This book is also known as: A Thousand Ways for an Online Nobody to Die. On the shell-blasted battlefield of Shanghai, a chubby young shut-in with snot bubbles hanging from his nose hugs a bundle of explosives and charges at a Japanese tank barely taller than a child. After a deafening explosion, not a single intact piece of the two-hundred-jin shut-in can be found. Among the ruins of Stalingrad, a middle-aged, greasy supply clerk is panicking like crazy. He’s holding a Type 38 rifle, and the opponent lying in wait across from him is Major Konnig, known as the “King of Snipers.” On Hill 597.9, a young office worker with both legs blown off drags a bucket of water, struggling inch by inch toward a trench. Inside, his comrades haven’t had a drink in days, and they’re counting on the water to save their lives. Under the bright moonlight, a long trail of blood stretches across the ground. In short, Hu Biao, a young man from the modern world, has been chosen by the System. He must complete impossible missions on the battlefields of countless worlds. Win, and he’ll soar to success; lose, and the whole village will come to his house for a funeral feast. What’s he to do? Obviously, summon online strangers to help.
