I Just Want to Be a Casual Player [Full Dive]

Up next: Infinite Game Tester is now underway! Blurb: In 2098, a full-dive online game called Apocalypse opened its beta to the public. As a professional gamer, Tong Jiayue had heard that, besides the usual monster-slaying and leveling, Apocalypse offered all kinds of gameplay, including city-building, farming, raising companions, and PvP. She decided to enter the game and become an utterly ordinary lifestyle player. Beginner village quest: Brew me a jug of Shaodao liquor, and I'll reward you with a mysterious manual. Barefoot traveling physician: I'm missing an ingredient. Find it for me, and I'll give you a one-of-a-kind prescription. Player: I need a set of gear. Make it for me, and money is no object. Shameless NPC: If you want to trade with me for a high-level battle pet, you'll need a seven-color pet token, plus a great deal of time and money... Please add my upcoming novel Infinite Game Tester to your reading list! Synopsis: Li Ran was diagnosed with cancer at a young age. She had nothing left to live for, and just as she fell into despair, she suddenly received an Infinite Game Tester System. "Ding! Congratulations, player 'Li Ran,' on qualifying to become an Infinite Game Tester. You will travel through various otherworldly game worlds alongside ten thousand players who are also terminally ill. Complete ten missions and survive until only the final one thousand remain to receive the ultimate reward: a new life!" "First otherworldly game world: City of Doom. Mission: Escort Dr. A to the research institute in the capital. Note: If Dr. A dies, the mission will fail immediately, and you will be transported to the next otherworldly world." "Second otherworldly game world: Hide-and-Seek. Mission: Players will turn into different people or objects. Evade the seeker three times to leave the game." "Third otherworldly game world: Live-Action Shooting Game. Mission: Survive until only four players remain and save one teammate." "Fourth otherworldly game world: Island Terror. Mission: Catch the murderer on the island within the time limit and build a boat to leave the game. Note: The murderer will also kill the test players. Please protect yourselves." "Friendly reminder: Players have three chances to revive in each game world. If you die more than three times in the game worlds, you will lose your testing qualification and be unable to receive the ultimate reward. Please treasure this hard-won opportunity." Faced with an outrageous System and a game world she was about to enter, Li Ran gritted her teeth and confronted one crisis after another in order to survive. Along the way, she recruited equally capable teammates and fought to be among the final one thousand survivors. Please add my upcoming danmei novel, Farming and Raising a Child in the Apocalypse, to your reading list! Blurb: In 2098, people would never forget that year. Massive tsunamis, earthquakes, torrential rains, hailstorms, blizzards, and other natural disasters struck the Earth one after another. Nearly six billion people around the world perished, more than half of humanity. But that wasn't the end. Just as the survivors thought the disasters were over, a meteor shower fell from the sky, bringing an unknown virus. The dead came back to life as walking corpses, constantly devouring the flesh of the living. The sight made one's blood run cold. Those who were bitten also turned into walking corpses, crazily devouring every living thing with blood and flesh. The world fell into chaos. Faced with a surging tide of zombies spreading the virus, humanity, already battered by one disaster after another, could no longer fight back and could only flee and hide. When these disasters began, Jiang Yihe was a frail student who had just turned eighteen and was still in his final year of high school. After his parents and friends died, and he experienced the cruelty and darkness of human nature amid the approaching apocalypse, he sold himself to keep his starving younger sister alive, receiving a bag of rice in exchange. But his sister disappeared. Not long afterward, he discovered that he was pregnant. In a panic, he tried everything to end the pregnancy, but nothing worked. To survive, he returned to the small coastal city where he had grown up, farming and scavenging supplies to raise the child while searching for his sister. The story begins when the child is five. Jiang Yihe discovers that his little girl has special abilities: she can control all kinds of plants and mutated animals and make them do her bidding. And when a zombie bites him, her blood can cure the virus and keep him from turning into one. So while he diligently tends the fields, his little girl directs a pack of mutated animals, including dogs, cats, and baboons, to help with the farm work. She can even make crops sprout and grow, and the harvest is fantastic. Jiang Yihe thinks that if he dies one day, his daughter will be able to get by just fine with those two abilities. Then one day, his daughter brings a man home and says to him with an adorably innocent expression, "Daddy, I found a living person. I'll put him to work on the farm for you. I'm so great, right?" "Great... really great..." When Jiang Yihe gets a good look at the man's face, he feels as if the sky has fallen! Oh no! Why does this man's face look so familiar? Theme: Games are more than just games. They may be a source of comfort to the soul.
