T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 142, Section 141: A Chance Encounter with the Parents of French Fries Leads to Embarrassment

"Alas, once I log back in, I can slaughter the entire city~~~"

The first thing I said after stretching in the morning was a dangerous statement, and it wasn't even the jailer who spoke, but the bed itself. Orange Tea felt that she still knew too little about the boundaries between reality and illusion.

"Kill them all, I wonder if I'll have enough experience to level up to 20," muttered Plain Fries.

Was the immersive experience designed by French Fries meant to help her adapt to the game's pace?
Everyone is so considerate; they pretended for a whole month before revealing their true nature!
They literally, I cried to death.

Early in the morning, French Fries' phone rang.

Orange Tea, who was washing up, peeked out and glanced at the screen. For some reason, Fries was looking at his phone with a complicated expression.

"Aha, I knew Xiaofei would get up at this time. She can't change the sleep schedule she developed from playing games."

As Fries walked into the hotel corridor, he heard the voice on the other end of the phone and couldn't help but rub his temples.

"So, why did you call me so early?"

"Sigh, since Xiaofei went to university, she seems to have become more and more distant. Does she not allow us to care about her?" Now it was the mother's turn to speak.

"If that's allowed, then why are you calling me?"

Having lived with a lovey-dovey couple for a long time, French Fries has learned the skill of maintaining the rhythm of conversations and must not be led astray!
"Xiaofei, guess where we are?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fries' lazy and relaxed posture vanished instantly, and she gripped her phone tightly in a tense grip.

"You...you've come to Guangfu?"

"Hey, that's right, as expected of Xiaofei, you guessed it perfectly, we arrived last night."

Fries was sweating: "What are you doing here?!"

"Hmm, the way you're talking makes it sound like you're really against us going on a trip?" Dad said, sounding aggrieved. "Just because you're traveling in Guangzhou doesn't mean we can't come to Guangzhou too."

I don't believe a single word about French fries!
This couple, who suddenly appeared in Guangzhou at this time and called her early in the morning, are very likely to come looking for her!

God!

Is there anything more outrageous than letting them see you, letting everyone in the guild witness the saccharine couple's performance?
Don’t do this kind of thing!

and many more.

As long as the information isn't leaked, it's fine. Guangfu is so big, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Suit yourself, my friend and I are going to have dim sum. Bye."

"Oh, Xiaofei, Xiaofei~~~"

No matter what the other person says, French Fries hangs up.

The amount of sweat I produced in just a short time was comparable to exercising on a treadmill in the morning. Talking to this lovey-dovey couple is really tiring.

Today, the prison guard is taking you to a popular teahouse, a must-visit for tourists from other provinces.

Inspired by his father, the prison guard also got the hang of it and started to include some places in the itinerary that are easy for everyone to take photos of, and that relatives and friends can immediately tell that it was a trip to Guangzhou.

"This rice noodle roll is alright, but my dad said it used to taste even better. Consider this a last-minute treat, because in a few years we might not even be able to find this flavor anymore," the jailer said as he heated the cup.

"If we can't get our food, should we change the chef?" Quadruple asked.

With the private rooms full, the jailer had to lower his voice and explain to everyone in the bustling lobby.

"Changing the contractor is one reason; another is that someone is now stealing the technology and has started using prefabricated construction."

The jailer's attitude towards prefabricated construction was not critical; he simply held the view that if you used prefabricated construction, he needed to know.

Some people go to teahouses to pay for the craftsmanship.

You can certainly explain that the taste difference is not significant, but I also have the right to reassess the extra cost of paying for the artisan's work.

When ordering, Jiang Heyi noticed that the fries were behaving strangely. She usually doesn't put her head close to the table when she's on her phone.

"Are you feeling unwell?" he asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I just had a bit of a stiff neck yesterday," Fries replied after a long pause.

Uh... this isn't the position for a stiff neck, is it?
strange.

As the dishes were gradually served, everyone started to eat. Even though he usually sat up straight, Fries maintained a stiff, hunched-over posture while eating.

I clearly love shrimp dumplings, but this time I was too lazy to turn the plate and pick them up.

Jiang Heyi was really puzzled; today's fries were nothing like his usual ones. "Aren't you eating shrimp dumplings?"

"Hmm..." The voice was very soft.

Jiang Heyi brought over a new pair of chopsticks, picked up a shrimp dumpling, dipped it in vinegar, placed it in a special small dish, and handed it to her.

Unable to resist the temptation, I took a bite of the fries...

Her subconscious action made her immediately regret it.

She grabbed Jiang Heyi's clothes under the table and tugged at them.

Jiang Heyi deliberately dropped the chopsticks on the ground and bent down to pick them up.

French Fries' face was flushed, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.

"My parents are here!" she said urgently.

"what?"

Jiang Heyi was stunned. So what if they're here? Wouldn't it be nice to invite them over to eat together?
They had eaten with their elders on the first day, it's not a big deal.

"Just don't let them find me!"

"You have a bad relationship with your family?"

"They're just too close!"

After a swift exchange, Jiang Heyi sat up straight.

Based on the information provided by the fries, he saw a man and a woman at a table to his right.

The couple is so young that it's hard to believe they're married and have a child in college.

The two were taking pictures of the food on the table with their camera, looking very excited and happy throughout.

The teahouse was crowded with people coming and going. The other person's attention was not on the food at all. It seemed that the fries were being a bit suspicious. Even if she were sitting normally, it would be difficult to notice.

"Speaking of which, don't we still have a pot of tea that hasn't been served yet?" Zhong Zemo ate a few chicken feet, intending to cleanse his palate.

"No, it wasn't served yet. There were too many people, so we had to hurry them up. That's my own tea, and it's very expensive."

The jailer glanced at the receipt and was about to get up when Orange Tea took the initiative: "I'll go. I was thinking of adding a basket of char siu bao."

"Ugh, their char siu bao is no good... I'll take you to a better one tomorrow."

"Do you still want shrimp dumplings?" Jiang Heyi asked the fries.

"Please dip it in vinegar for me."

Jiang Heyi was quite curious about the fries' reaction; what could happen even if they were discovered?

"Sigh, it seems like Orange Tea is being bothered by some strange person."

He stood up from under the covers and stared intently into the distance.

Jiang Heyi was chewing on a rib when he took a closer look and almost spat it out.

Fries' parents were excitedly talking to Orange Tea about something, then Orange Tea pointed...

……

……

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect to meet everyone here. Thank you all for taking care of my Xiaofei."

"Oh dear, Xiaofei is still so shy. She doesn't say a word when she sees her parents and even sits so far away."

Following the lead of Orange Tea, Liu Jinhong and Lu Xinxin, who were described as a cloying couple by French Fries, joined the table at the boundary between reality and illusion.

She couldn't continue playing her little game with her head down.

Everyone suddenly realized why Fries was acting strangely today. Compared to the somewhat imposing Yuan Huanye, Fries' parents were very kind, their smiles never fading, and they were always cheerful.

From a distance, she looks very young; up close... she looks even younger.

Especially the mother of the fries, Lu Xinxin, gives people the feeling that the fries will grow up to look like this in a few years.

"I've only seen it on short videos, but you can recognize it at a glance in person? That's amazing," exclaimed the woman in bed.

"Sigh, who can blame us when the Tea Goddess is so cute and easily recognizable?" Lu Xinxin chuckled. "Right, Xiaofei?"

French fries were devouring shrimp dumplings without glancing at the two people opposite them.

"Brother jailer, we are your fans."

Liu Jinhong's words made the jailer break out in a sweat. How could he possibly have fans after his performance in the guild wars?

"We've seen plenty of your antics outside of guild wars."

That explains it, but... his fun is either related to the prison guard, or to erotic pictures, and finally to his socially awkward interactions.

The fries' parents seemed...indifferent?
If my parents knew what I was doing online, they'd probably be furious.

"Tea Master, can you help me draw a card? I haven't been getting any good cards in several mobile games lately."

Lu Xinxin handed her phone to Orange Tea.

Peeking out from under the covers, the phone's home screen was truly a collection of amazing devices.

There's a Heroic Spirits Battle Royale game on my phone, a game where students have their own aura, a game where you go to jail in the Ancient Battlefield of Stars, and an idol raising game...

Auntie, how many livers do you have?

"Mom, you should handle the card drawing yourself. Don't waste Orange Tea's luck!" French Fries sneered.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, it's all just superstition anyway." Orange Tea took the phone and started operating it.

Liu Jinhong's gaze fell on Jiang Heyi.

"Will potatoes grow?"

"Oh, yes." Jiang Heyi was a little nervous.

If the prison guard's father, Yuan Huanye, is a relatively typical parent, then the fries' parents are quite unconventional parents; to put it bluntly... they don't really seem like parents.

If you insist that they are someone who has traveled back to the boundary between reality and illusion after growing up, Jiang Heyi would believe it.

"I'm actually a fan of yours; I've watched all the recordings of your guild wars."

"Ah...Is that so?"

Jiang Heyi didn't know how to reply for a moment.

"Don't believe him. He used to be a fan of Bottled Water Shinra, but he switched to being a fan of yours after Bottled Water lost. He's a die-hard champion fan." Fries looked at the other person with disdain.

Jiang Heyi was genuinely sweating. There was no need to say such things; how was he supposed to respond?
"Wow, Tea Master, thank you, two rainbows!"

It seems like they really shipped the goods over there.

"Mom, keep your voice down!" Fries gritted his teeth.

"Oh, okay, okay."

Lu Xinxin hugged her phone and retreated to her spot, happily playing with it.

The mother was being lectured by her daughter... The boundary between reality and illusion is making everyone a little dizzy.

"Um, potatoes grow, so do you think I could add a boundary between the real and virtual worlds?"

what?
"I'm a qualified player, and I've already reached level 10 and completed my class specialization. I chose the Magic Warrior class just like you!"

"No, I refuse."

French Fries glared at his dad, then quickly turned to stare at Jiang Heyi, his meaning clear...

Join my side now!

"Um, I'm sorry, although I'm the president, French Fries objected, so I apologize, Uncle."

Hearing Jiang Heyi say that, French Fries breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing this, the couple exchanged glances left and right in unison.

Then a strange, thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

It's as if it's saying, "I understand."

Fries was terrified that his parents would say something strange again, so he broke out in a cold sweat and prepared to keep a close watch on them.

Surprisingly, their conversation gradually became more normal.

Like any ordinary parent, they asked everyone if they had a good time on the trip, how their gaming pace was, and how well their own child performed in the game...

The sudden seriousness made even the fries feel a bit off.

After showing off several tea and snacks, Lu Xinxin offered to leave first and pay the bill for everyone.

Even though the jailer said he didn't need it, it didn't stop them from pulling out their money.

The transition was somewhat abrupt, and everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion looked at each other in bewilderment.

French Fries let out a long sigh and slumped down, completely exhausted.

"The parents of the fries are quite interesting," the jailer remarked.

"You don't have to consider my feelings, just speak your mind." Fries covered his forehead.

The woman in the blanket shook her head: "I really think so. It's interesting, she understands the memes, and her interests in eating, drinking, and having fun are similar to yours. It's really cool."

"You'll understand how formidable they are once you live there long enough..."

French fries just sighed.

My parents got married very early; they were still in school when she was born.

Both families were relatively well-off, and they knew each other well. The two were childhood sweethearts, so everything that followed was a natural progression.

People often say that childhood sweethearts, who are too familiar with each other, find it difficult to stay together.

This is why, in various literary works, the "sudden arrival" type of character often manages to utterly defeat their childhood sweetheart.

But Mom and Dad are different. From childhood to adulthood, the two of them are like glued together, inseparable.

Her parents shared the silly things they did when they were young, which could be turned into a thousand and one nights... Yes, this was her bedtime reading in her childhood, listening to her nagging parents recount their sweet daily life.

At the time, I didn't think much of it, but now I just think of it as torture.

As non-only children, they were never burdened with high expectations by their families; they were simply expected to live their own lives well.

French Fries spent most of his childhood at his grandparents' and maternal grandparents' homes.

This is proof that she is very favored.

On the other hand... her unreliable parents were inseparable, always clinging to each other in a sweet and loving way, regardless of the occasion, which made the elders very worried that they were so focused on their own affection that they forgot to feed the fries properly...

As I grew older and got used to all the silly things this couple did, at home, French fries became like their guardian.

Anyway, my parents don't act like parents at all; they always respond to her nagging and scolding like children...

The couple returned, and the fries, recalling the past, were startled.

"Guild Leader Potato, if I don't join a guild, could you give me a friend slot?"

Jiang Heyi glanced at the fries' expression and nodded.

French Fries emphasized: "I'll give you a friend slot, but you're not allowed to harass me or ask me random questions. If you can't do that, I'll delete you immediately."

Lu Xinxin smiled enigmatically: "Xiao Fei, you're so nosy. Do you even care about things like potatoes?"

French fries, shut up right now.

She had a very bad feeling, a warning radar that she had developed after years of living with the silly, lovey-dovey couple.

As soon as you respond, the other party will make some shocking remarks!
