Your past might be about to be exposed!

Yan Hui showed no sign of panic about his past being exposed. He admitted that he had indeed done research at the research institute, and that Ruan Xun's current research was based on a certain aspect of his research.

But what is the connection between Yan Hui, a researcher who has been missing for nearly a hundred years, and this self-proclaimed "genius producer" of the game company?

Just because they have the same name?

They just look alike?

Consider Mu Chen, the adopted son the Mu family chose for the deceased Mu Feize. He looks similar, yet they are not related by blood. What is there to be afraid of? (cascoo.net)

Yan Hui: [Since you've already found out, what am I afraid of? :)]

Ruan Xun: [What if I just give up?]

Yan Hui: [That's perfect. You let them investigate, and I'll see what they find out. It would be best if they found me; I'll personally take care of them :)]

Ruan Xun: [...]

He worried for nothing.

...

I don't know if it's because these students, who are usually well-behaved and academically excellent at school, have suppressed their true nature for too long, but in the game, they are all more and more troublesome than the last.

Although Yan Hui only foreshadowed the power struggle within the upper echelons of the base.

This foreshadowing will eventually affect the stability of the base and have a significant impact on some of the plot developments in the game later on. However, no one expected that because the players were all so troublesome, this foreshadowing would be exposed so early on.

This group of players is already planning to directly overthrow the power structure above.

Some of the more radical players intend to wipe out everyone and take the top spot.

Some also chose to cooperate with certain forces at the top to eliminate some conservative and outdated forces and maintain the stable development of the base.

They belong to the latter group.

With Lu Gui's help, they secretly joined Julian's "father and son" gang, and Mu Chen even secretly met with Julian's father.

When he returned, he couldn't help but marvel at the charm of the game characters, not to mention the allure of real people.

After all, he has been elected president of the Federation for decades and his popularity has consistently ranked among the top three in the Federation. Yan Hui dared to bring this prototype into the game, even if the game is not released to the public, because he still had to consider the feelings of the Federation students.

"With Julian's father as the prototype NPC, if not 100%, most students on the Federation side would have to side with Julian."

Recently, there have been several sudden and intense battles that broke out at night in the base. Some players have died and been eliminated in these incidents, while others have been put on the wanted list and expelled from the base.

Not all of them were extremists; rather, they were recruited by rebellious individuals who refused to submit, and were ultimately made an example of.

Therefore, Julian and his group have been engaging in more clandestine activities recently.

"So, when do we make our move?" Mingmei was also getting a little angry due to recent events.

Since reaching an agreement with the higher-ups on the purchase of boxed meals some time ago, there haven't been any outrageously priced boxed meals appearing on the black market. However, this doesn't mean that the higher-ups have stopped causing trouble.

Her ability to make boxed lunches inexplicably spread, and recently more and more people have been coming to her place to buy boxed lunches. Many of them are not people who have previously contacted her to buy boxed lunches, and some of them are even NPCs.

Those who can't buy it will even squat at the gate of their courtyard and harass them in various ways.

Several times, they were intimidated and scared away by Mu Chen and his group's strength, but many people still came over unwillingly.

If there were a real need, even the NPC Mingmei would sell boxed lunches, but clearly some of these people don't.

It's just like buying New Year's goods before the Lunar New Year. Regardless of whether they like it or not, or whether they need it or not, since others are stocking up, they have to have it too.

Some people don't even know what her boxed meals are for, and they blindly come over to buy them. They think they're a panacea when they're hungry, and they come over when they're sick or feeling unwell!

He lay down right by the door and said he was dying and begged for a boxed meal to save his life.

In response, Mingmei and her team even put up signs on their doors indicating the function of the boxed meals.

Then, after half a day, the sign was gone, and someone had taken it down.

"Those people don't do anything good; they just like to do these crooked and shady things!"

Mingmei was so angry at the thought of those people at the door that she felt her teeth itch. Did those people really think she was some kind of living bodhisattva?

Mingmei now wishes she could kill all those monsters and demons at the top, and then have the new leaders speak out and come up with a reasonable set of rules for the boxed lunch issue, and Mingmei could also reach a new cooperation with them.

She suddenly missed the days when she was a hands-off manager at the base, where she could just do whatever she wanted.

Unfortunately, her partner was unreliable, which led her to become what she is today.

"It should be soon. Lu Gui said that those people up there already dislike us a lot. If we add fuel to the fire, they'll make their move. At that time, Julian will work with his father to devise a plan to deal with us that won't compromise the base's security..."

Mu Chen and Ming Mei were talking in the courtyard when Wang Wenying rushed in from outside. Before the panic on her face could even subside when she saw them standing in the courtyard, she said that something had happened to Lu Xiaoyao and that they had come back to find someone to help.

Suddenly, Mu Chen smiled.

Immediately afterwards, Mingmei smiled too.

They had just said they were missing a torch, but upon hearing Wang Wenying's words, they felt that Lu Xiaoyao had truly arrived with a torch in hand.
