Chapter 150 System Anomaly

The night was quiet and still. Yan Hui silently emerged from the game pod and sat down again at his temporary workstation, still flipping through the data Mu Chen had given him during the day.

[System anomaly, system anomaly...]

Yan Hui heard the light brain's alarm and looked up silently at the message notification that popped up on the light brain. Immediately afterwards, using the permission Ruan Xun had given him, he opened the system anomaly section, his brow furrowing slightly...

Morning.

"Huh?"

Mingmei, who had been woken up by Lu Xiaoyao early in the morning and invited downstairs for breakfast, looked at Lu Xiaoyao's dark circles and felt a pang of sympathy.

It was hard on Lu Xiaoyao to be so sleepy and still call her up so early in the morning.

Could it be that she had stayed up all night writing her心得 *xinde* (reflections/lessons learned) and that's why she was like this?

Mingmei asked, but the answer she got was, "My brother, he's secretly trying to find me a boyfriend!"

"Are you sure you haven't misunderstood?"

Mingmei didn't believe that Lu Gui was the kind of person who could casually decide Lu Xiaoyao's feelings.

"That's right, it's my brother! He's definitely been secretly looking for a boyfriend for me behind my back!"

Lu Xiaoyao said with certainty, "Last night, he suddenly said something about disagreeing with our marriage. Where would a single person like me get married? So, it must be that my brother secretly found someone for me without my knowledge, and then he regretted it!"

Mingmei felt more and more confused as she listened to this. The taste of the exotic beast milk in her mouth seemed to have disappeared.

Lu Xiaoyao's deduction felt strange somewhere: "Have you asked your brother what exactly is going on?"

"No."

Lu Xiaoyao's body stiffened slightly when Mingmei asked this question.

Ha, she accidentally slapped her brother in the face last night, and was so scared afterwards that she ran away. How could she dare to ask?

"But... luckily Lu Gui said he didn't agree, right?"

Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao didn't speak, Mingmei thought for a moment and added, "This result isn't so bad, is it?"

"That's true, I definitely want to like the person I date. What if my brother introduces someone he likes but I don't? It's better if he doesn't like him... Wait! That's not right! What if I like that type?!"

Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyao clutched her chest and said, "I haven't even met him yet! What if he's a hottie..."

Mingmei: ...

How could this child be so fickle?

"It's okay, out with the old, in with the new. Maybe fate is right in front of you?"

Mingmei still remembered Julian's "secret crush", and felt that she could hint at it at this time.

"Meimei, I feel like something's off with you today." Lu Xiaoyao raised her head and saw Mingmei's meaningful expression, and her face even showed a very strange "auntie smile".

She was very familiar with this smile.

Mingmei: ...

She also felt guilty when Lu Xiaoyao asked her that.

She was wrong. She was so into shipping the two that she lost control and started dancing in front of the main character. She was the problem.

"I've looked at the schedule. The next few days are all cultural classes. After that, we'll go to the Second Military Academy to experience life. The third large-scale game will be opened there~"

Mingmei quickly found an excuse. After all, the first two large-scale games had left them with deep shadows. They were originally worried that they would start the third game soon, but later found that this period was still mainly cultural classes, as well as some special courses at the Central Military Academy and imperial history classes.

However, she wondered how her classmates who had seceded from the empire to form the Federation would feel when they took these cultural classes again.

"Wow~ Then I can privately stream several times in between!" Lu Xiaoyao's eyes lit up. She was worried that the games played in this exchange course at the school could not be streamed. If it wasn't continuous, she could take time to stream herself playing to her fans!

"I must redeem myself. Last night... sigh!"

As she spoke, Lu Xiaoyao sighed heavily and complained, "Meimei, we weren't in the same game yesterday, you don't know how difficult the game I played yesterday was. I was so close to winning!"

Mingmei: "Really...?"

Listening to Lu Xiaoyao's description, Mingmei's eyes moved slightly. She listened as Lu Xiaoyao, relying on the fact that she was "not in" the game, described a "thrilling" (non-existent) scene to her.

Immediately afterwards, Mingmei caught a glimpse of Julian walking towards them with breakfast, and stopped behind Lu Xiaoyao without leaving.

Mingmei: !!

"Ha! Meimei, let me tell you, I was so smart yesterday! I'm so clever! It's all Julian's fault. He's not good at this game, he's dragging me down. To protect him, I had to sacrifice myself and be eliminated first.

As a result, he was fine. I went out one second, and he came out the next. Did he live up to my sacrifice?"

Mingmei: "Cough cough..."

After saying that, Lu Xiaoyao picked up the exotic beast milk that appeared beside her, with a straw already thoughtfully inserted. She took a big gulp, sucking down 250ml of exotic beast milk in one breath.

After drinking, she let out a milky burp, without realizing the truth that Mingmei's throat was "itching", and continued to say, "Really, the conditions I created in the previous game were so good, but he was still discovered and taken away in one wave. I was so angry! Tell me, is this kind of guy... an idiot?"

Mingmei: "Cough!"

Please shut up!

Throwing the empty milk bottle directly in her usual handy posture, Lu Xiaoyao then saw two empty milk bottles.

Lu Xiaoyao: ??

Huh? She clearly remembered only taking one bottle just now?

Her gaze fell on Mingmei's hand. Mingmei hadn't finished her own drink yet. Lu Xiaoyao was silent. This was really spooky!

Whose milk did she drink the extra bottle of?

"You say you're angry, but I can't see it. You can still eat and drink."

Suddenly, a mocking voice from behind startled Lu Xiaoyao so much that her hair stood on end. She turned around, but there was no one behind her. Immediately afterwards, there was a sound next to her, and she turned her head to see Julian placing his plate on the seat next to her.

"Good morning."

Ignoring Lu Xiaoyao's frightened expression, Julian calmly greeted Mingmei, who was sitting across from Lu Xiaoyao.

In response, Mingmei also nodded to the other party: "Good morning, why are you here today..."

As Mingmei spoke, her gaze had already turned to look around, searching for students from the Federation Military Academy. Julian saw this and hummed in explanation: "The class this morning is later. Some of them stayed up late writing their *xinde* yesterday, and some stayed up late playing games, so they got up later. Coincidentally—"

Julian drew out the last syllable, "Coincidentally passing by here, my milk was inexplicably taken away by someone, so I sat here quietly waiting for someone to have a guilty conscience, and incidentally heard someone saying bad things about me behind my back."

Someone, someone, Lu Xiaoyao almost grabbed Julian's collar and told him to just say her name!

Still saying someone, who couldn't tell who it was?

"It was clearly your milk that was placed there to seduce me first! Don't make it sound like I directly took it from your plate!"

Lu Xiaoyao had to defend her actions, "Don't confuse the cause and effect. It was clearly you who planned to sit here first, and then put the milk next to my hand, and I accidentally took it!"

"Oh, is that so?"

Julian nodded with an indifferent expression, making Lu Xiaoyao, who was ashamed and angry, feel like she had punched cotton, very aggrieved.

"Hmph, it's a fact that you're bad at the game, I didn't say bad things about you."

"I, I'm bad at the game because my teammates didn't choose well and couldn't carry me."

After Julian finished speaking, Lu Xiaoyao turned her head and glared at him: "You guy..."

You're too thick-skinned!

"You're disliking me?"

Lu Xiaoyao couldn't believe it. After she failed the game yesterday, she talked with the viewers in the live broadcast room for a long time after leaving the game.

When she said that she was one of the murderers, the viewers on the barrage were excited and praised her, saying that her performance was too good this time and that she had made a lot of progress compared to before.

But when it came to Julian—#You're acting like everyone else is drunk but you're sober, Lu Xiaoyao is just not good enough#?

"Of course, if your acting skills weren't so bad, and your ability to stir up trouble with words wasn't so poor, would you have revealed your flaws? Don't forget, I personally dealt with those two people, and I wasn't caught in any way with Wang Wenfei.

The only thing was to let you clean up the poison I left in the tea room, but you let someone else pick up the poison. Who should be disliking whom?"

"You little brat, who gave you the guts to dislike my sister?"

Lu Gui didn't know when he arrived at the cafeteria, but listening to his questioning words, it seemed like he hadn't heard much.
