The highly anticipated full-dive game Realm of Mountains and Seas is about to begin its spectacular closed beta.
Zhou Yi is the game's designer. After using his sharp tongue to escape a blind date, he was in a good mood and agreed to help out as a game GM during the beta.
The game is full of fierce competition and lively battles for loot, but none of that has anything to do with him. He just wants to take it easy while posing as a GM.
Who could have guessed that on the first day, players would mistake his character, Xiao Jiujiu, for a map boss?
Zhou Yi: "You weaklings, I'm the GM."
"What kind of GM would reveal their identity? Who do you think you're fooling?"
"Holy crap, did he just call us weaklings?"
"Get him! Let's see what good stuff he'll drop!"
With no choice, Zhou Yi set his health to maximum, lay down on the ground, and idly checked his phone for the blind date his mom had just sent him, all while taking a beating.
Being a GM had been pretty laid-back, but the players seemed to have gotten seriously riled up by him. Every day, they were furious and determined to chop him to pieces.
One day, a masked assassin dressed in black stood in front of him and declared, "This fox spirit is under my protection."
Zhou Yi: Who's this guy? He's got some nerve, protecting a GM?
After that, the brash assassin was knocked flat again and again. In the end, Zhou Yi couldn't bear to watch anymore. He patted the assassin on the shoulder and said, "You've protected me well. Don't do it again next time."
The game became a huge hit, and the company invited its spokesperson to visit. As everyone watched, the spokesperson walked up to Zhou Yi with an exceptionally handsome face and a radiant smile. "I'm here to find my darling wife..."
The whole place fell silent. Zhou Yi's mouth twitched. The famous spokesperson was the blind date he'd rejected before. Worse still, his pathetic online-game boyfriend called him the same thing...

Thanks to an advertising deal, celebrity Lan Yue got access to the closed beta of Realm of Mountains and Seas. From then on, there was a black-clad assassin in the game.
That blind date, Zhou Yi, had been so brazen the last time they'd met that he'd left Lan Yue with no face to save. Lan Yue wanted to see what made this fox spirit so arrogant.
But when he learned Zhou Yi's mother was arranging another blind date for him, he finally couldn't sit still.

1. Some game companies make their GMs (game masters) NPCs. NPCs in a full-dive game can naturally run, jump, and team up with players~
2. The setting is fictional, with some original additions.
3. Happy ending.
