"Yo~ A rare guest!"

On the evening of the fourth day after opening her shop in this game world, Mingmei saw Zhen Hu and Julian standing at the entrance of her shop, both looking exhausted.

Bai Xiao, who was originally going to pick up Yuan Fang, was also surprised to see the two of them, and Ming Mei even said, "Rare guests."

"I'm working overtime every day, and I finally manage to log off on time."

Zhen Hu sighed and said, "I'm really worried that I'll be eliminated because I'll die from overwork before I've even found out anything."

Julian, on the other hand, did the same. He went into the store, sat down in a booth, and sprawled out like a couch potato, saying, "You guys don't understand where I've been working overtime these past few days... The NPCs here have absolutely no rights! It's all gray and gloomy everywhere, there's nothing there except for the countdown above your head with the line 'Working Overtime' added on it. I almost went crazy with the three-day countdown!"

"Of course, you don't have any interaction with the boss, so naturally you won't be working overtime."

Mingmei turned around and poured two glasses of water. Mu Chen took them and handed them to the two people over there. The shop, which was not big to begin with, now seemed a bit crowded because of the six people standing inside.

"Please sit down, everyone. It's rare to have so many people here. Let's exchange information properly."

Seeing that Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang seemed to be getting up to leave, Mingmei called out to them, "These past few days, everyone has been busy in different places. You must have made some different discoveries, right?"

After they finished speaking, they each began to recount what they had seen and heard in the past few days.

Yuan Fang didn't know much. He occasionally received some staff or teachers from the school at the shop and heard about some school affairs, but nothing major had happened recently.

Bai Xiao, who was at school, had more to say. Although some of the things Mingmei and the others had already heard before, she was mainly telling these two overworked office workers what they wanted to hear.

The content ranged from teachers being fined and given demerits for gossiping in the men's restroom after being overheard by the principal, to female students arranging fights in the women's restroom due to romantic entanglements, only to be apprehended on the spot by teachers who had arranged it beforehand.

The teacher successfully mediated between the two female students and also brought to light the unseen third party, the boy who had caused the conflict.

The person they caught was none other than Nanagi.

The moment the gossip, seemingly unrelated to the main storyline of the game, was mentioned, everyone's attention instantly focused. They all looked at Bai Xiao with curiosity, listening with great interest.

Nanagi is also wronged. How can he respond when two-dimensional characters are jealous of each other while playing a game?

He himself was also a victim of injustice. It is said that before he transmigrated, this NPC said to the two jealous girls, "I will date whoever is more powerful."

This girl has really taken the script of a campus romance novel heroine with a twisted twist.

Nanami was completely bewildered when she was approached.

"And then what happened?"

This left Nanami Anemone herself completely bewildered, and those who heard it were equally confused, all eager to know what would happen next.

"Later... the guy named 'Danny' played by Nanami is Li Yuan's uncle and nephew. As you know, Li Yuan plays the role of the school principal."

The matter was naturally suppressed, and one of the two girls seemed to have been persuaded to leave.

As Bai Xiao spoke, she sighed that money makes things easier. Mu Chen, upon hearing this, recalled what Li Yuan had said earlier and frowned slightly.

"Huh? They're telling us to quit over something so small?" Mingmei found it hard to believe and looked at Bai Xiao suspiciously. "Is what you heard accurate?"

"Of course. This matter is not allowed to be spread on the school's online forum. Some students talked about it while they were in the bathroom, and I heard it clearly from the stall."

"It was just a jealous argument, and the fight was stopped by the teacher before it even started. Logically, if they wanted to calm things down, they should have just given a few words of criticism. How did it turn into being expelled?"

Zhen Hu and Julian didn't understand this move either.

“I don’t think what you heard is all there is; there may be a lot of information that hasn’t been leaked…” Everyone agreed that something was amiss.

"I'll ask Li Yuan when I deliver the milk tomorrow."

Mu Chen made this remark, and Julian, upon hearing it, remarked with a sigh, "Among all of us, the roles we've chosen... seem to belong to Li Yuan as the most formidable!"

Originally, everyone wanted to let the matter drop as Mu Chen had suggested, but now they suddenly remembered the incident of Li Yuan and Hu Yue kissing passionately in the street a couple of days ago.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the top of Julian's head.

It seemed as if there was a radiant light there!

Well, it's not Julian who's been cuckolded, it's just that this character is very cuckolded.

Julian felt that everyone's eyes were on him, and he thought they wanted to know what he knew!

This made him feel guilty.

He was always kept in a state of isolation, like being locked in a dark room, and had no access to any information.

Zhen Po was similar to him; she would go home one day out of every four days, eat, sleep, and then go back to work. Her routine was so simple that you could see it all at a glance.

The only difference should be—

"My character's wife—she told me to go to the parent-teacher conference at school next week."

"Is that so?" Julian looked blank when he heard Zhen Po's words. He obviously didn't know about this. The last time he was called to see the teacher, it was Hu Yue who handled it.

"Yes, the child's mother said that Mona specifically requested that I participate."

The players present now basically know that Zhen Hu has become the boss's father, and they look at him with extreme sympathy.

Listen to that!

It seems that Zhen Hu has caught the boss's eye.

"Don't let it slip, or else..."

Mu Chen patted Zhen Hu's shoulder earnestly, staring at him intently, "What if the other party realizes you're not the original owner..."

Mu Chen didn't even dare to imagine how Zhen Hu would die.

Through Lu Xiaoyao's perspective, Mingmei has deduced that Mona is interested in the character of Lu Xiaoyao. And based on the subtle hints that Mona sometimes makes, Mu Chen thinks that Mona may have another person she is interested in.

Although she rarely mentions it, it's always been reflected in her behavior. Mona may have some special feelings for her stepfather; otherwise, she wouldn't keep asking Lu Xiaoyao about her opinion on her father.

The underlying hostility towards her mother was also like this.

It's unclear whether this distorted feeling stems from Mona's own twisted thinking or from something the original character played by Zhen Po did...

Thinking about it this way, Mu Chen felt a headache coming on. He seemed to have a vague idea of ​​what Mona was going to do.

However, he felt that this wave was going to be a nightmare for Zhen Hu.

Just as Mu Chen said, Zhen Hu suddenly felt a toothache.

I'm so unlucky!

"Hey bro, wanna go together?"

After thinking for a long time, Zhen Hu really didn't want to face Mona alone, so he suddenly encouraged Julian to go and participate as well.

"OK."

Julian agreed. He hadn't seen Lu Xiaoyao in a long time, and he felt he should indeed find an opportunity to visit her.
