While the maid Xiaosuo was treating the girl she met on the road, Ren Suo was controlling Master Mu to check the warehouse at investigation point No. 26.
This warehouse is a place where clues can be found, and because a special plot was finally triggered this time, Ren Suo was in a good mood, so he asked Master Mu to check every corner of the warehouse. He even clicked "further investigation" several times when he saw "rat shit" in the corner.
Through this comprehensive investigation, we were able to uncover more information than in previous investigations.
Master Mu was examining the black stain on the ground in the state of "Magic Eyes All-Seeing". Suddenly, a strange picture flashed through his mind: a thin man, a murdered woman, a hatchet, lights, and a row of neatly armored warriors...
"Here, there were villains who slaughtered dozens of civilians in the name of the Demon Lord. They committed evil for half a month and were only recently discovered by the Soul Hall warriors."
There was no need for Ren Suo to analyze the scene here, Master Mu quickly sorted out the clues by himself: "This is my first time in Yingzhou, so it is impossible for me to have recruited this subordinate more than ten days ago.
This villain was mentally ill. After being discovered by the warriors of Yingzhou Soul Hall, he swore to resist to the death. Finally, he died chanting the words "On the day when the Demon Lord comes, all traitors must die." However, he did not seem to recognize me and did not pronounce my name.
However, when the people from the Holy Temple succeeded in slandering me, this testimony became one of the straws that the six major sects used to attack me.
But the evildoer was thin and weak, and could be bullied. It was obvious that he was not a murderer before. Why did he suddenly gain the power to kill others? And why did he believe in the Demon Lord so devoutly? "
The total clue rate increased to 1.9%!
There was no more place to investigate at Investigation Point No. 26, so Ren Suo asked Master Mu to leave the warehouse. When he went out, he saw the maid Xiaosuo stroking the rescued woman's hair like she was petting a cat.
The rescued woman sobbed and thanked the maid Xiaosuo, and kept expressing her gratitude, but the maid Xiaosuo just smiled and touched her head without saying a word.
When Master Mu came out, the rescued woman hurriedly thanked Master Mu: "I am Ayane, thank you both for your help."
Master Mu threw out a stream of flame, completely burning the man's body on the ground to ashes, and then said: "We are new to Edo and are unfamiliar with the place. I didn't expect that we would help you kill this villain when we saw injustice. I wonder if the young lady can take us to find a place to stay so that we can hide for a few days?"
Ayane tightly grasped the hand of the maid Xiaosuo and nodded: "No problem, there is still a vacant room in my house, you two benefactors can stay temporarily. But my home is in Musashi, which is a little far from Edo, I don't know..."
Mr. Mu: "There is carriage traffic between Musashi and Edo, so it's OK. My maid is shy and not good at speaking, why don't you..."
Ayane heard this but did not let go. Instead, she held the maid Xiaosuo's hand tightly in her bosom and said, "She and I hit it off right away and should become good friends. Besides, I am still a little scared now. This little sister has a very comfortable fragrance and a very pleasant voice when she comforts me. Please let me go with her for a while."
Mr. Mu: "Okay."
"Due to special reasons, Mr. Mu's mood has been slightly affected, and his current state is 'happy'."
Although his mood seemed to be slightly lowered, compared to the 'extremely low mood' caused by "choosing traditional treatment methods", Ren Suo could completely accept this situation: both rounds were not wasted, and he also completed the task of 'finding a place to live'!
There was another cutscene of a carriage passing by, and the camera switched to a Japanese-style house. Although there were no candles, the house was bright.
Master Mu: "I am very tired today. I want to take a shower and change clothes."
Ayane said, "There is hot soup in the bathroom, please help yourself. By the way, there is only a master bedroom and a second bedroom in the house, I wonder how to allocate them?"
At this point, three options appear in the game:
"Ayane and Kosuo share a room"
"Mr. Mu and Ayane share the same room."
"Mr. Mu and Xiaosuo share the same room."
Ren Suo saved the game silently, then clicked on the first option: Ayane and Xiaosuo sleep together.
Ayane was delighted: "Okay, okay."
The maid Xiaosuo also nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, then I won't be polite."
Game prompt: "Due to special reasons, Mr. Mu's mood has been seriously affected and his current state is 'depressed'."
Tsk, hypocrite.
You just don't want to sleep alone!
Load the game and click on the second option: Mr. Mu and Ayane sleep together.
Ayane hesitated slightly, but still nodded and said, "This... is also fine. I hope you won't mind my poor sleeping posture."
Mr. Mu: "Of course not."
Maid Xiaosuo: "Then I will sleep in a room by myself! Haha."
Game prompt: "Due to special reasons, Mr. Mu's mood has been slightly affected, and his current state is 'a little happy'."
ha?
I asked you to sleep with a beautiful girl you just met, but why are you still in a bad mood?
Ren Suo had no choice but to reload the game and click on the third option: Master Mu and Xiaosuo sleep together.
The maid Xiaosuo was shocked: "Sharing a room with the young master... isn't that bad?"
Master Mu said firmly, "What's wrong with that? Isn't this just a matter of time? Why are you shy?"
Maid Xiaosuo: "Well... well, I won't be polite."
Game prompt: "Due to special reasons, Mr. Mu's mood has been seriously affected, and his current state is 'shame and anger'."
Ren Suo blinked, looked at the prompt that popped up on the screen, hesitated for a moment, and chose to call his father.
Father Ren didn't know whether he was slacking off in the teacher's office after class or had already gone home to slack off (having been a teacher for decades, he had mastered the skill of slacking off), so he immediately answered the phone: "..."
Ren Suo: “…”
Ren's father: "......?"
Ren Suo: “……!”
"Tell me what's the matter."
"Dad, does the word shame and anger represent a good emotion or a bad emotion?"
Ren's father: "Son, I teach mathematics."
Ren Suo: "Brother, have you forgotten that in addition to teaching me the multiplication table in the community garden, you also taught me 300 Tang poems? You, the math teacher, taught me Chinese!"
Ren's father: "Well, brother, let me tell you, this word has both good and bad meanings, depending on the tense and the subject."
Ren Suo: "What tense is the subject?"
Ren's father: "Let's put it simply. If it's a man, then it's basically because he's in a bad mood, and he's angry because he's been humiliated. If it's a woman, then it could be because she's angry because she's been humiliated, or it could be because she's angry because she's embarrassed."
Ren Suo: "Won't men get angry out of shame?"
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Ren's father recalled that Ren's mother once said that her son was very popular among men in Lianjiang, and he exhaled slowly: "Son, your family will always support you."
Ren Suo: “Hmm?”
Ren's father: "I won't ask anything. No matter what you become, in your parents' eyes, you are still the silly kid who is still playing in the mud. Remember, safety comes first. Protective measures must be taken."
After hanging up the phone, Ren Suo touched his head, wondering if it was because he hadn't been home for too long. He could no longer keep up with the pace of his parents' conversation.
He turned his gaze back to the screen, thinking that if what his father said was right, then Master Mu’s mood would also be bad because he slept with the maid Xiaosuo?
Are you angry because you feel insulted by sleeping with a maid?
Ren Suo felt that this speculation was very correct - it couldn't be that he was angry because Master Mu slept with the maid Xiaosuo and was too shy, right?
But Master Mu woke up in the same bed with Ling'er at the very beginning. He looked like a veteran and experienced man. How could he be shy about sleeping with a maid?
So after looking at it this way, Ren Suo suddenly discovered that all three options had negative returns! ?
Ren Suo thought about it, then decisively returned to the main interface of the game and opened "Xiao Suo's Secret Diary".
Sure enough, three new lines of ink appeared below:
"Will you think anything if I sleep with Ayane?"
"Will you have any thoughts if I sleep alone in the big bed?"
"What would he think if he slept with me?"
After clicking all of them, the three lines of ink became one line: "This is the only way, but how should I say it?"
Ren Suo clicked on it and found that he had to spend money to help Xiaosuo think, but this time it was very cheap, only 1 merit.
One point of merit cannot buy you a loss, and one point of merit cannot buy you being cheated. Ren Suo, who is a man of the ability to "pluck feathers from passing geese", likes this kind of consumption of one point of merit the most, so naturally he chooses to spend money on it, which is equivalent to having sex with the maid Xiaosuo once.
The light ink then quietly turned into heavy ink: "Okay, I know what to do."
Ren Suo reloaded the game and found an extra line in the options: "Ask about the lock."
Master Mu approached the maid Xiaosuo and asked in a low voice, "There are only two rooms, Xiaosuo, how do you think we should divide them?"
Maid Xiaosuo: "Of course, Ayane will have one room, Master Mu will have one room, and I will sleep in the living room!"
Master Mu: "Really? But you can sleep with us too. You see, Ayane really wants to sleep with you. As for me, if you beg me, maybe I will agree, right?"
The maid Xiaosuo shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, it's better to be careful when you go out, and we are unfamiliar with the place. I have to help keep watch in the living room, how can I hide in the comfortable quilt?"
Mr. Mu: "Then...you will sleep in the living room?"
Maid Xiaosuo: "Yeah, yeah, I like sleeping in the living room the most."
Game prompt: "Due to special reasons, Mr. Mu's mood has been slightly affected, and his current state is 'quite happy'."
This time he finally got off to the best start, and Ren Suo breathed a sigh of relief - he didn't expect that the issue of 'who sleeps with whom' at night would actually lead to a small plot, but the correct approach was to let the maid Xiaosuo sleep alone.
Fortunately, I was smart. I first asked my dad about the correct explanation of "shame and anger", and then I opened "Xiao Suo's Secret Diary" and discovered the truth.
Otherwise, he would probably think that "shame and anger" is a good thing and directly choose the third option, resulting in negative returns.
This is a 5-star game, and every option must be chosen carefully. A famous military strategist once said: Mistakes made in the early stages of a war are irreparable.
Similarly, mistakes made at the beginning of the game will accumulate later on, eventually turning into fatal loopholes that prevent you from completing the game.
As a senior player, Ren Suo must achieve perfection in the early stages of the game. This is why he spent countless efforts to get the best start when playing Over My Dead Body.
After this short story ends, the game pops up an option: "Enter the next day."
Now Ren Suo had nothing else to do, so he clicked to enter the next day. The game prompted: "The Demon Lord was in a very good mood after a short but peaceful rest at night, but it was only a short rest after all, so only a part of the resentment was purified.
The Demon Lord's mood changes from 'quite happy' to 'quite happy', and the amount of resentment purified this round is 10,000. "
Purified 10,000 resentments!
The amount of resentment purified in the 'Quite Happy' state is five times that of the 'Super Depressed' state!
And more importantly, this was not a proper rest. Their nighttime activities were not for rest, but for investigation.
This purification of resentment was only triggered by staying overnight!
If Ren Suo lets the Demon Lord choose to "have a good rest" during the day, the amount of purification will probably double, or even more!
Through the perfect strategy of "The First Day of Escape", Ren Suo completely understood the main goal of this game: the two tasks on the surface were the final tasks, but when it came to the game, the most important thing he needed to pay attention to was to maintain the protagonist's mood!
As for how to maintain the protagonist's good mood, the key is of course the maid Xiaosuo!
Through "Xiao Suo's Secret Diary", Ren Suo may be able to keep Mr. Mu in a happy mood!
This is the correct way to use a maid!
“Ding-ling-ling——”
The alarm clock rang, reminding Ren Suo that he had to pick up Xiaojiu from school, so he quickly saved the file, got dressed, and went out.
Ren Suo once thought about whether he should remotely control his clone to pick up Xiaojiu from school, but he finally rejected the idea - the clone should be used where it counts, and it's not worth it to go back and forth for half an hour to pick up Xiaojiu from school.
Only when Xiaojiu falls asleep, the quiet but housework-filled home becomes the place where the clone can show off his skills!
Ren Suo quickly walked to the school gate and saw Xiao Jiu and a tall female teacher at the school gate. He greeted them and walked over: "Xiao Jiu!"
Xiao Jiu, who was chatting with the teacher, saw Ren Suo, waved his hand vigorously and said, "Big brother!"
When Ren Suo approached, Xiao Jiu suddenly said to the teacher: "Teacher Su, what do you think of the big brother? The big brother must be a good man!"
Teacher Su blushed, "Xiaojiu, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Ren Suo's face froze, and Teacher Su quickly explained, "No, I'm not saying you're not a good man...Don't take it to heart when a child talks nonsense."
However, Xiao Jiu hid behind Ren Suo and said shyly: "Teacher Su, didn't you ask Xiao Jiu to help you find a good man? Xiao Jiu found one, why are you still scolding me..."
This teacher wants students to help find a man?
Ren Suo looked at Teacher Su and thought she was pretty good-looking. He wondered if the current marriage market was already so tense.
Teacher Su quickly explained: "That was Xiaotong's joke... By the way, are you Ren Xiaojiu's relative? Xiaojiu said today that she would introduce a boyfriend to me, and I thought Mr. Bai was coming to pick her up... Ah, that's not what I meant..."
Seeing that Teacher Su was about to start talking nonsense again, Ren Suo curled his lips and said, "Lao Bai is indeed a good man. Do you want me to give you his WeChat and phone number?"
Teacher Su blushed and took out her cell phone: "Then... I'll accept it with pleasure."
After completing a wave of PY transactions, Ren Suo said: "Yes, I am now Ren Xiaojiu's guardian. My name is Ren Suo."
Because of the same surname, Teacher Su seemed to immediately determine that Ren Suo and Xiao Jiu were related. She glanced at Ren Suo and frowned slightly: "I am Xiao Jiu's homeroom teacher, Su Jinxuan. Have you... been to the comic convention with Xiao Jiu?"
Ren Suo's face changed!
His actions at the comic convention should have been perfect, and he didn't expose himself and Xiao Jiu to anyone's sight, so how come they were discovered! ?
Before he could come up with a plan to kill her, Su Jinxuan continued, "Fortunately, Xiaojiu met me at the subway station at that time. Although you are not Xiaojiu's parent, you should also take care of Xiaojiu. How could you go to the comic convention by yourself and leave Xiaojiu at the subway station?
Before, Miss Dong and Mr. Bai came to pick up Xiao Jiu, and I couldn't tell them this. This time you finally came in person, I must popularize it to you. There are many dangerous people in society who specialize in attacking children... As a guardian, you must be careful..."
Ren Suo listened for a while, and then had eye contact with Xiao Jiu, and finally understood the relationship between Su Jinxuan and Xiao Jiu: When Xiao Jiu came to the comic exhibition, she asked Teacher Su to take her there.
Then Xiao Jiu discovered Ren Suo carrying the Holy Grail, and he and Su Jinxuan went to find Ren Suo separately.
But I didn’t expect that Su Jinxuan was Xiaojiu’s homeroom teacher in the school she attended!
After sorting out his thoughts, Ren Suo realized that Su Jinxuan probably didn't know anything and just thought that Ren Suo went to the comic convention with Xiao Jiu, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He said in an extremely sincere tone: "Teacher, I know I was wrong, and there will definitely not be a next time. I hope you don't tell this to other people, otherwise Xiaojiu and I may be separated again..."
Perhaps it was because of Ren Suo's sincere tone that Su Jinxuan imagined a long family drama of more than thirty episodes.
She said in a slower tone, "Of course I won't gossip about others, and I haven't told anyone about this. It's good that you know you're wrong... By the way, Xiaojiu has been playing with her phone at school recently. Have you taught her a lesson?"
Ren Suo immediately stared at Xiao Jiu: "Don't play with your phone at school, study hard!"
Xiao Jiu shook his head and said with a kind face: "Brother, think about it, we can only use mobile phones for a few years, but we can live for decades. To us, mobile phones are just a part of us, but to mobile phones, we are everything to them.
We should put down our homework and spend more time with our phones..."
Ren Suo slapped Xiao Jiu on the head - little girl, your charm and twisted logic can't stop the fist of truth. Now Dong Chengling is practicing overtime, so Ren Suo has to play the bad guy and discipline Xiao Jiu.
However, Ren Suo looked at Su Jinxuan and suddenly said, "Teacher Su, are you tired after a day of classes?"
Su Jinxuan was a little surprised and nodded slightly: "A little bit, this is what being a teacher is like."
Ren Suo said, "You've taken care of Xiao Jiu so many times, and I haven't been able to thank you properly... Ah, why don't we go to the Starbucks across the street and sit down and chat? I'll treat you."
Su Jinxuan hesitated for a moment. At this time, Xiaojiu came over and pulled Teacher Su's hand. There were also many people in Starbucks. Finally, she nodded and agreed. She just happened to have a lot of things to talk to Ren Suo about, such as Xiaojiu's mobile phone problem, Xiaojiu's premature love problem, and Xiaojiu's fan club problem...
However, not long after Su Jinxuan sat down in the coffee shop, Ren Suo listened to her nagging for a while and suddenly said, "Teacher is really hard-working."
"Yeah..." Su Jinxuan couldn't help showing her emotions and sighed, "Besides, I'm a young teacher and I have to be the head teacher. I can't run away...ah, please forget what I said."
"If you are too tired, why not take a rest here?"
Su Jinxuan's attention was involuntarily attracted by the dancing of Ren Suo's ten fingers. Her consciousness began to blur, and finally she fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, it was the female clerk at Starbucks who woke her up.
"A gentleman gave me a tip to ask me not to let other customers disturb you while you are asleep. If you don't wake up after 20 minutes, let me wake you up." The female clerk handed her a small note: "This is left by that gentleman."
Su Jinxuan looked at the words on the note and said, "This is one of my insignificant abilities. I hope you can have a comfortable sleep. This is my small token of gratitude."
Su Jinxuan shook her head and felt her mind was very clear, as if she had had a good sleep for 8 hours.
Recalling her impression of Ren Suo, Su Jinxuan suddenly discovered that Ren Suo actually spoke very nicely, and he had a very reassuring smell.
Maybe it was because of this impression that she let down her guard?
"Mr. Bai... he is the flower of the mountain that I cannot get close to. But if it were him... maybe..."
Su Jinxuan was so upset that she found out that she didn't get Ren Suo's. But Xiaojiu was in her class, so she didn't have to worry...
