To his surprise, he discovered that all the games in this world required payment.

Buy-to-play single-player games, time-based billing, paid DLCs.

How could this be?

“We must let every gamer experience the joy of free games.”

“Every player is a precious asset to us game developers. What we need to do is make them feel the warmth of a god.”

Liu Wei said sincerely to the camera.

"Happy Landlord Showdown" surpassed 10 billion monthly active users, becoming the new trendsetter in gaming.

"Dungeon" dominated global gaming revenue for three consecutive years.

"Crossfire" was hailed by the media as the most successful shooting game of the past decade.

"League" became the most-watched professional tournament worldwide.

Xia Miao transmigrated and, forced by life's circumstances, entered the online game "Gods" and became a gold-farming player.

I was so lazy that I slept all day after the game launched, but I unexpectedly got the achievement "Be Lazy to Death", which boosted my passive skill tenfold!

Just as she wished, now she doesn't even need to use skills while playing games!

I switched to Knight, a class where taking damage is effective!

Sunfire Cape Landry, hitting me is like hitting yourself!

Thus began the invincible and joyful journey of the Lazy Knight!

As a game designer and a veteran gaming enthusiast, Ye Ling found himself transmigrated to a parallel world—one where technology was advanced, but gaming concepts were terribly outdated.

Looking at the mind-numbingly boring games on the market, Ye Ling quietly released a game titled "If You're a Man, Get to the 100th Floor."

"I died again—what kind of twisted mind could come up with this game?"

"Old Ye, can’t you design a normal game for once?"

"Aaaahhh..."

...

Amidst the enthusiastic "requests" from players, Ye Ling silently continued to unleash titles like "Scary Granny," "Super Mario: Hardcore Edition," and "Before Dawn."

Sigh... Don’t blame me—it's all the system's fault...

Han Feng spent three months' salary to buy a holographic military gaming helmet. After entering the game, he looked at the Blue Team's backward tactics and was extremely disgusted with the artificially stupid remarks of the game NPC.

He pointed at the NPCs' noses and called them "military idiots", and cursed every officer in the room.

Little did he know, this wasn't a game at all—it was a real military exercise broadcast live across the country!

When he, with a "gamer's" mentality, snatched the wheat-ear epaulettes and put them on, and even forced the other party to serve as a staff officer, the entire Internet exploded: "Is this lunatic here to ruin the military exercise?"

But the next moment, he actually led the motorized infantry brigade to defeat the heavy armored brigade!

The war zone leader slammed the table and stood up: "This is a tactical genius that only appears once in a century!"

Just when everyone was wondering what kind of person this arrogant genius was, Han Feng saw the room full of real guns and realized it belatedly.

What kind of game is this? He's scolding the real leader and seizing the real command!

But his wonderful performance has become famous throughout the country! The military general is now chasing him for a promotion!

Zhang Yang transmigrated to a parallel world. Faced with the outdated game design concepts of this world, he knew that his time to shine had come.

He developed one phenomenal game after another, leaving all the game companies in shock.

“What? A game that can actually be fun to play?”

“What? A game that can make players cry?”

He created bizarre and adventurous games like Strange Adventures and Cat Inside, which made millions of netizens cry.

“What? You still have to pay for games?”

He then introduced various free-to-play online games from his past life, allowing players to enjoy “free” and high-quality titles.

Zhang Yang: If you encounter an insurmountable challenge in the game, it must be because… you didn’t spend enough money!

After having a nightmare, An Yi woke up to find that he had traveled through time and space and transformed into the princess in his dream. He became the second princess of the kingdom, Her Royal Highness Chris Ludwig, an NPC in the game. What made her even more desperate than the time travel and transformation was that she confirmed from the dream that she would be the world boss in a certain version of the future, and would be defeated by countless players to steal their equipment and gain experience. Therefore, in order to avoid the end of her country being destroyed and her brother dying, she decided to be defeated herself. Chris decided to wear the crown and embark on the path of fleecing players and cheating NPCs in the game. "My brave stranger, don't you want to take a look at this breastplate? It's the original one that Her Royal Highness has worn on her body!"
