After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 193: What Role Will That Woman Play This Time?

In the end, it was Jiang Xi who stepped forward first and spoke with a smile, “Hello, I just moved in today. I’m Jiang Xi.”

Mu Chengsi wasn’t great at talking, worried about breaking her character setting, so she only gave a slight nod and responded briefly, “Mu Chengsi.”

After speaking, she took her two daughters by the hand and headed toward the elevator, planning to go home.

Her indifferent attitude made Jiang Xi pause for a moment. Then, recalling the setup of this instance, she pursed her lips and slowly walked to the elevator as well.

This building had two elevators. One of them had just arrived, and Jiang Xi noticed Mu Chengsi was still waiting for the other one, so she asked, “You’re not taking this one? It’s already here.”

Mu Chengsi glanced over, but before she could say anything, a burst of playful laughter came from behind, followed by a bright male voice: “Sis, are you new here? You can’t just take whichever elevator you want, you know.”

Turning around, two neatly dressed young men were walking in from outside carrying things.

One of them had a buzz cut, while the other had slightly longer hair. They both gave off a strong student vibe, making them stand out in this gloomy building.

It’s just that the boy with slightly longer hair looked a bit pale and worn out—probably didn’t sleep well.

Jiang Xi looked a bit confused and nodded. “Yes, I just moved in today. Is there something different about the two elevators?”

“Of course! One only goes to odd-numbered floors, the other to even-numbered ones.”

The buzz-cut guy walked over, teasing Xiao Yun first before raising his head to look at Mu Chengsi, flashing a sunny smile. “Aunt Mu, why didn’t you remind our new neighbor? What if she got on the wrong one?”

He casually draped his arm over his roommate’s shoulder and raised a brow as he continued, “Peace Tower’s all about helping each other out, isn’t it?”

Mu Chengsi stared at the boy in front of her without responding. Two bits of information instantly popped into her mind.

【Two college students sharing a rental, Mu Shichen and Zhang Jialin.】

Tenants living on the same floor as her, and both were NPCs.

At the same time, the buzz-cut boy introduced himself to Jiang Xi. “Hi, Sis, I’m Mu Shichen, and this is my roommate, Zhang Jialin. We’re in our senior year of college, here on internships and renting together.”

Zhang Jialin kept his head down, bangs covering his eyes, revealing only the lower half of his face. He gave off a timid vibe and said quietly, “Hello.”

Jiang Xi nodded, “Nice to meet you. I’m Jiang Xi.”

Mu Shichen was clearly the outgoing type. He smiled and leaned in to ask, “Sis, what floor are you on?”

Jiang Xi glanced at her phone. “8th floor.”

“Oh! Even number! Then you’re with us!” Mu Shichen beamed. “Come on, come on!! Aunt Mu and I are on the 4th floor.”

With that, he pulled Jiang Xi toward the other elevator.

Jiang Xi couldn’t resist his enthusiasm and was dragged aside. She instinctively glanced at Mu Chengsi.

Mu Shichen noticed her gaze and chuckled. “Ah, don’t worry about it. Aunt Mu’s just like that. What’s the phrase again… cold on the outside, warm on the inside? She’s really good to her kids. You’ll see.”

Then he looked back at Mu Chengsi with another grin.

“Aunt Mu, you really should work on that personality of yours.”

The boy’s face was full of smiles, but those pitch-black pupils were creepy to look at—there was even something eerie in them. “Always so cold. Didn’t the announcement say we should help each other out?”

Mu Chengsi’s palms were sweaty. This NPC had already mentioned “helping” several times. From the beginning, the system’s description said ‘the principle of living in Peace Tower is peace.’

So… should she act more friendly?

But then she immediately dismissed the idea.

Mu Shichen called her someone who’s cold outside but warm inside. That meant her character setting wasn’t supposed to be outgoing. Acting rashly would only break character.

She glanced at the boy with that bright smile and spoke coldly, “Didn’t you already remind her? What’s the point of me saying anything else?”

As soon as she said that, Mu Shichen’s smile disappeared instantly. He stared at Mu Chengsi for several seconds.

Just as Mu Chengsi started breaking into a cold sweat from his stare, the boy finally looked away and muttered, “Fair enough.” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

“Ding——” The elevator arrived on the first floor.

As the door opened, they ran right into a man coming out.

The man wore glasses, a wrinkled shirt, carried a briefcase and wore a shabby suit jacket. His face was sallow, and he looked completely drained.

Mu Shichen was the first to greet him, “Hey! Uncle Chen, heading out?”

Chen Zhixia gave a brief “Mm” before his gaze fell on Mu Chengsi and Jiang Xi, pausing slightly.

Mu Chengsi subtly studied the man in front of her.

Chen Zhixia was also a player.

And also a mid-tier player.

【You are a tired office worker who works a 9-to-5 job for a meager salary, with elderly parents to support at home.】

【Your mission: Discover your full identity background and character setting. Uncover the secret of the building.】

【Please note: Since your character and identity are currently unknown, act cautiously to maintain your role. Avoid breaking character. If detected by an NPC, you’ll bear the consequences.】

【Due to a system error, all players will now receive a kind reminder as compensation.】

【Kind reminder: Please do your best to meet all your parents’ needs. Spend more time with them. Follow the rules of Peace Tower.】

Looking at the information in his head, Chen Zhixia was about to explode.

F***. He couldn’t believe it.

Who knows which high-level player wandered into a low-tier instance. And now, thanks to that, he—a mid-tier player—got dragged into an A-rank instance. Fine, whatever.

But his role turned out to be… an office drone!!!

And now he had to go to work!!

But when he saw Jiang Xi, a newbie player, and Mu Chengsi, another mid-tier player, his mood lifted slightly. At least he wasn’t the only one pulled in.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have time to talk to them—he had to rush to that d*mn job.

Watching Chen Zhixia’s hurried figure disappearing into the distance, Mu Chengsi’s eyes were thoughtful.

Looks like most of the characters had appeared by now.

Except for Jiang Xi, who was the protagonist-type character, everyone else matched the profiles in the summary one by one.

She was the strong, gentle single mother. Mu Shichen and Zhang Jialin were supportive roommates. The one who just left—Chen Zhixia—should be the filial and dependable son.

That left the supportive siblings, the loving couple, and the helpful, kind neighbors.

Among the players, Rong Fan and Bo Jingmo hadn’t shown up yet. Even Yu Li hadn’t appeared.

This time, what role would that woman play?

Mu Chengsi was lost in thought, until the “ding-dong” sound of the elevator reaching its floor snapped her out of it.

She glanced at the floor number—2nd floor.

It wasn’t her floor, nor was it Jiang Xi’s.

So… a new character was about to appear.

At that thought, she quickly looked up as the elevator doors slowly opened—
