"What a double standard! Why do others get basic credits while I don't?"

Mingmei appeared to be staring blankly at the tent dome above her head, but in reality, she was looking at her own system backend.

Seeing the glaring zero on the credit score chart, Mingmei couldn't help but complain about her dissatisfaction.

Ms. Cheshire mentioned in class that once players enter the game, they will receive a guaranteed minimum number of credits based on their mental strength level.

She also remembered what Ms. Cheshire said to her after class; besides the word "good luck," Ms. Cheshire said two other things to her—

I found out about your situation through your uncle.

Mingmei: Which uncle?

[It's alright, I believe in your abilities. After all, you're Mei Qiu's sister, you must be very capable too!]

Mingmei: Huh? This is the first time I've ever heard someone praise my second brother?

Only now did Mingmei understand the profound meaning in Ms. Cheshire's second sentence. Ah!

What on earth did that brat Mei Qiu do?!

[Because you're an NPC, host. Therefore, your way of earning credits is naturally different from others~]

The system, Guigui, already knew about Mingmei's schooling. After exchanging the latest student information with her, Guigui completely understood Mingmei's current situation.

Other military academy students earn credits by completing challenges, but she earns credits by persuading them to "spend money" on in-game purchases.

She's earning other people's credits.

"Should I be glad that these military academy students have shared credits? Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be if I encountered only federal military academy students the whole time?"

Mingmei was also helpless, looking at her task panel. This time, she was still a "lunchbox merchant", but to be precise, she should now be a cook, a cook from the Chu Rong army of the grassland iron cavalry.

"You, come with me. The king is hosting a banquet tonight, and the kitchen at the royal tent is short-staffed. Come with me."

Just as Mingmei was lost in thought, a burly man lifted the tent flap and shouted at her, speaking in a dialect that Mingmei couldn't understand. But inexplicably, she understood what he was saying.

"Yes, please wait a moment, I'll be there shortly."

A glint flashed in her bright eyes, and she opened her mouth to respond.

Sure enough, it was a string of gibberish.

After hearing this, the man glanced at the pile of wooden boxes in front of Mingmei, a strange look flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more. He nodded and left the tent, which gave Mingmei some time to do things on her own.

This escape game, "Assassin King," has one advantage over "The Ghostly Marriage"—there are no ghost stories.

The game "Assassin Emperor" is set against the backdrop of ancient warfare.

A hegemon emerged on the grasslands, unifying the various tribes and forming a new, powerful cavalry state—the Chu Rong.

Meanwhile, the Hua Liang Kingdom, located in the Central Plains, has been weakening due to years of natural disasters, epidemics, and infighting in the court.

Just then, the newly appointed emperor of Chu Rong led a large army south to personally lead an expedition, and the places he went were no exaggeration to be described as mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Several famous and prosperous cities in the north of Hualiang were massacred by this tyrannical Chu Rong ruler. Now, his army has reached the outskirts of the capital of Hualiang, and they are waiting for the emperor of Hualiang to personally issue an edict of surrender and open the city gates to welcome them...

After all, this tyrant has a criminal record. He has already slaughtered many cities in the north of Hua Liang while conquering cities along the way south. He can be considered an extremely wicked, cruel and ruthless person.

On the surface, Hua Liang had agreed to send a representative to deliver the letter of surrender, but in reality, both the emperor and the royal family were secretly planning to assassinate the tyrant.

However, if the plan fails, the lives of all the people in the capital, including Emperor Hua Liang, will be lost.

Therefore, if this assassination attempt fails, the consequences of being angered are predictable.

"Something about the general plot of this game feels off."

Because Mingmei was fooled by the plot synopsis once when she was in the newbie village, she's going to take a look at the plot synopsis again this time.

Forget it, let it go.

Mingmei sighed softly and packed up her lunchbox. However, based on the plot provided by the backstage team, she knew that the banquet in the royal tent tonight should be the main plot point of the assassination.

So... how should she sell boxed lunches?

...

"My God, these Chu Rong soldiers look so fierce and not to be trifled with!"

At this moment, Lu Xiaoyao, who was sitting in the carriage, lowered the curtain she had previously lifted and spoke to the player who had come with her in the carriage.

This player is also a familiar face; he's Bai Xiao, who played with Fei Lu Xiao Yao in the last game.

The two women were playing two of a group of beauties offered to a tyrant by wealthy merchants who wanted to curry favor with him in advance, but in reality, they were assassins in disguise.

"By the way, your boyfriend..."

Lu Xiaoyao remembered the last time they teamed up to enter the game, so she still had high expectations for Bai Xiao's appearance, thinking that she might be carried to victory again.

"These game companies are so unethical. Didn't the official announcement prohibit teams from forming in advance to enter the game?" Bai Xiao said, glancing sideways at Lu Xiaoyao, and asked, "Didn't you read the announcement?"

"I read it, but I still didn't understand it."

Hearing this blunt truth, Bai Xiao couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Bai Xiao felt helpless again at the thought of why she would run into Lu Xiaoyao in the same game, but she still felt that something was wrong.

Is it possible that someone of her skill level can only be matched with teammates like this?

“I don’t even know how many people are in this game.” Seeing that Bai Xiao didn’t speak, Lu Xiaoyao continued, “This game company is really inhumane. I couldn’t remember anything to begin with, and now that I’ve come in, my mind is completely blank.”
