With Mu Chen's help, Mingmei broke sales records again that evening regarding the purchase of boxed lunches.
Lu Gui and Lu Xiaoyao are definitely big spenders when it comes to spending money on in-game purchases. However, compared to Lu Xiaoyao's mindless spending, Lu Gui clearly thought about what kind of "lunch boxes" he needed before starting to buy them in large quantities.
For example, he bought five servings of the braised beef bento box that could reveal a person's relationships. He wasn't interested in the rare resources that came out of the braised pork knuckle, so he only bought one as a token purchase.
To be honest, Mingmei really didn't expect that Dong Lei and Sun Yunzhong would be so willing to lend money when Mu Chen was willing to lend it.
Based on their previous interactions, Dong Lei's family was just an ordinary family, and the amount she could manage each month was only her military service allowance. This time, she borrowed two thousand yuan from Mu Chen to buy boxed lunches, and Mingmei couldn't help but curse her uncle as a heartless businessman!
After selling a batch of boxed lunches on the black market, Mingmei closed her shop again and went to the underground boxing arena.
Mu Chen did not stop boxing because of what happened last night. When Mingmei went to the boxing ring today, she heard many people around her talking about Mu Chen, the number eighteen boxer.
Passerby A: "What did you all bet on today? I saw number 18 is here again."
Passerby B: "Right? I saw it too. They didn't get injured in any of the three games yesterday, and they look pretty good today too. They might win again."
Passerby C: "Tch, didn't you guys see who he was fighting today?"
Mingmei was also stunned for a moment. Holding the betting chips she had bought for the number 18, which had won all three games, she paused a bit more to listen to the conversation of those people and listen to their analysis.
"The first match is with boxer number three, that guy named Ole."
"Holy crap, why is he back to boxing again? Isn't he a slut...?"
Halfway through her sentence, Mingmei noticed the man's enigmatic expression return, while the others looked equally knowing, nodding in unison and shaking their heads with a sigh: "Number 18 is really unlucky, running into that jinx, Olay!"
Mingmei was a little confused after hearing this. From what she heard, she knew that the third boxer was difficult to deal with, but these people had to explain what this O'Lee did, right?
"Are the boxers in Ole's box really that good?"
Before Mingmei could ask, a woman shrouded in a black cloak spoke up. Mingmei and the group who had been chatting looked over, and one of them immediately recognized her and asked, "Is she new here?"
"Um."
The woman under the cloak nodded, and the passersby nodded in understanding, saying only, "Back when Olay was boxing, he was undefeated for a hundred days straight. In the end, he was recruited by the city lord of the underground city and stopped boxing."
Hearing the other person mention the dungeon lord, Mingmei couldn't help but think of the hybrid giant octopus she had seen on the black market streets a couple of days ago.
Is this so-called "outlet" someone recruited by that giant octopus?
Mingmei's thoughts were naturally the same as Hu Yue's. Hu Yue wanted to come to the boxing ring to check out the level of the boxers. As soon as she entered, she heard people around her talking. The most talked-about person was boxer number 18, who had won all three of his fights yesterday.
However, upon hearing that the third boxer was actually involved with high-ranking figures in the dungeon, attention inevitably turned to this Olay.
"Then why are you out boxing again?"
"Who knows? Maybe they haven't played in a while and miss it, so they'll give it a try—looking for some excitement, right?"
The audience was not too surprised by the sudden return of the boxer who had not fought for a long time; on the contrary, they were more expectant.
Compared to Mu Chen's almost fleeting brilliant performance yesterday, they were more inclined to believe that this undefeated legend could completely defeat Mu Chen.
Mingmei had lost interest in their excessive praise of contestant number three, Olay. After buying lunch boxes, Lu Xiaoyao and the others disappeared. Mingmei then made her own way towards the arena, hoping to be at the front of the stage to watch the match.
Incidentally, since the boxer named Olay had been recruited by the dungeon lord, Mingmei felt that this person was worth observing and investigating his interpersonal relationships.
...
"My god, bro, you're also doing underground boxing? Aren't you afraid of going up against the big shots?" Lu Xiaoyao's eyes nearly popped out of her head as she looked at her older brother filling out the boxer registration form.
"I submitted it today, and the earliest I can go on stage is tomorrow. It's not like we'll happen to be matched up." As Lu Gui explained, he glanced at Lu Xiaoyao, who looked like she only half understood, and said, "You've been in the dungeon for two days, tell me how many rules you've memorized?"
Lu Xiaoyao: 0.0
Is it really necessary to do this?
How could she remember?
Seeing Lu Xiaoyao like this, Lu Gui subconsciously rubbed his forehead. As he turned to leave with Lu Xiaoyao, he asked her in a low voice, "Are you like this when you're with Julian?"
"Where is the usual time? I'm busy to death every day in the Sixth Legion, and he's also incredibly busy at the Federal Military Academy. We hardly have any time to spend together. I actually miss the usual time!"
Thinking about this, Lu Xiaoyao suddenly realized how tough long-distance relationships really are _(：3」∠)_
Even though they can have close contact on the StarNet, they still hope to meet in person.
"That's good~" Lu Gui breathed a sigh of relief and murmured softly, "I was afraid that your true colors as a fool would be exposed by the other party, and that you would be easily manipulated by them in the future."
Lu Xiaoyao: ? ? ?
Are you my real brother?!
Just as Lu Xiaoyao's cheeks puffed up with anger and she was about to argue with her brother, she suddenly felt a tug on her arm, and the next second, her brother pulled her away from where she was.
