Why Is This NPC So Unhinged? [Infinite]

[Updates nightly after 10 p.m.] [Instance Five is complete] As a mental patient, when your doctor tells you that you can apply for discharge, what do you choose? A. Leave this awful place. B. Pretend to be a patient and stay here, continuing to enjoy the heavenly life of free food and lodging. Bai Xun spent three years eating and drinking for free at the mental hospital. Then one day, she happened to discover a group of players carrying game interfaces. Watching them rush around to complete their game missions, Bai Xun's lips curled into a smile. A fresh batch of tender little leeks, ripe for the picking. At first, the players who entered the game couldn't understand why the hospital's work chat group was called the Victims' Alliance. Then they met Bai Xun. Victim No. 1: I'm a player who diligently completes missions. Bai Xun tricked me, saying there was a treasure in my kitchen. I went through all kinds of hardship to get it, only to find it was full of fried chicken. The reason? She wanted to eat it! Outrageous! Victim No. 2: I'm a heteromorph. Night makes me stronger. I swore to myself that tonight I would uphold justice and rid the world of the menace Bai Xun! But the next second, she rolled me into a ball and threw me out of the window. Victim No. 3: I'm the direct supervisor of the victim above. That day, it brought Bai Xun before me. The next second, Bai Xun suddenly lay on the ground, wailing that my employee had beaten her black and blue, and demanded I pay her medical bills. When I was young and reckless, I once tried to refuse her too. She beat me until I was crawling on the ground, leaving me with no authority whatsoever. That's when I understood: if money can solve a problem, never try to solve it with your fists. Bai Xun: I admit everything they said is true. So what? Reader's guide: 1. My take on Lovecraftian horror, with lots of original worldbuilding. 2. The female lead is a chaotic troublemaker with no morals. She's irresistible to everyone, with a forest of unrequited crushes pointing her way, and a love-triangle free-for-all in the middle and later parts. 3. The story focuses on her career, with career and romance making up a 7:3 ratio. 4. I accept reasonable negative reviews from readers who bought the official version. Malicious nitpicking will be deleted. 5. I'm a compulsive reviser and may revise the text from time to time.
