Devin Thomas was just laying down for bed after binge reading light novels on his favorite app when...

CIA. FSB. How can I be involved in all of this?

How can anything happen so sudden?

Is everything has a secret meaning nowadays?

Does the government always hiding something from us?

Everything went from dealing with street thugs to dealing with a conflict between the CIA and FSB. 

The clock is ticking. Got to find that nuke fast.
---------------------

This book contains a lot of technical terms.


"According to your situation, I suggest you raise a British Shorthair," Zhang Zian said to a customer who was hesitating about buying a cat.
"OK, let me consider." The customer had not decided yet.
"Eeek!"
Zhang Zian was startled, and he looked back to the stairwell to the second floor. He saw Pi extend its little head and beckon to him quietly, and then immediately withdrew its head.
"What is that sound?" The customer looked around and wondered. "Mr. Store Manager, do you have other pets besides cats, dogs, and birds?"
"No, I don't. It is the old stairs that creak when they are stepped upon." Zhang Zian made up an excuse. "Feel free to look at the pets here, and if you have any problems, you can ask the cashier for help. Now excuse me, I need to go upstairs."
After he finished the words, he quickly went back upstairs.
Recoiling in fear, Pi was waiting for him in front of the living room.
"What's wrong, Pi? Did something happen? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
He asked a series of questions.
Prior to this, Pi had never gone downstairs to find him. That was why he worried that something had happened to Pi. His greatest concern was that Pi may fall ill. He didn't know how to cure an Imaginative Elfin. Even if he could find a way to cure it, others would know about the fact that he was raising a monkey.
"Eeek!"
Pi pointed to the tablet computer anxiously, but it didn't look like it was sick.
Zhang Zian didn't understand what it was trying to say. "Go type on the desktop computer."
They entered the living room together. Pi jumped onto the swivel chair and typed in the Word document: I have tried several books, and only parts of the books could be read.
Zhang Zian didn't understand anything at first. He looked at the tablet computer, and he immediately relaxed and laughed. "Because the following chapters are only accessible until I have recharged my account. And I haven't, of course you can't read them."

Puzzled, Pi typed: Recharge?
"Yes, although web novels are not written on paper as the physical books are; just like rice, computers, drinking water, and clothes, they are also the products of the labor of others. Readers need to pay for most of the relatively exciting web novels. If the authors could not get paid for their labor, who would sit on the computer every night? Who does not know that playing games or watching movies is more comfortable than writing novels?" Zhang Zian explained.
Pi typed: Is it very expensive to recharge?
Zhang Zian said to himself that the price of reading online novels was indeed inexpensive, but the reading speed of Pi was too fast… However, he did not want Pi to have a psychological burden. So, he said casually, "As a pastime, reading online novels is very cheap, at least it is much cheaper than looking for a girlfriend... Pi, in which app do you mainly read online novels? I'll put some money in that app."
Pi was pointing at an icon on the screen of the tablet computer.
"Well, let me see how I can recharge my account in it." Zhang Zian took over the tablet computer, deliberately avoiding the eyes of Pi, and estimating how much money should be put in the app according to the reading speed of Pi. Finally, he made up his mind and added 1,000 Yuan into his account. 
"Well, Pi, you can choose whatever books you like." He handed the tablet back to it.
"Eeek!"
Pi took over the tablet and tried to open the previously locked chapters. Sure enough, it could read those chapters now. It immediately sat on the wicker hanging chair and enjoyed reading the novels.
Intimidated by the rapid reading speed of Pi, Zhang Zian felt sorry for his wallet. Pi really liked online novels so much that it actually went downstairs to find him for help.
Despite spending 1,000 Yuan on the reading app, Zhang Zian felt the money was well spent. Because Pi could read online novels from now on, it would not have such a great demand on physical novels, thus saving him a lot of time. He could devote more of his time to the day-to-day operations of his pet shop.
The only thing he was not sure of, was reading online novels a senseless measure for Pi? There were numerous online novels that even Pi could not finish reading in the foreseeable future. Would Pi increasingly isolate itself?

For the time being, he could not think of any other way. He had no choice but to let time tell him how Pi would turn out.
...
Pi gradually let its guard down in the pet shop. It no longer kept holding the untitled book all the time. When it was reading in the wicker hanging chair, it would casually put the untitled book next to the laptop on the desk.
Staring at the screen of the tablet intently, it was reading a wonderful part of a novel. It had just finished reading a chapter and swiped the screen gently with its finger as the page jumped to the next chapter.
"Pi, don't spend all your time reading books; get up and move around."
Pi looked up and saw that Zhang Zian had come to the wicker hanging chair and was looking at it with worry.
"Eeek!"
It waved its hand, suggesting that it would rest after finishing the current chapter. And then it lowered its head and continued reading. 
"Pi!"
Pi felt that Zhang Zian's tone sounded unusual. It looked up blankly, as if asking him what was going on. 
Zhang Zian said seriously, "Pi, you have been reading books for five consecutive hours, and you need to get up and move. Otherwise, you may be subject to some health issues. I'm playing hide-and-seek with Galaxy. Do you want to join us?"
"Meow!"
Galaxy appeared from behind him, staring at Pi with its silver-gray eyes.
"Meow! Pi, come and play hide-and-seek together?"
Pi looked alternately at both of them. Their expressions were very serious. Their eyes were full of fear and anxiety. They were clearly worried about Pi.
"Eeek?"
Pi stretched out a palm. It was asking if it had been reading for five hours.

Zhang Zian nodded. "Yes, when I got up in the morning, I discovered that you were reading. At that time, it was before 7 o'clock. Now it is 12 o'clock noon. I have just finished lunch and you haven't moved for at least five hours."
"Eeek."
Pi put down the tablet and jumped off the chair. Suddenly, it staggered and almost lost its balance. 
Zhang Zian rushed to support it. "Pi, are you okay?"
After reading books in the same posture for a long time, Pi found that the joints all over its body were stiff, especially the joints of its neck. Every time Pi moved its neck, it would creak like a rusted bearing. Its legs were already numb and couldn't move freely. 
"Eeek…"
Leaning its whole body against Zhang Zian, Pi put out a finger and wrote words in his palm: I'm fine. I will recover after taking a rest.
Zhang Zian looked at the frail Pi and could not help secretly regretting his choice. Why did he let Pi read online novels? Since Pi had nothing else to do, it would be fascinated by books. If Pi finished reading the limited number of physical books, it could take a rest. However, there were too many online novels. That was why it kept reading one book after another without resting.
He helped Pi into the wicker hanging chair to let it lie down and rest. He and Galaxy stood next to it to guard it. 
"Eeek."
Pi turned its head inwards, covering its face with its hands.
Zhang Zian guessed that it was saying "I'm sorry". So, he comforted it, "There is nothing to be sorry for, Pi, you just need to pay attention to the time you spend in reading."
Pi nodded.
After a while, the numbness in its legs vanished, and Pi jumped up from the wicker hanging chair despite Zhang Zian's concern.
"Eeek?"
It repeatedly raised its hands to cover its eyes and then removed its hands.

"Pi, do you want to play hide-and-seek with us?" Zhang Zian guessed its meaning.
Pi nodded, looking at Zhang Zian with uncertainty. "Eeek?"
"Of course, you are welcome to join us at any time." Zhang Zian laughed. "Right, Galaxy?"
"Meow! Welcome!" Galaxy said happily. "Let's play hide-and-seek together!"
"Wait a minute, I'm going to ask Famous to play with us. That guy has been sleeping all day long. It's time for it to wake up." Zhang Zian rushed downstairs.
After a while, he returned to the second floor with the sleepy Famous and asked, "Who is going to be the seeker? Let's decide by playing rock-paper-scissors! Ready? Rock, paper, scissors!"
Before anyone had time to refuse, he had arbitrarily decided that the seeker would be selected through rock-paper-scissors.
"Meow! Paper!"
"Eeek!"
"Excuse me?" said Famous. 
As a result, both Zhang Zian and Pi formed scissors with their hands, while Famous and Galaxy formed paper with their hands.
"Wow, ha-ha. Either of you will become the seeker!" Zhang Zian smirked.
Famous stared at its claws helplessly. "You're cheating! Galaxy and I can only form the shape of paper with our hands..."
"That I don't care!" Zhang Zian scoffed. "Anyway, which one of you will be the seeker? I don't think you two can decide by playing rock-paper-scissors. Would you like to flip a coin?"
He magically pulled out a coin and bounced it into the air. The coin fell back into his palm and was covered by his other hand.
"Heads or tails? Who will guess first?" he asked.
"Meow! Heads!" Galaxy answered first.


Famous was even more speechless. Isn't it obvious that I will lose to Galaxy when it comes to guessing heads or tails? The probability of me winning is simply zero!
Zhang Zian looked at Famous mischievously and asked, "Famous, so you will choose tails?"
"No, I don't choose either side. I admit defeat." Famous sighed. "Forget it, I'll be the seeker. Why are you bullying me today?"
"What are you talking about? We were not bullying you! You lost in the rock-paper-scissors!" Zhang Zian laughed. "Just go to count—right, you must not use your sense of smell to seek us, you will be cheating if you do!"
"You are in no position to accuse others of cheating!" Famous reluctantly found a corner. Facing the wall, it closed its eyes and said, "1,2,3,4..."
Galaxy first sought a place to hide. Zhang Zian squeezed its eyes to Pi and gestured that they should hide in different places.
Pi had seen Zhang Zian and Galaxy play hide-and-seek before, but it was the first time that Pi personally participated in this game. It had been staying in the living room almost all the time and was not familiar with other rooms. Since it did not know where to hide, it finally hid itself under the desk.
After counting to 100, Famous opened its eyes and looked around. If Famous could use its sense of smell, it would be very easy for Famous to find the hiders. Even if its sense of smell was not allowed in this game, Famous just needed to spend more time to find them. After all, the pet shop was not a very large space. 
Famous had a bright idea. It yelled, "Stop hiding, I saw you!"
"Eeek!"
Since Pi was playing hide-and-seek for the first time, it didn't know that Famous was playing tricks. Believing that Famous had really spotted it, Pi got panicked and got out from the desk. Bang! It moved too fast and its head slammed into the desk.
"Eeek!"
Pi was in so much pain that it fell and sat on the ground, grabbing its head and sobbing.
The desk swayed twice, and the untitled book at the corner of the desk fell to the floor and spread out.

Chenhui Building, in the Photon Force Laboratory on the fourth floor.
"That big rascal Dali." Tang Muxin pouted and angrily sat onto the chair. Stroking Little Meow in her arms, she dispiritedly said, "Now that there are only five days left from the deadline, he's instead still staying here every day and developing that so-called Crazyracing Kartrider. I really don't know what's in his heart, why is he so carefree that he doesn't care about anything!"
Li Nianwei, who was accompanying her by the side, also shook her head. Smiling, she said, "Young Master is really unconcerned about everything. He only wants to have fun. But it's exactly because of such a personality that you like him, right?"
"Humph humph, who likes him!" Tang Muxin turned her head around and disdainfully said, "I don't like this type of nitwitted person!" 
As she spoke up to this point, suddenly, Hong Weiguo's secretary, Xiao Liu, hurriedly entered the laboratory. Upon seeing Tang Muxin, he was delighted and anxiously said, "Miss Muxin, where is Young Master Dali?"
"You're talking about that nitwitted fellow?" Tang Muxin's face was full of displeasure as she pointed at the iron laboratory. "He's inside developing things. These few days, he's been staying there. It really makes people anxious to death."
"Young Master Dali!" Upon hearing that Hong Dali was here, Xiao Liu loudly shouted, "Young Master Dali, are you here? CEO Hong is looking for you!"
"What's the matter now!" Hong Dali's voice was rather annoyed. "What's with him finding me every now and then, can we still play happily?!"
Cold sweat dripped down Xiao Liu's forehead, as he cautiously said, "Young Master Dali, CEO Hong is looking for you. The car is already parked downstairs, please follow me."
"We're now at the critical moment of my research." Hong Dali was hopping mad. "Can't you wait for a while?!"
"It's really an urgent matter this time." Xiao Liu was extremely cautious. "Young Master Dali, please do follow me quickly, it's really urgent!"
"Alright, alright." Hong Dali appeared greatly displeased as he came out with his clothes full of oil stains all over. "Let me make this clear, my side is urgent now, it can be sent for production passing just one more stage. Seriously…"
Xiao Liu was soaked with sweat. It was really extraordinarily difficult to invite this Young Master Dali over!
Upon seeing that Hong Dali had finally come out, everyone instantly got up and followed him to Sangle building.
"Dad, you're looking for me? What matter is so urgent?" Hong Dali, disregarding the oil stains all over his body, directly sat on the sofa. This fellow also took a bottle of fruit juice and started sucking it. As he drank it, his face was full of grief. "I was so close to finishing it at my side…" 
Upon seeing how Hong Dali was behaving, Mu Tie and Liu Yihui couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Little rascal, why are you talking so much rubbish when I'm looking for you!" Hong Weiguo dispiritedly said, "It's all because of your bet with Ko Gohon!"
"Just because of this?" Hong Dali's eyes stared wide open. "I was still wondering what kind of big matter it was. You called me over so hurriedly just because of this? I could just talk about it back home…"
Hong Weiguo was hopping mad. "Little rascal, do you know what kind of person you have provoked this time?"
"What person?" Hong Dali felt strange and asked, "Isn't it Ko Gohon?"
"Ko Gohon is just a useless young master!" Hong Weiguo raged. "The chief consultant of Toyoda Conglomerate, Shiroishi Kazuma, has personally come to our Heavenly State. It's him who is helping Ko Gohon in the dark! You're on the verge of losing the bet with him this time, and you're not the least anxious?!"
"Just because of this?" Hong Dali mumbled, "It's such a small matter…"
"This is a small matter?!" Hong Weiguo almost exploded with rage. "The few of us old fellows have been so troubled over your bet that our hairs are going to turn white soon, yet you're so calm about it! At the very least you should take it seriously, alright?"
Mu Tie and Liu Yihui sighed in unison. This Hong Dali was really muddle-headed…
Tang Muxin grinned as she listened. It was really unbearable to watch!
"But my Crazyracing Kartrider…" Hong Dali was very frustrated. "It's left with just the last stage, and after it's done, it can be sent for production. Dad, why don't I go back first…"
"Think of an idea before you leave!" Hong Weiguo had a strong urge to ferociously slap him. Fortunately, he controlled himself and didn't follow up on the urge. "You can't expect us few old fellows to think till our hair grows white, right? That's Ko Gohon, the biggest enemy of our Hong Family! We can lose to anybody but him!"
"That's true…" Hong Dali scratched his head and asked, "But how exactly are things going on over there now? I'm not very sure!"
"You brat!" Hong Weiguo furiously said, "Can you not be so nitwitted! It's a bet, after all! Aren't you the least concerned about it?"
"That's true…" Hong Dali thought for a while. "I've been busy upgrading the Holographic Projection and making the Crazyracing Kartrider, how would I have time to care about this?" 
"Fine!" Hong Weiguo gritted his teeth in fury. "Then I'll tell you what exactly is the situation!"
Instantly, Hong Weiguo told him all about the current IP visitor volume at Feng Yun website, the number of books updated within three days, the smartphone reading app that they had made, as well as their advertisements through all the channels.
Alas, after he'd said all these, Hong Dali curiously asked, "Dad, you needn't go so far as to think about such a simple matter till your hair turns white, right?"
"Simple?! You're saying that it's simple?!" Hong Weiguo said in frustration, "Three of us old fellows, plus my fourth brother have thought for one afternoon and yet we still don't have any ideas. And now you're telling me that this is a simple matter?!"
Mu Tie and Liu Yihui were shocked as well. Mu Tie anxiously asked, "Dali, you're saying that it's actually very simple to solve this issue?"
"Yes, very simple." Hong Dali felt strange and asked, "Uncle Mu Tie, you all really haven't figured it out?"
"If we'd figured it out would we need to call you over here?" Liu Yihui shook his head and desperately asked, "Then, Dali, according to what you think, how should we solve this?"
"I remember we made a smartphone reading app, right?" Hong Dali asked, "How long did we take to develop that? They wouldn't have developed it at the same time as us, right? But they can make this smartphone reading app so quickly, so it's obviously a pirated one…"
"Pirated?" Hong Weiguo touched his chin, then he understood very quickly. "Dali, you're saying that their smartphone reading app is a pirated version of ours? Mm, right, this is the case, this is definitely the case!"
Mu Tie also slapped his thighs. "Right, it must be pirated! As I thought. After all, we took more than a month to develop this app. No matter how fast they are, they wouldn't be able to make it within a few days' time, right?"
"Yes, it's definitely a pirated one." Liu Yihui touched his chin, then frowned and said, "But it's not easy to deal with this pirated issue. Dali, are you saying that we should sue them for infringement of copyright? But the lines are blurry when it comes to copyright infringement. It's only counted as copyright infringement if the similarity is sixty percent and above. But I've seen their app. They've done very well in this, the level of similarity is only around fifty percent."
"Yes, we can't succeed in suing them for this." Hong Weiguo shook his head as well. "If we don't eliminate this reading app, we won't have an absolute advantage. Moreover, even if this app is counted as an infringement of copyright, how is it related to your bet?"
"It's not!" Alas, Hong Dali said very confidently. "I'm just mentioning this. Anyway, we must attack him in all aspects."
"No…" Hong Weiguo stumbled, but this time, he had more or less understood that his precious son definitely had some good idea. "Mm, then say, how you would attack him?"
"That's simple." Hong Dali grinned. "We were the first to make the app, right? A patent has definitely been applied for this, right? They can avoid risks, but it doesn't mean that we can't change! As long as we copy a portion of the source code of their app at the most unassuming part, we can increase the aspect of similarity to sixty percent and above, and that'll do." 
Once Hong Dali said this, everyone instantly drew in a cold breath!
This Hong Dali usually seemed like he was rather harmless, but it turned out that once he really decided to be mean, he was definitely exceptional!
Initially, the level of similarity of the other party's software compared to theirs was only around fifty percent. If they followed Hong Dali's idea, it would be secretly changing their own source code and making the level of similarity with the other party to be over sixty percent!
Anyway, we were the ones who made it first, and we've applied for a patent for it first. It really wouldn't be a problem to do this secretly!
"You can actually think of such an idea!" Mu Tie was soaked in cold sweat. "Dali, this idea of yours is really… I'll go and get someone to do it right away!"
Liu Yihui also nodded firmly and said, "This idea is really impressive. It's a tactic of taking extreme means to deal with the problem. Chopping off their reading app is akin to chopping off their arm!" 
"Dali, have you watched too many conspiracy films recently?" Hong Weiguo was also soaked in cold sweat as he cautiously asked, "What about the later part? What should we do about the bet?"
"It's simple to deal with the bet too." Hong Dali stretched long and hard. "We can just expose that the boss behind Feng Yun website is this Jabanese Ko Gohon. And then we can spread this atmosphere and make a bigger noise over this, further enhancing the ethnic standpoint—that will more or less do it…"
Lastly, Hong Dali added, "And then we can find Uncle Chief to go down and do some inspection, and that'll do."
"Ah…" After saying these, Hong Dali hurriedly stood up. "Alright, if there isn't any other problem, I'll leave first. There's really one last stage before it can be sent for production…"
After Hong Dali had left, Hong Weiguo and the other two hadn't completely reacted to this.
The impact was a little too great on them.
This prodigal Hong Dali who was playful and carefree seemed like he was actually rather brilliant…
"Why didn't I this of this?" Hong Weiguo pinched his face hard. "Why?"
"Yes," Mu Tie nodded. "Why didn't I think of this?"
"It hurts our pride…" Liu Yihui agreed. "Your Dali is much more mean than us…"


"I have to squander; otherwise, won't it be a waste of my parent's talent at earning money?" Hong Dali answers a reporter's question matter-of-factly. 

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System's interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, "I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I'll have to work harder!"

"I want to splurge! I want to squander!"


"Xiao Man, turn off the stream! Today’s stream is over!" the Witch said with an angry huff.

Xiao Man bitterly nodded her head and said to the camera, "Handsome guys and beautiful ladies in the chat—today’s show ends here! Don’t forget to subscribe to the Witch’s Taobao Store!"

"And... cut!" Xiao Man said. The viewers were still bubbling with excitement when she exited the stream and put away her device.

When Chu Xian heard this last sentence, he was dazed for a bit. Then, an idea popped into his head. His eyes shone with an unusual light as he looked at the Witch.

"Let’s go! We can find a place to gamble for real!" the Witch said, to his surprise.

"Eh, I’m not playing, but if you want we can have some tea," Chu Xian said helplessly.

The Witch’s expression changed back and forth – she was a streamer and a magician; though the cards in her hand seemed normal, any good magician could figure out something was off. If Chu Xian wasn’t a magician, then he had to be a pro-gambler. Just judging from past experience, he was probably the latter. This situation made her curious and she wanted to figure him out.

But Chu Xian’s straightforward answer rendered her speechless. All she could do for a moment was stand and stare at him.

"Why don’t you both come into my shop and sit?" Chu Xian graciously extended the invitation—he had some ideas of his own as well.

"Okay!" the Witch agreed without hesitation. Her eyes brightened as she curiously asked, "What's your shop? Is it a casino?"

Chu Xian’s face turned black. Without any pleasantry, he replied, "Where do you think we are? Macao? A casino?!"

After saying these words, he walked to the small shop nearby and took out the keys.

"Ah? This?" the Witch said, with some disappointment. The store had the three words ‘Ornamental Fish Shop’ carved onto a wooden board hanging in front.

Chu Xian didn’t pay her any mind; it was best if they came in, but it didn’t matter much to him if they didn’t—his idea would just go smoother if they helped him.

"You sell small goldfish?" the girls asked after walking into the shop and seeing all the tanks and fish.

"Of course. I’m just an ornamental fish vendor, not some magician, and certainly not a god of gambling like you thought! Water?" Chu Xian asked.

"I’m not thirsty. Then how'd you know which card was which?" the Witch asked curiously.

"I just have a good memory. When you showed me the cards, I remembered the order," Chu Xian lied.

"That simple?" the Witch said in disbelief.

"That simple. I really don’t know any magic tricks, and I definitely don’t have any gambling skills!" Chu Xian said with a shrug.

"Fine then!" the Witch said, disappointed. Looking at Chu Xian’s honest expression and at the fish in his shop, she turned away, bored.

"Okay, can I ask you a question?" Chu Xian asked hurriedly when he saw her preparing to leave.

"What kind of question? I didn’t lose to you, so if you ask any weird questions I’m not going to answer!" the Witch replied with a wary look.

"Eh..." Chu Xian muttered, a little speechless. Waving his hand he said, "It’s nothing like that. I just wanted to ask—if you help me sell my fish online, how much would that cost?"

"You want me to sell fish?" the Witch said, full of surprise. Pointing at the ornamental fish she said, "You're asking me to advertise your shop, selling these small fish? You’re better off without me; the advertising fee would be more expensive than all these fish together!"

"Of course I’m not asking you to advertise these common ornamental fish. If I want you to stream the fish I want, how much would that be?" Chu Xian asked again.

"Eh, this?" the Witch said hesitantly. "I’ve never done any advertising, much less advertising on a stream. I think I’ll pass."

Chu Xian was a little disappointed at the Witch’s refusal, but after thinking a little, he asked again, "Then where do you think would be the best place to advertise ornamental fish?"

"I’m also not sure, but if you want to sell your fish, you can try the Fast Hands app. You can post videos of your fish or stream them live and introduce them that way!" the Witch suggested.

"Fast Hands," Chu Xian muttered. He immediately used his phone to download the app. He’d played with this app for a little bit before, and it had some funny videos, big boobs and slender leg videos—pretty much an entertainment platform—but after he switched phones, he hadn’t bothered to download it again.

"You also use this Fast Hands app?" Chu Xian lifted his head and asked.

"Of course! I have more than two million fans!" the Witch replied with some satisfaction.

"Oh? What's your account number? Let me check it out."

Chu Xian looked at the Witch’s profile, and it was true—she did have two million plus fans. He said, "Okay then beautiful lady(1), can you follow me? I’ll post some goldfish videos later. If you want any, I’ll give you a discount!"

The Witch’s mouth twitched, but she didn't refuse. "Fine, give me your account number and I'll follow you."

"En," Chu Xian nodded.

The two girls left after a few more minutes. Afterwards, Chu Xian immediately closed the door. Turning towards the hundred plus goldfish, he began to remold them one at a time.

By the time night came, Chu Xian had only molded a little over fifty of the goldfish divided among eight varieties in five hours—remolding was both time and energy consuming.

After rubbing his eyes a little, Chu Xian turned back to his beautiful, luxurious goldfish. Smiling, he scooped out a Panda Goldfish and put it into a small tank by itself. Chu Xian took out his phone and started filming with the app.

After filming a couple of different videos, Chu Xian chose the one that he liked best, and after some thought, he wrote in the text section: "Selling all kinds of precious ornamental goldfish. Panda Goldfish video—price 2000 RMB. If you’re interested, please add me on WeChat: 15xxxxxx."

Chu Xian clicked the ‘Submit’ button and reviewed his ‘My Works’ tab with satisfaction.

Pushing open the shop door, Chu Xian left and looked for a restaurant to have dinner.

After returning, Chu Xian started his battle once again and continued remolding until all the fish had been transformed. After stopping an hour to midnight, Chu Xian looked at all the tanks full of exquisite goldfish with a face full of excitement.

After taking out his mat and blanket, Chu Xian dove under the covers and took out his phone. Opening the Fast Hands app, he clicked on the ‘My Works’ tab.

"Thirty thousand clicks?" Chu Xian said with shock. "It looks like I’m trending!"

Chu Xian happily looked through the trending searches and started reading the comments. Having so many people viewing his work could spread the news about his goldfish quickly.

[Female classmate: Hi guys I am planning to buy this nice dress do you think it will look good on me?] 

In just a heartbeat Jeon il types in supersonic speed. 

[Jeon il: I think that would certainly look fabulous on you, I've never seen any type of clothing that will look bad if you are the one wearing it.]

[Female Classmate: Aww really? Thank you jeon il you're just being nice again as usual.]

Jeon il was just about to type "No problem" when an ad suddenly pops up


[Are you a SIMP?]

[Well you probably are]

"The heck is this?" Kim jeon il muttered.

[Do you think you're a nice guy?]

"Well yeah"

[IF so then you're probably a SIMP] 

"Simp your ass I'm a nice guy"Kim jeon il said, he then looks around and thought 'Is this some kind of prank?' 


[Worry not as we are offering a limited time app]

[This app will be your companion as you venture to be the greatest SIMP] 

[Do you desire power?] 

"Power? Who the hell even made this game?"Jeon il said as he thought that whoever make this might have some 8th grader syndrome.

[If so then install this App]

<RISE OF THE ULTIMATE SIMP>

[The 60 seconds limited time has started.]

"Tch just wasted my time, ill just continue chatting with my female classmates." He said as he close the ad but then it suddenly came back again. 

Just as he was about to close it again a new text appeared. 

[Do you desire money?] 

"Money?" Kim jeon il pondered as he thought that money attract girls.' An app that can give money? I tried some apps, but they all give a negligible amount, well I'll just uninstall it if this is some kind of scam.'

[You have 30 seconds remaining]

He looks beside him as he just finishes reading a book that he could definitely say one of the best book in existence, the book called <Diary of a Simpy kid>

He then looks at his phone again 

[15 seconds remaining till the offer expires] 

After a few seconds of thinking Kim Jeon il finally decided 

"You son of a b*tch, I'm in" And he clicks the installation button

The moment he clicks the installation button is just as quickly as the installation finishes. 

"Welp that was fast, it might just be a few hundred kilo bytes."

Jeon il tap the home button, and as he expected there's a new app in the home panel 

<Rise Of the Ultimate SIMP>

He then taps it and was agape to what he saw 

A Highly super detail hyper realistic 3D model of himself, jeon il unconsciously drop his phone as he saw him, his self wearing just a brief and standing, he was bewildered as to how real looking this is, other than being shock as to why this game has himself basically copied, the one thing that filled up his mind. 

"Sugui! Just a few hundred kilo bytes could produce such high quality app?? Just by the graphics alone it would at least be a few GB of space."Jeon il was astonished as to how far the technology has progressed. 

"But then how can this app have a detailed model of myself? Did the company specifically choose me as the only player, and already did research on me beforehand? Probably not I'm too insignificant in the society, I'm also not popular."Jeon il think of ways of how this is done and only end up in one conclusion. 

"The moment I open the app it must have probably scanned all my photos in my gallery, and then using all of that photos to create an accurate model of mine."Jeon il nodded as he agrees in his own conclusion. 

"Well too much time has been wasted lets see what can this app offers."Jeon il then look around the screen as he saw a lot of functions with locked symbol, and a two functions that is unlocked, it says shop and storage. 

"Is there some kind of tutorial? At least teach me some basic things." Just as he was about to tap the shop button a text suddenly appear in his screen. 

[Hello player, first and foremost thank you for installing our game, as you can see there's only two functions as of the moment, in Shop you can buy things such as Skills, weapons, armors, items, etc... As to how you can buy things this game has a currency called Simp coins, by using simp coins you can do a lot of things in this app, you're probably wondering why how to get simp coins right? Well if you're not that stupid you'll probably figure out that you can acquire the coins by doing what a SIMP does, as to what is storage, you can actually store things there just think that you want to put the thing there and kaching it's in the storage, OK I will not explain a lot of things you can figure it out yourself, Well then good luck on becoming the Ultimate SIMP] 

As he read the text, the longer he reads the more he thought that whoever comes up with these things must have good imagination 

"I'm a nice guy not a SIMP, and what is this storage about?" After reading all the text jeon il then look at his 3d model and still in awe as to how accurate it is, he then tap his body and some kinds of statistics shows in his screen. 

 
<<Player: Kim Jeon il>>
Age: 17
Race: Asian
Specie: Modern human 

Constitution: 7

Strength: 7

Agility: 7

Intelligence: 7

Appearance : 5

"Well, this app really must have dive deep into my well-being, they even did something like this."Jeon il said as he thought that a count of 10 must be an average for a regular person, jeon il was never an athletic person and the representation of this number was pretty accurate.

It was at this moment that a chat head pop up in his screen.

It was their group chat.

[female classmate(2): Can someone tell me how to answer the question in number 8?]

And of course, jeon il with his 'nice guy instinct' tapped speedily on his phone.

[Jeon il: Ohh that? No problem I'll send PM you the answer and how did I get it.]

[Female classmate(2): Really? Thank you then, you are really a nice person jeon il]

After that jeon il pm her the answer to that question as well as how to did he get that answer, jeon il was never an intelligent person, but he can at least do these things to help his classmates.(A/N: You mean female classmates? You Effin SIMPPPPP!!)

After that a notification sound can be heard coming from his phone. 

[Congratulations you earned 5 SIMP COINS] 

Jeon il then saw a currency in the top right corner of his screen, a gold coin with an S symbol on it

And a new text appeared

[Do you want to convert the 5 SIMP COINS into 1 SIMP POINT?] 

"SIMP POINT? What does it do?"Jeon il just said it to the phone without expecting an answer but to his surprise it actually responded. 

[ SIMP POINTS can be used to increase your stats.] 

Jeon il nodded and convert it into a SIMP POINT 

A new currency appeared beside the SIMP COINS 

A platinum colored coin with an S on it. 

Jeon il, with enough IQ understand what he needs to do next. 

"Lets see." He then looked at the stats again, beside them there's a plus button.

<<Player: Kim Jeon il>>
Age: 17
Race: Asian
Specie: Modern human 

Constitution: 7 [+] 

Strength 7 [+]

Agility: 7 [+]

Intelligence: 7 [+]

Appearance : 5 [+]

Before there's no plus sign but now that he have a simp point it must have activated 

With a 1 point he is thinking where he can put it. 

"To think that I'm actually just half as attractive as a regular person, if I put this point on other attributes I may not feel the change since 7 is pretty close to 10, but putting it in appearance I might saw some noticeable changes in my 3d model."Jeon il thought as he put a point in his appearance making it 6. 

After saving the changes the screen suddenly zooms in, in his face, suddenly changes could be seen, although mealy negligible there's actually some changes, the skin in his face looks to be a little smoother than before and a pimple vanishes in his 3d model, and a few changes, but still pretty much negligible. 

"Hmm I see, are they using real time editing 3d model editing tool?"Jeon il said. 

"Also the app recognize when I'm being a nice guy, the app must have been reading his messages."Jeon il thought that such cheap tricks could not fool him. 

He sighs then turn off his phone 

"..... "Silence 

He looks in the reflection of his face in the phone. 

"Hmm? Where's my pimple?"Jeon il said and he widens his eyes. 

Suddenly running into the nearest mirror. 

"WHAT!"Jeon il look in a mirror, he turns on his phone again, quickly opening the app, look at his 3d model face. At that moment he gasps and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He looks in a mirror again, He looks exactly the same as his 3d model, well of course but, what he means is the minuscule changes before have transpired also in the real version of himself. 

Jeon il then looks around, grabbing the nearest thing he could found, he saw the book <The Diary of a Simpy kid> and quickly grab it. 

"How do I put this in the storage??"Jeon il could not help but raise his voice a little. 

[Do you want to put <The Diary of a Simpy kid> in the storage?] 

Jeon il doesn't care anymore if it was using voice recognition as to how the app can hear him and quickly said yes. 

"Yes." Suddenly the book in his hands disappears. 

[The object has been successfully added in the storage.]

Jeon il saw the book in the storage slot. 

It was at this moment that he realize something. 

With pure determination in his eyes he said. 

"I want to be a SIMP."

What would happen if a SIMP was given an app that could make him rise in power?

This is exactly what happens to our MC Kim jeon il

But then there is some things that have changed.

Arriving at his school he notice some things.

"Martial arts? Student council? Magic?"

..
its very difficult to get the same position platform back once u leave...so never leave left ur place ...there's always some1 to take that.... be strong  as am trying heree :! .

Others may not know this but writing is hard especially for first time writers. Experts would say that the first novel would always turn out your worst. This is why I call this novel trash to motivate myself and improve.

Trash is to lessen the readers high expectations and hard to please personalities.

A lot would say that the pace is too slow or too fast. Many would say that it needs more sensual stuff or it needs less sensual stuff.

A lot of cotradictory nagging that you can't wrap your head on what to follow. So, I designated everything as trash.

I have compiled a list of points to improve on and hopefully make this novel a better trash. These are also the readers that are insightful and are expert critics that never failed in their craft.

●_Excalibur_
 - said that there plotholes from just reading chapter 1. She said that the MC was dumb for being lazy and suddenly wanting to grow strong after being thrown alone
 - she did not read further chapters that explained why his family believed him to be lazy.
 - New flash though, MC was being disowned so he could never go back to his family. She never got past the next chapters that explain why the MC was being somewhat lazy in the first place.
●BoobsLicker
 - does not like the idea of a talking system because the author's take on originality about system conversation is unacceptable for him.
 - said that this novel has mature content but has hentai manga.
 - said that it is unpassionate.
 - even politely saying that he will never go back in a chapter comment.
 - vowed to never read this novel again
●Suriel8224
 - opposite to BoobsLicker because all he wants is how sex is plot
 - posted a review just to spite the novel
 - does not like the idea of cultivation in a lust title novel
 - he must not have really read the tags that say Action and Adventure
●DanteMorningStar
 - declared that he would leave webnovel after reading this novel and posting a review.
 - guess what he is still in the app reading some other novels
●MagmaEater
 - he does not like grammar and math but complains why 'estimate' was used in a sentence involving 4,000 gold
 - he says that the novel is unreasonable
 - wants backstory to meeting the triplets and is not satisfied with their desperation
●DaoistPureEvil
 - agrees that this novel is trash and reads it anyway
 - he is actually a greater reader compared to all others in this list. I hope.
●Dao_of_Forever
 - does not seem to like reading about LGBTQ+
 - somewhat accused author as a drug addict
 - his own words say 'LGBTQ+ really nigga are u high or something

Just a heads up, this novel is basically a mix of ideas and inspired from all the R-18 Novels that I've read this summer of 2020 (AST, TLS, TSSS, PPod, LK, ir, TPEC, HPSS, EaWwaS).

"I'm Dokja." [1]

I usually introduced myself to people like this, then the following misunderstanding would occur.

"Oh, are you an only child?"

"I am, but that isn't what I mean."

"Huh? Then?"

"My name is Dokja. Kim Dokja."

Kim Dokja (Highly Respected Only Son)—my father gave me that name to be a strong man by myself. However, thanks to the name my father gave me, I turned out to be just a normal single and lonely man. In short, it was like this: I was Kim Dokja, 28 years old, and single. My hobby was reading web novels on the subway.

"Then I'll go on my smartphone."

In a noisy subway, I raised my head reflexively. A pair of curious eyes were staring straight at me. They belonged to an employee from the human resources team, Yoo Sangah.

"Ah, hello." I greeted her.

"Are you going home from work?"

"Yes. What about Yoo Sangah-ssi?" [2]

"I was lucky. The manager went on a business trip today." Yoo Sangah sat down soon as the seat next to me became vacant. A subtle scent came from her shoulders, making me nervous.

"Do you normally take the subway?"

"That…" Yoo Sangah made a dark expression. Come to think of it, this was the first time I'd met Yoo Sangah on a subway train. Starting with Personnel Manager Kang to Finance Manager Han… There were rumors that Yoo Sangah had men from the company driving her home every workday. Yet unexpected words came from Yoo Sangah's mouth, "Someone stole my bicycle."

Bicycle.

"You commute by bike?"

"Yes! I have a lot of overtime these days and seem to be lacking exercise. It is a bit annoying, but it is worth doing."

"Aha, I see."

Yoo Sangah smiled. Looking closer at her, I could understand the feelings men held toward her. However, it was none of my business. Every person had a genre of life, and Yoo Sangah was someone who lived a genre different from myself. After the awkward conversation, we looked at our phones. I opened up the novel app I was reading on before while Yoo Sangah… What was this?

"Por favor dinero."

"Huh?"

"Spanish."

"…I see. What does it mean?"

"Please give me some money," Yoo Sangah replied proudly. Studying on the subway while going home… She truly had a genre different from me. However, what was the use of memorizing words?

"You're working hard."

"By the way, what is Dokja-ssi looking at?"

"Ah, I…"

Yoo Sangah's gaze was fixed on the LCD screen of my smartphone. "Is it a novel?"

"Yes, well… I am studying Korean."

"Wow, I also like novels. I haven't been able to read lately because I don't have time…" It was surprising. Yoo Sangah liked reading novels…? "Novels like Murakami Haruki, Raymond Carver, Han Kang…"

I thought so.

Yoo Sangah asked, "Dokja-ssi, what writers do you like?"

"You won't know even if I say their names."

"I've read a lot of novels. Who are the authors?"

At this time, it was really hard to say that I read web novels as a hobby. I glanced at the title of the novel in the app.

[The World after the Fall]

Author: Sing Shangshong. [3]

I couldn't say that I was reading 'The World after the Fall by Sing Shangshong.'

"It is just a fantasy novel. That… Well, like the Lord of the Rings…"

Yoo Sangah's eyes widened. "Aha. Lord of the Rings. I've seen the movie."

"The movie is good."

The silence continued for a moment. Yoo Sangah was looking at me like she was waiting for me to say something. Our conversation was becoming strained. So, I decided to change the topic. "It has been a year since I joined the company. This is my last year. Time moves really fast."

"Yes. At that time, we both knew nothing, right?"

"That's right. It seems like just yesterday, but the contract period is already over." I realized that I'd said something wrong when I saw Yoo Sangah's expression.

"Ah, I…" Yoo Sangah trailed off.

I had forgotten. Yoo Sangah received credit for a foreign buyer last month and was already promoted to a full-time employee.

"Ah, right. My congratulations are late. I'm sorry. Haha, I should've worked hard to study a foreign language."

"Ah, no Dokja-ssi! There is still the performance review and…"

I hated to admit it, but the sight of Yoo Sangah talking was wonderful. It was like the world's spotlight was shining down on only one person. If this world was a novel, the protagonist would be such a person. In fact, it was the inevitable result. I hadn't tried, but Yoo Sangah made an effort. I just read novels on the Internet, while Yoo Sangah studied hard. It was natural that Yoo Sangah would become a full-time employee, and that my contract would be terminated.

"That… Dokja-ssi."

"Yes."

"If you don't mind… Would you like to know the app I use?" Yoo Sangah's voice momentarily became distant. It felt like the world was far away. I braced my mind and stared straight ahead. A boy was sitting in the seat opposite me on the train. He was 10 years old or so. The boy held an insect collecting net as he sat next to his mother, laughing happily.

"…Dokja-ssi?"

What if I had a different life from now? I mean, what if my life genre was different?

"Kim Dok…"

If the genre of my life wasn't 'realism' but 'fantasy'… Could I be the protagonist? I didn't know. It would probably be unknown forever. However, there was one thing I knew.

"It is okay, Yoo Sangah-ssi."

"Huh?"

"It won't work even if you tell me the app." The genre of my life was obviously 'realism.' "Dokja has a solo life."

"Huh? What…"

"I am just someone like that."

In this genre, I wasn't a protagonist but a 'solo' person.

"The life of a solo…" Yoo Sangah had a serious expression on her face. I waved my hands to show it was really okay. I didn't know why, but this person was really worried about me. Maybe because she was part of the personnel department… I was already aware of my performance though.

"Dokja-ssi is really good."

"Yes?"

"Then I will live an ivory life."  [4]

Yoo Sangah seemed to have decided something as she turned back to studying Spanish. I gazed at her for a while before returning to the novel. Everything had returned to normal, but strangely, my scrolling of the novel didn't go well. Maybe it was because I realized the weight of reality that I couldn't scroll down.

At that time, a notification appeared at the top of my smartphone. [You have one new mail.]

It was from the author of 'Ways of Survival.' I opened the mail.

-Reader-nim, my novel will become paid from 7 p.m. This will be helpful. Good luck. [5]

[1 attachment.]

The author said he would give me a gift. What was the gift?

…Like my name, I was also a reader by nature. So, I was excited to receive the mail. Yes, it wasn't bad living as a reader. I checked the time. It was 6:55 p.m. I had exactly five minutes before the novel became monetized at 7 p.m. Then I opened up my list of preferred novels in the app. Since I was the only reader, I should leave a congratulatory comment and give strength to the author. However…

-The work doesn't exist.

I tried typing 'ruined' several times in the search box, but the result was the same. The bulletin board for 'Ways of Survival' had disappeared without a trace. It was strange. Had there ever been a case of a novel being deleted without notification when it was going to be monetized?

At that moment, the subway lights turned off, and the inside of the train became dark.

Kiiiiiiiik-! The subway train shook loudly and let out a metallic sound. It caused Yoo Sangah to scream and grab my arm. Then I heard the sound of other people getting stirred up. Yoo Sangah gripped my arm so tightly that I paid more attention to the pain in my left arm than the sudden stop. It took a dozen seconds for the train to stop fully.

Then I heard confused voices coming from everywhere.

"Uh, what?"

"W-What is this?"

In the dark, one or two smartphone lights turned on. Yoo Sangah still held my left arm tightly as she asked, "W-What is going on?"

I pretended to be unconcerned. "Don't worry. It isn't a big deal."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, it is probably a disturbance from a suicide. The engineer will soon make an announcement."

As I finished speaking, I heard the engineer's announcement, -Telling all passengers on the train. Telling all passengers on the train.

The loud surroundings became calm. I sighed and opened my mouth, "See, it isn't a big deal. Now an apology will air, and the power will come back on…"

-E-Everyone run away… Run…!

'What?'

There was a beeping sound, and the broadcast turned off. The inside of the train became a mess.

"D-Dokja-ssi? What is this…?"

A bright light flashed from the front of the subway train. There was a loud drumming sound followed by a pop. Something was heading this way in the darkness. It was just a coincidence that I saw the clock at this moment—7:00 p.m.

Tick, it felt like the world was stopping. Then I heard a voice:

[The free service of planetary system 8612 has been terminated.]

[The main scenario has started.]

This was the moment the genre of my life changed.


[1] Dokja= can mean only son or reader

[2] -ssi: -ssi (씨) is the most commonly used honorific used amongst people of approximately equal speech level.

[3] The author uses the name of his previous novel and his author name, but with slight changes. I decided to go with the actual novel translation name while keeping the author's different name for any fans of the novel.

[4] Sangah=ivory

[5] nim (님) is the highest form of honorifics and above -ssi.

Only I know the end of this world.
One day our MC finds himself stuck in the world of his favorite webnovel. What does he do to survive? It is a world struck by catastrophe and danger all around.
His edge? He knows the plot of the story to end. Because he was the sole reader that stuck with it. Read his story to see how he survives!
