[Novel Blurb]
First, please remain quiet when the game begins.
Second, do not question whether anything makes sense.
Third, do not leave your room after the bell rings.
Fourth, find your teammates as quickly as possible.
Fifth, do not trust the players around you.
Sixth, NPCs never lie.
Seventh, do not believe what the NPCs say.
Eighth...
Finally, do not trust any of the rules!
Let me repeat that: do not trust any of the rules!
Players, let the show begin.
Bu Jianchou is an NPC.
More precisely, he was forced to become one. A System appeared out of nowhere and assigned him an extremely bizarre identity when he least expected it.
Why was everyone else a player while he was an NPC? He'd seen the whole "you have a System" setup before, but was he now the legendary case of an NPC gaining self-awareness? Wait, he was a player too!
Being an NPC was bad enough, but he was also a public NPC.
He had barely any more information than the players, yet had more to do than they did. He had to play his part as an NPC and follow the plot, while also clearing the game like a player. It was like being a donkey hitched to two grindstones.
As an NPC among NPCs, when he ran into someone who kept pestering him to team up with an NPC, all Bu Jianchou wanted to do was yell: Please follow the game rules and stay away from NPCs!
When a player meets an NPC pretending to be a player
Bu Jianchou: The "que" in Pei Que means "lacking virtue."
Pei Que: Hehe, as long as you team up with me, you're right about everything.
A super-louche, swaggering, foul-mouthed gong who can't help mocking others even when he's miserable & a mildly socially anxious shou who isn't quiet because he has nothing to say, and isn't exactly kindhearted either.
