Chapter 125

Shen Yunzhe took out his cell phone. He was extremely glad that he was going out to see a patient, so he always carried his cell phone with him. The man in pajamas and slippers was almost autistic.

[The game "Happy Dumpling House" has been loaded.]

Game Description: A dumpling restaurant has become an internet sensation. Its delicious and affordable dishes have drawn crowds, and countless wedding banquets have been held there. It's packed with guests from morning till night. Several competitors sneak into the restaurant to steal its skills. Remember, don't reveal your identities.

[Main Mission: Host a wedding banquet.]

The main quest was very strange and difficult to understand. Not only Shen Yunzhe, but everyone else present also looked hesitant.

Shen Yunzhe immediately realized that he was unlucky this time, and guessed that the level of this game field was not low.

The announcement turned into a countdown, and they immediately walked towards the dumpling restaurant. It seemed that there were no newcomers this time, but it was estimated that without the surprise Easter eggs, no newcomers would enter the game field. Even if there were, they would be survivors of the invasion of strange creatures. Most of them had been taught the rules of the game field by the official.

After entering the dumpling restaurant, Shen Yunzhe looked around. The man wearing slippers had lost one of his slippers and was looking at his slippers and sighing madly.

"As usual, please introduce yourselves?" Someone looked at the people around him and said, "It seems like there are quite a few of us this time."

Yes, there are really too many players. Even if there are no newcomers, there are 15 people gathered in this game. This is the first time Shen Yunzhe has encountered such a situation, which also indirectly shows that this game field is really not simple.

[Parallel World D00801, Codename: Fraudster is synchronizing, synchronization rate 45%.]

【Synchronization completed.】

Huh? A new peer?!

[Your identity is a bit troublesome. The authorities and another organization are keeping an eye on you. The previous surprise Easter egg was also live-broadcasted, so you can hide it for a while.]

[The peer will be replaced if there are other needs. ]

Shen Yunzhe raised his eyebrows slightly, looked around, then casually took off his coat and threw it to the young man in pajamas next to him. The young man looked at Shen Yunzhe with some surprise. Shen Yunzhe smiled at him and motioned him to put it on quickly. The man immediately nodded gratefully at Shen Yunzhe and put the coat on himself.

Rolling up his sleeves, Shen Yunzhe touched his pocket again. After making sure the hair tie was still there, he took it out and tied his hair.

After growing his hair for several months, it had grown a bit long, at least enough to be tied into a small bun. After tying it up, Shen Yunzhe took a look at his current appearance through the metal next to him. He deliberately restrained the expression on his face to make himself look more difficult to approach.

This action did not attract the attention of others. After all, there were too many players this time.

Everyone present introduced themselves vaguely and hastily. In fact, this kind of introduction is completely useless when there are many people. After all, most people's memory is not so good that they can remember fourteen names and match them with each person's face after hearing them once.

Shen Yunzhe introduced himself as 'Yunxi', with his surname being Yun and given name being Xi. His mother was a lover of romance novels, so she gave him this name. This was his third time entering the game field, and he was supposed to come in half a month later.

As for whether everyone remembered it... Shen Yunzhe felt that everyone probably only remembered the name of the man who was wearing pajamas and ran away with his slippers.

"Happy Dumpling House, what a festive name!" someone complained. "Do you know what this main quest is about?"

Unfortunately, this question is equivalent to not asking.

The quality of these players this time was uneven, and the difficulty of the game field was not even roughly the same. Some were entering the game field for the eighth time, while others had just left the novice game field. There was almost no unified standard. The old players who had entered the game field for the eighth time all shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Just then, a woman dressed as a waitress came over. She saw the group of people here and stared at them with her dark eyes.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"No? You're so lucky! We have an empty private room here that you can use."

The waiter said enthusiastically, and then handed the menus to them one by one, "Guests can order first."

No one knew what was going on. Most of them had no experience of people showing up at the opening. When the waiter came out, his face looked extremely grim. He immediately turned around and ran away subconsciously. Only three or two people took the menu. Seeing that the person who took it was fine, the rest also took the menu.

Shen Yunzhe was also one of those who took the menu nervously, after all, he was hiding now.

After handing the Easter eggs to everyone, the waiter took out a notebook with a smile and asked, "What would the guests like to eat?"

They opened the menu, but their faces looked extremely ugly. They looked at each other, and no one ordered anything.

Because there was no name of the dish on the menu, only a line of big words written in blood.

[Seeing joy is like seeing disaster].

"What can I do about this?" a man complained in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yunzhe sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, after hearing this person's words, the waiter smiled and took out a knife. When the knife appeared, everyone's faces turned pale instantly. They all took a step back, holding the menu tightly in their hands.

"Guests, please order quickly." The waiter stared at them intently, his lips raised high, a forced smile on his face. "I'm very busy. I have a lot of work to do every day. It's because of people like you that I keep working overtime. I'm always working overtime!"

“Order quickly!”

"Hehe, our kitchen has the freshest ingredients, and the dishes our chefs make are delicious. Our restaurant is always packed." As the waitress mentioned the ingredients, her eyes were drooling as she looked at them. "I guarantee, this is the most delicious dish."

"It's delicious, really delicious." The waiter walked towards them, knife in hand. "Why don't you order yet? Don't you know what to order?"

"Would you like me to recommend a special dish?" the waiter smiled. "Every day, many customers order special dishes! And dumplings, we have fillings that other places don't have."

Everyone kept pushing back, and just at this moment someone wanted to ask him to recommend something, but the player next to him quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Who knows what the special dish this thing recommends is?!

"Why aren't you talking?" the waiter asked. "Is the food here not good? Do you want to go somewhere else?"

"Nothing." Shen Yunzhe suddenly spoke.

The people around looked at Shen Yunzhe in surprise. They didn't expect him to speak in such a situation.

Shen Yunzhe said: "Actually, we are here to attend the wedding banquet. The banquet has already started and the host has ordered the dishes. We just can't find the banquet and came to ask for your seat."

"Right?" Shen Yunzhe looked at the others.

"Right, right, that's right." The player next to him nodded quickly. "We just wanted to see what's on the menu. Thank you."

"Oh, that's right." The waitress put away her knife in an instant. She impatiently took the menus from everyone's hands, and her expression changed from attentive to impatient. "The second and third floors are all banquet areas. Go up there and find them yourself. I'm so busy that I don't have time to take you there."

After saying that, the waiter turned around and went back to the kitchen.

As the waiter disappeared, the players present all breathed a sigh of relief, and the combined sounds of their exhalations were particularly noticeable.

"I was scared to death." The young man next to Shen Yunzhe gasped, "I thought I would be told at the beginning."

Another person immediately asked, "Why don't you say you're here to work? Doesn't the game's plot say we're here to steal someone else's skills?"

"I can tell you're not very smart." Qi Xue, the player who had spent the most time in the game, glanced at the person who spoke. "Although the game's plot tells us we're here to steal someone's skills, it doesn't give us the status of a part-time worker. If we were truly part-time workers, the announcement would have specifically stated that."

"In this situation, saying you're here to work can easily reveal your identity."

As for Shen Yunzhe's statement, since there was no need to order dishes and it wouldn't be immediately exposed, which waiter would register every person entering a wedding banquet? Which wedding banquet didn't have a large number of people?

Fifteen people is not too few, but it is not too many for a banquet either.

"So that's how it is." The person who spoke suddenly realized.

"You're brave and careful, young man. You've done a good job." Qi Xue looked at Shen Yunzhe, "Let's go upstairs first to check the situation and explore this area thoroughly."

"Yeah." Shen Yunzhe responded with a single word.

He is a completely silent and taciturn character.

There were so many of them that it was very inconvenient for them to act together, so they had to split into four small teams, each with three to four people, to survey in four directions. Shen Yunzhe was in the three-person team. Besides Shen Yunzhe, there was the unlucky man in pajamas whose coat Shen Yunzhe gave him, and a crying little girl.

The man in pajamas was walking barefoot on the floor. His name was Ma Ran. When he entered the playground, he was just eating and waiting to die at home. There was heating at home and his mother had cooked a table full of delicious food for him. Who knew that the playground didn't care about Wood and dragged him into the playground at this time.

The crying little girl's name is Xing Ruomiao. She was not crying because she was afraid, but because she was going to take the college entrance examination next year. She was writing questions at home and went to the playground halfway through. She felt that if she continued like this, she would definitely not be able to get into university.

"At least you can survive so you can get into university." Ma Ran added fuel to the fire. "If you die here, forget about getting into university, even half of the questions you've done will be in vain."

Xing Ruomiao cried even harder.

The three of them chose the east side of the second floor, and when they left, they could clearly hear some movement in the box.

"Oh my god, there really are people." Ma Ran lowered his voice. "No way? This is the first time I've seen living people in an arcade. Are they living people?"

"This is also the first time I've met a ghost that I can communicate with." Xing Ruomiao said while wiping away tears.

Ma Ran was the real newcomer in the second game, while the little girl Xing Ruomiao was in the fourth game. Neither of them had ever encountered a strange creature that could communicate, and they were very surprised and worried about this situation.

Shen Yunzhe looked inside, then took two steps back and looked at the sign. It was Box No. 2.

"It should be quite large inside," Shen Yunzhe judged. "There are four private rooms on the first floor, and downstairs is a large reception room. Judging from the size of the first floor, each room can probably accommodate dozens of people."

"It's so big." Ma Ran was surprised. "Brother, how did you tell that?"

Shen Yunzhe glanced at Ma Ran and then said, "I can tell fortunes."

"Huh? Fortune telling?"

"Call me Master." Shen Yunzhe said expressionlessly, "I can tell your fortune for you at a low price."

Xing Ruomiao looked at Ma Ran as if he was mentally retarded, probably wondering if there really were such stupid adults.

Ma Ran finally came to his senses. Since the first floor was so big, the second and third floors must be as big as the first. He could roughly estimate the size of the four private rooms and there was no need to calculate them.

After taking a general look, they returned to where they started. They didn't dare to enter the box because there were a lot of noises inside and they were afraid that there would be a room full of ghosts. Not only them, but others probably thought so too, so they soon gathered at the door of the lobby on the first floor.

As the most senior player, Qi Xue was given the authority to lead them temporarily.

"How is it?" Qi Xue asked them.

"This Happy Dumpling Restaurant is huge. The first floor is completely empty, but we found a kitchen and storage room. But the waiter was standing at the kitchen door. He shooed us away when he saw us, and we didn't dare go in to look." The person surveying the first floor said, "But we heard the chef chopping something in the kitchen with great force. Through the glass, it looked like he was using an axe."

"And there wasn't just one waiter, there were waiters in all four directions, but they all looked the same, which scared us to death."

Next is the description of the second and third floors.

There is no difference between the second and third floors this week, but there are four private rooms in four positions, one to four on the second floor and five to eight on the third floor. However, the rooms on the second floor are full, and there is no sound in room number eight on the third floor. The waiter once said that they had vacated a room, and he probably meant room number eight.

No one dared to enter the box to see what was going on. Just when everyone didn't know what to do next, someone suddenly opened his eyes wide and backed away.

In front of them, the waiter came over again.

She looked at the players with a smile, "Why are the guests still standing here? Is something going on?"

"No, no." Someone shook his head quickly.

"If you have nothing else to do, please return to the room as soon as possible." The waiter said with a smile, "You're delaying our work here and blocking our door. What will we do if the guests don't come?"

"Don't linger here or we'll call security."

The people present were not fools. They quickly went to the second floor, knowing clearly that the waiter was telling them not to stay outside the box for a long time.

This could be a death rule!

"What should we do now?" someone asked anxiously.

Behind them, the waiter watched them go upstairs. She actually followed them with a smile, her eyes full of greed. She licked the corners of her mouth from time to time, and everyone could see her saliva secreting, as if they were not people, but a dish in the waiter's bowl.

Everyone's scalps tingled when they were looked at, but they didn't know what to do.

The waiter followed them at a distance of two meters. As he watched, he raised his hand to look at his watch, and the greed in his eyes grew more and more.

"We have to get into the box now. This thing is staring at us. We don't know how long we can stay outside the box." Qi Xue's face was also very ugly. "What kind of playground is this? Why are the rules and main tasks so unclear? We have to try everything ourselves!"

"Everyone go knock on the door!" he said. "No matter which box it is, if the door opens, go in!"

Now there was no way to think about what was inside the box. They were like a piece of meat being stared at by the waiter, and would soon be bitten by the waiter.

"I'm so hungry." The waiter kept looking at his watch. "I'm so hungry. Slurp, I want to eat something. I want to eat dumplings."

"When will the guests leave and when can I eat?"

"I want to eat snacks. I'm so hungry. Snacks, snacks..." The waiter stared at them dimly and swallowed his saliva.

Everyone dispersed and quickly knocked on the door. Shen Yunzhe looked around and finally walked to box number one.

When he went up to the second floor, he stopped in front of each box. The other boxes were very noisy, but this box was relatively quiet, a little unusually quiet, but in a noisy environment, almost no one would hear the knock on the door. The quieter it was, the easier it was to open the door.

After Shen Yunzhe knocked on the door, two people quickly followed, one of them was Qi Xue. Seeing Qi Xue coming, three more people gave up knocking on the box door and quickly ran here.

Qi Xue is the player who has spent the most time in the game here, so it is normal for them to think that they can avoid danger by following Qi Xue.

Shen Yunzhe glanced at them, Qi Xue nodded at him, and then knocked on the door.

Sure enough, with a click, the box door opened quickly.

A little girl wearing a crown stood at the door of the box. She tilted her head and looked at the people at the door. "Who are you?"

Shen Yunzhe glanced inside the box and said, "We are here to help you celebrate your birthday."

"Celebrating a birthday?" The girl's eyes lit up and she opened the door. "Then come in!"

They quickly entered the box. As they came in, they heard the waiter outside make a regretful sound, as if a piece of meat had slipped out of his mouth. Someone breathed a sigh of relief. The little girl pulled them in, and soon they unexpectedly saw that there were two adults in the box besides the little girl.

They were obviously the little girl's parents.

"Mom and Dad." The little girl threw herself on the two adults. "Are they the people Mom and Dad invited to celebrate your birthday?"

The couple hugged the little girl intimately. They looked at Shen Yunzhe and others with a smile, then nodded lovingly.

"Yes, because Lili always says that she has no children to celebrate her birthday with, so we invite friends to celebrate Lili's birthday. Does Lili welcome them?"

"Welcome! Thank you, Mom and Dad, thank you, Uncle and Aunt!"

The family of three gathered together again.

The six players present looked at each other, they looked at each other, and finally forced a smile. The little girl happily ran over to point out their seats and asked them all to sit down.

Shen Yunzhe sat on the edge, watching the little girl spinning happily, and the couple applauded her happily.

It looks like a lot of fun, completely different from a playground.

Qi Xue was also watching this scene, his eyes full of scrutiny, as if he was looking for some loophole.

"It doesn't look weird at all." Someone complained.

"But don't you think it's weird enough that such a warm place appears in the game field?" someone replied.

Shen Yunzhe sighed.

Now all we can do is wait quietly for things to develop.
