Chapter 148

"Sorry, is the light in the room too bright? Actually, I don't like the dark, so the room is always like this."

Looking at O'Lai, who was still wearing black casual clothes at home, Mingmei couldn't help but twitch her lips at his slightly perfunctory explanation.

He doesn't like the dark, but likes black?

He doesn't like the dark, but hides in dark corners to watch matches at the arena?

Besides the time O'Lai fought Mu Chen, he went there twice more, each time watching Mu Chen's three matches before leaving, just like Mingmei.

Moreover, both times he was in an unnoticed, dark corner.

However, "unnoticed" here does not include Mingmei.

Therefore, Mingmei had nothing but a sneer in her heart for O'Lai's current excuse.

"It's just that my eyes haven't adjusted yet, it's actually very nice here."

Mu Chen shook his head, indicating that they didn't mind, but in his heart, he felt pretty much the same as Mingmei.

He held the gift in one hand, and Mingmei's hand in the other, following O'Lai towards the living room.

Mu Chen's appearance of constantly holding Mingmei's hand and cautiously protecting her behind him was all seen by O'Lai, obviously, he was still wary of O'Lai.

O'Lai wasn't annoyed by this. He had expected Mu Chen to react this way.

Therefore, he was very satisfied with Mu Chen's hint of willingness to cooperate with him, even though he was wary of him, he was still willing to bring his weakness with him.

"You don't have to be so polite."

O'Lai led the two into the living room, his gaze falling on the gift Mu Chen was holding, his tone softening a little.

But because he was like this, Mingmei and Mu Chen couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

They thought about it at home and finally gritted their teeth and brought the housewarming gift.

It was what came out of the boxed lunches, a crystal core and a seafood barbecue, all packed together ＿(：3」∠)_

Although the things they drew seemed like a death wish, Mu Chen thought about it, and with Yan Hui's character, he shouldn't do something that would make players spend money without any experience.

After all, although Yan Hui was a jerk, when it came to making money, he was relatively tolerant to those who paid.

Besides, no one said that the top rulers of the underground city were all united, right?

O'Lai and that Octopus guy were completely different styles, okay? If they could be in the same group, Mingmei would go to her uncle's door and cry when the game ended.

The two followed O'Lai into the living room and had just sat down when their eyes fell on a pot of hot tea on the coffee table. oγg

Judging from the condensation on the spout, the tea had just been brewed, not long ago.

Thinking, Mingmei couldn't help but glance at O'Lai, who was sitting on a single sofa, and then discreetly swept her gaze around.

There was a fourth person here.

...

Outside the game,

Yan Hui had just sent Hu Mingli away. This person was like a piece of chewing gum, insisting on asking him about the specific situation of the Outer Star Sea. He clearly knew that Ming Qi and the others occupied a part of the Outer Star Sea's forces, but Hu Mingli's intuition was frighteningly accurate.

"I always feel that in the Outer Star Sea, apart from your family's information channels, you must have secrets that I don't know about."

To this, Yan Hui only smiled slightly, not revealing anything.

"Information brokers, after all. Information channels come first. No one wants to reveal their livelihood to others."

After sending Hu Mingli away, Yan Hui called Mei Qiu via video call. Mei Qiu, who was about to have a sweet night with Cheshire, was very unhappy with his uncle's behavior of calling him day or night, whenever he pleased.

Strong condemnation!

Avoiding his wife's resentful gaze, Mei Qiu answered the video call.

"Why did it take you so long to answer? Am I interrupting something good? Or—are you too fast?"

Towards his niece and nephew, Yan Hui was like two different people. Seeing the dissatisfaction under Mei Qiu's cold face, Yan Hui teased him as soon as he came up.

"No one wants to be disturbed when something good is happening, unlike you, Uncle, a lonely old man who is free to do whatever he wants~"

Mei Qiu wasn't polite either, retorting at Yan Hui, feeling a little more comfortable.

Unfortunately, he didn't see his uncle get angry, his skills weren't good enough.

"Any news about your parents?"

"Them? Not yet, but—the agreed time is almost here, no matter what the situation is this time, they will come back."

Mei Qiu didn't think his parents would suffer any losses. Even if this world was a Dharma Ending Age, and he couldn't let his father display his world-destroying abilities, still, no one wanted to see two people who had cultivated themselves suddenly go berserk.

"After all, we have to give Feng Li an explanation, right?"

"Ah~ that's true." Mentioning Feng Li, Yan Hui couldn't help but sigh, "I originally thought I might hate the Zerg the most in my life."

"I thought you hated my father the most."

Mei Qiu joked, and was glared at by his uncle, so he just shrugged and shut up.

"However, I think maybe the reason I don't hate Feng Li is not because she's only half Zerg, but because I hate pure Zerg."

Mei Qiu also knew the Feng Li that Yan Hui was talking about, a mermaid-Zerg hybrid that his parents rescued during their travels, a guy who ran away as soon as his injuries healed, without even saying thank you.

If Ming Qi's people hadn't almost been exposed in the Outer Star Sea and saved by the other party, his mother would have suspected that the mermaid they had rescued had been caught and sold again.

"What has she been doing recently?" Mentioning Feng Li, Mei Qiu also asked politely.

After all, she told Mei Qiu and the others about the Zerg's birth secrets.

"She's in the game."

"Huh?"

"Accompanying—ah, that should also be O'Lai, right?"

Mentioning O'Lai, Yan Hui couldn't help but rub his eyebrows. In an era where medicine was so advanced, were there still medical problems that couldn't be overcome?

...

"Wow..."

Looking at the "mermaid" sitting in the wheelchair, Mingmei couldn't help but exclaim. The "mermaid" sitting in the wheelchair gently pursed her lips and looked at Mingmei, the corners of her mouth curving, making people feel good.

"Hello, child of the Ming family."

"You know me?" Mingmei was stunned. What was going on with this NPC? Or did the role she was playing have an unknown identity?

Just as Mingmei was guessing whether Yan Hui had deliberately designed multiple identities to mess with her at a critical moment, the other party said directly, "Your eyebrows and eyes are very similar to your father's, but your mouth and face shape are like your mother's."

"Do you know my dad's and mom's surnames?"

Mingmei knew exactly which parts of her looked like her parents. What the other party said was completely accurate, so Mingmei couldn't think that this was an Easter egg that her uncle had prepared for her in the game.

She even suspected that the NPC in front of her was also played by a real person.
