Chapter 30 Purchasing and... Being Purchased?
The two began purchasing supplies.
On March 7th, Lu Li pushed the cart to the snack section, while Lu Li headed towards the vegetable section.
However, just as he stood in front of a pile of carrots, a female researcher finally mustered up the courage to cautiously approach him.
"Um... excuse me..."
Lu Li pretended not to hear and focused on picking carrots.
Hmm, this one is good.
It's thick and hard, and looks very nutritious.
I'll buy it for Ka... no, for Pam.
Very risky.
I almost got misled by the content on the screen.
"Excuse me... are you... Mr. Lu Li?"
Lu Li: "..."
"No, you've mistaken me for someone else."
Lu Li didn't turn his head; his voice came out muffledly from behind his mask.
Hearing Lu Li's deep voice, the female researcher was somewhat disappointed.
"I see... I'm sorry to bother you..."
Those around sighed.
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, playing dumb was the best solution.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll quietly complete my purchases and then—
"Lu Li—which of these two is the coffee that Sister Ji Zi ordered?"
March 7th appeared out of nowhere, holding two bags of coffee powder with a very loud voice.
Lu Li: "..."
It's not March.
Didn't I tell you not to call me by my name?!
March 7th also realized what was happening, and seeing the sudden brightening eyes of those around him: "..."
March 7th quietly looked away, stuck out her tongue, and said, "I was so engrossed in buying snacks that I forgot."
"Hehe~"
Lu Li: "..."
Hey hey, dang da yo!
But no matter how helpless he felt, things had already exploded around him.
"Did I hear that right? Did that girl just call him Lu Li?"
"The name matches!"
"Even though he's wearing a mask, those eyes, that height—it's definitely him!"
The female researcher was so excited her face was flushed. "Lu Li! I knew it was you!"
"Please, could you please take off your mask and glasses? This is my lifelong request!"
Lu Li: "..."
Miss, your life has been far too cheap.
Looking at the crowd around him, all of whom were also full of anticipation, Lu Li knew that he couldn't leave without making things clear.
He sighed and took off his mask.
"Wow—it really is! It's exactly the same as in the sky!"
"It's Lu Li alive!!!"
Lu Li: "..."
Have you ever seen a dead one...? Oh, there was one in the sky yesterday.
That's fine.
But why do I feel like I'm a big star?
This prosperous era is just as you wished, System.
After silently complaining to myself.
Lu Li looked helplessly at the excited female researcher in front of him, "Lu Li is indeed my name, and I know who you are looking for."
"But I'm sorry, I'm really not the one you're talking about..."
The female researcher was taken aback.
Then, as if he had just realized something, a look of sudden understanding appeared on his face.
"Ah! I'm so sorry! I admit my mistake!" she said, bowing as she apologized.
"That's right, how could you possibly be Mr. Lu Li..."
"Mr. Lu Li has already... Waaah... You look just like him..."
"I'm sorry, I brought up something painful..."
Lu Li: "?"
No, you're the one who's sad.
Why am I sad?
The surrounding crowd also realized what was happening.
"So that's not it after all..."
"But it really looks like him, almost exactly the same. When he took off his mask, I thought Lu Li had come back to life."
"Yes, especially those eyes. Although they didn't look very bright, they really resembled that gentle gaze in the sky at the end..."
"Could he be Mr. Lu Li's brother?"
"Possibly! Otherwise, how could they look so alike?"
"I remember there was indeed someone online with the same name and appearance as Lu Li. I even followed him because I thought it was funny... Could this be him?"
"It seems that's true. I heard that person is currently at the Black Tower Space Station."
"Waaaah... Seeing him reminds me of Mr. Lu Li, and my heart aches so much..."
For a moment, the supermarket was filled with sobs and whispers.
Lu Li: "..."
Lu Li silently looked at the culprit, March 7th.
March 7th: "..."
Looking around at the crowd, some watching them while wiping away tears.
March 7th swallowed hard and whispered, "Lu, Lu Li, what do we do now?"
What should I do?
What else can we do but quickly buy what we need and escape this troublesome place?
Lu Li glanced around without leaving a trace.
Fortunately, not many people have discovered he's here yet...
"Hey, look at that person, doesn't he look familiar?"
"It seems so, given his height and build..."
"Lu...Lu Li?"
"Wow! It really is Lu Li!"
"It really is! It's exactly the same as in the sky!"
It was as if a passerby's shout had dropped a bomb on a calm lake.
"Where? Where is the God of Pure Love?"
"Holy crap! Alive! It really is alive!"
"Quick, quick, let's take some photos! This is a world-class tourist attraction!"
"My crush! Look here! I love you!"
Lu Li: "..."
Why does it always feel like the will of the world is against him?
No matter how unwilling Lu Li was, the entire commercial street was in an uproar upon hearing the commotion.
In an instant, countless researchers, staff members, and security personnel swarmed in from all directions like cats smelling fish, surrounding Lu Li and his companion completely.
The supermarket was instantly packed with people.
These newcomers hadn't heard Lu Li's previous "explanation" and obviously equated Lu Li directly with the [Lu Li] in the sky.
Flashes of light, screams, and declarations of love rose and fell in waves.
The scene was even crazier than the top-tier concerts of my previous life.
Lu Li was completely dumbfounded.
He had anticipated that he might be recognized, but he didn't expect it to be such a big deal.
He felt that he wasn't there to buy, but rather to be bought.
And why is it different from what he thought? Wasn't he supposed to be a "meal replacement"?
Is this what they call a meal replacement?
Is this what you call a proper meal?!
"Excuse me! Please make way!"
On March 7th, he spread his arms wide and tried to block Lu Li's way, attempting to maintain order.
But her small frame looked like a leaf that could be overturned at any moment in the face of this crowd.
"Mr. Lu Li! What are your thoughts on the past revealed on the screen?" A reporter squeezed in from somewhere.
"Lu Li, my god, what happened between you and Kafka in the end?!" A girl's eyes sparkled.
"God of War! Give me your autograph! Sign it on my protective suit—no, sign it on my body!" A burly man excitedly took off his shirt.
Lu Li: "..."
He finally understood why some celebrities travel with more than a dozen bodyguards.
This is even more terrifying than facing an antimatter army!
Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, a voice pierced through all the noise.
"What's going on? Why is everyone gathered here?"
"Have you finished all your work?"
"You don't want this month's bonus?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it had a peculiar penetrating power.
The noisy scene instantly quieted down.
The crowd automatically parted to both sides, making way for them.
A young woman with striking red hair, dressed in an exquisite gown, walked over, surrounded by bodyguards in black.
He is the nominal stationmaster of the Black Tower Space Station.
Estádio.
