Retiring After Taking Too Much Damage as an Infinite-Game Player

[My other novel, Underworld Demolition Crew, is now available next door. If you're interested, go check it out!] Synopsis: In the one hundred and twenty-fifth year since being dragged into an infinite-flow game, Lou Yangxue has lost his eyesight and everyone has turned against him, but at last he's able to retire. With a retirement fund of 250 yuan from the start, plus the debuff of battle-worn blindness, how can he survive? No choice. His former employer won't pay his pension, so he'll have to get rich by killing heretics :-D Just as Earth's superhumans find themselves helpless against the countless heretics, a mighty figure named “Too Many Tentacles, I Can't See” suddenly appears! They say this big shot has mastered every school of magic and excels at enchanting, runes, forging, formations, incantations, potions… a true all-rounder with eighteen specialties! Every superhuman who sees the bio on his profile scoffs. What kind of nonsense is that? If he's really so powerful, why hasn't he killed every heretic in the world? Lou Yangxue: Any minute now. I'm killing them, I'm killing them! In a haunted apartment, the innocent residents flee for their lives. Blind Lou Yangxue steps on the face of a Cthulhu-esque female ghost and smiles calmly. “I know ten ways to clear apartment dungeons. Let me guess, which kind are you?” At an amusement park where every visitor is lost in the revelry, Lou Yangxue makes a dazzling turn and disguises himself as a divine messenger, tricking the God of Revelry into losing both its fortune and its life. After single-handedly bringing about the fall of the gods, Lou Yangxue counts the divine sparks in his hands, ready to pull off one last job before retiring for good. * The superhumans of Earth would never forget that day A mage killed an evil god in full view of the public. His hair was silver as snow, and his elfin, beautiful face appeared on screens around the world. He told them, “I will kill every false god.” “So come and worship me.” Asmoday, an evil god, had been asleep for years. When he awoke, he found his divine authority stolen and his body split into pieces. The little tentacle monsters that had broken off from him had somehow fallen in love one after another with a blind summoner, even roasting their own tentacles for him to eat. Asmoday was furious and decided to personally teach that presumptuous summoner a lesson. Then he was won over :-D - Ever since Lou Yangxue summoned that mysterious evil god, things around him have grown stranger and stranger. Little octopuses multiply like noodles, and wherever he goes, there's a fish infestation. Love-brain syndrome spreads rapidly among the little octopuses. They shriek and wrestle with one another, all fighting for the one and only right to be his mate. At first, Lou Yangxue manages to keep everyone happy, effortlessly juggling them all. Until he discovers that the little tentacle monsters are actually the major creditor whose debt he still hasn't repaid. Finally realizing something is wrong, Lou Yangxue grabs his white cane and steels himself to sneak away. But countless tentacles shoot out, wrap around his hands and feet, and drag him into the darkness. “Trying to run away again, my… fiancée?” [Beautiful, pitiful, blind and frail-looking powerhouse bottom x gloomy, crawling, split-personality tentacle-monster evil god top] Reading Guide: 1. A max-level powerhouse returns to the beginner village, a shamelessly satisfying face-slapping romp. 2. The bottom's eyes will be healed later. He won't remain blind forever. 3. The top is a veteran obsessive stalker, a little creepy. All his fragments revolve around the bottom, and their intelligence is inversely proportional to their lovesickness. Don't read if that's not your thing. 4. The top is a hundred times older than the bottom. He's an old-school evil god, while the bottom is still young and has his own growth arc. Readers who prefer the bottom to be stronger than the top, beware. Next up: Underworld Demolition Crew, starting January 3. Click to see an epic showdown between the underworld and an infinite-flow game! [Not really] Synopsis: Infinite-flow games run rampant in the human world, causing countless souls to go missing in a short time. To crack down on illegal dungeons and protect the living, the underworld dispatches its strongest evil ghost, Yan Huai, to the human world. He urgently establishes the Underworld Demolition Crew and launches full-scale demolitions against all infinite-flow games. Underworld: Those infinite-flow bosses might be pretty formidable. Be careful. Yan Huai: No, the ones who need to be careful are the ghosts. ** When they first heard rumors of the Underworld Demolition Crew, the infinite-flow bosses all laughed it off. The underworld? What kind of third-rate little organization is that? Never heard of it! It thinks it can demolish their infinite-flow dungeons? Who does it think it is? With utter disdain, the bosses lorded over the tiny demolition crew and reached out a finger, intending to crush them outright. Who could have guessed that every member of the little crew would be outrageously powerful The Lord of Rules wrote an unsolvable rules-based horror story, hoping to trap them all inside. Yan Huai: Close the door. Release Taotie! And so its indestructible power over rules was chewed to pieces by a ferocious beast whose eyes glowed green. Taotie: Yummy! The Lord of Rules instantly fell apart. How could its glorious power over rules be something you could eat? The Lord of Domains, whose defense was maxed out, sealed off its territory to fight the Underworld Demolition Crew over land rights. Yan Huai: Close the door. Send in the demolition squad! And so its ironclad domain was blasted into a pile of rubble by a barrage of free immortal arts. Lord of Domains: Weren't we told the human world was in an age without magic, and there were no gods? Someone tell me where those cultivators came from! Cultivators: Hehe, our ghosts were still in the underworld waiting to be reincarnated. Didn't see that coming, did you? Terrified, the bosses turned their attention to the demolition crew's leader, who looked like the weakest of them all. Yan Huai tore off his human skin, and beneath a torrent of ghostly energy, a hundred thousand evil ghosts emerged from the netherworld and waited for his orders. The red-haired evil ghost stamped them into the ground and looked down at them scornfully. “I was already the Ghost King a thousand years ago, before you were even born.” ** Players who had suffered at the hands of infinite-flow games once thought humanity's end was at hand. Until one day, a miracle happened. Black Tortoise, Di Ting, Taotie… Meng Po, the Giant Spirit God, the Mountain God… The legendary deities of Huaxia returned to the human world and protected this land overrun by monsters. The players were moved to tears. “So the underworld has our backs too! Thank you, Underworld Demolition Crew! We're saved!” But as the demolition crew's reputation spread far and wide, a post appeared on the players' forum [Title: Does anyone know how the head of the Underworld Demolition Crew is related to Yan Wang? Why can I chant the summoning spell all day and still not borrow Yan Wang's divine power, while the head just calls his name and Yan Wang appears in a flash?] Anonymous reply 1: Don't ask. It's workplace corruption. Anonymous reply 2: No way, there are still people who don't know? These two ghosts act like innocent superior and subordinate by day, then secretly sleep together at night! I'm a house ghost. I saw it with my own eyes from under the bed! Theme: The simple, ordinary life is the real thing
