Jiang Zhou opened the first page of the murder-mystery game script, and a passage caught his eye:
[You are a slave owner in the city of Popeda.
You are twisted, cold, and selfish, and you have never cared about human life.
You keep a gladiator.
Recently, because of a ridiculous wager, you are sending him into the arena to fight a lion from the beast cage.
You can live only if he wins. If he loses, you must die.
Unfortunately, after the inhuman abuse you have subjected him to, this gladiator hates you to the core.
Even an idiot can see that he wants you dead. How could he willingly submit to you, pledge his loyalty, and risk his life for you?
You have one month left.
What can you do to tame him and win his favor, so he will win this life-or-death match for you?]
Jiang Zhou frowned, closed the book, and picked up another script:
[In a time of chaos, you were chosen by the regent because you look just like the eldest princess.
You went from a beggar as insignificant as a floating duckweed to ruler of a nation.
In the eyes of others, you are a sparrow transformed into a phoenix, blessed with unbelievable luck.
But unfortunately, you are a fool.
Is an emperor's job really easy? Only you know the bitterness and tears it brings.
By day, you must anxiously fend off the ministers' verbal attacks. At night, you must moonlight as the bed warmer for the regent, a beast in human form.
He has never looked you in the eye, treating you only as a useless plaything.
Worst of all, there is no overtime pay.
...Even a fool has a temper!
You decide to run away.]
Jiang Zhou frowned even harder, tossed this one aside like a hot potato, and picked up another:
[You are the last Elven King, kindhearted and benevolent by nature.
One evening, deep in a secluded valley, you rescue a lost child.
The elders do everything they can to stop you, but you keep him by your side, teaching him right from wrong and good from evil, hoping he will walk the path of light.
But you were wrong.
He was never a lost fawn who wandered into the forest. He was a blade planted by the demons, a spy who infiltrated the royal court.
You brought the enemy into your own home. The elven people were drowned in blood, the royal court was toppled, and you fell from your throne to become a prisoner, a "trophy" for your enemies to humiliate as they pleased.
In seven days, the demons will hold their sacrificial rite.
Your enemy will announce before everyone that he is taking you as his "queen," and brand your soul as his forever.
The chance you have dreamed of and waited in hiding for is finally within reach
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
You resolve to make them pay for every humiliation and every drop of blood and tears you have endured over the years.]
And then there was a particularly cryptic script, so incomprehensible you couldn't tell what it was about:
[Longing for the extravagant life of the upper class, you came with your adoptive father to the ancient, tranquil Oveisin Manor.
But you do not know that beneath its beautiful brickwork lie heaps of bones, piled as high as mountains.
Before you can calm your excitement, terrible news arrives
your adoptive father has died under mysterious circumstances, and a pair of scarlet eyes in the darkness has fixed its gaze on you.
The vampire calls you "Nightingale" and does everything it can to drag you into the mire, where you can sink together.
Imprisoned and alone, how will you escape this hell?
Choose your fate
Prune the frail branches;
or offer your neck to the blade?]
Jiang Zhou put down the script with a troubled expression.
"Is this really a legitimate business? I'm afraid I can't, "
The employee smiled and cut him off. "Rest assured. As a specially invited murder-mystery game reviewer, you'll receive two million yuan for the experience."
"...Sorry, I just lost my memory. I've never seen such brilliantly designed scripts, with such great pacing, characterization, and prose... The prose is so concise and refined! Let's start the experience right now. I'm ready!"
The ability to bend and stretch is a survival skill every young person should learn.
Much later, however, Jiang Zhou realized that he'd been conned.
Two million was nowhere near enough to compensate for his emotional damages, because the employee had given him scripts that were utterly, utterly vulgar and completely lacking in refined taste...
Romance scripts full of suggestive content.

The VR murder-mystery game format can also be read as quick transmigration or an infinite-flow story.
An opposites-attract couple who love and fight each other, one-on-one, happy ending.
[Important] The main story starts with the fourth script in the blurb, the European-style manor. The gladiator one is in World Two.
There are seven worlds in total. The blurb is too short to include them all.
The author named the novel with their feet, Orz. The title will probably be changed later, but they haven't thought of a new one yet.
Theme: When all roads seem to end, keep your heart set on a way forward
Either refuse to go to the dinner party directly, or go to the dinner party to socialize normally. If you go to the dinner party and don't eat or drink, aren't you deliberately trying to lose face? If you are worried about being drugged, is it difficult to say that you can only boil water if you take cephalosporin? Is it difficult to say that you can only eat a little bit as an artist? There are no colorless and odorless medicines today, and defense is too much. I would feel seriously humiliated if someone refused to eat or drink while I was treating someone else. Of course, this does not mean that drinking is correct, but the emotional intelligence of the protagonist is really hard to describe.
It's not long, I really like this length. It's great. I feel more complete after this episode. I can't remember clearly some of the descriptions of Xi's search for He Xiubiao before. It seemed that he was looking at He Xiubiao and felt like he liked it. This episode made this feeling come true. He and Yi felt sour, while He and Xi felt sweet~
The author's writing style is really good, and the suspenseful and fantasy atmosphere is also well created. The protagonist's character is very cute. If you like Western fantasy and suspense style, don't miss 🤩. The update is stable. If you collect and follow it, you will get a [touch on the head] from the cute new author (pure tap advertising)
I feel like the mysterious bank manager is related to vampires.
The sky is falling, why are there only 7 chapters! The writing in big letters is pretty nice. Come on, come on.
The emotional transition is a bit abrupt. Why did Heloria fall in love with Sidrance? How did Sidrance's favor develop into love? This process was too hasty. By the way, where did Igreel go in the extra story?
There are still some that I don't quite understand. Heloria's notebook recording the plot was just lost, and she didn't get it back even after she left? Also, voluntarily becoming a vampire is a condition for clearing the level. Is this something Heloria deduced or did she meet unintentionally?
OK OK. Looking forward to 10,000 words of updates every day
There are also many puzzles. For example, the blue rose appeared in the last two chapters, but this image did not appear in the previous chapters. Did the author say before that he found a small flaw and planned to revise it after the chapter is finished? Also, why did Heloria think that the script would end after she was first embraced by Hedrans?
How wonderful it would be if the author could write 10,000 words per day
