As everyone was catching their breath, they saw Mu Chen, who had previously detached himself from the group, unwilling to roar with the gorillas, slowly walking towards them with a lunchbox in hand.

Then, right in front of everyone, he began to feed himself spoonful after spoonful of the seafood paella.

The rich, orange sauce coated the crystal-clear rice. Scallops, shrimp, and other seafood were mixed into the rice and sent into Mu Chen's mouth. Even though Mu Chen didn't have the habit of smacking his lips, everyone couldn't help but automatically add chewing sounds in their minds as they watched him eat.

"Slurp!"

The sound of someone swallowing their saliva was particularly loud in the quiet observation.

Mu Chen looked down and saw Lu Xiaoyao, whose saliva was almost dripping.

He pursed his lips, the upturned corners revealing his good mood at the moment. Then, he raised his eyes and scanned the others, asking, "You guys want some too?"

"Yes."

A group of people nodded one after another. Mu Chen nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the side. Only then did everyone realize that there was a "stall" in the blind spot that had been blocked by him!

On the left was a pile of coconut water, on the right was a pile of lunchboxes. The stall owner was very beautiful and looked familiar.

"Boss, one of each of these lunchboxes, do they come with coconut water?"

The first to come up was Wang Wenfei. Compared to the previous times, Wang Wenfei's gaze towards Mingmei was much more normal this time. But at the same time, Wang Wenfei's reaction was also much faster.

When she opened her mouth to buy the lunchboxes, before the system prompt even sounded, Wang Wenfei secretly winked at her.

Could it be that she recognized her?

Wang Wenfei… Mingmei's heart tightened subconsciously. Her expression remained unchanged, and she didn't show anything in response to the wink. She simply nodded in agreement to give the coconut juice away with two lunchboxes.

Since Wang Wenfei had recognized her, Mingmei could only secretly glare at Lu Xiaoyao again, feeling disappointed!

Look at her, look at you, Lu Xiaoyao!

In response, Lu Xiaoyao only felt a chill run down her spine. She looked around suspiciously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see anything dangerous.

After that, she and the other players came over to buy lunchboxes with the mentality of tasting delicious food, but unexpectedly received a surprise gift. The person in front of them was actually the mysterious merchant!

For a moment, everyone turned to look at Mu Chen with gratitude. Mu Chen simply nodded politely, and then gave Mingmei a pure yet bewitching smile.

[Did you see that?! Did you see that?! If that's not love!]

[Then I don't exist!]

[Wuwuwu, this guy is awesome, he even takes the initiative to help the merchant lady sell lunchboxes~]

[That's right, that's right, even my kid wants to buy lunchboxes this time, I'm really— shedding tears of joy!]

[Who says otherwise, look at our kid, in which game could they buy lunchboxes in the first wave? And if they bought them, they were all useless!]

[Speaking of which, won't this kid buy the wrong ones again?]

[Shut up! Don't jinx it!]

Lu Xiaoyao, who was being worried about by the audience, realized that the "NPC" standing in front of her, who looked eight parts like her classmate, was actually a mysterious merchant. Her eyes lit up. Before she could say what she wanted to buy, she grabbed Mingmei's hand and said, "I knew it! Meimei, you can bless me anywhere!"

Mingmei: "…"

Is that how you use the word bless?

Mu Chen: "…"

Can you not touch me when you talk?

Wang Wenfei: ???

Others: ?????

"This customer, what… do you want to buy?" Mingmei calmly spent a lot of effort to pull her hand out of Lu Xiaoyao's hand, asking Lu Xiaoyao with a forced smile.

"Oh, oh, wait, let me see, I… give me six servings of seafood paella!" Saying that, Lu Xiaoyao said smugly, "A lunchbox that reduces 10 pressure points, wouldn't I be stupid if I didn't directly buy six boxes to eat until my pressure value is normal?"

"Idiot number one" Mu Chen: =.=

"Idiot number two" Wang Wenfei: …

The other players who were about to become "idiots": …

"Coconut chicken is also good..." Mingmei felt that Lu Xiaoyao was not right.

"Then, one coconut chicken and five seafood paella?" Lu Xiaoyao glanced at the others beside her again, seeing that everyone was looking at her with a wise gaze like this →_→, Lu Xiaoyao thought about it, just in case, she should buy both.

"Isn't five servings of seafood paella a bit too much?" Mingmei still reminded her.

"Not really, I can try my best to finish it, at most I'll eat it in two or three meals."

Since Lu Xiaoyao had said so, Mingmei naturally had nothing to say.

Although these lunchboxes were not expensive, Mingmei remembered that Lu Xiaoyao didn't earn many credits last time. Now she was throwing out 3 credits as soon as she came up, wasn't she feeling sorry at all?

The remaining players were somewhat affected by what Lu Xiaoyao said.

So, after everyone bought a coconut chicken lunchbox, Charlie, tempted by the seafood paella that could reduce pressure points, also took three boxes.

And Madison, Julian, and Lou Jia hesitated and only bought one box of seafood paella each.

Since it was a welfare game and credits were easy to get, it was better to spend less and save them. There was no need to buy just because it was cheap and fun.

Next, it was time to eat the lunchboxes.

A group of people sat in the shade of the trees, enjoying the sea breeze and starting the first wave of lunchboxes.

Some people with light tastes started with coconut chicken, such as Wang Wenfei, Lou Jia, and Madison.

There were also some people with strong tastes who started with seafood paella, like Lu Xiaoyao, Charlie, and Julian.

Soon, the three people who finished the coconut chicken lunchbox, plus Mu Chen, naturally received the prompt—no more than three. (shi bu guo san - idiom meaning "nothing more than three")

No more than three, does this mean that they should not repeat what they do next?

Just as they were thinking about this, Charlie, who ate very quickly, had already eaten two boxes of seafood paella in a row.

Although he already felt full in his stomach, looking at the pressure value dropping rapidly in the background, Charlie looked at the two lunchboxes in front of him again.

Immediately, he decided to eat the coconut chicken later, he would eat the seafood paella first!

So, after the third serving of seafood paella was eaten, the companions next to him suddenly burst out in a cry of surprise, and everyone focused their attention on Charlie.

This look scared everyone. They saw that his face was swollen, and his facial features were deformed due to edema, and they almost couldn't recognize him.

"Charlie, you are..."

Charlie: "I-I-I don't know...I-I can't breathe..."

As he spoke, Charlie, holding the lunchbox in his hand, suddenly threw the lunchbox away and began to grab his collar tightly, scaring everyone with his appearance of being unable to breathe.

"Seafood allergy!" Lu Xiaoyao realized what was wrong with Charlie, "His body is having a seafood allergy now! And he ate so much seafood paella!"

Everyone: !!!!

There is such a thing as a seafood allergy?

"Shocked, it seems." When Wang Wenfei and Madison squatted down to check, Charlie's body began to twitch, and he fell into a coma. Everyone didn't have a communicator, so everyone looked at Mingmei, who also shook her head, unable to help.

Therefore, in a good welfare game, Charlie was directly eliminated because of a seafood allergy, which was something that everyone had never expected.
