Chapter 12 [Please add to your favorites]

Zhou Xuan and Liu Lili were selectively forgotten by everyone, since they weren't the ones in trouble, and they didn't care.

Right now, their most pressing concern is still having enough to eat.

Zhou Xuan and Liu Lili really had no choice but to stay in the house where someone had died last night. The original house was really badly damaged and uninhabitable. Looking through the collapsed area, they could see that the furniture inside was smashed.

Zhou Xuan looked at the other six women, "Um... can we come to your place tonight...?"

"Oh no! What if a room can only accommodate two people? If we add another one, wouldn't we be in danger?"

"Yes, you should think about us too."

"We mustn't harm anyone."

"Why don't you go ask those men? Maybe one of them will take you in because you're so good-looking."

"Alright, that's enough. They've all gone to the convenience store, shall we go check it out? Aren't you hungry?"

"Oh dear, speaking of which, I did drink the plain porridge this morning, will that cause any problems?"

"What? Then stay away from me, so you don't drag me down with you."

"What did you say? You have the nerve to criticize me? Didn't you eat too? I saw it, you were eating right next to me, and you still have the nerve to criticize me?"

"Let's go, let's go. The food that old man sent me makes my stomach churn."

Having already walked some distance ahead, the person turned back to look at Zhou Xuan and Liu Lili, and said coldly, "Let me tell you, don't even think about taking over a room while we're not here. I'm trained, and I won't hold back when the time comes!"

And so, everyone headed towards the convenience store, leaving only Wu Yin and Xue Rui, who had just returned from the store, along with Liu Lili and Zhou Xuan.

Their gazes fell on Wu Yin and the others. Liu Lili gritted her teeth, "That..."

Wu Yin quickly reached out to interrupt her, "Don't talk! Yes, yes, don't talk!"

Liu Lili stared at him blankly, without saying anything more.

Wu Yin smiled. "Although... I really like beautiful women, now is obviously not the time. I need to save my own life first, don't you think?"

Then he turned to Xue Rui behind him and said, "Little brother, don't let yourself be tempted by a honey trap. These days, your own safety is the most important thing! As for women, wait until we get back and make some money. Once you have money in your pocket, you can have any kind of woman you want."

Xue Rui was somewhat surprised. After all, Wu Yin had previously seemed like a petty hoodlum to him, someone who shouldn't have much resistance to beautiful women. But now it seemed that Wu Yin wasn't as simple as he appeared.

"I see."

Liu Lili panicked when she saw them turn to leave. They hadn't forgotten that there were still two corpses in the house!

"Wait, wait, that's not what I meant. I meant, could you help us tidy up this room?"

Wu Yin was stunned for a moment, but then she thought of the two corpses in the house whose heads had been smashed to pieces, and she felt nauseous. "No, you should go find someone from the village to clean it up. By the way, didn't that uncle say someone would come to clean it up? Go and see, maybe it's already been cleaned up!"

Wu Yin was just saying it casually. There have been players here since morning, and if the village sent people to clean up, they would definitely know.

Zhou Xuan and Liu Lili certainly didn't dare to go see it themselves. "Then... um! Can you come with us to take a look?"

Wu Yin looked somewhat annoyed, but he could still accept it if it was just to take a look. "Then let's go take a look."

Xue Rui thought for a moment and followed. He figured he could just stay far away. So far, it seemed like there weren't any major problems, although he still felt it wasn't that simple.

Sure enough, the room where someone died last night was spotless, even though no one had come to clean it.

It was as if no one had ever lived there or even died there.

Zhou Xuan was a little scared, "This...this is a house where someone died?"

Wu Yin looked at it carefully. "That's right, it's this one. It seems this village is indeed strange. I wonder what those two did last night to be killed."

"In short, you'll be sleeping here tonight. Remember not to open the doors or windows, and don't go out. Just to be safe, if anyone comes, don't open the door or make a sound, understand?"

Although the room had become so clean, they were still very scared. The two huddled together, trembling, their eyes looking pitifully at Wu Yin.

As for Xue Rui, she was thin and small compared to Wu Yin, and her face was covered by a hat, so she was inconspicuous and they didn't pay any attention to her.

But Wu Yin has no intention of showing mercy to women now; what he values ​​most is his own life.

"Let's go, little brother, let's go back to our rooms and rest."

Xue Rui didn't object, "Okay."

Today is only the first day, and it won't end until midnight. I don't know how many of the twenty people will survive in the end.

An old woman walked into the convenience store, "Young man..."

Lin Leyou looked up from the novel, glanced at it carefully, and found nothing different about her compared to ordinary people. "Grandma, what do you want to buy?"

The old woman said, "I'd like to buy a bag of salt."

Lin Leyou casually picked up a bag of salt and placed it on the table. "Two pieces."

She placed two coins on the table, then picked up the salt and prepared to leave, but then she seemed to suddenly remember something, "Oh right, young boss, after we close the shop, go over to the front of the village."

Lin Leyou blinked. "What's wrong?"

Could his current identity make him vulnerable to being schemed against by the NPCs within the instance? Or would the people inside the instance see him as no different from any other player?

"What else could it be? I heard the village chief isn't feeling well and is going to hand over the position to his son. He's treating the whole village to dinner there for seven days, starting today!"

"Don't forget, if you don't go, you're disrespecting the village chief. If he gets angry, that'll be terrible..."

Lin Leyou nodded, "Oh, I see. Okay, I understand. Thank you for letting me know, Grandma."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll be going now."

Lin Leyou casually tossed two coins into the drawer. The village chief must have been talking about Songying. Why was it an unfamiliar old lady who came to inform him?

The business hours are until 5 p.m., and it's only a little past 12 now, so it's still early.

Even without any banquet, he could probably just stroll over and take a look without any problem, as long as he gets back to the shop to rest before 10 p.m.

However, just as he was preparing lunch for himself, Song Ying arrived.

"Mr. Lin?"

Lin Leyou turned off the fire and came out to see, "It's you. I heard you're going to be the village chief. Congratulations!"
