'He is a really nice human. When I was dying, he took me home. He had had cup noodles for a long time in order to save money to pay for my treatment. He was fat and got fatter.'
'He ate cup noodles but bought me really neat cat food and treats. He cooked me homemade cat food and fish as well.'
'He doesn't go out and is afraid of other people.'
'Although he is a real butterball, he must be the best human in the world.'
'I know slender humans live longer. I wish him to be like those humans who have a partner and friends and become tall and thin...'
'I am dead already. He must be sad.'
...
'Please accompany him longer than I did.'
'Meow, encountering him is the best thing in my life.'
This is a fat yellow and white cat. It looks clean but has a truly ugly cat face. This cat is the ugliest cat that Ro Ginger has ever seen. It looks cute after staring at it for a while, a kind of ugly cute.
Ziyue Qin was an ordinary person. His parents died in a car accident when he was a freshman in high school. They left him a great legacy and compensation. It seems to be the start of a free life, but Qin was overwhelmed with sadness and depression that he had constant hallucinations. After a period of treatment of psychological counseling, Qin went back to school but he couldn't integrate with his classmates. He muddled on without any aim through high school and chose to stay home forever after graduation.
He doesn't want to use his parent's compensation, he lives on collecting rent from his parent's apartment and he doesn't need any extra provision.
In his free time, he began to play video games. One time his voice was complimented on as pleasing. With guidance from his net friends, he learned about dubbing, over. He became popular online as a result of his unique and songful voice and talent. He was known as Childe Yue as a voice actor/character voice.
A girl from the cosplay circle named Bunny added him and chatted with him. The feelings warmed up their relationship and Qin even promised to marry her. He bought things that she liked online for her even if he had to live on cup noodles to save money.
Later he picked up a dying cat on the street, the treatment cost him more than ten thousand yuan. Bunny also showed sympathy and she didn't ask for anything from Qin during the treatment. They still had a good relationship. Bunny worried about Qin who was spending lots of time and money on a cat and she even bought him lunch once...
Then Bunny asked him to take a photo of himself because he had not posted any selfies online.
He was a fat otaku.
Bunny felt that she was deceived. She deleted some and added some shit to their relationship and posted their story online.
For a time, the news of a fat otaku deceiving a pretty cosplayer sprang up across the web. People blamed Qin only.
Qin didn't touch any anime related things anymore. He didn't accept voice acting requests and didn't try to explain this news. He decided to let go of the gifts he sent to Bunny. He deleted their chat history in which Bunny's sexually explicit words and her panting voice, photos of her legs, and other arousing photos of her. He exited the circles totally.
He still stays home, but much more decadent.
He has no friends.
His cat died after he had adopted it for a year.
The veterinarian told him that this cat had suffered too much before the adoption and that its life was shortened as a result.
He buried the cat near his parent's grave because he believed that a family should stay together. Then he dragged his fat body back home.
Qin has depression days and nights and doesn't want to talk to anyone. Even when he doesn't feel well, he is unwilling to go to see the doctor.
He wanted to lose weight, but that was just a thought. He has been living in this dark room and has given up on his body shape.
Maybe no one will find out if he died here.
Ro doesn't have a body this time, so she enters Qin's computer to be a flexible and hidden set of data.
Qin's computer has high configurations. Before he got the cat, he had money and bought this expensive equipment for his voice acting.
His voice is unique and recognizable. His fans would find out him if he registered a new name.
Qin sits down at the computer and opens a web game, planning to play it for a whole day and sleep if he needs to.
A game website opens automatically with elegant music.
Qin is sensitive about music and sometimes he has hope again when he listens to music.
Although he dislikes these pop-up websites, he doesn't close this one.
The game is a wuxia game of Tang dynasty. It has excellent graphics and characters. It also has life skills and is suitable for grinders, afkers, chatters, etc. All types of players can find their place in this wuxia game. A few got married in real life after meeting in this wuxia game.
Qin reads it and is going to close it.
The page pops up the registration option.
The music has changed into an eagerly style song.
Qin chooses not to close it and types "LonelyLamp" as his in-game name (ign). He chooses Shaolin as his class.
He is not going to have any sex scandals.
Women are trouble.
Maybe it was just because he was dumb.
Qin picks an ordinary body shape and chooses the default ordinary face. His character doesn't have any feature and he enters the game.
Qin is a solo player. He doesn't talk with other players and ignores others' requests as well. He just grinds and does game quests every day and moves up levels slowly.
This game is actually fun.
Qin is not bad at video games. He has played other games before and has fast reactions. Being a solo player is not a problem for him.
Every time he wants to play longer, his computer will pop up a tip—Playing too much might cause a sudden death. As a result, he yawns and closes the game. It is not because he listens to the tip or values his life, but he doesn't want to proceed with the game too fast and lose interest after which his life will be boring again.
Anyway, when did his antivirus program become so?
Qin's laziness has broken Ro's world view.
She cannot do anything but to slowly change his schedule.
He doesn't talk with anyone.
He never writes things like "The boundless darkness of life has drowned me", or "What is the meaning of my life? I am going to kill myself", or "More pain and less happiness." He is quiet and restrained and looks like a meek butterball.
He posted on his blog and Facebook in the past. He deleted his blog and all his friends on Facebook. If there were that many pictures of his cats on Facebook, he would have deleted his Facebook account as well.
Ro reads through his posts: "Ergo wakes me up with his butt every morning"; "Ergo looks ugly as usual", etc. It is hard to believe him to be a fat lazy otaku who never goes out for fun in real life.
He never shows his feelings. In the past, he might talk with his cat when he was happy.
His room is not dirty, but it is kinda cold because he hasn't put away the curtain for a long time.
A badly sewed scarf is on the sofa.
Qin used to play with his cat and told it that this scarf was handmade by Bunny.
Bunny sent him gifts as well such as snacks, postcards, her photos. These weren'texpensive but Qin was happy to have them.
He has put them all away, except for the scarf.
His cat liked to lie on the scarf.
Qin is a nice man. Ro wants to help him even without his cat's request.
Ro picks this wuxia game after her evaluation of all the games. She believes that Qin can make some friends in this game. Her plan was to wait until he's made enough friends and then she could filter some out and make him a normal social connection...
She sees that Qin is basically unapproachable and has to do it by herself.
Qin has seen this girl in the game many times.
Her equipment is garbage. She dies a lot from doing daily quests and has to lie on the ground and then revives.
Qin doubts if she even knows how to zazen to recover her health.
Qin has nothing to do with this poor girl.
He passes by her again and sees some players just killed her so he kills these players and leaves.
He wouldn't help her if her in-game name wasn't"Ergotoldmetopatrol".
The next day, he sees her on the ground dead again.
The trash players who killed her yesterday killed her again. They couldn't take revenge on him so they picked on the girl again.
He doesn't know how many times she has been killed because her level is lower than yesterday's.
Qin decides and manages to kill these trash players and take her away.
"LonelyLamp's friend request."
Ro is happy. Now he is finally going to make friends!
"LonelyLamp sent you a Name Change. Use it now?"
Ro refuses.
LonelyLamp: 'Change your ign so they can't find you.'
Ergotoldmetopatrol: 'My name is great. I'm not changing it.'
Qin decides to let her go and logs off.
He believes that she will change her name after she is killed more.
The next day when Qin is clearing his daily quests, he sees that she has changed her ign.
She looks more wretched than before.
Her white equipments are nearly broken and she is dead on the ground.
The reason why he can recognize her at the beginning is that this girl has changed her ign to "KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman".
KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: 'Elite! Elite, carry me...'
Qin decides to ignore her.
KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: 'Awawaw...Why did they bully me so much...'
She is so bad at playing. She must be an elementary kid.
Qin believes that she will give up and go back to study soon.
KillyourdaddyErgoifyouareaman: 'Elite! Elite! Meowmeowmeow! Meowmeowmeow! I am cute! Carry me!'
They are still on each other's friend list.
Qin looks at her lowering level and plans to delete her after she has learned how to control her character from him.
A kid like her will look for trouble in any video game.
