After Players' Inner Thoughts Were Leaked in an Infinite-Flow Game

Main story complete! Luo Shang was originally the fake young master in a danmei novel. After an accident swept him into an infinite-loop game for hundreds of years, he became a powerful player in the infinite-flow world. Recently, he had a fight with the captain of the loop game team, so he took leave and returned to his original world for a vacation. * Luo Shang originally thought he would have to take matters into his own hands to escape the tragic fate of that melodramatic novel. The truth, however, was the opposite of what he'd expected. At the family recognition banquet, Luo Shang announced that he was changing his surname to Luo, changing his original name, Su Shang, to Luo Shang. The Su family members: “Yes, absolutely, no problem. Luo sounds better! You can take whatever surname you like. You can be Su on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and Luo on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays!” Everyone else at the birthday banquet: ? Since when had the Su family been so good to this spoiled brat? What they didn't know was that the Su family members were listening in terror to Luo Shang's thoughts: “What if they don't agree? Should I brainwash them? Alter their perception? I'm not very good at mind-related abilities... What if I turn them all into idiots...” The Su family members: “We have absolutely no objections to you changing your surname!” They didn't want to become idiots! * While discussing the marriage alliance, Luo Shang casually said, “Since I'm not the Su family's real young master, give Mr. Shen to my second brother.” The Shen family patriarch was about to frown. Was his grandson some kind of object, something they could just hand over? What did Luo Shang take his grandson for? Then he heard his grandson, the original male lead Shen Changqing, immediately reply, “Sure, no problem. I'll live happily with your second brother. Don't worry, I won't bother you again!” The Shen family patriarch: ? Was this really his proud, high-minded grandson? What he didn't realize was that Shen Changqing was trembling at Luo Shang's thoughts: “This is such a hassle. Hurry up and call it off. Why isn't he saying anything? He doesn't want to break it off, does he? If he refuses, I'll put him out of his misery, then pretend to be him and turn it down...” Shen Changqing: “You want me to date your second brother, right? I have no objections!” What was a little romance compared to the threat of death? * After the engagement was called off, the Xu family head came to visit in person, hoping to arrange a marriage alliance with the third young master, Luo Shang. Luo Shang ignored him and brushed him off with one sentence: “I have a boyfriend.” A boyfriend? But ever since breaking off his engagement with Shen Changqing, you haven't been close to anyone! Before the Xu family head could frown, Shen Changqing spoke up righteously beside him. “That's right. He really does have a boyfriend. That's why I called off the engagement so decisively!” The Xu family head: ? Wait, why are you so worked up? I heard the real reason you called off the engagement was something else! The Su family members and Shen Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. Because just a few seconds earlier, Luo Shang had thought: “Are they really trying to arrange a marriage alliance? I can't let my boyfriend find out about this. He's pretty possessive. If he finds out, he might destroy the world while I'm not looking.” They exchanged glances, sharing an understanding only their own kind could know. That's right. We just saved the world! * One day during Luo Shang's relaxing vacation, when everything was going his way, his cross-dimensional communicator suddenly rang. The wails of his team members poured through it. “Deputy Captain, please come back! If you don't, the captain's going to destroy the fifth world! We can't stop him, aaah!” The voice on the other end suddenly changed. A magnetic male voice spoke: “I'm sorry, I was wrong. Can we stop giving each other the silent treatment? Will you come back?” The whole story in one sentence: Drink a little and you get to act all high and mighty. Defy me, and your life could be on the line. P.S. 1. The title and blurb have changed before, and may change again in the future. 2. Neither the gong nor the shou is human in the ordinary sense. Don't judge them by universal standards of morality. Think of them in terms of the usual moral standards of protagonists in infinite-flow or apocalypse stories. 3. More notes will be added if I think of any. 2023.10.12 version My friend's serial is currently a huge hit!

The brains of the operation, with secret identities everywhere and questionable mental stability (shou) × A pure-hearted evil god, a divinely gifted love-struck tool (gong) [Authorized professional agencies to pursue infringements. Don't repost stolen chapters unless you want the unpleasantness of legal trouble.] Tips: 1. A full-on dissociative identity extravaganza. Combat ability and morality fluctuate with each identity card. The gong is a background character, a very background character indeed. 2. The identity cards in the blurb aren't all of them. The protagonist is an actor who never reveals his secret identities in public. The arcs are written in the order their outlines were developed, and some identities get a second round. 3. Rule-based horror, infinite-flow, and secret-identity story, with a focus on eerie rules, exploration, and puzzle-solving. There isn't much horror, but the various strange instances have many unusual core mechanics. 4. Puzzle-solving infinite-flow stories are a special genre. Some instances only make sense at the very end. If you're rereading, please don't spoil the specific rules in the early chapters. I'll delete comments that reveal the puzzle solution before the clues have been laid out, since they'll seriously affect the reading experience for first-time readers. If other comments are mistakenly removed by moderation or an admin, you can appeal through the backend. 5. The first comment to correctly identify the core mechanic before the story reveals the solution will get a big red-envelope reward. Other correct deductions will be highlighted after the solution. If you're reading for the first time and don't want spoilers, don't open the highlighted comments. Theme: Stay positive and keep striving.
