On the first day of university, Yan Qi nearly missed his 8 a.m. class. He flung open his dorm room door in a rush, only to step straight into the mathematics building.
Students clutching textbooks and shuffling like the living dead wandered through corridors shrouded in black fog, with blood smeared across the walls. Suddenly, the speakers crackled with a mechanical voice:
Welcome to the first unit assessment for Mathematical Analysis. Players have three hours remaining to survive. Please report to the examination room on the third floor and present your admission ticket to the proctor.
With a calm expression, Yan Qi grabbed a fire extinguisher and went around killing every ghost he encountered. He could have passed by solving a simple limit problem, but instead he insisted on taking them on headfirst. At last, covered in bloody scratches, he knocked on the door of the third-floor examination room. A sultry woman in a red dress, with long, wavy hair, reached out to him with her scarlet-painted fingernails.
Following the principle of respecting women, he just barely managed to stop himself from swinging the fire extinguisher at her. Then he noticed the Adam's apple on her slender neck.
Yan Qi: ...Does this unlucky NPC have some kind of bug?
After that, every time Yan Qi stepped through a door, pushed open a window, or opened a drawer, he might get dragged into that puzzle-solving survival game. And he would always run into the same NPC, who appeared in different roles but looked at him with increasingly fervent, unrestrained desire.
1. Violent, cold beauty player bottom x crazy, wolfish NPC top
- "Violent" and "cold" mainly mean that he picks up a hammer and beats ghosts without batting an eye, and stays expressionless even when he's badly injured and fragile.
2. Their identities in the real world, possibly revealed much later: teenage math prodigy x AI who is the only one to possess a human body and pass the Turing test
- The top has a biological body, but his consciousness can also enter all sorts of other machines (and people)... Ahem.
3. The top and bottom have a history together, but neither remembers it at the beginning.
Theme: Study hard and improve every day.
