The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 272 Happy Lantern Festival, everyone!

Lu Renkui originally thought that she and Sheng Kailin would wait until everyone had finished popping the balloons, but they didn't.

Two cars pulled up outside the courtyard, and a staff member got out of each car. They walked up to Sheng Kailin and Lu Renkui, who was inside Sen Ouling's body, and gestured for them to get in.

"Time to choose a mission, huh?" Lu Renkui thought to himself, then followed the staff into the car behind.

Sure enough, not long after the car had gone far, the staff member handed a mission card to Lu Renkui, who was inside Sen Ouling's body, from the passenger seat.

Looking at the task card handed to her, Lu Renkui took it with a slight puzzlement. She asked, "Didn't you say that I chose the task myself? Why did you give me a task card?"

"Hmm, Mr. Mori, have you forgotten?" a staff member reminded him, "You're the undercover agent for this episode."

“…Okay.” Lu Renkui had almost forgotten about this, mainly because nothing much happened yesterday. “So this is the task I need to do as an undercover agent?”

"Yes." The staff member nodded with a smile.

Lu Renkui nodded to indicate that he understood, and then looked down to read what was written on the card.

The card reads: Congratulations, you have become an undercover agent. You need to complete the tasks assigned to you as an undercover agent. You will receive a large number of points for each completed task without being discovered.

Here is your task for today: Prevent a guest designated by the production team from completing the next task assigned to that guest.

After reading what was written on the card, Lu Renkui looked up and asked the staff, "Excuse me, what is this blockade?"

"While the guests are completing their tasks, you need to sabotage them and make them perform poorly," the staff member said with a smile.

“You can use all sorts of methods—except those that violate human ethics.”

Lu Renkui thought for a while and understood. It meant that she should sabotage others while they were doing their tasks, preventing them from completing the tasks to the best of their ability and thus avoiding earning points.

“Okay, I understand,” Lu Renkui nodded. “Whom should I disturb to complete the mission?”

"It's Teacher Xiao Keyuan," the staff member said with a smile.

"...Can we change to another one?" Lu Renkui asked. She really didn't want to confront Xiao Keyuan. This show was clearly trying to hype up the conflict between her and Xiao Keyuan.

"No, Mr. Sen." The staff member was still smiling, but her tone was firm and left no room for argument. "Please go and disturb Mr. Xiao Keyuan as he completes his task."

"..." Lu Renkui didn't say anything more, thinking to himself that this was bad, and then asked the staff member sitting in the passenger seat, "Besides this undercover mission, I still need to complete the tasks required by the production team, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Mori, since you broke the balloon containing gold dust, you can now choose a task to complete." The staff member said, while taking out a row of task cards. "Please complete your task before you proceed with the undercover mission."

"Okay, I understand, thank you." Lu Renkui said, looking through the entire list of tasks. After thinking for a while, she decided to take the task from the original story where Xiao Keyuan was a waiter.

Lu Renkui thought that if he wore a mask and hat properly, there shouldn't be any problem.

The female lead will probably leave when she finds out Xiao Keyuan isn't there and is working as a waitress. All we need to do is wait until she leaves. Having decided this, Lu Renkui asked a staff member when they would arrive at the mission location.

The answer was that it would take some more time, so Lu Renkui took this opportunity to enter Sen Ouling's consciousness space to see how the system WQBYRZM and Sen Ouling were doing.

Upon entering the consciousness space, which had a distinctly rural courtyard style, the first thing Lu Renkui saw was Sen Ouling sitting on a bed covered with a straw mat, and the system WQBYRZM sitting on a small stool, holding a blue screen.

Sen Ouling held a small dog-shaped doll in her hand, stroking it again and again, as if she were reminiscing about something.

Sensing someone's arrival, the two people who had been in the consciousness space simultaneously looked up and saw the tall girl with long braids.

"Hello, I'm sorry to have taken over your body without your permission. I am Lu Renkui, a transmigrator. I think the system has already told you the whole story." Lu Renkui stepped forward and shook hands with Sen Ouling.

“Oh right, she told me it’s okay.” Sen Oling stood up somewhat nervously.

"That's good, as long as you don't mind," Lu Renkui smiled and asked again, "Do you need me to give your body back to you?"

"No need, you can continue using it," Sen Ouling said, shaking her head.

"Oh, okay... no, wait." Lu Renkui was a little surprised. "Really not? Aren't you afraid I'll take over your body and do some weird things?"

Hearing this, Sen Ouling laughed and said, "Since you've already said that, I don't think you'll do anything too outrageous."

“And…” Sen Ouling sat back on the bed with a touch of melancholy, picked up the little dog plushie and continued to stroke it, “I think I might not really want to face reality right now.”

“Uh…” Lu Renkui turned to look at the system WQBYRZM.

System WQBYRZM shrugged her hand and said, "Don't try to blame me. I've confirmed with her several times, and she says she doesn't want to face reality for the time being."

Lu Renkui then looked at Sen Ouling, who nodded, indicating that what the system WQBYRZM said was true.

Lu Renkui remembered that Sen Ouling had been subjected to cyberbullying and had once held a knife to his own neck, which made her understand why Sen Ouling did not want to control his body for the time being.

“Alright,” Lu Renkui said, turning around and walking out of the consciousness space. “If you want to escape reality for a while, then escape for a while. It’s not something shameful anyway. I’m leaving now.”

Opening her eyes and returning to the real world, Lu Renkui heard the staff member's voice: "Mr. Sen, we've arrived. You can get off the bus now."

Upon hearing this, Lu Renkui opened the car door and got out. Led by the staff, he arrived at his mission location—a milk tea shop.

"Mr. Sen, have you memorized everything on the task card?" the staff member asked.

Lu Renkui nodded and said, "Remember, make drinks for 100 guests without them recognizing you."

“Okay,” the staff member nodded, pointed to a set of clothes in the corner and said, “The uniform is over there, Ms. Mori can change into it.”

After saying that, the staff member left. Lu Renkui put on her uniform, asked the front desk staff for a baseball cap and a mask, and then began to write down how to make the best-selling drinks and the store's signature drinks.

It was morning, and there weren't many people at the milk tea shop. Lu Renkui wasn't in a hurry. After memorizing the drink ingredients, she started noting down their placement.
