"Huff... huff..."
Ji Yang ran frantically through the village.
He was fully aware that he was dreaming.
Because the plot of this dream is exactly the same as the video he uploaded to his gaming blog account "Xiao Ji Crossing the Ocean Currents" at "17 minutes and 28 seconds"—no, it's now "11 minutes and 53 seconds"—the content is exactly the same.
—He is playing the "double happiness" game.
However, in his dream, there was no "exit game" button. He could only experience the video's content over and over again.
In particular, perhaps because the dream was entirely based on his video, even though he knew how to avoid risks at certain crucial moments, his body just wouldn't obey him. He could only watch helplessly as he reenacted the actions he had taken to test his death in the video, and then experience the agonizing death once again.
Repeated cycle, endless death...
Ji Yang had lost count of how many times he had died in this game, in this dream. He only knew that he wished he could smash his head against the wall right now and die early so he wouldn't have to experience the death prepared in the video again. He hoped that he could also end this endless cycle of death.
But sadly, he couldn't even do that.
He could only keep running forward desperately, trying to prolong the time he was caught by the unseen monster behind him.
Soon... He looked at the crooked tree by the roadside ahead. If he could get past that tree before being grabbed, he wouldn't be caught—
A sharp pain came from my chest.
"Cough cough cough..."
Ji Yang coughed up a mouthful of blood, and after looking down at his pierced chest, everything went black.
"Cough cough cough..."
A cough jolted Ji Yang awake from his nightmare, and he sat bolt upright in bed.
When he saw that he was surrounded by familiar surroundings, instead of the "囍" login screen that had given him PTSD, he let out a heavy sigh.
"Finally...it's over..."
He glanced at the time and realized it was almost time for him to wake up naturally, so he got out of bed decisively.
Anyway, he has no intention of going back to sleep now.
He feared he would fall back into that terrifying, recurring nightmare.
Ji Yang walked to the kitchen bar and poured himself a glass of water. Just as he was drinking, he caught a glimpse of his own face reflected in the glass next to him.
Looking at the particularly haggard figure in the reflection, Ji Yang cursed.
What kind of nonsense is this?!
He only took a game project, why should he have to endure all this?!
The thought of spending an entire night running away in his dream made Ji Yang angrier and angrier. He slammed his water glass on the bar counter and angrily pulled up his blog account, ready to delete the video about "囍"!
do not care!
So be it! It's practically the same as breaching the contract anyway!
He opened his account and was about to delete the video when he saw a lot of new comments appearing in the backend.
"what……"
Ji Yang remembered that he had released the video he was going to post last night ahead of schedule to test if it was a platform bug. By this time, his fans should have finished watching the video and left comments.
Ji Yang's mood, which had been quite upset by the nightmare, finally improved a bit, and he happily clicked on the comment notification.
Then, his smile froze on his face—
"Why were all the walkthrough sections for the 'Double Happiness' character removed? I read them before but didn't remember them!"
"Trashy game blogger! I thought your place would be different, but it turns out you also took money from '囍' and deleted all those strategy guides! I was wrong about you!"
"Let's call it a day. This blogger is obviously a spineless coward. He took the money and replaced the previous guide video... I'm unfollowing him..."
"The author of this '囍' (double happiness) is so petty! They have no class whatsoever. What's wrong with game bloggers sharing some guides? These bloggers haven't even streamed the entire game! Why demand they all delete it?!"
"You paid bloggers all seem to replace your videos at the same time every time..."
……
Upon seeing these comments, Ji Yang nearly fainted from anger.
What do you mean "replace video update time"?! That's clearly the update time displayed when he tries to re-upload the original video!
He clearly wanted to upload a strategy video! But instead, he was falsely accused of taking advantage of others!
He made easy money, but that's not what he was after!
Ji Yang was initially a little reluctant to see the video's views and comments decrease, but now, the newly emerging comments have made him feel no reluctance at all.
He found the video with the character "囍" in the background, and looking at the ominous cover with black background and red text, he clicked "delete" directly.
A "deletion successful" message popped up, and the heavy weight that had been pressing on Ji Yang's chest finally rolled away. The colors and sounds of the world seemed to rush back at that moment.
Ji Yang relaxed his body and let himself sink into the soft sofa. He picked up a bottle of nutrient solution and refreshed his backend while tearing it open.
After the video is deleted, those annoying comments will also disappear.
"How could this be...?"
Ji Yang stared at the video with black background and red text that was still sitting in his account's backend, watching the continuously rising number of views and comments. "Thud," the nutrient solution in his hand fell directly to the ground.
