Chapter 49 Unexpected Effect

　　Ming媚 didn't expect the effect of the boxed lunch to be like this. By the time she came back to her senses from that memory, what surprised her even more was that Mu Chen's first match had already ended while she was "watching."

　　"What... just happened?"

　　Ming媚 blinked her eyes in disbelief.

　　She didn't understand how the world outside could have changed so much while she was using the boxed lunch to see a person's strange life.

　　Just now, wasn't Mu Chen evenly matched with that person?

　　"Just now, that person took the initiative to admit defeat..." Hu Yue hadn't expected it either. She had been so engrossed in watching the match just now that she hadn't noticed Ming媚's "absent-mindedness." She thought Ming媚 was also frightened by the reversal just now.

　　"What?"

　　Hearing Hu Yue's words, Ming媚 immediately turned her head to look in Mu Chen's direction, widening her eyes to carefully observe the changes on the stage. Compared to when she had been watching Oulai's relationships through the boxed lunch, Mu Chen now had a touch of purplish-blue at the corner of his mouth.

　　The bloodstains on Oulai's mouth had been wiped clean, and he didn't seem like he had suffered a big loss and wanted to admit defeat early.

　　"Was Oulai seriously injured?" Ming媚 asked uncertainly, but saw Hu Yue shake her head.

　　"It doesn't seem like it. After the two exchanged blows, neither seemed to gain an advantage, but neither severely injured the other..."

　　It looked as if they were testing each other.

　　That was what Hu Yue felt in her heart as she watched the two exchange blows.

　　Because neither could kill the other, they tentatively tested each other's strength and then gave up the idea of continuing the competition.

　　However, this was just her own guess, and she didn't want to say it to Ming媚 for fear of misleading her.

　　After hearing this, Ming媚 didn't ask any more questions. However, she looked at the second match about to begin on the stage. From the beginning, the fighter's expression when looking at Mu Chen was filled with fear and worry. He didn't look like he could win, so Ming媚 started to zone out again with peace of mind.

　　[It wasn't said that the boxed lunch was viewed like this.] Ming媚 complained to Gui Gui in the backstage, [From beginning to end, I don't even know that woman's name.]

　　[Host, it's no use telling me this.] Gui Gui was also helpless when she heard Ming媚's complaint, [You've already seen so much. You know that Oulai is a mixed-blood and that he has a very close relationship with a woman. Isn't that enough?]

　　[Then at least tell me her name~] When Ming媚 thought of the scene she saw, where Oulai followed that woman from a young age, leaving the Zerg and coming to the outer star sea, relying on each other for survival, it was like watching a mini-movie.

　　[He only remembers what that woman said to him. Why didn't Oulai shout a few words, even call out her name? That would at least be a clue. Now, where do you want me to find her?]

　　Ming媚 only saw that woman from Oulai's perspective. Although the picture was blurry, Ming媚 knew she was a great beauty just from her clear, amethyst-like eyes and the sparkling scales at the corners of her eyes.

　　However, what Ming媚 was more concerned about was that the woman seemed to be a mixed-blood as well.

　　[Are mixed-bloods common in the outer star sea?] Ming媚 couldn't help but ask Gui Gui a question unrelated to the topic. Gui Gui didn't answer slowly: [Compared to the Empire and the Federation, they are indeed considered common.]

　　Gui Gui told Ming媚 about the common mixed-bloods within the Empire and the Federation: merfolk and humans, beastmen and humans.

　　[Are there Zerg and humans?]

　　Gui Gui: [May I ask, Host, what kind of power do you think can allow two races to overcome their deep-seated hatred and be together? Host, don't tell me it's love. Even if there are still brain-dead love dramas in the Empire and the Federation these days, that doesn't mean the audience has no bottom line.

　　If anyone dares to film something like that, being banned is a small matter. They would be taken away for investigation in minutes.

　　Host, you underestimate the hatred between humans and the Zerg too much.]

　　[I was just asking...]

　　Hearing Gui Gui's increasingly serious tone, Ming媚 gave a dry laugh.

　　She just remembered those things in Oulai's memories. For the Zerg, mixed-bloods seemed to be just an experiment.

　　However, the matter of the experiment didn't seem important to Oulai either. There wasn't even anyone who could appear on the scene, just voices in dialogue.

　　More of it was that woman in Oulai's process from childhood to adulthood, from naive to mature youth. It seemed that his world always only had that person.

　　Even, from Oulai's perspective, Ming媚 could guess that the other party was a mixed-blood born from the combination of a merfolk and some kind of Zerg. Oulai was only called "bastard" and other vulgar names by others. He hadn't even thought about it or delved into his own background.

　　It seemed that all the suffering of his childhood had been redeemed when he met that woman...

　　Compared to the effect after Ming媚 used the boxed lunch, Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Gui didn't choose to go to the boxing ring to watch the match tonight. Instead, the two changed direction and went to the vicinity of the residence of the character played by Zhen Hu to wander around.

　　After all, the commotion last night was quite big. Even if the people nearby maintained a "mind your own business" attitude, the essence of people is gossip. As long as you inquire a little in the vicinity, some people will be happy to chat with you.

　　So, in the process of chatting, the brother and sister quickly locked onto a neighbor who lived next door to Zhen Hu.

　　According to the people around, this person had a good relationship with the character played by Zhen Hu.

　　So, when the brother and sister found the other party, Lu Xiaoyao, under Lu Gui's instructions, began to use the effects of the boxed lunch while Lu Gui chatted with the other party under the guise of the Security Office.

　　Soon, while Lu Gui was communicating with that person, Lu Xiaoyao—vomited.

　　Lu Gui: !!!!

　　The rainbow-like mosaic instantly made Lu Gui, who was trying to get information, fail in managing his expression!

　　……

　　Mu Chen still had three consecutive victories. When it was over, Ming媚 and Hu Yue exchanged residential addresses and agreed to meet tomorrow, then the two separated.

　　After separating, Ming媚 inadvertently glanced at Oulai while waiting for Mu Chen in the fighter rest area.

　　Why is this guy just leaving now?

　　If a fighter loses a match, unless he is beaten to death, there won't be any more matches later. But this person has actually stayed here for so long.

　　Ming媚 looked at the other party several times, but even though he was still covered by a斗篷 (dou peng, cloak), he still felt Ming媚's gaze.

　　He glanced in Ming媚's direction, and his golden eyes startled Ming媚.

　　Just as the other party was about to come towards her, he raised his eyes and saw the man who had fought him to a draw on the stage.

　　At this moment, the other party was standing behind the person who was spying on him.

　　He thought it was some powerful enemy, but... oh, just a couple standing up for each other!

　　Was that the reason on stage just now?

　　Seeing this, Oulai suddenly chuckled and then turned around and left.

　　"What is he laughing at?"

　　Ming媚 had clearly felt the killing intent in the other party's eyes just now, but in the next second, he suddenly laughed, and the killing intent on his body had subsided a lot.

　　"It's nothing, maybe he's laughing at himself."

　　Mu Chen had captured a trace of ridicule in the other party's eyes. He probably guessed his mental journey from the change in the moment he looked at himself and Ming媚.

　　"Is that so?"

　　Ming媚 understood vaguely, but the person she was waiting for had arrived, and Ming媚 didn't want to focus her attention on other people.

　　She pulled Mu Chen over, looked at him carefully, and asked, "Are you injured?"

　　"No, except here." Mu Chen pointed to the corner of his mouth and said pitifully, "It would be good if you blew on it, and of course, it would be better if you kissed it."

　　Ming媚: 0.0!

　　Ming媚's face instantly turned red. She could only glare at Mu Chen for such a request and then run away quickly.

　　Ming媚: As long as she runs fast enough, there will be wind, and her burning face will cool down!

　　Mu Chen saw that he had embarrassed her and quickly stepped forward to chase after her. On the way, he happened to see Lu Gui and his sister, who didn't look good.

　　Mu Chen saw Ming媚 running faster, so he deliberately greeted Lu Gui and them loudly in that direction.

　　Sure enough, Ming媚 heard it and immediately stopped and looked around to see where Lu Xiaoyao and the others were. So, when they all looked at Lu Gui and them, Lu Xiaoyao, whose face had not been good all along, vomited again.

　　Ming媚: !!!

　　Mu Chen: ...

　　Lu Gui, who was next to Lu Xiaoyao, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Looking at Ming媚 and them who were standing stupidly not far away, Lu Gui couldn't explain his feelings. It seemed pretty good.

　　After all, he was no longer the only one enduring this rainbow mosaic spicy eye effect.

　　And the truth behind Lu Xiaoyao's repeated vomiting of "rainbows" was actually very speechless.

　　"I have 3D motion sickness."

　　"No, I haven't seen you get 3D motion sickness when playing holographic games before."

　　Ming媚 didn't understand how Lu Xiaoyao could get 3D motion sickness just by using a boxed lunch to see the relationships between people.

　　"That's different. 3D is obviously outdated technology. You don't know, I saw that person's relationships, and the perspective was so shaky. I don't know how this guy knows so many people. What a social butterfly!"

　　Lu Xiaoyao complained non-stop. Although she and Ming媚 were both looking at the relationships between their characters, it was clear that Oulai and the person Lu Xiaoyao was talking about were complete extremes.

　　Oulai didn't seem to care about anyone. The only person he remembered was that mixed-blood woman. And Zhen Hu's neighbor really wanted to know everyone in the base!

　　This led to Lu Xiaoyao constantly watching that person greet and chat, and the vision switched rapidly, making Lu Xiaoyao dizzy.

　　As a result, Lu Xiaoyao vomited after it was over _(：3」∠)_

　　However, everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Xiaoyao strangely because of her complaint about the other party being a social butterfly...
