Who Told You to Play Infinite Like That?

When Chu Zhao first entered the world, she joined a shabby little organization with oversized egos and tiny wallets.

The group wasn’t famous, but it talked big, calling itself “the Gods.” All fourteen bosses claimed to be deities, yet they expected Chu Zhao to earn money to support them.

The organization was so shabby and its name so embarrassingly stupid that Chu Zhao couldn’t bring herself to say it. Whenever people asked, she called it the “Psych Ward Association.”

Then one day, the little organization suddenly disappeared without a trace. No one across the star sea could find it.

Chu Zhao was convinced those damned bosses had run off without paying her, dumping her as soon as she was no longer useful. They’d fled with all the money she’d earned, so she issued a wanted notice across the star sea, determined to make them pay.

Then she received an invitation to the [Hunting Grounds]

The [Hunting Grounds], the gods’ playground and the stage for all the worlds.

Chu Zhao, who was already sick of living, gladly joined the game.

Chu Zhao considered herself reserved and low-key, a veteran introvert.

But… the gods all seemed to have gotten her a little bit wrong.

‘Law’: “Chu Zhao is a bloodthirsty monster!”

‘Deceit’: “Chu Zhao is devious and treacherous!”

‘Truth’: “…Chu Zhao’s crimes are too numerous to record!”

Chu Zhao: “They’re getting so worked up! The gods are worked up again!”

Her roommates: “Zhaozhao is the best, Zhaozhao is amazing QVQ”

Later, Chu Zhao’s wanted posters from all across the star sea somehow made their way into the [Hunting Grounds]

The gods saw the six big characters on them: “Psych Ward Association.”

At that moment, every god fell silent.

[What is a scholar? One whose foundation is knowledge and whose will carries them through the universe.]

“Chu Zhao, sinner, hereby pays her respects to the new world.”

My take on an infinite-flow story, with a serious yet goofy protagonist who’s both a troublemaker and a chaos-loving joker.

Xiaer Star is humanity’s first harbor, and its last.

When humanity first left its home planet, they discovered that the stars were impossibly far away. Even Proxima Centauri was a hundred thousand light-years distant.

Resources were so scarce that the disgusting, foul-tasting void bugs were their only resource.

At eighteen, Qin Lian entered a military academy and awakened her talent. She planned to join a hunting team after graduation and make her mark.

But the moment she used her talent, she vanished with a pop, leaving her bewildered classmates and teacher behind.

Holding her student ID and personal AI, Qin Lian appeared, completely baffled, at a talent recruitment event for a demonic sect.

Since the demonic sect accepted anyone, she became its lowest-ranking servant, even receiving the legendary hardest assignment: farming.

What?!

A military academy graduate like me is actually qualified to take on such a noble task?!

On the first day, the servant overseer disdainfully tossed her some coarse grain and cheap wild fruit.

Qin Lian tremblingly bit into a wild fruit, and tears spilled from her eyes.

In all the years she’d been alive, this was the first time she’d eaten anything besides nutrient insect gel.

Demonic sect overseer: ?

Are you okay?

Three days later, Qin Lian returned to her class.

She grabbed her teacher. “Teacher, you’re in big trouble!”

The teacher was thrilled to see her too. The funding that had melted away was safe again. Then he quickly took back his excitement. “W-what trouble?”

As everyone knew, the people of Xiaer Star were experts at making the most of resources.

Later

After seeing Qin Lian’s extreme physical training method, which squeezed every last bit of strength from the body:

Demonic sect members: ?

After seeing Qin Lian’s carpet-bombing, saturation-style resource-gathering method:

Demonic sect members: ?

After seeing Qin Lian use every inch of her prey with particle-level precision:

Demonic sect members: ?

So who’s the demonic sect here?

Qin Lian! Explain yourself!
