[Hilarious farming, a laid-back heroine, passionate infrastructure building, a system, and a comeback]
She’s bound to a Positive Energy Village Chief System, but her idea of positive energy is… killing everything in sight?
Gu Xiaoyu was a background NPC in the full-dive online game Fairy Fate Chronicles. Every day, she watered flowers, daydreamed, and got ignored. Her life motto was, “If I lie low enough, the plot can’t catch up with me.”
Then the game world merged with reality, and she was forcibly bound to the [Positive Energy Village Chief System], becoming the acting village chief of Qinghe Village.
System: Please lead the entire village out of poverty and build a new countryside!
Gu Xiaoyu: I choose to slack off.
System: Please repel the monsters and defend the village!
Gu Xiaoyu: I choose to play dead.
System: Please… (garbled by the Host’s outrageous antics)
Later
At first, the villagers were unimpressed: “What does a little girl know?”
Later, the whole village was won over: “Village Chief! Take us on another wild ride!”
And the aloof System that was always watching her in secret quietly handed over a set of blueprints. “The city walls you wanted. I’ve drawn them up.”
Gu Xiaoyu grew wary. “…Are you trying to make me work overtime too?”
When the game’s Supreme God descended to erase this “error,” the villagers grabbed their hoes, the System spewed garbled text, and the reclusive God of War silently drew his sword.
Gu Xiaoyu sighed and clapped her hands at the data black hole looming overhead:
“Don’t be afraid. Tell it, ”
“We’re paying players.”
