Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

Shen Ying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, follow me." So, the group followed behind Shen Ying and walked deeper into the palace.

Along the way, the surrounding environment became increasingly eerie and strange, with ghostly green lights flickering on the walls from time to time, as if countless eyes were watching them from the shadows.

Everyone gripped their weapons tightly and became more vigilant, while Shen Ying led the way with a solemn expression.

They walked slowly along the long corridor of the palace. The air around them seemed to freeze, and only the soft sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty palace.

Finally, they arrived at the depths of the palace, where a huge and magnificent door appeared before them.

Shen Ying took a deep breath and pushed open the door forcefully.

The moment the door opened, a burst of light shone forth, and Zhang Weina's familiar figure appeared in everyone's sight. He stood quietly in front of the palace throne, his posture as upright as a pine tree.

The moment Shen Ying saw Zhang Wei, her face lit up with joy—a genuine happiness. She ran towards him without thinking, her eyes fixed on him.

The people behind her, including Wang Yiyi, were completely different; they all looked wary and defensive.

Everyone was on edge, gripping their weapons even tighter, and following Shen Ying slowly and cautiously as they walked inside.

Their eyes scanned the palace, not missing any potentially dangerous corner. To them, everything here was unknown, and even with Shen Ying in front of them, they dared not relax their guard in the slightest.

Shen Ying happily said to Zhang Wei, "I'll take them..." Before she could finish speaking, a loud "thump" sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from behind her.

She hurriedly turned her head and saw that, apart from Wang Yiyi still standing, everyone else in the hall had suddenly fainted on the ground without warning, as if the power had been cut off, and their life or death was unknown. The scene made Shen Ying's heart clench.

Just as Shen Ying was filled with doubts, before she could even ask a question, she suddenly felt a sharp gust of wind blow past her.

She stared in astonishment as Zhang Wei appeared in front of Wang Yiyi in an instant, like a ghost.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Wei struck without hesitation. A flash of cold light appeared, and Wang Yiyi didn't even have time to let out a scream before blood spurted out.

At the same time, a strange light shot out from Wang Yiyi and went straight into Zhang Wei's body.

Then, Zhang Wei turned around and gave Shen Ying a bright and innocent smile.

That smile seemed particularly jarring in the blood-soaked hall, a stark contrast to the ruthless and decisive killing that had just taken place.

Shen Ying was so shocked by this sudden turn of events that she stood frozen in place, her mind completely blank.

Just then, the system's cold voice suddenly rang in her mind: "Mission complete, exit the game."

The weekend sun lazily streamed into the living room, where Shen Ying was curled up on the soft sofa, engrossed in playing a mobile game.

Her fingers tapped and swiped rapidly across the screen, her eyes fixed on the ever-changing images.

But there was one hurdle, like an insurmountable chasm, that stood before her.

No matter how many different strategies she tried, she just couldn't get past them.

Shen Ying's competitive spirit immediately kicked in. She frowned, bit her lower lip, and stubbornly struggled against this challenge.

Everything around her seemed to be automatically blocked out. The clock ticked away, but she completely lost track of time. All she could think about was how to overcome this annoying challenge, constantly figuring out the next step to successfully complete the level.

After yet another painful defeat, Shen Ying's stubbornness deflated like a punctured balloon.

She angrily slammed her fist on the sofa next to her, as if venting her frustration with the game.

Then, in a fit of pique, she threw her phone onto the sofa. The phone bounced twice on the sofa, the screen still lit up, the unfinished game scene still glaringly bright, but she really didn't want to look at it again at that moment.

Just then, the doorbell rang, its crisp sound particularly abrupt in the quiet room.

Frustrated, Shen Ying scratched her slightly messy hair and hurriedly slipped on her slippers and headed for the door.

As soon as Shen Ying opened the door, she saw her neighbor standing quietly outside.

His upright posture and quiet demeanor seemed to create a tranquil little world of his own, separate from everything around him.

He held a huge food box steadily in his hands, the box looking heavy as if it were filled with endless delicacies.

Shen Ying's stomach rumbled loudly, the sound clearly audible in the quiet hallway.

She then belatedly realized that she had been so engrossed in the game that she hadn't noticed it was lunchtime.

The growling of her stomach seemed to be urging her to hurry up and fill her stomach.

Ever since Shen Ying tasted the food her neighbor cooked, she was completely captivated by its deliciousness and almost became accustomed to this culinary delight.

Those delicacies seemed to possess a magical power, making her taste buds increasingly discerning.

She knew in her heart that she couldn't keep eating for free, so she took the initiative to ask her neighbor to pay for the meals.

The neighbor, looking bewildered, asked, "Why should I get money?"

Shen Ying was taken aback for a moment, then quickly explained, "Of course it's because you have to spend money to buy groceries and cook, and I can't just eat your food for free."

The neighbor bluntly replied, "I'm willing to give it to you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ying was speechless, thinking to herself that what she said seemed a bit ambiguous.

Finally, Shen Ying didn't care about anything else and directly stuffed the money she had prepared into her neighbor's hand, while repeatedly saying, "If you don't accept it, I'll be too embarrassed to eat there in the future. You don't want me to go hungry, do you?"

The neighbor tilted his head and thought for a moment, but in the end he obediently accepted the money.

Shen Ying and her neighbor sat down at the table and enjoyed the delicious lunch. Before long, they had a satisfying meal.

After the meal, Shen Ying sat lazily on the sofa, while her neighbor, as usual, efficiently cleared away the dishes and tidied everything up before sitting down next to her.

His gaze inadvertently fell on the screen of Shen Ying's phone, which was placed to the side. It clearly displayed the records of Shen Ying's previous failed attempts at the levels, the numbers were glaringly obvious.

He tilted his head slightly, his eyes instantly filled with curiosity, and asked, "Is this game difficult?"

He seemed completely unaware of the game's difficulty, his curiosity simply piqued by his defeats.

Shen Ying nodded helplessly, her face full of frustration, and said, "Yeah, I can't beat them no matter what, it's so annoying."

The neighbor seemed intrigued by what he heard. He picked up the phone curiously, tapped the screen lightly with his slender fingers, and somewhat awkwardly restarted the game.

Shen Ying couldn't help but smile when she saw his slightly clumsy operation. Then she turned on the TV and watched the variety shows with great interest.

After a while, Shen Ying turned her head unintentionally and what she saw made her speechless with shock.

The neighbor's skills had improved by leaps and bounds. His fingers danced across the screen with fluid grace, releasing various skills at just the right moment. His skills were top-notch, comparable to those of a professional e-sports player.

Moreover, the level that she had been unable to pass before was easily cleared by the other party. Shen Ying's eyes widened in disbelief.

She asked in astonishment, "How did you do that? Are you a genius?"

The neighbor shook his head and said slowly, "After playing it a few times, I found that there are actually some tricks to this level. Once you master them, it's not difficult."
