Perhaps it was a coincidence or maybe it was for the convenience of the game. In any case, the ten people, including Mo Yang, were divided into two neighboring houses in the Phoenix Village.
It must be said that Phoenix Village was truly a beautiful place suitable for a healthy lifestyle. Both the homes of Feng Yan and Feng Mengmeng were like ancient quadrangle courtyards. As soon as you entered the gate, you could see a courtyard filled with flowers and plants, along with a grapevine and a maple tree in the center of the yard. There was a well in the middle of the courtyard, and according to Feng Mengmeng, the water inside was sweet and refreshing, truly nourishing.
Outside the courtyard, a clear stream flowed by, and maple leaves in the village had already turned yellow and even red, occasionally drifting down into the stream, adding a touch of charm.
“Tsk tsk, if there were such villages in reality, I wonder how popular they would be. It might even attract crowds of people.” Zhou Api sighed while admiring the scenery of the courtyard, and Mo Yang nodded beside him, “Yeah, and within a few years, this place would be ruined.”
“In reality, how could a village only accommodate ten guests at a time? It would need to start with at least a thousand people.”
“That’s why we should take this opportunity to truly appreciate the beauty and tranquility of this village.”
Mo Yang smiled. Perhaps it was an opportunity to experience the horror and eeriness of a peaceful village.
“Alright, Brother Yang Heigou! You can stay in the room on the west side! It’s our family’s most luxurious suite! The flowers and decorations inside were arranged by me, so you’re definitely going to love it!”
Feng Mengmeng held Mo Yang’s hand and led him to a room on the west side. After she opened the door, they were greeted by fully furnished wooden furniture and uniquely embroidered quilts. The room had an antique look, but the lighting was modern with electric lamps, and it even had a water heater and a television. As it was a deluxe room, the bathroom had an exquisite wooden bathtub.
“Wow! This room looks exceptionally comfortable. Tsk tsk, it seems that wherever handsome people go, they receive preferential treatment.” Zhou Api exclaimed while Mo Yang stared at the red embroidered quilt on the luxurious bed with a hint of confusion.
“Are there no other colors for this quilt?” A red embroidered quilt with phoenix patterns; no matter how you looked at it, it seemed like a marriage quilt.
Feng Mengmeng shook her head, “No, all the quilts in our house are like this. Oh well, it doesn’t matter. Okay, Brother Yang Heigou, you can stay here! I’ll take the other brothers and sisters to see the rest of the house!”
Saying that Feng Mengmeng pushed Mo Yang into the room before he could resist, and she left with Chen Yuanyuan.
Mo Yang frowned, and Xu Shuai, who had been silent all this time, snorted: “You as a little white face should be well matched with this kind of girly room, just don’t take advantage of it and act all innocent.”
Mo Yang raised his eyes and looked at him, Xu Shuai originally had more to say, but when he saw those sharp phoenix eyes, he held back all of a sudden. He snorted, turned around, and left, only Wan Mei was left in the corridor.
“I live in the room next to yours, you don’t have to worry.”
Mo Yang clicked his tongue, “What am I worried about? It’s you who shouldn’t go snooping around and investigating other people’s things. We have a bonfire party tonight, so I’ll go take a shower. I put a specially brewed calming tea for you in your backpack, don’t pour it out.”
After saying that, Mo Yang closed the door. Wan Mei, on the other hand, directly opened the room next to him and walked in.
When he entered, the eldest brother and the second sister of this family were standing in the courtyard, observing everything. Throughout the whole interaction, the expressions of these two individuals remained indifferent, showing no significant change.
“Yang Heigou has feelings for Mengmeng, so we’ll leave him to her,” suddenly, Feng Hui, Mengmeng’s older brother, spoke up.
“Can you handle Mei BaiWan in the adjacent room? He has a good-looking face too.”
“Brother, are you kidding? Even a fool can tell that guy is not easy to provoke or seduce. Otherwise, would those people just stand by and watch as we bring Yang Heigou back? Bringing back one Yang Heigou is already a challenge, and now you want to involve an ugly guy who can’t even be used as a breeding tool, as well as the chubby man and Mei BaiWan? Our mission is not as easy as Yan’er’s.”
“Well, as long as we can get hold of Yang Heigou, we’ll be making a big profit. The other two can serve as breeding tools, and as for Xu Shuai… let’s throw him into the confinement area.”
Feng Jiao chuckled softly, “Hmm, brother, you’ve thought it through thoroughly. Isn’t that the most suitable place for him?”
“Alright, let’s go and make preparations. We’ll take action tonight. Just looking at that guy makes me feel nauseous.” Feng Hui sneered and turned to leave.
After they left, Wan Mei, who was standing in front of the dressing mirror, smiled. The mirror was embedded in the wardrobe, and when opened, it directly faced the window. The distance between this room and the courtyard was not far, so after closing the wardrobe, Wan Mei sat on the bed and mouthed the same words.
Breeding tool, mission, confinement area… getting hold of Yang Heigou.

Wan Mei shook his head and said, “Well, at least you won’t be able to achieve the last one. Because I haven’t succeeded yet.”

Mo Yang immersed himself in this fragrance when suddenly a small stone flew in through the window, landing straight into his bathwater, splashing warm water all over his face. It snapped Mo Yang back to reality, and then he saw a figure flash by outside the window.
His entire demeanor changed.
“What the…!”
Mo Yang instantly stood up from the bathtub and dashed towards the window, but all he saw was the flowing water and the trees in the village. There was no trace of a person. However, the small stone that had just landed in his bath was clenched in his hand, telling him that it was not an illusion.
Mo Yang: “…Well, let’s just chalk it up to my eyes playing tricks on me. There’s no way Phoenix Village could have someone like that.”
Mo Yang lost interest in taking a bath and quickly dried himself off and got dressed. He began to inspect the room and the courtyard.
Apart from the uncomfortable red phoenix-embroidered bedspread, everything in the room seemed fine. The courtyard was also pleasant, except that Feng Jiao, the second sister of Feng Mengmeng, seemed to be engrossed in a conversation with Xu Shuai.
Feng Jiao had the appearance of a dignified and virtuous woman, with a refined smile that didn’t reveal her teeth. Xu Shuai was completely glued to her side, his eyes filled with excitement as he spoke loudly.
“Wow, you’re amazing!” Feng Jiao exclaimed, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Xu Shuai boasted, “Of course! During that mission, five of us survived, and I was one of them. I have immense power now! I can easily lift you with just one hand.”
Feng Jiao shook her head and laughed, “I don’t believe it.”
Xu Shuai squinted his eyes and suddenly reached out, encircling Feng Jiao’s slender waist. Then, he lifted her up with just one hand and spun her around quickly.
Amidst Feng Jiao’s astonished cries, he proudly said, “I exercise every day, you know. Do you believe me now?”
Feng Jiao took a few quick breaths and gave him a scolding look, “You scared me! Now I know how amazing you are.”
Xu Shuai chuckled to himself. Although he had completed a love simulation game before, that was just a game, where he could increase affection and eventually succeed regardless of his choices. Those characters he pursued were just part of his mission, and they didn’t truly admire him. But now, it was different.
The people in this village were shallow and judged based on appearance. Under these circumstances, if he could make Feng Jiao develop a favorable impression of him, it would be a testament to his abilities! Even though it was still a game, it felt different to Xu Shuai.
Glancing at Feng Jiao’s smiling face, Xu Shuai’s heart fluttered, and he resolved to win over this beauty with his own strength.
Mo Yang and Wan Mei, who had just stepped outside, stood on the other side of the courtyard, watching the two of them.
Mo Yang sighed, “That guy is clearly an inexperienced, self-proclaimed straight guy. Just because a girl smiles at you doesn’t mean she’s interested. Look at the tips of her toes and her gaze, it shows no sign of liking him at all. Even if he can lift her with one hand and spin her around, so what? He’s not Yang Guo…”
Wan Mei raised an eyebrow, “Oh, Mr. Mo seems to have a lot of experience?”
Mo Yang shook his head, “No, no, it’s just that I’ve seen a lot, so I can accumulate some experience. But Dr. Wan, you don’t have to think about it. At least he can lift a person with one hand and spin them around, but as for you… Haha, it’s about time, let’s go to the square and attend the party. I wonder what kind of performances the villagers of Phoenix Village will have for us?”
Just as Mo Yang turned around to leave, Wan Mei reached out and encircled Mo Yang’s waist, lifting him before he could react, and then slowly spun him around in place.
Taken aback, Mo Yang exclaimed, “What the hell are you doing?!”
Wan Mei glanced at him, adjusted his coat lightly, and walked out the front gate, saying, “Proving to you that I can at least spin you around.”
Turning around, he saw the complicated eyes of Xu Shuai, Zhou Api, and Chen Yuanyuan in the courtyard.
“No, it’s not what you think, can you not look at me like this?”
Zhou Api instantly showed a smile that we all understand: “Don’t worry, we didn’t think about anything! You were just spun for a bit!”
Mo Yang didn’t want to waste words on this fat man, the moment he stepped out, he heard Feng Mengmeng’s voice.
“Brother Yang Heigou! Do you like boys or girls?!”
“I won’t like you anyway, give up, girl.”
With a heavy heart, Mo Yang made his way to the central stage in Phoenix Village’s square. He noticed that a well-built bonfire was already burning there, surrounded by wooden tables and stools.
The tables were filled with mouthwatering delicacies, and most of the villagers had already gathered. Wan Mei, the embodiment of physical weakness, was quietly enjoying some deep-fried fish crackers.
Heh.
That guy could still eat?!
Mo Yang strode over to Wan Mei without a word and snatched his deep-fried fish crackers, immediately starting to devour them. Wan Mei glanced at him, expression unchanged, and reached for another dish of golden shrimp cakes.
But that too was snatched away.
Wan Mei looked at the remaining dishes on the table and quietly stopped reaching for more.
Yang Heigou felt satisfied with himself.
Then, soft laughter rang out from beside them. The voice was deep and melodious as if it could seduce one’s soul.
“Ah Yang, do you like eating fish crackers and golden shrimp cakes?”
“How about this crispy fish roe? Would you like to try one?”
Mo Yang turned towards the voice and saw Feng Zhao, the first handsome man of Phoenix Village, dressed in a red robe with flowing hair. He had a charming smile on his face, exuding an aura of elegance and charisma. He held a clump of golden fish roe with silver chopsticks, bringing it close to his lips, creating a captivating scene.
“Uh, well, let me try—uh!!”
Just as Mo Yang opened his mouth to eat the fish roe from the chopsticks, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist, causing him to lean to the side and fall over. Feng Zhao reached out to help him, but another powerful and slender arm beat him to it.
Wan Mei pulled Mo Yang upright, and just as Mo Yang was about to turn and roar at him, Wan Mei swiftly used the chopsticks to pick up a crispy fish roe and stuffed it into Mo Yang’s mouth.
“Eat it. Remember to sit more steadily next time.”
Mo Yang chewed on the fish roe in his mouth, his eyes filled with a fierce gaze and determination as if he were gnawing on someone’s bones.
Feng Zhao glanced at Wan Mei on Mo Yang’s left but didn’t say anything. He ate the fish roe from his chopsticks.
Meanwhile, Sun Buguai and Liu Meiren, who was observing the scene, couldn’t help feeling a bit uneasy. Although Feng Zhao treated both of them with kindness, since they sat down, he hadn’t taken the initiative to feed either of them.
Even though they knew this was just a game, Feng Zhao seemed to have an inexplicable allure for them. The two friends who had entered this dream world together had each secretly decided that they would capture Feng Zhao’s heart during this game!
In this game world, they didn’t need to worry about moral or legal obligations to be faithful to one man. Different game worlds allowed them to experience different types of romance and beautiful men. There was nothing more addictive than this.
So what if it wasn’t real? They could feel the blush-inducing heartbeats, the immensely pleasurable kisses, and touches. What difference did it make from the real world?
Thinking about this, Sun Buguai directly leaned against Feng Zhao’s body and used a chopstick to pick up a piece of crispy meat and handed it to his mouth.
“Azhao! Taste this crispy meat, it’s delicious.”
On the other side, Liu Meiren also didn’t want to be outdone. Separated by Sun Buguai, she picked up a chopstick and picked up a refreshing lotus root slice. “Have some of this, it’s refreshing.”
Feng Zhao turned to look at the two of them with a smile and finally sighed as if he had no choice but to indulge them. He ate the dishes from Sun Buguai and Liu Meiren’s chopsticks one by one.
“Alright, I understand your intentions. To show my gratitude, what do you want to eat next? Shall I pick it up for you?”
Liu Meiren and Sun Buguai blushed and started behaving like young girls in love, letting Feng Zhao feed them and pick up food for them.
The handsome guy Hei Quan standing by was dumbfounded.
He picked up a small fish and looked around, suddenly feeling horrified. Not only were Liu Meiren and Sun Buguai blushing and seemingly in love, as if they had fallen into a romance, but also Liu Daye, Murong Feng, and Zhang Xiaoyao were sitting close to Feng Yan, Feng Qing, and Feng Ling respectively. They were also feeding each other and everything around them seemed to have turned pink.
“No way, it’s only been half a day?! Are they all falling for him?!” Mo Yang nudged Wan Mei with his elbow. Wan Mei clicked his tongue, looking at the small number of life points he lost from being nudged, and grabbed his arm.
“It’s their favorite type of person if their personality is right, and they can have a good conversation. The probability of this happening is over 80%.”
“If we put it in simple terms, this should be ‘love at first sight,’ right?”
Mo Yang’s heart suddenly raced. “No! Don’t they remember that this is a mystery-solving game, not a romance simulation?!”
Wan Mei shrugged. “Based on what we see now, they probably don’t remember.”
Mo Yang: “…” He suddenly felt the horror of Phoenix Village. Over there, that fatty Zhou Aipi knew that the completion rate of this game was extremely low, yet he was still laughing and chatting with Feng Mengmeng!
“But why isn’t anyone approaching you?” Even though Mei Baiwan’s personality is unlikable, his face is top-notch.
Wan Mei took away a gold coin shrimp cake from in front of Mo Yang. “Maybe my pheromones are off.”
Mo Yang: “???”
He had no idea what pheromones had to do with it. But in the next two hours, the villagers of Phoenix Village sang and danced with joy. Among the ten players who arrived, including Xu Shuai, they were all confessed to by an enthusiastic girl.
However, Wan Mei, sitting next to Mo Yang, visibly did not have anyone daring enough to approach and say anything to him. Mo Yang clearly saw a beauty who wanted to approach Wan Mei, but as soon as this guy looked up, the girl shivered and then covered her face, whimpering as she ran away!
She ran away?!
Mo Yang: “…” What kind of terrifying pheromones does he have?
After the welcoming bonfire party ended, Mo Yang, feeling slightly intoxicated, returned to Feng Mengmeng’s house. Before entering the house, he saw Feng Jiao’s eyes flowing as she entered Xu Shuai’s room, and Xu Shuai had an excited look on his face.
Mo Yang: “Ha.”
This guy’s pheromones must be saying “Get in bed, get in bed, get in bed, get in bed,” right?
The next morning during breakfast, Feng Jiao anxiously asked Mo Yang and the others, “Have you seen Xu Shuai? There’s no one in his room.”
Everyone immediately stopped using their chopsticks.
I mean, how you can not afraid of this game?
Thank you for your translation 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Mei Baiwan’s pheromones has favoritism. It’s only tolerable if it’s Mo Yang!
dear CEO,
you’re kinda dumb in the EQ department (◕ᴗ◕✿)
