Yan Qi is a notorious god-level NPC in an unlimited-flow world.
He spends all year slacking off in instances and making life difficult for players. He lives by the principle of making sure his victims never get back up, earning first place on the players' list of NPCs they least want to face.
After swindling 30 million points from the number-one player and retiring, he returns to the real world with his underlings.
The ghosts and monsters, long bullied by players, assume their boss is going to wreak havoc in the real world. Instead, Yan Qi matter-of-factly signs a contract with a nearly bankrupt amusement park and takes over a haunted house on the verge of closing.
Ghosts and monsters: ???
Only later do they learn that their boss isn't here to save them. He's here to make them work 996.
.
A haunted house has recently become popular in Jiangzhou City.
Its owner is mysterious and handsome, the ghost NPCs are terrifyingly lifelike, and visitors can choose from a variety of settings. Many players say that going inside feels like their souls have traveled to another world.
The haunted house grows more and more famous, even attracting the number-one player who was swindled out of 30 million.
Yu Renshu wipes his knife clean and smiles at Yan Qi: "You tricked me out of those points, and this is what you used them for?"
Yan Qi: "..."
P.S.:
1. A feel-good, everyday-life story. The protagonist is extremely cool.
2. The setting is fictional, and many details are deliberately vague. Please don't compare it to real life.

A dense fog descends, and people across the world awaken.
Countless people experience ancestral bloodline awakenings, evolving into amphibians and learning useful household skills like changing a lightbulb with their tongues. Chu Yu, meanwhile, evolves into a helpless... Evil God.
Chu Yu: I don't seem to fit in with everyone else.
System: You are the embodiment of evil, the source of chaos, the one who devours everything...
Chu Yu, shocked: I didn't know I was so bad.
He immediately picks up a knife and holds it to his own neck.
The System is horrified: But you're weak!
Chu Yu uses the knife to peel an apple for himself.
He asks: Will becoming an Evil God help me improve myself?
The System is silent for a moment: It can make money.
Chu Yu: What contribution can becoming an Evil God make to society?
System: It can make money.
Chu Yu: Becoming an Evil God... Fine, I guess it does make money.
Seeing that Chu Yu is tempted, the System slowly updates his tasks.
Task One: Cut off the heads of mutant twins. Reward: 10 yuan.
Task Two: Massage a rabid hyena. Two hours' pay: 30 yuan.
Chu Yu: ???
Has the value of labor really fallen this far?
Theme: Nothing can be built without breaking the old, and nothing can be gained without giving something up.
