Chapter 16

With a calm and collected genius like Jungkook around, having a bunch of trembling bronze noobs trailing behind really made things feel a bit... unbearable.

First, Mingyu managed to make the NPC laugh, but for the rest of the plot, the poor NPC had to awkwardly stumble through with the most cringeworthy acting.

Later, when they triggered some horror plot points, this bunch of scaredy-cats perfectly showcased what it meant to be terrible teammates who would refuse to go through the single player plotline, insisting on sticking together to fight as a group.

Even Mingyu's mother got scared to the point of tears.

The monitoring room staff really had no choice but to go easy on them to let them get through the plot.

They managed to clear the game in the end.

After getting out, everyone sat on the sofa to rest. The staff came over to explain the full story and plot to them, and also said to Jungkook: "This handsome guy was way too calm the whole time, were you not scared at all?"

"No, I was very frightened," Jungkook lazily leaned against the backrest, tapping his phone with his fingertips, looking towards Lisa who was still shaken up beside him, "I got through it all thanks to this little chicken nugget sticking with me the whole time, giving me lots of courage."

Lisa had been so frightened that her soul had almost left her body. But hearing Jungkook say this, she felt a certain sense of accomplishment, thinking that she had performed pretty well after all, at least she had been able to help Jungkook look for clues... Not like a certain coward drill instructor, yelping at every jump scare, frightened out of his wits.

After leaving the office building, Mingyu leaned against a tree and started dry heaving. It seemed the after effects were quite severe.

Momo gently patted his back, "Thanks, Instructor Xu, you were actually really amazing."

"Yeah... I was, wasn't I?"

Having received praise, Mingyu's condition improved slightly, "Next time if you guys wanna play again... you can also invite Instructor Xu along."

Jungkook leaned against a lamp post, an aloof smile on his lips. "Just now in the secret room, wonder who was the one hugging the table leg bawling that he'd never come here again in his life, and whoever tries to make him is a son of a bitch."

Mingyu whined, "You and your big mouth."

Jungkook patted him on the shoulder, "But you did quite well in your role as a guardian knight."

In the final stage of the game when the ultimate evil spirit NPC came to drag people away, Momo had been running at the back and was almost taken away.

Although Mingyu had been scared shitless, when he saw his own student being dragged by the evil spirit into the endless dark hallway, his sense of responsibility as an instructor flared up. He charged ahead fearlessly despite screaming the whole way.

In the end, he managed to snatch Momo back from the NPC's hands, pressing the girl's head against his chest, seemingly enraged as he yelled, "Your instructor's here, no one can harm you! Whoever tries dies!"

For the last stretch, Momo was practically completely wrapped in his clothes as he carried her.

In fact, Momo wasn't that scared herself, because when she was grabbed by the "evil spirit", she could hear the control room's voice from its earpiece: "NPC, be gentle, don't hurt the player."

As such, she had been out of character the whole time, playing along very cooperatively when dragged away.

Mingyu on the other hand was completely immersed in his role, performing it meticulously. If not for Momo stopping him, he probably would have started beating up the NPC.
