Looking up, there is a deep blue sky; underfoot, there is an endless expanse of brick-red sandy soil.

Standing beneath a pale yellow crescent moon, I marvel at the vastness of the cosmos, and how different the landscapes of different planets are.

If she had known, she shouldn't have stayed at home like a couch potato before her uncle forced her into military school; she should have traveled around instead.

Watching the mechs and warships occasionally streak across the deep blue sky, Mingmei once again withdrew her gaze, and obediently followed the other kitchen staff from the military base, carrying a bunch of nutrient solutions, back home.

Every now and then, I could hear the voices of several people talking.

"My God? Really? It was just a minor harassment by the Zerg, and the deputy commander is already coming to check it out?"

"The deputy commander was inspecting military bases on various peripheral planets recently, but we had a minor skirmish with the Zerg here a while ago, and someone was injured, so he came over immediately."

"To be honest, I'd rather see the Commander than Deputy Commander Mei Qiu's smiling face. It's so scary!"

Upon hearing that familiar name, Mingmei paused in her steps.

[Huh? What was our game name again?]

[Prelude to the Bloodbath.]

Is this based on my brother's adaptation of "Blood Wars in the Insect Cave" from over twenty years ago?

Mingmei was dumbfounded. She had just entered the game and was carrying supplies, "strolling" around the interstellar military base with an NPC when she overheard something!

Yes, that's right.

Pupil earthquake!

"Mingming, what's wrong?"

Several NPCs were chatting when they noticed their "colleague" standing next to them looking shocked and incredulous.

"No... I, well... I heard you mention Commander Mei Qiufu and I was a little surprised..."

Mingmei remembers that, although her brother's performance in that movie, which was heavily influenced by his personal heroism, was really cool.

However, the movie begins with him inspecting a military base, which is then attacked and destroyed by the Zerg.

In the ensuing great battle, even this asteroid was eventually destroyed.

[By the way, was this the base that exploded at the beginning of that movie?]

Gui Gui: [Host, may I compliment your good memory?]

Mingmei: "..."

Mingmei really wanted to swear.

She shouldn't have been so focused on the scenery when she came in; she should have paid more attention to the whole story in the game. Otherwise, she might have ended up being blown up like in the game.

Several NPC colleagues looked at Mingming's face and suddenly realized, saying, "Oh, this Mingming, don't be afraid. Although we've heard that Deputy Commander Mei Qiu is indeed quite a womanizer, he's a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. Don't be afraid."

Bright and cheerful: =. =

She is not afraid.

But this is the first time I've heard such things about her second brother in a game. It seems that her second brother is indeed quite—a womanizer?

Mingmei nodded perfunctorily to them and followed the group back to the base canteen. While preparing the dishes, Mingmei habitually asked Guigui to open Lu Xiaoyao's live stream.

Yes, she was certain that Lu Xiaoyao and she were in the same game.

Sure enough, as soon as the live stream opened, the screen was filled with a barrage of comments, and Lu Xiaoyao's starry eyes, which were not obscured by the comments, rushed into the bright view.

"Waaaaah! Oh my god! General Mei Qiu is so handsome! So damn handsome! He's even more handsome in person than in the movies!"

Behind Lu Xiaoyao lay a huge mecha, while she herself was earnestly gushing over her crush to the viewers in her live stream.

Seeing her like this, Mingmei knew that Lu Xiaoyao had already seen Meiqiu, and the live stream room went crazy as well.

[Holy crap! This game company is amazing! Did you guys see the official announcement?! This game is a collaboration with director Kevin Durant's "Insect Caverns"!]

[Aaaaaah! Regardless of any collaborations, honestly, seeing General Mei Qiu's face, I, a self-proclaimed "face-obsessed" fanatic, would die happy! That uniform, those legs, oh my god, that wicked and unrestrained smile! If he were even slightly less attractive, I wouldn't be able to pull it off!]

[Damn! Mei Qiu has been missing for over a decade, where are all these brainless fans?! It's disgusting that the game company is rehashing old content!]

[Get out! If you don't like what you've read, then get out!]

[Waaaaah, General Mei Qiu truly embodies my image of a domineering male lead in military novels! All those newcomers these days... are boring to look at and boring to be around, sigh~]

Soldiers are here to protect our country; why should they have any fancy external requirements?

[Yes, you people are just jealous!]

[Pah! He never explained how the entire Sigma Fortress base was wiped out before he disappeared. Have you all been brainwashed?!]

[It's clearly the Zerg's fault, but you insist that the general abandoned them for his own advancement! Can you please stop being so vicious, you keyboard warriors!]

[Exactly, if it weren't for General Mei Qiu guarding the rear, would you still be able to brag like this?]

Sure enough, wherever her second brother Mei Qiu went, the comments section exploded, and even Mingmei felt annoyed after watching it for too long.

However, Mingmei remembered that Lu Xiaoyao's live stream room was very strictly managed, and any provocative or inappropriate topics would be dealt with quickly. But today, it seemed to be very lenient.

"Ah, what a pity, I wasn't even born when General Mei Qiu was so awesome. Now... hahaha, I can finally experience it for myself!" Lu Xiaoyao put her hands on her hips and laughed wildly: "This time, I will definitely do my best to complete the mission!"
