From Bai Zhi's point of view, this Newbie Run really wasn't a big deal. The main "challenges" it posed were whether the Players had keen enough observational skills and the courage to face the monster head on.
This was their reality, after all. The only thing separating Players from normal people was their access to abilities that allowed them to stand up to the supernatural entities. It wasn't a game where they could respawn indefinitely upon their death. In fact, being a Player had far-reaching consequences that meant they were exposed to even greater risks than normal humans were.
As they say, "you only live once".
Just like Wu Hua and his partner that time, even though they were obviously Players who had completed their Newbie Run, coming up against a sly and intelligent supernatural entity like the little boy who had the ability to pin their shadows down had put them in dire straits.

*Smokey the Bear, an American campaign and advertising icon of the U.S. Forest Service. Most well-known for a campaign to educate the public about the dangers of unplanned human-caused wildfires. His signature slogan "Remember... Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires" was revealed in 1947 and was associated with Smokey Bear for more than five decades. The raw refers to 消防知识的形象大使 (literally fire safety character ambassador, and I chose Smokey because he's iconic).
**Pun on avant-garde, used in a general sense to refer to anything considered "unorthodox" or "radical". "Avant" is French for "front" or "forward" while "gourd" is a slang word for head.
