"Your computer isn't leaking electricity."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Master."

Lu Yuan watched the electrician's back as he left, then turned to look at his computer. After a moment of stunned silence, he sighed deeply: "Could it really be a cheat code?"

This story begins with a life simulation game that Lu Yuan downloaded.

He accidentally clicked on a game called "Moujing Entertainment City" yesterday, and the game is now stuck to his computer like glue.

The game will open automatically after installation.

As a result, Lu Yuan closed his eyelids and fell into a deep sleep.

If you can just fall asleep like this without any problem, it would be a blessing for insomnia sufferers.

Until he heard the notification sound of "The Sims" in his dream...

He initially thought it was just a simple dream, until he tried it a second time, refusing to believe it... and the process was the same—he automatically fell asleep and then a notification sound rang.

Upon waking up, Lu Yuan immediately called an electrician to come and check if the computer was leaking electricity.

He's probably been electrocuted and is unconscious.

But looking at it now... this thing really does seem like a cheat code.

Lu Yuan scratched his head.

Parents deceased, recovering from a serious illness, penniless, and with nowhere else to turn, all the negative influences have been stacked up...

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, sat in front of the computer, gently clicked the icon, and then lay heavily on the bed.

who cares.

Let's play first and then talk about it.

The familiar notification sound rang in my mind again...

The blackness before my eyes slowly rose like a curtain, and suddenly a rich patchwork of colors appeared.

The noise and the strong smell of disinfectant rushed into my brain all at once.

...

Welcome to the life simulation game.

Your Sim is an ordinary food delivery driver.

[Any profession is essentially ordinary; what truly makes you outstanding is your relentless self-improvement. Becoming the best food delivery rider should be your motto.]

Strive to become a great food delivery driver.

[Game duration: three months]

Rewards will be calculated based on individual performance.

Wait... a delivery driver? Stop giving me that pep talk!

Why would a delivery driver need your simulation? Can't I just go downstairs and run myself?

For an even better gaming experience, you'll be given a special ability: you're a highly skilled food delivery driver.

No? What's the use of being able to fight?

Who did the delivery driver hit? The customer?

What's the use of this trash ability!

You've received your first order, destined for the Central Hospital, addressed to Ms. Shang. You pick up the item at the supermarket—an ordinary fruit knife. You think Ms. Shang might be lacking tools for peeling apples.

At this moment, another order popped up on the food delivery app. The destination was the same, and the recipient was still Ms. Shang, but this time the item was from an adult toy store.

[This is a risqué bodycon dress with a crudely packaged bag and covered in black sequins. You're a little envious of Ms. Shang's husband; after all, Ms. Shang even makes peeling apples a fun experience.]

You arrived at the hospital, delivered the takeout to the designated storage area as per procedure, and then called Ms. Shang.

However, Ms. Shang informed you that she is receiving an IV drip alone at the hospital and it is inconvenient for her to pick up the goods. She hopes you can find a way to deliver them to her.

You could faintly hear sobbing on the other end of the phone; the trembling sobs combined with Ms. Shang's beautiful voice evoked a protective instinct in you.

[You sternly rejected Ms. Shang and vividly described the security guard's fierce, tiger-like gaze.]

Five seconds later, you happily agreed to Ms. Shang's request, then turned around, found a secluded corner, patted your chest, and declared that you were Wu Song (a legendary hero known for his bravery and skill), guaranteeing that you would deliver the takeout safely to her.

[Because Ms. Shang promised a five-yuan tip.]

[Listening to Ms. Shang repeatedly using polite phrases like "thank you for your trouble" and "thank you for your hard work," you shout: "Don't mention it! I'm a deliveryman for the people; the people's difficulties are my difficulties!"]

You lower your head and proudly murmur to yourself: Delivering takeout is also a form of spiritual practice.

You removed your signature yellow jacket and helmet, took off the fruit knife and the packaging of your lingerie, and, carrying the takeout in your hand, disguised yourself as an ordinary person, walking into the hospital amidst the astonished gazes of the security guards.

[You feel his gaze, and your mind conjures up a fantasy of a satisfying story, like a cold sneer that curls the corners of your lips: "You're so arrogant, try stopping me again."]

[Until you hear the security guard's voice behind you: You don't need to do that next time; the central hospital allows delivery riders to enter.]

You swear you'll never read another wish-fulfillment novel again.

You dialed Ms. Shang's number again and followed her directions to the top floor of the hospital.

[You've finally met Ms. Shang, who even wears sexy lingerie while peeling apples.]

A dilapidated rooftop passageway.

The smell of dust even overpowered the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

Lu Yuan, panting, pushed open the rooftop door and looked into the distance.

As the sun sets, standing on the rooftop, it feels as if you could reach out and touch the fiery clouds overhead.

A thin girl in a school uniform sat by the water tank on the rooftop. The northwest wind blew her hair and the hem of her school uniform, and the almost perfect natural light highlighted her flawless profile.

He rested his left hand, holding the IV drip bottle, on the side of the water tank for leverage. The shadow cast by the light on his arm blended with the bangs that were ruffled by the north wind in front of him.

Shadows are also part of aesthetics.

Lu Yuan admitted that Ms. Shang's level of depression was probably even greater than his own.

At the same time that Lu Yuan saw her, she also saw Lu Yuan.

Then her gaze fell over through her fluttering bangs.

She said, "I'm here."

Lu Yuan said, "The wind is so strong on the rooftop, it's easy to catch a cold."

He didn't ask Ms. Shang why she was allowed to go up to the rooftop, but it was inconvenient for her to go downstairs to pick up her takeout.

If the other person goes downstairs, will I still be able to earn that extra five yuan?

"I'll hold it for you."

"No need to trouble you."

"Taking the money is no trouble at all."

Lu Yuan first handed the items to Ms. Shang, then took the IV bottle with his right hand and casually took out his mobile phone payment QR code from his pocket with his left hand.

If you don't help hold it up, no one else will have the hands to pay.

"Okay, payment has been made."

Ms. Shang gestured for him to look at the payment information.

"Wasn't it five yuan? Why did you pay twenty-eight?"

Lu Yuan looked at the payment information in surprise, thinking to himself that good deeds are truly rewarded.

This deliveryman is truly a model citizen!

"I only have this much money left, there's no point in keeping it."

???

Lu Yuan looked down at the tear stains on Ms. Shang's face, then at the rooftop and the fruit knife in his hand.

He had a bad feeling.

"Wait, you wouldn't be...?"

This scene is hard not to remind people of "cutting their wrists on a deserted rooftop"!

"Alright, you can go now. Thank you for your help."

Ms. Shang gave them the order to leave.

"I really can't leave." Lu Yuan looked troubled, coughed twice, and said with a complicated expression, "Why don't you think about it again?"

He knew not to interfere with other people's fate.

He also knew that there was no such thing as true empathy in the world.

He also knew that one should not advise others to be strong if one has never experienced their suffering.

Can...

"Your fruit knife is covered in my fingerprints," Lu Yuan explained weakly.
