[Short Attention Span · Warm on the Outside, Cold on the Inside Straight-Ace Bottom X AI Top Who's Been Secretly in Love Until He Becomes a Bizarre Love-Brain (Fragment)]
When Yu Gan opened his eyes, the world had changed, yet stayed the same. What hadn't changed was that he was still a freshman in college. What had changed was that he suddenly had... a System?
System: Why phrase that as a question?
Yu Gan: Other people's systems either give them rewards for signing in or let them level up and gain skills by fighting monsters. What can you do?
System: I can show you how much the people around you like you!
Yu Gan: No need, thanks. Dating sims aren't my thing.
He had countless alt accounts and had dabbled in all kinds of games. The one thing he'd never touched was a gal game. Why? You could make money as a game booster. Would a walkthrough get him a rich woman?
...It actually could.
Yu Gan's life didn't change much. He ate and drank as usual, and played new games whenever he had time.
Until the people around him started not only looking uncannily familiar, but also seeing their affection levels skyrocket.
Someone had moved into the long-vacant house next door. A student who'd just returned from abroad, with the face of a certain black dragon.
The doorbell rang. Yu Gan opened the door and found himself facing a broad chest and huge pecs. The young man beamed enthusiastically. "You're home today! Perfect, I bought groceries. Want to eat together? I know you don't like going out, so can I use your kitchen?"
The young man strolled in as if he owned the place, deftly found an apron, and asked what Yu Gan wanted to eat. He practically wanted to take care of all three of his meals every day.
At the school's anniversary celebration, Yu Gan happened to exchange contact information with an investor. The vampire prince had become a CEO, and said he was interested in expanding into the gaming industry and really needed someone like Yu Gan, who could offer a player's perspective.
Dressed in a suit and behaving with elegance, the CEO pushed a contract toward him. "You can choose only games you're interested in. On top of your base pay, you'll be paid separately for each game you play."
Besides all the game characters popping up one after another, his milk tea always came with generous toppings, and whenever he went out to eat, there was always a discount... It seemed his luck had suddenly gone through the roof.
Yu Gan tried logging into an alt account, only to discover that he couldn't find any of these games!
He couldn't help wondering if there was something wrong with his memory, so he ran over in the middle of the night to confide in his childhood friend, the one he'd recently gotten back in touch with.
His childhood friend listened quietly, eyes lowered, patient as he had been when they were children. When Yu Gan finished, he asked, "Isn't this a good thing?"
Yu Gan: ?
He took in Yu Gan's stunned expression. His eyes glowed a deep blue as he said softly,
"This is a special 'Easter egg' just for A-Zhu."
