Dark clouds loomed overhead, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and large raindrops poured down from the sky.

Through the old wooden window, Mingmei looked out at the pitch-black night with occasional flashes of silver lightning, which made everything in the room she was standing in represent two words—old and decayed.

"Smack!"

However, as Mingmei snapped her fingers, the hall, which had been pitch black just moments before and could only be illuminated by the lightning outside, was instantly brightly lit.

Under the dim yellow light, all the old and decaying furniture I had just seen was now coated with a light and warm luster, losing its sense of desolation and exuding a strong retro charm.

Anyone who comes here would probably think this is a small hotel that focuses on nostalgia, right?

"How does it feel to be the BOSS?"

Mu Chen suddenly appeared beside Mingmei. Mingmei did not answer Mu Chen's question, but instead hummed, which showed that she was in a very good mood at the moment.

However, she changed her mind before saying it, adding, "If only it were easier to get the BOSS's credits, and..."

Thinking about what she would have to do behind the identity token she received, Mingmei frowned and stared at Mu Chen: "Are you always this bloody when you're the BOSS?"

Thinking about what this BOSS is going to do next, Mingmei couldn't help but make the face of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

"It depends on luck, but it's okay. Even if you don't do well this time, the credits you get as the BOSS will be mine, and all the credits from the boxed lunches I sell for you will be yours."

Hearing Mu Chen's words, Mingmei felt relieved once again. She reached out and patted Mu Chen's shoulder, saying, "Don't worry this time, I'll work hard to earn you credits~ Hehe, I can't wait to see Lu Xiaoyao and the others cry."

It feels really good to turn the tables and become the BOSS!

"Oh dear, what a pity, I don't know where my uncle has disappeared to. We missed our chance to experience this smart technology!"

Mingmei sighed regretfully.

Although she encountered her unlucky brother on the way to this trip and met her parents after arriving at the station, fortunately, all the attention was focused on Mu Chen.

Although she felt very sorry for Mu Chen, Mingmei had no choice, as her family generally did not hit girls.

At least from childhood to adulthood, she and her sister were rarely beaten. However, if they dared to make their mother cry, their father would teach them a lesson. _(：3」∠)_

This time, when facing herself, Mingmei believed she had been perfectly obedient and hadn't made any mistakes!

Mu Chen was taken away by her father for a chat, and Mingmei didn't dare ask her mother what they talked about.

Mu Chen also said it was a secret between her and her father and couldn't be revealed.

However, precisely because of this, their parents finally let go and allowed them to be alone together for the last part of their trip.

However, before that, Mu Chen was still threatened and intimidated by her mother, who told them not to engage in any intimate behavior that would create negative distance between them.

This trip may be the first time in Mingmei's life that her emotions have been so turbulent.

Upon returning, Mingmei immediately contacted Yan Hui and they discussed various matters, including whether she could get her hands on the script and how her uncle couldn't "mistreat" his niece.

Unfortunately, Yan Hui said he was not at the company and could not modify these settings, but he suggested another feasible method—changing the phone number.

"You and Mu Chen are together now, aren't you? I saw your mom denouncing Mu Chen in the family group chat yesterday~"

"Go back and set up account data sharing with Mu Chen. When you log into the game, you log into his account and he logs into yours. Once you're in the game, your character models will remain the same, but the internal tasks and functions will be interchanged."

"However, you'd better do this less often. After all, your second sister-in-law is your homeroom teacher now. What you're doing is practically cheating. She'll probably find out after you've done it once. Don't expect her to go easy on you." (Biquge)

“Not all players are as clueless as Lu Xiaoyao. The first time a player notices something is wrong, they might not realize it. But if they do notice it a second time and report it to the company, I'll treat it as a complaint and handle it accordingly.”

...

The recollection ended there. Mingmei then watched through the live stream from the backstage as a group of seven players, soaked to the bone by the heavy rain, walked down the mountain.

The game's title is actually quite realistic: "House of Horrors".

The background of the story is also explained very simply.

The story is about a group of hikers who were camping in the wild when suddenly a strong wind and heavy rain started, and even the road down the mountain was destroyed by a mudslide. The group could only walk up the road and finally found a small hotel at the top of the mountain...

Yes, the bloody story begins here~

As soon as Mingmei went online, she read the story synopsis, her own character introduction, and the characters.

Unfortunately, even so, given how short the story synopsis is, it still took players a long time to find this place after entering the game.

Through Lu Xiaoyao's live stream, Mingmei saw a group of players who had the ultimate quest "Safe Descend the Mountain" looking at each other with a "I knew it" expression when the only road down the mountain was washed away.

"So, now that you've seen it, aren't you going to turn back?"

Lu Xiaoyao was soaked to the bone by the torrential rain from the moment she entered the game, and she was cold and tired.

The character didn't have an umbrella either. Although her windbreaker was waterproof, it couldn't withstand the torrential rain slapping her face and seeping into her body, leaving her completely listless.

"I told you I was going up the mountain, but alas, I had to suffer."

Initially, upon receiving the mission to "safely descend the mountain," everyone agreed to first reach the mountain road safely and then descend the mountain along the road.
