Class 1, Senior Year [Infinite]

[Ensemble cast of students + supernatural powers + infinite-loop survival game: a group of high school seniors with more resentment than ghosts take on a horror game]

Nanjiang No. 1 High School, the best key high school in Nanjiang City.

It is also the only school in the city where students can bring their phones, perm their hair, dye it, and wear whatever they like. The rules are incredibly lax.

Class 1, Grade 12, is the best science-track class at Nanjiang No. 1 High School, and also its most bizarre.

The mental state of every student in the class is a thing of beauty.

The class monitor invented his own sleep-study method. He claims he can double his efficiency by listening to lectures while half-asleep. Every time the bell rings, he pulls down his sleep mask and passes out cold.

The two science class reps spend every day practically clawing each other's eyes out over who has to hand in the homework. They wage eight hundred rounds of furious warfare on their social media feeds, each having formed their own gang. They're the very picture of modern cliques.

The Chinese class rep enthusiastically embraced the school's policy allowing students to bring phones. He brought not only his phone but also a tablet and a laptop, then put on his Bluetooth earbuds and settled in to binge-watch shows.

The study committee member understands the importance of the internet in this day and age. Determined to become a content creator while still in high school, he livestreams in the classroom every day with several enormous ring lights, utterly oblivious to everyone around him.

And Jiang Xu is simply the most unremarkable one of them all.

...If you ignore the fact that every day he uses his phone to campaign for himself on the school forum's campus heartthrob poll.

Until that evening's study hall.

The Seewo smartboard flickered on and off, but the students below carried on with their business as if it were nothing.

The livestreamer kept streaming, and the ones arguing kept arguing.

“Bang, ”

The ceiling lights suddenly exploded, plunging the classroom into darkness.

Coming soon to my author page: I Want to Uninstall Earth Online!

Blurb:

A gambling-addict dad, a critically ill mom, a younger sister who dropped out of school, and him, broken beyond repair.

Born into a family like that, Hang Ran didn't even have the strength to hang himself. He stood on the rooftop, gazing miserably at the neighbors below as they splashed sewage at each other.

Just then, a voice rang out in his mind.

[Inviting you to rate Earth Online,]

*

A wealthy dad, a gentle mom, a lively little brother, and him, melancholy.

Born into a family like that, Xie Shiheng spent every day lying flat, thinking life was nothing special and painfully dull.

Had he been deleted from Earth Online? Why wasn't anyone trying to win him over?

Just then, a voice rang out in his mind.

[Inviting you to rate Earth Online,]

*

Just days after Earth Online launched its rating system, it had racked up countless negative reviews and claimed the top spot on the list of games players most wanted to uninstall.

The developer tore out what little hair they had left and decided to select a group of players for a new-version beta test.

*

A few days after leaving his negative review, another pop-up appeared before Hang Ran.

[Updating Earth Online,]

Hang Ran had just delivered his last order of the day. A nameless anger flared in his chest. “Get lost. I never said I wanted to play.”

[A quest branch has been unlocked]

[Complete the quest to receive a reward of 10,000 yuan. Will you accept the quest,]

Hang Ran: “?”

There are perks like this?

*

Xie Shiheng had just booked a private hot spring bath. He opened the bill his younger brother had sent over, scribbled something in the signature box, and a pop-up suddenly appeared before him.

[Updating Earth Online,]

Annoyed, he said offhandedly, “Can I uninstall this lousy game or not?”

[The pay-to-win system has been unlocked]

[Target detected]

[Recharge 10,000 yuan to unlock the romance questline. Will you recharge,]

Xie Shiheng: “?”

Paying for the game gets you a wife? What a deal!
