Unreal Players in the Real World

Reinhard Rohan traveled through time. Good news: He has transformed into a living, flesh-and-blood NPC in a steampunk alternate world. Bad news: He turned out to be an unlucky guy who was late for graduation. He was faced with a graduation thesis with zero data, and his instructor threatened to disqualify him from graduation with a red pen. This world is a game in public beta. "I am a preparatory monk at Temple College. I am doing an academic study and need to recruit volunteers." Anyway, the graduation thesis requires experimental data. And aren't these "volunteers" who are not afraid of death or pain, and who actively ask if they have any tasks, the best material? Five copper coins to hire a skilled worker? No. For five copper coins, he can hire three max-level players. Ten gold coins to recruit an army that is not afraid of death? No. For ten gold coins he could get the entire guild to build roads in his territory. Players think they are playing a game. The NPC thought he was living his life. Only Reinhard knows that this world is more real than anyone imagined. And he decided to use the hands of players to tear up the script of this world.
