Reaching the Top in a Survival Game

[This novel was previously titled *In the Escape Game, I...* orz. My no-CP novel next door, "I Inherited a City God Temple", is now available for pre-order.]

After money-loving player Yun Xubai entered an escape game, his first question was, “Can I pay to win?”

His teammate said, “You can pay with your life.”

Late at night, a female ghost with long, damp, icy hair stood beside his bed.

Yun Xubai grinned and held up the scissors in his hand. “Want a membership? Wash, cut, and blow-dry starts at 9,999 yuan. No discounts, even for the dead.”

[The following is a blurb for a forthcoming novel.

Forthcoming: "I Inherited a City God Temple"

After his close friend died suddenly at work from overexertion, architect Yun Wulv grew tired of the city’s hectic, anxious pace. He quit his job and returned to a small village, planning to start a quiet life as a farmer.

On his very first day back in the countryside, an old man showed up at his door, eagerly offering him a job.

“Young fella, I’ve got a job for you. Work from five in the evening until nine in the morning, with meals, room and board, and on-the-job training included. It’s a permanent position, and you get two adorable pets and a deluxe burial plot. Interested?”

“No thanks. I just want to quietly be a good-for-nothing…” Yun Wulv instinctively refused, then paused. “Wait, did you say pets?”

The old man grinned, his face crinkling with deep wrinkles. “Yep. I’ll bring them over tonight.”

That evening, the old man really did bring him two pets: a two-meter-tall, two-headed hellhound and a floating, sentient eternal flame that could talk.

“Congratulations on officially starting your job as the next City God.” The old man rubbed his hands together with a grin. “It’s a little risky, but don’t worry, we’re giving you a deluxe burial plot!”

Yun Wulv: “…” Why don’t you just bury me right now?
