Hearing Yu Ling say this, the two of them didn't doubt the big boss's meaning and started eating with their bowls. The village chief felt sorry for the two rich kids as he watched them wolf down their food. Unfortunately, there wasn't much food left at home, so he decided to let them suffer for a while.

After making them suffer, the village chief naturally couldn't make Yu Ling suffer either. He served Yu Ling a bowl of stewed chicken soup, which smelled delicious. If you ignored the black mist floating on the meat, it was still a very tasty chicken soup.

Of course, for the village chief and Yu Ling, who are immune to the black fog, eating as much as they want is no problem. After all, Yu Ling is just an NPC with access to the player panel, not a real player, so she can eat and drink for free no matter what map she's in.

"Hey, Xiaoling..." The old village chief slurped up some soup and started chatting casually, "What do you think of our village?"

"It's fine."

Yu Ling ate with great relish. The chicken soup at the old village chief's house was made using the village's traditional method, which was additive-free and healthier. Even the NPCs who drank it said it was delicious.

Seeing that Yu Ling seemed completely unconcerned, the old village chief dropped a bombshell: "If, and I mean if, you stayed in our village and couldn't leave, would you like to reconsider...?"

The old village chief has a relative's daughter who hasn't been betrothed yet. Recently, Huang Xiaohua's death has caused panic in the village, and the girls dare not talk about marriage for fear of breaking a taboo.

But when a person grows up, they have to get married. Fortunately, Yu Ling is pretty, and they don't care about money. As the head of the village, they can afford to support an idle person.

"We'll see when the time comes. I don't think this village can hold me back." Yu Ling is unlikely to stay, but this chicken soup is quite delicious. I'll have the system remember how to make it so I can make it for him next time.

Old village chief: Aren't you curious why I asked that?

"No, what's there to be curious about? But you're being too enthusiastic, be careful not to get scammed."

Old village chief: This guy is so calm...

Wait a minute, doesn't this young man notice anything off about the village atmosphere? Doesn't he seem a little bit gossipy?

Well, once he's been here overnight and knows about the strange things about their village, he'll understand his good intentions.

Yu Ling knows the whole backstory and is a role-playing NPC, so she has no interest in ordinary NPCs that are just made to fool players.

However, the old village chief had a good impression of Yu Ling and even opened a wine jar that he had been reluctant to drink and drank with her. Yu Ling didn't want to refuse the village chief's kindness, so she chatted with him. He spoke very pleasantly and soon made the old man laugh heartily.

Just as they were having a pleasant conversation, there was another knock on the courtyard gate.

The old village chief's face darkened again. Whose child is so unruly, knocking on the door at mealtime? He put his hands behind his back, signaling Yuling to eat in peace, and then scurried to the gate.

From afar, Yu Ling heard the old village chief ask the newcomer, "Who are you? Who are you looking for? Where are you from?"

"Really? You're lost? Will you need to stay the night?"

"You're crazy! Do you think you're Tang Sanzang? Do you think I'd agree to this? One of them comes and asks to stay at my house, and then another one comes and asks to stay with both of us!"

Muttering to himself as he walked back, the old village chief saw Yu Ling, who had also come to ask for lodging. He finally stopped talking. Good heavens, he had said the wrong thing. But as an elderly man, he would never apologize, so he could only pretend to be clueless and act as if he hadn't said anything.

After a satisfying meal, Yu Ling went back to her room to rest, but the old village chief sighed. He wondered if it was just his age, but he felt like he was nearing the end of his life, and it felt like he had been through it more than once.

The village has poor electricity, but thankfully the old village chief's yard still has electricity, and he can turn on a dim yellow light at night, which is a bit scary in the dark.

Yu Ling didn't sleep. He browsed the player panel for a while and found that there were even mini-games to pass the time, such as "What a Bull," "Jumping Cat Eats Canned Food," and "Never Give Up." It was quite user-friendly.

She had just randomly clicked on one of the games when she saw two people sitting side by side on a makeshift bed, wide awake and seemingly lost in thought. Yu Ling politely remarked:

"Aren't you guys going to play some games?"

game?

Playing games in such a deadly game?

"Hey bro, you don't actually have time to play that built-in heart attack mini-game, do you?" Wang Wei posted a screenshot of the game interface after his 2088th failed attempt. "This game isn't for us, it's for us to play. There's no way anyone can beat it."

When he was playing the first beginner mission and just trying to stay put, he actually opened the game to distract himself. These games may seem free to play, but if you want to use game items or revive in the same game, you have to spend money.

The key issue is that completing a mini-game only rewards you with 100 points. There are thousands of these mind-numbing mini-games out there, and I bet people only play them during their breaks. As for mission worlds, who would dare to open one? What if someone gets frustrated and decides to risk everything to solo the boss? They'd be risking their life!

Wang Wei was filled with mixed emotions, but Yu Ling didn't care at all. Instead, her eyes lit up when she heard that the reward for completing a game was 100 points.

He only earns 100 survival points a year, but he can finish it by playing a game here?

Yu Ling excitedly opened the game.

I lost the game again, completely bewildered.

What the hell is that cat eating canned food game? It even backs up on its own! Dead cat! It's destined to never eat canned food in its life! It's as trash as the system.

Wait a minute, system?

That's true. These kinds of data-driven games require finding data, so why should Yu Ling make things difficult for herself?
