Xiao La can't remember his relatives and friends. Whenever he wants to recall the past, he only thinks of a bunch of Labradors.

Now he has nowhere to go. After Jiang Ying asked him to be a shop assistant, he agreed without much hesitation.

Jiang Ying asked Qin Huo to read fairy tale books at the cash register, and she brought Xiao La to familiarize herself with the environment of the store.

Use the knowledge just learned from the boss two days ago to teach Xiao La how to be a qualified shop assistant.

When Xiao La finished studying, he handed the work clothes to him.

"You are tall and strong, so you should be good at fighting. I put a knife under the cash register. If you encounter any troublesome customers, you can use the knife to threaten them and bring them into the lounge."

"By the way, those who are not easy to mess with at first glance, don't conflict with them. According to the rules in the town, waiters who are reported by customers will be executed by justice."

Xiao La nodded and wrote down his words.

Jiang Ying gave him the praise form, asked him to meet good talkers, and helped him get two praises.

While he was talking, Xiao La kept looking at him with extremely complicated eyes.

When the two were handing over the work clothes, Jiang Ying accidentally touched the back of Xiao La's hand with her fingertips, and the man blushed a little.

Xiao La's reaction reminded Jiang Ying of her colleagues who had pursued him.

He treats them like brothers and they want him to be his wife.

Jiang Ying felt uncomfortable being watched by Xiao La.

Qin Huo walked by his feet casually, was hugged by him, and pointed out: "Xiao Qin, do you miss your mother?"

During this period of time, Qin Huo got used to acting as a child, subconsciously hugged his neck, and echoed in a childish voice: "I think about it."

Xiao La's expression froze for a moment, "You are father and son, why is this child's surname is Qin and not Jiang?"

Jiang Ying sighed: "Follow your mother's surname, and my wife's surname is Qin."

"He seems to have been calling you brother."

"I'm not used to living without her, so I let my child call me that on purpose."

"I heard from the boss that your wife cheated on you?"

Jiang Ying forced a trace of sadness, "Yes, but I still love her very much."

Xiao La's expression became more complicated.

Fortunately, his feelings for Jiang Ying are not so strong. Compared with love, he is more grateful to his savior.

Xiao La quickly came out of his disappointment. He stood at the door of the convenience store and watched the new boss leave with his son.

————

Jiang Ying doesn't have a wife, what he's talking about is the character design arranged for him by the game.

He has been thinking about why the dungeon arranged for him to be a single father whose wife cheated on him and brought up the children alone.

Just because he chose Qin Huo as his new assistant before entering the game?

It seems reasonable to change it to his wife dying of illness or working in a different place. Why did he deliberately choose to cheat.

Jiang Ying felt that her identity in the game should have a background story that could be discovered.

And this story will probably be related to his life and death.

The clerk of the cold drink shop played by "50% Off Special" was reported by the female guest's husband and executed by justice on the first day of the game.

If after he entered the game, he could have discovered the female guests who usually come earlier, but they suddenly didn't come these days.

He said there would be no chance of escaping justice.

'50% off special' just entered the game, working honestly and chatting happily.

He did nothing wrong, and what led to his death was the hidden character story behind the soda shop clerk.

In "I'm My Life", he played a character with amnesia, and his wife deliberately designed to kill him by wanting him to be fired from the company.

Before he entered the game, the wife npc was preparing for the plan.

If he didn't exchange information with Jiang Ying and continued to live in a daze, he would be killed by his wife sooner or later.

The wife murdered secretly, this is the hidden story behind the role played by "I Order Me".

It is now the third day of the game, and Jiang Ying still doesn't know what his character has been through before.

However, some information can be analyzed from the conversation between the convenience store owner and him when they met on the first day.

This character is not a resident of the town.

After his wife cheated, he chose to take his children and move to the small town for some reason.

As for the reason, he didn't tell the boss before, and the boss didn't know.

Perhaps bewildered by the calm and peaceful appearance of the town, he chose to stay away from the sad place and take his children to enjoy the peaceful town life.

Or maybe something happened outside of town and he had to move in hastily.

Jiang Ying is more inclined to the latter conjecture.

His character doesn't have a house of his own in town, and he doesn't even have time to rent one.

It doesn't matter if he is a single man, he can live in a hotel or on the street.

But he also took a four-year-old child with him.

There are only two explanations for this abnormal phenomenon.

First, the single father is poor and unable to rent a house, so he can only live on the street with his children.

Two, he couldn't stay outside for some reason and had to get into town as quickly as possible.

The incident happened suddenly and the situation was urgent. He didn't have time to prepare, and he didn't have time to settle down slowly.

Jiang Ying sighed silently.

He felt that his role was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and it probably caused him a lot of trouble.

Now the question is, where is a single dad going to get the backstory when he has no family or friends in town?

Jiang Ying put "unlocking character stories" on the schedule.

He put the boy on the ground, took his hand and took a taxi on the side of the road.

While waiting for the bus, he lowered his head to discuss with the boy: "Xiao Qin, the game has arranged for us to be father and son. In order to avoid trouble, you can call me dad for now, and change back to brother after leaving the dungeon, okay?"

Qin Huo knew that such a day would come sooner or later.

He thought for two seconds and nodded slightly.

Jiang Ying's smile became softer, and he reached out to rub the boy's head.

Qin Huo was used to being rubbed by him, subconsciously moved his head to wait for him to touch.

He didn't realize what he had just done until he was touched a few times by the man.

Jiang Ying asked him to call Dad a few times first, so as not to call him wrong in a while.

Qin Huo struggled for a while, took his hand and whispered, "Father."

Listening to the child's milky voice, Jiang Ying covered her chest to suppress the surging fatherly love.

Sure enough, other people's children are cute.

————

The taxi driver is a taciturn middle-aged man. On the way to the residence of 'I am my life', he drove with his head down all the way.

Jiang Ying was worried that the child would get motion sickness, so she prescribed a pack of soft candies for him.

Qin Huo sat beside him and ate sweets quietly, while Jiang Ying propped her cheeks and looked out the window.

Several passers-by on the street were walking their dogs, and men and women in tights were lying on the ground, crawling like dogs.

Their ears and tails vary in color.

In the eyes of the townspeople, some of them are huskies and some are Samoyeds, but they are not human beings.

Looking at those tortured NPCs with complicated eyes, Jiang Ying's thoughts gradually drifted away.

Last night he put the boss in the refrigerator for storage, and no police came to arrest him until noon today.

It explained that the mayor and the people hiding behind did not intend to move him immediately.

Things seemed to be going in a good direction, but Jiang Ying was even more disturbed.

When facing other players, the NPCs in the game will kill them whenever they find an opportunity, and they will never show mercy.

But obviously he has caught him, why don't those npcs come to catch him?

Could it be because many people like him.

Jiang Ying rubbed Qin Huo's head casually, sorting out the clues in her mind.

The level of science and technology in the small town is not well-developed, and there are not too high-tech products in life.

But the small town's pet breeding base can produce mechanical bugs that can move freely, and human head strings with intelligent robots hidden in them.

At the same time, there are human monsters with cat heads and people with dog ears and tails in the town. These are all produced by the breeding base.

There are indications that the technological and biological level of the pet breeding base is far higher than that of this small town.

Moreover, the pets produced by the breeding base are distorted one by one.

Until this morning, Jiang Ying felt that the pet base was probably catering to the aesthetics of the townspeople.

But after he covered the dog's ears and tail for Xiao La, Xiao La immediately changed from a dog to a human in the eyes of the townspeople.

This incident completely changed Jiang Ying's view.

The pet base puts dog ears on people, and the townspeople will think it's a dog.Put a cat's head on someone, and they think it's a cat.

After the townspeople brought this special pet home, they really raised them as cats and dogs.

There is no habit of treating people as animals, nor the idea of enslaving the same kind.

They just lose the ability to distinguish between people and animals, and they have no requirements for the appearance of pets.

That being the case, why does the pet breeding base produce monsters?

Jiang Ying recalled the various monsters she encountered in the past three days.

A string of human heads combined with human heads and machines, a human with dog ears and a tail, and a cat head pressed on a human body.

A conjecture came to mind, Jiang Ying pursed her thin lips and frowned slightly angrily.

Where is the breeding base? It is clearly a biological laboratory.

The base is using townspeople for research, trying to create orcs and cyborgs.

The question now is, which one appeared first in the town, the curse or the base.

It was the town that was cursed first, and the breeding base thought it would be profitable, so they chose to do experiments here.

Or the town was originally peaceful, but in order to facilitate research, the base somehow drove the townspeople into madness and turned it into a hell on earth.

In any case, the pet breeding base touches on the town's deepest secrets.

Jiang Ying didn't want to passively wait for death, so she decided to venture in and investigate.

After finally figuring out a line, Jiang Ying fell into deep thought again.

Qin Huo and Xiao La would sense that someone was looking at them, but he couldn't.

The player who played the role of a teacher "I love physics" once complained to "I'm fated".

Said that he was about to be tormented crazy by the omnipresent gaze, but "I'm so fated" didn't feel anything.

Why is there such a difference, and in what respect is he inferior to them?

Moreover, Jiang Ying took time out this morning to search the convenience store owner's house carefully, but did not find the camera.

How did those people spy on him?

Are they ghosts or people?

Or are they some kind of special or higher-level existence.

Like aliens?

There are still too many secrets in the town that have not been uncovered, and Jiang Ying rubbed her brows irritably.

The moment he lowered his head, he saw a small white hand sneaking into his pocket.Grab a bar of chocolate and get ready to sneak it out.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ying's originally anxious mood improved inexplicably.

Although the snacks in the pocket were all for the boy, the boy had just finished eating the fudge and couldn't eat so much in one go.

Jiang Ying broke away from negative emotions.

He grabbed the boy's hand and flicked his forehead, "Let me catch you, the chocolate thief!"

Qin Huo's face became hot from his coaxing tone.

He paused for a few seconds and looked up at the man's expression.

After being made such a fuss by him, Jiang Ying's brows, which had been tightly furrowed since she got in the car, now unknowingly let go.The irritability between the brows dissipated, and a relaxed smile appeared.

Qin Huo didn't withdraw his hand, he rubbed his fingers against Jiang Ying's palm, tilted his head and asked him in a low voice, "Are you feeling better?"

Jiang Ying was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Qin Huo was deliberately making him happy just now.

The four eyes met, and the boy showed a shy smile as usual: "You don't have to worry."

Glancing at the driver in the front row from the corner of the eye, Qin Huo blushed and said uncomfortably when he realized that someone was present, "I will protect you...Dad, Dad."

Jiang Ying's heart beat violently, he took a deep breath, bent down and hugged the boy.

The child is so obedient and cute.

Even if he gave birth to a child by himself, he might not be able to give birth to such a well-behaved child.

It doesn't matter if Qin Huo is not a golden thigh.

It's not that Jiang Ying can't afford to support him, he can always be his father.
