He Was a God During the Game's Beta Test [Infinite]

[Every perfect game goes through countless rounds of closed beta testing. Before you spend your life, have you really found a save point?] Wu Sheng opens his eyes in an eerie white fog and finds a way out amid the endlessly repeated, mechanical electronic voice. “Hi, I'm Wu Sheng. Nine deaths, no escape.” “As you can see, I'm the feeble, innocent, timid, crybaby good-for-nothing with terrible base stats that the rumors describe.” But as soon as he finishes speaking, he ties up his shoulder-length hair and smiles as he slaughters his way through this bizarre game. “An evaluation from the beta testers?” His thin lips part. “My evaluation is: nothing worth mentioning. Scrap it and start over.” When the dust settles, the survivors see an electronic screen high above them: [Large-Scale Game Instance: The Iron Tower Still Stands Clear rate: 0.001% Cleared by: Wu Sheng] - Vignette 1: The game has been very unsettled lately. A boy who always looks compassionate and smiles like a Buddha casually grabs the instance boss by the head and crushes it with one hand, in a stunning display of violence as art. Reporter: “What is your goal?” Wu Sheng: “To capture my lover and lock him away somewhere no one will ever find.” Then tie up his hands and feet and make him beg for mercy every day. - Vignette 2: A certain mermaid instance The “innocent” NPC, who always wears a secret identity and keeps collecting merch of his beloved, sidles up to him again, swishing his tail in the candlelight in an especially endearing way. Wu Sheng: This guy who keeps coming over to cozy up to me in different instances… Why does he look so much like my ex? Does he really think he's hiding it well? But I really want to take a bite of the tip of his tail… Found you. Capture him, tie him up, hide him away. A beautiful madman with a grudge and a rebellious streak (shou) × a cunning, devoted method actor who never gets into character (gong) Reading guide: 1. Neither the gong nor the shou is quite right in the head. 2. The characters' values don't represent the author's. 3. A typical game release schedule: initial version → closed beta with wiped saves → multiple beta tests for selected accounts → open beta across all platforms with persistent saves → official release. 4. The gong and shou are both pure in body and heart, and their feelings for each other are intense. Blurb for Earth Online Maintenance in Progress [Infinite] Revised and finalized on 2024.2.2, screenshot posted on Weibo. Please don't steal the concept.

Dear players, the Earth Online System is now live!] [Earth Online reminds you: Please don't waste too much time on NPCs, or you may affect your own mood.

Enjoy the game.] - Wen Han actually discovered this world's bugs when he was a child. Scenery pasted together incorrectly, city buildings copied out of place, and huge numbers of NPC humans who looked almost exactly alike, for example. He'd really like to see whether a shot would make code or flesh and blood explode. But his boyfriend is exasperated by his lack of sense and makes him agree to three rules First: If you bump into someone, don't say, “I'll kill you.” Say, “I'm sorry.” Second: No prohibited items or restricted firearms. Third: Understand that burying a baby in the ground won't make another baby grow. Bo Ze'an: “Be good, okay? Got it?” Wen Han blinks his starry eyes and pretends to be obedient. “Mm-hmm!” After [Earth Online] descends, a memory-loading error makes Wen Han forget his boyfriend. Faced with countless [biological fusion error bugs], he chops off the boss's head with one slash. His voice is gentle and scornful. “Such a clumsy performance, riddled with flaws.” “I've spent almost twenty years observing humans, imitating them, learning from them, trying to look a little more normal… Poor thing, you're not even as convincing as I am.” Blood stains his smiling eyes. In the Asia server, Wen Han sets a record for the highest points earned in a single kill in his very first battle. Wen Han, standing on the ruins: “Who the hell can stop me now!” Bo Ze'an, rushing over with a megaphone: “Get down here!” - For Bo Ze'an, calming Wen Han also takes a regular three-step process First: Remember to hug him before bed. Second: When you get home, smooth his hair and give him a kiss. Third: Search the little guy at regular intervals. Take away the sharp metal shards, pieces of broken glass, and powerful homemade bombs he's hidden. Then gently reassure him and tell him how much you love him. Beautiful madman vs. gentle brute Thinks everyone looks like a dog / looks at every dog with affection #Don't bully Wen Han just because he's unwell# #Though he is pretty easy to bully# Theme: Overcome adversity!
