"Oh dear! That damned bastard took the money and disappeared! It was all the savings our family had left!"
"Is there anyone who can help me go up the mountain to look for someone?!"
As soon as Mingmei entered the game and opened her eyes, all she saw was a vast expanse of white. Not far away, she heard the cries of women. Mingmei took a step and walked on the damp, muddy ground, heading towards the commotion.
Walking to the center of the crowd, she saw a middle-aged woman with disheveled hair kneeling on the ground, crying miserably. Although the people around her were just watching, Mingmei could clearly see the indifference in their eyes.
"Cuihua! Didn't your Wang Laosan make a lot of money before? What? Did he run away with your money again?"
Someone in the crowd shouted at the middle-aged woman named Cuihua, "Didn't you just buy color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines one after another a few days ago? What happened?"
"How would I know! The night before last, Li Laosan suddenly grabbed the money and ran out like he was possessed. The fog was thick and it was dark outside, so I couldn't follow him! Who knew... he! He just wouldn't come back!"
After saying that, Cuihua sat on the ground and started wailing again. Mingmei didn't say anything but looked around. It seemed that no players had appeared yet.
Her uncle is getting worse and worse at making games. Even if he eventually keeps the Mysterious Merchant NPC in this new game, the Mysterious Merchant's setting in this game is worse than not having one at all!
Mingmei silently processed her identity information, secretly thinking: I hope the player won't have any psychological trauma after returning.
【GuiGui, do you think I can play this game with Lu Xiaoyao?】
[Based on what she said in her livestream last night, she'll be livestreaming herself playing the new game today as soon as it's released. Judging from the account settings Mr. Yan Hui gave you and hers, you two should be meeting today.] M.cascoo.net
Could you please adjust Lu Xiaoyao's live stream for me?
At Mingmei's request, Guigui opened Lu Xiaoyao's live stream.
In a flash, Mingmei saw that all five players for this round had gathered.
The car was full of five people. Julian was driving, Mu Chen was in the passenger seat, and the three people in the back seat were Merita, Lu Xiaoyao, and Wang Wenfei.
At that moment, it was raining heavily outside their SUV.
The rain pounded on the car roof, and the rainwater on the car windows formed a curtain of water that the wipers couldn't keep up with.
"Hey Julian, you're so slow! Hurry up and drive! How long have you been playing this game since the beginning?"
From the moment they entered the game, they were sitting in this off-road vehicle, heading towards the hometown of the character played by Wang Wenfei.
This group of people had agreed to go on vacation together there.
However, as soon as we got off the highway and onto the rural cement road, the sunny weather suddenly turned sour, and a downpour came out of nowhere.
The limited visibility he could get through the windshield wipers made him afraid to drive faster than 20 kilometers per hour.
In this kind of weather, where can he drive fast?
"In this kind of weather, it's already a miracle that such an old machine like a car can still move. What's there to complain about?"
Julian was also quite irritated by the heavy rain.
This is not the behavior of a gentleman.
Julian silently suppressed his negative emotions.
Lu Xiaoyao hummed at the other person's words. Since she was sitting by the window, she wanted to roll down the window to see the rainy scenery outside. But as soon as she opened a crack, the rain poured in, making her awkwardly roll the window back up.
"Pfft~"
While Merita was chatting with Wang Wenfei about their vacation plans on Weixing, she noticed Lu Xiaoyao's disheveled state and couldn't help but laugh.
"Stop laughing. You've been sitting in the car for so long, and you still have so much to say."
"Hmph~ Of course we have something to say when we go on vacation, but you, I invited you to come along, but you've been so busy doing live streams every day that you don't have time. Are you blaming me?"
"Ha! You guys end up playing games online in the end, right? You can tell vacations can be pretty boring."
Lu Xiaoyao said sourly, a typical case of sour grapes.
She wants to go out and let loose during her vacation, doesn't she? But isn't this the New Year?
Moreover, this was the first time Lu Gui had accompanied her grandfather to various occasions as the heir of the Lu family. Since she had rejected Lu Gui's previous path, she could only learn how to be a strong support for her brother—to protect the family.
Of course, it's okay to relax occasionally.
"My home is at the end of this cement road."
Suddenly, Wang Wenfei's backend message changed, and a prompt appeared, which she then spoke.
"Hey? Are we almost there?"
Just as the topic had veered off course, and even the comments section was filled with people marveling at how Lu Xiaoyao's livestream at home during the New Year, which touched countless online viewers, everyone's attention was drawn back to Wang Wenfei's words.
[Any of you guys who just finished the game, can tell me how scary this round was?]
[Yes, yes, is there anything exciting going on?]
[Hey, everyone, this new game just came out and my kid went in. Even if the others went in too, who's going to come out and tell you what the game is about? Unless it's raining so hard they got into a car accident, who's going to come out now?]
Oh, right, that makes sense...
Mingmei watched the comments and listened to Wang Wenfei's words. If nothing unexpected happened, the place she was in was Wang Wenfei's village.
She looked up at the sky; the sun had just risen, completely dispelling the thin mist that had enveloped the village in the early morning, and the temperature had immediately risen.
