It Was Supposed to Be a Bridge-Building Game, So Why Am I Conquering the Tianshan Mountains?

[Game Development] + [Lighthearted Comedy] + [Players in Tears] + [Subverting Expectations]

After transmigrating to a parallel world, Qin Fan unexpectedly represents his academy on a live-streamed game design show and awakens the [Game Life System].

The System helps its Host earn player emotion points through games. These points can be exchanged in the game shop for skills, cash, music, settings, and other resources.

To harvest player emotion points, Qin Fan starts acting like a real villain.

…

Game One [Bridge Building]:

“As long as the bridge can carry traffic, the lower the cost, the higher your ranking?”

“What kind of bridge-building design game is this? It’s a scammer simulator!”

“What do you mean, launching the little blue car over the bridge counts as beating the level?”

“Wait, why is there something about a little boy in the hidden quest?”

“What do you mean, this one bridge is the only thing that can change the little boy’s fate?”

“Kid, you can’t cross this bridge! Go back, hurry!”

The moment they saw the child fall into the water, everyone watching the livestream burst into tears.

Game Two [Tunnel]:

“So all I have to do is get the tunnel open? I can save the rest of the money for the next level?”

“Holy crap, the investment is over a hundred million. I can embezzle as much as I want!”

“What do you mean, the instant noodles I ate were his birthday longevity noodles?”

“What do you mean, without this tunnel, they’d have to walk for hours along the mountain roads to get out?”

“Stand it up! I said stand the tunnel-boring machine up!”
