Mu Qiu has recently become obsessed with a horror game called Scarlet Descent. After a year of testing, Scarlet Descent has ended its closed beta and opened its public beta.
Her old closed-beta account still works.
Only her progress in the dungeons has been reset, so she has to start over.
Mu Qiu enters the tutorial dungeon. As always, the game is brutally difficult, but that's no problem. Mu, “Legally Cheating,” Qiu is playing the “max-level veteran returns to the starter village” scenario this time.
When she runs into dungeon monsters and NPCs,
she hefts the enchanted rocket launcher she just cobbled together and smiles politely.
“Hello. This is a robbery.”
“???”
After stripping the dungeon of its loot, messing with the dungeon boss, and completing the dungeon objective, a countdown to exit appears in the upper-right corner of the screen.
Mu Qiu looks down at the dungeon boss, who is shouting, “Don't look down on a poor man in middle age,” and vowing revenge. She hefts her rocket launcher, her smile growing more and more wicked…
“BOOM!!!”
It explodes.
One second before the countdown hits zero, the dungeon explodes!
That night, a piece of breaking news dominates the trending searches:
#Explosion at abandoned mountain village, unlucky hiker robbed after wandering in#
Watching the trending video, she sees a familiar little mountain and the “dungeon NPCs” crying as they describe the robber's evil deeds.
Mu Qiu, clutching her keyboard and assembling a rocket launcher with one hand: “???”
