Working to Raise a Boss After Becoming an Infinite-Flow NPC

Shen Xi died twice.

After his first death, he became a player in an infinite-flow world. If he earned enough points, he could get one chance to come back to life and return to reality.

But he was a fragile college student, so he died again in the beginner dungeon.

After his second death, he became an original NPC in the infinite-flow world. He had to work in the dungeons to earn points and support himself.

When he first started working, his NPC coworkers often scared him... and it took him a long time to recover.

His first job was as a cashier at a convenience store in a university dungeon. He also had to stock the shelves, and he lived and ate in the dungeon to save points.

After all, he had only died recently and didn't have enough points to rent a small place. He also didn't want to share an apartment with other NPCs.

Shen Xi wondered, did sharing a place with NPCs count as living in a haunted house? Maybe he should pass.

Working in the infinite-flow dungeons wasn't much different from working in the real world. It was just harder to earn points, transportation was less convenient, and the phones weren't as advanced. It was like living in a world twenty years behind his own.

Then one day, his ordinary life was turned upside down.

By the bus stop in the university district, he encountered a frail-looking man with a slender build and pale face. Even though the man was a head taller than him, Shen Xi could tell he was weak, as if he hadn't eaten in days.

Out of kindness, Shen Xi took him back to the staff dormitory where he was staying.

The man seemed unable to speak. He was mute, very quiet, and never said a word. His dark eyes were half-hidden beneath his lowered lashes, making him look gloomy and ghostly.

But Shen Xi thought he was better-looking than every NPC he'd ever seen, so he probably wasn't a bad person.

Shen Xi cooked for him, treated his wounds, and let him sleep on the sofa.

Somehow, the two of them ended up living together.

They traveled from dungeon to dungeon, working and saving points while taking advantage of the dungeons wherever they could. They also used Xie Lingji's storage space to stock up on all kinds of goods, and lived very comfortably.

Xie Lingji, who had a tendency toward anorexia, also became healthier.

Only after they got together did Shen Xi learn that his partner was the heir to an elite family in one of the dungeon series, and a boss to boot. He was on a completely different level from a little nobody like Shen Xi.

Shen Xi fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Does this mean I've married into a rich family?"

"No." Xie Lingji pushed his identification papers toward Shen Xi. "You have to get a marriage certificate for that."
