In a terrifying dungeon crawling with danger, there is a strange man named Shao Li.
He drags around his sickly body, hawking goods in the dungeon while coughing up blood.
The players curiously lean in for a look.
Good grief, his stall is piled high with things like the [Max Strength] buff, the [See Through the Dungeon's Plot at a Glance] buff, and the [Charm the Boss to Clear the Dungeon with Ease] buff...
Even more incredible, after the gravely ill Shao Li equips the [Max Strength] buff, his face is no longer pale and he stops coughing up blood. He powers through the dungeon, sweeping away every monster in his path, looking so cool it makes people scream.
The players can't resist buying them and go on a wild shopping spree.
But when they equip their buffs and confidently challenge the final boss,
someone kills them with a single slash at the dungeon exit.
One unfortunate player who lost his first life says he vaguely saw the sickly Shao Li.
With his bloodless face and the uniform of the enforcement team that specializes in catching players who use cheats, Shao Li coughs up blood as he decisively swings his scythe, sending the players back to their spawn point. He then lectures them earnestly: "Play fair. Say no to cheating."
Players: "Aren't these the cheats you sold us?!"
Shao Li: "Ever heard of a sting operation?"
--
But every time Shao Li runs a sting operation, Zhong Yan strolls past his stall with complete indifference.
One day, Shao Li finally can't help asking Zhong Yan, "If you're going to stand around watching the show, shouldn't you pay a venue fee?"
To his surprise, Zhong Yan points at Shao Li and says, "Then I suppose I'll reluctantly buy this [Heartless] buff."
Shao Li: "??? This one's not for sale!"
