When it comes to buying boxed lunches, Lu Xiaoyao will never be number one.
Even if Wang Wenfei had been with her before, it wouldn't have been possible.
Wang Wenfei brought Lu Xiaoyao over in the morning, but when she came back in the afternoon, she was alone again.
At that moment, as soon as Wang Wenfei entered the restaurant, she saw Mu Chen standing in front of Mingmei, who was already holding two boxed lunches.
"You...you didn't get off the bus to search for spirit stones?"
"Aren't you one too?"
Despite all being people who were supposed to get off the bus to find spirit stones, they all appeared here by chance. Wang Wenfei's suspicious gaze did not cause Mu Chen any tension.
Mu Chen was very open and honest. He then asked Mingmei for a glass of honey water, to which Mingmei smiled and agreed.
Seeing this, Wang Wenfei was already wondering how likely Mu Chen was just buying the lunchbox because of the NPC's face. But when Mingmei saw her staring at her blankly, she couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what would you like to order?"
The bright voice drew Wang Wenfei's attention back. Wang Wenfei immediately looked away and mumbled an "uh-huh" before turning her attention back to Mingmei and saying, "I want to buy some boxed lunches."

As the system notification sounded, Wang Wenfei's furrowed brows relaxed, and she focused on analyzing the notes on the lunchboxes—well, she'd better buy them all.
Then she glanced at Mu Chen, who was sitting there eating his boxed lunch, and who hadn't left.
The two lunchboxes he was holding had different patterns, and he seemed to have eaten the one with the reinforced seal—duck blood and tofu stew—first. (cascoo.net)
Since the other party chose to strengthen the seal, Wang Wenfei thought for a moment. At least, she could trust Mu Chen now.
After ordering two boxed meals, Wang Wenfei ate them at the restaurant before leaving.
She started by eating the braised pork ribs boxed rice. The ribs were savory and fragrant, and the side dishes were dried green beans soaked in the broth and versatile potatoes.
The soft, powdery potatoes crumbled easily when poked with chopsticks, and when coated in rice, they were soft, powdery, and sticky. With the sauce from the braised pork ribs, Wang Wenfei didn't even notice the warning sound from the lunchbox about the murderer the moment she took a bite.
After she had completely mixed the potatoes into the rice, and finished the whole meal with a single chopstick of rice, meat, and green beans, she let out a soft burp and then remembered why she had eaten the boxed lunch in the first place.
They are of different genders.
With a loud bang, Wang Wenfei was startled by the notification sound. Mingmei, who was exchanging glances with Mu Chen, was also startled by her sudden outburst.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Chen looked at Wang Wenying, but Wang Wenfei looked up and saw that the other woman was also eating her braised pork ribs lunchbox, so she asked, "What's your hint?"
"And you?"
Mu Chen did not answer her question. Instead, he looked seriously at Wang Wenfei, who was picking up her chopsticks: "If you're going to exchange information, you should at least show your sincerity."
“They are of different genders.” Wang Wenfei pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke up what she knew.
"Oh, then at least the murderers were a group, two or more people, and there were both men and women involved."
Mu Chen deduced the hidden content in Wang Wenfei's hint, and then added, "In that case, the two of them might not be very effective at guarding the seal anymore. What if they are both murderers? Wouldn't that just leave the seal there for someone to break?"
After Mu Chen finished speaking, he saw Wang Wenfei go to Mingmei to get a new pair of chopsticks, and then take out the tofu and duck blood stew. She was immediately choked by the spicy tofu and duck blood stew.
Wang Wenfei's eyes reddened as she swallowed her food and said, "Don't worry, we'll eat a few more of these boxed meals."
Mu Chen chuckled softly, "They will not only kill teachers, but they will also kill us."
"Um?"
“My hint.” Mu Chen didn’t have the habit of mixing his rice with the vegetables while eating his boxed lunch. He ate one bite of vegetables and one bite of rice, and said, “My hint is that they will not only kill teachers, but also students who are alone.”
While watching Mu Chen and Wang Wenfei's conversation, Mingmei's attention shifted back to Lu Xiaoyao and Madison, who were guarding the seal in the live stream.
From the moment she started looking at it, Lu Xiaoyao’s bright, lively eyes kept casting suspicious glances at Madison.
Annoyed, Madison looked at Lu Xiaoyao helplessly and said, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"What if you, the murderer, act secretly?"
"What did I do? You need evidence to accuse someone of being the murderer, right?"
"Well, nobody knows who the murderer is right now, and I can't completely trust you. I trust you, but I don't trust my own luck. I've always been unlucky; who knows, I might just run into the murderer!"
Lu Xiaoyao stared wide-eyed at the other person, but shrank back defensively, making Madison shake his head.
They've brought up something as mysterious as luck, what can you say about that?
“I don’t look like a murderer at all, and besides, I haven’t done anything to arouse suspicion, have I?” Madison was suspicious of Lu Xiaoyao’s unfounded suspicions. After staring at Lu Xiaoyao for a while, he suddenly asked, “Did someone say something to you?”
"No, nobody said anything. What's wrong with me having some doubts? Why are you so anxious?"
The more flustered and denying Lu Xiaoyao's behavior, the more suspicious Madison became. After staring at Lu Xiaoyao for a long time and seeing that she was ignoring him again, Madison turned his gaze elsewhere and silently looked around the room where his teacher had died.
The comments section was filled with debate about the dialogue and performance of the two individuals.
