Your Delivery Rider Is Fighting a Monster

Chen Jue is a dedicated food delivery rider. Every day, he is either out making deliveries or on his way to pick up an order. He is never late, never spills or loses anything, and rides through wind and rain. To this day, his rider rating remains a perfect five stars. One day, he was suddenly assigned an order to deliver blood bags to the [Vampire Lair]. The route was long and perilous. But he couldn't refuse! He couldn't lose his five-star rating! Mei X Delivery, your order will arrive! Looks like he'll have to awaken some "memories from a past life"! . Fifty-one years ago, Chen Jue was chosen to become a streamer for an infinite-flow livestream system. For fifty whole years, he fought his way through every instance, teetered on the brink of death, and climbed to the top of the rankings, both for combat strength and for livestream popularity. Fifty years later, on the day he finally earned enough points to retire, Chen Jue took off the customer-service smile and playful persona he wore for his viewers, waved goodbye, and left without a backward glance to settle down in a world with zero magic power. Not wanting to think anymore, he chose food delivery as his new career. His livestream viewers wailed in protest. Retirement was one thing, but couldn't he at least play an instance for them every now and then? A year later, just as viewers across all the planes had grown used to the former strongest streamer's channel showing nothing but his daily delivery routine, the handful of loyal fans still watching suddenly saw Chen Jue accept a delivery order to the [Vampire Lair]. The [Vampire Lair] was a C-rank instance surrounded by the Piranha Swamp and the Specter Forest, located in a Western fantasy plane. The same plane also contained many mid- and high-level instances, including the B-rank [Dragon Mountain] and the A-rank [The Quiet Little Village of Heroes]. The entire plane was infamous for its brutal environments and high spawn rates, with no way to skip the hard parts. It had driven countless new and veteran players to the brink of madness. But to Chen Jue, who had spent fifty years running instances, the route from the plane's entrance, across the Piranha Swamp and the Specter Forest, and finally to the Vampire Lair was probably more familiar than the way home. The fans could hardly believe their eyes, but they didn't dare hope for too much... After all, Chen Jue clearly had no desire to return to the world of infinite-flow instances. But! They never imagined that his dedication to getting five-star reviews would overcome his determination to retire and live in seclusion! The fans immediately spread the news. Across countless planes, the same words rang out: That man is back! . "You have received a new order. A customer from [Wizard Alley] has ordered a [Normal Human's Tears]." The boss of the neighboring instance, [The Haunted House], was busy scaring a group of new players when someone suddenly kicked in the old antique door. It was about to fly into a rage. How dare some reckless extra human barge in! Chen Jue hurriedly smacked the boss flat. "Sorry, your fireplace is a shortcut. I'm in a hurry and on an important delivery. Mind if I pass through?" The chat burst into laughter. "Kid, do you know who beat the last boss of [The Haunted House] until it lost all its power and turned into a low-level sprite?" "You have received a new order. A customer from [Yucheng No. 1 High School] has ordered a [Sketching Set]." The players were suffering through the S-rank instance [Seven Tales of Terror: Escape from Yucheng No. 1 High School] when they suddenly saw a stranger in a delivery uniform ride in on an electric scooter. The players: "??? Is this right?" The chat: "Oh, Yucheng No. 1 High School. Yep, back home again. It might be a little difficult for anyone else, but Chen Jue got seven hidden endings in this instance, didn't he? He still holds the speedrun record. Getting in and out of Yucheng No. 1 High School is probably easier for him than delivering downtown during rush hour, right?" . In one sentence: No mind capable of thought, only the will to deliver food! Note: This line is adapted from the game Hollow Knight: "No mind to think. No will to break..." The rest escapes me. Theme: The simple, ordinary life is what matters.
