Lin Lai has kidney failure and is too poor to afford dialysis.
To stay alive, she signs a contract to test a full-dive game.
Other people play games for fun. She plays to survive.
Other people spend money. She bets her life.
On her first day in the game, a security guard chases her through a supermarket with a six-foot broadsword.
System prompt: [Mildly scary instance. Proceed with caution.]
Lin Lai: You call this mildly scary?
Xiao Jiu: It means it'll only scare you so badly you wet yourself. You won't actually die.
Later, she discovers that this job is much more dangerous than she expected.
In the zombie instance, a talking boss stares at her and says, "We'll meet again." She thinks it's a story Easter egg, then realizes it might actually mean it.
In the nursery rhyme instance, every time a teammate opens their mouth, they spout advertising slogans. She starts wondering if she's stumbled into some kind of company retreat.
In the school instance, she thinks she's just going to class, but every day she's faced with absurd choices like summoning an evil god to catch the teacher or escaping the classroom on a broomstick.
In the dream instance, she wishes for a cup of milk tea. A wish-granting squirrel appears, along with a sixty-day countdown to fulfill her wish!
Lin Lai: I signed up to renew my lease on life, not to be a lab rat!
Xiao Jiu: But you are a lab rat, No. 013.
Lin Lai: ...Shut up.
Xiao Jiu: Okay.
But as she survives one instance after another and sees her account balance grow with points,
enough for one dialysis session, enough to pay off some debt, enough to live one more month,
she suddenly feels that maybe this lousy job isn't completely impossible to keep.
