Just the fact that I came back couldn’t be the end of everything.

[Infinite Knowledge Quiz]
Question: When you return home and find a ghost resting on your bed, you rush to the door, only to hear eerie noises outside. You look out through the peephole and see another ghost preparing to open your front door. What should you do in this situation?... more>>

Among various answers like “hide in the shoe cabinet” or “hide in the kitchen,” Jie Fangcheng chooses to slowly draw his sword: first, kill the one on the bed, and then kill the one in the elevator.

***
After working diligently for 1,500 years in the underworld, Jie Fangcheng finally retired as an outstanding employee.
His kind-hearted boss asked him, “Would you like to return to the mortal world? That way, you can continue your work as a 007 agent in the underworld after a hundred and eighty years.”
Jie Fangcheng nodded in agreement.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an infinite game.
The game, “Do Not Respond,” was renowned for its horror, bloodshed, and cruelty. The survival rate in its dungeons did not exceed thirty percent, and death in the game meant real-life death.
Mysterious mountain villages.
Terrifying fairy tale towns.
Apocalyptic Battle Royales…

As players contemplated how to survive in the dungeons, Jie Fangcheng diligently guided and redeemed each NPC.
Jie Fangcheng: “Hello, I’m a recently retired department manager… and now I’m back on the job!”

***
It is said that a newcomer has entered the game, and the dungeon they entered has never been reset.

***
It is also said that someone witnessed NPCs panicking and running around.
Player: How is that possible…

Jie Fangcheng stabbed the ghost leader with his sword, completing the redemption, and wiped his blade: “Who’s next?!”

#What kind of lousy game is this? ［Do Not Respond］but I’ll respond!

#Trying to steal people from the underworld? Did you ask us, the official personnel of the underworld?

Consumption Notes:
1. Not a leveling-focused story, starting at maximum level.
2. Attack and defense mechanics deviate from the traditional rules. The game allows for forced storyline alterations and NPC manipulation.
3. Features a significant number of supporting character perspectives, god-like viewpoint, but not a large ensemble cast. Main focus is on the protagonist and their romantic interest.
