A forum on StarNet, a forum for complaining about escape games:
[As the title suggests: This game is really lowering its standards lower and lower]
OP: Damn, who is the design genius who designed such cute NPC characters in "The Grudge of the Doll"?
1st floor: Right? Everyone who saw this was confused, and then...
2nd floor: Hehe, here's the person who got their head bitten off and logged off the game.
3rd floor: Oh, I'm fine. I'm the one whose neck artery was bitten off.
4th Floor: Ugh!! I hate this lousy game company!! It's outrageous!
5th Floor: ? ? What's going on? Is there a mole? Why was my rant censored?!
…
Lou: Oh, and why do the boss and the NPC selling lunchboxes share the same face? Why can't they be a handsome man and a beautiful woman like before?
Lou: That's right, the recent game updates are terrible. How can they let the lunchbox vendor share the same face with other NPCs? It's outrageous!
...
"Ha, I knew I'd get yelled at for taking care of kids!"
Despite saying she's easily offended and can't stand being scolded, Mingmei is currently lying in her custom-made office chair, enjoying a full-body massage while her gaze falls on several different light screens projected from above.
In the forum section where people complained about their games, Mingmei only made a few comments and then stopped talking.
Anyway, she can now understand what her uncle was thinking back then.
Go ahead and complain, everyone who's going to play the game still has one.
Thinking about it, she looked at the other screens and was surprised to find that Hanhan and Fanhe were in the same game.
Because the children were all quite good-looking, Mingmei didn't use their faces directly in the game. Instead, she asked the art team to design a shared face for the female NPC and a shared face for the male NPC.
This time, the BOSS and the NPC selling boxed lunches don't have the same face.
However, to her surprise, Lu Xiaoyao was also there.
"Hey, what role does Lu Xiaoyao play in this game she's streaming?"
Mingmei rubbed her temples. "Wa Yuan" is a 30+ escape game recently released by their game company. The background is set in a not-so-scientific modern society, starting with a series of murders in City A.
When Mingmei saw Lu Xiaoyao's perspective, she felt a sudden darkness before her eyes.
Lu Xiaoyao was assigned the role of Captain A in the criminal investigation team in this game.
Given that Lu Xiaoyao has obtained the identity of detective chief, if she were to investigate the ultimate truth of the game and infinitely prolong the game time, Mingmei feels that it would be comparable to having Lu Xiaoyao shoulder the heavy responsibility of fighting against the entire Zerg alone.
She had previously made an agreement with the children that they would only participate in one game character experience each day.
This means that Mingmei will be picking up the child from school soon.
"I'm going to open the game pod and go into the virtual space to check out Lu Xiaoyao's live stream."
Mingmei said she would pick up the child and take her home soon, but she was still hoping that Lu Xiaoyao could hold on a little longer, otherwise she wouldn't have planned to open the virtual space to watch her live stream.
Before entering the holographic space, Mingmei, still unwilling to give up, asked one more question: "Are there any acquaintances in this game? Someone who can help Lu Xiaoyao?"
The only response Mingmei received was a moment of silence from Guigui.
Before Mingmei resigned herself to entering the all-encompassing space, Guigui added, "Does Zhen Po count?"
Mingmei: "..."
It might not count.
If Zhen Huming thought that with his unique trait of being likable to children, he might be able to help, he was definitely better than Zhen Po, who perfectly inherited his teacher's violent aesthetics.
Other games might be fine, but this kind of game that requires brainpower is really not suitable for the two of them.
Mentioning Zhen Hu, Mingmei recalled that Zhen Hu had just gotten engaged last year.
Because the person he was to marry was Ria, the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Mori, the engagement banquet caused quite a stir in the entire central elite circle!
Although it's not shameful for a widow to remarry, this story still seems quite surreal to those in the know.
For example, Lu Xiaoyao, who was perfectly fine, was suddenly elevated a generation by Zhen Hu and became the husband of the aunt next door.
What surprised everyone the most was that the marriage was arranged by the grandchildren of Prime Minister Mori.
Is it okay to find yourself a stepfather?
The original plan was to get married last year, but because he was labeled with unpleasant names like "gold digger" and "unconventional rich man's son-in-law" because of his relationship with her, Miss Liya finally decided to get engaged to Zhen Hu first, and then hold the wedding after Prime Minister Mori's two children came of age.
At that time, Liya will leave with Zhen Hu, abandoning the halo of being the daughter-in-law of the Sen family, and marry Zhen Hu as an ordinary woman.
For Zhen Hu, who truly loved Liya, he agreed without hesitation.
However, the two Mori kids, who originally wanted to find themselves a stepfather, are now feeling emotional. They think it would have been better not to find a dad at all _(:3」∠)_
When Lu Xiaoyao later accidentally found out what the two were thinking, she almost died laughing. They couldn't get their fathers by not wanting their mothers, and in the end, they lost their mothers instead of their fathers.
Lu Xiaoyao was convinced.
Of course, this is all just a joke.
Zhen Hu has always treated the two children very well over the years, and there's nothing to criticize about him; otherwise, Prime Minister Mori wouldn't have agreed so readily.
With Prime Minister Mori's approval, Zhen Hu's life has become increasingly busy, creating a stark contrast with the carefree bachelor Zhen Po.
When Lu Xiaoyao came out of the crime scene, she met Zhen Po, who was holding a reporter's ID, and couldn't help but tease her a few times.
"Hot fact: you won't die if you don't get married." Zhen Po then casually flexed his muscles and added, "Also, it's their loss if they don't like me."
