Chapter 054: Cute creatures eating melons in the refreshment room (6)
Seeing the store manager ignore the bug, celebrity Fang Yiran was puzzled: "Why didn't he remove the bug? Did he let the other party eavesdrop?"
Liu Tang was also confused: "In this case, he should have just called the police directly, right? Why did he pretend not to see it?"
Mo Qianhe thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that he wants to play the long game and catch a big fish?
"Perhaps he felt that the dining area wasn't a place to eavesdrop on any secrets, so he decided to observe the other party more closely and gather more evidence of their crimes."
When Lao Cheng saw the store manager's actions, his sense of déjà vu became even stronger.
But he didn't speak rashly and continued to listen to the other players' discussion in silence.
Shu Mu, with his pointed face and monkey cheeks, looked very bad at the moment.
The favorability value obviously did not increase as much as expected, which put him in a very passive situation at the moment.
He used the information obtained from other players to please the store manager, which had already offended people. Now he hasn't received enough benefits. No matter how you look at it, he is at a loss.
Seeing that Shu Mu's favorability score hadn't increased much, Fang Yiran gloated, "Oh my, using someone else's intelligence to steal credit, you ended up losing more than you gained, didn't you?"
Shu Mu had long expected to be blamed by other players and had already thought of a reason for it.
He didn't look at Fang Yiran who was speaking, but instead looked at Liu Tang who took the initiative to share the information at the beginning and said, "I was too impatient.
"I think if we want to gain enough favorability, we have to protect this snack room. If anyone threatens the safety of the snack room, we must alert the manager immediately.
"But I'm worried that approaching the store manager might be dangerous. After all, he has the bell. You players are all very good at analyzing dungeon clearance methods, so it's not worth asking you to take the risk. I don't know anything, so why not let me take the risk myself?
"This will also better ensure that the core players remain alive.
"I really didn't mean to take credit for it."
Fang Yiran laughed angrily when he heard this: "You are really good at making up stories. It seems that you are still thinking about everyone."
Shu Mu pretended to be at a loss and shook his head: "If we can save the safety of more outstanding players, it will be more helpful for us to pass the level, and I can also win without any effort.
“So I did it for myself.
"Besides, you're all so capable. If I were in danger, you wouldn't just stand by and watch me die, right?"
Fang Yiran was disgusted by the man's gossip and didn't know what to say in response.
He looked at Liu Tang for help, and saw Liu Tang looking at Shu Mu in surprise, as if he was watching some interesting show.
Fang Yiran: “…”
It's you who's been hurt! Why don't you pay more attention to yourself?
Fang Yiran expressed that he felt a little disappointed.
Seeing that Liu Tang remained silent, Shu Mu glanced at Lao Cheng, hoping that he could speak up for him and save the situation.
Lao Cheng shook his head at him and said, "Everyone knows why you did this, so stop pretending."
When Shu Mu heard what the other party said, although it was hard to accept, he was not too surprised.
From the very beginning, he felt a vague sense of unease when he observed Lao Cheng talking to Mo the liar.
He guessed that the two might form an alliance.
However, he didn't expect that Lao Cheng was planning to abandon him and directly betray their previous "alliance".
Seeing that Shu Mu had stopped talking, Liu Tang asked, "Is that all?"
Shu Mu was stunned, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head. He opened his mouth and closed it again.
Liu Tang nodded with some regret. "Well, I thought you'd give some grandiose and eloquent explanations. Turns out they were just some commonplace and boring excuses."
Shu Mu: “…”
He suddenly felt that the seemingly harmless player in front of him was making a fool of him, and he felt ashamed and annoyed.
Xiang Xian was somewhat impressed by Liu Tang's reaction.
This attitude, which allows one to step out of the position of "victim" and become a bystander, is really "unconventional".
She saw Shu Mucha for a long time, and the tea became a clown. She couldn't help but smile: "The play is very good. If it is still alive, it should be able to join many crews to play a clown."
"You, you guys!" Shu Mu looked at the people around him and felt the familiar feeling of being isolated and helpless.
He thought back to many times in his life when he had become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.
Just wait and see, I will definitely gain the most favorability points, so that none of you can catch up.
Thinking this, he turned around and sat down at a table far away from the crowd.
Lao Cheng walked over, patted Shu Mu on the shoulder, and advised: "Liu Tang didn't blame you for this matter anyway, so don't worry too much."
When Shu Mu heard this, he became even angrier.
Does he care about whether the other party blames him or not?
"He humiliated me," Shu Mu said, "I will never let them go!"
Lao Cheng sighed and said with the tone of someone who had experienced it, "As for the others, it's fine if you want to make things difficult for them, but as for Liu Tang, I advise you not to ask for trouble. You can't beat him."
Seeing that Lao Cheng was still willing to talk to him, Shu Mu guessed that he had not given up his alliance with him, so he changed his mind and said, "Help me, together we can definitely avenge this arrow!"
Lao Cheng was speechless.
The barrage directly complained:
"This guy's brain circuit is really amazing."
"He stole Mosaic's information to gain more favorability points, and now others are against him."
"That's why I can't understand these selfish players..."
"The fault is everyone else's, he's not at all wrong."
"It's just self-humiliation."
Lao Cheng sighed: "I can't help you with this."
Shu Mu got angry and asked, "When they surrounded me just now, you didn't help me, and you won't help me now. Do you still want to cooperate with me?"
Lao Cheng looked at the man in front of him and asked instead of answering, "I'd like to ask you that too. When you told the store manager where the bug was hidden, did you ever think about our cooperation?"
"When you wanted to take all the favorability points for yourself, you didn't consider me, right?"
Shu Mu choked and hesitated for a moment: "I just don't want to reveal that we are working together..."
Lao Cheng snorted coldly: "If I had spoken up for you just now, I wouldn't have been exposed?
"That's enough. Don't let this little thing drag on. As your partner, I'm reminding you one last time: don't even think about fighting Liu Tang. It won't do you any good."
After saying that, Lao Cheng turned and left.
The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned:
"By the way, who is Mosaic? Even Lao Cheng is so afraid of him."
"Could it be some big boss?"
"I think it's someone who's even more ruthless than Lao Cheng."
"But this ruthless man hugged Mo Qianhe."
“The front one, it’s hard to comment.”
The part-time waiter Cheetah arrived at the store on time.
He was as energetic as yesterday. After greeting the store manager, he went to change his clothes.
The bird girl didn't come this morning, maybe because she was too tired from helping the store manager deliver goods last night.
The golden retriever who had visited the refreshment room for the first time the previous morning came back today to keep his promise to the black cat store manager.
His demeanor was still a little bewildered, but much more relaxed than yesterday.
I walked into the store, pulled out a chair, sat down, and placed my order on my phone, all in one go, as if I had rehearsed it many times in my mind.
The Black Cat store manager looked at the order placed by the golden retriever on the computer and found that the other party did not choose high-end snacks, but bought the cheapest ordinary snacks. He was a little uninterested and asked the Cheetah to entertain the customer.
"Ugly" Shu Mu knew that this golden retriever was easier to please than ordinary guests.
He took advantage of the moment when the other person sat down, climbed onto his knees and sat down.
The golden retriever was a little flattered to see the little cutie being so proactive.
He raised his hand and touched the top of the other person's head, looking particularly happy.
Shu Mu saw that the favorability value on his arm had increased by "5", and he looked up at the golden retriever happily, giving a smile that he thought was perfect.
The moment the golden retriever saw his face clearly, his expression was a little surprised, and the hand that was stroking the other's head froze.
He couldn't help but think: "This little cutie is so ugly, so pitiful."
Shu Mu saw that the favorability value on his arm had dropped by "1".
This made him feel humiliated.
Is it so unwelcome just because you are ugly?!
Cheetah quickly brought out the refreshments, tea, and snacks that the golden retriever had ordered.
"Enjoy your meal!" he said and turned to leave.
The golden retriever raised his hand hesitantly: "Um..."
The cheetah's ears twitched, and he turned to look at the golden retriever: "How can I help you?"
The golden retriever hesitantly took out the points card the store manager had given him yesterday and held it up to the other person shyly: "Please...help me with the points."
Cheetah took the points card with both hands and smiled brightly: "Okay, no problem."
The golden retriever finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completed some major project.
At this time, Shu Mu had already reached out to grab the bottle of snacks.
For some reason, his usually nimble hands couldn't open this seemingly simple glass bottle.
It seemed that the copy rules did not allow him to open it himself.
Seeing that Shu Mu couldn't wait, the golden retriever opened the jar for him very lovingly.
He thought that an ugly cute creature like this must have a hard time in this store.
When I think about how I often have difficulty socializing in life because of my introverted personality, I always feel a sense of empathy.
Although I can’t say I have a good impression of this cute creature, I still feel some sympathy for it.
As the golden retriever's mentality changed, Shu Mu found that the favorability value on his arm had increased a little.
He quickly forgave the golden retriever for judging him by his appearance and looked forward to watching the golden retriever take a snack from the snack bottle and put it in front of him.
Just as he was about to eat, he saw Putong with twin ponytails rushing towards him with red eyes like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey.
Although Putong kept chewing the props, the hunger he felt did not subside at all.
When she smelled the aroma of snacks, she didn't stop for a moment and rushed over like she had lost her mind.
Shu Mu had already prepared himself to have his food taken away from him.
He quickly activated his innate skill "Anesthesia" and pushed Putong who was coming towards him.
Putong only felt that the other party pushed her away with force, and at the same time, something in his palm was injected into her body, making her whole body numb, and she fell heavily to the ground uncontrollably.
Her consciousness became confused, she felt dizzy, her hands and feet were sore and weak that she couldn't even stand up.
Shu Mu looked at the other person collapsed on the ground and showed a malicious smile: "You fat pig, I've tolerated you for a long time. If you dare to steal my things next time, I will not be polite to you!"
Fang Yiran was horrified when he saw this scene, and then he angrily yelled at Shu Mu, "Are you crazy? Why are you so harsh on the players?"
Shu Mu retorted, "God Father, please stay away from me and don't disturb me while I'm eating."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Fang Yiran below and started eating snacks by himself.
Fang Yiran wanted to continue speaking, but Xiang Xiang stopped him: "Don't make too much noise, or you might attract the NPC's attention."
At this time, the golden retriever was still observing the front desk to see if the cheetah had stamped points for him, so he didn't notice the movement under his feet.
However, the Black Cat store manager had already looked over.
Fang Yiran remembered that Liu Tang had told him before that the liar Lao Cheng experienced electric shock when he was taken away by the store manager for "treatment".
If the store manager found that the fat girl had fainted, there was no telling how he would wake her up.
So he and Xiang Xiang quickly helped the limp Putong to sit against the wall and pretended nothing had happened.
The black cat store manager took a look at this side and thought it was just a normal fight between cute animals for food, so he stopped it in time.
Thinking about the similar situations that had happened before, I didn't pay much attention to it and continued to busy myself with my own things.
Xiang Xiang said to Fang Yiran, "Putong was the one who tried to snatch something from someone else's mouth, so it's not unfair that he was counterattacked.
"Although I don't like Shu Mu either, Putong is not in the right this time. If anyone dares to steal my things, I will have to use force."
Fang Yiran was not angry with the other party this time. Instead, he tasted something from the other party's behavior.
If the idol really disapproved of his behavior, he wouldn't always help him.
Fang Yiran smiled faintly and looked at Xiang Xiang and said, "You told me to stop interfering in other people's business, and this doesn't count?"
Xiang Xuan felt a little embarrassed at being exposed, and lowered his eyes and said, "It's a matter of life and death, and you're my fan, so I'll help if I can."
Fang Yiran continued to laugh: "You are not as cold and hard as you appear."
"Shut up."
At this time, Liu Tang looked blankly at the top of Shu Mu's head.
Lao Cheng observed him like this and felt particularly familiar with him.
This was also the case when the other party spoke about his past in the "Archives of Lies".
