Mingmei had never seen anyone so wary of a mysterious businessman, so much so that when she went to pick up Mu Chen at the underground boxing ring after the boxed lunches were sold out, she mentioned it when no one was around.

"They even used disguise and voice changing techniques!"

Mingmei finds the scene unbelievable when she recalls it.

"I guess they've been tricked by NPCs before." Mu Chen could understand this player's mentality.

Mingmei, noticing the sly glint in Mu Chen's smile, couldn't help but ask, "What do you know?"

"Ah, I don't know, but I've heard that because they've awakened their consciousness, many NPCs have very changeable personalities. Although it's not to the point of turning evil or being redeemed and changing their original stance, it's still very painful for many players."

"Yes, I know that." Mingmei nodded in understanding. After all, she had heard that the NPC who sold boxed lunches was also different from the NPC she played herself and whose personality was derived from her own consciousness.

"So, not all players enter the game thinking about clinging to neutral NPCs or trying to build good relationships with them." Mu Chen stroked his chin. "They're even prepared to be enemies with the whole world as soon as they enter the game."

"This sounds like I'm talking about myself, making me seem like a terrible person?" Mingmei was both amused and exasperated, while Mu Chen smiled wryly.

Jian Yunhe was completely unaware of their banter.

Whether it was bad luck or her personality simply didn't appeal to NPCs, Jian Yunhe was constantly being tricked by NPCs from the very beginning of the game's starting village.

Those memories are too painful to recall!

Holding the boxed lunch she bought from Mingmei, Jian Yunhe sat in her small room, her nerves on edge. Listening to the sounds outside, she ate her lunch in silence, her eyes lowered.

Putting aside the fact that it's a boxed meal, it's really not easy to get a normal meal in an alien ocean qvq

She's played post-apocalyptic survival games with scarce resources before, but this isn't a post-apocalyptic world; it's a normal interstellar era. They've brought this upon themselves!

Ji Jianyunhe simply couldn't imagine that the life she was living now was from the same era as the life she had lived before.

"Long live the Empire..."

As if silently calling out would restore her energy, Jian Yunhe's thoughts began to wander again while she ate.

When she transmigrated, she had crawled out of a pile of corpses. She didn't remember her character's identity information, and even her common sense was a complete blank.

The game she played terrified Jian Yunhe and her family.

She suffered a lot for this in the early stages.

She was afraid of being exposed by NPCs she knew from the original body, and there was nowhere she could get accurate information. After so many days of hard work, she finally entered the dungeon. Although she saw many familiar faces here, Jian Yunhe's eyes darkened again when she thought of the time she spent upstairs.

That place is truly a place that devours people without spitting out their bones; even players who stay there for too long will have their minds affected.

After finally finding a acquaintance and learning a lot of useful information from them, that person actually tried to stab me in the back?

Thinking this, she glanced down at her thigh, bound by bandages beneath her clothes, where a little more deep red blood had seeped out. She cursed under her breath, then fell silent again…

"Heike has recruited a lot of boxers."

With nothing else to do, Lu Gui went to Mu Chen's treehouse again, sat down at the table on the outdoor terrace, put his hands on his head and sighed: "I need to make good arrangements for boxing during this period to prevent hitting 'our own people'."

Speaking of her own people, Mingmei glanced at Lu Gui and saw the disdain in his eyes, so she knew that Lu Gui was not satisfied with the arrangement.

"Speaking of which, Olay hasn't boxed since he was recruited, and neither has Achen recently. Feng Li hasn't asked for it either, so it's been much easier for us to investigate using her reputation."

As Mingmei spoke, she couldn't help but marvel at the differences between Feng Li and Hai Ke. However, Lu Gui said, "You've reversed the order of things, haven't you? According to what you said before, Olai has always been Feng Li's man. Although the audience in the underground boxing ring said that Olai was recruited because of his excellent record and then stopped competing, that shouldn't be the real reason, right?"

"Huh? Now that you mention it, I almost forgot."

Mingmei slapped her forehead and realized the problem.

"It seems that Feng Li doesn't like his people being too prominent."

Lu Gui remembered that Mu Chen hadn't gone there in the past few days, but there were still people there who were thinking about Mu Chen's performance and hoped to see him on stage again.

Even Haike felt a little regretful, telling himself that he was a step too late and missed out on meeting Mu Chen.

"Those still boxing in the ring are either strong free agents living on the ground, or boxers recruited by Heike or close to Heike. The others are nominally in charge but rarely fight, like Mu Chen, O'Lai, and perhaps some others who gradually stopped boxing. They were all recruited by Feng Li."

Lu Gui obtained a lot of useful information when he contacted people from Hai Ke's side.

"Then what about Kelian?" Mu Chen brought out a pot of hot tea from the house, walked to the two of them, sat down in front of Mingmei, and poured her a full cup of hot tea.

Lu Gui, who was sitting on the ground and couldn't bear to watch, secretly pursed his lips.

How did this man grow up drinking vinegar?

“By Clarian… I’ve never heard of him recruiting anyone in the Black Market.” Lu Gui shook his head, looked up at Mu Chen with a questioning look, as if to say, “What about you?”

Mu Chen calmly poured himself a cup of hot water and said, "Yoklian actually has a very good reputation in the orc community, even more so than Hek."
