What To Do When The Characters Glitch Again

[Striving to play the role / Occasionally slipping up / Fleeing after mission completion / Adorable little mushroom shou] [Formerly an infinite flow powerhouse / Gong whose eyes are only on his wife] Yun Zhou is a sentient poisonous mushroom from an apocalyptic novel. He gained sentience too late—shortly after taking human form, the apocalyptic story concluded, and he was recruited by the World Will Management Bureau as a trainee NPC. Yun Zhou is strikingly beautiful but lacks many skills. His first mission is to play an NPC in a novel, with character tags: [The White Moonlight of the Protagonist Gong], [Stubborn], [Elegantly Aloof], [Frail], [Dies Young]. The mission is simple—he just needs to lie on a hospital bed from time to time and pass away three months after marrying the protagonist gong. As a newcomer, Yun Zhou can’t help but feel nervous. When nervous, he instinctively turns back into a mushroom and hides in a flowerpot. The system reassures him: “It’s fine, darling. These tags aren’t hard to act. If the protagonist gong tries to sleep with you, just fake an illness!” Yun Zhou checks the protagonist gong’s character tags, which read: [Gentle], [Patient], [Righteous], [Understanding]… Seems like things shouldn’t go wrong. And so, Yun Zhou begins his role. At first, everything goes smoothly, and no one suspects he’s a mushroom in disguise. Following the novel’s storyline, Yun Zhou and the protagonist gong hold their wedding. On their wedding night, Yun Zhou coughs violently, trembling as he weakly declares he’s unwell. The protagonist gong remains as gentle and considerate as ever, kneeling by the bed to caress Yun Zhou’s pale, delicate wrist with a soft smile: “Alright.” — Yet, less than two months into the marriage, Yun Zhou starts noticing anomalies. For instance, the protagonist gong occasionally loses control of his emotions, and his character tags glitch—[Gentle] becomes [Tyrannical], [Patient] turns into [Cruel]—only to revert when facing Yun Zhou. Most importantly, Yun Zhou’s lifespan on his panel begins slowly increasing. The system can’t pinpoint the bug’s origin. Anxious and uneasy, Yun Zhou decides to fake his death and flee as soon as the three months are up. —After all, the NPC contract only lasts three months. With the payment secured, his mission is complete. That night, Xi Lixiu finds Yun Zhou gone. Staring at the lifeless body on the hospital bed, his eyes darken: “Where is he?” The system: “Searching at full capacity—” Soon, Xi Lixiu tracks Yun Zhou down. Yun Zhou has taken on a new mission—playing a monster NPC in an infinite flow dungeon, scaring random players by pelting them with poisonous mushrooms. When Xi Lixiu suddenly appears before him, Yun Zhou freezes in shock. Still wearing little demon horns, he hurriedly hides his prop knife and stammers: “H-husband…”
