In a cyberpunk world, a game called High-Risk Performance suddenly takes the world by storm.
Countless roles and an endless supply of instances: whether you’re a wanted con artist or a dying tycoon, if you win the game, it might even grant your wish to destroy the world.
Players are ecstatic and rush to join.
Lin Zhaotong wakes up after an explosion. At first, she thinks she’s been handed an escape-room scenario.
The research institute has exploded, and she’s trapped underground. She’s a frail office worker who has to find her escaped test subject within three days or die. To make matters worse, there’s a group of ill-intentioned security guards nearby.
Lin Zhaotong gasps: What a disastrous start!
But things get even harder to handle as she explores. The mercury in the changing-room locker calls her “Mom.” The escaped test subject says they’re the same kind. The world she’s in is a game instance, the security guards around her are players, and she herself…
Great. It turns out she isn’t even human.

In neon-lit skyscrapers, the rich fall amid jewels, bathing and burning incense, while the poor offer up their souls to worship the game.
In the game instances, where reality and illusion blur, players don’t initially consider NPCs to be alive.
Then a silver-white beast swallows the city, wolves slip through the shadows, and vines burst through the ground. Lin Zhaotong makes her dazzling entrance, and only then does someone realize the game has broken into reality, and what kind of monster has emerged from it.
The chains of power and wealth are severed, plunging the real world into chaos.
Lin Zhaotong’s response: “That’s normal. When we leaders make our entrance, it’s always this spectacular.”
[Reader’s Guide]
1. There is a romance plot. The male lead is not just a background character. He is the female lead’s childhood friend, a wolf, and appears midway through the story.
2. This is my own take on the worldbuilding. No one is human.
3. The female lead is nonhuman, chaotic neutral, and occasionally a villain.
4. More to come.
Theme: I decide my own fate
I watched the end [Sahua] I didn't expect it to break away from the conventional player-led perspective and stand from the perspective of NPCs. Actually, it doesn't mean that there are no NPCs, but my unlimited stream depends on the player's upgrade. The sudden change of perspective also has a different flavor [Goutou] I feel that the other settings of the teacher are all new to me. Sure enough, the teacher who wrote the unlimited stream has a big head [Sahua]
Ah ah ah you are the protagonist, you can't die!
The teacher's plot rhythm is so well controlled, and every paragraph is just right [Spreading Flowers] I enjoyed watching it very much. I finished it in one sitting. I feel that the confrontation between the players will be deep in the future 😩
Let's talk about the heroine. The Wuhu heroine's identity is very layered. On the surface, she looks like a weak researcher, but in reality she is very powerful [Spread flowers] I like strong female protagonists [Applause]
Fuck you, you are the real NPC
People are very adaptable
It feels like two people mistook each other for an NPC, which is fun.
This curse is too civilized, worthy of Wenwen Ning
As expected of you, you can encourage and praise yourself [Okay]
No... People who engage in scientific research are usually lunatic types 💔
