Super Multi-Boxing

Super Multi-Boxing is a virtual MMORPG web novel by He Duonian. It was serialized on Qidian from July 4, 2015, to its completion on November 27, 2015, running about 513,000 Chinese characters across roughly 240 chapters, divided into volumes including "Sword and Magic," "ArcheAge 2," "Warlords Contend," "Halo Effect," "Reborn," "Modified Humans," "Multi-Line Development," and "Eve of War." The protagonist, Lin Guangshan, is a cash-strapped college student who initially just wants to earn a little spending money in-game through skill and prize money. By chance he obtains a mysterious program called the "Time-Space Cheat": it can grind offline, control vast numbers of accounts simultaneously, automate tedious farming and profit-making, and comes with intelligent combat assistance. With this cheat, under names like "Foreign Faction" and "Yeming," he rises rapidly in games such as Sword and Magic and ArcheAge 2, clashing head-on with the pay-to-win guild Purple Forbidden City and its leader, Huangcheng Xiaohao, growing from a solo player into a team commander and proving his worth in large-scale events like team PK tournaments and the Original Continent landing battle. Yet the protagonist's power is too conspicuous, and he is repeatedly forced out of the game. Starting from the fourth volume, "Halo Effect," his multi-boxing ability extends into reality: after an accident the cheat merges with his body, letting him control multiple clone-like "alt accounts" in the real world and fight directly against the factions he antagonized in-game and even a mysterious overseas organization, drawing him into larger vortices such as cloning modification and the New Humanity Project. The book's selling points are its detailed MMORPG operations, tactical reasoning, and lighthearted face-slapping wish-fulfillment; the first half focuses on in-game battles, while the second half shifts to urban supernatural multi-party scheming.
