"Eat slower, it's just that you didn't get a lunchbox, right?"

Bai Xiao stared speechlessly at Lu Xiaoyao, who was channeling her grief and indignation into food, unsure how to console her.

Lu Xiaoyao had just finished a piece of grilled meat and was now engrossed in gnawing on a large pig's trotter. However, her red-rimmed eyes were fixed on the other players who, because of her unusual reaction, had successfully bought lunchboxes.

She felt wronged, sad, but she could eat!

Out of the six people present, she was the only one without a lunchbox!

Wanting to cry loudly, Lu Xiaoyao took another disgruntled bite of the pig's trotter!

This made the players who were eating their lunchboxes under Lu Xiaoyao's gaze inexplicably feel a pain in their thighs!

…

Lu Xiaoyao was lamenting her lack of a lunchbox, but Mingmei was practically trembling as she calculated the credits!

Wuwuwu! This was such a profitable run!

In the seven-person instance, five people bought lunchboxes. Unlike yesterday, when there were only two boxes, everyone who bought a lunchbox today bought two, including the韭菜鸡排 (jiu cai ji pai,韭菜 and chicken cutlet) one. After all, if they missed this chance, the next one wouldn't be for another six hours, and by then, the story would be almost over.

So everyone happily paid the credits, and Mingmei made 4.8 credits before the game even ended!

Awesome!

[Ghost, this multi-player instance is really profitable! Does my uncle have any other instances with a lot of players? I can try them next time!]

[Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you.]

"Please give me a pot of hot milk." Mingmei was secretly gloating when Mu Chen walked up to her with a large cup. Mingmei then noticed that in front of her, there were not only lunchboxes but also fruit platters and drinks.

There were three kinds of drinks: milk, coffee, and beer.

"Just milk?" Mingmei remembered that he had drunk coffee last night. Why was he only drinking milk this morning?

Mingmei didn't realize that she seemed to be paying too much attention to Mu Chen.

"Yes, just milk." Mu Chen said, glancing at the clear weather outside. As if making casual small talk, he looked down at Mingmei pouring milk for him and said, "The sun will be better in the afternoon. Would you like to go out for a walk together then?"

"Huh?"

Faced with his invitation, Mingmei's heart skipped a beat. The hand holding the milk pot paused slightly, and she slowly blinked at him as if to confirm, "Are you sure you're inviting me?"

"Or who else?" Mu Chen chuckled, seemingly amused by her reaction. His dark eyes met Mingmei's, filled with sincerity. "Of course, it's only you."

"Then… alright~"

Mingmei agreed so quickly that Ghost didn't even have time to speak!

[Host!] If Ghost had a physical body, it would definitely be wearing a mask of pain. [Do you have something in mind!?]

This makes it difficult for Ghost!

Mingmei didn't immediately answer Ghost's question. Instead, she took in the joy that flashed across Mu Chen's face when she agreed to his request.

Although he tried to restrain himself, keeping his lips in a polite, accepting curve, she still caught the sudden light in his eyes and the slight tremor in his fingers.

Although Mingmei knew that he had many secrets, she was already imagining herself cornering him, grabbing his collar, pulling his face down to her eye level, smiling wickedly, and saying, "Man, you've successfully caught my attention!"

[Host, I advise you to block me when you're fantasizing.]

Ghost not only didn't apologize for accidentally catching Mingmei's strange fantasies when she didn't respond to its questions, but also bluntly suggested it.

[Host, you weren't raised on greasy stars, so how can you be so cheesy?]

Mingmei: ???

[Is it really that cheesy? But I see my godfather often reading these novels.]

Mingmei still remembered when she was little, her godfather would cry over these "beautiful love stories" where they chased each other, and no one could escape.

Ghost: […]

So, Sixth Uncle likes it?

Sorry, I disturbed you (＞人＜；)

"Um…" Lu Xiaoyao, who had missed out on the lunchbox, had learned about its effects from Bai Xiao. After regaining her senses from eating, she secretly approached Bai Xiao again.

"What?"

"Can you help me check the butler's favorability towards me?" As she spoke, Lu Xiaoyao handed a piece of cake to Bai Xiao as a reward.

Bai Xiao, who had just finished eating: "…"

"I will, I'll show you today." Bai Xiao sighed, then opened the butler's favorability towards Lu Xiaoyao. What followed was Bai Xiao's exclamation.

She stared at Lu Xiaoyao with a complex expression for a long time, finally using her fork to put the piece of cake in her mouth and eat it.

"The butler's favorability towards you is very high."

After Bai Xiao finished the cake, the sweetness made her feel a little sour.

If she hadn't seen everyone else's favorability yesterday, which was generally around 50 or 60, she would have thought Lu Xiaoyao's 85 was inflated!

Also, she just checked her own favorability, and it was still 70. Bai Xiao was a little depressed.

However, Bai Xiao noticed one thing: in addition to having a high favorability towards Lu Xiaoyao, the butler also gave Lu Xiaoyao a comment——【能吃是福】(néng chī shì fú, being able to eat is a blessing).

Therefore, Bai Xiao put the small cake in her mouth, thinking, does the butler like people who eat a lot?

"How high? What's it for?"

As soon as she heard that her score was quite high, Lu Xiaoyao's eyes lit up and she immediately asked. But apart from telling Lu Xiaoyao the score, she didn't know what the score was for.

[Has anyone told me what this favorability is for?]

[Looking at this young lady's expression, I feel like our little one's score is really good.]

[Hmph, I can only say that the higher the favorability, the more likely they are to become the heir!]

At this time, a comment directly revealed the ending. Mingmei noticed it, looked down at the韭菜鸡排 (jiu cai ji pai,韭菜 and chicken cutlet) lunchbox in front of her, but didn't say anything.

In this level of game, there are other factors besides favorability~

Otherwise, how could this lunchbox exist?

"You, you suspect that the one with the lowest favorability each day will be eliminated?" After breakfast, Bai Xiao stopped Mu Chen, who was about to go upstairs to rest. As a result, Mu Chen guessed the reason for yesterday's death first.

"Otherwise? His score was the lowest among the six people yesterday. Although Lu Xiaoyao didn't know yesterday, do you think her score alone would affect anything? However, it seems that Lu Xiaoyao's favorability should be higher than 48."

Yesterday, that player's favorability was the lowest, 48 points.

Hearing this, Bai Xiao subconsciously concealed the matter of Lu Xiaoyao's favorability score for some reason and wanted to change the subject.

"So, you mean that the butler's announcement in a few days actually means that one person will be eliminated every night according to the lowest favorability, and the last one left is the heir?" Bai Xiao finished her guess, her face looking very bad. "The so-called elimination is death?"

"Maybe, who knows?"

One second, Mu Chen personally raised his suspicions, leading Bai Xiao to speculate and deduce the direction of the entire game. The next second, Mu Chen left such an ambiguous remark.

Bai Xiao choked upon hearing this and was about to ask for a definite answer when she heard Mu Chen's next question: "By the way, you two sleep in the same room. You should know best if she has any abnormalities, right?"

"Well, after last night, my system prompted me that I slept well and nothing happened in the room. What about you? Does the system have such a prompt?"

"Yes, the prompts are similar, nothing special."

"Well, that's it. It means she didn't do anything to avoid death. The one who died was the one who was selected at the beginning. So, I'll check Lu Xiaoyao's favorability again later to see how high her score is, so we can be prepared."

Regarding Bai Xiao's initiative to check Lu Xiaoyao's favorability, Mu Chen smiled, nodded, and followed her meaning: "Then today there are six people, so each person checks three."

"Okay." Bai Xiao nodded absently. Seeing that the other party had left, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why, but she felt a lot of pressure standing with Mu Chen.
