"My God, it really...it's all wasteland..."
Wang Wenfei, who had followed the boys upstairs into their room, didn't know what the others in the kitchen had seen. All she knew was that she was imitating the other two and looking out the window that faced the backyard.
The desolate and dilapidated backyard had a section of the wall that had collapsed, which served as the small gate leading to the vegetable garden.
The so-called vegetable garden now looked more like a weedy wasteland enclosed by a fence. Despite the rain obscuring her vision, she could tell that no fruits or vegetables were planted in the area.
Most of them were wild grasses that grew rampantly, the names of which she couldn't recall.
However, she was puzzled as to why Lu Xiaoyao and the others were so dedicated, personally going to check on the vegetable garden in such heavy rain.
Unfortunately, the rain made it impossible for her to clearly see who the people standing on the ground were; they were very blurry.
“They’ve already gone straight there to see. Let’s see what the boss says now.” Madison also stared at that spot for a while before saying, “I’ll go down and meet them, and then we’ll see what the boss says.”
"Wait a moment."
Charlie and Wang Wenfei worked together, each grabbing Madison's hand. This tacit understanding made Wang Wenfei glance at Charlie again.
Before Wang Wenfei could speak, Charlie said to Madison, "I don't think things are that simple. Didn't Julian see these things with us through the window yesterday? But he still went to check today and had us come up to confirm. I guess he realized something."
"Besides, if it really is wasteland, even if the boss is trying to make excuses, isn't he afraid of being exposed by inviting everyone to see it?"
Wang Wenfei also shared her thoughts, but the next second her expression turned slightly grim, and she said uncertainly, "For the boss to be so fearless, either she has a way to deceive everyone, or... she wants to directly assassinate those four people."
"There are four of us, and we outnumber them, so it shouldn't be that bad..."
But as Charlie looked into Wang Wenfei's eyes, he suddenly remembered that if the game were really based on the number of players, there wouldn't be so many instances of entire groups being wiped out in dungeons.
After the three of them exchanged a glance, Wang Wenfei saw the two boys instantly transform and take out two daggers from the backpacks carried by their characters.
"I think most people who go camping have these things, right? You can go back and look for them too, and we can go down together later."
Seeing that Wang Wenfei was watching their actions without saying anything, Charlie reminded her.
Wang Wenfei immediately returned to her room and took out a dagger. The three of them then carefully went downstairs again.
Just as they reached the top of the stairs, Madison suddenly blocked the two people behind him. The three of them immediately held their breath, and the next second, with the sound of hurried footsteps approaching, Madison threw a punch directly towards the outside of the stairs.
Ouch!
Lu Xiaoyao's cry of pain immediately made Madison realize he might have hit the wrong person. The three of them rushed out of the stairwell, only to see Lu Xiaoyao clutching her forearm, tears welling in her eyes, staring accusingly at the three who had suddenly appeared. cascoo.net
"What are you doing...?"
If Lu Xiaoyao hadn't been quick-witted and immediately raised her hand to protect her face, Madison's sudden punch would have knocked her unconscious.
Knocking her out was one thing, but Lu Xiaoyao was afraid of getting bruised and battered, which would affect the "audiovisual experience" of the live stream.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, why didn't you say anything?"
"What sound should I make at the bottom of the stairs when I'm going upstairs? Can I shout 'Hello, I'm coming up~' at the bottom of the stairs?!"
Lu Xiaoyao almost laughed out of anger at Madison's words. She rubbed her forearm and then looked suspiciously at the three people in front of her who looked tense. She said, "What are you guys doing? I came up here out of kindness to invite you down for a nice meal, and you guys actually tried to ambush me? You punched me right away, that's really something!"
In response, Madison had to apologize to Lu Xiaoyao repeatedly.
He threw a punch without seeing who it was.
"By the way, what was that about having a big meal?"
Wang Wenfei didn't intend to waste time on this topic with Mandyson and Lu Xiaoyao. She looked Lu Xiaoyao up and down and saw that apart from the injury from the punch Mandyson had given her, she seemed to be fine. Only then did Wang Wenfei breathe a sigh of relief.
If Lu Xiaoyao is alright, then the others should be alright too, right?
"Oh! I forgot to tell you, there are so many vegetables in that garden! We just begged the owner to make us braised pork with cabbage tonight, so we came to let you know!"
"ah?!"
Now, it was the three of them's turn to be filled with astonishment and confusion.
"How could this be...where did this cabbage come from?"
Wang Wenfei stepped forward and stared at Lu Xiaoyao's face, seemingly trying to see if it was a prank.
Unfortunately, Lu Xiaoyao was telling the truth.
"Of course it's that vegetable patch! The vegetables are growing so well! And also..."
Lu Xiaoyao then went on and on about the scene they had just been in the kitchen, and how she was standing at the kitchen door looking out at the vegetable garden.
"You...didn't you go to the vegetable garden to take a look?" Charlie asked with an indescribable expression on his face.
"Why go to the vegetable garden? It's raining so hard, you can see it just by standing at the door. You're not blind, those vegetables are growing so well."
At this point, Lu Xiaoyao looked at Madison, who was still not quite understanding what she meant, with a strange expression and complained, "Speaking of which, what's wrong with you guys? Spreading rumors about the boss and the others. It's rare that the boss would put aside past grievances and cook delicious food for us tonight. You guys should apologize to the boss later, and by the way, don't spread these kinds of rumors anymore, okay?"
