[Ding! Welcome to the survival game Wasteland Online. Current survivor difficulty: Hell.]
[Rule One: The Lord God cannot be defied.]
[Rule Two: The Lord God is the only order.]
[Rule Three: If you violate the above rules, you have the right to remain silent, but anything you say may be used as evidence against you.]
Lin Yuan read the last rule and laughed.
Three years after their breakup, her ex-boyfriend Ji Sheng had become the game’s “Lord God,” designing the rules, controlling life and death, and worshipped by countless players.
And she was a low-level player crushed by the rules again and again.
Until someone told her the game’s source code had been written by a player named “Ji Sheng.” Buried deep within the code was a hidden variable that had never been activated:
[If player “Lin Yuan” survives to the final chapter, the System will automatically execute: transfer of Lord God privileges.]
“What is he trying to do?” everyone wondered.
Lin Yuan remembered what that boy had once told her: “If one day I owned the whole world, it would only be so I could give it to you.”
She looked up at the surveillance camera, the eyes through which he watched her.
“You’re crazy,” she mouthed silently.
On the other side of the screen, the man’s lips slowly curled into a smile. “Isn’t it normal to go crazy for you?”
