[Infinite] Healing Is Our Specialty

Liu Suyue becomes the first healer in the game and thinks he's finally going to make it big. Then he sees the requirements to level up Heal to Lv. 2: 200 points of healing proficiency, gained by using it on wounds. It also comes with a cross-dressing and frailty debuff.

To stay alive, Liu Suyue can only play it safe. But he discovers that the monsters in the instances have performance targets too. The number of deaths and injuries are both crucial to a monster's promotion.

Monsters need to injure people to level up, and he needs to heal wounds to level up.

Liu Suyue: Why don't we team up and rack up some performance points?

Before long, players discover that a healer has appeared in the game, and they all try to recruit him as a partner. Liu Suyue is easygoing and has powerful healing skills. As long as his teammates prepare the necessary medical supplies, he'll heal their wounds for free.

The group clears instances faster and their odds of survival improve. Apart from getting injured a little more often, there are practically no downsides. Liu Suyue's reputation soars, and players nickname him the Living Bodhisattva.

Liu Suyue is having the time of his life, never imagining that he'll overdo it with the performance points and attract the attention of the game's slumbering Lord God.

His underlings turn into traitors, the game's death rate plummets, and players even figure out how to use instances to build their own reputations.

Lord God: ...If I don't do something, the game is going to shut down.

Liu Suyue then notices that the bosses are paying more and more attention to him. The vampire count in the castle, the mysterious patient in the abandoned hospital... More and more bosses awaken, hoping to drag him into darkness.

They try coercion, playing the victim, and even inventing tragic backstories for themselves. Some will even use their charms to keep him from leaving.

Liu Suyue: ...Romance can be down-to-earth, but it can't come from the underworld. Take off your mask when you talk to me, or this can only be a brief fling.

When monsters and players learn that their good friend is in mortal danger, they all cry out in their hearts, No! They can't live without their good friend.

One side keeps holding back while the other works hard to save him. The two sides cooperate seamlessly, until one day they discover each other.

Liu Suyue: His Living Bodhisattva image is crumbling...
