Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 1039. The Infinite Time-Space Hotel (79)

Meng made a great deal of effort before taking the frozen dumplings out of the refrigerator.

After taking it out, I felt something was wrong.

She stood there blankly for a while, then put the dumplings back in the refrigerator.

On the public chat, Meng Ye's inner thoughts started being refreshed like crazy again.

—It seems like you need to boil the water, similar to making noodles.

But the noodles don't have any filling!

How can I tell if it's ripe or not?

—Or we can just order takeout!
—Sigh, I guess I'll just make dumplings. Delivery is too slow.

While thinking, Meng plugged in the electric cooker and started boiling water.

While waiting for the water to boil, Meng also searched online for how to cook dumplings, but he was still confused.

—Never mind, let's cook!

—If you're unsure if it's cooked through, you can give it a try!

—Yes, that's right, you'll know once you try it.

Lin Xi and the other four, like the viewers in the live stream, were almost laughing hysterically at Meng Ye's inner monologue.

Hahaha, I absolutely love watching this kind of thing.

--Me too.

—How can someone be so adorable at such an advanced age?

—Is 50 years old old? I don't think so.

—Besides, Meng doesn't look 50 years old.

She's like a lost little animal now.

—How can someone be so old and still not know how to cook?

—Didn't you look for any clues in the previous hints?

—Found her. Meng can cook, and she cooks very well. The two of them are only a year or two apart in age, so Meng is only responsible for cleaning the room and washing the dishes.

Moreover, Meng's parents spoiled him a lot.

—Well, it's probably because she looks delicate and frail, and her health isn't good.

—Her husband must treat her very well.

She told her colleagues more than once that her husband treated her very well.

But she doesn't seem to have any feelings for her husband.

—Well, not surprising.

—Didn't she just deliberately date people she had no feelings for? It's not surprising that she ended up marrying someone she had no feelings for.

Is marriage the same as dating? Marriage is a lifelong commitment.

Most marriages aren't about finding someone you love or who loves you; most are just about settling.

—You could say it's 100% just getting by. It's just that for some people it's good, and for others it's not.

Once the water boiled, Meng took out the dumplings, counted seven, put them in the water, stirred them with chopsticks, and then, realizing something was wrong, changed to a different spoon.

After thinking for a moment, I put the lid on.

—It's bloomed again, it should be ripe by now, right?
—No, it might not be ripe yet.

—It's been opened three times already, it should be fine now.

—Or, why don't you give it a try?
Meng scooped out a dumpling with a spoon, put it on a plate to cool, and continued to stare at the dumplings in the pot.

After a while, I picked up the dumpling with my chopsticks and ate it.

—I don’t know if it’s cooked or not, otherwise, let me try another one!

So, Lin Xi and the viewers in the live stream watched in disbelief as Meng Ye tasted the dumplings one by one, a total of... seven.

Meng looked at the pot, now only filled with water, and a blank expression appeared on his face.

This time, instead of engaging in internal monologues, he began talking to himself.

"Gone? So, were those dumplings cooked, or... not cooked?"

——Hahahahahahahahaha.

—They've eaten it all, and we still don't know if it's cooked or not!
—Wow, Meng is so cute.

—Waaaaaah, I'm falling in love with her!

—Who would have thought that Meng Ye, who is so radiant at work, can't cook? —She didn't cook; she just boiled some dumplings.

—Even boiling dumplings can cause so much inner turmoil, hahahahahaha.

Forget about whether you're familiar with someone or not, just focus on being alone first!

Meng turned off the stove, thought for a moment, then ladled out half a bowl of dumpling soup and set it aside to cool.

Throughout the entire process of boiling dumplings, the light reflecting her mood and mental state was yellow.

But when the dumplings were gone, her mood turned red again.

His mental state has also turned red.

—This change is quite inexplicable.

—Nothing strange about it. She was just too focused to think about anything else, so she's in a much better mood now.

—Now that everything is alright, she remembered it again.

—She's only been gone for a day, so it's normal for her to miss people or work.

—Yes, it's about raising a cat or dog; you even develop a bond with them!
—Speaking of kittens, I remember that guy, wasn't he also known as Cat Su Meng?

—Yeah, he said it looks like his cat.

—With Meng Ye's personality, how could he possibly let others mold him like a cat?

—Actually, there's nothing wrong with cats. My cat is like a queen all the time.

—It's okay to shape a cat, the problem is that people might treat her like a pet.

—That guy isn't some domineering CEO, he probably doesn't have those kinds of thoughts.

Meng finished her soup, went upstairs, and started looking at her phone.

Lin Xi visited Meng Ye several times and found that her emotions were basically stable.

Although all three lights are red, at least there are no signs of a breakdown.

She went downstairs.

“I searched and found some hotels nearby,” Huang Jingjing said. “Let’s stay at a hotel tonight, so we can take a shower. Mengye only has one bathroom here, which isn’t very convenient.”

"Okay," Lin Xi replied.

Zhang Yutong and the others had no objections.

"We can leave the water bags and blankets here. We'll come back to stay tomorrow."

The five people talked and walked outside.

The city is beautiful at night, brightly lit.

Lin Xi and the others arrived at the hotel entrance and looked up.

"Infinite Time and Space Hotel?" Gan Ning said, looking at Lin Xi.

"It wasn't called that when I searched for it," Lin Xi said, looking around.

There were no noodle shops, nor any other familiar stores or streets.

“It seems there’s more than one Infinite Time Hotel,” Huang Jingjing said.

"It's tailor-made for players, so they can have as many as they want," Gan Ning complained.

“It’s also possible that it was tailor-made for Meng Ye.” Zhang Xuesong said, frowning.

— Zhang Xuesong suddenly realized that Meng was just an NPC in the game.
—If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten.

—Damn, this NPC is so pitiful. Every time a player enters the game, she has to go through the same pain she went through.

—Not necessarily, the plot is different every time.

—This dungeon can definitely be cleared by everyone. Once everyone has cleared it, it will be closed.

—But it may also appear in other districts.

—I hope it doesn't happen again. I don't want to see Meng Ye sad and upset anymore.

Me too.

—Can't you guys tell the difference between games and reality?

—Life in a game is also real life.

Lin Xi and the others went inside, and it was still an automatic card dispensing system.

"Which floor are we going to?" Zhang Yutong asked.

"Whatever," Lin Xi said. "We'll go to whichever floor we're randomly assigned to."
