Chapter 7: Sharing Lunch, Delicious Spots
As Meng Qingyin had predicted, there was no danger in the supply box.
Of course, the supplies inside were also rather meager: [Plastic x2] [Tire x1].
There wasn't even a bottle of water.
She disassembled it directly and then opened the three supply boxes behind it.
Good news: There is no danger.
Bad news: Supplies are scarce.
I found [1 tire], [3 pieces of sheet metal], [2 pieces of plastic], [1 bottle of mineral water], [2 spiced braised eggs], and [1 milk biscuit].
I glanced at the time; it was only 12:05.
Meng Qingyin didn't rush to eat lunch. First, she sorted out the supplies that had arrived that morning, categorizing them together with the supplies she had brought.
She first took out the food she had brought from her camouflage bag: 9 compressed biscuits, 3 canned meat in a tin can, 3 canned fruit, and 10 bottles of mineral water.
Put all the food into the storage box, and use it as a dedicated food storage box.
Besides these, the food storage box also contained the following items she had opened this morning: 1 bottle of mineral water, 2 milk-flavored steamed buns, 1 bottle of Wangzai milk, 2 steamed buns, 2 garlic hams, 2 spiced braised eggs, and 1 milk biscuit.
The other storage box contained a roll of toilet paper and a camouflage bag, along with the two mineral water bottles she had left over from that morning.
Mineral water bottles are made of plastic, and plastic is an important material for upgrading vehicles. I wonder if there's any way to turn mineral water bottles into plastic.
In short, keep these two empty bottles for now; they're practically weightless and won't add any burden to her.
As for the backpack (5 slots), it contains materials for upgrading vehicles: 5 plastic, 6 sheet metal, 2 tires, and 16 planks.
With all the supplies organized, Meng Qingyin started thinking about posting pictures of her lunch in the chat area.
The top ten players will receive a surprise gift, and she doesn't want to give up.
Opening the chat area, I found that players were all posting pictures of their lunches, with various photos scrolling by at lightning speed, making it dazzling.
Mr. Nice Guy: "[Image] My lunch was a dry, stale steamed bun. It doesn't look appetizing, and it really doesn't taste good. I wouldn't have posted it to tempt you guys if it weren't for the little gift I was trying to get!"
I'm the Queen of Luck: "[Image] I'm on a diet, and my lunch is just a small bottle of water. Don't underestimate this bottle of water; it's pure, natural water. One sip will refresh you, two sips will prolong your life, and three sips will grant you immortality!"
Unrequited Love: "[Image] Hello everyone, this is my lunch, Northwest Wind. I don't need to say how precious it is, right? Hurry up and share your delicious food!"
Ding Qing: "No, is everyone this abstract? [Image] My lunch was a meat bun, pork and fennel filling, it smelled so good!"
I am the chief: "[Image] Steamed buns, pickled vegetables, peanuts, wheat juice, I don't need to say more about our strength, right?"
Xiao Tian: "Upstairs, you call yourself unlucky with your skill level? If you're unlucky, then who are we?"
The Joker: "Look at my name."
Pleasant Goat: "Aren't my nicknames 'Emperor of Luck' and 'Emperor of Bad Luck' reversed?"
Chen Leying: "[Image]"
Internet heartthrob: "Chen Leying, you still dare to show your face? Have you forgotten what happened this morning so quickly? Do you enjoy profiting from human suffering? You're a murderer!"
Sunflower: "Wow, Chen Leying's lunch is so lavish! It's roasted snake meat! I can almost smell the charred aroma of snake meat... And there are shumai too! I'm so hungry!"
Zhao Lan: "Everyone, please be careful! There may be unknown dangers inside the supply boxes. Be extremely cautious when opening them!!!"
"..."
It's lunchtime now, and with the lunch-sharing activity, the chat area is bustling with activity.
After looking around, Meng Qingyin found that none of the lunches in the chat area were very competitive.
But this is just the beginning, and there's no guarantee that no big names will emerge later, so we can't let our guard down.
She opened the food storage box, took out the food items one by one, and placed them on another storage box.
And you know what? She was sitting in the truck bed, and the storage box was actually quite tall enough to be used as a table, truly making one item serve multiple purposes.
Having not eaten since arriving this morning and exhausted after a long morning, Meng Qingyin was starving.
They began to generously place food on the "table".
Milk-flavored steamed buns, twisted rolls, milk-flavored soft pancakes, spiced braised eggs, garlic ham, canned meat, canned fruit, and Wangzai milk—all were taken out and laid out.
If her stomach hadn't been too full to hold the compressed biscuits, she would have put them on the table anyway.
Find the camera function on the screen and snap a picture of all the food.
Then I opened the chat area, set myself a nickname "Mengmeng", and posted the photo.
Fearing that her photos would be quickly scrolled past if she didn't say anything, Meng Qingyin also posted a message.
Mengmeng: "[Photo] Steamed buns, rolls, soft pancakes, braised eggs, canned ham sausages, and Wangzai milk. This is my lunch. Please enjoy."
After posting the message, she happily enjoyed her lunch, completely unaware of the sensation she had caused.
General: "Before clicking on the picture, I thought the person upstairs was doing something abstract. After clicking on the picture, my mom asked me why I was kneeling and drooling!"
"Good heavens! Anyone who didn't know better would think Mengmeng was reciting a menu! How does he have so much food?!"
Verdict complete. A real glutton: "That little soft pancake looks so fluffy and delicious! And the braised egg looks incredibly flavorful; I can even picture the soft, chewy texture of the yolk...slurp!"
The gluttonous girl exclaimed, "Quick, put it in my mouth!!!"
I'm the luckiest person: "The sky is falling, how come everyone else is luckier than me?"
Thoughts in the Wind: "The real lucky one has arrived. The fake lucky one must be sweating buckets, right? I didn't mean to pick you, I am the lucky one."
I am the Lucky One (Fake): "Are you satisfied now? You cold-hearted person! I will never forgive you!"
Thoughts in the Wind: "Hey bro, why did you change your nickname? You can even change your nickname?"
I'm a lucky charm (fake): "Used a name change card. (Indifferent face.JPG)"
"..."
Meng Qingyin took a bite of the steamed bun. Although it wasn't as hot as when it was fresh out of the steamer, it was still soft and delicious.
Then she heard a series of "beep beep beep" sounds.
[Your lunch has received food points from player "General". Current food points: 1.]
[Your lunch has received food points from player "Deep Well Ice". Current food points: 2.]
[Your lunch has been won by the player...]
The continuous notifications sounded like ten thousand flies buzzing around her, bombarding Meng Qingyin's eardrums in turn.
She didn't even bother to eat anymore, quickly turned off the message notifications, and finally her ears could have some peace and quiet.
Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important.
She slowly finished all the food, drank the bottle of "Forgotten Baby" milk, put the remaining tin can and milk can into the storage box, and then let out a satisfied burp.
We should have been saving our food, but the "surprise gift" was just too tempting!
She was determined to get into the top ten!
Meng Qingyin glanced at the latest message notification; she already had 20,890 food points.
There are 100,000 players in this area, and one-fifth of them gave her all their food points.
However, she didn't know how the food was calculated.
Can each player only cast one vote, or can they vote an unlimited number of times?
If it's the former, then she's a shoo-in for the top ten, and might even be able to challenge for the top three.
But if it's the latter, then it's uncertain.
