Zhu Ling had spent ten years in a psychiatric hospital. Until one day, he was dragged into a bizarre and dangerous game. The moment Zhu Ling’s livestream automatically started, viewers were greeted by a bewildered yet strikingly beautiful young man. Not only was Zhu Ling’s appearance captivating, but he also exuded an air of fragile vulnerability that tugged at the heartstrings. His player stats, clearly displayed on his panel, showed nothing but a row of utterly useless attributes. Countless viewers sighed: What a shame, just a pretty face with no substance. Some gleeful players even boldly predicted how he would meet his demise. That was until they saw the ruthless NPCs hunting down other players—nurses who had cared for Zhu Ling for ten years, or the deranged NPCs conducting experiments on other players—who turned out to be Zhu Ling’s former attending physician… Every NPC treated Zhu Ling with utmost care, a stark contrast to their cruel and merciless behavior toward other players. In the first instance, players dismissed it as coincidence. In the second instance, the boss was Zhu Ling’s former hospital roommate. In the third, the boss was his classmate… It wasn’t until Zhu Ling flawlessly cleared instance after instance—without a single point added to his stats—that players gasped in realization: Zhu Ling must be a self-aware NPC! Exploiting the “acquaintance advantage” to cheese the game, huh? Furious, players reported him to the system. Zhu Ling flipped open his player panel with a scoff: “Acquaintance advantage?” His SSS-tier stats blinded everyone in disbelief.
