Synopsis:
Public safety in Haishi is far from ideal.
Various factions are tangled together, and kidnappings, robberies, shootouts, and explosions are everyday occurrences.
After transmigrating here, Sheng Baifeng takes one look at the familiar System interface and knows exactly what he has to do:
Just like the protagonist of the game he played before transmigrating, he will uphold justice, punish the wicked, and make Haishi a wonderful, civilized international metropolis.
The city-building project proceeds steadily. During this time, Sheng Baifeng meets his good friend Zuo Duqiu.
His friend doesn't want to reveal his identity, so Sheng Baifeng guesses he might be one of those mysterious agents who occasionally appear in anime.
One day, the System issues a warning: Zuo Duqiu has a secret crush on him, and he must take precautions against this danger immediately.
Being an agent is pretty dangerous, after all.
Sheng Baifeng takes the System's warning very seriously. He finds an opportunity to lay things out with Zuo Duqiu, firmly telling him that they could never be together, so that Zuo Duqiu can give up.
But Zuo Duqiu tells him that there was never any secret crush. He actually has erotomania and imagines that other people are in love with him.
Could the System have made a mistake?
Sheng Baifeng has never noticed any signs of a crush from Zuo Duqiu, so he begins to waver.
The System's error causes Sheng Baifeng some trouble.
Ever since their talk, Zuo Duqiu has proposed a treatment plan to satisfy his psychological fantasies and ease his symptoms, and has repeatedly said he'd be willing to sacrifice himself for their friendship.
But that's not even the worst of it.
At long last, the procrastinating System refreshes and delivers the main quest:
According to statistics, the player has participated in 80 brawls and 10 shootouts this quarter, and sent five people to the bottom of the sea. Current reputation: Somewhat Notorious.
Based on the player's current behavioral tendencies and reputation, the main quest "Dark Overlord" has been unlocked.
Sheng Baifeng: ???
He did nothing but good deeds, and still unlocked the dark route. Does that make any sense?
Baffled, Sheng Baifeng talks with Zuo Duqiu about his ambitions.
In a grave tone, Sheng Baifeng delivers a melodramatic line: "I will become the Dark Overlord. I will rule the entire underworld."
A flash of surprise passes through Zuo Duqiu's shadowed gaze. A moment later, he smiles faintly. "All right. You can have it."
Theme: Be a good person.
