First briefly mentioned by a player in chapter 82:
“…In her world, Chen Shen was the strongest of all the soldiers in the army and became the commander a few years after she changed her career. She was also well-versed in developing masses of organised armed forces…”

  1. I know some people don’t like the protagonist always shining as the best, but in this case, I feel that if Ren Yifei isn’t the best, he’ll die. So, even in the coming high-end game, A Fei will probably mop the floor with these delusional people…

    Thank you for the chapter!

    • I think it also helps that he’s the best in a way that’s different from the other “best” players. If he solved the instances the same way everyone else solved them but was just better than all the veterans despite being a rookie then it would read like an obvious power fantasy starred by Mary Sue.

    • Yes, yes, but correction Feifei won’t just mop them, he’ll clean them up and take out the whole crew like some dang trash 😂 Also I gotta feel bad for Feifei because he obviously just wants a career and a peaceful home but he’s being targeted by assassins and a pervert who smells like a bakery 🥲

  2. I feel like the reason he didn’t want to do a high end game quite yet wasn’t because he thought he couldn’t handle it but because he thought he couldn’t 100% it. So being thrown into one isn’t a huge problem so much as an annoyance because he might break his streak.

    • Yup, he did drown in the previous instance. However, it is likely that he had more than one ‘life’ (I think each player gets three lives when they first enter the Cape of Desolation). So, although he did die in the game, he still has another chance.

  3. A small typo

    If a genus->genius is made of one percent inmate talent and ninety-nine percent hard work,…..

    Good luck to Ren Yifei!

  4. Ah, yes, how dare he not die on command. A real scoundrel

    I love that it’s their misattribution of both his motivation and his character that cause them to fail against him, as both are a direct result of his focus on acting. He seems non-aggressive and “naive” because his assigned characters tend in that direction; it makes him seem unworldly when he is really, seriously not. They expect a completely different focus, like solving a high-end instance, when in fact he’s just going to concentrate on getting his character right as usual. They’re only making trouble for themselves

    Thank you so much for translating! <3

  5. It would be extremely funny if in the next instance Ren Yifei pretended to be a normal player (hired killer) and joined them to catch Black Rabbit. And it would be even more diabolical if he made them suspect random NPCs to be him, so they would kill those NPCs and end up as their targets.
