As time went by, Mingmei spent most of her time outside these days, except for the mornings and evenings when she was in her apartment.
By telling her the locations of other players when they buy lunch boxes from her, Mingmei constantly changes locations to sell lunch boxes to as many people as possible.
While selling boxed lunches, some talkative players naturally shared the information they knew with Mingmei. Different roles saw different worlds and knew different things.
After listening to a lot of people, Mingmei realized that much of the information was basically useless and consisted mostly of complaining.
Student A: "I just don't understand. What's the use of someone like me, a greenhouse grower? If space pirates come, am I supposed to just throw some fertilizer or scatter some seeds? What kind of character is this game designed?"
Student B: "I can't really describe my role. I'm just a lazy bum who spends all day online. The thing is, to fit the character's description, my job as a media person is to be online for eight hours straight. Please, have mercy on me. I don't even like going online normally, let alone staring at a computer screen on my phone. I'm about to throw up."
Student C: "Sigh, with your roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) being so delicious, I, as a cook, am so ashamed I could die. I don't know how someone who cooks so badly could be a cook..."
In short, with over a hundred students and over a hundred different roles, Mingmei has, if not all of them, encountered at least fifty in the past half month.
However, what made Mingmei somewhat uneasy was that ten days had passed since Mu Chen last appeared.
That night, when Mu Chen appeared in front of Mingmei's door with his tool bag and immediately bought six high-quality roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) sets, Mingmei sensed that something was wrong.
Before she could even ask Mu Chen what had happened, he confessed that he had told her about it after eating a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) at her place.
"I think I've found evidence of space pirates invading ancient Blue Star."
How did you find out?
“Signal, network intrusion, they…” When she said this, Mingmei clearly noticed that Mu Chen hesitated, as if there were still some things he himself was not sure about.
After that, Mu Chen stopped talking and only said that he might not be as free as he was now and would have to investigate more things.
After saying that, Mu Chen left with the other five roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers) he had bought. Mingmei had a lot to say, but in the end, she just stood at the door and said in the direction he left, "Be careful."
Standing at the elevator entrance, Mu Chen heard Mingmei's words, glanced back in the direction she was standing, smiled slightly, and left her with a reassuring message: "We'll meet again..."
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye?
That evening, as usual, Mingmei carried her insulated backpack and braved the heavy snow to walk back to her apartment. Right at the entrance of the apartment building, she saw Zhenpo wearing a windproof and snowproof coat. Zhenpo stood there with her hands in her pockets, pacing back and forth.
"Oh, you're finally back!"
When Zhen Po saw Mingmei appear, she was incredibly excited!
She let out a loud yell, and Mingmei clearly saw that the lights in several apartments on the building suddenly turned on.
"Ahem, what's the matter? Let's go inside and talk."
Seeing Zhen Po standing downstairs waiting for her attracted the curiosity of many people. Mingmei tugged at her hat and stepped forward to lead her into the building.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to buy two more roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers)."
However, Zhen Po clearly had no intention of talking any longer and quickly finished explaining her purpose for coming.
Hearing this, Mingmei was completely speechless.
All this commotion just for roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)?
"I thought something had happened. You weren't in such a hurry to buy it before."
"That was before. Now... these space pirates can come at any time. Where am I supposed to find you then? I have to stock up on food as soon as possible."
Zhen Po and the others didn't know when the space pirates would invade, but judging from the rumors they'd heard recently, the atmosphere around them seemed to have changed.
"You're quite proactive."
Mingmei did some careful calculations in her mind, and it seemed that there was indeed less than a week left before the space pirates would invade.
According to the original history.
Mingmei didn't want to believe that the space pirates would invade a week later, but considering the historical timeline and what Mu Chen, who hadn't shown up for a long time, had mentioned last time, perhaps this time it would be postponed?
Even earlier?
"Of course we'd be enthusiastic about this! Okay, three copies it is!"
When Mingmei brought the backpack to her, Zhen Po's eyes lit up instantly, and she even changed the two she had just wanted to buy to three.
"I remember you didn't have many points left, did you?"
Mingmei remembered that when Zhen Po and Lu Xiaoyao compared scores before, Zhen Po had a score of over 100. But since entering the store, plus the three portions today, Zhen Po has bought ten roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) portions.
He's not starving.
This roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) has a built-in buff that makes one meal enough for three days; this guy is just a glutton!
"Um, it's alright, it's alright... right?"
Feeling guilty, Zhen Po silently calculated how many points she had lost. Then she thought of the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). She had just been feeling bad about her score, but now she had forgotten about it.
"It's okay, the score will come back once you beat the game!"
I don't know if I was saying this to comfort myself or to comfort Mingmei.
In short, Zhen Po left satisfied with the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). Ming Mei turned and went upstairs, but before she could take out her keys to open the door, the door next door opened.
