Synopsis

[Misunderstandings + playing an eerie NPC + secret identity + System + Infinite Flow instances + protagonist unaware + global livestream + supernatural resurgence + no romance]

After Yan Qingluo dies, she gets bound to an eerie NPC role-playing System and is forced to play an NPC in horror game instances, nervously slacking off while pretending to be a ghost!

The more timid she is, the more panicked the world becomes. The more she hides, the more players fall to their knees!

Everyone wildly misinterprets her actions. The calmer the heroine is, the more terrified they get!

When she calls out, “I want to go home,” to a shooting star on the rooftop, the entire interstellar civilization suddenly shudders in unison.

“God-level energy fluctuation detected! She’s summoning an evil god!”

Then she draws the [Elder One] card and scrawls on a hospital wall, “Can someone cover my shift?”

Every electronic screen in the Northern Hemisphere suddenly fills with static, revealing the same line of bloody text:

“We humbly obey the divine decree!”

Meanwhile, Yan Qingluo, who’s being chased for sneaking players’ snacks (though the players have no idea it’s Yan Qingluo), is curled up in a morgue drawer, frantically poking at the System:

“Can I draw a character who doesn’t have to move next time? Like a mute bride, an autistic gargoyle, or better yet, a corpse or a tombstone!”

I can't believe it, the author is so adorable! The content is wonderful and vivid. It's just that there are very few players dying in the dungeons, and there are hardly any children, elderly people, or foreigners. The horror dungeons don't quite fit the protagonist's character; a little more interaction with the player would be nice. But I'll still give it five stars and support the author by updating more! Isn't the protagonist a little too invincible?

I was surprised that the author is still updating, which is quite good. The only downside is that the transitions and key plot points are a bit boring. If it could be made more interesting, it could be considered a very good story! The female protagonist in Dihua is strong but unaware of it, and player feedback on her reaction to the chosen reagents is quite good. However, the gameplay is somewhat tedious and a bit bland.

The second dungeon was alright. As for the first one, well, to be honest, it didn't really feel like Dihua. The second dungeon had a decent Dihua flavor, but I didn't really feel any Dihua influence from the third one at first glance. The new book gets an extra four stars, and the synopsis is very well written, but the content itself might not live up to the synopsis's appeal.

Both the eerie atmosphere and the protagonist were terrified 🤦 It was strangely funny; the players who played victim and beneficiary throughout the entire story were incredibly imaginative. The author is so adorable! I have to give it five stars now.

In the earlier stages, some players still survived, but later they were all wiped out. It was worse than before, at least a few domestic players survived. Once all the high-end combat power was gone, things would be much better.

It's good. I like this kind of story with room for imagination, especially with the female lead.

When does the protagonist realize that he is invincible?

It's really good; the female lead is a pretentious little girl.
