Chapter 167
Female clerk: You can also start accepting other related tasks, such as sneaking into her husband's manor.
Female clerk: Someone please come and help me at the garment store. I have to go back to the manor to prepare for my escape and I can’t get away.
Three messages flashed across the screen in succession, and people in the work group immediately popped up.
Rabbit: Sister Snake is awesome! One task led to so many tasks, and this month's KPI was completed ahead of schedule again!
Monkey: Let me go. I’m better at martial arts and won’t be discovered easily.
Rat: It’s just a divorce, why make it so complicated, with all the escaping death and using a substitute.
Rabbit: What else could it be? It must be because my ex-husband won’t let me go!
Rat: The government has approved the divorce, but they still refuse to let me go. Tsk tsk, why bother?
Rabbit: People who do evil things don’t think they will be caught until they are thrown into jail. We can only say that they deserve it.
Pig: Didn't the owner say we'd have a haunted house combo? I haven't been open for three months, boss.
Snake: There is no way. There are not many escape packages recently and it is difficult to get a household registration.
After a few casual chats, everyone went about their business. They were players who knew each other in real life and earned money in this otherworldly world by completing quests for the natives. Although their titles seemed to have some origins, they were actually chosen through a lottery.
Many players like this form groups to complete quests in otherworldly settings. Some simply team up with acquaintances, using a perfunctory organization name and random work schedules. Others join player-run companies in these otherworldly settings, becoming social slaves and enjoying the benefits of social insurance and housing fund. Most players avoid joining indigenous organizations for reasons of offline security. The few who do join either no longer care about deactivating their accounts or are hired as external personnel, their whereabouts uncertain, and they rarely log off with the indigenous members.
Sishe didn't want to go to the Zhuang Mansion to complete the mission so early, so he rummaged around the clothing store alone, packing up the balance that Meng Xin had promised him. In addition to the silver, Meng Xin also gave them some cloth, saying that it could be counted as a loss and would not be discovered.
"The clothes are too conspicuous. If someone finds them, it will cause trouble." Meng Xin took some things away before leaving. As for the things she couldn't take away, she didn't feel bad because she planned to give these things to Sishe and the others. Anyway, she didn't want the Zhuang family to get them at a disadvantage: "You can check the accounts and take anything that is not on the account." Since some people have the nerve to cook the books, don't blame others for taking advantage of them.
Meng Xin was generous, so Sishe naturally provided him with good service. In addition to the death escape package, they also provided Meng Xin with a donkey for travel, which he could sell for money after running enough.
"It's still too hasty. If I had prepared for a few more days, I could have ridden away comfortably. Alas..." Meng Xin, carrying the divorce certificate issued by the government, shook his head happily as he left the city gate and set out on the way home: "Forget it, staying any longer is a torture to myself. I still want to live a few more years!" Thinking that in a few days, his "death news" will be sent to the village by the government together with the divorce letter... The people are so happy today!
"Little Sister"
"Ah? Second sister?"
Outside Linjie City, Meng Xin unexpectedly ran into her second sister, Meng Yue, who looked exhausted from traveling. Seeing her second sister's carriage, she quickly rode her donkey over and asked, "Second sister, why are you here?"
"What's the matter? Do you think that if you only report good news and not bad news, your family won't know anything?" Meng Yue reached out and pulled Meng Xin to the front of the carriage: "Why didn't you say anything when someone bullied you? Wouldn't it be better to drive over for five days and give him a beating? We have plenty of time."
"Don't you think I can hold it in a little longer for the sake of money? No! Sister! Dear sister! I'm out now, so don't go back and beat them up, okay?" Meng Xin laughed. Seeing Meng Yue about to go into the city, he quickly rushed over and grabbed the reins of the carriage in her hand: "If you beat them up, it won't be effective when I try to smear the dealer after I escape! At least wait until they finish escaping before putting them in the sack... Hey? This seems like a good idea!"
"Why don't you beat us? We're not as rich as theirs, but we're not easy to bully!" Although Meng Yue was not very happy, he still loosened the reins according to his sister's strength.
"It's not the time now, sister, let's go home... Isn't mom coming with us?" Meng Xin breathed a sigh of relief, returned the reins to Meng Yue, lifted the curtain and took a look inside, his expression suddenly looked a little disappointed: only the second sister came.
Meng Yue spread her hands and said, "We didn't dare let my mother come, for fear that she would get angry and beat someone up."
孟母家里是开武馆的，当年比武招婿时对孟父一见钟情，硬是把所有上台的男子全部揍趴下，然后将路过时不小心被挤上台的孟父搂在怀里。
Unlike his father who was only slightly proficient in martial arts and his children with varying talents, his mother was a true martial arts prodigy. Beating people and causing injuries was the result of deliberate control, and it was very likely that she would cripple someone if she lost control of her emotions.
Meng Yue: My family is not poor, but I don’t want to spend money on scumbags.
"Okay, what about my brother and dad?" Meng Xin accepted this statement.
"Dad's at home trying to stop Mom! My brother's been busy these days, so I'm the only one who's free." Seeing that Meng Xin wasn't planning on going back, Meng Yue grabbed the reins and turned the car around: "Let's go. Since you have other plans, let's just go home."
Meng Yue: I can’t tell her that my brother thought it was a waste to spend one more person’s rent, so that’s why I was the one to pick up the person.
"Okay! Let's go home!" Meng Xin handed the reins around the donkey's neck to Meng Yue, got into the carriage and put down his luggage. "Oh, by the way, second sister, please take me to the government office to change my name when we go back!"
"Why change the name? Go!" Meng Yue calculated the distance: if he sped up, four days would probably be enough.
"I find it dirty to have my previous name written on the same marriage certificate with that bastard! And I don't want to be harassed by the dealer's people in the future." Meng Xin stretched out his arms and leaned back on the seat. The next second, he was jolted upright by the carriage: Forget it, I'll just lie down happily after I get home!
"Huh? You officially divorced just for this, so why would you change your name, which you've used for decades, just for that family?" Meng Yue was so angry that her voice became louder. "Our family is worried that they'll get entangled in our territory and be bullied. We really don't want to cause trouble. Why don't you just pretend to have amnesia? From now on, you are my beautiful, virgin sister, never married and without children!"
Meng Xin was stunned in the carriage for a moment, then jumped up excitedly on the spot: "Good idea!" Pretending to have amnesia sounds really exciting and interesting!
A passerby driving by: "..." When you are plotting, can you please keep your voice down?
When Meng Xin left Linjie City, Bei Qiao also rode his horse, holding Dudu in his arms, ready to return to Yuanshan Village. The puppy he had picked up earlier was left in the courtyard of Linjie City to look after the house. In reality, the National Day holiday had just ended, and most people had already returned to work or school. This was a perfect time for traveling. There wouldn't be too many people, and the weather was neither too cold nor too hot.
"Where are you planning to go on a trip tomorrow? I've decided on a spur of the moment." Qiao Lin knew his daughter was a person with her own ideas, but this was the first time she was suddenly notified to go on a trip.
"Let's wait and see when we get to the high-speed rail station tomorrow." Bei Qiao opened the high-speed rail APP: "The point is not where to go, but getting out of the house." Although he has been working for less than two months and goes out almost every day in the other world, in reality, Bei Qiao has basically been staying at home for two months. If he doesn't go out, he will probably go crazy.
Bei Qiao: I’m not a very hard-working person, but living in another world is like riding in a car. Even if you let things take their course, you can’t stop unless you brake specifically to give yourself a break.
Other unlucky players: What do you mean by not being able to stop? People with bad luck will run out of money and cancel their accounts in less than two months. They are really taking advantage of others.
"We're leaving tomorrow, have you brought everything?"
"Toiletries, basic medicines, spare clothes, tissues, ID, charging cables, everything is here." Bei Qiao picked up the black backpack on the sofa and showed off his previous organizing results.
"Okay, anyway, except for the ID and charging cable, everything else can be bought outside." Bei Qiao was not the first time to travel independently, so Qiao Lin had nothing to worry about: "Remember to video chat every night and report back."
"no problem."
After packing his luggage and finishing his meal in real life, Bei Qiao went online again for a while. Dudu, who had just finished his meal and had already inspected the yard, was now sleeping by the wall.
Yu Qian came back early and heard the barking of a dog from the opposite yard. She put down her brush and wanted to go find Bei Qiao to play, but was discouraged by the mosquitoes that flew in from the door. She had no choice but to open the forum and send private messages.
Yu Qian: Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao! Are you back?
Qiao Qiao: Yes.
Yu Qian: I saw in the Linjie City spam group that they said the boss lady was scolded.
After repeatedly typing and deleting the words "Should I apologize to the boss lady?", Yu Qian finally only sent the first half of the sentence. In any case, Qiao Qiao was called over by herself to help. If she felt that she should apologize, where would she put Qiao Qiao who came to help?
The proprietress of that garment shop, Bei Qiao, opened the spam group and took a look.
Qiao Qiao: There is not much discussion in the group anymore, so I guess the scolding won’t last too long.
Qiao Qiao: You don’t have to worry too much. People who can open a shop are very thoughtful, and the boss lady knows what to do.
Yu Qian: I'm worried... Is it obvious?
Qiao Qiao: Otherwise, you are not the kind of person who likes to gloat over other people’s misfortunes.
"Ahhh, I shouldn't have said so much!" Yu Qian stood up and jumped around in frustration, accidentally typing a string of garbled characters and sending it to Bei Qiao. After receiving the question mark from the other party, she quickly sent a message to apologize.
"What's there to apologize for?" Bei Qiao clicked on the message and saw the long apology essay. He silently raised a hand to cover his eyes: Some people's occasional people-pleasing personality is quite aggressive, and it hurts my eyes a bit.
