I'm selling bento in escape game

Chapter 624 Fighting for Water
"here it is……"

Mingmei opened her eyes, looked up at the dark sky, the street lamp light above her head made her feel a little dizzy.

At this moment, a cold snowflake fell into her pupils. The cold stimulation made Mingmei close her eyes and lower her head. When she opened her eyes again, she saw a layer of snow falling on the ground. There was a thin layer of fine snow, and there was an insulation bag at her feet.

"This is the ancient blue star."

Mu Chen's voice came from behind Mingmei. Mingmei turned her head to look like Mu Chen. Before she could speak, she heard the other party say: "What do you sell this box of lunch for?"

What Mu Chen hadn't said for a long time brought Mingmei back to her senses in an instant.

In this round, she once again became a businessman selling boxed lunches.

At this moment, there is a line of words on the outside of the huge insulation bag at her feet - "Lunch Set".

Bright: ...

No matter how you look at it, it's still very casual.

At will, she wondered if she had really become a box lunch businessman again.

"Meat clip mo set meal."

Mingmei replied following the content that popped up in the background of the system.

As she said, she first browsed the box lunches sold this time

[Premium Roujiamo + pure water set meal, full or hungry, one meal lasts for three days. 5 points/part;
Ordinary Roujiamo (the pinnacle of technological hard work) + drinking water package, one meal is worth one day, 1 point per serving. 】

Regarding this, Mingmei looked at the system introduction, her head was full of doubts.

Is the box lunch so stretched this time?

Don't you just take care of the set meal?
Can this be sold too?
What made Mingmei speechless the most was that this time, there was a note under the boxed lunches that if the merchant ate the boxed lunch, points would be deducted as well, and the effect would be halved if the merchant ate the boxed lunch.

Bright: Why?!

"Two servings of high-quality meat buns." Mu Chen chuckled, seeing Mingmei's skeptical expression on her face after she was in a daze, he guessed what she was surprised about, probably because of the effect of this lunch box?
"This ordinary one seems to be more cost-effective." When Mingmei helped Mu Chen take out high-quality meat buns and a bottle of purified water, she wanted to persuade Mu Chen to save a little.

She remembered why they were in the game.

[Sorry, because there are still many new students who have not arrived, the choice of this dormitory cannot start immediately, so please play another game and wait for the students in the future. 】

Thinking about this reason, Mingmei and the others were really galloping _(: 3」∠)_
"Look at that water." Mu Chen handed over the Roujiamo and purified water to Mingmei. After listening to his words, Mingmei lowered her head and looked at the drinking water that comes with ordinary lunch boxes.

The one looked at the water with a bit of turbidity and yellowing, and Mingmei immediately answered, "Isn't it? Can this be used as drinking water?"

"It's really drinkable, but I won't die if I drink it." Mu Chen leaned under the street lamp made of steel by the side of the road, eating meat buns, and the heavy snow falling down under the dim street lamp also brought some dark yellow.

When Mingmei was wondering about the background of this game, Mu Chen had already finished a portion of Roujiamo, drank half a bottle of pure and transparent pure water in one breath, and said, "The background of this game may not be the last one of Gu Lanxing. A scene."

"Is this time?"

Ming Mei was stunned, she and Muchen were completely covered by the huge shadow cast by the occasional airship flying overhead.

"Yes, the history of the ancient blue star, Meimei, have you read it?"

"See, the war on water resources."

This is the history of the ancient blue star before it was stolen by the stars and the Zerg.

Because of the serious pollution of water resources, in the end, all countries are fighting and focusing on water resources.

Mingmei narrowed her eyes, looked at the insulation bag at her feet, and finally realized who the main character in this lunch box was.

"Do you have any goals for this round?" Mingmei asked Mu Chen in a low voice. After becoming a hot character selling boxed lunches, Mingmei understood that her mission was different from other people's.

"Repel the star robbers and safely evacuate from the ancient blue star."

After Mu Chen finished speaking in a low voice, Ming Mei looked up at the other party's bottomless eyes. Seeing Mu Chen followed by a slight nod, as if acquiescing to Ming Mei's guess, Ming Mei's lips murmured for a long time, and finally turned into a sigh .

[So, even when my uncle made the game, he tacitly agreed that the ancient blue star will be abandoned in the end? 】

Muchen still had his own role to do, so he exchanged address and contact information with Mingmei and left. Mingmei stood where she was and couldn't help asking the questions in her heart.

[The host, in the original form of the ancient blue star, was ruined like that. Even if the star source was not invaded by the Zerg, relying on the ancient blue star's own purification function, it would take tens of millions of years of purification to ruin the ancient blue star humans. The appearance is restored to the original.And at that time, the ancient blue star's technology couldn't fight against the Zerg at all. 】

Guigui stated the facts with a bit of sarcasm in her tone, Mingmei didn't say much after hearing that.

After all, what the ancient blue star people did was really embarrassing.

[The reason why the ancient blue star was able to preserve some humans was mainly because the star thieves captured them and prepared to sell them as slaves on the black market. Otherwise, they would basically not be able to escape when the Zerg invaded. 】

As an artificial intelligence brain, Guigui definitely knows more than Mingmei. Although Mingmei has also browsed the history of the ancient blue star, she is not so detailed.

"So, what time is it?" Mingmei glanced at the electronic watch on her wrist, then carried her insulation bag and prepared to leave, returning to the address set in the game.

[One month before the Star Thief invaded, there was still one and a half months before the Zerg came over. 】

Guigui gave Mingmei the exact time.

"Do the other players know?"

[Look at their historical reserves~] Guigui spread his hands and said that there is nothing in the game that suppresses the knowledge you usually learn. If you have read this history before entering the game, then there is absolutely no problem. !

Regarding this, Mingmei just wanted to ask, besides the Hualan Stars, who else would be able to read this period of history?
……

"Hey! Why is the water in this place this color?"

Dressed as a staff member of the community cafeteria, Lu Xiaoyao spends her whole day cooking meals for people coming and going at this window. When a large plate of dishes is gone, the back kitchen brings them up immediately, and she can't help but catch her breath. She didn't even have a chance to drink, let alone drink water. She had been busy until late at night before she took off her apron and prepared to return to her residence according to her status and role with the meals prepared by the back kitchen.

Before leaving, someone called her to tell her not to forget to fetch a bottle of hot water for drinking.

But, who would have thought that the color of the hot water would be yellow?

Her exclamation also caused other staff members who had not yet left.

"What's the matter?" Several NPCs in the back kitchen thought something was wrong when they heard Lu Xiaoyao's words, and stepped forward quickly.

"This water is yellow!"

Seeing Lu Xiaoyao's appearance of yelling like a mob, the other people really seemed to be surprised, and some even showed a bit of contempt for her, saying: "What's the matter, is this yellow surprised?"

"Don't you..."

"Don't you want to say that it's not brown?" Someone took the first step and cut off the last half of Lu Xiaoyao's unanswered question, and replaced it with this sentence.

Lu Xiaoyao: ?? ??

Drinking water still brown?

Fat house happy water?
"Hey, the small place is from the small place, I'm afraid I've never seen such clear water~"

Lu Xiaoyao's eyes widened when she said this.

Funny, right?

It's all this color, how dare you tell me that your water is clear?

Being surrounded by a group of aunts watching her like a monkey, Lu Xiaoyao stopped pestering her, smiled awkwardly, filled half a pot of hot water, and hurriedly left the place with a box of lunch.

There was only a burst of chatter with her as the center of the discussion behind.

After walking far away from the community cafeteria, Lu Xiaoyao took a deep breath of the cold air, and finally let herself relax, and began to take out the character information and game background that she hadn’t read carefully before because she was busy entering the game over again.

Lu Xiaoyao laughed twice when she saw that Gu Lanxing was causing tension in various countries because of water resources.

"There are so many countries on such a big planet?"

It is not the first time for Lu Xiaoyao, who grew up in the interstellar world, to know that there were many independent regimes on the ancient blue planet, but every time she reads it, she still finds it fresh.

And this competition for water resources made her sneer even more.

"They are all on the same planet, and the water is constantly circulating. Are some countries really ignorant?"

After Lu Xiaoyao finished complaining about the origin story of the ancient blue star's water resources war, she had already returned to her own residence, a 40-square-meter single apartment.

Right now, due to the shortage of water resources in the entire Ancient Blue Star, as a country with a large population, country H is uniformly distributed from food to water sources. In the community cafeteria, each person has three meals a day, a water bottle that Lu Xiaoyao brought back just now, a People are limited to carrying one bottle of drinking hot water every day.

After taking a bite of food, Lu Xiaoyao's expression immediately changed.

There was an unspeakable strange smell inside that made her vomit out in the next second.

"The color of this soup is not just soy sauce, but also because of the water?" Lu Xiaoyao finally realized that even her drinking water is like this. What kind of water can she use for the meals she brought back?

Facing the same problem as Lu Xiaoyao, there are many players who have entered this game.

The character Hu Yue came in this time turned out to be an air force pilot. Hu Yue still felt very fresh about driving such an almost antique-level thing. She trained with other NPCs in the game for a while in the afternoon, and before dinner Listening to the squad leader talk about the international situation that she has never heard of.

Good guy, that complicated thing is much more exciting than the relationship between the empire and the federation!

As a result, Hu Yue also had a difficult time during dinner.

"Why is this rice this color?"

Hu Yue looked at the yellowish-grey rice, if the shape of the rice was not similar to the rice in the Hualanxing restaurant she usually ate, she would have suspected that this was another extinct staple food of ancient Lanxing!
"Just rice." The comrade opposite stared at Hu Yue suspiciously, not understanding why she was surprised.

"Why is it this color? Isn't the rice all white?"

Hu Yue didn’t ask, but when she asked this question, her comrade-in-arms directly said angrily: “You don’t mean to use pure water to cook rice, do you? Why do you have the nerve to say such a luxurious thing? Usually, people like us Being able to drink pure water is already the best treatment, why are you getting more and more outrageous?"

Hu Yue:?? ?
"Then, you can't use this water, this water can..."

"I have been drinking this kind of water since I was a child. Is there any problem?"

A flash of anger also flashed in the eyes of that comrade-in-arms, Hu Yue was dumb when she saw this, she didn't say anything, just took a mouthful of food, it was so bad that she almost vomited it out to anger everyone.

Hu Yue hurriedly picked up the background of the game to browse.

She didn't think much of it when she heard everyone shouting the slogan "Fight for water" during the day.

After all, the treatment of their pilots seems to be much better than others, and they drink pure water during the day, and she didn't realize the seriousness of the slogan "Fight for water" for a while.

Now, hearing the slight anger of the NPC and the rice in the cafeteria, Hu Yue also had to revisit the game background explained in the characters...

Single apartment in the same community as Lu Xiaoyao,

When Mingmei turned on the faucet and was about to wash her face, she saw the red rust-colored tap water less than half a finger thick flowing out of the faucet, and fell silent.

[Host, save water, turn on the tap when not in use. 】

Guigui reminded her, and Mingmei immediately turned on the faucet, then stood in front of the sink in a daze.

"Just now, was that normal?" Mingmei doubted life.

Is that tap water?

No matter how it looked like the faucet hadn't been used for a long time, dirty water with rust stains rushed out when it was opened.

[Yes, the drinking water resources here are controlled, and you must go to the designated place to fetch water. The water that is usually connected to the residence is domestic water. 】

"No, is this domestic water?"

Mingmei couldn't tell whether the water could wash her face or her hair. Wouldn't the color really get dirtier the more she washed it?

When Mingmei was staring at the bathroom sink in a daze, her door was knocked again. Mingmei immediately walked to the door and saw Muchen through the cat's eyes, and then opened the door.

"How did you come?"

When Mingmei was asking questions, her eyes fell on an object that she couldn't see clearly in a plastic bag in Mu Chen's hand.

"Simple water purification device." After Mu Chen came back, he noticed the water problem here. Thinking of Mingmei, he made a simple water purification device with the existing resources at hand.

"My God! How did you know what I needed?" Mingmei took it over in surprise, looking at the somewhat bulky, hourglass-shaped water purification device, which contained a complete set of materials.

Because the water resource war has been going on for many years at this time, this simple device seems simple, but the purification materials in it have been collected and managed by the higher authorities for a long time, Mu Chen got these in a short time, which shows that he It's hard work.

"When I saw the water, I knew what you needed."

But Mu Chen didn't brag about how he got it, he just showed a gentle smile to Mingmei, Mingmei's heart trembled fiercely, her eyelashes quivered slightly, and she looked at the broken snow on his shoulder.

By coincidence, she stepped forward in two steps, got very close to Mu Chen, stretched out her hand, and gently swept the broken snow off Mu Chen's shoulder.

Just when she lowered her arm, for an instant, Mingmei only felt her waist tighten.

She raised her head and made eye contact with the other person. The distance between the two is so close that you can feel each other's breath. Just a little more——

"Bah, bah, bah! I, Lu Xiaoyao, would not eat these even if I jumped from here!"

At this moment, there was a door opening sound from next door to Mingmei, accompanied by the sound of cursing, directly breaking the charming atmosphere of the two...

　Lu Xiaoyao: 0.0 Sorry! !

　　Muchen: ...

　　Bright: ...

　　Thank you baby Kahlen for voting for a monthly ticket~
　　Thanks to the little baby all the way for twelve porridge to vote for a monthly ticket~
