I Logged In and Immediately Ran Into an AFK Player
P.S. From the title, you might think this is a story about an online game.
Well, you're right,
but that's not the whole story.
Here's the blurb:
In the year 2250 of the Dongyuan era, technology has advanced tremendously.
The biggest company in the gaming industry has spent five years carefully developing The Road to Conquest.
It opens for beta testing.
Hua Lan is out of luck.
After finally standing out among countless players,
he becomes one of the few selected for the beta test
and enters the long-awaited Continent of Kongmeng.
But as soon as he logs in, he meets a teammate who's AFK.
Worse still,
the two have been randomly paired by the System and can't break up the team.
They have to clear the game together.
With no other choice, he lets the teammate follow him.
But is this guy really AFK?
Why does he always hit the right spot
at every critical moment?
The game is well made,
but isn't the story taking a strange turn?
The NPCs are unbelievably smart, and there are fewer and fewer players.
Wasn't it true that once you entered the game, you couldn't leave partway through,
and had to wait until at least one team cleared the final dungeon
and obtained the Flower of Life before logging out?
So where did everyone go?
They have no time to worry about any of that.
All they can do is keep moving forward.
After enduring countless hardships,
they finally obtain the Flower of Life.
But then a voice suddenly sounds in their minds.
It turns out there was never any distinction between reality and virtuality.
Everything they've experienced has been for...
