Rebirth: Change The Ending Of This Apocalyptic Virtual Drama

The digital clock on the wall of Nancheng University's dormitory room 719 blinked, a silent testament to the early afternoon. Outside, the sounds of campus life hummed faintly – distant laughter, the murmur of voices, the occasional whir of a drone. Inside, Li Yanqi lay sprawled on her bed, a picture of indolence. Her eyes, half-closed, seemed to absorb the muted light filtering through the curtains, a deceptive calm masking the whirlwind of memories and plans churning within her mind.

Fu Ying, her self-proclaimed best friend, had just left, leaving behind the lingering scent of expensive perfume and the faint echo of their earlier conversation. The key to the opulent Jinyuan Villa lay heavy in Li Yanqi's palm, a tangible link to a world she was now determined to reshape. She knew the clock was ticking, and the 'apocalypse' was closer than anyone in this simulated reality could imagine. The thought brought a faint, almost imperceptible smirk to her lips. It was time to start playing her own game.
