Just as everyone was panting, they saw Mu Chen, who had previously strayed from the group and was unhappy with the gorilla's roar, slowly walking towards them with a lunchbox.
Then, right in front of everyone, he spoon-fed himself the seafood risotto. (www.cascoo.net)
The rich, orange-yellow sauce coated the glistening rice, and scallops, shrimp, and other seafood were all eaten together with it. Even though Mu Chen didn't have the habit of smacking his lips, everyone watching him eat his lunchbox couldn't help but automatically add sound effects to his chewing in their minds.
"Slurp!"
A loud slurping sound stood out amidst the quiet crowd of onlookers.
Mu Chen looked down and saw Lu Xiaoyao; she was practically drooling.
He pursed his lips, the upturned corners revealing his good mood. Then he looked up and glanced at the others, asking, "Do you want to eat there too?"
"Um."
A group of people nodded in agreement. Mu Chen nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the side. Only then did everyone realize that there was actually a "stall" in the blind spot that had been blocked by the other person's standing position!
There was a pile of coconut water on the left and a pile of boxed lunches on the right. The stall owner was very pretty and looked familiar.
"Boss, one of each of these two types of boxed meals, and coconut water included?"
Wang Wenfei was the first to come up. Compared to the previous times, Wang Wenfei's gaze towards Mingmei was much more normal this time. However, Wang Wenfei's reaction was also much faster.
Before the system notification even sounded, Wang Wenfei secretly winked at him as he was ordering the boxed lunch.
It seems she recognized him?
Wang Wenfei... Mingmei's heart tightened subconsciously, but she remained calm on the surface and did not wink at her to show anything. She simply nodded and agreed to buy two boxed lunches and give away coconut juice.
Seeing that Wang Wenfei had recognized her, Mingmei could only glare at Lu Xiaoyao secretly, feeling disappointed in her.
Look at her, and look at you, Lu Xiaoyao!
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoyao suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She looked around suspiciously, but when she saw nothing dangerous, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, she and the other players came to buy boxed lunches with the intention of enjoying the food, but unexpectedly, a surprise came from the sky. The person in front of them was actually a mysterious merchant!
In an instant, everyone turned to look at Mu Chen with gratitude in their eyes. Mu Chen simply nodded politely, and then gave Ming Mei a kind yet alluring smile.
[See that?! See that?! If this isn't love!]
Then I don't exist!
[Waaaaah, this guy is so nice! He even went up to help the businesswoman promote her lunchbox!]
Yes, yes, even my kid needs to buy lunchboxes this time. I'm really—shedding a tear of bitterness!
[Who says otherwise? Look at the kid, in which round of the game can he buy a lunchbox on the first wave? And even if he does, it's useless!]
[I wonder if the kid bought the wrong thing again?]
[Shut up! No milk!]
While the viewers in the live chat were worried that she might have bought the wrong thing, Lu Xiaoyao's eyes lit up when she realized that the "NPC" standing in front of her, who looked eight parts like her classmate, was actually the mysterious merchant. Before she could even say what she wanted to buy, she grabbed Mingmei's hand and said, "I knew it! Meimei, you can protect me wherever you are!"
Mingmei: "..."
Is this how the word "bless" is used?
Mu Chen: "..."
Can you just talk and not resort to violence?
Wang Wenfei: ? ? ?
Others: ? ? ? ?
"What...why would you like to buy, sir?" Mingmei asked Lu Xiaoyao with a forced smile, using considerable force to pull her hand away from Lu Xiaoyao's.
"Oh, wait a minute, let me see... give me six servings of seafood risotto!" Lu Xiaoyao said smugly. "Each meal reduces stress points by 10. Wouldn't it be stupid if I didn't just buy six and eat them until her stress level returned to normal?"
"Idiot Number One" Mu Chen: =. =
Wang Wenfei, nicknamed "Fool Number Two": ...
The other players who are about to be "fools": ...
“Coconut chicken is also good…” Mingmei felt that Lu Xiaoyao’s suggestion was inappropriate.
"Then, one coconut chicken and five seafood risottos?" Lu Xiaoyao glanced at the others beside her and saw that everyone was looking at her with a knowing look. After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiaoyao decided to buy both just in case.
"Isn't five servings of seafood risotto a bit too much?" Mingmei still reminded her.
"No, I can still finish it if I try my best. I can just divide it into two or three meals."
Since Lu Xiaoyao had said that, Mingmei naturally had nothing more to say.
Although the boxed lunches weren't expensive, Mingmei remembered that Lu Xiaoyao hadn't earned many credits in the last round, and now she was throwing away 3 credits right away. Didn't she feel any pain at all?
The remaining players were somewhat affected by what Lu Xiaoyao said.
So, after everyone bought a coconut chicken bento box, Charlie also grabbed three boxes of the tempting seafood risotto that could reduce stress.
After careful consideration, Madison, Julian, and Lou Jia each bought only one box of seafood risotto.
Since it's a welfare program, and the credits are easy to obtain, it's better to spend less and save them up. There's no need to buy it just because it's cheap.
It's time to eat our boxed lunches.
A group of people sat under the shade of a tree, enjoying the sea breeze, and began their first meal of the day.
Some people who prefer milder flavors start with coconut chicken, such as Wang Wenfei, Lou Jia, and Madison.
