This morning's combat class went overtime.

This was unexpected by everyone. Some people even complained that a four-hour class was already inhumane, and that this extended class time would mean it would go into the afternoon.

However, when the teacher showed the footage of them standing there watching the commotion from the surveillance video, everyone fell silent.

What?!

There's even CCTV footage here?!

No wonder this teacher dared to leave halfway through!

So that means, besides just standing around watching, the teacher actually knew they were slacking off?!

"I mean, is your school usually this scary?"

Mingmei and her group of students from the Central Military Academy were all asked this question by classmates from other schools they knew.

But they've only had classes for a maximum of two hours on weekdays, and the teacher was present the whole time, so how could they not know? (www.cascoo.net)

"It's alright...it's not that scary, they're all the same."

As they were talking, some of them shifted their focus and asked what combat training was like at other schools.

Once that question was asked, it was like opening a floodgate of conversation. Some schools have different majors, and the combat training courses for different majors are all different.

Some schools offer combat training online, some teachers even take them to other undeveloped primitive planets, and some schools, like Mingmei's, have classrooms like this...

So, the group got so engrossed in chatting that they ended up having class dragged on for another hour! (orz)

"Only one class a day? Meimei, what are your plans for the afternoon?"

The school arranged this class today. In the afternoon, they were told to write a 2,000-word reflection on their experiences over the past two days and submit it. They were told to rest well during the rest of the time.

After all, yesterday's games were very mentally taxing, so they had a class scheduled for today. If they hadn't been so reckless, they could have rested much earlier.

"It's nothing, just write down your thoughts, then rest."

As soon as Mingmei finished speaking, she seemed to realize something and turned her head to see Lu Xiaoyao's big, bright eyes looking at her.

"what are you up to?"

"I'm going live this afternoon. It's been several days since my last live stream, Meimei. Do you want to come along?"

"I remember you streamed playing games, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"But we can't duo queue, how can we play together?"

"Ah! I forgot!"

Because they had been playing the school's customized version of the game for the past two days, and their memories weren't suppressed, and since they were all in the same game, Lu Xiaoyao felt that they could play games together.

After Lu Xiaoyao pitifully complained to Mingmei, it was Mingmei's turn to remain silent.

It has to be said that Lu Xiaoyao was right to some extent; they had always been playing games together.

Thinking about this, Mingmei remembered that her uncle was at the school recently. After his speech the day before yesterday, he stayed in the VIP dormitory area arranged by the school, and she heard that there was an office there for him to work in.

Her uncle was indeed a workaholic to some extent.

With that in mind, Mingmei decided to go see her uncle after dinner.

As for Lu Xiaoyao's live-streamed game, Mingmei felt that her 2,000-word reflection wouldn't be something she could finish writing in a short time.

If Lu Xiaoyao hasn't entered the game by the time she finishes seeing her uncle, she might be able to go in and play for a bit to relax.

However, Mingmei didn't expect that Mu Chen was leaving her uncle's place when she arrived.

Even though Mingmei knew beforehand that Mu Chen and Yan Hui knew each other, seeing it with her own eyes now, and thinking about how long they've known each other, it seems like... Mu Chen has recognized all her relatives, hasn't he?

"Yes, Mr. Ruan Xun asked me to give his information to Mr. Yan Hui. What's this?"

Mu Chen didn't expect Mingmei to come at this time.

"I've come to see my uncle! It's been so long since I've seen him!"

"I remember we met at the opening ceremony the day before yesterday."

Before Mu Chen could speak, Yan Hui appeared from behind him, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said in a gesture of shooing him away, "Alright, stop standing at the door. You haven't had lunch yet, so hurry up and go."

"Um."

Mu Chen responded, then looked at Mingmei, and didn't move an inch for a while. Before he could speak again, Yan Hui continued, "Oh my, do you have to be so clingy? You have to say goodbye in such a short time?"

The sour smell of the elderly living alone was so strong that I felt I could smell it from miles away.

Mu Chen gave an awkward laugh, winked at Yan Hui from an angle where Yan Hui couldn't see, and left first. As soon as Mu Chen left, Ming Mei stared at Yan Hui speechlessly.

Seeing Mu Chen leave and Ming Mei looking humiliated, Yan Hui's smile widened. He stepped aside from the doorway and said, "Come in."

Bright and cheerful, touched by her uncle's smile, took off her shoes and went inside, saying, "Uncle, Mom has always been concerned about your relationship status. You don't need to envy me..."

"Hmph~ I envy you?" Before Mingmei could finish speaking, Yan Hui scoffed, "What's the use of dating? It affects my ability to make money."

Bright and beautiful: ? ? ?

She clearly remembered her mother saying that her uncle Yan Hui was a hardcore gamer when he was young, but as he grew up and matured, he suddenly realized that money was the most important thing.

"Hmm, you can't say that. I prefer designing games and watching players get absorbed in and enjoy the experience. Isn't that better than dating?"

Realizing that his first explanation was somewhat cliché, Yan Hui devised a new reason.

Mingmei felt that he was not as good as the first one.

He enjoys watching players play his games, and he believes in that.
