Her small body makes all the players afraid of her. But she is observant of her country and becomes a little undercover agent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ② The female lead, Wu Le, is an NPC who works in various dungeons.

The female lead is pulled into the game as an NPC while she's asleep, with no holidays, no benefits, and even has to earn her own items. If she doesn't want to participate, she'll disappear, so she starts working hard. In the first few dungeons, the female lead is particularly weak, but she is very observant and is constantly threatened by the male player. However, the female protagonist still cares about her country and helps her fellow countrymen (who uphold socialist core values) complete their missions. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

    This is an [Infinite Flow + No Romance] novel where the protagonist plays an NPC. It's a pretty good book, one of the few I've followed all this time. However, because it stopped updating for a while, fewer people are keeping up with the later updates. The female lead is a character who grows and develops. Honestly, I felt it was a bit of a shame that so few people read this book anymore. Also, please note that the female lead has a brother who disappeared and was erased from existence. Later, she's pulled into the game, supposedly to find her brother. Many people actually quit because of this.
