Mermaid Town
After the mayor left, the four NPCs did not leave yet. They even blatantly stationed at the entrance of the cafeteria, as if they were afraid that they would take the opportunity to run away.
When the players saw their posture, they felt like lambs to be slaughtered.
These four NPCs and the dog were probably sent to keep an eye on them.
Before leaving, the mayor of Mermaid Town said that in the next three days, the town would provide free food and accommodation to guests coming to participate in the Mermaid Festival.
There is no free lunch in the world, but the town provided them with free food and accommodation, which was definitely not out of kindness.
For players like them, if the other party is not after money, then what else could they be after?
In other words, what do these players have?
They only have themselves.
So, it is clear what this town is aiming for.
What they want is their own people.
Perhaps, in their eyes, they were just a batch of "cargo", just like the mayor came personally not to greet them, but to unload the "cargo".
But what value do they have to them?
Everyone walked into the cafeteria with worried mood.
There were quite a few people sitting in the cafeteria. These were finally no longer mermaids, but normal humans, probably other NPC guests.
The mayor had said before that the Mermaid Festival is the most grand festival of the year in the Mermaid Town and it attracts many guests.
This canteen is also a canteen dedicated to guests.
As soon as the players appeared at the cafeteria entrance, the huge cafeteria suddenly became eerily quiet.
The guests who were originally concentrating on eating suddenly seemed to have a switch pressed. They all stopped eating and looked over at the table.
They all had blank expressions on their faces, looking at the players with numb and indifferent eyes, not like they were looking at living people, but more like they were looking at a group of...
"goods".
Yes, it’s “cargo” again.
It was exactly the same look that the mermaid mayor and the four NPCs gave them at the beginning.
Players: “…”
Now all the players were finally sure that they were indeed not treated as human beings in the eyes of the NPCs in this copy.
The players froze in place, their scalps tingling and their hairs standing on end as they were stared at by dozens of people. For a moment, no one dared to step into the cafeteria.
At this time, they discovered that there were food windows in the cafeteria, and there was an auntie serving food at each window. Although the distance was quite far, they could still see that the aunties had strange and exaggerated smiles on their faces. The arc of their smiles was very large, like a mannequin.
They were all staring at the players at the cafeteria entrance with gloomy eyes and without blinking.
It's just a matter of writing four big words on his face: Come here.
Players: “…”
Is this the cafeteria? Why does it feel more like a slaughterhouse? !
To eat or to be eaten, that is the question.
Many players began to back out.
Do we have to eat this meal?
It seems that I won’t starve to death even if I skip a meal.
But I might have to stay here for the next three days, and I can’t go without eating.
At this moment, the baby voice sounded again, with an urgency that failed to recognize the situation: "Big brother, why don't we go in for dinner? We are hungry."
Lin Xingchi: “…”
Players: “…”
Canteen guest NPC: "..."
What's this? Why is it so small? !
*
This childish voice was like a muffled thunder, exploding in the cafeteria where one could hear a pin drop, breaking the dead silence.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to him.
Lin Xingchi raised his finger to Gu Lin in panic and made a "hush" gesture, but it was too late.
The other players thought about Gu Lin's various actions since entering the dungeon, and the expressions on their faces were expressionless.
I don't know what expression to make.
You little kid, you really don't care about your life just for food.
With your small body, it's not even enough to fill someone's teeth as a snack.
Gu Lin was held in Lin Xingchi's arms. Seeing him standing at the entrance of the cafeteria, she patted him with her little hand and urged him, "Big brother, let's go in quickly!"
The tone was eager, as if if he didn't hurry over, the food would be snatched away.
As he said this, Gu Lin stared at the food window at the innermost part of the cafeteria with shining eyes.
He has excellent eyesight and can see the delicious food in every window at a glance.
Different from other players, he automatically blocked out the strangers in the cafeteria without even looking at them. He only had eyes for the delicious food.
Seeing Gu Lin, everyone in the cafeteria froze.
Like everyone else who saw Gu Lin for the first time, they obviously couldn't understand why there was such a small guest here.
All eyes were focused on him at once. Lin Xingchi, who was holding Gu Lin, was forced to endure dozens of strange gazes. He couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling and his heart frightened.
Gu Lin himself seemed to be unaware.
Seeing that his elder brother still refused to leave, he knew that if he wanted to get a meal, he could only rely on his son himself.
Gu Lin said softly: "Big brother, put me down first."
Lin Xingchi carried Gu Lin all the way, and he wasn't tired at all, but his arms were a little numb.
Seeing Gu Lin struggling to get down, he squatted down and put him on the ground.
He wanted to tell Gu Lin that it would be better to observe the situation first.
Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, the little ball that had just landed in front of him took a step with its short legs and dived into the cafeteria like a small cannonball.
Lin Xingchi: “?”
Lin Xingchi: “!!”
Oh shit! ! !
Lin Xingchi reacted belatedly, but it was too late. Gu Lin had already run in first.
He had short calves and stumbled when he walked, let alone ran. When he ran he staggered from side to side and it seemed like he would fall down at any second, but the strange thing was that he managed to keep his body steady every time, which was extremely heartbreaking to watch.
Now, the attention of everyone in the cafeteria was focused on the little ball who was wearing overalls and carrying an Ultraman backpack and was obediently trying to get into the tiger's mouth.
Even the lady serving food at the window, whose already exaggerated smile was widened even more when she saw the little ball running towards them, her smile almost reaching her ears.
Lin Xingchi was so frightened that he chased after him without thinking.
Su Qiao saw that both of them walked into the cafeteria, and the most important thing was that Gu Lin went in.
She gritted her teeth and followed him in.
Suddenly, the two kids became the focus of the crowd.
In the eyes of other players, this trio of people with children have become a suicide squad.
At this moment, the boss in the double-layer hat also took a step and walked into the cafeteria.
When the others saw that the big guys had gone in, they followed them in without any hesitation.
I am really scared, but I am also really hungry.
Even if you are being beaten, at least you have to eat a full meal before being beaten.
*
Gu Lin had a clear goal in mind and ran straight to the food window. His two short legs, which had not been able to walk fast before, now ran so fast that he almost left an afterimage.
He rushed to the food window in one breath, then his face froze, his body stiffened, and he looked like a stupid little sculpture.
He couldn't reach the food window!
Gu Lin: “…”
The little cub was so tiny that he stood stupidly in front of the food window, looking weak, pitiful and helpless. jpg
Seeing this scene, the aunts in the live broadcast room all laughed to death.
[Hahahaha, funny and sad]
[Hahaha, I saw the afterimage of the short legs, but he performed as fiercely as a tiger and the record was 0.5! 】
[Zizi is so pitiful, you are not allowed to laugh at him, it’s enough for me to laugh alone! 】
[Hey kid, why are you running so fast? When you get there, you can't even reach the windowsill. 】
[Who dares to look down on my cub? He can eat a whole mermaid [dog head]]
…
Lin Xingchi and Su Qiao arrived soon after.
Seeing Gu Lin motionless and frozen like a little stone sculpture, the two men could not help laughing even though they were still frightened.
Why are you running so fast?
Gu Lin knew that he was too small and couldn’t reach the windowsill by himself.
He was smart in his little head. He turned around and stretched out his little hand to Lin Xingchi, saying aggrievedly and in a baby voice, "Big brother, give me a hug."
Lin Xingchi: “…”
Su Qiao: “…”
Is this the legendary "no compensation for being so cute that one will die"?
Who can resist a cuddly cub? !
Lin Xingchi didn't say a word and immediately wanted to hug Gu Lin, but Su Qiao was quicker than him and picked up the little baby first.
After getting it, Su Qiao smiled and said, "Linlin, what do you want to eat? Sister will take you to eat."
Lin Xingchi: “…”
The cub is so popular that you won’t be able to get it if you’re a step late.
