Chen Zai, a top game planner whose whole family had been cursed out by countless players, has transmigrated.
The good news: He becomes the Game Master from the start.
The bad news: No benefits, no vacations, no money in the account, and not even enough to pay the bosses.
With unpaid NPCs about to riot and other Game Masters eyeing his domain, his second life is about to hit a death countdown. With no other choice, Chen Zai goes back to his old line of work.
Hah, it's just an infinite game. Who do you think you're looking down on?
Anyway, let's start with a simple new event :)
Players refusing to log in?
Seven-day sign-in, monthly check-ins, daily quests, all of it! Miss one day and pay a tenfold fine, with no upper limit!
The day the event launched, the players went berserk!
Miss one sign-in and lose a skin, an item, a level...
Players nearly left with nothing but their underwear: "Damn it! Satan should get your name tattooed on his back!"
Then they turned around, grumbling as they rolled up their sleeves to sign in, check in, and recruit new players!
The game login screen became the setting for a major production: Reborn, and Now I'm Working a Job in a Horror Game.
Not spending enough?
Time for gacha! One hundred and eight skin sets, available for a limited time and in limited quantities, with bonus effects! Want to collect them all? :)
Players who pulled eight duplicate equipment sets: "This is intolerable! Believe me, I'll... I'll do another ten-pull!"
Damn it, their fingers were practically rubbed raw from topping up.
Squishy players want to slack off?
Watch three ads to unlock a health pack, then three more to revive on the spot!
At first, players said, "Heh, only dogs watch ads."
Later, they said, "Revival is the best! Give me ten more!"
They thought it was just a death game, but who knew the things they earned could be brought into the real world?!
Players: "Help me up, I can still spend!"
Watching players work hard to level up, uncover key clues, and spend money to stay alive,
Chen Zai held his thermos and wore a nostalgic expression. "Back then, I was just an ordinary game planner."
Infinite-game players: "You absolute menace. Who can out-scam you?"
Overnight, the players' enthusiasm surged. They cleared tens of thousands of dungeons and successfully absorbed the domains of other Game Masters.
Chen Zai propped his chin on his hand and sent videos to the fleeing Game Masters. In the video, he grinned smugly. "That's it?"
Chen Zai: Thanks for asking. I only wanted to be a lazy old planner enjoying retirement, but somehow I became a savior.

His beloved vanished under mysterious circumstances. Shen Hui, a special operations team leader, went undercover in the infinite world. He was seeking the truth behind a mass disappearance case, but above all, he hoped to find even the slightest clue about the one he loved.
The voice of God whispered temptations, promising that anyone who cleared the game could have any wish fulfilled.
Shen Hui fought his way through the dungeons, reached the top of the rankings, and stood before the Game Master.
"What wish do you want to have granted?"
"I want everyone to return to their normal lives."
"That's all?"
Shen Hui stared at Chen Zai for a long time before finally speaking in a low voice. "Including my lover."
Theme: Work hard.
