“I’m actually a cannon fodder character?”
Pei Shu—formerly a top-tier university elite and a genius game producer, now a useless cannon fodder character—rubbed his chin: “Interesting.”
His once perfectly planned life was thrown into utter chaos after being selected by the will of the plot to serve as cannon fodder. Since his original plans have already been destroyed, he decides to tear everything down and rebuild an even more brilliant future!
As for that so-called ‘Power Fantasy Protagonist’? Pei Shu’s peach-blossom eyes curved into a slight smile: “May the best man win.”
Soon after, a game studio named “Unbeatable” quietly emerged, gradually setting off a tidal wave across the entire world—
Theater 1:
The original protagonist was reborn with a “King of Games System.” Returning to an era before many genius designers had found success, he was full of confidence and ready to strike:
Protagonist: “Players are sick of endless, trashy ‘pay-to-win’ games. We need to make a true zero-microtransaction game!”
Employee: “Boss! Unbeatable Studio’s trashy ‘pay-to-win’ cultivation game is trending #1!”
Protagonist: “…?”
Protagonist: “Single-player games lose money? That’s just because idiots don’t understand players! Watch me release an innovative single-player game and sweep the sales charts!”
Employee: “Boss! Unbeatable Studio’s retro-style single-player game is sweeping the sales charts!”
Protagonist: “…?!”
Later, at the “GAME” gala—known as the Oscars of the global gaming industry—the stars were shining bright. Pei Shu, holding the Game of the Year award, looked conflicted: “I really didn’t mean to make a blockbuster…”
Theater 2:
After breaking free from the will of the plot, Pei Shu saved many other geniuses who were also being suppressed by the script. However, as he kept saving them, the way these geniuses looked at him began to change.
Genius A: “Xiao Shu, our gaming philosophies are a perfect match…”
Genius B: “Xiao Shu, I want to make games with you forever!”
Genius C: “Xiao Shu, I—”
Studio Investor D: “Brother, look how amazing they are. Then there’s me… I can only be your little tail.”
Pei Shu (facepalming): “…Li Chuyue, enough. Shut up.”
