My Ex Is the Dungeon Customer Service Rep

Chen Ji is a busy forensic pathologist.

One day, while he was taking a shower, a few drops of water splashed onto his screen. It started flickering violently and automatically opened a website.

Chen Ji paid it no mind, closed his eyes, and prepared to put an end to a busy day.

He was woken by a pungent stench. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a pile of garbage!

As he tried to make sense of things, the phone in his pocket vibrated. When he opened it, a strange chat app appeared on the screen.

There was only one person on his friends list: User_9748. The chat window showed, "Typing..."

A moment later, a message popped up: "Welcome to an infinite-flow instance."

Chen Ji stared at the chat window, where "Typing..." still appeared above.

The chat window lit up again. "Please tell me your name and codename."

Chen Ji assumed someone was messing with him. What kind of instance needed a human customer-service representative?

He replied, "Who's playing this prank?"

"Your codename is 'Who's Playing This Prank.' Please tell me your real name."

Chen Ji was speechless. "Are you a bot?"

User_9748: "I'm a real person, dear user."

Chen Ji quickly typed a few words. "Who are you?"

"My name is Cheng Zhou, codename 9748. I am your personal System."

Chen Ji: "?"

That name brought back some unpleasant memories.

User_9748: "What's wrong, my dear user?"

Chen Ji: "Your name is the same as my ex's."

User_9748: "Chen Ji?"

Chen Ji laughed in anger. "So you disappeared after breaking up with me just to come to this godforsaken place and work as a customer-service rep?"

"You have no right to ask me anything unrelated to the instance," the other person replied.

"Now, please complete your task. A friendly reminder: cherish the one life you have."

Blurb for the next book-------------------

Across three consecutive TPL League finals, the matchup fans always cared about was Chen Yi's YS versus Wei Baichuan's LY.

Chen Yi's defense was meticulous. For two years running, he stopped Wei Baichuan's fierce attacks in the finals. As an entry fragger, Wei Baichuan lost to him in both finals.

At an in-person event, the host invited them to shake hands, but Chen Yi turned aside and walked right past him. "No need for formalities. Shake my hand after you've beaten me."

The clip spread across the internet in no time. The two were branded as archenemies, and their fans kept trading insults. Then news of Chen Yi leaving his team suddenly broke: due to internal problems at his former team, he had chosen to leave of his own accord.

That very day, LY followed the trending topic with an official announcement: Chen Yi had decided to join LY!

At the press conference, a reporter asked Wei Baichuan what he thought of his "archenemy becoming his teammate."

Wei Baichuan pretended to be calm and casual, though a vein throbbed at his temple. "I used to always want to break through his defense. Now we're on the same team, so how is this not another kind of breakthrough...?"

Their first publicly shown practice match left everyone amazed by their teamwork. They looked nothing like archenemies and more like teammates who had played together for years.

Fans exclaimed, "Are those two really enemies? Why do they look like a couple?"

But in reality, their teamwork was terrible when they first started practicing together. They lost nine out of ten matches.

Manager: "You two are staying together around the clock. Get used to each other's play and controls! We'll talk when your teamwork is seamless."

From then on, heated arguments could always be heard coming from the training room late at night. "I have my own ideas! Stop trying to control me!"

Chen Yi calmly reminded him, "Move toward B. The route you picked won't work. You won't be able to get out."

Wei Baichuan ignored him. After winning an impossible 1v3, he shot Chen Yi a taunting look. "I told you my route would work."

Chen Yi: "...It's hard for me to keep up with your playstyle."

Wei Baichuan frowned impatiently. "Tsk, which one of us is the captain? Who's supposed to work with whom?"

With a match coming up, their former team suddenly posted a statement claiming Chen Yi had been dismissed due to disagreements over strategy. Online, haters swarmed in an instant, and LY planned to wait before responding to the uproar.

But Wei Baichuan went straight to Weibo to publicly back Chen Yi, leaving the haters so confused they couldn't even tell who the haters were anymore.

When Chen Yi found out, he came to talk him down. "Calm down. Don't pick a fight with public opinion because of me."

Wei Baichuan: "I want to. What's it to you?"
