Chapter 1 Strange Marriage

The story of "Strange Marriage" is based on a folk tale from ancient Blue Star.

It tells the story of Miss Bai, who returned from studying abroad, in a town. To resist being forced into an arranged marriage, she starts the story.

It involves many legendary metaphysical knowledge. Not to mention the people of the Interstellar Era, even the people of Hua Lan Star, which is most closely related to ancient Blue Star, only understand six of the seven orifices—completely ignorant!

This kind of escape game is placed here as a novice village?

Mingmei smiled without saying a word. She walked in this town in the south of the Yangtze River, looking at many sceneries she had never seen before, and then slowly sorted out the following plot in her mind.

[Miss Bai quarreled fiercely with her parents and decided to visit the Zhang family in person to call off the engagement.

When Miss Bai went to the Zhang family, she directly met her fiancé, Master Zhang. The other party also told Miss Bai that he had someone he liked and was happy to dissolve the engagement. However, because Master Zhang was seriously ill, he pleaded with Miss Bai not to say it now.

As dusk approached, a heavy rain began to fall outside. Master Zhang, who was ill, got up and invited Miss Bai, as his future daughter-in-law, to stay overnight and have dinner together. During this period, Miss Bai met a art teacher, a distant relative of the Zhang family, who was staying at the Zhang family to collect scenery, as well as his two students, and… a young feng shui先生 (feng shui master).]

[Detection: Player Chi Bu Bao De A Chong [Feng Shui Master] is dead.]

Suddenly, Mingmei, who was recalling the game plot, received a message from the backstage.

"Huh?"

She hasn't found this player yet!

The whole plot hasn't started yet, how could one die?

Mingmei was stunned. This message was sent to her personally by her system, Guigui, not a game system announcement.

In other words, only she knew this message, but the other four players present did not know.

Standing by the river, Mingmei looked at the pool of clear water. Through the reflection, she saw that her already cold face was now even more frosty.

Killing her customers is like killing her parents.

A good performance is gone!

"Who did it?"

The gnashing of teeth startled the system, Guigui.

[The player wanted to go to Zhang's house in advance to scout before the plot started. Then, the game was updated, wasn't it? Now all the NPCs in the game are intelligent. Think about it, if you run to the Big Boss's house and bounce around in front of him, what do you think?]

"I don't want what I think, I just want to ask what the Big Boss thinks."

[Well… the big boss didn't think it was a good idea, so he directly skinned the player alive and buried him in his backyard.]

"Oh, then it's okay." Mingmei, who was just about to find the place, suddenly wilted.

She is just an innocent mysterious merchant.

She can't afford to offend the NPC "colleague" who can skin players alive.

This intelligent NPC is a bit wild.

"Hey? You're here… let's go, let's go to Zhang's mansion."

Just as Mingmei was standing by the pool in a daze, the teacher and student players met Mingmei again, greeted her, and invited Mingmei to go with them.

"Ah… I… I don't need to go now, I still have a task."

Mingmei opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, so she subconsciously refused the other party's kindness.

Hearing Mingmei say that she still had a "task," the three of them nodded knowingly, waved to her and said, "Okay then, we'll wait for you at Zhang's mansion~"

"Okay."

Out of politeness, Mingmei agreed and stood by the river in a daze after watching the three leave.

She can't sell a box lunch on her first day of work, can she?

No way, as a human playing an NPC, is her execution ability not as good as a bunch of NPCs transformed from data?

That's too embarrassing for humans!

Mingmei thought tangledly. Although the life and death of the player had nothing to do with her, but… but she couldn't let people die without selling a box lunch, could she?

Even intelligent NPCs dare to counter-kill players directly before the game plot officially starts, is she still waiting here?!

[Host, what are you going to do?]

The game character auxiliary system, Guigui, suddenly felt a strong brain wave from Mingmei.

"I'm wondering if I can force a sale."

[...]

What a creative idea, don't think about it next time!

[I think it's better for you to recognize the reality, you see which of your tradable objects are not showing gray and prohibited from trading because they refused to trade with you? And the countdown above their heads.]

Guigui considerately helped Mingmei, this old antique, pop up the picture she should see, especially the last tradable player turned black and went offline.

Just… outrageous!

"So, do I really have to enter Zhang's mansion to sell box lunches?"

Thinking about the plot she knew, Mingmei herself was frightened, she really didn't want to go in.

[But if you really don't go in, do you think that with this NPC who killed a player at the beginning, can the remaining few survive tonight and enter the final game?]

[Besides, the key player, the feng shui先生 (feng shui master), who really guides them to survive the night and wait for the dawn tomorrow, is gone. The probability of passing the level… tsk tsk!]

Guigui has reminded her here, how could Mingmei not know what it meant?

Is this just asking her to sell box lunches hard?

Is this also asking her to walk the plot of the dead player?

Thinking of this, Mingmei looked at the reflection in the water again, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and said, "So, what kind of novice village is this? Are you fooling me? Or are you fooling the players?"

…

Lu Xiaoyao just finished the plot of quarreling with Bai's parents, ran out of Bai's house and breathed a sigh of relief, patted her small chest, and said to her live broadcast room where she couldn't see the live broadcast barrage:

"Mom! This NPC intelligence is really outrageous, I almost didn't quarrel with them! And that Bai's mother, wow, she actually tempted me with food, I almost couldn't help but eat it directly! If I ate it, how could I have the mood to go out?"

With this tone of rejoicing and her previous performance, Lu Xiaoyao was already very satisfied with her performance. This live broadcast effect is full!

Although she can't see the barrage, she feels that her live broadcast popularity is definitely not small at this moment, it must be very effective!

As she thought, the effect was indeed full, but it was pulling on other aspects.

[I just went to see the announcement again, I'm sure, there are no newly added player characters in "Strange Marriage", it's still a 5-player game.]

[Damn it! Don't scare me! Isn't this still missing the role of a feng shui先生 (feng shui master)? There are clearly six people in this game!]

[I have carefully studied the official website announcement update, there is really no so-called "selling box lunches" player role, and—the official said, "Enter the game, the plot starts immediately", does this mean that this is different from the previous trigger-type plot?]

[Is there a difference?]

[Invited, the player who has already died in the novice village came to introduce, completely different: ) I directly danced to the villain in advance and was skinned alive by the villain.].oγg
