Hearing the contents of the menu, the face of the double-ponytailed girl paled: “What do you mean by, we are lucky?”

T smiled and looked over her and Rong Yi: “It’s not the arms, nor the legs and absolutely not any of the internal organs, it’s just the lips, which are small in size, also they can easily stop bleeding, isn’t that considered lucky?

The twin ponytails shrank her shoulders, and asked hesitantly: “Then If, if you cut off your lips, will it get restored when you get out of the copy later?”

“Unlikely.” The brawny man shrugged and said as a matter of fact, “The punishment for the mission failure is to leave our limbs behind. If the injuries in the copy will become reversible, then it can’t be called as a ‘punishment’.”

T shook his finger: “Well, you can’t say that either. When you accumulate enough points, you can buy anything from the carnival store. You can even buy Gong Li’s or Julia Roberts’ lips1.

The double ponytail glanced at Rong Yi in fear.

Rong Yi was smarter than her and looked tougher, the first two levels were cleared by mostly her help.

And she remembers that her skills were related to cooking, T and the strong man would definitely want to keep her as a cook!

Which means that the only one who can be eaten is herself …

Frightened and anxious, tears filled her eyelashes, her legs softened and she slowly slipped to the ground.

Rong Yo stroked her lips and thought for a while, looking up and saw the burly man’s eyes wandering between the two of them, while T had a look of ” please decide among yourself who to sacrifice”.

Right now, she is the only one who knows that the orge is anorexic, and if a pair of lips will be delivered to him, it will only be a useless sacrifice as probably he won’t eat it.

But in the current situation, the rules clearly indicated that they will have to sacrifice a female player to pass this level. T, an old player, is suspected of being a troublemaker, and the burly man is the kind of person who won’t let go of any vested interests.

If she puts forward her opinions, she will only get questions, rebuttals, or even violent suppression. All of this is a waste of her mission time, which is, a waste of her life.

Rong Yi once had a thought about letting the double-ponytailed girl draw a pair of lips.

But after checking her skills [Meet Parents], she changed her mind.

The instructions for using the skills are very simple. You can use a skill by saying “activate” + the Skill name and say “Stop” + Skill name to interrupt it. The skill is limited to 30 minutes per day, and the usage time limit is updated at 0:00.

This shows that :

1. The specific function of the skill needs to be explored by the player himself.

2. Her skill should come under the ‘time-limited’ category, instead of the ‘no. of times’ the skill is used such as that of the strong man and the twin-ponytailed girl.

3. Very important: The use of the skills are limited.

Therefore, there is a high chance that the double ponytails has a daily limit on her skills.

Who knows what will happen next? She has saved Twintails once, and this girl has developed a certain trust in her; although she is timid, she is barely an ally, and her ability to visualize would be an important help to Rong Yi. To concretize a pair of lips that ogres would not eat is a waste of a precious opportunity.

And with the mission rules being very clear “Please don’t try to deceive Mr Ogre”. Wouldn’t human lips made with visualization skills be considered deception?

If it does, then doing something prohibited by the game is likely to get severely punished.

Just when she was full of these thoughts, the hall broadcast rang, and the man’s voice still full of overwhelming joy itching for a beating said:

“Congratulations players, you got your hands on tonight’s menu and have studied it carefully. Mr Ogre is waiting in the dining room, and you can go to him anytime when the dishes are ready. Good luck in getting good reviews for your cooking skills!”

At the end of the broadcast, the wall with the secret door where the doll stood rose as a whole, revealing a gorgeously decorated dining room behind it.

At the marble dining table in the middle of the room, a man in a white suit sat with his back to them.

The strong man took a breath of cold air and gasped: “Food, ogre…” He quickly glanced at the time: “It’s almost half past five!”

There was still an hour before the deadline.

He and T looked towards each other and T nodded at him, the strong man rushed towards the kitchen and grabbed a watermelon knife.

The two ponytails immediately understood that the strong man was about to make a move! She desperately stood up on her weak feet, and fled to the other side of the hall!

“Start! Look at the wind and move the tiller!”

The strong man flashed, appearing in the middle of the straight line distance between his previous position and the double-ponytailed girl.

Rong Yi visually measured it, it was about 15 meters.

In other words, his flashing distance is also limited, up to 15 meters.

She walked quickly behind the doll, and shouted at the twin ponytails: “Come here!”

The two-ponytailed girl was in panic and didn’t know where to go, when she heard the voice, she hurriedly ran towards Rong Yi.

The strong man spat, and glared at Rong Yi: “Are you stupid! Why are you helping her? There are only two of you here, if I don’t cut her, should I change the target to you?!”

After speaking, he aimed at Rong Yi and activated his skill, and with flash——

The strong man found himself in front of the beautiful man doll.

Rong Yi observed for a while, the skill of the burly man is like playing billiards, aiming in one direction and teleporting in a straight line, until reaching the target position or the farthest moving distance.

She calculated it accurately, counting in a straight direction from the burly man’s previous position to their current one, the beautiful mannequin stood at the distance of 15 meters.

The puppet opened its mouth: “Hello”

After the greetings, he swung his wooden arm!

The brawny man hurriedly shouted: “Start! Look at the wind and move the tiller !”

However, he failed to escape from the punch.

“Look at the wind and move the tiller! Look…Look at the wind move tiller! ! ”

Rong Yi realized that not only distance, but also the no. of times the strong man can use his skill is limited. For now, it should be a maximum of four times a day.

He got so carried away that he didn’t even read the skill descriptions carefully, and used all four of his flashes. Now he’s here being beaten up without any power to fight back.

The strong man slumped to the ground, rolled and awkwardly crawled back, barely out of the attack range.

Unsurprisingly the live barrage screen was filled with another burst of hahahas, T took a deep breath, stepped forward and helped the strong man up.

He looked at Rong Yi and the twin Ponytails with a somber expression: “You have just started the game, and may not agree with my point of view, but sacrifice is always necessary in the game. When I first entered we were a total of four players, but when I went out, we were left with only two and a half.”

Rong Yi: …Now we are entering the story session?

The burly man with a bruised nose and swollen face beaten to the point of a pig’s head, didn’t forget to carry the scene: “Why… two and a half?”

The two supported each other, and T immediately took over the scene, showing an expression that couldn’t bear to recall the past: “That time, our menu was braised human legs…”

The burly man shivered, and turned to shout at Rong Yi and the twin ponytails: “See? We are lucky enough! And you still want to die, aren’t you satisfied?!”

Ha, now Rong Yi understands T’s intention, to make them clearly see the so-called “reality” and give up any form of resistance.

She glanced at him coldly: “Take ’em away. You are luck has nothing to do with you. Since you have given up using your brain, I suggest you give up using your mouth as well.”

The strong man choked for a moment, and his eyes flickered, he turned his head and asked T cautiously: “This counts as half, what about the others?”

“There was one more.” T sighed: “He was also a newcomer but didn’t believe that there must be sacrifices, and insisted on attacking the ogre, but in the end…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone could guess the ending.

T sighed with vicissitudes of life: “I have survived several times in this game and if you ask me to sum up any insignificant lesson, it should be this: Stick to the rules and maximize the collective interests.

The strong man nodded in approval.

One is a shit stirrer and the other think of oneself as clever2. Rong Yi has worked in business negotiations and has come across many elites. These two before her have been performing such a poor play, the tactics used are really low-level, only the people who lost their minds in panic may be compelled.

But she won’t.

She patted the shoulder of twin-ponytailed girl : “You stay here, and don’t wander too far from the doll.” Then she turned around to leave.

After listening to T’s speech, the two ponytails had given up in despair, and only held onto the corner of her clothes, with tears in their eyes: “Sister, where are you going? I’ll be with you! Even if I want to cut my lips, I don’t want them to come!”

Rong Yi: “Ah, I’m going to find the ogre, you better not follow.”

Twin ponytails :”……?”

T shouted incomprehensibly: “Didn’t you hear what I said? The most right thing to do now is to cut off her lips!”

“Didn’t you hear what I said? Right now I’m in a hurry to see the ogre. We’ll talk about it when I get back.”

Rong Yi didn’t even turn her head back, her high heels tapped on the marble floor. Her back was straight as if walking towards the negotiating table of a ten billion dollars deal.

However, the upcoming negotiation is much more important than any ten billion dollars. It’s about her life.

Not to mention that she doesn’t believe in the “someone must be sacrificed” kind of mission rule. Even such sacrifices would be futile without addressing the issue of ogre’s anorexia.

From public to private, from emotions to logic, she has to go to the orge first!

T can’t figure out what this short-haired woman is going to do and what she thinks. The routines and psychological weaknesses of the newcomers in the past have no effect on her!

She is just a rookie who doesn’t understand anything, and just went under the BOSS’s eye with such grandiose ?! 3

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility: this woman must have a very powerful innate skill! That’s why she is so fearless.

What exactly are her skills…

He looked over to Rong Yi who walked into the dining room and licked his lips.

*

The ogre looks a bit like a dog from behind. When Rong Yi walked up to his front she found that he really….. looked like a dog.

With bloodshot red eyes, a pale face elongated into a ghostly face, bulging eyes, and a huge mouth with protruding fangs. Mucus was dripping from his long and alienated teeth. The hands on the table had an abnormal bone structure resembling monkey’s claws, and sharp nails grew out of its fingertips!

The first two levels were only intellectual puzzles, only when Rong Yi saw its face she had the feeling ” Ah, so this is a thriller”

X was beeping on her screen again

X : Don’t be afraid, Rong Rong, it just looks scary, but it’s actually quite polite.

When he saw Rong Yi, the ogre was indeed gentle with his words.

“Hello, my cook, what about today’s dinner?”

Rong Yi, empty-handed, said apologetically, “I am sorry, it’s not ready yet, I just came here to-”

The ogre immediately raised its ghostly head, opening its sharp teeth dripping with mucus, and let out an inhuman scream, sounding as if countless souls were roaring in unison: “No human flesh! No human flesh! Liar! Liar!”

The foul breath sprayed on Rong Yi’s face, she endured the stench and took a few steps back.

Rong Yi: I thought being polite includes brushing your teeth every day.

X : Wait, this should be the gameplay sequence. You didn’t come to him with the prescribed dish, so it went berserk!

X : Quickly, activate your skills! I customized it for you by hacking into the system! This is my gift for you !4

Rong Yi : … It’s too second grade5, you can avoid it.

X : Ok!

Rong Yi held back her shame, and said aloud:

“Activate! Meet the parents !”

Rong Yi couldn’t help but be curious, what kind of skills would the [ Meet the Parents ] be, tailor-made by her little boyfriend?

According to the double ponytails’ Da Vinci-painted eggs and the burly man’s see-sawing, the innate skills must be attuned to the user’s characteristics.

So what kind of person am I in his eyes? Talented? Rich? Charming?

Rong Yi guessed, in this terrifying atmosphere with the ogre roaring at her, she felt a vague hint of sweetness.

Suddenly! The ogre thumped back three steps in a row as if he saw some monster.

Then it knelt down.

Knelt down.

Rong Yi froze in place: … Turns out, I am so respected in his eyes?

“Sister-in-law!” The ogre said sadly: “The elder sister-in-law is like a mother, the game system isn’t humane at all, so I ask sister-in-law to please decide for me!”
