The Max-Level Cannon Fodder's Guide to Self-Salvation [Infinite]

*

As the top villain in the infinite game, Bai Luanzheng committed countless atrocities in his previous life and earned a notorious reputation.

In the end, he met a horrific death, perishing in a fiery hell until not even his bones remained.

Later, Bai Luanzheng was reborn.

He was reborn into the body of a sickly weakling with nothing going for him but his face, a useless cannon-fodder character destined to die horribly in the very first game.

Gravely injured and blind, he was so frail that even the slightest movement hurt.

The ghosts who had summoned him into this body were still shouting his name, kowtowing and begging him to bring "death" to the players.

Bai Luanzheng: ?

His current combat ability is zero. He can't see, and carrying a bucket of water leaves him panting. Who exactly is supposed to bring death to whom?

Staying alive would be enough :)

Here's a joke.

A max-level villain, but the game starts with the worst possible hand.

*

Lin Xianzhou discovered that a cannon-fodder character he'd killed in a dungeon had come back to life.

In his previous life, that character had been stupid and vicious, nearly getting the whole team killed. In the end, he became a sacrifice in a spirit-summoning ritual, had every bone in his body smashed by ghosts, and begged Lin Xianzhou to save him through his tears.

Lin Xianzhou smiled gently at the cannon fodder, then gave him a quick death.

He began discreetly observing Bai Luanzheng.

In every dungeon, Bai Luanzheng would nervously trail at the back of the team, huddling in a corner with a deathly pale face. He never took risks voluntarily, and when a ghost appeared, he was quicker than anyone to crumble.

He was an even more useless... coward than the original cannon fodder.

*

Rather than confronting people head-on, Bai Luanzheng preferred to plot and scheme behind the scenes, manipulating the whole game like an observer. Then he'd set a few little pawns in motion, casually creating some seemingly reasonable "coincidences" to achieve his aims.

In the eyes of the other players, Bai Luanzheng was dead weight, cannon fodder, the most useless person in the dungeon, someone they could send to his death at any moment.

Only Lin Xianzhou could see the truth.

Bai Luanzheng looked terrified, but always managed to "accidentally" find the crucial clues. Using his "life" as a bargaining chip, he manipulated the dungeon's rules with ease and cracked seemingly hopeless situations.

He saw through Lin Xianzhou, who was hiding behind the scenes, with ease.

Bai Luanzheng.

A calculating "god," a consummate liar, and the greatest threat in the game.

*

Reborn into a new life, Bai Luanzheng discovered two things.

First, everyone he knew had become a mindless dungeon NPC, at the game's beck and call and destined to be consumed by it.

Second, Lin Xianzhou no longer recognized him.

Five hundred years ago, Lin Xianzhou had died before Bai Luanzheng's eyes. Covered in blood, he'd personally pushed Bai Luanzheng toward the throne of godhood.

That night, the sky was crimson, and countless eyes peered down at the earth from above.

Lin Xianzhou smiled and called him, "A Zheng."

"You look beautiful when you cry."

A seemingly sickly, fragile cannon-fodder character who is actually a venomous beauty gong x a seemingly gentle and considerate beauty shou who is actually ruthless

Notes:

1. Gong POV. The gong and shou are a strictly exclusive one-on-one couple, with no switching or splitting up. Childhood friends with a pseudo-sibling relationship, both reborn, both beauties, and mutually obsessed. They are each other's only love in body and heart. Before they recognize each other, there will be attempts to kill one another; after they reunite, they will choose each other wholeheartedly.

2. This is not a power fantasy. Both leads are strong, but there are no golden fingers, only items. In the first dungeon, the gong is summoned into a dead person's body and is blind and frail, but he will recover later.

3. An infinite-flow story focused on solving mysteries. The story may be somewhat cliched, and their reborn identities won't affect how they clear the dungeons at all. The author is terrible at logic, but really loves writing despite being bad at it TT.
