The system, seeing that Ming Li made no move, quickly chimed in, "Host, did you forget something?"
Ming Li raised an eyebrow. "Forget what?"
"Host, did we get too carried away? We're here to test the game, not to break it..."
Ming Li was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Wei Gelun, speaking with utmost seriousness, "The NPCs in your game aren't very good."
Wei Gelun: "..." What kind of statement is that? What do you mean 'NPCs aren't good'?
System: "..." Host, did we say something wrong?
(＃deg;Дdeg;)
"What's wrong with what I said? These NPCs are terrible, they should be replaced."
The system wiped away non-existent sweat from its forehead, feeling utterly exhausted.
"Is that the NPCs' problem? That's clearly your problem! You are the biggest bug in this game! The male lead must have water in his brain, otherwise why would he find our host to test this game? I say, this game is definitely going to fail."
Even though it thought this, the system dared not speak it. It plastered a smile on its face and said, "Uh, Host, it's okay, it's okay, you can continue..."
Ming Li's beautiful eyes narrowed dangerously, as if she had seen through all the system's thoughts. The system instantly felt a chill down its spine, as if a ghost had passed by...
"Ding! Mission complete."
A mission completion prompt sounded in Ming Li's mind. Ming Li raised an eyebrow, her gaze faintly swept over the spot where the ghost had fallen, and she turned to walk towards Wei Gelun and Han Chen. "Alright, let's go."
Wei Gelun was stunned and looked at Ming Li, asking, "What do you mean?"
"Literal meaning."
Wei Gelun understood and glanced at Ming Li.
"Big... Big Sister, where are we going now?" Han Chen asked, looking at Ming Li's back.
Ming Li looked at Han Chen as if he were an idiot and said, "What do you think?"
Han Chen met Ming Li's gaze, then thought about his bizarre mission, and suddenly felt a headache coming on. This mission was too difficult! He felt like retreating, what should he do?!
"Then you can stay here. Big Sister won't take you along anymore."
Hearing this, Han Chen felt a cool breeze blow down his neck. Instantly, his head shook like a rattle drum. "Ah! I'd better not! I'm perfectly fine staying with everyone."
"Alright, A Chen, stick close to Miss Lin," Wei Gelun said, patting Han Chen's shoulder in a comforting manner.
Han Chen nodded.
Looking at the dark stairs, Ming Li frowned and turned to Wei Gelun, asking, "What's the hint?"
"Next to the mission, there's a small red dot. Clicking on it brings up the mission hint. Ming Li's hint is the rooftop."
Wei Gelun nodded, clicked the small red dot, and said, "Rooms, treasure chests."
Ming Li nodded and stepped towards the stairs.
The pattering of footsteps echoed in the silent stairwell, sounding incredibly eerie, making one's heart tighten and nerves tense.
Han Chen swallowed, grabbed Wei Gelun, and quickly followed Ming Li's pace. "Big Sister, do you still have that strong flashlight? Can you give me one!"
Ming Li glanced at him, her tone indifferent, "Use your points to redeem it from the mall yourself."
Han Chen was stunned. He opened his game mall and then was speechless. "What?! This is so expensive!"
