Mingmei never expected that Guigui's words would come true so quickly. As soon as she entered the game, she saw a group of "people" dressed in early Republican-era clothing with pale faces standing in front of her.
Ah, this appearance is clearly not human, is it?
Such a high-energy start?
"Don't let her get away! Master Zhang said that as long as we kill her, there is still hope for our Baishui Village!"
Mingmei: ? ? What the hell are you talking about?
Why did you kill her?!
Someone in the crowd let out a venomous scream, and before the group could pounce on her, Mingmei turned and ran!
[What the heck?! This... I remember this is the starting area, right?!]
[That's right, host, this is the starting area.]
Who is this Master Zhang? Why does he want me dead?!
[Master Zhang is the father of the villainous boss, Young Master Zhang, right, host?]
After Gui Gui reminded her, Mingmei finally remembered the old man Zhang who served as a tool for Mu Chen in the beginner village.
[Holy crap, what's wrong with this NPC? Has he turned evil?!]
Realizing this, Mingmei almost lost her breath. As she ran, she ducked and dodged the withered, black claws reaching out to her from behind!
[Holy crap! These poor paper effigies didn't even bother pretending from the start; they laid their cards on the table, blatantly telling me they're not human?!]
Mingmei turned around and delivered a spinning kick, denting the chest of the person closest to her. Immediately afterward, she heard a "rip" as paper tore apart, which made Mingmei feel terrible!
[I'm an NPC, what the hell are these NPCs doing?!]
[It's because you, as an NPC, are different that this proves the Zerg player did indeed come to this game.]
Hearing Gui Gui's explanation, Mei's heart sank. This Zerg really is something else!
Not only did it escape the constraints of the original game, it also went to other games and tampered with their data. It did a pretty ruthless job!
However, Mingmei quickly lost interest in anything about insects or insect races because—she got lost.
I got lost in the alleyways of this overly realistic Jiangnan water town.
【Ghost, am I even human?】
Gui Gui: [? ? ?]
Why are you criticizing yourself?
[Host, don't regret not being smart enough.]
Bright and beautiful: ? ? ?
[I mean, is it possible that in this game's setting I might not be human? Now I'm wondering if I can still fly?!]
At this moment, Mingmei had plunged headlong into a narrow alley, which led to a dead end. The words "there is no escape" truly came to mind!
So, Mingmei wanted to fly _(：3」∠)_
If I could fly, I wouldn't be trapped here!
Once again pinning their hopes on the bright and cheerful setting, they were met with Gui Gui's sudden silence.
Say something!
[Host, this is the starting area.]
【so?】
Mingmei didn't understand what Guigui meant by saying this was the newbie village. Didn't she know it was the beginner village?
[In other words, there aren't many complicated settings in this game. You're just selling lunchboxes, don't overthink it! Stop flying around, think of another way. Be down-to-earth, okay?]
Bright and beautiful: !!!
That's going too far!
While Mingmei was arguing with Guigui in her heart, she honestly grabbed the bamboo pole in the alley early in the morning. Instead of continuing to talk to Guigui, she stared at the group of NPCs who wanted her dead with an icy expression.
"You all listen to Master Zhang so much?"
At the last minute, Mingmei still tried to communicate.
"What else? Master Zhang is the richest man in our town!"
"So you're not going to listen to what Young Master Zhang says?"
When Mingmei mentioned Young Master Zhang, she clearly saw some of the paper effigies trembling, while others showed no fear.
It seems that this group of people is not actually united.
"I have one more question: Why did you want to kill me?"
"Master Zhang said you seduced his young master. Only after you are eliminated will Young Master Zhang marry Miss Bai. Then our Baishui Town will prosper again!"
"Oh, really?" Mingmei's face clearly showed "I don't believe it," and then she asked, "After your wife dies, will you immediately marry a new one?"
Yes, I will.
Mingmei: ? ? ? I asked you this question so that you would give such an answer?
Such an honest answer from a paper effigy! All I can say is—thank goodness you're not human!
"What if I die? Young Master Zhang likes me so much. What if he doesn't want to marry Miss Bai and instead tries to die for me?"
And what if he still wants to pay with his life? Who among you—who will pay for my life, huh?
As she spoke, Mingmei tentatively took a step forward, and the crowd that had just wanted to attack her all took a step back.
They were afraid of hurting the other person.
"How could you, you woman, do this?!"
Some of the paper effigies never imagined that Mingmei could be like this.
"What about me? So what if Young Master Zhang and I truly love each other? Old Master Zhang is breaking up our relationship, and you're all accomplices? Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?!"
As soon as Mingmei finished shouting, a loud bang suddenly came from the alley entrance, startling everyone present!
Anyone who didn't know better would really think it was divine retribution!
"Fuck you! You bunch of bad guys, I'm not marrying you, I don't care if you all die!"
A bright and familiar voice came from the alley entrance.
Mingmei looked up and saw Lu Xiaoyao holding up her skirt, her little leather shoes gone, barefoot, hands on her hips, shouting fiercely in another direction: "The Miss Bai of today is no longer the Miss Bai of the newbie village! I spit on you bunch of hypocrites!"
Mingmei: "..."
So, has Miss Bai evolved into a shrew?
Lu Xiaoyao never expected that she would find herself back in the starting village of yesteryear, and that she would still be Miss Bai.
Because of the changes that have occurred in the game, the game no longer suppresses players' game memories; the game is completely unrecognizable now anyway. =.=
Past memories and the plot she knew both inside and outside the game caused Lu Xiaoyao to be on high alert the moment she saw the Bai family couple who came to pick her up.
Then, very quickly, Lu Xiaoyao's worries came true. This time, the Bai couple didn't care about saving face and took her directly to the Zhang family. Lu Xiaoyao, who was sitting in a rickshaw, was not going to stand for that. She kicked over the servant pulling the rickshaw in front of her and jumped off to escape.
During her escape, she turned around and saw the group of people who had come to capture her. The Bai couple, who were in the lead, had a ferocious and undisguised expression. Lu Xiaoyao then launched into a barrage of verbal attacks.
He was running and cursing back at the same time; his lung capacity was top-notch!
That's why Lu Xiaoyao passed by the alley, stood at the entrance with her hands on her hips, and berated those who couldn't catch up with her.
But after she'd had her fill of rant, she felt countless eyes staring at her from all sides. So she turned her head, and as if she'd found love around the corner, blurted out, "What the hell?!"
