Playing the Comfort Character in an Infinite Flow World

Shu Song hates the "superior people" in infinite-loop games more than anything.

In these games, some players are already upper-class in the real world, and continue to seize resources without restraint after entering the game, squeezing the lower-class players out of their chance to survive.

When Shu Song entered the game, he happened to join a team of "superior people."

They were all arrogant and looked down on everyone. Even when Shu Song secretly sabotaged them, they didn't seem to suspect the frail-looking Shu Song.

Then, on the third day in the game, the team's progress suddenly ground to a halt.

The "superior people" were discussing something without letting Shu Song join in.

But Shu Song still overheard a few words. They were talking about... comfort characters.

Curious, Shu Song pretended he knew what they meant. He strolled past them as if by chance and said dismissively, "A comfort character sounds about as useful as a support. Is it really worth discussing for so long?"

His teammates turned to look at him with complicated expressions.

"A comfort character is someone like you."

K grinned, snatched the card from Shu Song's hand, flipped it over, and held it up in front of him.

Shu Song stood there, dumbstruck: "..."

He was the very character card he had just called useless.

Help! Why don't you keep discussing what I should do?

His face went pale. He clutched K's sleeve, pleading with his eyes.

K suddenly noticed something and made a thoughtful sound. "This character card has a reward, too..."

"If you let them have their way with you from the start of the dungeon until the end, you can clear it without a problem."

Everyone's gazes met briefly over Shu Song, then they looked away in tacit understanding.

Shu Song understood what they meant, and his tears fell even faster.

He was so tiny. How could he possibly handle all those men?
