Playing a Natural Disaster in Utopia

Lu Chun is a professional game booster, taking on jobs for whatever game is popular.

Maybe she had been working too hard, because for a moment, she saw an illusion before her eyes:

She saw herself in the game, lying dead on a highway, her face covered in blood, her head battered open.

The next second, she toppled over and transmigrated straight into this single-player racing game.

She became a serial killer who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia.

There is no death penalty in this world. The most heinous criminals are sent to psychiatric hospitals and reformed into harmless, obedient people.

After trying all sorts of things, Lu Chun finally decided to switch on her contrarian mode.

In the end, Lu Chun became a hot potato whom everyone in the psychiatric hospital avoided. Then she suddenly went berserk and injured another patient.

At last, she was on the run.

Five minutes later, all the major media outlets interrupted their broadcasts with breaking news:

A serious incident has occurred at A City Psychiatric Hospital. Serial killer Lu Chun has beaten another patient to death and escaped.

Police are currently in pursuit. Residents are urged to lock their doors and windows and stay safe.

Lu Chun looked at the wanted notice on a giant screen in the distance and wiped the rain, now streaked with blood, from her face.

At last, the first game notification sounded in her ear:

[Congratulations, player Black Sheep, on escaping the starting village. Your game interface has been unlocked.]

[Main Quest: Locked.]

[Rules Compendium: 3/roll.]

Lu Chun stared at the world chat for three seconds, then slowly typed a message:

[Eight years of top-tier boosting experience. I can carry beginners out of the starting village. Record available on request. MMMMMM. Rates negotiable.]

The person watching Lu Chun from the darkness saw her message, and a question mark slowly appeared over their head:

Wait, who changed the code for my ruthless killer's top-tier booster?

Blurb:

Li Qiao was born a fifth-class citizen, the child of two first-class criminals. She had no civil rights and was forbidden to leave Outranko, a Class D city teeming with drugs, red-light districts, and fugitives.

But when Li Qiao was sixteen, she awakened as an S+ Guide, becoming the only top-tier Guide in the entire empire.

In a single leap, she went from a nobody whose death in a trash can would go unnoticed to a rare treasure in the eyes of every upper-class Sentinel.

At eighteen, Li Qiao was married off by imperial decree to Cheng Xin, the Marshal's only son: a brooding, violent S+ Sentinel who, at twenty-nine, still hadn't found a compatible Guide.

Sadly, in the third year of their marriage, Cheng Xin died on the battlefield, and even his body was never found.

Everyone in the capital felt sorry for Li Qiao, the beautiful young widow who seemed so fragile and frightened.

Seated in the imperial palace, Li Qiao faced the Emperor's concern, lowering her eyes to reveal her slender, delicate neck, as fragile as glass.

Before long, she was betrothed to the twenty-four-year-old Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince was gentle and would never go to the battlefield himself.

Everyone thought that although Li Qiao was marrying for the second time, it was a foregone conclusion that she would become Empress once the Crown Prince ascended the throne.

But in the second year of their marriage, the Crown Prince encountered an S+ monster during an outing that was supposed to be completely safe.

Like Cheng Xin, he died without a trace.

After hearing the news, Li Qiao wept at home until she nearly fainted.

Three months later, the empire's strongest Sentinel returned from the battlefield and proposed to Li Qiao.

At twenty-three, Li Qiao married Alors, eighteen years old and famed as the empire's God of War, becoming a widow for the third time.

After marrying Li Qiao, Alors was virtually invincible on the battlefield.

The dangerous zone, which had once occupied a third of Blue Star's land, was forcibly reduced by half.

But death was an everyday possibility on the battlefield.

In the fifth year of their marriage, all that remained of Alors was a finger.

An official pointed out that there was no way all three deaths had been accidents. It was one thing for a top-tier Sentinel to die on the battlefield.

But how could an S+ Sentinel like the Crown Prince, who never went to war, be so unlucky?

After becoming a widow for the third time, Li Qiao stood trial before the Empire's military court.

But her spirit form was a Styx jellyfish, a massive, non-aggressive creature known for its extraordinary gentleness and beauty.

Everyone believed that Li Qiao was merely a fragile top-tier Guide who couldn't even look after herself, and could never have done such a thing.

Those three men had died because they were useless.

So, for the fourth time, Li Qiao married the Emperor.

The day after the wedding, the Emperor died, killed by the Crown Prince, who had somehow survived.

Only Li Qiao knew that the Styx jellyfish was venomous, and the higher a Sentinel's rank, the more helplessly addictive its poison became.
