Chapter 1 Jiang Cheng's Acquaintances

His gaze swept slowly from left to right across the several people in front of him, until it reached the last woman, at which point Jiang Cheng's gaze suddenly became subtle.

The woman looked young, dressed in a mature style, an apricot-colored top paired with a green skirt, revealing a hint of playfulness in her elegance.

Her face was lightly made up, like a young person who had just stepped out of school and into the workplace.

There was still a hint of naivety about her that had not yet faded.

The woman was very quiet, and her light chestnut eyes gave a soft, non-aggressive illusion.

That's right, it was an illusion.

Because Jiang Cheng could clearly feel the hostility hidden in those eyes.

It almost pierced him through.

Jiang Cheng did not expect to run into an acquaintance here.

Chen Xiaomeng.

Also the pure girl dressed as a student in the first mission.

After a brief contact of their eyes, they both moved them away imperceptibly.

Due to the addition of the new teammate, the atmosphere in the private room instantly became subtle. For a while, no one spoke, and everyone was silently observing.

"It seems we're in luck," a refined man of about 40 years old said with a smile after looking around, his voice calm and powerful. "Everyone is very calm, there are no new people this time, it should be much easier."

Jiang Cheng noticed this man when he came in, his face was handsome and refined, his clothes were decent, his posture was upright, and with the embellishment of silver-rimmed glasses, he was very conspicuous in the crowd.

He rubbed his forehead and said with a wry smile that his last mission was with three or four new people. As soon as they entered the mission, two new people started fighting because they couldn't accept reality due to the pressure.

As a result, the commotion was so loud that it attracted the police, almost delaying the normal development of the plot.

"There are... police in the mission?"

The speaker was a woman. She seemed very restrained, and her dress was relatively ordinary, probably around 35 years old, and her maintenance was average.

If you look closely, there are faint crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

The man seemed to have guessed the woman's thoughts. He glanced at the latter and said with a smile, "Although their identity is police, they will not directly intervene in our plot, and the assistance they provide is limited."

Hearing this, the light that had ignited in the woman's eyes slowly went out again.

It seems... it is impossible to simply use the police to solve the case and clear the mission.

"How long have you been here?" Jiang Cheng suddenly asked.

"I arrived about 10 minutes ago," the first to speak was a fat man with a bird's nest head. He saw that everyone was looking at him, and his tone weakened unconsciously. He whispered, "I pushed the door open and appeared here."

"Here refers to..."

"This private room," he pursed his lips and pointed to a remaining shoe print on the table, embarrassed, "I stepped out of the door and stood on the table."

"Tsk," Jiang Cheng's lips moved, and he couldn't help but think of his fat cat.

Could it be... is there some kind of transaction between Nightmares and fat people?

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why the spawn point for the fat player is so excellent every time. In the last mission, the fat man was standing directly on the table on the third floor of the café, facing the school.

And this time, the Nightmare was even more excessive to him, and actually made him spawn in the toilet.

"What about you?" Jiang Cheng, not giving up, looked at the others.

The answers varied.

Some were in the kitchen, next to the pot of braised pork, some were on the bed in the room upstairs, but more people were born in the private room, but not as directly as the bird's nest head fat man.

"Bro," the bird's nest head fat man seemed to suddenly react to something, his eyes darting, "Only you were born in the toilet."

Jiang Cheng leaned back, against the cloth-covered back of the chair, and said carelessly, "It's okay," then he continued in a cadence: "Didn't you also spawn standing on the table?"

The bird's nest head looked at him with a puzzled look.

"I have a fat friend who was also born standing on the table," Jiang Cheng glanced at him and said, "Just in the last mission."

The bird's nest head was stunned for a moment, and hesitated, "Then... what happened?"

"Forget it," Jiang Cheng waved his hand, his attitude suddenly becoming serious, "Passing the mission is the priority, I'm still waiting to go back to see my friend, it's his seventh day memorial this Saturday."

The bird's nest head fat man: "???"

Although the refined man brought the topic back on track in time, the bird's nest head fat man seemed a little withdrawn.

According to the refined man, they are currently in a town called Anping.

The town is not big, and even in those days, it was a very backward place.

This inn is the only inn in the town. It looks quite large, but it only has three floors in total.

They are currently on the first floor, the inn's own restaurant.

The second and third floors are for accommodating passing travelers.

After saying this, he explained the source of the news. He did not leave this inn, but was revealed by the passing guests and the owner of this inn during casual conversations.

"It seems that this is where our mission will take place," Chen Xiaomeng said calmly, which was very different from her in the first mission.

"Heh..."

A soft laugh full of sarcasm sounded.

Then, a charming woman's voice slowly came out: "That's not for sure, how dare you say such a thing based on the current situation, are you tired of living?"

Jiang Cheng looked in the direction of the voice, and a charming woman was leaning on the back of her chair. The light in the woman's eyes was flowing, like a charming snake.

Chen Xiaomeng was about to retort——

"Say a few words less," a trace of distress appeared on the refined man's face.

Jiang Cheng understood in his heart, no wonder the man mentioned the impact of team disharmony on the plot progress in the last mission as soon as he appeared.

It turned out that he was secretly beating these two women.

Judging from the current atmosphere of tension, the two of them had probably already had a dispute before he arrived.

"The situation is unclear now, everyone don't panic," the refined man said, half comforting and half warning.

He is similar to Fan Li in the first instance in terms of leadership, but he is obviously stronger than the latter in terms of ease of use.

After he said this, the enchanting woman and Chen Xiaomeng did shut up.

This made Jiang Cheng couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

"Now, I would like to ask everyone to introduce themselves," the refined man said, "Name, occupation, and expertise or skills," he paused, and added: "This is very important."

Then he took the lead in setting an example, and looked at everyone and said: "My name is Zhou Rong, and I am the vice president of Qiancheng International Group, specializing in big data analysis."

He didn't give others a chance to refuse, and immediately looked at the next person next to him.

That was a thin middle-aged man, dressed more formally, but a pair of small eyes could not hide his exhaustion. He couldn't bear Zhou Rong's gaze, and quickly replied: "My name is Jiang Zhongyi, I am... a trainee pastor, I am good at..."
