"Want some boxed lunches?"
The topic that Da Yao started was killed off by one or two people, and it was at this moment that Mingmei suddenly asked this question.
Before you know it, it's time for all players to buy their lunch boxes again.
"eat!"
This time, the players were quite decisive and eager to start a trade with Mingmei. However, when they saw the purpose of the lunchbox again, a group of them hesitated.
Whether it was because they felt guilty or something else, among the remaining players, only Zhen Hu, who played the hunter, bought both boxes, while the others only chose one box.
Some people didn't even buy a single box.
That's right, it's the Yao ethnic group.
In this round, she didn't buy either of the two boxes, while Julian and Zhen Po, who were left to buy one box of lunch, both avoided the braised pork rice that could make them dream.
The Soul-Stirring Braised Pork Rice – After consuming it, the eater may dream of beautiful dreams that are the opposite of reality and will never come true in reality.
Sure enough, Zhen Po, who said she had no demands just a second ago, refused the braised pork boxed rice the next second. What else could this be but a guilty conscience?
Mingmei glanced at the people who avoided the braised pork rice and sighed inwardly: So, what kind of mentality do these people have when they make their wishes?
Finally, Mingmei's gaze fell directly on Dayao, who hadn't bought a single box. Seeing the doubt in Mingmei's eyes, Dayao shrugged and said, "Really, these two boxes of lunch are pretty useless to me this round."
"Um……"
Since everyone around was sitting together, Mingmei didn't feel comfortable asking her what made it so useless. However, just because Da Yao didn't say anything didn't mean Mu Chen was afraid.
"What kind of wish do you think one makes when visiting the Fox Spirit Temple?"
Unbeknownst to them, Mu Chen had moved behind Mingmei and, speaking in a voice that wasn't too low but just loud enough for everyone present to hear, began to speak eloquently, "Wouldn't it be terrible if you ate your lunchbox only to find out that the wish you made to the fox spirit could never be fulfilled?"
After saying that, Mu Chen let out a light scoff, which displeased Julian.
He turned around and looked at Mu Chen, who was sitting behind the merchant lady. At that moment, Mu Chen was sitting there upright.
Half of his figure was hidden in the shadows, while the other half was bathed in the candlelight of the room. He sat there quietly, watching everyone present, as if his existence was on a completely different level from the others.
Julian and his group were players, while Mu Chen was more like a passerby. Compared to Zhen Po's claim of having no desires, Mu Chen, who calmly observed the thoughts of everyone present, was more like a passerby.
"Aren't you afraid?"
After listening for a long time, Zhen Po finally couldn't help but ask Mu Chen a question.
What Mu Chen just said made it sound like they were all a bunch of cowards, and he was a little unconvinced.
"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid either." Mu Chen smiled at Julian, as if answering Mingmei who had been secretly eavesdropping, "Because a dream is just a dream. I will never change any of my thoughts because of a dream, even if it's a precognitive dream, I will not give up because of the failure it foretells."
After Mu Chen finished speaking, everyone present was shocked, and the room became eerily quiet.
Mingmei couldn't help but turn back to look at Mu Chen. She hadn't seen what kind of expression Mu Chen had when he said those words, but she could hear a hint of madness and despair in his tone.
Turning around, their eyes met, and a gentle ripple appeared in Mu Chen's dark eyes, reflecting Ming Mei's figure in his deep pools. Everything Ming Mei had just perceived seemed like her illusion.
"Besides, the braised pork rice is quite delicious." Finally, Mu Chen's words broke the tense atmosphere in the room. "The cola chicken wings are good too~"
Mingmei: ...
Sure enough, after playing this game for so long, even she, as an NPC, started acting a bit neurotic.
Mingmei thought for a moment, then tugged at the corners of her mouth at Mu Chen's gaze, revealing a faint smile that she had practiced many times recently and could now control.
In return, I received a bright, gentle smile from the other person, just as warm as a spring breeze...
"Cough cough cough!"
However, for some reason, someone always seems to ruin the atmosphere in these situations. A cough that came from somewhere broke the atmosphere between her and Mu Chen.
Mingmei turned her head again and saw several players holding boxed lunches, looking like they were engrossed in eating and oblivious to the world around them. Even Da Yao was calmly drinking tea, as if she were far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world.
It would have been perfect if these people hadn't secretly looked up and turned around, only to be caught by her.
So, who exactly is coughing and ruining the mood?!
...
“Hoo zzzZZZ”
It wasn't until a soft snore came from Zhen Hu's mouth and nose that everyone realized he had fallen asleep after finishing his boxed lunch.
"You can sleep like this?" Zhen Po looked at her older brother speechlessly. "You're too carefree!"
"Maybe it's the boxed lunch." Julian remembered that Zhen Hu ate braised pork rice, but the next second he also thought of Mu Chen, who bought the braised pork rice, but the other person seemed to have never slept.
If braised pork rice really has a hypnotic effect, then Mu Chen is a bit too scary, isn't he?
"Perfect, let's ask him what he dreamed about when he wakes up."
Meanwhile, Da Yao also remembered the function of braised pork rice, so it would be good to start with Zhen Hu as a breakthrough point.
As for the other person who ate braised pork rice, just like Julian noticed, Da Yao naturally also paid attention to Mu Chen.
She quietly turned to look at Mu Chen, who was sitting there quietly. Clearly, he was not sleepy.
So, this big shot bought braised pork rice just to appease the person in front of him?
As everyone remained silent, finished their tea and lunch, and went to sleep, the remaining time seemed to become somewhat difficult to endure.
