Chapter 43 Assisting Attack

Chapter 1
  Zhen Hu and Zhen Po were twins. Even if the system didn't allow duo queueing, for some reason they always managed to end up in the same game.

  The two had been partners since they started playing, but they never expected that they would now be sitting in the office where Mingmei had been, looking completely dumbfounded, with two NPC babies based on their in-game social relationships in their arms.

  "Papa, why are we here?"

  The NPC baby Hu Zai, gifted with him, was adorable, holding a balloon in one hand and hugging Zhen Hu's neck with the other as he looked at him.

  "Did you get caught by the police for peeking at pretty ladies?"

  Zhen Hu said, "Papa didn't..."

  "Then it must be Uncle taking Papa to a place full of pretty boys and getting caught!"

  The little girl with pigtails, Po Zai, in Zhen Po's arms dropped an even bigger bombshell.

  "Bullshit! I didn't..."

  Zhen Po had a fierier temper than his brother. He was a promising straight man who adhered to male virtue!

  Just because it was a game didn't mean people could slander him like that!

  "Waaah~ Papa, are you yelling at me?" Zhen Po had barely finished his shout when Po Zai in his arms burst into tears. In an instant, Zhen Po felt like he was holding a piece of red-hot charcoal, bouncing and flailing around!

  "Ahhh~~~~"

  "Little ancestor, don't cry, don't cry!" He looked like he was about to hold Po Zai up to the sky.

  "Pfft~"

  The police NPC taking notes couldn't help but laugh at the "fatherly love and filial piety" scene before him.

  Zhen Hu: Qiaodou Madai?? (Wait a minute??)

  What did he just hear?

  Was he being laughed at?

  Police: Sorry, we've had professional training. No matter how funny it is, we won't laugh.

  Pfft~.gif

  Zhen Hu and Zhen Po looked at the plainclothes police NPC taking their statements, their eyes full of reproach.

  What's wrong with you guys?

  "Ahem... You said you saw the suspect's appearance. Can you describe it to our sketch artist in detail?"

  Perhaps sensing the brothers' resentful gazes, the police NPC silently composed himself and asked seriously.

  Hearing this question, Zhen Hu had a rough idea of what was going on. Their conversation with his brother had been eavesdropped on.

  So, Zhen Hu described everything he knew.

  "Tall and thin, wearing a dark blue jumpsuit, with a black baseball cap on his head. I didn't get a good look at his face, but he had a big black mole on the corner of his mouth..."

  "Is the black mole you're talking about like this?"

  Mu Chen, who had just returned from the Ferris wheel after dismantling the bomb hidden there, was holding a park poster. On the poster, a man in a suit standing in the corner of a group photo had a noticeable black mole on the corner of his mouth.

  "Ah, yes, yes, that chin, that chin is exactly the same, with a cleft in the middle!" Although Zhen Hu didn't think he could recognize someone based on just half their face, that omega chin was just too distinctive.

  Mu Chen immediately exchanged a look with the other police NPCs and tacitly went to the next room to retrieve the surveillance footage, wanting to determine the person's direction of movement...

  Just as Mu Chen was getting busy, Lu Xiaoyao, who had been his sidekick, staggered in from outside, carrying the bomb disposal toolbox on her back, looking like she had lost her soul.

  It wasn't that Mu Chen's long legs had walked too fast and left her behind, but that Lu Xiaoyao had asked to be alone on the way back.

 t wasn't for anything else, but because Lu Xiaoyao was crying inside at her previous actions QAQ!!

  This time, as a sidekick, Lu Xiaoyao had witnessed Mu Chen's bomb disposal process with her own eyes.

  Precise, fast!

  Smooth as silk!

  Just as she was marveling at the big shot's bomb disposal skills, Lu Xiaoyao realized something – Mu Chen actually knew how to disarm bombs!

  Eh?!

  Why did the big shot know how to do it when they had the same plainclothes police role and she didn't?

  Because Mu Chen's aura was too strong, Lu Xiaoyao's words got stuck in her throat all the way back, and she didn't know what to say.

  Finally, Mu Chen glanced at Lu Xiaoyao, who looked like she had lost her soul, and mercifully explained, "I bought it from that mysterious merchant, the same lady who sells us boxed lunches."

  Lu Xiaoyao: = mouth = Nani?! (What?!)

  In that instant, Lu Xiaoyao felt like the whole world had turned gray. Why?

  Why did she have to refuse when someone in the game showed her kindness?

  Heaven knows, Mingmei was watching through the live stream, and seeing Lu Xiaoyao collapse on the ground, visibly drained of energy, she shook her head.

  What's the use of your regret now?

  Zhen Hu and Zhen Po had finished their statements and were now about to walk out, each carrying their own "cub."

  The two had already decided to go out to the Sand Sea Maze immediately. They couldn't continue to be involved in this!

  As a result, when they rushed out in large strides, they didn't pay attention to Lu Xiaoyao, who looked like she had lost the will to live.

  However, they had just stepped out the door when a girl carrying a thermal box stopped them and asked, "Excuse me, gentlemen, would you like a boxed lunch?"

  Before the brothers could figure out the situation and were about to refuse, a girl's scream came from behind them – "Leave it to me!!! I'll buy it!!"

  The brothers only felt a gust of wind behind them. When the Zhen brothers came back to their senses, they saw the girl who had been staring blankly in the room now staring brightly at the little sister selling boxed lunches.

  Mingmei: …

  "I, I, I'll buy it, I'll buy everything you have, come on!"

  Meeting Mingmei again, Lu Xiaoyao opened her arms excitedly, wishing she could hug Mingmei directly and then pick her up for an 800-meter sprint to express how much she valued Mingmei.

  Mingmei: …

  Although she didn't know what Lu Xiaoyao was imagining, she felt that something was wrong, so she took a few steps back.

  Mingmei didn't even need to open her mouth, and Lu Xiaoyao's backend automatically received a prompt from the system – [Distance until purchaseable: 05:02:48].

 t just Lu Xiaoyao who was dumbfounded, but the Zhen brothers who had witnessed the whole process were also dumbfounded.

  What was going on?

  What was so special about this boxed lunch?

  People were fighting to buy it?

  "Papa, I'm hungry~" Hu Zai and Po Zai in Zhen Hu and Zhen Po's arms suddenly spoke.

  You should know that when the brothers first entered the game, they were holding these two cubs, and when the kids wanted balloons and they didn't agree, they started yelling at the top of their lungs, attracting a crowd of NPCs.

  It was mortifying.

  Even if Zhen Hu and Zhen Po weren't interested in buying boxed lunches at first, they had no choice but to ask now.

  Therefore, with the help of the NPCs, the two started trading with Mingmei again.

  Zhen Hu + Zhen Po: ??

  Oh my gosh! What kind of luck was this?!

  "Ahem, I'll take a sweet and sour pork with pineapple."

  "Me too."

  Sure enough, as players playing tourists, a sweet and sour pork with pineapple boxed lunch was the consensus they had reached.

  "Papa! I want to eat tender chicken too!"
