The countdown to doomsday is 364 days. The system comes and billions of people around the world are forced into an infinite game.
Yu Yuan, an ordinary sophomore, became the first batch of players due to the "transfer" of his roommate.
Roommate died. Before she died, she left an unread message, which she never dared to open.
The first copy of "Late Night Convenience Store" - red lights cannot move, green lights allow free movement, and yellow lights cannot look at any "things". The system says rules must be followed, but the scratches on the wall say rules are meant to be broken. Five players, looping lights, struggling shadows on the wall, and faceless human figures. Yu Yuan discovered: Those faceless things were once players.
She got a mysterious pet named "Gugu" - a small ball of fur that glows and can recognize hidden rules. She met Lin, a strange man who never got dust on his shoes and always said "existence is reasonable". She learned about "kill value" - killing other players can end the instance early.
As the difficulty of the dungeon increased, Yu Yuan changed from a lone wolf strategy to forming a temporary team, from avoiding killing to actively hunting malicious players. She gradually uncovers the truth about the system: this is not a game, but a "harvest" that lasts for three epochs. Behind the system are entities known as the "Parliament of Gods", which feed on the souls of strong human beings and maintain order in the universe. And Yu Yuan's roommate Ji Sisi is actually a descendant of the strongest player in the previous era - she chose to hand over the "key" to Yu Yuan.
When the whole world was waiting in despair for the end of the world to come to zero, Yu Yuan made a choice: not to follow the rules, not to blindly break the rules, but to understand the rules.
