To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the escape game, the game company launched a special perk event—players could draw an NPC character to experience the game from an NPC's perspective.

As soon as the news spread, Mingmei received an enthusiastic application from Lu Xiaoyao.

"Meimei! You're a senior executive at a game company now, so go easy on me, just once, just once!" After graduating from military academy, Mingmei didn't continue in the army; instead, she obediently returned to work for her uncle.

Although her uncle said that the game company would belong to Mingmei in the future, Mingmei was not really willing to take it over.

After all, Yan Hui's workload was so intense that he practically slept at the company all day, which she couldn't handle.

"You don't believe in your own luck?"

This event was planned by Mingmei and the company's operations department. Although it had a slightly satirical element, it was very successful. Before the event even officially started, the number of pre-registrations had already exceeded 100 million.

During the month-long anniversary celebration, it will truly be a "massacre" of players in various games.

As an NPC player, watching various real players play around while holding the script, you are completely different from them who know nothing.

Players who already struggle with normal NPCs in the game will find encountering these "living" NPCs an even greater disaster.

The live stream of the game will definitely be very successful.

This is especially evident for Lu Xiaoyao. If she doesn't draw an NPC, she might actually be played to death by the NPC.

"Can I believe that?" Lu Xiaoyao looked at Mingmei with a look of disbelief, wondering why Mingmei had such a strange confidence in her luck.

"I'm so unlucky, okay?" Lu Xiaoyao said, listing the things that happened to her while playing games. To this, Mingmei really wanted to say that Lu Xiaoyao's bad luck was Schrödinger's bad luck.

She was incredibly lucky, as if God was giving her a gift, but she just couldn't control it and ended up making a mess of things.

In the end, she blamed her bad luck. All Mingmei can say is: 6!

The Weibo topic also included Lu Xiaoyao: #My rebellious and unruly silly daughter: She never eats the food that God and her father bestow upon her#.

"You have to help me! I even made a bet with the viewers in my live stream: if I don't get an NPC character during the anniversary celebration, I'll do a handstand and poop!"

Mingmei: "If I had known this would happen, why would I have made the bet?"

Mingmei had no idea how Dalu and Xiaoyao's bet had turned out this way.

That's outrageous!

"I know, I know, I'll ask the tech department later..."

However, despite saying that, when it came time to draw lots, she didn't ask the technical staff to do anything. As expected, Lu Xiaoyao still got an NPC—the one who sells boxed lunches.

LOL, one day the person buying boxed lunches will become the person selling boxed lunches.

Because of this, Lu Xiaoyao was very proud when she got the result in the live broadcast, and Mingmei also told Mu Chen about it.

Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said, "You should ask her if Julian has participated in the lottery, so they can just participate together."

Mu Chen smiled and enthusiastically recommended the path he and Mingmei had taken in the game back then. Mingmei raised an eyebrow, thinking that Mu Chen's intentions were truly—a brilliant idea!

"I'll ask my uncle to make some arrangements later~" Mingmei said with a smile, "Then we can both enter the game and watch as players~ It's been a long time since we went on a date."

After she finished speaking, her bright eyes looked at Mu Chen with a hint of resentment, especially since they were having a candlelight dinner. But then Mu Chen's personal computer lit up again.

This flash means he's got something else on his mind.

After graduating from military academy, Mu Chen originally wanted to join the company to help Mingmei, and Yan Hui agreed, after all, this kid was full of bad ideas, no, he was full of whimsical ideas!

Unfortunately, Mu Chen was taken away by her second brother and joined the army of Hua Yanxing.

The Zerg have suffered heavy losses, but her brother still has hands and feet and can roam around. In addition, Huayan Star has only been established for a few years, and many constructions and external defenses have not been completed. The transfer of the star system center from Hualan Star to Huayan Star will still require various processes.

There was a shortage of manpower, so Mu Chen was really busy every day after being taken there. Although the two were on the same planet, they still couldn't see each other every day when they were busy.

Even during the Chinese New Year this year, Mei Shi was still wondering when the two of them would get married, but her uncle spoke first, saying that she had to deal with the company and was busy building her career.

Her second brother then added that Mu Chen would also help him manage border defense matters.

Young couple: 6

When you're busy, do you never care about the well-being of that young couple?

...

The game's anniversary arrived quickly. Mingmei and Muchen made a pact, and with Mingmei's game privileges, the two directly entered the game where Lu Xiaoyao was playing.

It's a coincidence that it was the hotel game where she and Mu Chen switched roles.

"Brothers! Look, I'm the NPC selling boxed lunches in this game, hahaha!" Lu Xiaoyao has been ecstatic ever since she was selected as an NPC, and she became even more smug during her live stream after entering the game today.

I wish the live stream would be filled with envious comments.

However, to Lu Xiaoyao's even greater surprise, Julian ended up playing another game with her, this time as the villainous boss.

“This game… I felt it was unfair when I first played it. How could someone selling boxed lunches be married to the villainous BOSS?” Lu Xiaoyao nodded silently and started chatting with Julian while they sat facing each other before the other players arrived.

"I remember when we first played this game, the boss was selling boxed lunches, and the boss's wife was a serial killer."
