“Wait a moment.”

Zhen Po hadn’t noticed Mingmei's gaze towards Lu Xiaoyao. Assuming Mingmei was asking her, she didn't immediately refuse. Instead, she picked up the several large pizza boxes in front of Mingmei.

Then, Zhen Po turned and went inside, placing the pizzas on the dining table.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiaoyao, who had been observing, was also shocked by the number of pizza boxes. She momentarily forgot Mingmei’s gaze and exclaimed, “Heavens, there are only six of us! You bought six boxes of pizza? That’s too much.”

Too much?

One seven-inch pizza per person.

Mingmei couldn't guarantee that everyone could finish a whole one, but Lu Xiaoyao’s surprise made Mingmei chuckle inwardly.

She remembered clearly the scenes of her and Lu Xiaoyao eating together these past few days. Lu Xiaoyao's appetite was definitely not satisfied by just one pizza.

So, what was she implying?

“If we eat pizza, we won’t have room for anything else.” Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's words, Mingmei immediately felt a surge of panic.

Was this girl going to reject her bento box again because of the pizza?!

Mingmei’s breath hitched, her heartbeat amplified in her mind.

She had already decided that if Lu Xiaoyao pulled another trick this time, she definitely wouldn't give her a second chance!

“I don’t like pizza. It’s too greasy. I’d rather have a bento box. By the way, is your bento box delicious?”

Lu Xiaoyao pouted, clearly disliking pizza, and turned to Mingmei, whose expression had suddenly changed, asking this question.

Mingmei never expected that Lu Xiaoyao would say that today!

Suddenly asking if her bento box was delicious not only excited Mingmei, but also made Lu Xiaoyao, who received the notification,’s eyes light up.

“Ahhhhh!”

Heavens! Heavens!

The Mysterious Merchant!

Her casual remark actually triggered this function!

Mingmei and the others present were startled by Lu Xiaoyao’s scream. Then, before Mingmei could react, Lu Xiaoyao dragged her into the house.

Mingmei stumbled as she was pulled in, nearly falling, but luckily there were many people at the door, and Mingmei wasn't sure who she grabbed to steady herself.

“What are you doing? Why are you so frantic?”

A male player, a stranger to Mingmei, stood at the entrance. He had also been secretly observing the newcomer.

In fact, when Lu Xiaoyao pulled Mingmei in, if he hadn't reacted quickly and stepped aside, he would have been knocked over by Lu Xiaoyao’s excited force.

Lou Jia glanced at Lu Xiaoyao with disdain, then glanced at the doorway. Lu Xiaoyao had pulled the person in so quickly that she hadn't even closed the door, and the dark entrance was a bit eerie.

“Reckless.” Although he spoke with disdain, his actions were quite honest as he stepped forward and closed the door.

“Why are you pulling the delivery person in? Could it be…” The other players were also dissatisfied with Lu Xiaoyao’s behavior, but Mingmei’s appearance made them suspicious.

“Are you a player too?”

Zhen Po also asked uncertainly from the side. Mingmei glanced at him, then shook her head, feigning ignorance, and asked, “Player? Are you all playing a game here?”

Hearing Mingmei’s words, the others looked at each other strangely, as if confirming something.

But this didn't include Lu Xiaoyao. Lu Xiaoyao grabbed Mingmei’s hands and asked excitedly, “What new items do you have? I can buy them all to eat!”

Lu Xiaoyao’s words were exceptionally effective. Mingmei opened the insulated box behind her and showed Lu Xiaoyao two types of bento boxes.

[Mapo Tofu Bento: One bento box can offset the self-destructive damage caused by demonic possession once; multiple purchases allowed; one credit point/box.]

[Tomato Sardine Bento: Activates Yin-Yang Eyes (controllable) for a total of 3 hours; one credit point/box.]

“Wow!” Lu Xiaoyao’s eyes widened. She looked at Mingmei in disbelief, then looked down at the bento boxes in front of her. But the price was too expensive!

Lu Xiaoyao couldn't help but glance at the clock on the wall. It was six o’clock in the afternoon, and because it was late autumn, a layer of night had already fallen outside the window.

Then Lu Xiaoyao immediately turned her head to look at the bento boxes in front of her and held up three fingers to Mingmei, saying, “Give me three Mapo Tofu bento boxes!”

Mingmei: …?

Three Mapo Tofu bento boxes?

Everyone: …

Wow, is she just throwing away her points?

“Don’t you want to try the Tomato Sardine bento box?” Mingmei felt that Lu Xiaoyao spending three credit points at once was a big move, but in this supernatural text instance, shouldn't she consider the Sardine bento box?

Yin-Yang Eyes would allow her to see things.

“No, no.” Lu Xiaoyao shook her head quickly, full of rejection.

What a joke!

Why would she want to see those strange and not-so-pretty things?

She had no curiosity and didn’t want to see them!

As long as she could survive to the end, she would win!

After confirming that Lu Xiaoyao had no other needs, Mingmei handed the Mapo Tofu bento boxes to Lu Xiaoyao.

However, when she opened the insulated box and saw the full stack of bento boxes, Mingmei suddenly realized why the box felt so heavy today!

Well, it was okay after carrying it for a while.

After handing the bento boxes to Lu Xiaoyao, Mingmei turned to look at the other players who were looking at her with curiosity and asked, “Would anyone else like to try the new items?”

“I want some.”

Among the crowd, a familiar face appeared before Mingmei, it was Wang Wenfei from the previous round.

Mingmei remembered that in the last round, Wang Wenfei had also quickly agreed after she asked, although the expression on her face had been guarded until the second before she agreed. But the system notification had gone off once she agreed, and Mingmei had to give her a thumbs up for her ability to change her expression in a second.

So, why did Wang Wenfei's expression feel so strange?

“I… I want two Mapo Tofu bento boxes.”

The exact same choice as Lu Xiaoyao, just one less bento box. Mingmei also promoted the other bento box, but she also completely refused.

Hilarious!

As long as I don’t see it, I’ll pretend it doesn’t exist!

Mingmei finally understood why these two weren’t buying the other bento box.

Haha! Were they all like ostriches?

The others present watched as these two went to buy bento boxes, and they began to suspect something was wrong. Then, after Wang Wenfei bought some, the others also spoke up, saying they wanted to try some.

For the first time, Mingmei felt the smoothness of selling bento boxes!

Sure enough, without Lu Xiaoyao causing trouble, her bento boxes were selling so well!

Almost all six people present had at least two bento boxes each. Oh, no, there was one who only bought one, the stranger Mingmei had seen earlier, Lou Jia.

However, when the other party bought the bento box, Mingmei’s system didn't seem to register the corresponding credit points.

Mingmei: ?????
