The Underworld is recruiting a suicide squad. Players, choose your starting identity.
A: Cultivator
B: Awakened
C: A secure job with free food and lodging
D: Esper
Chi Ye: "A. I am a cultivator."
System: "When choosing between three short lines and one long one, pick the long one. Congratulations, you've chosen a secure job with free food and lodging: prisoner."
Chi Ye: "?"
No one expected Chi Ye to rise from the lowest-level player all the way to the upper ranks of the Underworld government's administration, gaining wealth and power, while the other players were still struggling to survive.
System: [A special player has entered the instance. Inspector Lu Mingchuan, please remove Chi Ye.]
Chi Ye: "There's food and drink here, and it's fun. Why would I leave?"
Lu Mingchuan, an inspector with the Judicial Affairs Bureau, repeatedly helped Chi Ye cheat and break the rules. He never learned his lesson.
Lu Mingchuan: "My wife is frail and can't take care of himself. He needs special treatment."
Chi Ye: "Right... I'm a sickly weakling."
Yet this sickly weakling was endlessly inventive in his rule-breaking. He had a top-grade lightning spirit root, and every time he incorporated a haunted region, a massive explosion followed.
1: A carousel has 24 horses, each with 4 legs. How many legs are there in total?
A: 96
B: 95
The other players: "A."
Chi Ye removes one leg from a carousel horse. "B."
Instance: "Congratulations, Chi Ye, your answer is correct. You win an admission ticket."
The other players: "?"
2: Assigned to the lowest-class carriage, your task is to scrub the bodies of the VIP passengers in the SVIP carriage.
A: Do as you're told
B: Refuse and be punished
Chi Ye kicks a VIP into the bath. "Scrub me, damn it."
VIP: "Scrub your mother!"
A brutal beating ensues.
"Do you want a salt scrub or a milk scrub?"
3: One of the rules says you must not enter the school gate with your left foot. Should you tell the army group controlling you?
A: Tell them
B: Keep quiet
Chi Ye chooses to report false information: "You're not allowed to enter the school gate with your right foot first."
The army group's vanguard enters left foot first, then dies.
4: How can you get graduating seniors with an average score of 250 to pass with a perfect score of 750?
A: The northern Hengshui model
B: The southern Maotanchang model
Chi Ye uses a tripartite agreement to send the students onto a train. "No free food or lodging, no social insurance or housing fund, and I take ninety percent of the profits."
Student: "You skinflint!"
5: Max-level experts have gathered in a psychiatric hospital. How do you become their boss?
A: A delusional physicist
B: A bipolar chemist
Chi Ye charges into the restroom and grabs a toilet brush. "A spear smeared with shit kills whoever it pokes! Insolent rebels! How dare you attempt to assassinate your emperor? I'll wipe out your whole clan!"
Fellow patient: "As expected of His Majesty the Shit Emperor! His condition is getting worse by the day!"
The instance's ghosts and monsters were at their wits' end.
"Is Lu Mingchuan blind? What kind of sickly weakling has a top-grade lightning spirit root and blows everything up wherever he goes?"
"I'm taking this all the way to the central government!"
"Keep your voice down. If they hear you, you'll lose your head!"
The System pointed at Chi Ye and cursed: "Fiend! You've bewitched the emperor!"
Player teammate: "He's clearly an auspicious sign!"
System: "Lu Mingchuan, take your wife and get out!"

Theme: Promote the core values of socialism.
It's very cute when I think about Xiao Chiye's current three-year-old form, holding a branch to explain.
Madam, what did you put in the middle of this chapter [knock on wooden fish] to make you sleepy?
Congratulations on opening the pit! Isn't it too late for JJ to jump to the notification today [angry]
