Getting Rich Starts with Selling Supplements [Infinite]

The fifth instance is complete.

Xu Ci Yi is an NPC in an unlimited horror game.

Rule-based horror has swept the globe. Players must keep completing missions to earn a ticket out, while NPCs must keep working like corporate drones to buy back their contracts.

A rumor circulates among the players.

A masked female NPC randomly appears in different instances. Sometimes she disguises herself as a monster, sometimes as a player. Sometimes she takes lives, and sometimes she rescues people from danger.

If you recognize her, she'll come over and ask you in a mysterious, gloomy voice:

"Hey, folks! I've got some strength-boosting liquid here. Buy one bottle and get a bottle of calming brain tonic free! Come to my livestream tonight. Four bottles for just 998, and I'll throw in one to take home!"

Players think this is the System's latest trick for draining their points.

Until the top-ranked player goes live on the global board, gets targeted by the System, and is swarmed by ghosts. Just as it looks like the top player on every leaderboard is about to fall in one blow...

Xu Ci Yi grabs a jar of mysterious, bright-green liquid and plunges it into his body.

In an instant, the demons and ghosts turn to dust, the illusion shatters, and all falls silent. Only the top player remains, sitting on the ground, shaken and full of gratitude.

That day, Xu Ci Yi became famous overnight.

That day, a guide to the masked female NPC appeared on the forum and the thread grew to ten thousand pages.

That day, the age-old rules of the horror game began freaking out all night:

If you encounter a salesperson in the game, do not trade! Do not trade! Do not trade! (Red text, enlarged, with special effects.)

Xu Ci Yi enters the System lobby.

The game System is overjoyed. "Are you here to resign, ma'am?"

Xu Ci Yi puts the previous administrator's head on the table. "I'm here to get a business license."

Highlights: Contains a little livestreaming. The rule-based horror instances play a minor role.

The instances lean toward traditional unlimited-flow stories.

It won't be too scary, because the author is scared too, sob.

Theme: A new approach can lead to a brighter path.
