Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chen Fei barely managed to handle Ye Fuyu, and now all the players were gathered together, except for Miao Shuangshuang’s responsibility, Xiao Zhongjing, who was still hiding far away.

Chen Fei glanced back at the wary Xiao Zhongjing, and said to Miao Shuangshuang, who had no intention of continuing to pay attention to Xiao Zhongjing, ”Are you planning to give up on this task too?”

Miao Shuangshuang rubbed the baked grains in her hand, somewhat nonchalantly saying, ”We’ll see when the time comes. If he understands the situation, I’ll take him along. If not, let him be.

This task wasn’t something I voluntarily took on; the system forced it. If I could choose, I wouldn’t have taken this task. Besides, I’m not his mom, I have no interest in babysitting. If he’s smart, he’ll live; if not, he’ll die.”

It’s not that Miao Shuangshuang is cold-hearted, but Xiao Zhongjing’s situation is too troublesome. He doesn’t even know he’s dead, so there’s no way Miao Shuangshuang can make him understand the fact that he’s already dead.

In this situation, Xiao Zhongjing could completely believe that he was drugged and then secretly transported to this place while unconscious, and now a few crazies are telling him he’s dead and part of a horror game.

For someone with a strong sense of caution, it’s completely normal not to believe such absurd claims. Miao Shuangshuang couldn’t do anything about it, so she’d have to wait until the game started and let him figure it out on his own.

Fortunately, as if knowing that all the newbie players had been appeased, the game’s notification sound finally rang out.

”The game is about to begin. In this game, Ghost Groom, a reminder: you must fulfill the Ghost Groom’s wish. The game countdown begins now, 10, 9, 8...1, countdown ends, please enter Lao Mountain Village.”

After the voice disappeared, there was no change around, but suddenly a backpack appeared next to every player out of thin air, and at the same time, a description of their role in this game appeared in everyone’s mind.

The roles of the six players this time are three pairs of young couples traveling together. Due to an unexpected encounter with the picturesque Lao Mountain Village, they decided to stay in the village for a while to enjoy the surrounding scenery.

The three couples are Miao Shuangshuang and Xiao Zhongjing, Chen Fei and Ye Fuyu, Lin Yu and Zhao Chu. Throughout this game, the identities of these six people cannot be changed.

After hearing the game prompt, the most well-received newbie player Zhao Chu was the first to reach out and grab Lin Yu’s backpack, jokingly saying, ”God, from now on, I’m your newly appointed boyfriend, please guide me well.

As your boyfriend, no matter the task, criticism, or whatnot, I’m a 24-hour perfect boyfriend, I’ll carry your bag so that you don’t tire yourself.”

Lin Yu chuckled, patted Zhao Chu’s thin shoulder, and said, ”Alright boyfriend, since you’re so considerate, this game, I’ll cover you.”

Zhao Chu immediately flicked his sleeve and performed a gesture like an ancient salute: ”Then let me thank you first.”

Chen Fei casually picked up his own backpack and said to Ye Fuyu, ”Grab your backpack, Lao Mountain Village should be that small village ahead, we’re going to have to walk for a while.”

Ye Fuyu, with a somewhat displeased expression, picked up her backpack and glanced at Lin Yu, who was empty-handed. She felt that Chen Fei, who looked more handsome, was not as gentlemanly as Zhao Chu, who looks amusing.

Miao Shuangshuang shouldered her backpack, turned back to the uncertain and suspicious Xiao Zhongjing, and said, ”I’ll give you two choices. Besides the mountain village ahead, there’s nowhere else here for accommodation.

You can either shoulder your backpack and follow us, or stay here and go wherever you wish.”

Xiao Zhongjing’s face was as pale as a ghost. He had clearly seen those backpacks appear out of thin air, right before his eyes!

If the previous game prompts could be faked, could these backpacks appearing out of thin air still be fake? And what’s more, the strange identity information that appeared in his mind was very unscientific.

Finally, Xiao Zhongjing had an unreliable speculation. Could it be that he’s really already dead?! Are all these people telling the truth?!

As his worldview was shattered, Xiao Zhongjing didn’t struggle any further, but instead silently shouldered his backpack and followed behind Miao Shuangshuang.

Of the three couples, only Lin Yu and Zhao Chu looked harmonious, with a hint of a couple’s outing feel, while the remaining two pairs were all outwardly united but internally divided.

Then the six people maintained this strange and awkward atmosphere as they headed toward Lao Mountain Village. It looked close, but it took everyone a good hour to reach the foot of the mountain.

Miao Shuangshuang, especially, felt like her feet were breaking. She couldn’t understand why this game, meant for traveling, had burdened her with attire unsuited for the trip.

Especially the high heels on her feet. Miao Shuangshuang wondered which fool would wear such shoes on a trip, wasn’t this just self-torture?

All she wanted now was to quickly get to Lao Mountain Village to see if she could find a pair of flat shoes to wear. These high heels were damn exhausting; her feet hurt so much.

Upon closer look, Lao Mountain Village turned out to be quite sizable, and the village had a single road running through it. The villagers’ houses were neatly arranged from one end to the other, totaling up to hundreds of households.

Villagers wandered to and fro, and at the village entrance stood an especially large old pagoda tree, requiring more than a dozen people to encircle, looking as if it had been there for a thousand years.

The tree’s canopy was dense, casting a large area of shadow. The leaves rustled in the breeze, and an old man with a pipe in his mouth sat under the tree smoking.

Upon seeing Miao Shuangshuang and her group, the old man raised his head, glanced briefly at the group, then resumed smoking, seemingly uninterested.

The other villagers, however, curiously stared at the newcomers without stopping.

Chen Fei took out a pack of cigarettes and approached a middle-aged man. Offering a cigarette first, he then smiled and said, ”Uncle, we are tourists traveling together.

We happened to pass by here and saw that your village’s scenery is exceptional, with lush mountains and clear waters. It lifts one’s spirits. We’d like to stay here for a while.

We were wondering if your village has any inns or guest spaces for rent. If not, anyone with an available room to let us stay would do. We’ll pay, and beyond accommodation, we’ll also pay for three meals a day.”

The middle-aged man wiped his fingers on his clothes, happily accepted the cigarette from Chen Fei but didn’t smoke it, opting to tuck it behind his ear. He pointed to the elderly man with the pipe.

”Our village is small, no inns. If you want to stay here, you’ll need to speak to the village chief first. Only with his consent can you settle in.”

While Chen Fei chatted with the villagers, Miao Shuangshuang was observing these people. She noticed that the villagers clearly wanted to keep them to earn some extra money.

That kind of natural greed that arises at the sight of money was strong in their eyes. Yet, despite this, he didn’t agree directly but referred Chen Fei to the village chief. It seems the village chief holds great authority here.
