Tang Wu'e's owner went AFK.
He waited and waited, until he gained self-awareness, until @Yingui was added after his name, until Jian Wang 3 updated its weather system and the sun and moon cycled again and again, until everyone around him had realistic faces while his own stylized face looked completely out of place in the crowd.
He waited until his owner's childhood friend's character told him that his owner had made a new character on another server.
In the devil's first hundred years trapped in a jar, he said, "Whoever frees me will enjoy wealth and status beyond their dreams."
In the devil's second hundred years in the jar, he said, "Whoever frees me will have all the wealth in the world."
In the devil's third hundred years in the jar, he said, "Whoever frees me will have three wishes granted."
After three hundred years had passed, the devil said, "From now on, whoever frees me, I'll kill."
Tang Xuan finally had a weekend off without overtime and wanted to join the faction battle, but couldn't log in on either his phone or computer. He heard the event was over that very night, and the rare crystal and mount had sold for more than twenty thousand bricks. What a loss!
To lift his spirits, he went out for barbecue, drank two bottles of beer, and kicked something on the roadside on his way home.
He looked down. [Tempting Boiled Fish]
Huh? Had he had too much to drink?
When an unprecedented adventure popped up in Jian Wang 3, he belatedly realized these events weren't pranks by bored players at the end of the season.
As usual, the adventure journal was frustratingly vague: "Esteemed hero, for unknown reasons, the anomalies originally contained within Jian Wang 3 have escaped. Please assist in containing them. Contain all the anomalies to receive the title... something-or-other Hongyi Jun."
What?
Looking at the little orange weapon that had appeared out of nowhere in his hand, Tang Xuan became an outside operative for the Anomaly Management Bureau.
(The setting takes place in a world where anomalies already exist, with Jian Wang 3 itself being one of the major anomalies. The fact that using the Jian Wang 3 tag gets no traffic is already pretty anomalous!)
