After Pretending to Be Weak, I Became Famous in Endless Livestreams

[I had surgery in September and hope to return in October. Changing the cover to build anticipation +>0<..]

The first strange thing was that Zhou Xuan discovered he could "smell" danger.

A subway train about to go out of control, the vengeful ghost of a hanged man, the wail of a spirit-summoning bell... Every sign of danger became a scent that surrounded Zhou Xuan. The more deadly it was, the stronger it smelled.

Then the boss from a horror game appeared right before Zhou Xuan's eyes, about to devour him alive.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xuan wrinkled his nose and said calmly:

"...You smell pretty good. Too bad you're so weak."

The boss froze. "?"

The next second, Zhou Xuan struck, and the boss vanished into dust.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and go back to sleep, the System's notification sounded:

[Abnormal player detected! Warning: unauthorized cheat in use!]

[Determining cheat status...]

Zhou Xuan: ??? Come on. I did this all by hand.

[Cheat confirmed!]

Later, in the Infinite Live-Streaming Room, a laid-back streamer labeled "useless beauty" went viral.

Zhou Xuan used the weakest gear to clear the hardest dungeons, and would never lift a finger if he could get by without it.

While everyone else went all out to grab the audience's attention, he napped on stream.

While others were scared witless by the bosses, he sat down and gave them a pep talk.

The most baffling part was that sponsors from the Divine Lord's Space lined up to sign him, while a whole host of top players insisted on teaming up with him!

Even Pei Xueqi, the top-tier star who had debuted at the top, was his teammate?!

Other players: "What does the great Pei Xueqi see in this useless Zhou Xuan? His face?"

Viewers: "Xuan fans, watch yourselves!! Don't reach for the moon or try to leech off his fame!!!"

Until everyone watched Zhou Xuan clear an SSS-rank dungeon solo and walk out carrying a vengeful ghost's head.

"Y-You're really a useless pretty-boy streamer?"

Zhou Xuan calmly wiped the blood from his face. Seeing his cheat rating shoot up, he pretended to stumble into Pei Xueqi's arms. "I'm so fragile."

Pei Xueqi: "Quit pretending."

"I'm really not pretending to be weak. I'm genuinely a lazy fish, guaranteed genuine. If it's fake, I'll give you ten times your money back."

Viewers: "...Please stop pretending!!! Give me ten of these max-level experts!!!"

"I kneel before Zhou Xuan!!!"

Please preorder my next Quick Transmigration novel!

The Cannon Fodder Never Meant to Be Everyone's Favorite [Quick Transmigration]. Find it on my works page!

Preview:

Extra! That bastard Gu Qingye has finally transmigrated into one of his own stories as a cannon fodder!

With top-tier looks, second-rate writing, and third-rate character, web novelist Gu Qingye is the nightmare of every Quick Transmigration traveler. Nobody can clear the twisted stories he writes.

In his stories, there are gentle, obsessive mad-doctor types; a bloodthirsty, disabled crown prince who strikes without mercy; an apocalypse sniper who shares a bed with zombies; a future fleet captain who leads aliens in a bombing run on Earth...

Other cannon fodders: Help! Who wrote this story? It's way too twisted!!!

System: (rubbing its hands together) Let's see how Gu Qingye himself completes these cannon-fodder missions.

Little did it know that when faced with the System's endless missions and threats of death, Gu Qingye wouldn't budge... and might even dance on his own grave?!

Gu Qingye: Hilarious. The missions? I'm not doing them.

In the real world, even dogs wouldn't go back. To stay in the world of the book, Gu Qingye did everything he could to fail his missions.

The System told him to bring people together, so he broke up the canon couples.

The System told him to play the lovesick puppy, so he became a scummy shou.

The System told him to build a career, so he became a lazy fish.

Gu Qingye smiled faintly. "Why save the villains? Just give up!"

System: "Host! Congratulations! Mission complete!"

Gu Qingye's smile froze. "?"

Wait, can defying the System really turn you into everyone's favorite?

Theme: Let go of the urge to help others and respect their fate.
