Zuo Qing is accidentally killed when an alien spacecraft crashes into her.
In the Interstellar Federation, murdering an intelligent life-form is a serious crime. Earth may be a low-level planet in a remote jurisdiction, but the Federation's central AI won't let the aliens off the hook because of that.
To evade legal responsibility, the aliens turn Zuo Qing into an AI.
Then they toss her into an AI database as casually as if she were garbage.
She is put in charge of running a popular-in-name-only full-dive game with a muddled main storyline and relentless pay-to-win schemes.
If the game shuts down, she'll be reset and become a true AI.
The game map is cobbled together from mismatched models, with wildly clashing styles.
All kinds of bizarre events are designed to squeeze money out of players.
The brain-dead NPCs keep making baffling remarks, and none of their characters have any charm.
If the game shuts down, the game AI responsible for running it will also be destroyed.
To stay alive, Zuo Luan has to pull out every trick in the book.
The map looks bad? No problem!
How about a classical fantasy map of immortal cultivation, with mist-shrouded peaks and waterfalls plunging through deep ravines?
The characters are one-note and have no charm?
Whether you like aloof and restrained, mature and dependable, charming and dashing, sinister and cunning, or affectionate and languid, we've got them all.
The most garbage game in the galaxy is getting a reboot, and it's been renamed "Free and Easy Journey."
Netizens think it's the developers' last attempt to fleece them.
They declare: "That trash, Free and Easy Journey? Not even a dog would play it."
But when the game finally launches...
The breathtaking map feels like a heavenly realm.
The NPCs are all so delightful to be around.
Netizens exclaim: "Am I even worthy of playing this game?!"
