Single and overweight, without a car or house, his work and life in complete disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that ever since the family upheaval in his senior year of college, his life had veered off its predetermined track, step by step becoming what it was now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After casually liking the post, Tang Song put down his phone, sat at his computer desk, donned his headphones, and prepared to play a game to unwind for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every stage of life, there are things that can only be experienced in that stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the three years since graduation, he had come to terms with reality, his edges smoothed out by life’s grind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it in nicer terms, he had matured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The things he liked he still liked, but he no longer insisted on having them, so he left Imperial City, saying goodbye to his first love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The things he disliked he still disliked, but he could tolerate them, so he integrated into the group, accepting the unfairness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game “Attractive Man Growth Plan” suddenly appeared on Tang Song’s computer in his senior year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might have downloaded it by accident while browsing study materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because its icon was big and conspicuous, Tang Song clicked on it with a critical attitude, wanting to explore what it was all about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, he became hooked for three years, and it was a major contributing factor to his weight gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a male idol simulation game centered around business management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game featured beautiful art, top-quality sound effects, thorough settings, and extremely unique gameplay, and it didn’t require any money to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game’s storyline was based in the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything, including the map, events, the financial market, businesses, policies, and the environment, was consistent with the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, the game’s timeline started in 2016.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being in 2020 with access to a search engine, Tang Song had a prophetic edge in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the trends of stocks and futures, knew the next industrial hotspots, knew which companies would become unicorns, knew which movies, songs, and artists would become hugely popular…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, every character in the game had their own story arc, and players could witness their growth, life, and their joys and sorrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level of immersion was maxed out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, Tang Song fulfilled his dream of being an attractive man and thoroughly enjoyed the pleasure of being a billionaire surrounded by beauties and at the peak of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a game was still a game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, he was just a struggling worker without a house, a car, or a girlfriend, living a messy life and dissatisfied with his job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song shook his head and stopped letting his thoughts run wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He entered the game, checked unread notifications, claimed quest rewards, bought new items…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a series of skilled operations, he returned to the main interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song’s mouse hesitated as his gaze fell on the time line within the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[April 1, 2023]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the current network time was April 1, 2023, 23:50.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the different flow of time, the timeline of the game was about to overlap with reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a game set against the background of the real world, Tang Song was very curious about how the story would unfold next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He licked his dry lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casually he grabbed a bottle of soda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called his beloved Secretary Jin to report on work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While “gulping” down the soda, he enjoyed the view of the beautiful legs in stockings and slim waists on his screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All worries dissipated, and his mood instantly brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everything in the game was artificial, the happiness it brought him was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the time crossed midnight, the rhythmic background music in his headphones suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The date in the game changed accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[April 2,

characters made appearances, and scene after scene of fantastic plot was acted out, with achievements, titles, badges, and items periodically flashing by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It recapped the entire gameplay experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screen gradually grew quiet, filled only with the sound of footsteps coming closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The character “Tang Song” walked slowly into

the floor-to-ceiling windows at the top floor of the high-rise, looking down at the glittering city lights below, exuding an indescribable charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camera panned from above to
