Chapter 1 How to Break the Awkwardness When You Interfere with Someone's Good Deed?

At this moment, Lu Xiaoyao met the gazes of the two pairs of eyes from next door, wishing she could carry her door and rush downstairs on the spot!

Oh, heavens!

Why did she have to open the door, stop, and turn her head to see such a scene?

The key point was that she had just interrupted someone's good deed with her complaining!

"Um... hi~?" Lu Xiaoyao's face seemed to be covered with a mask as she waved to the two embarrassed people opposite her. "Hahahaha, what a coincidence~"

Mingmei: "..."

Mu Chen: "..."

"I'm very embarrassed by you two like this..." Lu Xiaoyao, who was so embarrassed that she was about to explode, said what she felt in her heart first. As a result, upon hearing her words, Mingmei and Mu Chen separated slightly, their eyes meeting with some unnaturalness.

They were actually also very embarrassed, okay?

"Why are you here?"

Mu Chen asked with a wooden face right away.

"Isn't this... obvious?" Asked by Mu Chen, Lu Xiaoyao showed a silly look with her beady eyes, pointed at the room behind her, and silently replied, "I live here."

After hearing this, Mu Chen stopped talking. Mingmei saw that Lu Xiaoyao was being left out by Mu Chen and was even more embarrassed. So, she kindly tried to smooth things over, smiled, and said, "It's really a coincidence, I also live here."

As Mingmei spoke, she glanced at the trash bag Lu Xiaoyao was carrying and remembered the complaining voice she had just heard. So, she said, "Coincidentally, I have some roujiamo (Chinese-style burgers) here, would you like some?"

Mingmei once again offered the opportunity to Lu Xiaoyao, even Mu Chen felt a little jealous seeing this.

"Uh... never mind, never mind, no need, no need."

Lu Xiaoyao had long wanted to get away from here. As soon as Mingmei finished speaking, she caught Mu Chen's cold and scary gaze, and immediately shook her head like a quail. She didn't even bother throwing away the trash in her hand. She simply turned around, nodded to Mingmei, and instantly pulled open the door and rushed in!

Mingmei: "..."

Did Lu Xiaoyao know that she was only one nod "yes" away from that sentence congratulating the player for discovering the mysterious merchant?

Obviously, she didn't know!

Mingmei was also confused. Was Lu Xiaoyao really destined to be so unassociated with boxed lunches?

"Then—I'll go back first?"

While Mingmei was sighing, Mu Chen interrupted her inner sigh. Only then did Mingmei realize that she had ignored Mu Chen again. Before she could speak, Mingmei saw Mu Chen saying this in a faint tone.

And Mingmei couldn't bear to see the pitiful, big-dog look in his eyes.

It was as if she was abandoning some large pet if she said "you can go."

Mingmei nervously pinched her fingers secretly, raised her eyes, and glanced at Mu Chen, who looked like he was about to turn around and leave.

Mu Chen turned around very slowly, but in Mingmei's eyes, it was very fast, like she had made some major decision in an instant. Mingmei suddenly stood on tiptoes and landed a kiss on his face.

Mu Chen didn't even react to the speed.

"Be careful on the road."

The voice that followed was so small that Mu Chen almost didn't hear it. When he came back to his senses and reached out to grab Mingmei, Mingmei had already returned to the room with a red face, leaving only the empty doorway in front of him.

"Pfft~"

Mu Chen stood there for a while, chuckled softly, his eyes full of starlight. He stared at the peephole on the door and moved his thin lips slightly, causing Mingmei, who was peeking behind the door, to blush again uncontrollably.

[Good night, have a good dream.]

Mingmei could read the other party's lip language. Seeing that the other party had finally turned around and left, she leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief. Her forehead was against the door, as if that "bold" action had used up all her strength.

[Host, you've got something.]

Mingmei straightened up at Guigui's sudden compliment, pursed her lips, and said, "Is that how you praise people?"

[Actually, you can be bolder and do what Lu Xiaoyao interrupted earlier~]

"Get lost!"

……

Lu Xiaoyao, who was separated by only one wall, was now feeling both embarrassed and happy.

Happy that her friend was nearby;

Embarrassed that she had interrupted someone's good deed _(:3」∠)

Now she was pacing back and forth in the room like an ant on a hot pot, muttering to herself.

"It should be enough after so long, right? Eh, eh, no! The boss is so awesome, it might take longer?"

Lu Xiaoyao's mind couldn't help but have yellow (racy) thoughts surging up and down, so excited as if she had seen something with her own eyes. Then, after a long time, she suddenly remembered something: "Eh? Are they at the legal age to do this thing =. =?"

Mingmei, who knew nothing about this, suddenly sneezed and quickly took a piece of paper to wipe her nose. Mingmei quickly wanted to close the gap in the window she had just opened.

However, just for that moment, such a small gap allowed some snowflakes to pour in, instantly melting when they came into contact with the temperature in the room. The cold wind behind her directly froze the melted snow water on the window.

Mingmei discovered that the gap in the window had been blocked by ice ridges when she closed the window.

"Is it so outrageous?"

Mingmei looked at the somewhat gray ice ridges and had a deeper understanding of the severity of the water pollution on Ancient Blue Star (Gu Lan Xing) in later years.

"Cough cough!"

The heating in the room made Mingmei feel that her throat was a little dry and she wanted to drink water.

However, Mingmei looked at the yellow liquid in the cold boiled water that had been poured out in the room, and she still held back.

She didn't really want to drink it like that.

Thinking of her boxed lunch, Mingmei belatedly realized that something was wrong.

"Was this expecting me to use points to eat and drink?"

Mingmei took out the roujiamo and purified water from her bag while also thinking about the limitations of the boxed lunch on her in the game rules.

Mysterious merchants would have points deducted for eating boxed lunches, and the effect of eating would be halved.

Others could eat one meal that lasted three days, but she might only last a day and a half. If this game followed the time flow rate in the game, she would have at least another month and a half, 45 days. How many roujiamo would she have to eat and how much purified water would she have to drink?

"Is arriving early also a sin? Is this just to consume our points?" Mingmei almost laughed out of anger. She took a bite of the high-quality roujiamo, and the marbled braised pork with oily gravy made the anger that had just risen subside by two points.

"But it doesn't matter, I have enough points for me to eat like this."

Although players would give her points when they bought from her, Mingmei's consumption was also very obvious.

Just like now, she drank two bottles of purified water in one go.

[Host, maybe the points of those classmates who have been designed and tripped up may also be deducted secretly?]

Guigui saw that Mingmei was not in a good mood now, so he said something nice.

"Do I care if their points are deducted? But, to be honest, I never thought my uncle would design such a game for the Sixth Legion. But then again, I am really curious about the Ancient Blue Star (Gu Lan Xing) of the past..."

Mingmei had also heard of the legendary insect queen crystal core that everyone had mentioned in their previous chats.

She had heard her uncle say that the crystal core that could revive a "dead" planet was real, and that crystal core was used elsewhere.

It was used on another blue star in a parallel universe.

The planet where the main brain was born.

She had heard that the main brain actually had more than one such crystal core in its hand...

"Good morning, Meimei!"

The next morning, Mingmei wore thick cotton clothes, carried her insulated backpack on her back, and ran into Lu Xiaoyao, who was also going out, as soon as she went out.

"Morning."

"Meimei, what are you doing?"

"Selling boxed lunches."

"Oh~ oh?" Mingmei was so frank that Lu Xiaoyao didn't react. When she realized that Mingmei had said boxed lunches, Lu Xiaoyao couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise and said, "Why are you selling boxed lunches!"

Mingmei thought that Lu Xiaoyao had already heard the meaning behind her words, but when she saw her asking herself this question with a surprised look, Mingmei forcibly resisted the urge to roll her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"In this game, everyone eats in the cafeteria. You're not allowed to buy and sell privately."

As she said this, Lu Xiaoyao lowered her voice, afraid that others would hear her and report Mingmei. She stepped forward, grabbed Mingmei's arm, and said, "How can your character be so bad? Listen to me, don't sell it. I'll take you to the cafeteria to eat."

"I'm not..."

Lu Xiaoyao was interrupting when Mingmei felt a lightness on her shoulders.

She saw that Lu Xiaoyao had taken off her backpack and said, "These days, the private sale of food and drinking water is not allowed. You can't do this blindly~!"

As she said this, she also opened Mingmei's unlocked door and threw the insulated backpack in.

The scene made Mingmei's eyelids twitch!

Her equipment was just gone like that?

"Let's go, let's go. I'll take you to the community cafeteria to eat and help you find some work. In the game, you have to have a proper job to smoothly follow the plot, right? If you get caught, what plot are you going to follow!"

Lu Xiaoyao closed and locked the door again in Mingmei's stunned state, turned around and pulled Mingmei downstairs, complaining to Mingmei along the way about how difficult life was in this world.

"This food, I don't even bother to say... that, eh, eh, eh!" Lu Xiaoyao sighed as she spoke, "When I go, I plan to eat two steamed potatoes, and the rest, never mind, never mind."

Mingmei: "My boxed lunch is also very delicious..."

"And the water here, it's all like that to drink, let alone those that can't be drunk. No wonder the clothes here are all dark colors. With that water, you can't wash light colors, can you?"

Mingmei: "My boxed lunch..."

"Shh—"

Faced with Mingmei's repeated attempts to promote her product, Lu Xiaoyao raised her hand and made a silent gesture with her finger, shook her head, and said, "I told you, this job is not safe at this time, so give up on the idea."

"I'm not..."

"I understand, I understand. Meimei, I didn't ask you to break your character, but if you finish this character, you're definitely going to get in. Like this, like this, just think of me stopping you as my character. I'm your good sister, and I can't let you go astray, right? Wait a minute..."

"I'm a mysterious merchant." Unable to bear Lu Xiaoyao's self-righteous interruption, Mingmei simply revealed her identity, "I'm a mysterious merchant who sells boxed lunches."

Lu Xiaoyao: "o.o?"
