Dealing Cards in an Infinite Game

Written in advance, updated daily. 1 Yan Jiu is the No. 9 dealer in the Infinite Game. During one instance, he diligently and conscientiously disguised himself as an innocent passerby NPC. When the players searched for clues, he pretended to study. When they dodged the monsters hunting them, he pretended to be scared. When they defused a bomb, he played the part of an injured student... All he had to do was wait for a player to trigger a card-draw task, then he could finish his job with ease and leave once it was done. Unexpectedly, just before the explosion, the players overcame countless obstacles and dragged him, an insignificant NPC, through the entire instance to escape, right up until the end. Li Xingxu: "So, shall we bind together?" Yan Jiu: "Thanks, but no. ▼_▼" 2 At the scene of a car accident, flames, blood, and despair descended. Yan Jiu stopped beside a shattered car window and bent down, revealing a face so pale it seemed to glow, beautiful and almost otherworldly. He smiled at the human on the verge of death inside the car. "Sir, your life is now on a countdown. Before darkness descends, choose one card: a life card or a death card. Which will it be?" "Life..." The human managed to force out a single word. A black card edged in gold fell beside him, and a voice came to his ear: "Enjoy the game, sir." 3 [Ding-dong!

Mwah!] Blurb edited on 2024.3.27 Reader's guide: · Updates go live at 00:00 each day (advance notice will be given in special circumstances). · Dealers have a portable System, a chatty little pet that does not issue mandatory tasks. · There are no absolutely good people in this story. The main cast is even harder to classify as good or evil. The protagonist in particular may kill someone at any time (this is just an excuse for letting him do whatever he wants). · Everyday life and game instances are split 50/50. · No nitpicking, please. I don't need writing advice.
