Becoming the Luckiest Player in an Infinite Escape Game

Finished! Here are the world popularity rankings: 6 > 3 > 2 > 5 > 4 > 1. (Angels who don't like weak, silly characters are welcome to skip this.)

Gu Ru'nan has always been lucky. Even when his mother got a terminal illness, he was fortunate enough to find a chance to get her treated.

System: Enter the Infinite Horror livestream game and earn enough points to save your mother's life.

As a newcomer, Gu Ru'nan enters the game in fear and trembling. Nobody has faith in him, not even himself. The others are martial arts instructors or have special skills.

He's the weakest of them all, an ordinary person who's even terribly afraid of ghosts. Every viewer thinks the System must have grabbed him by mistake and that he'll be the first cannon fodder to die horribly.

But he ends up with the highest clearance score in history, and even gets an item in the beginner level.

"Tsk, he's really lucky. But in a horror livestream full of evil ghosts and monsters, luck is the most useless thing of all. He might survive the easy beginner level, but he'll definitely die in the next instance. This place was never meant for ordinary humans." That's what most viewers believe.

Only later do people learn that no matter what skills or trump cards you have, nothing can beat luck!

Evil ghosts bow their heads, and gods submit.

The apocalypse arrives, bringing devastating floods, mega-earthquakes, the worst drought in history, and more...

A cold voice abruptly rings out over the broadcast: [The game beta has malfunctioned. It is now connected to the real world.]

Caught off guard, people struggle to survive in the safe zones they've been granted, and have no choice but to venture out in search of supplies.

When more than half the world's population has died, the broadcast announces again: [Apocalypse livestream mode loading...]

The livestream lobby is shrouded in gloom. Natural disasters can kill anyone at any moment, but one bizarre room quickly shoots to the top of the charts:

A striking young man wades through a flood and precisely scoops up something slippery. "Hm? A little loach with a broken tail."

Crossing the drought-stricken land: "Hm? A chick with a broken wing."

What's on the menu today? Chicken and mushroom stew, and braised loach.

Yan Xiu heats the oil. When he turns around, one is foaming at the mouth and the other is pretending to be sick.

Never mind. I'll fatten them up before eating them.

Later, he picks up a moth, a kitten, a little fish...

One disabled little creature after another deliberately gets in Yan Xiu's way, and his safe zone soon turns into a tiny animal sanctuary.

For some reason, he receives more and more tips, his kitchen fills up with supplies, and he survives every disaster.

Meanwhile, in the livestream:

[Am I blind, or stupid? The streamer called a dragon a loach?? And a phoenix a chick?]

[He's raising a bunch of disaster beasts at home. Does he have a death wish?]

[Did he just feed them pig feed...?]

Yan Xiu suffers from a chronic illness that never gets better. Once, he helplessly transmigrated into a city-building game.

In the game, he cleared floodwaters, put out forest fires, and rebuilt earthquake-stricken areas... without knowing that the ferocious beasts in their true forms had marked him.

After reaching the maximum level, he returned to reality and discovered that his illness was cured, but the world had become post-apocalyptic.

Fine. He's familiar with city building.

A drifting glacier blocks his front door. Yan Xiu doesn't panic in the slightest. He chops off a big chunk and takes it inside.

Amazing. A free water supply.

Comments: [Everyone, the streamer is too ruthless. He's boiling You Ran's true form for water...]

That night, the icy water in the pot transforms into a seductive man's form. He walks over to Yan Xiu's bed and gazes down at him.

A drop of water lands on Yan Xiu's forehead, chilling him awake. He stares in shock. "You came over too?!"

The man curls his lips into a smile. "Of all the people who abandoned their husband and ran off, you slept the soundest."

Theme: The protagonist sets out to save his mother. Though timid and ordinary, he is fearless. Heaven protects the kind and the righteous!
