The main story is complete. Bonus chapters are ongoing~
At 2:35 p.m. on September 2, the students of Class 3, Grade 11, at Chunfeng High School entered standby mode.
Note: Experts explain that standby is a state in which humans cannot move, think, or feel, frozen in that moment. They do not respond to external touch and appear to be in hibernation, so the term standby is being used for now.
Thirteen years passed.
The classmates from Class 3, Grade 11, were now well into their thirties.
The outside world had gone from intense scrutiny to silence.
Some of the grieving parents had children again. Those children had grown to twelve, nearing the high school entrance exam.
The students of Class 3, Grade 11 remained frozen in that classroom, like insects in amber, preserved in their seventeen-year-old forms and the motions they'd been making at that instant.
On September 2 of that year, cicadas sang once more in the summer heat.
Shen Duo, the bottom-ranked student of Class 3, came out of standby mode.
He walked out of the classroom, leaned over the railing, and greeted the security guard downstairs.
"Sir, why's your hair all white?"
The guard, who had aged thirteen years, turned around and spat out the water in his mouth. "Pfft!"
The media, experts, the students' parents, the school... everyone pressed Shen Duo to explain where he'd been for the past thirteen years.
"I was playing a game. I beat it, so now I can move again, for the time being."
Nobody believed him. How could a [game] trap people for over a decade?
Until global standby really did arrive.
A word of warning: Slow burn, coming-of-age ensemble cast.
A chaotic mix of games, infinite worlds, leveling up, and supernatural powers. It's an original fictional setting with lots of author-created details. The game includes a competition system, inspired by the PvP tabletop role-playing format of infinite-flow stories.
One more warning:
The protagonist really is a high school student, and he's alive. He also has a huge golden finger, and his chuunibyou phases are a regular occurrence.
A lighthearted comedy about everyday life. If you like it, you'll know by the end of the free chapters. If you don't, then we just weren't meant to be, and there's no need for us to try to get used to each other.
Butterfly is the first arc. Looking back at it now, I can see some problems. But it's part of the free chapters, so please go easy on it.
Next book: A Garbage Bag's Guide to Saving the World
The world is sick.
Iron-red rust rain falls from the sky. Species are going extinct one after another, and humans are contracting red rust disease, turning their skin, eyes, and hair red. People are divided into ranks based on color.
Su Liao transmigrates to an offshore research facility and becomes an experimental subject, mutated by plastic and rust rain.
He is forced to acquire numerous traits: skin so noble and pale it outshines the Bleached (white plastic bag), a tendency to talk trash when he's had too much to drink, and a love of putting on airs.
Su Liao: I don't want to be a poser.
AI: What's wrong with a garbage bag putting on airs?
Su Liao: .

After the base rejects him as "non-recyclable waste," Su Liao spends three days slacking in the ruins.
AI: You can save the world by taking the roundabout route.
"There's old-world resources beneath the rust layer, but few people can pinpoint them accurately."
Su, who used to do CT scans on railroad tracks in his previous life: Isn't this my old line of work?
After attending school in the slums for a few days, Su Liao attracts people's attention.
"How can you tell what's underneath just by knocking once?"
"How do you know this rust zone is safe?"
"Are your eyes better than the base's ultrasound equipment?"
"Put Su Liao in charge! Do you even understand the value of a zero-accident record?"
AI: They still don't know you're not afraid of rust rain.
AI: They also don't know you can absorb rust.
Su Liao pinches the bag.
AI: You're secretly pleased again, aren't you?
AI: Stop putting on an act.

Qu Xiantong is the first human friend he's made, and Su Liao treasures him.
Qu Xiantong spreads him out on the bed. Su Liao feels it's sacred. This is what a garbage bag is meant for, so he treats it with solemnity. Until Qu Xiantong tosses something full of tadpoles into the garbage bag. Exhausted and furious, Su Liao cries, "Why didn't you just throw it inside me?"
Qu Xiantong pauses. "Are you sure?"
Su Liao regrets it immensely.
A special constitution and a huge golden finger: a plastic-bag bottom who can take anything x An unconventional, degenerate scion of the human elite, with a filthy bloodline and the manners of an elegant villain
*An apocalyptic wasteland fairy tale
Theme: Raise the song of resistance
Come on, madam, I've been waiting for you (ง •̀_•́)ง Come on
Ah... So everything just happened on the earth [loading][loading][loading] Oh my god, the plot can still be followed, but I can no longer understand the world constructed by the teacher [covering face and laughing]😭
Wait, let me think about it. First, let's assume a timeline A in which the earth falls into an apocalyptic state in the future. Professor Toth invented digital life. Humanity began to enter the era of digital life. Then humans established large-scale AIs in five places on the earth. They were named after the four divine envoys. The name, the biggest one is the Butterfly Mother. The Butterfly Mother created the God of Silence and the White Pearl. The God of Silence searched the universe for intelligent life forms suitable for his parasitism, and then there was the "game"... I can't figure it out... Is the God of Silence a big mousse, or the sum of all mousses? In the previous chapters, the four divine envoys were slowly born after the God of Silence arrived on Earth. What about before? The earth is not the first planet to be enveloped by the game. When the previous planets entered the game, it was obvious that the angels had always existed. When were the four angels born? Moreover, now Bai Mingzhu is of the same species as the God of Silence. The God of Silence has lived for so long, so we can deduce the lifespan of Bai Mingzhu, and Shen Duo is only a human being... Even if he awakens, he is still only a human being for now... Is there still lifespan theory?? 😭 Or will it be a digital life in the future, a divine connection? 🥺
I'm like this. I used to wonder why some players have the habits of Earthlings. [Afraid] It turns out it's all foreshadowing.
I forgot about my feelings when I saw it and became so cruel 😚😚
