I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 291, 1.21-7: The Girl Imprisoned in the Tower
“Map…map…map…map…” Mingxi stood on the shelves of the general store, scanning the goods for sale at a glance, muttering to herself.

Ming Jin stood in front of the shelf, casually picking up a can of mixed-flavor lollipops. Her lake-blue eyes glanced at the pretentious Ming Xi, and she coldly exposed her. "What map are you looking for in the snack section?"

"Huh?" Mingxi was slightly taken aback. She turned her head and looked at the various cutely packaged snacks on the shelf before realizing that she had subconsciously followed Mingjin to the snack section.

"Hahahaha," Mingxi scratched his silver hair and chuckled dryly, "I was misled by you." He had been wondering if the packaging on the shelf was too cute; it turned out to be snacks.

“This general store has a pretty complete selection; it has everything. Although I’ve never used any of these old tools before, I need to study them first,” Ming Jin said as she walked around to the tool section next door.

In interstellar space, purely manual tools are practically nonexistent; everything can be accomplished by following given instructions. Even mechs have a mental link mode. However, he prefers manual mode, because if something goes wrong, manual mode at least allows for escape, while automatic mode means certain death.

Suddenly, Mingjin stopped in her tracks. He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back, whispering, "Someone's coming."

Mingxi nodded and said nothing more.

"A swamp full of dead trees? Of all the places to go, why choose that for a date? I suspect you're out of your mind." A girl's slightly disdainful and arrogant voice came from the doorway.

"I went there because I was looking for a moonstone and heard there was one. But I encountered a group of dark inhabitants. Please help me rescue my lover!" the man said to the girl, his face pale.

"You're no good either, abandoning your lover and running away in a dangerous moment. Otherwise, how could she be the only one captured while you remained unharmed?" The girl glanced at him sideways and exposed him.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to, I was just too scared..." the man said, his head bowed and his face pale, full of remorse.

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, and you don't need to apologize to me. Go tell your lover after you've rescued her."

"Thank you, thank you..." the man said hurriedly.

"Is it an endless forest?" the girl asked thoughtfully.

Qiao Lin followed behind the girl and reminded her, "Miss, this is the Endless Swamp."

The girl touched her bangs, seemingly lost in thought. "There are swamps in the forest too, not much different, and the names are pretty much the same anyway."

"The geographical differences are quite significant," Qiao Lin said, shaking his head.

"Can you shut up, Qiao Lin?" The girl glanced at Qiao Lin with disdain.

"I'm sorry, Miss." Qiao Lin lowered his head, took a step back, and said respectfully.

The two who had overheard the entire conversation exchanged glances at each other's identical lake-blue eyes, and both saw a hint of understanding in them.

I guessed from the beginning that the girl would be a player in this instance, but I didn't expect the missions to be so different.

Their mission was to follow the instructions of a man who claimed to be the girl's father to find his daughter, but what they heard here was to help the man find his lover.

According to the tasks, they should be looking for the same person, but because the task issuers are different, the tasks are not exactly the same, so there is actually a conflict between them.

Because there is only one girl.

Mingxi gave Mingjin a look that seemed to ask, "What should we do next?" The latter shook her head, then took a pair of round, silver-rimmed glasses from the shelf in front of her and put them on. "Hey!" Mingxi said softly, frowning.

"It's alright." Ming Jin shook her head. "Don't worry, there will be a way."

At this critical juncture, anything done is likely to arouse suspicion. After all, the first time might be a coincidence, but if it happens again in the same place, it indicates a competitor.

Ming Jin was reluctant to reveal himself prematurely, because exposing his identity as a dungeon player when nothing was clear would undoubtedly be the most foolish decision. However, he didn't have much time to think about it at the moment.

After putting all the tools back on the shelf, Mingjin walked to the mirror and looked at herself with her round-framed silver glasses. She seemed to look more intelligent than before.

"Xi, do I look good in this?" Ming Jin pushed up her glasses, nudged Ming Xi's arm with her elbow, and asked.

The twins truly have a telepathic connection; even though Ming Jin didn't say anything, Ming Xi knew exactly what he was going to do in an instant.

"So-so, why the sudden urge to wear glasses? Don't you want to look exactly like me?" He rolled his eyes and said emotionlessly, his lake-blue eyes fixed on Ming Jin while his ears were carefully listening to the sounds on the other side.

Ming Jin's lips twitched slightly. Couldn't she have acted a little better? Where was the acting sense that her mother had cultivated in her since she was a child? She had forgotten everything just because she changed the 'map'.

Seeing that Ming Jin was dissatisfied, Ming Xi let out a long breath, and the next second his face showed a slightly dissatisfied expression, with a hint of sadness, as if he was angry and sad that his own brother rejected him.

Ming Jin gave him a thumbs-up, which he then slapped down, mouthing to her, "Unprofessional, get back to acting."

“Huh? It’s not that I don’t want to be exactly like you, it’s just that I’m a little sad that they only know you. Actually, I also want them to call me by my name, and to everyone else it’s Mingxi…” Mingjin lowered her head and whispered.

His tone was one of disappointment and loneliness, as if he had been forgotten and abandoned.

The twins' mother is a renowned actress, and they were trained in acting from a young age, so the two of them are actually very good at acting, even to the point of being indistinguishable from real people.

"Hey... I didn't mean to, those people were just so inconsiderate." Mingxi frowned, scratching her silver hair with slight annoyance. She couldn't help but raise her foot to kick the shelf, but then stopped herself, thinking it would be uncivilized, and silently withdrew her foot.

The three of them strolled over and saw the two of them standing in front of the mirror, talking about something.

The girl scrutinized the two with her deep brown eyes, a slight smirk playing on her lips, and said loudly in an arrogant tone, "Oh dear, what are you two doing here?"

Upon hearing the girl's voice, the two simultaneously looked up at her.

The boy with the silver-rimmed round glasses had red eyes as if he had just been crying, while the other person looked at her with hostility, seemingly disgusted that she had disturbed the two of them.

The girl paused for a moment, then said, "Did I disturb you? Please continue..."

It seems like it was a coincidence, otherwise I wouldn't have overheard their conversation.

These two brothers were acting geniuses from a young age, legendary movie stars.
