His posture of puffing out smoke was just like that of a seasoned smoker, which made Mingmei click her tongue in amazement.

"Ruan Ruan suddenly received a message from the mainframe about half a month ago and left the research institute. It was then that I noticed that there was something wrong with the data in my game. I've probably been too busy lately, and I really didn't notice it."

Yan Hui looked into the void, his eyes reflecting the flickering light of fireworks, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

However, Mingmei was skeptical of his words.

"Uncle, when you gave the NPCs so much freedom, was it really... to make things easier for me inside?"

Mingmei thought of some NPCs she had met in the game. Some of them, like her, had physical bodies in reality, while others might just exist in the game.

As the game's designer and creator, Mingmei felt that the NPCs' loss of control was somewhat unreasonable until Yan Hui realized it.

This situation doesn't make sense.

Was Yan Hui overconfident and negligent in his observation, or did he have other plans and indulge in his own ways, leading to some unexpected incident along the way?

Mingmei couldn't help but become suspicious of what Yan Hui had said about the NPCs going out of control.

In a daze, she remembered the NPC who looked like her father—the God of Cookery.

The NPC's personality is not similar to that of his father, and he seems to be a very well-developed NPC in terms of self-awareness.

While it's true that the Zerg NPCs have gone out of control, what about the NPCs in other games?

Will they undergo any changes afterward?

...

"The game company is being unethical again. Why are they suddenly doing data maintenance?"

The Zerg's attempt to ambush students from their school participating in activities on the desolate planet had just passed, and everyone had returned to their daily studies and work.

Study when you should study, play games to earn credits when you should play...

They only learned about the recent game maintenance, but the game company hadn't even posted an announcement about when it would be fixed.

A bad feeling began to spread in Mingmei's heart...
