"OMG!!!"
The moment Lu Xiaoyao received the lunchbox, she screamed!
What is luck?
That's what you call luck!
She, Lu Xiaoyao, is the chosen one in the game!
She just happened to encounter the "mysterious businessman" so casually!
What's your name?
Before they could even ask the suspects present for information, everyone heard Lu Xiaoyao, who had just wandered out without them noticing, making a fuss outside the building. Everyone rushed over upon hearing the noise.
Then I saw Lu Xiaoyao holding a boxed lunch and looking incredibly excited.
"Boxed lunches! Do you want some? They're delicious!"
Lu Xiaoyao not only bought some for herself, but also tried her best to persuade others to buy the boxed lunches. Lou Jia stared at the Sun and Moon Boxed Lunch stall for a long time before finally giving in.
I absolutely have to buy this; my gut tells me I should buy things from the game!
Even Charlie, who didn't get along well with Lu Xiaoyao, vaguely felt that he should buy a boxed lunch.
This time, selling three boxed meals at once made the fake food NPC so happy that his smile became even more genuine.
[Oh no, oh no, the kid single-handedly carried the whole thing!]
[Mom! Someone save them! My God, this is going to be a disaster!]
[Help! Don't listen to my kid's nonsense, run!]
Why don't these people learn their lesson?! Do they even listen to my son?!
...
Whether the comments were crazy or not, Mingmei didn't know, but having witnessed everything, she was now filled with a frenzy of "mythical beasts" scrolling through the screen.
Why?
Why is it that Lu Xiaoyao always manages to avoid being approached by someone else when they try to sell her lunchboxes, but when it's someone else, even if it's her own face, Lu Xiaoyao falls for it?!
Before Mingmei could even voice her true feelings, Guigui had already sensed her inner turmoil and added insult to injury: "Perhaps, this is just a matter of character."
Bright and beautiful: ?
“This person selling boxed lunches looks familiar…” Unlike Charlie and Lou Jia who immediately agreed, Li Yuan looked at the boxed lunch stall with a hint of suspicion, then looked at Mu Chen with a puzzled expression.
Li Yuan: This is your partner's face. Do you have any comments on this NPC?
Mu Chen merely glanced at him, then lowered his eyes and said he wasn't hungry.
There was absolutely no intention to say anything else.
Then, following his intuition and relying on his strong survival instinct, Li Yuan decided to go all the way with Mu Chen!
Even though Charlie and Lou Jia kept winking at him to buy it, he ultimately chose the same reason as Mu Chen—he wasn't hungry, so he wouldn't eat or buy it.
"It's okay, if you're not hungry now, you can buy it later."
The fake NPC spoke gently, showing no sign of anger, which actually made Lu Xiaoyao feel a little guilty.
"This mysterious merchant NPC is so gentle, even more so than my best friend~" Lu Xiaoyao sighed softly.
Viewers in the live stream: [...]
Ming Lu Xiaoyao's best friend Mei: ...
hehe.
While the three were engrossed in eating, only Li Yuan noticed the annoyance and impatience that flashed in Mu Chen's eyes when he looked at the NPC selling boxed lunches.
Is there a problem?
Although Li Yuan was a bit timid, when it came to academic credits, he spoke fluently and readily when Mu Chen struck up a conversation.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired and wanted to walk around. This corpse is lying there unattended, it'll start to rot soon."
Mu Chen left with an excuse that even a fool wouldn't believe, leaving Li Yuan completely bewildered and clueless about what he was talking about.
Mu Chen left Lu Xiaoyao and the others, and after walking a few steps, he turned a corner with a visual illusion and saw Mingmei.
The Mingming boxed lunch stall next to Mingmei was also very eye-catching. The murderous aura that Mu Chen had been faintly emanating from his body disappeared instantly when he saw her. His smile was like a spring breeze, and his whole demeanor became relaxed when facing Mingmei.
"I thought you weren't playing this round."
Mu Chen took two steps forward and stopped in front of Mingmei, his tone slightly aggrieved. He lowered his head and stared straight at her as he asked, "I'm hungry. Excuse me, may I buy your boxed lunch?"
At that moment, that familiar sound of a lunchbox rang in his ears once again—[Ding—Congratulations, player, you have discovered a mysterious merchant. Please trade lunchboxes within the limited time limit~ You will receive a correct message after eating them~]
"Okay, fresh and delicious mala tang boxed meals, how many would you like, sir?"
Mingmei's eyes crinkled instantly; she was quite pleased that the person in front of her could tell at a glance that she and the other person were not the same person.
"Three copies, please." Mu Chen looked at the prompt that each copy was worth 2 credits and that the maximum number of copies he could get was three, so he simply went for the maximum.
"Okay."
Mingmei packed three bowls of rice and three servings of spicy hot pot with a good mix of meat and vegetables and handed them to the other person. As Mu Chen took the lunchbox, he asked, "By the way, what's going on over there?"
"It's fake." Mingmei got angry the moment she mentioned the imposter, pouting, "She's certainly diligent!"
"It's alright, I'll have Li Yuan come over later." Mu Chen freed one hand and patted Mingmei's head, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "Are you going to show yourself in front of Lu Xiaoyao and the others?"
Is it necessary?
"Yes." Mu Chen's smile held a hint of mischievous amusement. Ming Mei quickly understood and said, "You want them to regret it? To cry their eyes out?"
"That's good, but you can also go later. It's shady here now, so you can go in and sell boxed lunches to them when everyone is analyzing cases in the building later."
