If I Can't Drive Players Crazy, What Kind of NPC Am I?

[No heroine] [Behind-the-scenes schemer] [Players] [Ensemble cast] [Comedy] [Unconventional] [Supernaturally bizarre]

Who says a horror game needs actual ghosts to be scary?

Ever since Lu Bai became an NPC in "The First Supernatural", he’s been welcoming players and making a fortune off them.

"The Art of Keeping Them Guessing"

"A Thousand Ways to Cross the Street"

It’s the same beginner quest, yet the players can’t find a single guide.

The first time, it was the Dayun-chan. After that, nobody even bothered pretending.

What the hell? A poop-sucking truck, doing the Kun dance, swimming across the street, playing Snake, freezing like a statue...?

Players cry out one after another:

“Wait, is this game actually meant to be played?”

“Where the hell have you dragged me?”

“Didn’t the pandemic end already? Why is this place still so gloomy?”

The players, driven to the brink of a breakdown, spot curious newcomers asking questions under a forum post.

In the end, they all break into knowing smiles.

Happiness awaits on this grand stage. If you have a dream, come on in!

“It’s easy. You just cross the street...”

“It’s no trouble at all. Please don’t come, the rewards here are too good. Don’t try to steal them from us!”

Lu Bai never expected the players, after all that torment, to turn twisted too.

At least he’s still a cute, sunny, cheerful young man.
