"Wow, you don't look like someone who has a high school daughter."
After Julian helped Zhen Hu deliver the hot dogs upstairs, they took three more and gave one to Mingmei, who had stayed behind under the pretext of not wanting to open the shop. The three of them then ate hot dogs on the top floor of the building and exchanged information with each other.
"Nonsense, Mona is my stepdaughter, I'm younger than her mother."
Zhen Hu silently swallowed the hot dog, then glanced at Julian and said, "But you and Lu Xiaoyao are set up as father and daughter, right?"
Julian: "..."
Mingmei couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "I also met Qi Haikui and Li Yuan. One is the dean of students, and the other is a student. They were both at the school. And Mu Chen... working as a milkman."
"Huh? This profession..."
"That's pretty casual."
When Mingmei saw Julian and Zhen Hu show a hint of sympathy upon hearing about Mu Chen's profession, she added, "He delivers milk to the school."
Mingmei felt that since Mu Chen had said it, he must be able to do it, so even though she didn't know if Mu Chen had successfully applied for the job, Mingmei assumed that he would deliver milk to the school.
"saute!"
In that instant, Julian felt like the most ordinary person there!
No, Julian thought again. Perhaps Hu Yue, who was his nominal wife, was even more of a stranger.
In an instant, Mingmei seemed to read something from the expressions on the two people's faces.
"Those trapped inside the school are there, and there's also the game's boss inside, fully corrupted from the start, ready to explode at any moment. But while we can't go in from the outside, we can still get another angle—"
Julian quickly adjusted his mindset and began to analyze: "Who said that just because the Zerg team is cooperating with the BOSS in this round, he will definitely be next to the BOSS?"
"you mean……"
Her bright eyes lit up, and she instantly understood what the other person meant!
"Perhaps this bug isn't even in the school, but rather in the surrounding area. What we need to do is search as much as possible outside the school grounds!"
"But I was so busy with work that I had already been sleeping at the company for two days when I transmigrated. I only confirmed my relationship with the BOSS because of the phone's screen saver and the family photo on the desk."
Zhen Hu roughly estimated that he still had a few days left to work with this character!
He glanced at Julian, who worked at the same company but could enjoy a leisurely breakfast at home before coming to work, and his eyes were full of envy.
"No need to be envious. I just realized that I'm going on a business trip tonight for five days."
As Julian spoke, he and Zhen Hu looked at Mingmei simultaneously. Mingmei, who had just been happily eating a hot dog, was like: 0.0?
Does this have anything to do with her?
...
"Oh my god? It's bright and beautiful, isn't it?"
Since the two people they knew couldn't "travel around the city" due to work, Julian and Zhen Hu set their sights on Mingmei.
So Mingmei had no choice but to open an online food ordering and delivery service for her shop in the afternoon and deliver the food herself.
However, this left the store empty, so she posted a job advertisement. To her surprise, someone applied for the job less than an hour after she posted it.
It was Bai Xiao who came.
"Oh My God?"
Mingmei never expected that her casual job posting would bring out another player.
However, the other party wasn't looking for a job for herself, but for Yuan Fang, who was also a player and was playing the role of her husband.
"Wow, you two, this real couple pretending to be husband and wife, it's really amazing." Mingmei was also amazed when she heard that Yuan Fang was also there.
The two of them are getting much better treatment than the couple next door who are dressed as father and daughter.
"If Yuan Fang comes, then he can deliver the takeout." Mingmei felt that it was better for her to stay in the air-conditioned room.
We're all players, so it doesn't matter who goes on the "city tour".
"That might not be very convenient..." Bai Xiao looked troubled. Mingmei could see that, so she asked another question. So Bai Xiao told her directly that Yuan Fang's character in this game was a disabled person who had lost both legs.
Because the sign hanging on Mingmei's door didn't set any conditions, she mustered up the courage to go there.
Moreover, as Mingmei just mentioned, the hot dogs here only require heating and don't require any particularly advanced skills, so Yuanfang can easily make them.
They are living in dire poverty and desperately need jobs to improve their situation.
Because of their character roles, they can only exchange half the amount of credits they earn for cash compared to others.
Mingmei said that she had noticed something was off about Bai Xiao earlier.
It's that aura and demeanor. Although the character is played by a player, sometimes some players' acting skills are really terrible, so they have to rely on the aura and some unintentional expressions given by the original character.
So, wasn't the awkwardness that the other person just felt exactly what Bai Xiao, who had been pampered since childhood, lacked?
Perhaps Bai Xiao herself didn't notice that when she heard the disappointment on her face when Yuan Fang couldn't be a deliveryman, a look of tension and guilt flashed across her face, and she even clenched her hands nervously.
Bai Xiao apologized to Mingmei with a guilty conscience, saying that if she hadn't been tied up with work, she would have definitely helped Mingmei apply for a delivery driver job.
"By the way, what's your role in this game?"
"I work as a cleaner at the school next door. It's a half-day shift, from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM. I just got off work and came here right away."
Even though she knew Mingmei was her classmate and that helping each other was the proper thing to do while playing games, she still couldn't help but feel nervous. She was afraid that Mingmei would refuse, and she couldn't help but wonder if she was just humiliating herself by making a request.
