"What's your relationship with me?"
Lu Xiaoyao suddenly felt that her eyes couldn't keep up, especially when Mingmei took the initiative to stand next to the fake fan NPC.
Good heavens! There's a "bright and beautiful" on the left and another "bright and beautiful" on the right. Lu Xiaoyao thought to herself, "This game company is toxic!"
Even if your company bought the right to use someone's image, this is not how you should use it, is it?
Are you kidding me?
"It's nothing~ It's just a coincidence." Before Mingmei could even speak, the fake fan NPC had already spoken up to clarify.
She turned to look at Mingmei beside her, smiled, and said, "Perhaps this is what it means that all beauties look the same?"
Mingmei: "??" Is that how you interpret it?
Everyone: "..." Why does this sound so strange?
"Maybe this is fate." Seeing everyone's dumbfounded expressions, Mingmei imitated the tone of the fake food NPC and said, "We're all selling food, what a coincidence."
"Yes...what a coincidence."
Charlie, holding his freshly made hot pot lunchbox, glanced at Mingmei and the others. Then he turned to look at the three lunchboxes in Mu Chen's hand, then at his own. After a moment's thought, he gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said, "Um, can I buy another lunchbox from your place to try?"
As soon as Charlie finished speaking, he heard a notification sound from his game that he had already purchased a boxed lunch once, and the next one would be available in six hours.
Mingmei: "..."
Lian Mingmei then realized that whether she bought the boxed lunch from the fake NPC or from herself, after buying or refusing it once, the next time would have a six-hour countdown, and this applied to all characters.
Charlie then told Lou Jia and Lu Xiaoyao about his situation.
"Hey! It turns out it was a game bug, and two mysterious merchants appeared!"
Lu Xiaoyao made the final decision, turning the simultaneous appearance of Mingmei and the fake fan NPC into a game bug, or the mysterious merchant "breaking down" on his own.
Mingmei: I'm really screwed up! Don't I know whether I'm screwed up or not?!
Bullet comments:
For a moment, I didn't know whether to call my son smart or stupid.
Her wisdom was never used for good.
Can wisdom that isn't applied to the right path truly be called wisdom?!
Well, the most important thing in life is to be happy. Anyway—it's the kids who get ruined by games, not us!
If it weren't for the exclamation mark at the end, I would have actually believed it...
If Lu Xiaoyao hadn't been talking about herself, Mingmei would have almost believed it too.
"Hurry up and eat. After dinner, we'll go into the building and investigate who this murderer really is." Lou Jia glanced at the two police officers who really didn't want to get involved at all, feeling helpless. He even took the initiative to cue the rest of the game process himself.
After speaking, he squatted down on the ground without any regard for his image and began to eat the so-called "maocai" boxed meal.
Mu Chen and Li Yuan exchanged a glance but said nothing more, continuing to eat their spicy hot pot meals. The air was filled with a strong aroma that was hard to tell whether it was maocai or mala tang.
Unable to resist the aroma, Mingmei also grabbed a boxed lunch and started eating.
"Why are you eating this too?" The fake NPC standing nearby was stunned to see Mingmei eating a boxed lunch. "Isn't this stealing from someone else?"
Mingmei: "?"
What kind of description is this?
"How many boxed lunches did you bring to sell?"
While eating her own boxed lunch, Mingmei brainwashed the NPCs.
"About twenty or so."
"Will they sell out?"
"cannot."
What do we do with the unsold stock?
"..."
She really didn't know that; it should become data recycling when a game ends, right?
"So, if we can't sell them all, we might as well eat them ourselves instead of wasting them!"
"Huh? Is this okay?"
Mingming looked at her own face and found it quite strange that she had such a cute and silly expression on it.
However, she herself probably didn't look that stupid, right?
"Of course! If you eat it, you'll solve the waste problem! Mmm!" As she spoke, Mingmei bit into a fish ball with filling, and was scalded by the sweet and juicy juice that burst out inside. Then, a broth with the aroma of meat slid down her throat and into her stomach.
"tasty!"
Whether it was the players' mukbang videos that inspired them, or the sight of Mingmei eating a boxed lunch up close that spurred them on, the fake NPC followed suit and grabbed a boxed lunch of spicy hot pot, as if he had discovered a whole new world.
Seeing the host leading the NPC astray, Gui Gui felt conflicted.
"It's so delicious~" The fake rice NPC squinted his eyes happily.
"Right?"
"Yeah, it's only slightly better than mala tang (a type of spicy hot pot)."
Bright and beautiful: ? ? ? ?
"I think we need to talk about something when they're discussing the case later." Mingmei, whose parents "started their business" with spicy hot pot, felt that something was off about what the NPC was saying!
...
"The deceased, Shu Chuan, 24 years old, male, the richest man in M City, was attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony of his group's newly built skyscraper when he was suddenly hit by a flowerpot falling from the sky and died on the spot. The incident occurred at 12:30 pm. There were four suspects present."
When Lou Jia mentioned the four suspects, Lu Xiaoyao glared at him again.
"Four suspects, please briefly describe your identities and where you were and what you were doing during the six hours before the incident and the time of the incident."
