"How did your brother... get involved with a girl like that?"
Mingmei felt like she had discovered some incredible gossip, so she asked Lu Xiaoyao, who was arguing with Jian Yunhe, in the private chat channel.
"She's just wishful thinking~ Humph!" Lu Xiaoyao felt suffocated just thinking about it.
Wasn't it because her brother accompanied his grandfather to visit various families during winter vacation and met all the elders in their circle?
Although her grandfather had previously held a birthday party for her brother and introduced him to the bigwigs as the heir of the Lu family, that was only a one-sided meeting from afar. In private, her brother still had to follow her around more to let everyone see his strength.
pity--
Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Gui never expected that they would be entangled with Jian Yunhe.
Speaking of which, wasn't that Finance Minister Jian just making a joke with his grandfather?
Even her brother didn't take it seriously, so why did the other party?
Given Lu Xiaoyao's character, she couldn't possibly finish complaining about this kind of thing in a short time, so she told Mingmei that she would talk about it later, since she hadn't even taught Jian Yunhe a lesson yet!
"I'm not like some people who lack self-awareness!" Lu Xiaoyao continued arguing with Jian Yunhe. "Everything is about first come, first served. You think you're right to steal kills?"
"Is that bug yours? It ran away and you didn't stop it, what else is there to say?" The arresting officer was not at all defiant, and naturally she had something to say in rebuttal to what Lu Xiaoyao said.
But Hu Yue wasn't happy with her rebuttal, saying, "What do you mean we didn't stop them? If you hadn't suddenly fired armor-piercing rounds without saying a word, would this have happened? Luckily, my classmate blocked them, otherwise we would have been the ones suffering! The bugs hadn't escaped yet, right? You had mechs right next to you and you couldn't wait to attack, completely disregarding whether we would be injured or killed. Is that what you call politeness?"
"Is it because you're not skilled enough to kill the black beetles that you won't let others take action? Do you expect us to wait until you're dead before we make our move?"
On the other side, besides Jian Yunhe, someone else spoke up; it was one of the boys from the black mechs that had just killed the black beetle.
"Are you cursing us? Pui pui pui pui!" Lu Xiaoyao was furious when she heard this "die or not" nonsense. When did it become her teammates' place to talk about "die or not"?
"That's not what we meant. I just felt that since you said it was based on strength, you should at least have the ability to discern the situation, right? To mistake someone else's advantageous position for a disadvantageous one and then attack them..."
Sun Yunzhong then spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone even, but he emphasized the last word "mistakenly believed" very heavily.
Surely someone with high ability isn't blind?
After Sun Yunzhong finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the nearby chat channel, but it was eventually interrupted by Jian Yunhe's words.
The way that person acted as if they were in charge made Mingmei curious about their identity.
"What's the background of the Jian family that argued with Lu Xiaoyao?"
Mingmei whispered to Mu Chen.
"The Jian family is one of the oldest noble families in the empire, and the heads of the family have been the empire's finance ministers for generations."
"Wow!"
Mingmei opened her eyes wide. "The Finance Minister!"
Does this position sound like it's hereditary?
"Hereditary?"
"No, it's based on strength." Mu Chen didn't really know how to explain this, as he only had a partial understanding of it.
The position of the Empire's Minister of Finance is by no means hereditary, but it is quite remarkable that the Jian family has always held this position.
"Judging from their tone, they must be direct descendants of the Jian family."
"Oh~" Mingmei nodded slightly. A noble family with a long history. Although the argument between the other party and Lu Xiaoyao seemed mindless, if the other party was really that mindless, it would be impossible for the whole team to listen to her, right?
"We were too hasty just now, but if you value a bug so much, why don't you come with us? We'll give you one later."
Mingmei felt uneasy about the trap in Jian Yunhe's words. Did she mean to turn them into her followers?
What do you mean?
Lu Xiaoyao frowned deeply. Before anyone else could speak, he blurted out, "You mean you want us to be your lackeys?!"
"Is there a problem? Wasting time here over a bug shows your lack of perspective. If you had spent this time arguing with us over a stupid bug, you could have killed many more bugs by now."
Jian Yunhe's words were a direct mockery of them for being incompetent enough to "extort money" over a bug, while they were being "kindly" given a bug by Aunt Yun.
The prerequisite is that they have to obey.
Who do you think you are?!
Lu Xiaoyao was so angry that if her mecha wasn't so weak, she would have rushed up and punched the other party!
hateful!
"With so many of us, our abilities are naturally considerable; what's the big deal about a mere insect..."
"Wait a moment."
Mingmei called out to Lu Xiaoyao, and if Lu Xiaoyao continued, it would probably end up as, "Oh, so you're just talking about a mere bug? Then what are you all arguing about?"
No matter what they say on this issue, they are always the ones who suffer losses.
Therefore, no one else spoke, but Lu Xiaoyao spoke too quickly, so Mingmei had no choice but to speak up.
“This isn’t just about a bug,” Mingmei said, setting aside the issue of the black beetle as the first point of their argument.
"In the game, the Zerg represent points, and everyone strives for those points. It's definitely frustrating to have your points stolen. However—"
As Mingmei spoke, she changed the subject, "Outside the game, the number of Zerg kills does indeed represent merit. On the battlefield, soldiers inevitably have to fight hard against the Zerg in order to earn merit."
