"I'm just saying… could you *not* use my dad's face?"

Looking at the face that suddenly appeared between them, Mingmei felt she had to say something.

Her dad really didn't have that many expressions. He gave all his lively expressions to her mom. Now, seeing this dad-face smiling at other people, Mingmei felt like she was seeing her dad out of character.

Besides, and most importantly—

"When you show up like this, it feels like a student got caught having a forbidden romance by their parents."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Mu Chen choked on Mingmei's blunt words. The Enforcer chuckled and said, "Really? Then I'm delighted."

Mingmei: ...

Mu Chen: ...

So, this guy really wasn't a good person, was he?

"I'm going to tell my dad about this later," Mingmei said, bringing out her father, then added, "My uncle's afraid of my dad too."

As she spoke, Mingmei raised an eyebrow at him, wearing a smug look that said, *even my uncle can't save you*. The other person wasn't scared at all. Instead, he dragged a small stool from next door and sat right between them.

"Alright, let's skip this topic for now. Everyone's here for the same goal. Those who achieve great things don't sweat the small stuff. Don't worry about the minor details."

Wearing someone else's dad's face while telling them not to sweat the small stuff… Mingmei and Mu Chen silently lowered their heads and took a bite of spicy hot pot without saying a word.

At that moment, neither of them wanted to talk.

Seeing them ignore him, the Enforcer smiled playfully, resting his chin on his hand, and then asked, "So? Does it taste like your dad's cooking?"

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

"Water." Mu Chen quickly handed Mingmei some water, which she took and drank immediately.

Just now, she almost sucked the soup, which was covered in chili oil, directly into her nasal cavity!

"Can you talk now?"

Watching Mingmei tighten the cap on the water bottle, seemingly about to retort, the Enforcer asked at just the right moment, "Have you discovered anything today?"

"What is there to discover? Everyone's either a corporate slave or a student, either going to class or working, unlike you..."

Mingmei glanced pointedly at the waiter running back and forth in the shop behind the man.

Needless to say, the Enforcer had the most comfortable role here.

They were both running shops, but Mingmei didn't even have one employee. Every mealtime, she wished she had three heads and six arms. After she hired people, she had to go out in all kinds of weather to deliver takeout. How could she compare to this guy?

With such good business, he was sitting here chatting with them idly, while several waiters behind him were practically burning up the soles of their feet.

Mingmei was envious!

"Me? My identity is the most marginal," the Enforcer said, as if he didn't realize Mingmei was implying he was idle. "It was already hard for me to get in here. If I get any closer to Mona, she'll notice immediately. If we startle them and provoke the other party…"

The Enforcer made a throat-slitting gesture, making Mingmei and Mu Chen frown.

"You mean, only Mona knows the whereabouts of the Zerg?"

"That's right. She's probably the only one who knows where the Zerg's main body is hiding."

"Huh?" Mingmei suddenly caught a key point. "The Zerg isn't in this world?"

"Yeah, it's not," the Enforcer said. Seeing Mingmei's slightly widened eyes, the corners of his mouth curved up, still annoying as ever. "No way, no way? You guys didn't know?"

"Was everyone supposed to know this?"

Mingmei wasn't as if she hadn't met other players, wasn't as if she hadn't told everyone the plan or anything. Didn't everyone assume that there were Zerg in this world?

At the very least, there should be traces of the Zerg's activity in this world, right?

But according to the Enforcer, the only thing related to the Zerg in this world was that this world's Boss, Mona, knew the Zerg's whereabouts.

This was definitely a setup to focus on Mona!

"You mean, we actually have to defeat this Boss this time to get the Zerg's whereabouts?" Mingmei sorted through her thoughts and realized that it seemed to be the case.

But, this seemed simple to think about, but very difficult to do.

"That's right, as long as Mona opens her mouth and answers. But, Mona is..." The Enforcer said, tilting his head and pondering for a moment, then continued, "Seemingly innocent, but actually heartless.

If she wants to, she can smile at you one second, and the next second she can reach out and cut you open, take out your organs in front of you, and crush them on the ground with her feet. So, don't be fooled by her appearance."

The Enforcer had said a lot tonight. By the time Mingmei and Mu Chen had digested these words, he had already returned to the shop's counter and put on a professional fake smile that Mingmei had never seen on her own father's face.

"Since he said so much, it seems his role in this game is very clear."

Seeing the confusion on Mingmei's face, Mu Chen analyzed, "He can probably only provide information and intelligence when dealing with Mona this time.

In the future, we can come here to exchange some information we don't know. Like tonight's."

"I know that… but…" Mingmei frowned in distress and said, "What's the use of knowing this outside of school? Those guys in school are the focus, right?"

Especially since Mingmei was currently seeing things from Lu Xiaoyao's perspective, and it was only 10:30 PM. Lu Xiaoyao was already sleeping soundly.

Yeah, the gutsy An Xin was sleeping in the same room as the Boss. In the pitch-black livestream room, Mingmei could still hear Lu Xiaoyao's soft snores.

Therefore, when Mingmei mentioned those guys in school just now, Mu Chen subconsciously added, "Is Lu Xiaoyao alright?"

"Great. Eating well, drinking well, sleeping soundly."

Besides that, Mingmei couldn't think of any other words to describe Lu Xiaoyao's condition.

…

The next morning, Yuan Fang, accompanied by Bai Xiao, came to Mingmei's shop. Mingmei's shop was already booming with business in the morning.

Staying up late last night and getting up early this morning, this kind of shop-opening mode made the lazy Mingmei feel greatly wronged.

"No need to deliver takeout today. Perfect, you can be my assistant in the shop, and I'll have it much easier."

Because of the news she received last night, Mingmei now felt at ease not having to go out.

Yuan Fang naturally heard Bai Xiao mention this last night, and knowing Mingmei's original plans, he was curious and asked a question.

"Besides the players, there's an Enforcer that the game planner specially put in to provide information. I ran into him with Mu Chen while taking a walk last night. He said—there are no Zerg in this world."

"Then we…"

"Although there are no Zerg, it's said that only this world's Boss knows the true whereabouts of the Zerg."

"That's good, at least everyone didn't come here for nothing." Yuan Fang was very optimistic, and he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Mingmei's last words.

He didn't seem to know the terror of Mona.

Of course, Mingmei herself wasn't clear either.

She mainly relied on Gui Gui's half-veiled descriptions, plus her own imagination, which although not great, was enough to think about things. She knew that Mona was not easy to mess with.

But indeed, Yuan Fang really didn't know.

"In that case, I'll tell Xiao Xiao when she comes back in the afternoon, and then have her bring the message to the others in school."

"Okay."
