Enraged by Lu Xiaoyao, Mingmei couldn't help but let out a soft, angry laugh.

She suddenly understood the scene from her childhood where her mother chased her and her sister with a stick, laughing.

It turns out, some people really did laugh out loud!

Quite a few soldiers came to the canteen for lunch in the afternoon, since not everyone finishes their work at the same time. Mingmei didn't see Lu Xiaoyao, but she did see another familiar face.

Julian's classmate, Charlie.

"Hmm? Your window's style is a bit different from everyone else's~"

Charlie passed by the food preparation and nutrient solution windows, and finally saw the food in the corner, served in an exquisite wooden lunchbox. It looked delicious.

"Yes~ Would you like to try some?"

Bright and charming, she revealed a professional, fake smile.

She didn't consider her smile to be ferocious.

"Hmm..."

Suddenly, seeing the boy in front of her fall silent, Mingmei's heart tightened, and she thought to herself: Could this... could this also be a "fool" like Lu Xiaoyao?

"Okay, can I take it all with me?"

Charlie hesitated for a moment before agreeing, his breathy manner startling Mingmei.

Just after Charlie agreed, the system notification that a mysterious merchant had been discovered made Charlie's eyes widen in surprise.

"What?! You...you..."

Charlie said, "This lunchbox looks familiar. Why does a voice in my head keep telling me to buy it? Buy it!"

Is it really okay not to buy it?

"Sir, which type of boxed meal would you like to buy?"

Mingmei was clearly pleased by the other party's performance.

That's right, a mysterious merchant like her should make players' eyes light up when they see her!

It's not like what netizens are saying, that he was chasing after Lu Xiaoyao!

"Let me see."

Charlie didn't say directly that he needed both. He wanted to see which boxed meals the mysterious merchant had sold. Mingmei didn't urge him. In the end, Charlie quietly said, "One of each of the two boxed meals will do."

In the end, Charlie accepted both portions. After taking the lunchboxes, Mingmei glanced at Charlie's hurried departure and seemed to sense something.

[Hey, switch to Charlie's livestream for me.]

Charlie, who had just received the bright and cheerful lunchbox, didn't quietly put away his superficial smile until he returned to his logistics office.

Then, as if remembering her live stream, she added, "So busy, I only had time to get food~"

As he spoke, he put the crayfish boxed meal aside and started eating another boxed meal of shredded pork with garlic sauce.

【Huh? Why aren't they eating crayfish?】

Some viewers in the live chat noticed something was off about Charlie after he bought the boxed lunch.

[They were probably disgusted by crayfish, right?]

Why buy it then?

You still have to eat it when it's absolutely necessary, right?

Charlie's live stream wasn't very popular, not much better than Madison, who had been lying in a medical pod in a vegetative state.

Because of the job he was assigned, Charlie was constantly busy with logistics, and there was very little time for him to communicate or interact with others.

Viewers who can patiently watch Charlie's show are those who have divided their screens into several parts, ensuring everyone gets a share and not missing any of the live streams; they are detail-oriented viewers who love to nitpick.

But he hasn't opened the lunchbox since he bought it!

Mingmei also saw a comment on the live stream. After she handed the lunchbox to the other person, Mingmei had been waiting in his live stream for a while.

Indeed, because of Lu Xiaoyao's previous reaction, Mingmei covered the lunchbox to prevent scaring away the later players. From the time he traded with her until he took it away, Mingmei was certain that he had never opened the lunchbox.

As for whether Mingmei missed anything in the middle, no one else in the live stream saw it.

Mingmei was a little puzzled by Julian's performance. Meanwhile, on the other side, Madison's live stream, which had previously received little attention, was experiencing a surge in popularity again due to Meiqiu's appearance. Guigui also reminded Mingmei that Madison's live stream was worth paying attention to.

Mingmei silently instructed Guigui to mark Charlie as someone to pay close attention to, and then went directly to Madison's live stream room, where he had obtained the identity card that had been injured in the previous battle with the Zerg.

"Xia He, are you implying that you suspect the attack on the base was caused by an inside agent?"

Mei Qiu stood in front of the medical pod; at this moment, only Xia He and Mei Qiu were inside the room.

"yes……"

When Madison got the role, he was startled by the speculations in the other person's memories while sorting through their memories.

How terrifying is it that Zerg have infiltrated a military base?

Sure enough, just as Madison was startled, the live stream was in complete chaos.

Holy crap! Don't scare me!

How could there be Zerg spies at a military base, especially a border fortress?

"Aren't there machines that can verify this? How is that possible?"

[No, didn't this player also say he had suspicions? Because he couldn't find conclusive evidence, but he sensed that information from inside the base was being leaked out!]

Remember that lunchbox?! The crayfish lunchbox—doesn't that prove there really are bugs in this farm?!

[Oh!! Right, right, right! That lunchbox! Damn! Has this game so blatantly implied that the sudden collapse of Sigmar Fortress was due to Zerg infiltrators?]

[Where's the evidence?! Aren't the game company afraid of being sued?]

[Xia He! I remember now! This guy was the mecha genius from our Empire's Third Military Academy back in the day! Holy crap! He was here too!]
