Chapter 455: Chapter 454: Infinite Stream Cannon Fodder: Lying Comes at a Price 9

Are they the monsters here? They don’t quite look like it, but there is someone familiar in there.

The monsters in the Infinite World that attack people typically lose their reason and mind, influenced by the rules. A monster with a conscious mind would be at the Commander Level. If someone like the Commissioners encountered one and angered it, none would escape.

Ah Chen was thoughtful. In the Commissioners’ memory, these two voices in conversation never appeared. The other party was an ordinary person, unable to hear them normally.

Qin Lin, sitting opposite Ah Chen, noticed Ah Chen’s gaze. Following it to the money tree, she also saw the bamboo bonsai and the cactus but didn’t notice anything unusual and quietly withdrew her gaze.

"Is there anything wrong?" Wei Yao asked instinctively. After asking, he regretted it, wanting to add that he was just asking casually but immediately shut his mouth. This couldn’t be said, in case it seemed like he was lying.

Ah Chen glanced up with a smile, allowing Wei Yao to see the mockery in her eyes, making him angry yet unable to speak.

"Little mouth." Ah Chen said seemingly out of nowhere and continued eating breakfast.

Someone present understood what it meant, knowing the next line would be: Shut it.

Coincidentally, Wei Yao, who often browsed the internet, grasped the meaning, instantly turning his face red.

"What does ’little mouth’ mean?" Bai Xingwen asked, genuinely curious, especially seeing Wei Yao’s reaction, indicating it wasn’t a particularly good term.

Wei Wenlan, in good spirits, happened to sit beside him, helping to explain. After listening, Bai Xingwen unceremoniously laughed out loud.

He had never gotten along well with Huo Jingchen, having clashed several times. However, Huo Jingchen seemed to have some luck on his side; in most cases, he found himself at a disadvantage, which of course left him dissatisfied. Yet he had to admit, luck was quite important in many things.

Before Huo Jingchen’s accident, he had already found several weaknesses in the opponent, but unfortunately, before he could exploit them, the opponent suddenly had a car accident. One such weakness was Wei Yao, considered Huo Jingchen’s right-hand man. Regarding capability, the opponent did have some; otherwise, he wouldn’t be in the same school and able to work alongside Huo Jingchen.

But in terms of intelligence, he didn’t rate highly. Not even flexible, rather stubborn, and easy to lose his head over many things. Before Huo Jingchen returned to the Huo Family, Wei Yao didn’t have it easy. He wasn’t good at social dealings, thus offending many people.

In his view, not all familiar faces in the circle were smart; many were merely exposed to these things from a young age, inherently standing in higher positions than others, seeing more, knowing more, and possessing ancestral resources. With quicker access to information, they were naturally more successful than ordinary people.

When Huo Jingchen went back to find Wei Yao, it was when Wei Yao faced setbacks in both love and career. Entering the Huo Family, with Huo Jingchen’s support, most naturally flattered him. Those who opposed him were dissatisfied with Huo Jingchen, something Huo Jingchen naturally addressed, making Wei Yao seem pivotal in the Huo Family.

Originally, he intended to exploit Wei Yao to set a trap for Huo Jingchen.

Now it’s unnecessary; he still wants to get out alive.

Bai Xingwen frowned in thought. Coming here was not just out of curiosity; there was another reason. He wasn’t some fool who would take risks due to curiosity, knowing this place might trap him. Since he came, he was confident he could get out. The elders at home had verified it, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

He stopped pondering further, glancing at the restrainedly angry Wei Yao, finding it humorous.

In a place like this, even if he didn’t intend to deliberately sabotage Huo Jingchen, with Wei Yao’s character, he might drag Huo Jingchen down. Say, drag everyone down.

After all, the rules clearly stated, if they didn’t help their teammates, the next monster attack would have double power, which wouldn’t be pleasant for anyone.

But Li Chen seemed not afraid at all.

The Li Chen before his eyes seemed somewhat different from what he previously knew.

Yet he didn’t know her well; perhaps it was another side of her.

"Why hasn’t Tan Sui come down for breakfast?" Tan Ruifeng suddenly looked around the dining table and noticed Tan Sui was absent.

He Qiaomin said, "Could she still be sulking?"

"Because of last night?" Tan Ruifeng’s face darkened, "She has the nerve, fine, she can skip breakfast, can’t be bothered with her." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Butler, go check on Tan Sui," He Qiaomin said, "She still has to go to school later. Even if she doesn’t want to eat, she can’t skip school."

Tan Ruifeng said, "I think she really doesn’t want to study anymore. If she doesn’t change by the end of the semester, she shouldn’t go anymore. Spending hundreds of thousands in tuition each year on her is a waste."

He Qiaomin wanted to say something but sighed, thinking of Tan Sui’s situation. Given Tan Sui’s condition, she really couldn’t get into college. She’s always hanging out with delinquents, so there’s no need for her to go to school anymore.

Perhaps, as Ruifeng said, Tan Sui should experience some hardship to understand life’s difficulties and appreciate the current affluent life.

She indeed is luckier than many children in this world.

Before long, the butler returned, "Sir, ma’am, the young miss is not in her room; she should have gone out early."

"Let’s eat breakfast, don’t worry about her." Tan Ruifeng said; mentioning this eldest daughter dampened his mood.

The dining room quieted down. After breakfast, Tan Rui and Tan Yao went to school, and Tan Ruifeng and He Qiaomin planned to change and go out.

In the living room, only Ah Chen and the others remained, preparing to return to their rooms.

At this moment, Ah Chen heard the voice of the little cactus boy, "Brother, this time the people are quite cautious. Half a day has passed without triggering the rules; they should be able to leave smoothly, right? This level is still too simple; paying a bit of attention lets you pass. But this avoidance-based method of passing offers no rewards."

"The people who come here just want to get out alive. This is just the beginning; they won’t stir trouble," Bai Chao, disguised as a bamboo bonsai, was stealthily watching Ah Chen’s position. Ah Chen didn’t look over but waited for him to do so, curious why he was here, seemingly quite carefree.

"Actually, cousin Tan Sui is quite pitiful. With a stream of people coming, her story repeats itself again and again, which is quite tormenting for her. This level is too easy; no one would intervene much."

"Xiao Pan, you’re a bit sentimental today; this was her choice," Bai Chao said, "Everyone who comes here made their choice; whether they stay or leave is their choice. The same applies to Tan Sui."

Ah Chen pondered, suddenly forming some conjectures about the formation of this world.

Just as the thought formed, she heard Xiao Pan say, "Actually, I never understood, brother, you clearly passed the level back then; why didn’t you leave?"
