Liao Jie hadn't been in the instance for long, so the mental effects on him weren't severe. Besides, as a B-class player, his evolution rate and mental strength far surpassed those of his companions. He also knew that the longer a mental instance dragged on, the worse things got, so he took advantage of his strengths and went straight to find the Director.
The three tasks required to clear the instance were:
① Undergo psychological treatment at least once.
② Steal an important bacterial sample.
③ Clean the hospital entrance.
Of the three tasks, Liao Jie was quickest to rule out the third. The simpler a task looked, the harder it tended to be. The "entrance" in the task definitely wasn't the one right there. Actually taking the time to look for it might only cause more trouble by dragging out the instance. The second task was much the same. Besides, no one knew what kind of bacteria the important sample contained, or whether a Protective Suit could even protect him from it. There was no need to take that risk.
So he prioritized the first task.
To receive treatment, he only had to face one Doctor, and a single session of psychological treatment wouldn't necessarily make him completely succumb to the hospital. If the Doctor judged him to be mentally sound, he might clear the instance very quickly.
Of course, he'd already thought up two ways to clear it. First, he could insist that he was a Player and stick to the truth about himself, no matter how the Doctor tried to brainwash him. Second, he could adapt to the hospital's situation: if they thought being a "Player" was a symptom of mental illness, he only had to pretend to be "normal."
The instance couldn't eavesdrop on his thoughts.
