The game invaded, and I became the uncle of someone else in another world!

Zhong Bai hit the nail on the head.

Yan Ling immediately joined the conversation, saying, "Uncle, you still say you don't have any female companions in that other world?"

Zhou Wan glared at the two of them, annoyed. "This isn't tsundere at all. Tsundere is clearly Asuka's type, okay? Shinku's behavior is just panic after being exposed."

Zhou Wan believes she knows how to be aloof and proud, just look at Asuka!

You need that kind of expression when you see someone you like, like seeing a rotten salted fish—you clearly like them terribly inside, but you don't want to show it on your face at all.

Looking at Shinku again, it's impossible for her to like him on their first meeting. Her flustered reaction is clearly that of someone whose lie has been exposed.

It's just like Zhou Wan's reaction when she was caught lying.

Zhong Bai and Yan Ling exchanged a glance, "Oh~"

Zhong Bai quietly approached Yan Ling and whispered, "Senior sister, is Master a bit...?" As he spoke, he held up one finger and then tried to bend it, but didn't actually bend it.

Yan Ling immediately understood and nodded, "I think so too."

"You two, do you really think I can't hear you?"

"Hehe." x2

He heard Zhou Wan's earlier remarks, but he didn't understand Zhong Bai's gesture. Was it some kind of young person's hobby?

Or is it some latest trending meme?

My 20-year journey through time is really no different from spending 20 years in prison; I'm a bit out of touch with the outside world.

[Blushing, she continued, "I just don't have much experience with this type of phenomenon, and this background is unfamiliar to me."]

【"Um?"】

"I was admitted to university without taking the college entrance exam."

【"..."】

[Why does this woman seem to be showing off!]

At this point, Zhou Wan was no longer a novice who knew nothing about the other world. This kind of college entrance examination system for players wasn't available everywhere. After all, the place he transmigrated to was called the MMO Continent, and its actual area was much larger than Earth. Moreover, he had heard that there were other continents outside the MMO Continent, and it was normal for their customs to be different. However, according to the information Zhou Wan had gathered, those who could be recommended for admission were basically geniuses who had completed more than 9000 games before the college entrance examination!

"Hehe." Shinku scratched her head. "If it were a combat-related anomaly, I could definitely carry you, but for this kind of anomaly that doesn't involve combat, I really can't help you."

Hearing this, Zhou Wan stroked her chin. "I have no experience with these kinds of anomalies, but I've heard others say that for scene-based anomalies like this, you should be able to leave the anomaly as the story unfolds. As for how to contain such anomalies, I don't know."

"Follow the plot development? So this scene is like 100 days until the college entrance exam. Can we just play the game here step by step and clear the level?"

"That's my initial guess." Zhou Wan wasn't sure what to do either, so the two went back to the classroom together.

Most of the students in the classroom were lying down playing games, but three of them weren't in their game pods; instead, they were standing on the balcony chatting.

Zhenhong suddenly pulled Zhou Wan away and whispered, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

"These three people weren't in this classroom before."

【"you mean?"】

"It's possible that we were among those who were pulled into the illusion after we left."

"A newcomer..." Zhou Wan muttered, then glanced at Zhen Hong.

Zhenhong also glanced at Zhou Wan, and the two locked eyes.

"Kiss~"

"Don't add random narration!"

"Okay, Uncle."

As if understanding each other's thoughts, the two straightened their clothes; they had been wearing the same school uniforms since being caught in this strange phenomenon. Then, their eyes began to glaze over, becoming lifeless.

[The two of them, just like any other students, went into the classroom, crawled into their nutrient tanks, lay down, and pretended to start playing games.]

"Wow, you guys are so sneaky, pretending to be NPCs here!"

"My uncle said that when players deal with these kinds of anomalies, they always have a professional player risk their life to pave a way out. So, those two old foxes, Zhenhong and my uncle, just by exchanging a glance, had already decided to send those three people to charge in! How sneaky."

"That's called survival wisdom."

[In the scene, Zhou Wan entered the nutrient tank and put on VR glasses, but he wasn't actually playing the game. This was a game inside an alternate reality. Aside from the possibility that playing games here might increase computing power, VR games, which blur the lines between reality and fantasy, might plunge him into an even deeper alternate reality. He dared not play, dared not play.]

He was eavesdropping on the three people's conversation.

"Damn it, why am I so unlucky? I got caught in this strange phenomenon. I'm not even high school age anymore!"

"Stop yelling. This phenomenon doesn't seem very dangerous. The three of us are all professionals, what are we afraid of?"

"Exactly, what's the point of playing games all day and then taking the college entrance exam? You might as well spend money to buy a job-change stone. You can still cultivate and reach the second or third tier of strength, without having to suffer like you do in a game."

"Exactly, professionals will be the future masters of the extraordinary world. Those old-fashioned players will eventually be swept into the dustbin of history."

"Stop bragging and let's figure out how to get out of here. This strange phenomenon restricts skill usage. Are we really going to stay here and play games like these kids, acting like good students?"

"I don't want to! I became a professional gamer back then precisely because I couldn't get into the game."

The three were chatting happily when Old Wang returned.

He glanced at the three students standing on the balcony, snorted coldly, and said, "What are you three doing? Why aren't you playing games and chatting? Get back inside the nutrient tank and start playing!"

"Hey, you old man, who are you? How dare you talk to me like that? I'll teach you a lesson!"

[Zhou Wan complained, "Are all professional players these days so stubborn? They know they can't use their skills, yet they still don't know their place."]

Sure enough, the next second, the three of them were brutally beaten by Old Wang, but they didn't die.

Old Wang dragged the three people, who were lying there like dead dogs, into the nutrient tank and personally started the game for them.

[This time, Zhou Wan and Zhen Hong waited until the other NPC students gradually got up before coming out.]

The two stood up, tacitly avoiding a direct greeting.

"Uncle, you two are so in sync!"

"..."

The two walked to the distance between the playground and the school gate before getting close to the main plot.

[Shinku: "It seems that this phenomenon should last for a short time..." Shinku rubbed her eyes before finishing her sentence.]

"What's wrong?"

Shinku shook her head. "It's nothing, probably just my imagination. I felt like I saw someone I knew."

Zhou Wan nodded. "Let's leave it at that for today. I suggest we hold off for the next few days, observe those three people's actions, and then make a plan."

"That's what I was thinking too. We'll exchange information after school every day, and pretend to be NPCs at other times."

"No objections."
