However, some thoughtful players in the team offered another suggestion—to go up the mountain.

"The game couldn't possibly be that simple, and the game's title clearly indicates that our final storyline should begin in an inn. Does your character information mention any inns along the way down the mountain?"

The game's instructions indicated that the group had to reach the roadside, but a small disagreement arose regarding whether to go directly down or go up along the road.

Players who want to go straight up include Julian and Lu Xiaoyao.

The remaining members, Wang Wenfei, Madison, Charlie, Leng Youyou, and Hu Yue, all said they would go down the mountain first.

The reason given was simple: "At least we know why we can't go down the road, right?"

The minority yielded to the majority, and in the end, the seven of them walked in the dark and rain for less than twenty minutes before they saw the road destroyed by a mudslide caused by the sudden heavy rain.

"Let's go back."

Having determined one of the reasons why they couldn't safely descend the mountain, the players then turned around and headed back up the mountain.

Looking at Lu Xiaoyao and the others, who resembled a group of cabbages tormented by a storm, Mingmei felt sympathy and shed crocodile tears, the kind of tears that only the big boss would shed.

"You know, my uncle should just tell players not to tell them their names when they enter the game next time. Today's name gave us away—we're a shady business."

While she sympathized with Mingmei, she was still very unhappy that her name had almost caused her to self-destruct.

"Alright, relax, have some tea first."

After saying that, Mu Chen handed over a cup of hot tea. Mingmei took the tea he had just brewed, took a sip, and then squinted her eyes like a cat and let out a comfortable sigh.

When Mingmei finally opened her eyes again, she looked up at a 45-degree angle and revealed a very sinister smile, saying, "But they still have to come to our shop, right? I love watching them do this kind of thing—knowing they're courting death but having no choice but to, hahahahahaha..."

【Host.

Gui Gui suddenly spoke, interrupting Ming Mei's laughter.

Since returning from its studies with the mainframe, Guigui has become less talkative and seems to have developed a more aloof personality. This is the first time it has taken the initiative to speak to me since its return.

【What's wrong? 】

Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and even if your smile is the most sinister, Mu Chen will still see you as the brightest moon in the sky... But! Can you consider the players you're about to meet? Are you trying to expose your identity at any moment by smiling so horribly?

Bright and beautiful: [...]

No, she didn't.

She was just indulging in the villainous role ahead of time.

After all, when she's about to chop those players who unintentionally broke the rules to death with a cleaver, she might not actually be able to pull off the villainous act!

She's never tried doing bad things with a perverted look on her face before! QAQ
