Players and Instances
People receive a badge and an ability card when selected as players. Refusing to become a player means death; failing to choose in time counts as acceptance. The badge fuses with the player and leaves a black bird mark on the palm 2 3.
- Instances assign players missions that can put them on opposing sides. In Devouring Villa, Zhu Yan was tasked with killing the Cannibal House landlord, while Guan En was tasked with protecting it and killing the threatening player 24 25.
- Rewards can include money, items, ability upgrades and time off. After clearing the Cat-and-Mouse Game, Zhu Yan received a 40,000-yuan bonus, ten days off and the single-use item Concealed but Unreleased 17.
- Non-players can be caught up in instances. In the Cat-and-Mouse Game, one civilian died and several people disappeared during an evacuation. Merry Happy Land stated that its mercy was reserved for players 17.
- Player services include a personal center, a forum and an online store with level-restricted goods. The forum warns users not to reveal Merry Happy Land or their player identities 2 8 24.
Currency and Transport
Merry Happy Land recognizes bone copper, silver and gold coins. Ten copper coins equal one silver coin, and ten silver coins equal one gold coin. During the earliest stage of integration, one yuan exchanged for one bone copper coin 8.
The Monster Tram travels between stops in Merry Happy Land and locations connected to the real world. After clearing Devouring Villa, Zhu Yan boarded it instead of immediately returning to reality; he selected a stop at No. 178, Plum Garden, in Anwu City 36 37 41.
Encroachment on Reality
Merry Happy Land’s descent is described as erosion. An item warned that police pursued Zhu Yan after he left an eroded city because they feared he might carry the threat elsewhere 18.
Its integration brings instances and horror creatures into contact with the human world. In Anwu City, Pseudo-humans emerged from a coffee shop at Myriad Forms Plaza, attacked people and returned inside 43. Mount Fangcun opposes Merry Happy Land’s encroachment and seeks allies to fight it 40.
Merry Happy Land stated that a Plague Ghost outbreak would greatly accelerate integration. After Zhu Yan contracted the plague, it granted him a ten-day exemption from illness but refused to proactively provide a curative instance because doing so would conflict with its objective 39.
Administration
Merry Happy Land centrally manages Cannibal Houses and assigns each one a landlord, who may sign a lease with the relevant department 25. The contract for Cannibal House A066 required its lessee, Plague Ghost Walter, to feed it fresh human flesh or uncontaminated livestock meat every fifty days and pay monthly rent 30.
