After Clearing Infinite Stages, I Took Up Lockpicking as a Side Hustle

Bai Qi returned to the real world from the world of infinite horror with the lowest score.

He was insecure, unlucky, and dirt poor.

To survive, he decided to livestream himself doing side jobs for extra cash.

Side job one: Locksmith.

The door opened. A tall, long-haired man stood with his back to him, a towel tied around his waist. He turned around and said in a low voice, "Mister, are you a pervert?"

At twenty-eight, Bai Qi's first side job ended with him earning a pair of silver bracelets for picking the wrong lock.

Side job two: Street artist.

He happened upon a robber holding a hostage, and traded a sign reading "100% Accurate Banknotes" for the hostage.

[Everyone, listen to me. This is what happens when you learn to paint.]

[Good grief, streamer. You're one trip to the station away from getting arrested.]

Side job three: Haunted house sleep tester.

[Ahhh, streamer, stop sleeping and run! There really is a ghost!!]

Bai Qi, a steadfast materialist, sleepily turned off a faucet dripping with blood.

[???]

Side job four: Funeral home gatekeeper.

#They told you to guard the corpse, not to march it around!#

Side job five: Kindergarten principal.

#Let's take a look at the Sunflower Class, where the whole crew is under the delusion that they're characters from another world?!#

Side job six: Masseuse.

Side job... (Lots more side jobs, many going on at the same time. This isn't an episodic story.)

At last, the viewers realized one thing: this streamer is actually something else!

[Woke up with a start in the middle of the night. Agh, he's so hardworking. How can I sleep at my age?]

The National Special Affairs Administration.

Pei Yan is the youngest child prodigy of his generation: an eighteen-year-old director, powerful, rich, flamboyant, homophobic, and deep in the closet!

He discovers that every time he goes out on a mission, he runs into the pervert who picks his locks.

Pei Yan folds his arms. "Bro, I didn't expect you to follow me all the way here."

Bai Qi: "...Weren't you the one who told me to come file a report?"

A straight male lead who's invincible without realizing it x a flamboyant long-haired male lead who's secretly gay but homophobic

Content warnings:

1. The male lead has cleared an infinite-flow world, so he can't possibly be mentally normal.

2. The other male lead simply likes beautiful things, including pretty clothes, whether men's or women's (he collects them and buys them even when he doesn't have the right size). He does not have gender dysphoria.

3. At first, the other male lead calls him "Mister" out of prejudice. Normally he calls him "Bro," but when they're arguing, he goes back to "Mister."
