[Leveling Up + Secret Identity Revealed + Game Management + A Nontraditional Female Player] Please add this to your reading list, QAQ. Thanks to every sweet reader for your support!
The game arrives, and the world changes.
Good news: Senior Zhou Xun thinks she won't have to take the college entrance exam.
Bad news: The game will reallocate everyone's initial stats based on a global standardized test, and the test dates coincide exactly with the national college entrance exam in China.
[Global Standardized Test]
[Participants: 8.292 billion]
[Test Period: June 7, 9:10 a.m. to June 9, 6:15 p.m.]
The college entrance exam has become a global test, and game talents will be assigned by lottery after the test.
Zhou Xun: I'm giving up completely!
The number of test takers has gone from 820,000 to 8.2 billion. How is that fair?
Even so, Zhou Xun takes the test seriously and nervously draws her game talent.
S-rank? A-rank? Well, B-rank would be fine too. Surely it won't be C-rank?
A golden light flashes
[Congratulations! You have been hired as an NPC in this game!]
Zhou Xun: ???
Zhou Xun: QAQ, so it's a heartbreaking job offer.
At first, Zhou Xun thinks she'll just be an NPC and live a quiet, ordinary life, treating it like a secure job. But once she starts, she discovers:
Before assigning quests, she has to try them herself, whether it's cooking a dish or fighting a boss, and rate their difficulty.
As for handing out rewards, well, it's hard to guess whose pocket they'll come out of.
Helping players fight monsters: does she want to fight? Does she? Stop luring the monsters over to her!
Running the shop: she's the only supplier at first. She brews the potions, cooks the food, and makes the weapons. And so on and so forth. Stop calling the store trash! Stop complaining about the quality!
She's doing her best!
After the big exam, people keep asking Zhou Xun what talent she got.
Zhou Xun: I'm not telling.
While others clear dungeons, she works.
While others draw cards, she works.
While others fight monsters, she works.
While others escape with their lives, she narrowly escapes work.
Does working have any perks? Sure.
Assign quests, gain 10 + 10 + 10 + 100 + 100 experience...
Hand out rewards: players get one share, and she gets a 10% commission.
Help fight monsters, gain 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 health...
Run the shop, gain 100 + 1,000 + 10,000 gold...
One day in the future, the System's will collapses, but Zhou Xun, whom everyone considers a useless player, is still playing with cats and dogs.
Zhou Xun: If the sky falls, someone tall will hold it up. What's there to panic about?
Another sparkling golden notification appears:
[You have become the new administrator of the Blue Star server.]
Zhou Xun: (pointing at herself.jpg) Me???
Blurb Two:
After the game announcement update, Zhou Xun gets a taste of top-tier star treatment, with topics about her dominating the trending charts.
A few of them are dating rumors, too.

P.S. The main plot is about work; romance is just a break from the daily grind.
Theme: Work hard and earn a fortune every day.
