Chu Tang transmigrated into a game. The rules said that whoever reached max level first would receive an item.
From the start of the game, Chu Tang's name was far ahead of everyone else's, but even when she was about to reach max level, nobody had seen her.
The game administrator couldn't sit still. Using a tracking chip, they finally found Chu Tang wandering around the newbie village.
Administrator: Why are you still wandering around the newbie village?
Chu Tang replied honestly: I'm bad with directions.
Administrator: ...Then what about the guide sprite assigned in the newbie village, the one with the green name?
Oh, that NPC was there to give directions? Chu Tang suddenly understood and gestured toward the dense mass of NPC models behind her.
Chu Tang: I was wondering why this green-name monster gave so much experience.
Administrator: ...How can you beat up game NPCs?
Chu Tang, now max level: Just tell me, did I reach max level or not?

Halfway through the game, the teammate she'd been assigned by lottery finally logged on.
Chu Tang knocked the head off the monster in front of her with a staff, then found a moment to talk to her teammate: I'm grinding a boss. I'll be out in a bit. What game are you in? I'll meet up with you right away.
Her teammate, Zhou Lesheng, dressed in ancient-style clothing, fell silent for a moment. ...Palace intrigue.
Chu Tang: ...?

A stranger suddenly barged into an amusement arcade that was about to be placed in containment. Zhou Lesheng, the containment center's only healing support, was ordered to go rescue them. Unfortunately, just as he appeared disguised as a guide NPC, he was run through on the spot.
As the girl delightedly exclaimed, "Experience +2333," he kept respawning, only to be run through again and again...
The girl finally reached max level and took her pass to the next game. With no other choice, he took a pass too and pretended to be the teammate she didn't have.
As they went through game after game, he rode astride a dragon's neck while the girl in front of him flew along with her princess dress billowing in the wind.
He helped his teammate hold down her skirt, and vaguely remembered that when he first came here, he had been on a rescue mission... right?
