“Meimei, don’t you really want to ask me why I made mistakes back then?”

“I don’t. Didn’t I say before? If you want to tell me, just tell me directly. If talking about the past burdens you, then don’t tell me for now.”

Mingmei shook her head, her eyes devoid of any negative emotions, so clear that people felt ashamed just looking at them.

“Since you’ve come out, it means you’ve paid for your sins. Besides… you’ve already met my father and my uncles. If you really had a problem, I wouldn’t even need to ask for an explanation. My dad and them would give you a hard time.”

Although the little person in Mingmei's heart had already grabbed a melon, ready to take a big bite, the person opposite her was Mu Chen. Seeing the other party suddenly staring at her seriously, Mingmei suddenly didn't want him to say it.

She felt like this story wasn't suitable for her to hear right now.

"Ah," Mingmei sighed deliberately, propping her cheeks with her hands, but when she looked at Mu Chen, her eyes had a different flavor.

"What's wrong?"

It was the first time Mingmei had stared at him like this, and Mu Chen felt a little embarrassed.

“Listening to your analysis just now, who else could compare to that insect, and who else could make him afraid enough to experiment on you?”

Mingmei turned the topic back to business.

“This is just my guess. If in the next game, he continues to target me or the Boss in the game, then I can probably confirm that there is indeed something in these games that makes him extremely afraid.”

“Hmm…” Mingmei nodded thoughtfully, her gaze wandering, occasionally looking at Mu Chen. Seeing her like this, Mu Chen couldn’t help but ask what was wrong.

"I'm, I'm saying… you said my uncle 'exploited' those extremely vicious spiritual entities severely. The insect race's spiritual power is naturally more abundant and stronger than humans. If he found a loophole to exploit for so many years, then if there really is such a character like you said, how strong would he be, and what kind of character would he be?"

“This… I don’t know either.”

The only way to know was to ask Yan Hui, but the game ended very late today, and they had classes early tomorrow morning, so this matter had to be postponed…

She had a dreamless night. The next morning, when she went downstairs, Mingmei received breakfast from Mu Chen: fragrant, soft pancakes with thick, sweet jam, and warm milk. Mingmei ate with great pleasure.

While eating the pancakes, Mingmei's gaze fell on Lu Gui, who had also come downstairs to pick up his sister, but the expression on his face was quite foul.

"Did you come together?"

"No. We ran into each other on the way."

Mingmei and Mu Chen walked ahead, and on the way, Mingmei couldn't help but ask, "Lu Gui's expression didn't look good, what happened?"

"I heard that the game Lu Gui entered yesterday had a ridiculously altered plot. He was careless and was killed at the beginning and sent out."

"Ah, how tragic."

At this, Mingmei turned her head and glanced at Lu Xiaoyao, who didn't seem to have gotten out of bed yet due to sleeping in. She had a premonition that Lu Xiaoyao would be "lectured" by her brother today.

…

"My brother… you tell me, it's clearly his own bad luck to encounter a door ambush, so how can he blame it on me?"

When eating lunch, Lu Xiaoyao specially pulled Mingmei together, and also invited Wang Wenfei and the other two to eat together.

“I also specifically inquired about the situation. Hu Yue and the others also entered the novice village last night, and my brother took my character.”

"Pfft, cough cough cough..."

Wang Wenfei couldn't hold back. So Zhen Po's situation wasn't an isolated case?

"Hmph, it was because he didn't have brains and was tricked at the beginning and packed off to the Zhang residence." Lu Xiaoyao bit her straw and said, "I just gave him a look of disdain, and he knocked me on the head! What if he knocks me stupid?"

At this, Mingmei and Wang Wenfei exchanged glances without saying a word, knocked stupid?

Could Lu Xiaoyao's lower limit of stupidity still be broken?

"I heard from Mu Chen that it was a point-blank kill at the start..."

Mingmei remembered that what Mu Chen said was a little different from what Lu Xiaoyao said.

"Well, my brother said that after he was sent to the Zhang residence, he ran away and resisted, and then he started fighting directly with Master Zhang."

Mingmei: "…"

She didn't know what level Master Zhang was without Mu Chen's control, but judging from what Lu Gui said, Lu Gui couldn't hold on and was directly killed, it seemed that Master Zhang himself was very powerful.

As Lu Xiaoyao spoke, she also mentioned what games those people she knew had entered these days, listed a list, and then said, "Here. These, I've seen them all say there are traces of the insect race. After we go back, we can do our homework in advance, and then go in and kill everyone."

“But didn’t they say that after entering a game where traces of the insect race are discovered, uploading the data, the game will be closed to restore the data, and then it will be fine? Why do we still need to do these things?”

Wang Wenfei's sister said that the notification they received after clearing the level last night was like this.

“Yes, but they entered, but they didn’t clear the level. They knew there were traces of the insect race, but they didn’t find the real traces, so they were all wiped out…”

As Lu Xiaoyao spoke, she also sighed, expressing amazement: "It was really a coincidence that we cleared the level yesterday. After all, that Boss's combat power was really too fierce, and he was willing to cooperate with us. If we encountered an uncooperative one… like my brother, you see, it would be a different story…”

As she said this, the three exchanged glances. Mingmei and Wang Wenfei took the game list from Lu Xiaoyao and looked at it carefully, but after this look, Mingmei discovered something abnormal again…

The game list didn't include the game where they made insect meat.

If her original guess was correct, then the escaped insect race should have escaped from the Gourmet game – that super intelligent Xingyan insect general.

Mingmei still remembered the time they played the game, this insect general almost killed them all in outer space.

“Is this the complete list?”

Mingmei asked uncertainly.

“I don’t know, these are the games my classmates have entered so far, maybe there will be more later?”

As Lu Xiaoyao spoke, she blinked at Mingmei and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Mingmei lowered her head and ate two bites of rice, but Lu Xiaoyao immediately said, "There are not many games that have been cleared again among these. The one I cleared last night was one of the few! Right? Feifei~"

When Mingmei wasn't in the same game as them, Wang Wenfei smiled at Lu Xiaoyao's smug face and winked at Mingmei, as if to say, "That's just how she is~"

Mingmei returned her a knowing look. After all, she was there, so how could she not know how this game was cleared?

However, even if she knew, Mingmei was still happy to watch Lu Xiaoyao show off silently, so she deliberately dug a hole and said, "Then you must be very powerful to be able to clear the level!"

"That's right!" Lu Xiaoyao raised her chin proudly, but then honestly emphasized again: "The main thing is that the Boss in the game is so awesome, he's actually willing to cooperate with us players!"

"Is that so?" Mingmei raised her eyebrows. Lu Xiaoyao actually changed her nature and praised Mu Chen?

“The Boss is indeed very understanding. We wanted to cooperate, and he immediately cooperated, without any hesitation at all. He could tell at a glance that we were extraordinary!”

Mingmei: "…"

Something felt wrong with this sentence.
