The Pay-to-Win Genius Simulator

You are a free-to-play player, a daily-quest grinder, and a laid-back gamer who lies flat and enjoys life in the game.

One day, you win what claims to be a free game beta key and happily download The Arrogant Genius Simulator.

World One: Genius Girl of the Stars

You start in a garbage dump, dressed in rags and starving. You casually pick up a piece of bread and eat it.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have awakened the Gift of Unfathomable Strength and earned the title of Garbage-Picking Genius. Enjoy the fun of rummaging through trash cans to your heart's content!]

“...I might as well keep at it for a while.”

Over the next 12 hours, you acquire more than a dozen gifts, including “S-Rank Mental Power,” “Outsmarting Everyone,” and “Goddess of Luck.” Then a few golden words pop up above your head:

[Free trial over. Would you like to pay 6 yuan to unlock the complete version of the first instance?]

You: “Paying is impossible. Being free-to-play is an honor I will defend with my life.”

So you kill yourself and delete your account. After registering and logging in again, you discover that the game has a bug: deleting your account doesn't delete your save, and all your gifts and skills are still there.

Remember, you're a daily-quest player.

So, over the next 1,001 loops, you repeat the 12-hour beginner period again and again, accomplishing the following:

[Collected “1,000 Mystic Crystal Stones” from the garbage dump. Stamina maxed out, radiation resistance maxed out. Congratulations, you have earned the supreme title of “Strongest Arm Wrestler in the Galaxy.”]

[Successfully extracted “500 Premium Nutrient Solutions” from a sewage pool. Intelligence maxed out. Congratulations, you have earned the supreme title of “Greatest Pharmacist in the Galaxy.”]

[Kept giving nutrient solutions to the children nearby every day and won 1,001 loyal followers. Congratulations, you have obtained “A Team That Serves Only You.”]

On the 1,002nd attempt, you take your daily quests to their absolute limit and decide to quit the game. That day, the Chris Star System falls into immense grief. Their mightiest warrior, eternal sage, and spiritual beacon of the people at the bottom of society... has fallen.

World Two: Librarian of a Cultivation Novel's Library Pavilion

World Three: Terminator of a Sentinel-Guide World

After grinding your daily quests to the max, you plan to quit, only to discover... the game has officially launched. A gigantic interface intrudes into the world, everyone can participate, and the game is super pay-to-win. It's about to become a paradise for the rich.

You: “...I absolutely refuse to spend a single cent on capitalism!”

Theme: Live each day well.
