A flabby middle-aged woman waddled into the kitchen on the hunt for food. Her name was Chen Li Rou. With a creak, the cupboard door was pulled open as a hand reached in, fumbling around in search for a packet of instant noodles.

Sloppily dressed loose-fitting clothing, Li Rou tore open the packaging and submerged the instant noodles in boiling water.

The noodles soon softened under the sweltering heat and started becoming incredibly chewy, indicating that they were almost cooked.

With Li Rou’s seasoned hands, she tore open the packets of seasoning and preserved garnishing with ease before emptying the contents into the boiling water. Li Rou’s actions were smooth and swift without a single wasted movement, it was as though she had done it a thousand times already.

As the seasoning gradually dissolved, its fragrant aroma wafted into the air, stirring up Li Rou’s ravenous appetite. Although Li Rou had eaten the same packet of noodles numerous times before, she could not resist drooling after taking a whiff of its fragrance.

Without a moment too soon, the noodles were perfectly cooked and ready to be eaten.

Li Rou transferred the noodles into a bowl with one fluid stroke. She then carried the bowl of noodles to the dining table.

As Li Rou ate her noodles, she took out her Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and opened up a job searching application. In the past week, she had submitted 20 applications to various jobs from different industrial fields.

However, despite having the graduated from one of the most distinguished and prestigious universities in China, a plethora of companies were unwilling to hire someone like Li Rou as she had been jobless for a long period of time.

To multinational corporations, an able-bodied adult being jobless over a long duration raised many red flags and highlights the possibility of the applicant not being suitable for hire.

Resultantly, all of Li Rou job applications came back rejected by the companies with vague reasons such as “You’re not what the company is looking for.” Several companies brutally rejected her by saying, “We’re looking for efficient workers who are capable of working in a team instead not fat whales. Furthermore, when we dialed up your previous job, the manager had little comments to say about you.”

From the rejection letters Li Rou had received, she concluded that her past working experience had reflected poorly on her. Furthermore, she could not use her ‘looks’ to get connections with higher-ups to get a decent job.

Li Rou’s life was in the dumps. Even Now, she was leeching off her mother by eating her food, lived under her roof, all without paying rent. As a result, Li Rou’s mother despite being in her silver years had to continue working overseas to support her own daughter.

After Li Rou polished up the last drop of soup in the bowl, she contently patted her belly and decided to take a shower to refresh herself.

It has been ages since she had last bathed, her body reeked of malodor and matted with dirt that stubbornly clung to her skin.

When Li Rou was grabbing a change of clothes, she came to a brutal realization that the laundry basket was full as she had not done the laundry in a long time. Without any fresh clothes left, Li Rou reluctantly decided to sleep butt-naked.

Li Rou stripped herself naked and stepped into the shower. While in the shower, Li Rou cupped her nonexistent boobies to check for growth.

Li Rou was immediately disappointed, for her chest was as barren as the Sahara Desert.

In hopes of growing bigger tits, Li Rou had spent her time every night massaging them, gone to temples in hopes of growing larger breasts. Li Rou had even gone to the point of testing out massage techniques and methods online. It was one of her darkest secrets that she swore to take with her to the grave.

Li Rou was immensely envious of busty women. From her time in university up till now, she had her past 13 boyfriends seduced away by women with considerable busts. With the exclusion of food delivery men, it has been close to 5 years since she’s had any real interaction with the opposite sex.

After the shower, Li Rou went to turn in for the night. With a yawn, she turned off the lights and flung herself on the bed.

*ding* Li Rou’s phone chimed.

She whipped her phone out to check the message that just came in, “Hello, I am a deposed Nigerian Prince. [Sad emoji] You are my only living relative. Please share your bank information, so I can send you money.”

Li Rou deleted the junk mail without a moment’s hesitation.

“I might as well play ‘Goddess’s World Online’ since the phone is already in my hand.” Li Rou sighed as she tapped on the app.

Goddess’s World Online is an MMORPG mobile game, players could freely customize their characters' appearances. But the main attraction of the game was the relationship system involved with the game’s NPC. Relationships had to be maintained otherwise they would gradually degrade over time, just like in real life.

Ultimately, by devoting countless hours of her life and splurging her savings, Li Rou was the highest ranked player of the server.

Li Rou’s character was drop-dead gorgeous, armed with a busty rank and a diverse collection of outfits, it was voted by the online community to be the sexiest character ever created in the game in a yearly contest. A title that Li Rou held for 5 years.

Furthermore, in the game’s online forums, she was given the title of ‘Pioneer of the Goddess’s World’. Every time new updates and expansions were added to the game, she would be first to obtain a perfect clear. Once she had fully cleared the content, she would release guides and walkthroughs on the site’s forum.

While most players have had tried to guess who she was in real life, expecting her to be a gorgeous beauty to even a disgusting perverted old man that was a ‘solo player’.

Li Rou attempted to set up a gay marriage between two of the hottest male characters in the game. However, it would require a great deal of points which could only be obtained an arduous process known as ‘grinding’.

While grinding for points, Li Rou’s eyelids eventually started drooping and mumbled, “If only I could be like my character in the game.” as she soon drifted off to sleep with her phone in her hand.

.

*boom* Li Rou forcefully jolted awake from the sound of the explosion.

Her Samsung Galaxy Note 7 had burst into flames from overheating and rays of dazzling bright lines shined from its screen.

“F*ck Samsung phones!” Li Rou shrieked and threw her phone on the floor, smashing it to pieces. Despite having been smashed apart, Li Rou's broken phone screen continued to emit its dazzling brilliance which soon consumed Li Rou’s surroundings and rendered her unconscious.
