Chapter 77 - Chapter 77: Chu Yin Future

"Alright, thanks for the call. Catch ya later, peace—"

Done!

After his last pitch, Wesley Moore, grinding all day, sighed in relief.

A cubicle drone, he cold-called, pushing insurance.

Day after day, his life was as dull as dishwater.

Only gaming after work sparked joy.

Wesley wasn't a gaming nut, but he craved something to break the monotony.

Lately, he'd been hooked on Left 4 Dead 2.

Easy mode, melee weapons, pure rush.

Only that thrill cracked his work face into a real smile.

He logged into IndieVibe Tech, ready to slay zombies.

But the prep screen threw him a curveball—

[Enable mod?]

Mod?

Wesley blinked, curious, and clicked.

A menu popped with images:

[M4 Gun Mod: Gold (adds WindyPeak logo skin)]

[Pipe Bomb Mod: Easter Egg (turns explosions into fireworks)]

[Common Zombie Mod: Tiger Cub Hat (zombies wear cute baby hats)]

[…]

Hooked, Wesley grabbed all eight mods.

Game on!

He was floored!

His M4 shone gold, bullets trailing golden streaks—badass!

Pipe bombs burst into ribbons, not fire.

Zombies? Sporting tiger cub hats like a comedy flick villain—creepy but hilarious.

This odd vibe gave his bland life a kick.

"…Hold up, wasn't there an 'I Want to Create' button?"

Wesley backed out, hit the mod menu, and spotted [I Want to Create - Enter Creative Workshop].

Now that's dope!

His eyes lit up.

Before phone life, he'd studied art design and dabbled in coding.

So…

"Can I make this stuff?"

The Creative Workshop loaded a panel with prompts:

Welcome to the Creative Workshop, where you customize the game.

[With WindyPeak and IndieVibe Tech's tools, modding's easy, letting your ideas hit fast.]

[Share your brilliance—publish mods for players to vibe with.]

[Start your customization journey—]

"Holy crap!"

Wesley gaped.

This game…

Too real!

In a cash-grab, skin-heavy market, devs milk every gun or effect for bucks!

They hate player-made content!

Fans often outdo official skins, but devs ban it—profit's their game.

But WindyPeak broke the mold!

They greenlit player skins, mods, and a sharing platform!

Gotta jump in!

Wesley dove into the tools, picking his favorite melee weapon:

"Let's craft… a lightsaber katana!"

That night, in the quiet, the Creative Workshop gave Wesley a slice of joy.

Countless players like him started whipping up wild mods.

Two days later, Friday night.

Yin hit Twitch, and chat went nuts!

"Yin, you're back!"

"Done slacking?"

"Just took Ellie on a getaway, huh?"

"Be real—were you a zoo mascot?"

"Bamboo Hustle!"

"Ellie carries you daily; you owe her."

"Daddy Yin, chill. Ellie's grinding."

"Log in! Left 4 Dead 2 updated!"

Yin laughed, calling chat "you trolls."

Streaming was his life—work, sure, but days off made him miss the chaos.

Plus, he was itching to smash zombies.

"Update?"

Yin fired up his VR cabin:

"What's new?"

Chat exploded—

"Creative Workshop's fire!"

"Left 4 Dead 2's mod scene's wild—hundreds daily!"

"Chicken Bro's mod is a must."

"Totally unhinged!"

"[OrdinaryWes]'s weapon mods slap—Star Wars lightsaber, get it."

"WeakSauce's character mod is my queen."

"Your queen's the best…"

"Misaka's coin-shooting sniper's sick…"

Yin frowned, lost.

Huh?

What's this nonsense?

Left 4 Dead 2's about zombies, right?

Chicken Bro? Lightsabers? Misaka Mikoto?

What's this got to do with survival?

Felt like he'd warped to another dimension.

Two days off, and I'm clueless?!

"No… what're you ranting about?"

Yin squinted:

"This Left 4 Dead 2 or some wacko fever dream?"

Chat roared, urging: Stop yapping, squad up, you'll get it!

Yin's curiosity spiked.

He pinged Jada Brooks, ShuBro, and Pineapple.

Survival squad, back in action!

In the VR cabin, voice chat on, Yin asked:

"Yo, ShuBro, you and Pineapple been killing zombies?"

He knew Jada was at a Seattle stream event.

ShuBro shook her head: "Wanted to, but without you and Jada, we chickened out."

Real talk.

Even with VR, zombie swarms were intense.

Their shaky aim didn't help—four players made it doable.

"ShuBro and I held out for you!" Pineapple grinned.

The four shared a vibe.

That's gaming.

Online hooks you with mechanics or graphics, but friends keep you hooked.

ShuBro's crew was a mess, but Yin loved it.

"Alright, we're all in the dark," Yin chuckled.

"Chat's hyping a Creative Workshop update."

He loaded Left 4 Dead 2.

Below Start Campaign, [Enable Mod] glowed.

Clicking it, Yin gasped: "What the heck?!"

The Creative Workshop was a mod goldmine—thousands!

Thanks to WindyPeak and IndieVibe Tech's tools, modding was a breeze.

Basic coding or modeling? One-hour mods. Maps? Eight hours, max.

In two days, ~3,000 mods passed IndieVibe's review, flooding the workshop—guns, sensory tweaks, effects, audio, all popping off.

Yin was swamped.

Luckily, chat had his back.

He sorted by popularity, grabbing a dozen top mods per chat's picks.

Jada, ShuBro, and Pineapple let him lead—his mods synced to their game.

After sorting, Yin closed the workshop: "Done. No clue what you trolls picked."

He grinned, sensing chat's picks would be… extra.

Screen loaded!

Yin opened his eyes in the safe house, but before checking weapons—

"Holy crap! Boss! Your ponytails are fire!"

Huh?

Yin spun around.

KDA Akali stood there, ShuBro's ID overhead.

Next, a loli in a purple hippo hat—Pineapple.

Then Jada, rocking Bai Yuekui from Ling Cage.

Model swaps?!

This is wild!

Yin got it—mods swapped game elements.

Seeing his squad's glow-up, he checked the safe house mirror.

Long green ponytails dragged on the floor, white sleeveless top, green tie, pleated skirt, black stockings, leather shoes.

Two green onions tucked in his belt.

Yin froze for five seconds.

Then roared: "Screw you! Chat picked this cursed mod!!!"

Chat lost it—

"Haha, Yin in drag!"

"Chu Yin Future!"

"Goddamn, Chu Yin's killing it…"

"Model's cute, but depends who's rocking it."

"Hatsune Miku with Yin's vibe? Yikes."

"Morning, Grandpa Yin! Pancakes ready~"

"My eyes are fried."

"Can't unsee Miku now."

"Chu Yin's too much…"

"This game's gone rogue…"
