Chapter 5 Ghost Story?

"Haunted?"

Mingmei didn't even need to look in the mirror to know how disgusted she looked when she heard those words.

Every school legend involves the restroom in some way.

"Yeah? But I don't believe it." Bai Xiao was still relatively clear-headed. "No one's died yet. If it were really haunted, would things still be like this?"

"That's true..."

Mingmei nodded silently, remembering that the game's setting didn't seem to involve anything supernatural or terrifying.

However, Mingmei immediately thought that the school was practically the Boss's base camp. Wouldn't it be easy for them to make anyone disappear at any time?

"But... I'll know in a few days when I'm transferred there." Bai Xiao's eyes sparkled with that eager flame. Mingmei nodded inwardly, that was more like Bai Xiao.

After chatting for a while, Mingmei saw Bai Xiao off and returned to the shop. During the quiet afternoon, she dozed off, leaning on the counter and asking Guigui to send her the original plot of the story from the background.

[That won't do, Host.]

"I'm talking about the original plot, it can't be that difficult, right?"

Mingmei was speechless at Guigui's sudden refusal.

[There are too many things in the original plot that need to be censored. You can't handle it, and I don't want to ruin my own beautiful mind.]

Guigui roughly complained to Mingmei that the plot was terrible, full of color and violence, and even some sexual content, which was harmful to mental and physical health!

"What the hell! My uncle made this kind of game?"

Mingmei was repeatedly told how terrible the plot was by Guigui. Hearing that there was even sexual content, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's a miracle my uncle's game even exists."

[Because the plot is to educate adults to be vigilant about the mental and physical health of the next generation. It shows adults the gradual corruption and blackening of one side, and the many unknown traps encountered on the path of growth.

When they enter, the characters are seen from the perspective of a teenage girl. Everything I said above... happened to the female lead, the Boss Mona. It's to let them know the difficulty of raising children, and to be more attentive to their children's education in the future.]

"There's stuff like this in the Interstellar Era?"

Because it was adapted into a game, the era background had changed. Mingmei couldn't imagine such things happening in the Interstellar Era.

[Yes, not all planets have synchronized development. Even if the technology might have caught up, the thoughts and cultures are different in each star region, even each planet. However, all planets cannot tolerate certain things.]

Guigui took the opportunity to popularize the story of Mona's original model.

[Because the average lifespan of interstellar people is three to five hundred years, thirty years old is considered an adult, and the original model was only nineteen years old.]

"So young."

[Yes, because she was young, she was just starting high school.]

"Suddenly, I feel like living a long time isn't such a good thing. It seems like the time spent studying has been extended." Mingmei suddenly said with feeling, "Interstellar studying takes too long!"

[Yes, twenty-five of those thirty years are spent studying.]

"Ah? Doesn't that mean you have to work for five years before you're even an adult?"

Guigui: [Even if it's like this in the Interstellar Era, you don't go to school from birth, right? Also, if you haven't reached adulthood after graduation, underage graduates enjoy the same salary and benefits as adults, but only have to work half the hours.]

Mingmei really didn't know that.

Her first job was working for her uncle, and he stuffed her into school while she worked. She didn't understand the normal working process of ordinary people.

"But... if you graduate from military academy... I remember many people haven't reached adulthood, right? But they still enter the army."

Mingmei calculated that she seemed to graduate around twenty-six or twenty-seven.

[Host, have you really carefully studied the relevant regulations of military academies?]

"Huh?"

Mingmei felt that she seemed to have overlooked something when Guigui asked her this.

[If a military student hasn't reached adulthood after completing their studies within the school's prescribed time limit, they can automatically enter the army's logistical service until they reach adulthood.]

Mingmei: ?????

"No way? So I'm still an underage worker!"

[No, according to the regulations, the working hours for logistical work are strictly halved.]

"Really? I don't believe I can just wander around in the army with the remaining time."

[That depends on the local army regulations.]

Guigui didn't want to discuss this topic with Mingmei, because each legion had different rules.

Like the senior it knew, whose host was from a certain legion, they would take the new recruits out to cause trouble, under the guise of welcoming the newcomers and clearing the dust. In reality, it was to declare that they had no shortage of people here, and the surrounding "neighbors" should tremble!

Because of this, the anonymous AI once suspected that it would be taken back to the factory by the main brain for repairs one day because it was "in cahoots" with its host.

[Actually, it should be good for you to follow your brother.]

Guigui remembered that in its host's family, besides her parents, only she and her younger sister had AIs... Well, that's not right, its host's sister had a system, which it didn't know when it would be able to upgrade into an AI.

Therefore, it was relieved that the anonymous AI's family shouldn't be able to harm its own host.

They were originally talking about the game's fatal setting, but in the end, Guigui was the one worrying about it.

When it said such a thing out of the blue, Mingmei was already thinking about whether Mu Chen would come to find her after getting off work tonight, and whether she should open her hot dog shop at night.

"Following my brother is pretty good, my brother is really good at attracting Zerg hatred."

After being interrupted by Guigui, Mingmei simply hung up the "Closed" sign on the shop door and blatantly slacked off.

In that instant, Mingmei suddenly thought of how her mother used to talk about the wonderful life of a salted fish.

It really is wonderful~

Mingmei let out a comfortable sigh and sat directly on the only single sofa in the shop, watching Lu Xiaoyao's livestream from her perspective.

Compared to Mingmei's comfort, Lu Xiaoyao was currently facing a very doubtful problem—a pop quiz.

"What the hell! Can you let me see the questions clearly?"

Lu Xiaoyao was about to go crazy looking at a test paper that was almost entirely censored from her perspective!

She was still laughing at how simple the questions in this world were in class, but when it came to the exam—

[Question 1: Given &%￥##@￥%, what is ￥%#?]

[Question 2: 〇o〇xxx(#`o′), what...?]

[Question 10: …………………………?]

What is this?

A jumble of code to start with, and you have to guess the answers?

"No way? Is my character a slacker?"

Lu Xiaoyao really didn't understand!

How was she supposed to write anything?

...

So that night, Julian, who had just gotten off the train and arrived in a so-called "business trip" place that was gray and empty, received a call from someone claiming to be his daughter's homeroom teacher.

"Huh? Zero points! Are you kidding me?!"

Julian couldn't believe that Lu Xiaoyao had scored zero points. "What kind of questions are they? Teacher, don't bully me because I don't have time to come over and just make things up."

Trusting that his girlfriend, no matter how stupid, would at least have basic cultural knowledge, Julian quickly received a photo of Lu Xiaoyao's test paper from the homeroom teacher.

"Daisy didn't do well on the exam. Our teachers are willing to teach her seriously and tutor her patiently, but her attitude towards learning is not right. I think, as the child's father, you should talk to your child when you have time. If you don't know how to do it, you don't know how to do it, why draw emoticons?"

Julian looked at the lifelike chibi panda version of Lu Xiaoyao on the test paper, holding a cigarette in her hand with a defiant look on her face, accompanied by a sentence—"What are you looking at? So what if I didn't write anything? What's the big deal?"

Julian: "..."
