Mingmei stood in front of the gate of what looked like a school building and looked up at the sign: "Old West Side Chef's Dream School".
Mingmei was at a loss for words when it came to this name.
Silently, she watched as the backend displayed the game's synopsis for this new game: "[This is an escape game where a group of young men and women with dreams of becoming chefs pursue their dreams.]"
That's damn simple!
"Heh, what kind of escape risk could a chef possibly have?"
After criticizing Jianjie, Mingmei also muttered a comment about the game's design.
Because the player's mission in this round is also quite unpredictable – [Prepare food to satisfy the God of Cookery using the ingredients specified by him~]
Could it be that her uncle was caught and beaten senseless by her father when he came back?
Is this what you call an escape game?
"They're all chefs, and I'm selling boxed lunches in front of a bunch of cooking students... how can I possibly sell them?"
[Host, you must have confidence and trust Mr. Yan Hui. Since this new game is classified as an escape game, it must have something special about it!]
Gui Gui, however, reminded Ming Mei not to let her guard down.
"Hmm... I think this is a good thing to say to the players who come here to learn how to cook."
The school's only teacher, the master chef, is waiting for you, his assistant, to make your appearance in the classroom!
Suddenly, a notification sound from the back end made Mingmei realize her apparent identity in this game as a game merchant—an assistant to the culinary master teacher at a cooking school.
This is yet another identity that allows you to proactively reach out to players.
Thinking it over, Mingmei went straight into the campus and followed the instructions to the classroom where the player and the NPC Chef God were.
Mingmei didn't ask any questions along the way and directly asked Liu Liu to transfer Lu Xiaoyao's live stream to her.
It's already an open secret that Mingmei and Lu Xiaoyao are in the same game.
As a result, as soon as the live stream started, a huge, handsome face appeared out of nowhere!
Wow! The NPCs in this game are surprisingly good-looking!
[Haha, beautiful chef, let's stick together!]
[Oh my god! If this is the villain in this round, I'm surrendering immediately!]
[It doesn't seem likely. There shouldn't be any villains in this game. Didn't the little one just say they were learning to cook? There shouldn't be any villainous NPCs in this game.]
[Exactly! How can someone so good-looking be called a villain?]
[Wow—this NPC looks really...so ascetic! Look at his clothes, how can he be so covered up? Shouldn't we take them off?]
Hey! Whose pants are down there?
...
Seeing the intense discussion on the live chat about the new NPC's face, Mingmei's lips twitched violently. She just wanted to know what the point was of having her dad's face in the game.
Did her uncle get a severe beating from his father after he went back, and then, in a fit of despair, decide to "take them both down with him"?
Or did her father really give his permission?
Mingmei glanced at the NPC's stern and unsmiling appearance again. She had moved past her initial suspicions and began to assess how much of her father's personality this NPC, who bore the title of "God of Cookery," had actually replicated.
After watching Lu Xiaoyao's live stream again, she realized that she knew all six players except for the rust-colored short-haired man standing next to Lu Xiaoyao, whom she wasn't very familiar with.
This game has seven players: Lu Xiaoyao, Mu Chen, the Zhen brothers, Lou Jia, and Yuan Fang.
As for the tall, thin man with rust-colored short hair and blue eyes that Mingmei didn't find particularly familiar, he was Lu Xiaoyao's older brother, Lu Gui, a new transfer student in their special admissions class.
He looks like a sharp icicle wrapped in layers of soft, thin silk. The first time you touch him, you'll feel comfortable, but if you touch him for a long time, you never know when the sharp icicle inside might pierce your hand.
However, Mingmei was quite surprised by the other party's closeness to her. At noon, he even invited her to lunch under the pretext of Lu Xiaoyao.
Along the way, Mu Chen also followed.
However, Mingmei felt indigestion during the meal: Mu Chen and Lu Gui were exchanging riddles and sarcastic remarks; while Lu Xiaoyao boldly watched the whole thing with a "Wow wow wow" expression.
Mingmei no longer wanted to think about what happened at noon.
Ugh!
However, unpleasant things always seem to follow you around.
When Mingmei pushed open the classroom door and appeared in front of the players, Lu Gui was the first to speak, blurting out a flippant "Oh my~ another beauty~".
Mingmei's eyelids twitched, and she almost blurted out, "Sorry, wrong place," and then closed the door and left!
What's wrong with Lu Gui's personality?!
Despite mentally preparing herself, Mingmei ultimately maintained her most comfortable expression—no expression at all—and walked in.
She bypassed the crowd and went straight to the NPC who looked exactly like her father, hoping that "her father" could help her.
Sure enough, it must have been his uncle who made some special settings for this NPC, because this chef NPC really did have the loving gaze of an old father.
Immediately afterwards, the other party turned around and his sharp eyes shot directly at all the players present except for Lu Xiaoyao!
In particular, he glared at Lu Gui's direction, the warning in his eyes was obvious.
At the same time, Mingmei noticed Mu Chen standing at the very back. He was looking in her direction, and his innocent eyes and slightly pursed lips made him look very "pitiful".
