Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

So quick! They admit defeat so quickly!

"Ruzi can be taught."

Xu Lin nodded in satisfaction. He had secured a head chef, but he still needed helpers. After all, it would be too much to ask one person to cook for thirty people.

The main problem is that everyone is impatient; by the time Xueyue finishes cooking all by herself, she might starve to death.

"Then I'll stay and help out, so that everyone doesn't forget about me again."

Lin Mu said sadly.

As for why this is another sad story, let's not go into it again.

"Sarl and I will stay and help with chopping and washing the vegetables."

Ye Jun also raised his hand.

"Hey, if you don't want to move, don't drag me along! I still want to see what Yuebao looks like!"

But Sal seemed reluctant.

"Hey, we'll see each other sooner or later. What kind of image is it if we men don't stay and help and let the women do all the work?"

Ye Jun put his arm around Sal's neck and said in a friendly tone, "We're like brothers."

That makes sense, though. After all, it would be really difficult to prepare food for so many people without having two strong people on hand.

"That makes four. Where are the others?"

Xu Lin looked at it again.

The villa's kitchen is quite large, as it was designed with an open kitchen in mind, considering that many people might stay overnight. There are even five gas stoves.

"Yuya, stay."

You raised your hand.

"what..."

Yuka instantly looked constipated.

Xu Lin was also somewhat helpless; how should he put it?

She didn't want two extra dog-shaped rice balls on the dinner table.

"You should just forget about Yuu. Spend more time with Yuuka and don't let her cause too much trouble."

But Xu Lin phrased it quite tactfully, placing her in the position of a parent watching over unruly children.

Although her relationship with Yuka is more like that of a pet and its owner.

"Then I'll go. You and Sakura can go, I won't go."

Sister Yan said calmly while lying on the sofa.

"Okay, the rest of you, pack up and let's get ready to go."

With Sister Yan added in, and a few staff members coming to help, that would be enough. So Xu Lin didn't hesitate and simply set off with the rest of the group.

Actually, there's no one left.

After all, there are still a few people in the room who haven't come out yet www.

As for why so many people were brought along, it's because Lingyue chose the path she was on to climb the mountain, and got lost on a small side path near the summit.

Therefore, location tracking is completely useless; we can only bring more people and spread them out to search.

Fortunately, it's midday and the weather is nice, so there's no fear of any danger. Besides, the area isn't very big, and if all goes well, we should be able to find it in just a few minutes.

After changing their shoes, the group set off for the last location that Zero could clearly describe, and Yuzu activated her deduction skills.

"The last place that Senior Zero Moon could clearly describe was here, and according to her description, she only realized that she seemed to have taken the wrong path after walking for another five minutes."

Yuzu pushed up the non-prescription glasses she had borrowed from Xueyue and gave a perfect cosplay of Conan.

"But what would it take for someone who has absolutely no sense of direction to realize they're lost? What do you think about this, sis?"

"My lord... Pah! What are you looking at! There are only two forks in the road here, what else is there to look at? That girl Lingyue must have taken the path to the small waterfall in the back mountain!"

Xu Lin subconsciously wanted to respond to the joke, but then suddenly realized that so many people were watching, so he gave Youzi a sharp chop to cover up his embarrassment.

Yes, that's right, there is a small waterfall on this mountain.

ps: (2/7)

Chapter 27, Section 320: Zero Moon, the Professional Guide!

The air around the waterfall is very fresh.

The winding path was overgrown with weeds, and dew condensed from the moisture clung precariously to the verdant branches. The sound of the water flowing down was deafening. In this place far from the hustle and bustle of the world, a girl with beautiful black hair, dressed in a black school uniform, sat by the pond.

She took off her brown round-toed leather shoes and black over-the-knee socks and neatly laid them on the shore. Her two white little feet were completely immersed in the mountain spring water, feeling the refreshing coolness.

They are as beautiful as mountain spirits.

The girl who was barely a little taller than Xu Lin was Ling Yue.

Despite spending most of her time at home, her physique is impossibly perfect thanks to the equipment she uses to exercise. A childlike, radiant smile graces her face as if she's talking to herself, but the sound of the waterfall completely drowns her out.

Xu Youyue, somewhat shocked, tugged at Xu Lin's hand and whispered in her ear.

"Wow, Zero Moon is so beautiful!?"

The white-haired girl nodded in agreement.

"Now I finally understand why the boss hired this guy with severe social anxiety."

Lingyue was specially signed by the boss. Not only the later juniors, but even Xu Lin and the young lady did not know the reason why the boss signed her. Judging from the live broadcast, yes, she draws very well, but there are many girls who can draw.

The singing was decent, but only just decent.

The show is just for fun, come on. What kind of fun can someone with severe social anxiety come up with? It's been more than half a year since their debut and they only have 50,000 fans. The third generation members have all reached 50,000 or almost 100,000 fans, okay?

But now that he had met Lingyue in person, Xu Lin finally understood his boss's feelings.

It would be a waste not to sign such a cute girl!

It's a pity that they are, after all, a virtual livestreaming company, and can't let their employees make a living based on their looks.

The group looked at each other, but no one was willing to disrupt the harmony between humanity and nature by calling Lingyue back.

We could only stand together at the crossroads in the woods, admiring it silently.

The young lady, who has recently developed a passion for photography, took out her phone to capture this moment.

Everyone waited silently for five minutes until Lingyue turned around.

Then the child was so frightened that he almost fell into the pond.

It was so close, my skirt was almost wet.

...From Zero Moon's perspective...

Hello everyone, I'm Lingyue, one of the second generation members of ESC Club.

I'm not a member of XP Company, really not!

Just a few days ago, I suddenly found out that everyone was going to a camp in the mountains together, but I didn't want to go. It was too far, and I was sure I would get lost, which would be embarrassing. I didn't want to.

But this morning, Xu Ying, a senior from the first generation, suddenly sent me a lot of photos. I curiously clicked on them and saw that they were all sleeping faces.

Even Yi Yi's sleeping posture is so proper, Yuan Chu is curled up, You Zi is sleeping spread-eagled without any image, Sal and Ye Jun are such handsome and cute boys, the fourth generation kids are also very loving and look very united, Lin Mu is sleeping on Xue Yue's lap, hehe, I've never heard of these two having an affair before, Yu and Yuka are indeed a couple, they look very warm and cozy, Feng Jie is so small and cute.

After seeing the photos, I could hardly control my urge to draw, but for some reason, I couldn't even get a satisfactory draft.

It's like something's missing; the drawing doesn't even have the same feel as the unedited (what the heck, is this even censored?) photo taken by the young lady with her phone from an amateur angle.

So I decided to go there in person and observe everyone in person, which should help me find out what's missing.

It was my first time going out in three years, and the moment I stepped out of my room after changing my clothes, I felt lost.

How do I get a taxi again?

Finally, I had no choice but to call my mother to take me to the bus. It was only then that I realized that everyone was actually in a small town in the city next to my home, very close, only about an hour away.

On the train, I looked at the route map my mother had written for me over and over again, which filled me with confidence.

This trip will definitely be fine!

Then I looked at the fork in the road and felt lost.

Mom! Why did the memo you gave me only go up to the foot of the mountain?

However, this didn't stump me. After ten minutes of careful analysis, I was quite certain that the asphalt road only passed by the mountainside and couldn't reach the top. Moreover, since everyone said they were here to climb the mountain, it must be this rugged bluestone staircase!

As the altitude increased, I became more and more certain that I had not gone astray.

Mom, did you see that? Zero Moon, I won't get lost anymore!

Full of confidence, I continued forward, and when I saw the last fork in the road, I confidently chose the small path.

Don't ask, just the confidence of a professional leader!

Five minutes later, I looked at the waterfall and pool in front of me and fell into deep thought.

Everyone...

Could it be that they are all deep-sea divers who live underwater?

Absolutely! A professional guide's intuition can't possibly be wrong!

Of course, in the end I obediently contacted Hamster Bro and stayed where I was, waiting for everyone to search for me.

There are countless forks in the road ahead, and even simply returning the way we came would only be repeating the same mistakes we've made.

I have that much self-awareness.

It seems my terrible sense of direction is beyond saving.

The little girl, Lingyue, fell into despair.

The little girl, Lingyue, happily played in the water.
