"Damn, you don't look like you have a high school daughter."

After Julian helped Zhen Hu deliver the hot dogs, they grabbed three more and gave one to Ming Mei, who had conveniently made an excuse to stay behind instead of opening the shop. The three of them ate hot dogs on the roof of the building, exchanging information.

"Nonsense, Mona is my stepdaughter. I'm younger than her mom."

Zhen Hu silently swallowed his hot dog and looked at Julian. "Speaking of which, are you and Lu Xiaoyao going with the father-daughter setting?"

Julian: "..."

Ming Mei couldn't help but laugh, then added, "I also ran into Qi Hai Kui and Li Yuan. One is the head of the teaching staff, and the other is a student, both at the school. And Mu Chen… as a milkman."

"Huh? That job…"

"How random."

When Ming Mei saw a trace of sympathy on Julian's and Zhen Hu's faces upon hearing about Mu Chen's job, she added, "He delivers milk to the school."

Ming Mei figured that if Mu Chen said he would do it, he definitely could. So, without knowing if Mu Chen had successfully applied, she defaulted to him delivering milk to the school.

"Damn it!"

Instantly, Julian felt like he was the most ordinary one!

Well, maybe not. Julian thought again, maybe his sham marriage with Hu Yue was even more ordinary.

For a moment, Ming Mei seemed to read something from the expressions on their faces.

"The ones at school are trapped there, and there's a local Boss with a maxed-out blackening meter from the start, ready to explode at any time. But even though we can't go inside, we can change our perspective—"

Julian quickly adjusted his mindset and began to analyze, "Who says the Zerg's Boss partner in this game has to be next to the Boss?"

"You mean…"

Ming Mei's eyes lit up. She instantly understood what he meant!

"Maybe this bug isn't in the school either, but around it. What we need to do is search as much as possible in places other than the academy!"

"But I'm swamped with work. When I transmigrated, I had already slept at the company for two days. I only confirmed my relationship with the Boss because of the screensaver on my phone and the family photo on my desk."

Zhen Hu roughly estimated the amount of work this character had on his hands, and there were still a few days left!

He looked enviously at Julian, who was in the same company but could enjoy a delicious breakfast at home before coming to work.

"Don't be envious. I just remembered that I have to go on a business trip tonight for five days."

As Julian said this, he and Zhen Hu looked at Ming Mei in unison. Ming Mei, who had been happily eating her hot dog, was like: 0.0??

Did this have anything to do with her?

……

"Oh my god? It's Ming Mei, right?"

Because the two people she knew couldn't "tour the city" due to work, Julian and Zhen Hu turned their attention to Ming Mei.

So Ming Mei had no choice but to open an online ordering and delivery service for her shop in the afternoon and personally deliver the goods.

However, this meant that there would be no one in the store, so she posted a job advertisement. To her surprise, someone came to apply within an hour of posting it.

It was Bai Xiao.

"Oh my god?"

Ming Mei didn't expect that a random job posting would attract another player.

But the other party wasn't looking for a job for herself, but for Yuan Fang, who was also a player and playing her husband.

"Wow, you two, this fake couple acting like a real one is really something." Ming Mei was amazed when she heard that Yuan Fang was also involved.

Their treatment was much better than the couple next door playing father and daughter.

"If Yuan Fang comes, he can deliver the food." Ming Mei thought it would be better for her to enjoy the air conditioning.

They were all players anyway, so it was the same who went to "tour the city."

"That might not be very convenient…" Bai Xiao looked embarrassed. Ming Mei noticed and asked another question. Bai Xiao then said frankly that Yuan Fang's character in this game was a disabled person who had lost both legs.

Because Ming Mei's "hiring cashier" sign didn't set any conditions, she mustered the courage to come.

Moreover, Ming Mei had just said that the hot dogs here only needed to be heated, without any particularly high operating skills. Therefore, Yuan Fang could easily handle it.

Their current life was very poor! They urgently needed a job to improve their conditions.

Due to the character setting, they even exchanged their academy points for half the amount of cash others did.

Ming Mei thought there was something wrong with Bai Xiao just now?

It was that temperament and expression. Although the character was played by a player, some players really had terrible acting skills and had to rely on the original character's temperament and some inadvertently revealed expressions.

So, wasn't the sense of incongruity the lack of embarrassment that Bai Xiao, who had been pampered since childhood, was missing?

Perhaps Bai Xiao herself didn't even notice, when she heard Ming Mei's disappointed expression about Yuan Fang not being able to be a delivery driver, a momentary look of nervousness and guilt flashed across her face, and she couldn't help but clench her hands nervously.

Bai Xiao apologized to Ming Mei guiltily, saying that if her job wasn't so demanding, she would definitely come to apply for the delivery job for Ming Mei.

"By the way? What's your character's job in this game?"

"Cleaning lady at the school next door, half-day shift, 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM. I just got off work and came here."

Knowing that Ming Mei was her classmate and that everyone was playing a game, helping each other was the right thing to do, but she still couldn't help but feel nervous, afraid that Ming Mei would refuse. She couldn't help but think that she might be humiliating herself.

"Then come on~"

Realizing that Bai Xiao might be affected by the psychology of a middle-aged woman struggling with life's difficulties, Ming Mei deliberately spoke in a very relaxed tone when she agreed, and didn't show any tangled or distressed expression on her face.

On the contrary, she repeatedly emphasized that everyone was a classmate and that helping each other in this game was the right thing to do.

"That's great! I'll bring Yuan Fang over tomorrow morning!" Ming Mei's tone quickly influenced Bai Xiao, and she smiled and agreed.

Afterwards, Ming Mei stopped her and asked her to sit in the store for a while to exchange information.

Ming Mei deliberately picked out some funny and laughable information to say. With Bai Xiao's state, Ming Mei didn't think that she could influence people for a long time just by saying something happy.

Maybe as soon as she went out, Bai Xiao's mood would change back.

"Hahahaha! Seriously? Everyone is so miserable?"

"Yeah, everyone is running around like crazy. They're so envious of those who can get into school." As she said this, Ming Mei led the conversation to Bai Xiao's job and asked, "You work as a cleaning lady at the school, have you noticed anything unusual?"

"Unusual… not really, just half a day, doesn't seem like anything."

Bai Xiao shook her head, but after thinking about it carefully, she added, "Maybe it's because the area I clean is only the playground and the outside of the teaching building. There's no one there during class, so there's nothing to see. I'll switch shifts with them in a few days.

I heard from my colleagues that the salary for cleaning the teaching building is higher than sweeping the playground."

Ming Mei: "..."

This seems to have turned back again.

"However, even though the salary is higher, I see that several of my colleagues who clean the building don't want to and want to switch shifts~" Bai Xiao said, with a mysterious look on her face, "The key is that everyone's mouths are pretty tight, and I couldn't get anything out of them no matter what I asked. But I did overhear a little something."

"Hmm?"

"It is said that… the toilets are haunted."

Ming Mei: "..."
