Don't Mess with That No. 1 Player, She's More Devious Than the Game

The rating just came out. It'll go up! (>^ω^<)

[Game Invasion + No Romance + Survival + Instance Challenges]

On an utterly ordinary day, gaming streamer Xin Jiu cleared the full-immersion survival tower-climbing game Codename: Divine Descent.

One moment, the system was still announcing that she was the only player in the world to clear the game.

The next, a major version update arrived. The game's Trial Tower descended into reality, and everyone who had participated in the open beta had to enter the tower within six hours to begin playing, earning points for their countries and competing for rankings.

The countries at the bottom of each round's rankings would face an invasion of supernatural horrors.

Xin Jiu: "As the only player in the world who's cleared the game, so what if there's a version update? I can still beat the whole thing."

But she never expected the game's instances to be restructured, the difficulty to rise, or the wooden NPCs from the open beta to develop minds of their own.

The whole world wailed, convinced it was all over.

Only the people of Jiuzhou smiled calmly. "As long as we have Jiujiu, Jiuzhou is invincible."

[Content Note 1: The squad members come together later in the story: five women and two men. There is no romance within the team, not even one-sided crushes.]

[Content Note 2: The heroine is softhearted, but she's no pushover. The story is female-centered, but she isn't an all-powerful leading lady. This is a highly satisfying power fantasy focused primarily on leveling up. The heroine needs time to change.]

[Content Note 3: The author's writing skills are limited, so there will be holes in the logic.]

[A thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts. The author's abilities are limited, and it's impossible to avoid everyone's deal-breakers. Even a brief encounter is a kind of fate. Wishing you safety and fabulous wealth~~]
