Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Bai Mei had finished her meal long ago. Seeing that Qi and Bai Meng had no intention of drinking any more, she stood up and cleared the table.

Bai Meng ate the dumplings in the bowl, drank the rest of the wine, took two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator, said goodbye to his sister, and went out.

It's cloudy today, and the crescent moon is half hidden in the clouds. The night is not too dark, and I can see the road clearly.

"This road was newly built in the past two years, and it was paid for by the village collective."

"In fact, everyone works outside and can only come back a few times a year, but this is home after all. No matter how poor or remote it is, everyone hopes that their home will get better and better."

Walking on the relatively clean road in the village, Bai Meng seemed to be talking to Qi, but in fact he was talking to himself.

The name Yulong Village has a good meaning. Every family in Yulong Village hopes to become a dragon, but Yulong Village is just a remote village.

Bai Meng still remembers that when he was a child, whenever it rained or snowed, the roads became muddy, and a group of children carried their schoolbags and wore large raincoats and walked to school in the town.

Also, because it is close to Xuan Lake, its dam often breaks.

Whenever the rainfall increases, the town will organize a dike patrol team to report any pipe bursts and leaks immediately, otherwise once the dike breaks, the crops and homes will be destroyed.

Times are better now, but my parents told me that when they were young, they had to fill the gaps with human lives, and they might not even be able to fill them.

Looking at the peaceful and harmonious village, there are sounds of dogs barking, children crying, and untuneable singing coming from somewhere.

Bai Meng suddenly asked: "Qi, do you feel you are free?"

"That depends on what kind of freedom you mean," Qi replied.

"Haha, what about the freedom to control your own destiny?" Bai Meng looked at him.

Qi thought for a moment and said, "I feel very free now, because what I do is what I like to do."

"To take control of one's own destiny is to do what one likes to do, don't you think?"

Bai Meng looked at Qi's profile. Qi's profile was not as hard and cold as the front, but rather very gentle. So he smiled and said, "What you said makes sense. Tell me, what do you want from me? Is it related to the red invitation?"

Qi took out the invitation from his arms and handed it to Bai Meng, "Next week, there will be a blind date party within the family, in the underground city, and Grandfather hopes you can go and take a look."

"Just go and have a look. If you find someone suitable, you can try to go there. If not, just go there to make friends. Getting to know more people will also be good for Liu Yunmeng."

"Think about it yourself."

After receiving the invitation, Bai Meng opened it and glanced at it in the moonlight. It was indeed as Qi said, it was a blind date event for wealthy families, and ordinary families could not enter at all.

After closing the invitation, Bai Meng had no interest in this kind of blind date. Besides, all the attendees were young men and women from wealthy families. As a commoner, he would not be able to adapt to such an event.

However, just when he was about to refuse, the system, which had been silent for the past few days, took action.

[Host, please attend the blind date meeting on time at 7pm tomorrow and stay for at least 5 hours]

Has it started again? Bai Meng looked up at the waning moon in the sky, and Qi retreated half a step, like a killer hiding in the shadows, quiet and cold.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but in the quiet night, the sound of a cell phone ringing suddenly rang.

Bai Meng came back to his senses and took out his phone to answer the call: "Hello."

A gentle female voice came from the receiver: "Brother Meng, do you miss your sister?"

Bai Meng pursed her lips and grinned, "Of course I did. Is Sister Yang in the underground city now?"

In the guest room of the manor, Yang stood on the terrace, also looking at the waning moon in the sky, and said with a smile: "Here we are. I was planning to visit my uncle and aunt today, but because I have some social engagements, I will put it off until tomorrow."

After a pause, Yang said, "Brother Qi, I should have told you about the blind date."

"Yes, I said it." Bai Meng walked to the side of the road, picked a leaf from the willow tree and put it in his mouth.

"If you don't want to go, I'll help you push it off. Don't be embarrassed." Yang said with concern.

Her heart was warmed. Bai Meng could feel Yang's kindness. She really cared about her like her own sister.

"Go ahead, just go and have some experience, and take a look at what the young men and women from wealthy families look like." Bai Meng said in a relaxed tone.

Yang's chuckle came from the receiver, "Okay, I'll be there early tomorrow morning. After lunch, we'll go back to the dungeon together and I'll take you to dress up."

"How are your family members? Are they easy to get along with?"

Bai Meng looked back at Qi and said with a smile, "We get along well, but someone got scared at the wine table."

Qi's cold face became even colder.

"Everyone in our family is like this. After the blind date tomorrow, we'll have a good drink with uncle and aunt at home the day after tomorrow." Yang wanted to laugh when he thought of Qi's message for help.

"That's settled then. My sister is going to make crab roe buns tomorrow morning. Do you want to eat anything else?" Bai Meng asked.

Yang turned back to the room, sat on the bed and took off his shoes, then walked barefoot to the bathroom, "I'm not picky about food, anything is fine."

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower, I'm hanging up now."

"See you tomorrow."

Bai Meng hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was already past 8 o'clock in the evening. He said, "I'm almost sober now. Let's go back."

Qi nodded, turned around and walked back.

After returning home, Bai Meng locked the gate of the yard, grabbed a handful of grain from the winnowing basket and threw it on the ground. Wuhua, who was resting with his eyes closed on the wall, opened his eyes, glanced at him, and closed his eyes again.

Qi also drank a lot that night. He went out this time just to talk about the invitation letter. After he came back, he went straight back to his room to sleep.

Bai Meng wiped himself in the yard and went into the house. He saw that the dining table had been cleared, but there were four more plates on it.

A plate of fried peanuts, a plate of assorted braised meat, a plate of cut fruit, and a plate of shredded crab meat.

The TV was on, and Kong Juan and Bai Mei were watching a sad drama, each holding a cup of tea.

Bai Meng took some more snacks from the house and put them on the table, then took out all the cold beer from the refrigerator.

Bai Mei frowned: "Drink less, it's not good for your health."

"It's easier to sleep when you're drunk." After saying that, Bai Meng blew the whole bottle.

Kong Juan looked at her son worriedly, reached out and poked her daughter, signaled with her eyes, then grabbed a handful of melon seeds and went back to the house to watch TV series on her mobile phone.

Bai Mei could see that her brother was in a bad mood, but she said nothing and asked nothing. She just held a cup of hot tea and stayed by his side silently.

After drinking more than ten bottles of beer, Bai Meng still didn't feel drunk, but he felt the urge to pee, so he picked up his phone and called Sister Meng.

I met Bai Meng's sister today. Although we only chatted through video, we both had a very happy chat.

Although the information shows that Bai Meng's sister Bai Mei also has a junior high school education, her conversation and knowledge do not seem like someone of this education at all, which shows that she has not given up studying in private.

Liu Yunmeng also discovered that Bai Meng and Xia Yang were similar in some ways, but also completely different, giving people a sense of disconnection.

But no matter what, she is Bai Meng's sister. Liu Yunmeng has already made arrangements out of love for her. In the future, all of Liu's training programs will include Bai Mei's name. The rest is up to her.

Once Liu Yunmeng was happy, her subordinates felt relieved. They released them early today, and she also had the chance to go home and have dinner with her parents.

When Bai Meng answered the phone, she had just returned from her parents' house and was about to take off her clothes and take a bath.

During this phone call, Bai Meng did not avoid his sister, nor was there any need to. There were not many people in this world who he could fully trust, but his sister was definitely one of them.

"Sister Meng, Brother Five is with me." Bai Meng asked directly after the call was connected.

Liu Yunmeng's heart skipped a beat. "Xiaobai, what do you want to do? Did something happen to you?"

Bai Meng picked up a peanut from the plate and put it into his mouth. "It's okay. I want Brother Wu to buy something for me."

"Whatever it is, just tell your sister and I'll have someone send it to you." Liu Yunmeng was relieved when she heard that they were just going to buy things. She was afraid that Bai Meng would go crazy like she did that day.

"I'm out of wine at home. I want to go to town and buy a few boxes of strong liquor, but I drank alcohol at dinner and can't drive," said Bai Meng.

Liu Yunmeng knew that he could drink a lot, and when she found out that he was just going to buy some wine, she smiled and said, "Okay, leave it to me, I'll arrange everything for you right away."

Even though they were thousands of miles apart, Bai Meng could feel Liu Yunmeng's care and love for him, as well as the deep love in her words.

Bai Meng felt sad and said softly, "Sister Meng."

Liu Yunmeng: "What's wrong?"

After a moment of silence, Bai Meng said, "It's okay, I just missed you."

"I miss you too." Liu Yunmeng's cheeks were flushed and her star-like eyes were sparkling with a strange brilliance.

"Have a good rest. I'm going to hang up now."

"Ah."

After ending the call, Liu Yunmeng sent a message to Xiaowu, asking him to buy some wine, then took off his clothes and walked into the bathtub covered with flower petals.

Lying in the pool, Liu Yun dreamed about the next journey, with a happy smile on his face.
