Can Cyber NPCs Play the Beautiful, Strong, Tragic Type Too?

After transmigrating into a cyberpunk world for years, Chu Yangshuo has faced life-threatening dangers time and again. He finally gets used to this shitty world and manages to find a stable job, only for the world to suddenly turn into a full-dive game, with the Fourth Calamity descending.

The good news: Chu Yangshuo has an NPC interface that lets him impose certain restrictions on players.

The bad news: To escape the death penalty, he has to become famous among the players.

Chu Yangshuo: “(Censored profanity) (Censored profanity)”

An efficiency-obsessed pragmatist, Chu Yangshuo quickly decides to play a villain, make a quick buck, and get out.

And so...

A mysterious youth appears in Black Obsidian City. Wearing a red cape and a blood-cross mask, he raises a hand to summon a hurricane and lowers his eyes to stop a torrential downpour. He becomes the super-S-class new-player guide everyone talks about, but no one knows who he really is.

Only when he fails to assassinate the city lord and falls from a high tower do the players learn that the youth is a high-ranking member of a vicious, evil organization in the wasteland.

Players: “Okay, but... he’s hot, and he was so nice to us. He must have been forced into it. Waaaah.” (wild speculation)

The new warden of the City of Crime is a combat android. Beneath its skin of flesh and blood lies a precise, icy machine. It governs every matter in the city, large and small, with strict laws, but the overburdened citizens band together to overthrow it and throw it into a garbage dump.

Players: “The world is falling apart, but the kitties are stitching it back together... We found another one of Unit 039’s parts in the dump today. We’re one step closer to putting our baby back together!”

The wasteland world is full of ruins and without hope. An organization with the slogan “Dawn” appears out of nowhere, only to bring endless pain. The players infiltrate the organization and see their first in-game crush at a high-level meeting, the boy from their early days in the game. But he’s an amnesiac clone, and he doesn’t have long to live. He’s about to die in a laboratory.

Players: “A substitute is still a substitute, (Censored profanity), don’t touch him, ”

Later...

Chu Yangshuo stares at the three bars of different lengths on his interface and falls into deep thought.

Wait, fame from my secret identities doesn’t count toward the total?

He glances at the forum. The players are frantically calling out to the developers: Please, give us a revival route

Chu Yangshuo thinks: Maybe I should start a story about saving myself with my own hands?
