The Dungeon Boss Just Wants to Watch the Drama [Infinite]

Liu Tang was an honest employee at the Myriad Mirror Garden, always careful to follow the rules. That was until one day, when he learned from a guest that he was just an NPC in a "Hell Game," and all the guests were players. Liu Tang didn't get discouraged. Instead, he discovered that being an NPC let him hear all kinds of juicy gossip from the countless guests. Like how sworn enemies schemed to bankrupt each other, only for their children to fall madly in love; how a lover and his mistress teamed up to frame the wife, only for her to take them both out; how his older brother was also his grandson... It was melodramatic, sure, but so entertaining! Liu Tang truly loved his job! But the good times didn't last. The players' reckless actions unlocked the boss of his dungeon. Liu Tang was both nervous and excited to meet the boss, but then he realized... [Wait?! I'm the boss?!] Player Mo Qianhe heard his thoughts and said: ... The other players, who had been bossing Liu Tang around just moments earlier, saw the boss icon above his head and immediately became meek and quiet as mice. Liu Tang quickly got into character and looked at the guests, who were too scared to speak. "Want to live? Tell me some gossip I haven't heard." The players: ? Player Mo Qianhe spoke up. "A little piece of gossip. I was your boyfriend when I was alive." The melon seeds fell from Liu Tang's hand in shock. Had the gossip finally turned on him? Mo Qianhe: There's plenty more gossip out there. Want to go hear it? Liu Tang: What do I do? I'm so tempted! From then on, a mysterious and powerful being was always at the side of a player named Mo Qianhe. Sometimes this being was a dungeon boss, sometimes an NPC, and sometimes a player. His identity kept changing, but one thing never did: he absolutely loved gossip! [Gossip-obsessed boss shou x a player who lies every other sentence gong] Liu Tang (shou): Kind, free-spirited, and does whatever he wants. Never compromises. Mo Qianhe (gong): Seems emotionally stable, but is actually cold and world-weary. He hates all humans except Liu Tang. Reading guide: 1. The gossip in this story is highly melodramatic, sometimes downright explosive. Just enjoy the show along with Brother Tang~ 2. The worldbuilding includes plenty of supernatural terminology, but it's actually science fiction, with a focus on using science fiction to explain away the supernatural. Updates at 9:00 p.m. every night~ (Updates at other times are for fixing typos~) My new story, The Mad Undercover Agent Runs Wild Across the Stars [Book Transmigration], is now updating~ Come check it out~ #After discovering his ending in the book is especially grim, he goes completely off the rails and smashes his character out of shape. Anyone who dares provoke him gets slapped!# [As an undercover agent in a book, you have to go mad!] Mu Beizhi transmigrates into an interstellar novel, becoming a human prisoner serving as an undercover agent among the Zerg. Good news: His identity in the book is the protagonist, and he has all of the protagonist's biological knowledge. Bad news: The protagonist is tortured throughout the novel, cursed by all of humanity, forced to witness the extinction of the human race, and finally dies with regrets. Mu Beizhi refuses to follow the protagonist's meek, submissive characterization. Faced with the Zerg's oppression, he decides to go completely mad. The transmigration System: That'll break character! Mu Beizhi: Will breaking character kill me? System: Well, no... But it'll derail the plot! Mu Beizhi: So what if it does? How much worse could this lousy plot get? System: The Host makes a good point. I can't argue with that. When the Zerg try to kill him, he slaps them and puts them to work as research subjects. When his human compatriots make snide remarks, he slaps them too and puts them to work as his assistants. [The crazier I get, the more they love me!] The more brazenly he loses it, the more every faction values him. Before long, he becomes both the most valuable human prisoner and the most valuable human spy. Zerg: Only a mad scientist could make such groundbreaking discoveries!

Good news: Mu Beizhi knew him before he transmigrated into the book. Bad news: He was Mu Beizhi's archenemy throughout his entire school career! Mu Beizhi: Well, well! Who would've thought righteous-looking Gu Nanming would betray humanity! System: Host, maybe investigate him first? Mu Beizhi: Fine! I want Gu Nanming to be my partner! My old nemesis obediently calling me "husband"... Just thinking about it gets me excited! System: That's not what I meant by investigate! And it's far from certain who'll be calling whom "husband"! Gu Nanming: I agree. System: I'm tired of telling you all to "calm down". Gu Nanming's Zerg superior: Approved! The human spy chief behind Gu Nanming: Approved!
