Chen Yuan had been humming to himself just moments ago.

Then, in the next moment, he became serious.

And, he placed his hand on Xia Xinyu's shoulder, gently embracing her.

However, no matter how manly his behavior, the contrast with his previous actions made it seem unconvincing.

Got it.

Pause time.

Then just kill all four of these people.

What's the big deal? Isn't this how superpowers are supposed to be used?

So, let's start with Jiao Yu.

"They're playing a really interesting game over there, let's go take a look," Qian Duo'er said, unsure whether she was afraid of being silenced or just wanted to change the subject, pointing her finger in that direction.

"Yes, very interesting," Xia Xinyu also revealed a very interested look and said to Chen Yuan.

"Then let's go take a look together," Chen Yuan said.

"So, is what happened just now going to be dropped like that?" He Sijiao clenched her fist, staring at Chen Yuan, this ingrate, her tone not very good, "Chen Yuan, tell me yourself, did I try to chase you away just now?"

"Whoever lies is a dog," Zhou Yu also said very seriously, for the sake of his own reputation.

"See, they're just being so aggressive," Chen Yuan continued to complain to Xia Xinyu.

""Hey, you!"" Jiao Yu pointed at him in sync.

"Got you rattled," Chen Yuan made a Jerry-like expression.

""Rattled your *ss!""

Jiao Yu once again spoke in unison.

It could be said that it takes ten years to share a boat, and a hundred years to achieve perfect synchronization.

"You two have such great chemistry, you must be amazing at that game," The outgoing Qian Duo'er, seeing Jiao Yu like this, spoke up with considerable enthusiasm.

""Huh?""

The two were confused.

And so, everyone went together.

Then, they saw many people surrounding an arcade game in the shopping mall.

Sitting on the sofa opposite the arcade game was a couple.

The two were holding controllers, playing a game.

Although it wasn't like Dance Dance Revolution, where the buttons were clattering like a demolition site, it was still possible to see how exciting the game was through other aspects.

"No, look at the order, it's onions, why are you chopping potatoes..."

"Washing dishes! There are no clean bowls!"

"The pot, the pot, the pot exploded! Fire... no, put out the fire!"

"Ugh, what are you even doing? You're so stupid."

The girl next to the boy was playing while frantically giving instructions, or more accurately, shifting the blame.

And the boy was also simmering with anger, getting redder and redder.

If they played for a while longer, he'd probably need to take a shower.

It could only be said that the game's cooperation mechanism, as well as the timed mode, and the ultra-realistic ordering, preparing, cooking, and dishwashing stages, meant that when playing it, you were bound to be shouting.

"No wonder it's the famous Overcooked," Zhou Yu muttered softly from behind.

"What's Overcooked?" He Sijiao asked, puzzled.

"It's just that couples who play this game end up arguing, but they still want to play even while arguing, so it evolves into..."

"How could anyone argue over a game? That's so childish," He Sijiao said with considerable disdain.

"..."

Zhou Yu had a bad feeling.

Chen Yuan also had a bad feeling.

"We haven't even argued before," Xia Xinyu looked at Chen Yuan with anticipation, "Will this game really make us argue?"

"Don't go looking for trouble, Xinyu-zi," Chen Yuan warned.

"You guys should play later too, it's a shopping mall event, there are prizes!" But with the busybody Qian Duo'er around, stirring things up, this was bound to happen.

"Yeah, one-star clearance is a 30% off voucher for some items, two-star clearance is a 50% off voucher, and three-star clearance is a 90% off voucher," Yu Xin Yue also chimed in, helping out.

"It's free anyway, let's just try it," Xia Xinyu revealed a very cute expression.

"I want to play too, definitely want to play," He Sijiao grabbed Zhou Yu's hand and walked to the front of the line.

And the couple in front of her had originally wanted to line up, but after seeing the performance of the couple currently playing the game...

My girlfriend is even crazier than that girl!

My boyfriend is not as tolerant as that guy!

If we really played, it wouldn't just be a meme, it could really lead to a breakup.

Let's go.

"Want to, want to?" Xia Xinyu was eager to try.

"Do you want to argue? Or do you want to play the game?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Kind of want both," Xia Xinyu said with great anticipation.

"..."

Xia Xinyu, this b*tch, is really abstract.

Isn't it good for two people to be respectful and not argue?

Okay, got it.

This is also one of Yu-zi's kinky games.

But playing this kind of argument play in front of so many people...

It could only be said that she was really bold.

"Besides, I think we have great chemistry. Maybe we can do things that others can't," Xia Xinyu actually felt that this was more about doing something together with Chen Yuan.

That was meaningful.

[And Chen Yuan is always so reliable, he should be great at this game...]

[If we let them watch us dominate, that would sound so cool!]

After eavesdropping on Xia Xinyu's thoughts, Chen Yuan finally understood what Xinyu was up to.

So, she was thinking that I could carry her and show off in front of everyone.

I have to say, Xinyu really believes in me.

But I don't believe in you!

After all, I'm half a gaming god, playing this kind of business simulation game is naturally a piece of cake.

But you, usually play either Honor of Kings or Eggy Party, or even Dream Star, which Tencent invested 1.4 billion in promotion and tens of millions of people are playing!

Wait, why am I so excited when I didn't even get paid for the ad?

In short, Yu-zi, who doesn't even have a Steam account, will definitely be the one dragging me down.

When the time comes, I'm afraid I'll be scolding Yu-zi there.

Of course, Chen Yuan would definitely not do that.

Whatever, since she wants to, then let's fight.

"It's not maybe we can."

Chen Yuan tapped Xia Xinyu's forehead with his finger, then took her hand and walked behind Jiao Yu: "We definitely can."

"Chen Yuan, kind of handsome," Qian Duo'er sensed something called boyfriend power.

"Isn't that how those boys all act at the beginning? By the end, they're all red-faced and don't want to talk," Yu Xin Yue curled her lips into a smile, saying very proudly, "Xinyu will definitely be the one dragging him down, just wait and see."

Even the most emotionally stable couples will get heated playing this game.

"I'm sorry, but you two didn't pass..." The shopping mall staff member wearing a little red hat hadn't finished speaking when the girl sitting on the sofa got up and activated Ghost Walk.

The boy had no choice but to take her bag and follow behind her helplessly, under everyone's gaze...

"It really is Overcooked."

"Hahaha, the best episode for single people."

"Already turned several couples into this, the shopping mall has something going on."

"Malicious fun."

"Another couple is here, still high schoolers."

Under the expectant gazes of the onlookers, the Jiao Yu duo took the stage.

"Remember what I said, it's just a game, don't take it seriously, it's just winning or losing, don't get worked up, stay rational, respect each other..."

Zhou Yu told He Sijiao the precautions before starting.

"I know, just start already," He Sijiao waved her hand impatiently.

Then, the game began just like that.

The characters controlled by the two controllers appeared in the kitchens of two moving food trucks...

While they were playing, Xia Xinyu and Chen Yuan were also seriously studying the gameplay.

As the timer started, the tense kitchen game began.

"You pass the ingredients and I'll chop them, stay over there, don't come over here."

He Sijiao made the overall plan from the beginning.

This was also to prevent the two of them from getting chaotic and arguing as a result.

Zhou Yu listened to her and did just that.

"I'm frying, you need to move over there..."

"Moving, moving, I'm stewing soup," Zhou Yu seriously controlled his character, not trying to steal He Sijiao's work.

"No, come help me!"

"Wait, the food truck hasn't moved over, I can't get there..."

"It's going to burn, it's going to burn! Ahhh! Help!"

"Wait, coming right away, wait for me..."

"It burned! Ahhh!"

"..." Zhou Yu, who was playing the game steadily, turned his head in astonishment, looking at the chaos on He Sijiao's side, as well as the frantic He Sijiao, and realized that everything a woman says is bullsh*t.

But, it was too late.

"Serve the food, serve the food... Where are the plates! Go wash a plate!"

"Men are really something, if you tell them to wash a plate, they really only wash a plate, why not do something else while you're at it!"

"No, what's with that attitude? You're just throwing the food on the ground?"

"..." Zhou Yu was stunned.

I can't even throw food on the ground without it being about my attitude?

He Sijiao, don't try to assign additional meaning to me just because we're playing a game!

"Uh..."

"This girl looked okay at the beginning, when did she suddenly mutate... change."

"This really is a magical game."

"At this rate, they should be able to barely pass with one star..."

Although the two were cooperating in a chaotic mess, they still managed to serve a few dishes, and the score reached 240, exactly one star's score with 20 extra points.

Fortunately, they should be able to pass.

Just as Zhou Yu was thinking this, in the last three seconds, the order at the top suddenly timed out, deducting 30 points!

Then, only 210 was left...

Seeing that they had barely passed with a low score but were ruined by the order timing out, He Sijiao immediately became furious: "No, I'm about to close up shop and they're still sending orders, do they have to get that last bite?!"

"..." And Zhou Yu just watched her play a game, scolding the chef, then scolding the vegetables, and after scolding the vegetables, scolding the customers, finding almost all the responsibilities she could find.

Except...

Never mind, I won't say it.

"Too bad, you were almost there," The little red hat revealed a warm smile.

"So annoying, you couldn't have been any faster..."

He Sijiao said halfway, then suddenly sighed: "Never mind, I have my own problems too."

You actually realized that you're the game black hole!

Zhou Yu couldn't help but have his eyes light up, revealing emotion.

"If I were a little better, I could have carried you to victory," He Sijiao said with emotion.

"..." Hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but roar in his heart.

Ahhh!!!

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

I'll beat up your mother cow!

"Very few people can pass the level, let alone pass with a high score."

"This game is really difficult."

"Mainly because those who haven't played this before, it's really hard to win the first time."

"Even if you've played it, it's hard to pass if you're carrying someone who doesn't know how to play, right?"

"Well, here comes another couple of high schoolers."

Seeing Xia Xinyu and Chen Yuan go up, the onlookers were even happier.

This couple's appearance is really high.

And the girl inside, at first glance, is the kind of gentle lady.

Completely unimaginable, what they would look like arguing.

But, we can see it today.

"Even people as in sync as them lost, this game is so hard," Qian Duo'er couldn't help but exclaim.

"I feel like being in sync and having chemistry are two different things..." After Yu Xin Yue complained, she looked at the two who were preparing for the game, and whispered to Qian Duo'er, "Let's see how Chen Yuan reacts when Xinyu is in a mess and dragging him down."

"Chen Yuan is such a good boyfriend, he definitely won't... but after seeing so many couples, I don't think anything can be said for sure."

"It can only be said that details show the true nature. Unless Chen Yuan is a saint, he won't be anxious at all."

"You have too high expectations for Chen Yuan, I think as long as he doesn't lose his temper when his partner is too bad, he's considered to have a good personality."

"You two are both convinced that Xinyu will drag him down?"

He Sijiao didn't think so.

And Qian Duo'er and Yu Xin Yue glanced at her, making awkward smiles together...

More terrifying than a game black hole is someone who is a game black hole but doesn't know it!

...

The little red hat had been working here as a staff member all afternoon. Originally, her job was very boring, but seeing these couples getting angry and arguing, her mood suddenly became full.

The person who invented this game is really a genius.

Here, you can see the most authentic side of human nature.

Shifting responsibility, being stubborn, creating anxiety by being anxious, getting more and more irritable, etc.

No wonder it's Overcooked.

What will this couple explode over?

The little red hat was very much looking forward to it.

Because these two people's looks are so much higher than ordinary people, they must not have encountered too many setbacks.

Let the game give you a lesson.

But this boy seems to have very stable emotions...

It's okay, it's always like this at the beginning.

Let's start!

The game began.

This level is two moving food trucks, one is responsible for fried food, and the other is responsible for stews.

But the food truck responsible for preparing the food and serving the food will move between the two kitchens.

Currently, frying fries and fish seems easier.

"You fry fries and fish, don't worry about me. Put them on the plate next to the serving station when they're fried, I'll take the orders, don't stray too far from your stove."

Chen Yuan instructed before starting.

"Okay, okay, I've seen it, I understand," Xia Xinyu made a gesture, then started playing seriously.

Just like that, the game started.

Chen Yuan quickly completed his work, looking at the orders and preparing the ingredients.

But he found that Xia Xinyu was a bit clumsy, insisting on taking one vegetable, chopping it, putting it in the pot, and then doing the next one.

So, Chen Yuan simply helped her throw the vegetables she needed next to her.

"The boy knows how to play, and he's very efficient."

"He can even help the girl."

"It's always like this at the beginning, by the time the orders explode, they won't be able to take care of others."

"Then the orders on the other side will explode, deducting points non-stop, even Nüwa can't fix it." (Nüwa is a Chinese goddess known for creating humanity and patching up the sky)

Everyone had been watching all along, how could they not know this pattern.

Just like that, they gradually watched.

When Chen Yuan was cooking tomato and mushroom soup, and doing two orders at the same time, one of Xia Xinyu's pots turned red, almost about to explode, and she was still chopping potatoes, so she was so scared that she quickly put down the potatoes, ready to move the pot, but she hadn't taken the plate, a visible mess...

"Chen Yuan, I... what do I do..." Xia Xinyu was anxious, seeing that her order was about to time out and deduct points.

Originally, it was already the limit for Chen Yuan to complete two orders by himself.

Sure enough, here comes the troublemaker.

"The classic part is here."

"Generally, the source of the argument is here."

"And although the boy has finished making the food, he hasn't served it yet, if the girl's order is about to time out, it'll be negative points."

"When it's negative points, they'll panic."

"It's over, it's over, this group is going to be in trouble too."

The more Xia Xinyu heard everyone say this, the more chaotic she became, because she couldn't get any feedback, and her hands started to shake...

Chen Yuan glanced at the situation over there, and immediately paused time.

Holy sh*t, Xinyu, aren't you supposed to be a little chef?

Why is the kitchen like a garbage dump?

Wait, let me think.

After pausing time, Chen Yuan started studying the orders.

On my side, there are three pots that I can control at the same time.

The three orders are onion, mushroom, and tomato soup.

Nine vegetables and three plates are needed.

As for Xia Xinyu, two servings of fish and chips, and one single baked fish, also three plates.

Then that's...

According to the situation on the field, Chen Yuan did some extreme thinking, for a full five minutes.

Then, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Time, continue!

"Xinyu, put the baked fish aside after it's baked, put the baked potatoes aside after they're baked, and then don't worry about anything else."

"But the order is about to time out..."

"Then let it time out."

After Chen Yuan calmly said these four words, Xia Xinyu's heart suddenly settled down.

Everyone, however, laughed at this person's youth.

They won't be calm in a moment.

After the food truck serving the food merged with Chen Yuan's side, he directly served two plates of stew.

Immediately afterwards, he took out all nine vegetables and threw them on the ground, his character, like a bulldozer, kicked them all to his own kitchen cutting board.

And, took three plates.

He's going to stew three dishes at the same time!

At this time, the food truck went to Xia Xinyu's side again.

"Put your potatoes and baked fish on a plate together and serve it, then quickly get two fish and a potato."

"Get back to the kitchen before the food trucks separate."

"Chop the fish first, then chop the potato."

"Put both of them together and bake them."

"While baking, chop another potato, and open another stove to bake."

"First take the first pot to the side, wait two seconds and take the second pot..."

Everyone found that the boy was talking all the time while playing the game.

And he wasn't asking for help or discussing, but guiding the girl in every operation in detail...

But when he was saying these words, he didn't even look at the other person's screen!

"Holy sh*t, preparing five dishes at the same time!"

"It feels like two orders are going to time out all at once... Holy sh*t, serving the dishes at the last second!"

"He even helped the girl chop a vegetable!"

"All five orders didn't time out."

"Then, he started preparing the next five orders!"

"He doesn't seem to be looking at the other side at all, how does he know what the other side is going to do..."

"Playing blind chess, holy sh*t."

Everyone was stunned.

Because this boy was there, operating his chef to move at the speed of light, while constantly giving the girl feedback.

And all the girl needed to do was, according to Chen Yuan's reminders, press the controller buttons again and again...

Not a single argument!

Because that boy didn't give the girl any chance to speak.

As long as one party doesn't have any chance to speak, it's impossible to have an argument!

Amazing.

"..." The little red hat was also stunned.

Is this how you're supposed to play this game?

These two people are like a couple who have been running a breakfast shop for more than ten years!

Madly devouring the customers' money, without stopping for a moment.

In the shopping mall, there are very few people who have reached two stars, 480 points or more, on this level.

But these two people did five orders at a time, five orders at a time.

Almost every time, they were serving the dishes just in time.

As a result, they now have 940 points, far exceeding the three-star line of 720 points...

In the last three seconds of the countdown, Chen Yuan actually served two orders in three seconds.

1030!

Over a thousand points!

"...Holy, holy sh*t."

"Born to be a holy body for a breakfast shop couple."

"First time seeing someone break a thousand points... too ruthless."

Everyone was stunned.

"Zhou Yu, look at them~" He Sijiao started pushing Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu: "..."

Jiao-zi, stop playing the cow meme!

"Amazing, they didn't argue even once."

Qian Duo'er was shocked and wanted to turn her head to complain about Yu Xin Yue's preconceived notions being too arbitrary, but found that this guy's cheeks were flushed while looking at Chen Yuan's profile.

Huh?

Yu Xin Yue, whose heart suddenly fluttered, realized that she was a sapiosexual.

She was the first time she thought Chen Yuan looked so f*cking handsome in the way he was just now...

It could almost be said that he was exploding with alpha energy.

"T, three stars?"

Xia Xinyu, holding the controller, didn't react even after finishing the game.

When she turned her head, she saw the calm Chen Yuan, giving a faint smile and then extending his palm to high-five her: "Xinyu, we're really too strong."
