Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 87 The Taste of Freedom: Are You Allowed to Leave?

Chapter 87 The Taste of Freedom: Are You Allowed to Leave?
Several peasants immediately huffed and puffed as they carried tables, chairs, and benches onto the stage.

One of the lackeys squatted on the ground, obsequiously rolled up his sleeve, and wiped the dust off the bench.

Only after confirming that there was no dust did they place the stool behind Liu Yunfei.

Immediately afterwards, someone else came up with a tray.

Just like in ancient banquets, eunuchs served dishes to the emperor.

Braised pork belly, poached chicken, steamed fish...

The rich aroma of meat mixed with the umami of the sauce seemed to have grown legs and crawled into everyone's nostrils.

Wang Zixu had just finished a big meal and didn't feel anything.

But others can't.

Most of the people present hadn't seen meat in a long time.

It's so bland it's almost unbearable.

The aroma of meat wafting over made the stomachs of many dog owners rumble uncontrollably.

He could only swallow his saliva and lick his lips frantically, his eyes fixed on the food on the table.

So close, seemingly within reach, yet utterly immobile.

That feeling of helplessness weighed heavily on my heart, making me want to cry in despair.

Liu Yunfei was flattered and overwhelmed by the scene, and seemed at a loss for what to do.

Ah Long grabbed his shoulder, pressed him down in front of the table, and casually shoved a pair of chopsticks into his hands:

"eat!"

"You can leave after you finish eating!"

Liu Yunfei looked around, then looked down at the food spread across the table, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

It was the first time in my life that I had been watching so many people eat, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

He tentatively picked up a piece of meat, carefully put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Ah Long's eyes widened, and he urged impatiently:

"Are you going to eat or not?"

"You're whining like a woman!"

"If you're not going to eat, we'll take the food away and make you get out of here on an empty stomach!"

Liu Yunfei was startled and quickly waved his hand:
"Eat, I'll eat!"

Having said that, he dared not hesitate for a moment longer.

What started as cautiousness turned into a frenzied, wolfing-down feast.

Upon seeing this, Ah Long burst into laughter:
"This is right!"

"A good meal makes for a good journey."

[Seriously, all these people are just sitting here watching him eat? Has he changed tracks? Is this a massive mukbang (eating broadcast)?]

To be fair, the quality of this meal seems a bit higher than the one Brother Ma ordered earlier; at least the chicken is real, no faking it.

[I feel like you're implying something upstairs?]

[Family members, do you think what Ah Long said is true? Is he really planning to send Liu Yunfei out after staging this whole thing?]

[I don't know... With such a big fuss, they probably wouldn't be playing a trick on us, right? But if it's really that easy, then we players can just replicate it, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to beat the game?]

That's true, but look, Sister Yu and Ah Long, these high-level figures, are here. Surely they wouldn't lie in front of so many of their followers? Wouldn't that be contradicting themselves?

[Hiss! It's really hard to say.]

A large group of people just stood there dumbfounded, watching Liu Yunfei cook alone on the stage.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.

Liu Yunfei put down his chopsticks and took a big gulp of the oily chicken soup.

Then he let out a loud, satisfied burp.

It's clear he thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

You can clearly feel that his overall energy and spirit have improved a lot.

Ah Long glanced at him with disdain:
"I've eaten?"

"The taste is alright, isn't it!"

Liu Yunfei seemed to genuinely appreciate the park's sincerity, and finally managed a smile:
"I'm full, this meal was really good!"

"The soup is delicious too!"

"It's made me a little reluctant to leave."

Ah Long grinned:
"In that case, why don't you stay?"

"With a company this big, would you really go hungry?"

Liu Yunfei's expression froze instantly.

Nima!

He was just being polite. Why can't Brother Long understand good and bad words?

He opened his mouth halfway, unsure of what to say for a moment.

All I could do was curse myself in my heart for being so foul-mouthed.

Ah Long suddenly burst into laughter, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and said in a tone of concern for a junior:
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"Why are you putting on airs with me?"

"Come on, take a picture, and then you can leave."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunfei felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly followed Ah Long's instructions, stood in front of the stage, squatted down next to the box full of red bills, and made a rather comical peace sign.

"Crack!"

The camera captured this scene.

Ah Long tossed the camera to his lackey behind him and waved:
"okay."

"Although you are gone, the park will always remember your contributions."

"Your photo will be forever on our company's honor roll."

After the photo was taken, Ah Long put his arm around Liu Yunfei's shoulder with one hand and carried the money box for him with the other.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they walked step by step toward the park gate.

[Holy crap! Holy crap! The green-skinned soldiers didn't stop him! He actually walked out!]

[Could this method really work? Calling Brother Piao! Calling Brother Piao! We've found a way to escape the park!]

Don't get too excited. I have a bad feeling about this. What if a burst of bullets comes flying at him the moment he steps out the door?

[Probably not. If they really wanted to kill someone, would they need to go through all this trouble?]

"It's hard to say!" Wang Zixu narrowed his eyes.

Judging from this, Ah Long seems to really intend to release them.

Sister Yu watched the whole thing with a cold eye, making no attempt to stop it, which suggests that she tacitly approved of it.

What is going on?
"crunch-"

With a screeching sound, the heavy iron door was completely pulled open by the green-skinned soldiers.

Wang Zixu saw the eyes of the dog-pushers around him light up instantly.

His eyes were filled with longing for the outside world.

Compared to the vast world outside the door, which symbolizes freedom.

The food on that table suddenly seemed insignificant.

Even Wang Mazi, standing beside him, was no exception, his eyes gleaming with a green light.

He stared intently at the dirt road outside the park that led to freedom.

Looking at the wild grass swaying in the wind on both sides of the road.

My heart has already drifted off to who knows where.

Ah Long smiled and stuffed the money box into Liu Yunfei's arms, waving at him:

"Let's go."

"you're free."

"This is a benefit the company gives you; we don't expect anything in return from you."

"I hope you remember that."

"The company will always be your home."

"Come back and visit whenever you feel homesick."

No one knows what Liu Yunfei was thinking.

But he nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice, as if he wanted to poke his chest with his chin.

As he raised his left foot and stepped over the iron threshold that separated the two worlds, his movement was so slow it was almost frozen, as if he were testing some insurmountable forbidden zone.

I only breathed a sigh of relief when I landed safely on the ground outside the park and realized there was no danger.

He glanced back and tentatively said:
"Brother Long, is there...is nothing else? I'll really be leaving now?"

Ah Long waved his hand impatiently, as if to shoo him away:

"Let's go, let's go, stop dawdling!"

Liu Yunfei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling reborn, he grabbed the money box and ran wildly along the dirt road.

Breathe in the fresh, free air of the wild.

With power in his legs, he ran even faster.

He suddenly turned around and glanced back.

No one stopped them, no one chased after them.

Those green-skinned soldiers with guns didn't even bother to glance at him.

Even the large iron gate of the park slowly closed amidst a sharp scraping sound.

……

Under everyone's gaze, Liu Yunfei's figure slowly turned into a small black dot, and finally disappeared into the distance.

[Awesome! Liu Yunfei actually left?]

To be honest, I'm starting to suspect this is either a game bug or some kind of special treatment for NPCs. The way this park is handling things is way too haphazardly.

[Where is this "casual" attitude? I'm a long-time fan who's followed Piao Di all the way through. Liu Yunfei was in much better shape when he first arrived; he must have suffered terribly these past few days. I just don't know which unlucky guy he tricked into replacing him.]

Being scammed was truly tragic, but Liu Yunfei now has 100,000 yuan, so he's finally reaping the rewards of his hard work, right?

[What a load of crap! I'd rather Ah Long command those green-skinned soldiers to rush out and tie him up. Letting this scumbag live a life of luxury with his money is just ridiculous!]

"boom!"

The park gates were tightly closed, cutting off everyone's view.

Ah Long's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling aura.

He turned around and shouted at the crowd:
"Alright, have you all seen enough?"

"Whether the company has lied or not, tell me now!"

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

Although they were unwilling to believe it, the facts were right in front of them.

Liu Yunfei did indeed swagger out of the park.

For a time, many people had some different thoughts.

Ah Long frowned and shouted angrily:
"Are they all fucking mute?!"

"say!"

Only then did a few scattered voices break out from the crowd:
"No... I'm not lying."
