"This time it went very smoothly as you described~ You've taken care of all the players."
He had heard about Mingmei and Muchen switching roles to experience the game a long time ago, and Yan Hui had even given him some information about it.
After all, Mingmei has always been a laid-back person with few emotional fluctuations. Now that she's in a different role, the school's student mental health monitoring system will definitely notice.
Sure enough, the next morning, Mingmei brought her to see him under the pretext that she had experienced "excessive emotional fluctuations and multiple extreme emotions" in the game.
Ruan Xun was quite surprised by Mingmei's performance in the game.
The scenes depicting Mingmei displaying extreme emotions all occurred during her battles with other players.
Extreme acts of killing and extreme negative emotions occurred almost everywhere.
A single fatal blow, a malicious pursuit—the extreme emotions accompany each act of blatant killing for as long as it lasts.
Even when Mingmei was chasing down four players in a row, he noticed the data detected by the system. His negative emotions were high for almost the entire day, with no sign of abating.
However, besides moments of carnage, there are other situations where even bright emotions can be extremely negative.
Ruan Xun looked down at the scene where Mingmei, dressed in a disheveled nightgown, was sitting there holding Mu Chen's face. The girl held the man's face in front of her expressionlessly, with an undisguised dark and obsessive light in her eyes.
The whole scene looks both sultry and gloomy.
Ruan Xun grew increasingly curious as he looked. What was Mingmei thinking at that moment?
Could it be that they intend to "devour" Mu Chen alive?
"Uncle, you know that's not what I meant."
Just as Ruan Xun was lost in thought, Mingmei interrupted the centenarian bachelor's reverie.
Mingmei, who had been relaxing on the sofa, suddenly sat up straight.
She looked up at Ruan Xun sitting opposite her and said seriously, "What I want to say is that playing a villainous boss and playing a mysterious businessman are completely different experiences."
"Different functions, naturally different."
Hearing Ruan Xun's tone, Mingmei frowned.
Clearly, Ruan Xun was playing a game of cat and mouse with himself.
"But isn't there too much negative emotion involved in playing the villainous boss? And the actor is required to empathize with the character. Those extremely negative emotions would be unbearable for a normal person."
"Just tell me directly that you're worried that Mu Chen playing the villainous boss will affect his mental and physical health~"
Ruan Xun directly pointed out what Mingmei really wanted to express, causing Mingmei to pause for a few seconds.
"If you don't tell Yan Hui this, there's nothing I can do to help you."
As soon as Ruan Xun pointed out her true thoughts, she immediately dismissed them, leaving Mingmei feeling somewhat annoyed.
If she could contact Yan Hui, would she need to tell her uncle Ruan Xun?
"How long has Mu Chen been doing this job?"
Seeing this, Mingmei could only ask another question, to which Ruan Xun's face suddenly became serious.
He looked at Mingmei and asked again, "You really want to know?"
"Don't tell me to ask Mu Chen. I haven't told him, and I don't think he'll tell me on his own. But I still want to know, so I can only come to you. My intuition tells me that you know too, so I'm going to ask you!"
To prevent Ruan Xun from suggesting she ask Mu Chen or Yan Hui again, Mingmei directly blocked all such suggestions.
"Ha~"
Ruan Xun was amused by Mingmei's reaction and shook his head. Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Mingmei felt a little disappointed, but then she heard someone say in her ear, "Fifty years~".
"What?!"
Mingmei suddenly looked up and met Ruan Xun's serious gaze. She heard "fifty years" again, and in that instant, her pupils involuntarily contracted sharply in surprise.
Fifty years!
What does this mean?!
Since the game's inception, Mu Chen has been a constant presence within it, playing the role of various villainous bosses?!
"Uncle, you must be joking, fifty years..."
Mingmei snapped out of her daze and chuckled awkwardly, looking into Ruan Xun's eyes. Ruan Xun didn't say anything more, just looked at Mingmei quietly, letting her think things through on her own.
Finally, a look of mixed emotions—wanting to cry and wanting to laugh—appeared on her bright face, much like the awkward expression she often showed when she first started having facial paralysis and was trying hard to smile kindly at others.
"This isn't a job! Fifty years... Isn't this some kind of torture?"
"Yes, this is the punishment he deserves."
The smile that usually graced Ruan Xun's face gradually disappeared. Staring at Mingmei's surprised expression, he said, "He made a mistake, which is why he received this punishment. He is tormented by extreme emotions every day, experiencing all the unfulfilled desires and bitter separations of villainous characters. He has to go through it all."
"Then, he also needs to regularly check his mental state. If it's not normal, he'll eventually end up like those villainous bosses in games, bang!"
As she spoke, Ruan Xun made an explosion gesture with her hand: "Either you'll be destroyed by the players, or your own self will be destroyed~"
"So, every time he empathizes with those extreme, dark negative emotions, he has to try to sober up and adjust his state after the game ends. Then, with the mindset of an ordinary person, he empathizes with those terrible emotional memories again... This cycle repeats until his punishment time ends."
"Why……"
Mingmei was stunned. Who came up with such a terrible punishment?
Meeting her bright, bewildered eyes, Ruan Xun replied lightly, "Because he made a mistake. Making a mistake means atonement, it means accepting punishment. He behaved well and got through it, so now... he's free."
