Yao Jiu was an ordinary person. Two years ago, he moved to Xingfu City and became an ordinary wage slave, working from eight in the morning until ten at night.
Recently, a coworker recommended a thrilling supernatural-action comic called Slay. They said everyone could find their personal kinks in it, and that people needed the world of anime and manga to get by.
The heart of a miserable wage slave was as cold as a knife.
One day, Yao Jiu flipped through the comic out of boredom and was immediately hooked. When he reached the latest chapter, a new character appeared: Nobody.
Long legs, a slim waist, and fair skin. The official profile declared that his face alone could charm countless people. He was neither wholly good nor evil, ruthless, and maxed out in the art of mockery. The ultimate badass! Countless readers were utterly bewitched.
The protagonist's group encountered a looping horror incident at a bus stop. The villain was gloating, certain of victory, when Nobody rose leisurely and casually announced that his stop was here. He got off, the loop was broken, and the villain was struck by the backlash and fled in defeat!
The villain planted a bomb in a huge shopping mall, confident as the countdown ticked away. But Nobody lazily tossed a rice cooker disguised as a bomb onto the information desk, crushed the device with one hand, and said that tricks like these were for children playing house.
Comic comments:
[Ahhhh, his eyes are so hot, just kill me already!]
[He may love showing off, but he's totally my type.]
Yao Jiu: He does show off a bit, but he feels familiar somehow.
?!
That's obviously me!
[He's so wild! He told the big boss to put a leash on his dog. And that's a hellhound! He just keeps provoking him again and again.]
Yao Jiu: That teddy bear is a bit fierce, sure, but it's nowhere near a hellhound. I'm just a concerned citizen trying to encourage responsible dog walking.
[The beauty wore a suit and smoky eye makeup at the bar. This guy knows exactly how to use his looks to seduce me.]
Yao Jiu: ...Those dark circles are from working all night, thanks. I'm miserable too, having to discuss business at a bar because of that damn client.
[The great Nobody always appears at the bus stop at midnight. He must be headed for a future we can't reach, or waiting for someone far beyond his grasp.]
Yao Jiu: I take the bus home after work. It's cheaper than a shared bike.
[As the heroes and villains clashed, Nobody's eyes were filled with sorrow. This was the first time he showed his true emotions. He must be hiding pain we know nothing about. I can't resist a tragic hero who's beautiful and strong! Sob!]
Yao Jiu: You'd be even more desperate than me if your salary got cut down to three digits.
Yao Jiu was stunned. Where had the big villain come from? What were all these supernatural powers and monsters? Stop making things up! He hadn't done anything... Fine, since it's come to this, the author should pay him for his appearances. Then he could quit this awful job!
#Please stop imagining things about a poor wage slave!
#Taking out the trash isn't a street-style photo shoot. Why add all these dark filters?
#Stop asking why I show up at the bus stop at midnight. I want to get off work early too!
The comic's popularity kept rising. As the plot unfolded, Nobody's past slowly came to light, leaving countless readers in tears.
[So much for carefree days. Nobody's the one carrying the burden for everyone!]
[No one knows what kind of past lies behind the great Nobody's mask.]
[Who could resist such a badass? Who could resist a tragic, beautiful, strong character?]
Yao Jiu eagerly opened his takeout box. For some reason, his deliveries had been arriving much faster lately. Was it because VIP customer had been misprinted on the box?
Haha, the wage slave had finally found a perk to milk.
◎ If you decide to drop this story, please don't tell me. Thank you.

Theme: Love, sunshine, blankets, and holidays
I didn't expect it to have such a bland and happy ending 😭 At first I thought it was some kind of shady story, but the subsequent development was actually a bit unexpected. In fact, when I saw the part about "eliminating unreasonableness", I was quite upset, because in my mind, the follow-up should be that Xiaojiu found out that he was a real human being and then entered the other world to control the plot of the comic. But no, the boss's enlightenment to Xiaojiu was really confusing. Then when the boss regained his memory, what those gods said to the boss, I was afraid that the boss's attitude towards Xiaojiu would change, such as locking up Xiaojiu or killing him, but that didn't happen. After hearing those words, the boss scolded them for being bad 😭 In the end, I thought the boss's psychological suggestion would suggest that I remember Xiaojiu's identity of no one, but no, it was just "always respect Xiaojiu's ideas" 😭 and always put Xiaojiu first. Finally, Xiaojiu living alone here makes me feel so lonely. There is always a feeling that Xiaojiu knows his identity, so he has locked himself here forever 😭 At the same time, I feel very lucky that Xiaojiu did not become a behind-the-scenes mastermind or something, nor was he chased and beaten by everyone. He chose to live alone. You must be happy forever 😭 😭 😭
Xiaojiu must have known the truth to some extent, but he wants an ordinary life, which is also the blessing of his mother and father 😭 Staying in an uninhabited land connected to multiple worlds is the best ending for Xiaojiu. This is really a good gift.
This Weiqiu is really disgusting. Xiaojiu's parents have tried so hard to let Xiaojiu live a normal life. This Weiqiu wants to target Xiaojiu. Why don't you go find out the reason?
Being an ordinary person is a blessing to Xiaojiu! 😭
Only then did I realize it was 325,000 words, so complete! Enjoy it!
Good Xiaojiu, always loved! Will there be any extras?
Congratulations on the completion! Is there any extra story about Boss?
Xiaojiu, you must live happily 😳
Thank you to heaven, thank you to earth, thank you for your hard work~ Congratulations on the completion!!!
Holy shit, 20,000, holy shit, it's over (?) [Knock on the wooden fish] [Knock on the wooden fish] [Knock on the wooden fish]
