“Yes, don’t just watch us eat. We can’t enjoy all this delicious food by ourselves,” Shen Ying chimed in.

He Qi suddenly said, "You know what? Our colleague Xiao Li actually fell asleep during a meeting and was snoring so loudly! Everyone was shocked and thought there was some kind of construction going on somewhere!"

Shen Ying laughed from the side, "No way, that's so exaggerated! But I bet your boss's face has turned green!"

"Watch my performance!" Then, He Qi widened her eyes, raised her eyebrows high, and made her eyes look big and round, as if she had seen something incredible.

Her mouth opened slightly, forming an "O" shape, and her jaw almost dropped to the ground. Then, her face quickly turned red, as if it had been roasted by fire, and the veins on her neck bulged slightly, as if she was about to roar out in anger at any moment.

She waved her hands in the air as if trying to grab something, her whole body trembling slightly. Her exaggerated and comical imitation perfectly captured the boss's shock and anger when Xiao Li fell asleep and started snoring.

Shen Ying was laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight. She was holding her stomach with one hand and wiping away tears of laughter with the other, while constantly exclaiming, "Oh my, this is so funny, so funny, hahahaha!"

He Qi couldn't help but laugh too. She rubbed her stomach as she laughed, her body slightly arched, and she kept muttering, "Oh no, I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts from laughing so much, oh my god, this is killing me, hahahaha."

The neighbors sat quietly, their eyes following them the whole time, a smile on their lips, as if watching a wonderful performance.

He Qi continued, "Hey, isn't it strange? I had a dream last night that I was in a room full of mirrors and I couldn't find the exit." She then looked at Shen Ying, waiting for her response.

At this moment, the neighbor, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly whispered, "Maybe that's not a dream, but a parallel universe version of you calling for help."

He Qi and Shen Ying were stunned for a moment. After exchanging a glance, they burst into laughter at the same time, laughing so hard they were doubled over.

He Qi pointed at her neighbor: "Haha, you're hilarious! You're a hidden genius with a brilliant mind!"

Shen Ying nodded with a smile: "Yes, this idea is so novel, how come I didn't think of it?"

[Game Title: The Sealed Blade]

[Game Role: Archer]

[Game Introduction: In a faraway land, Princess Alicia can never forget the horrific scene from her childhood. The powerful demon, the Shadow Abyss, attacks, plunging the country into disaster. Her mother, in protecting her and her brother Adrian, is tragically killed by the demon. Fortunately, the hero Aldrin appears and seals the demon, but leaves behind a prophecy that the demon will reappear thirty years later.]

As Alicia grew up, she devoted herself to studying monsters, discovering that many of them were kind, adorable, and friendly towards humans. But her brother changed; he formed a special force that ruthlessly slaughtered all kinds of monsters. Alicia was heartbroken, yet powerless to stop it.

By chance, Alicia encounters the mysterious Leonard, who is investigating a mysterious incident. Together, they uncover a scheme to secretly gather power. As more clues emerge, a shocking truth comes to light—the mastermind is none other than her brother. It turns out that her brother wanted to awaken the Shadow Demon's remains ahead of schedule. He systematically hunted monsters to gain power and forge powerful weapons, all in an effort to completely destroy the monster that killed their mother.

Alicia and Leonard try to persuade their brother, but this leads to a fierce conflict. The brother, determined to do as he pleases, awakens the Shadowfiend. The Shadowfiend wreaks havoc, plunging the world into crisis. The prince battles the Shadowfiend but is unable to withstand its power. Alicia and Leonard put aside their differences and join the prince in fighting the monster. However, the prince is mortally wounded in the battle and ultimately dies.

Just as the Shadow Demon was about to cause even greater destruction, Aldrin, the hero who had once sealed it away, appeared. With Aldrin's help, Alicia and Leonard fought with all their might and sealed the demon away once more. After the great battle, the world returned to peace. Alicia and Leonard, carrying complex feelings for the prince, shouldered the responsibility of protecting the world's balance and preventing similar tragedies from happening again. They knew that hatred should not blind them, and that every life had its own meaning.

[Game Duration: 30 days]

[Game Mission: Survive for thirty days, successfully approach the prince, stay by his side until the game ends, and help the protagonist seal the demon Shadow Abyss. Failure to complete the mission will result in the player's elimination.]

Shen Ying took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "What kind of lousy system is this! I'm just a regular office worker with a 9-to-5 job, how am I supposed to fight monsters? You might as well just kill me, why bother issuing missions at all!" She roared inwardly, her eyes fixed on the sky, as if the system she hated so much was right there.

Shen Ying lay sprawled on the grass, staring blankly at the blue sky and white clouds, her mind a jumbled mess. "How am I supposed to find the prince? And if I do, what excuse should I use to stay by his side? I can't just say 'I like you,' can I? He'd think I'm crazy." She tugged at the grass beside her in frustration.

Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted ahead. "Huh? What's going on?" she wondered, getting up and jogging over. When she saw the astonishing scene, she couldn't help but gasp.

A group of people were seen fighting against a terrifying, enormous monster. The monster was baring its fangs and claws, and each attack was like a tidal wave. The people looked disheveled, and the situation was extremely dire.

"What should I do? Should I help? But can I do it?" Shen Ying was struggling internally, but her body reacted faster than her mind, and she had already drawn her bow and shot an arrow.

An arrow imbued with fiery magic flew out like a dazzling flame, striking the monster precisely in the head. The monster roared in agony, and everyone around was stunned, including Shen Ying herself.

"How did I suddenly start moving on my own? When did I acquire this archery skill?" Her heart raced, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind. "Could it be that I inherited the original owner's skill attributes? Is this my cheat code? Haha, if that's the case, that would be amazing!"

The arrow remained embedded in the monster's head, flames still burning, its fletching trembling slightly as if proudly displaying its victory. The air seemed to freeze briefly.

The humans opposite gripped their weapons tightly, their bodies taut like fully drawn bowstrings, ready for battle. Their eyes, sharp as hawks, held a mixture of wariness and surprise, fixed intently on the terrifying monster before them. Several of them had furrowed brows, large beads of sweat sliding down their faces, but they paid no heed to wipe them away.

A man with deep-set eyes glanced quickly at Shen Ying, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, as if wondering about the background of this girl who had suddenly appeared and attacked the monster. Meanwhile, many others seemed rooted to the spot, their eyes glued to the monster opposite them, not daring to relax for a moment, fearing that in the blink of an eye, the monster would sweep in like a whirlwind and devour them.

Suddenly, the monster turned its head, its sharp gaze fixed on Shen Ying. Those eyes were like two tangible, cold beams of light, piercing straight into her heart. Shen Ying's heart clenched. "Oh no, it's targeting me!" Fear instantly spread through her.

With a roar, the demon abandoned the humans and charged straight at Shen Ying.
