The once-popular online game Drunken Dreams of the Mortal World finally caught up with the times, launching a full-dive version in a bid to win back its former players. They thought it might become a hit again, but the game remained as quiet and desolate as ever.
Until one day, a top player named Ruyi issued a challenge on Weibo:
#DrunkenDreamsFullDive# @WhiteSugarIsSweet White Sugar, you dare steal my monster? Next Saturday, I’m bringing our guild leader along. Are you taking us on in a guild war or not?
Another top player replied:
@RuyiRuyiGrantMyWish Please, how can you accuse us when you’re the ones who stole our monster? Your guild leader? Our guild has the best healer in the whole game. Bring on the guild war. Who’s scared of whom?
Wang Shu, who played quietly and was determined not to let anyone discover his secret identity: “...”
Song Ran, who only wanted to run dungeons in peace and then amaze everyone: “...”
And just like that, Drunken Dreams of the Mortal World became a hit. Downloads in a single week surpassed the total for the entire previous year.
On the day of the guild war, all the players on the Splendid Brocade River server, along with those who had paid to transfer there, showed up to watch the battle of the century. Most wanted to see the top players in action, except for two who wanted nothing to do with the commotion.
And so, the two top players, both on their alternate accounts, happened to meet on a bridge.
Song Ran: “...” Huh? How come there’s someone else here who didn’t go join the fun? Perfect, we can run a two-player dungeon!
Song Ran, who only wanted to run dungeons: “Dungeon? Coming or not?”
Wang Shu, bored out of his mind: “Sure, sure.” He had nothing better to do anyway!
Half an hour later
[System] Congratulations to players Low-Key Luxury with Class and Third Lucky Carp for discovering a hidden dungeon!
It's a sweet article. For someone like me who reads holographic articles, the word count is manageable and the plot is my favorite style. It's really worth reading.
It looks pretty good so far
