Chapter 147

As for the matter of her "biting" Mu Chen's chin, Mingmei decisively took advantage of the other party's lack of reaction and slipped away.

Hmph!

As long as she ran fast enough, embarrassment wouldn't catch up with her!

Watching Mingmei's departing back, Mu Chen stood there without moving for a long time before touching his chin, and then his earlobes gradually turned red.

"So nice."

…

"I checked today, and the butler's favorability towards Zhen Po has directly turned negative and is marked in red."

Lou Jia was sharing the information he had observed with Julian, and Julian also stated the scores he had found.

"Lu Xiaoyao's score has reached 90, the highest in the field, followed by that indifferent-looking man, Mu Chen, with 88 points. Next is you…" Lou Jia's gaze flickered slightly as he looked at Julian.

Now, apart from Zhen Po, he and another girl named Bai Xiao were ranked second-to-last and third-to-last respectively.

Noticing Lou Jia's complex thoughts, Julian calmly avoided eye contact and sighed, "We're really unlucky. Neither of us are in the top spots. It's only been a few days. If one of us is eliminated overnight, then we…"

Julian emphasized again that neither of them were completely safe.

"But speaking of which, I clearly remember that Zhen Po's favorability wasn't low when we were eating dinner last night."

Julian raised a point that was also troubling Lou Jia. Last night, Lou Jia had checked Zhen Po's score, and he remembered it wasn't low.

"Yeah, but I don't know what happened. Could it be that he did something later that caused his favorability to drop drastically?" Lou Jia speculated, then added, "Although he was saved overnight by the boxed lunch, what about tonight? Will they continue to target those who weren't eliminated last night, or will they switch to someone else?"

If they switched targets, Lou Jia would be in trouble, because he might be next!

While they were worrying about this, Bai Xiao, along with Lu Xiaoyao and Zhen Po, also discussed the matter. When Zhen Po heard that he might be targeted again tonight, his expression changed drastically.

"Can I still buy that boxed lunch?" Subconsciously, Zhen Po thought of Mingmei's boxed lunch again.

Lu Xiaoyao thought his suggestion was good, "If you can buy it, buy it. Just in case… Although it's smelly, it can save your life. Your favorability has actually turned negative; it's scary to look at."

"But why did you eat the boxed lunch last night? I remember that your favorability wasn't low."

Bai Xiao remembered telling them about her speculation regarding the use of favorability. Logically, Zhen Po shouldn't have eaten the boxed lunch last night.

"But weren't you guys just speculating? About favorability… What if they're not eliminating people based on favorability?" Zhen Po knew he wasn't smart enough, but he knew to listen to people with a grain of salt.

If it were purely based on favorability, then Bai Xiao was the lowest last night, but she didn't buy the chives and chicken cutlet boxed lunch.

At this point, Bai Xiao also noticed Zhen Po's gaze. Bai Xiao immediately saw the suspicion in his eyes. Wasn't that because she had been too calculating last night and forgot to buy the boxed lunch?

Otherwise, would she have come up with that plan before going to bed?

"But, speaking of which, did my favorability drop today because I wasn't eliminated last night, or did they want to eliminate me last night because it dropped, but they didn't succeed because of the boxed lunch?"

Zhen Po's face was wrinkled like a bun. He carefully recalled the details of last night, couldn't help but sigh, and squatted on the ground, scratching his head, "I didn't do anything last night. Alas, I might as well die. Even if the boxed lunch can save my life, with my favorability, you guys say that even if I make it to the end, I won't succeed!"

Mingmei heard Zhen Po's words through the live broadcast.

Indeed, according to the butler's announcement that the heir would be determined based on his favorability, even if Zhen Po made it to the end, it would be in vain. Even Mingmei began to doubt herself, wondering if the chives and chicken cutlet boxed lunch was just a burden, when Zhen Po died.

After lunch, after the afternoon break, Zhen Po was found dead in his bedroom.

Because Lu Xiaoyao was the one who discovered it, when Mingmei and the others started dinner in the evening, Mingmei noticed that Da Yao was "online."

This time, in order to stay awake for a sufficient amount of time, Da Yao took a plausible reason and used a personal handkerchief to dab blood and wear it all the time.

If she didn't wake up, she felt that Lu Xiaoyao, that big fool, would be next.

And Bai Xiao also noticed that the "Lu Xiaoyao" tonight wasn't as clingy to her as usual, but instead went to find Mingmei, just like Mu Chen.

Seeing this, Mu Chen and Lu Xiaoyao stood in front of Mingmei, looking at each other. Mingmei clearly felt an invisible lightning and thunder effect in the air.

What were these two doing?

"Give me two minutes!" Da Yao knew Mu Chen was not to be trifled with, so she directly stated her thoughts, "I'll leave after I'm done, otherwise it'll be a waste of each other's time."

At this, Mu Chen looked at Da Yao several times, seeing that she didn't give in at all and already had a taste of going all out.

Mu Chen then turned his head and smiled slightly at Mingmei, holding the fruit plate in front of him and eating it not far away from them, not even going back to sit down for a while.

"Do you know about Zhen Po's death?"

Da Yao really didn't waste time. As soon as Mu Chen stepped aside, she looked at Mingmei.

Mingmei remembered Lu Xiaoyao's live broadcast, but as soon as she thought of it, she noticed that Lu Xiaoyao's live broadcast background was turned off.

The barrage on the black screen was rolling in a mess.

[??? What the hell?? My daughter just snatched food from the tiger's mouth and we're not allowed to watch the rest?]

[I'm going, is the next thing something R-rated?]

[Oh my god! Not even pretty girls sticking together is allowed?]

[Damn! This sudden shutdown, Lu Xiaoyao, you've got guts! Are you getting cocky?!]

[That's not right, my daughter is in the game, how can she go offline?]

Seeing this, Mingmei turned to look at Da Yao and silently asked, "Is there a mole in Lu Xiaoyao's live broadcast room?"

Da Yao did not deny it, but it was also a default.

"Zhen Po's death during the day… I wasn't at the scene. Lu Xiaoyao, as the first person to discover it, should have noticed a lot, right?"

"Poisoning."

Da Yao said that Zhen Po's lips were purple and he was bleeding from all seven orifices when he died. After hearing this, Mingmei whispered to Da Yao about the thing that the butler gave to the kitchen worker C in the afternoon.

"However, she looked very happy when she received it. It didn't look like she was given any poison or anything." Mingmei had to remind Da Yao at the end, "I can only say that there may be some connection between them. I really don't know much about Zhen Po's death."

Da Yao nodded to show that she understood and would not act rashly.

"Since Zhen Po is offline, someone should be anxious tonight."

After getting the news from Mingmei, Da Yao hooked the corners of her lips and looked back at the players who were eating with some absent-mindedness.

Everyone was full of tricks, and wasn't Lu Xiaoyao the same, keeping a trick up her sleeve?

"Speaking of which, Zhen Po was originally planning to buy your boxed lunch. Now…" Mingmei knew about this matter that Da Yao was talking about, and she also regretted it. This was a good opportunity to buy boxed lunches.

Thinking this, Mingmei suddenly noticed the countdown for the players in her backstage transaction. The gentle expression just now disappeared without a trace.

The flow of time in this game doesn't seem to be uniform…
