Even Infinite-Flow Bosses Have KPIs

Ling Xing transmigrated into an infinite-flow game as an NPC, earning a meager salary.

If all you know how to do is work yourself to death, then you can only keep working until you die.

After taking one look at her paycheck, Ling Xing quietly began scouting business opportunities.

Designing an instance… No inspiration. Back to playing an NPC and learning from the players.

Oh, there’s another familiar player.

The player asks, “Why are you running around in all these different instances?”

Because I’m just a temp worker here to learn from the pros… Of course, I can’t say that out loud. A boss needs to maintain an imposing image.

So I can only give a mysterious smile and say, in a tone that’s three parts cold indifference, three parts mockery, and four parts nonchalance:

“Guess.”

I’ve learned everything I need. Now I need a venue, but rent is so expensive… And I still have to prepare the clear rewards…

Sometimes I really want to make a hellish instance with no way out and kill every player, so I won’t have to give out rewards. Strictly controlling costs, you know…

Ha, rewards fluctuate with the difficulty. Clear one instance and I’m bankrupt. This business fails the risk assessment…

Inside the instances, Ling Xing is a force to be reckoned with. Outside them, she’s a nobody.

It wasn’t until Ling Xing was attacked in real life that she realized the instances and reality were connected.

I only took a little emotional support from you people!

Why did you have to open an account for me, too?!

You have a dear friend, someone who has stood by you through life and death.

She was branded a criminal and disappeared for two years.

When she finally returned, her account was wiped clean, her memories were gone, her body was frail, and she was a minor again!

She doesn’t know you. She’s wary of you. She wants nothing to do with you.

She says, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll use you, getting this close to me?”

“Am I useful to you?”

…

A smile.

“You can use me to achieve anything you want.”

“I’d be more than happy to.”
