Suddenly, his avatar stopped mid-farm. The script was still running—the code on his left monitor was scrolling faster than light—but the character wasn't moving. Instead, the pets he owned turned their heads. Not toward the coins, but toward the camera. Toward him .
"Alright," he whispered, his fingers flying across the mechanical keyboard. "Target: Doodle Barn. Task: Multi-target coin collection. Loop: Infinite." He hit Execute .
On the center screen, his avatar—decked out in a neon hoverboard and a trail of Mythical pets—began to move with eerie, robotic precision. It didn't miss a single coin. It didn't hesitate. As soon as a giant Doodle Egg appeared, his pets swarmed it like a cloud of pixelated locusts. The "Cha-ching!" sound effect became a rhythmic pulse.
Leo leaned back, folding his arms. He watched his skyrocket into the trillions. To the rest of the server, he looked like a god-tier player with god-tier reflexes. In reality, he was downstairs in the kitchen making a sandwich while his script did the heavy lifting. But then, the screen flickered.
