64: Chapter 30: Wrapped Up_2 64: Chapter 30: Wrapped Up_2 [I won’t eat the cafeteria food], he would never utter such words that were like digging his own grave.

“The cafeteria food…

seems a bit different from what we usually eat outside.

Apart from tasting really good, it also gives a very strong feeling of fullness,” Wei Liang said, suppressing the fear in his heart, and spoke up to remind him.

“Also, Old Lin, don’t eat too fast.

Just eat at a normal pace,” he added.

Lin Yi nodded, still eating greedily, but soon he realized what Wei Liang meant.

“Huh…

this food?”

He suddenly paused, his brows slowly furrowing, a serious expression appearing in his eyes.

He slowed down his eating pace, started to chew the food in his mouth slowly, and then swallowed it.

Throughout the process, he carefully experienced the changes as the food moved from his mouth to his stomach, and then, he was amazed to find that as the food went down, a warm current emerged from his stomach and spread through his body like trickling streams…

“This…?!”

Lin Yi was shocked; with just a mouthful of food, his whole body felt warm, like he had drunk alcohol in the dead of winter.

“Is this really food?”

What kind of food gives a sensation like steaming in a sauna?!

This food…

isn’t pure!

At that moment, Wei Liang’s voice came again, “Hehe, noticed something?

Is it completely different?”

Lin Yi remained silent, still immersed in the shock brought about by the food.

Wei Liang continued, “This university is built deep in the mountains, and every now and then, there are abnormal weather conditions.

The yin and humidity are so heavy that even staying just a day or two can make your body feel really uncomfortable—either sticky or too dry, definitely not pleasant.”

“But, as long as you come to the cafeteria to eat, that feeling disappears…”

Lin Yi listened attentively.

He hadn’t yet felt the discomfort Wei Liang described, probably because he hadn’t been at the school long enough.

But indeed, as he ate just now, he actually had the sensation of the dampness being steamed out of his body…

“So I suspect…” Wei Liang said with utmost seriousness and gravity, “that there might be Sildenafil Immortal Pills in the cafeteria’s food.”

“Ga?

What Immortal Pill?”

“Sildenafil!”

“What the hell is that?”

Wei Liang put down his chopsticks, opened his mouth wide, and looked at Lin Yi, “Are you kidding me, Old Lin, as a seasoned dude, you don’t even know this?

It’s Brother Wei!”

“…” Lin Yi was sweating bullets, “How the hell would I know that?”

Wei Liang immediately gave him a look of disdain, “Eh~~~ it seems that you’ve only ever been at the first level of a seasoned dude, just fantasizing about stockings and beautiful legs?

Never touched them, huh?

Kekeke…”

Lin Yi glared at him, “You’re laughing so sleazily, believe it or not, I’ll smash this rice in your face?”

“Hehehe, you’re irritated now!

Fine, fine, you’re the boss; I showed you hentai, and now you want to slap rice on my face?”

“…” Lin Yi fell silent, his idea to slap rice on Wei Liang’s face was just a joke, and in the end, he just opened his mouth wide and vigorously shoveled a few more mouthfuls of rice, gruffly said, “As if you’ve touched them?”

Wei Liang said pridefully, “Heh, I’ve touched silk—stockings!”

As he mentioned this, it was as though he had poked something thrilling, his eyes danced with mischief, and he was quite pleased with himself.

In the end, he added, “…without legs.”

“Tss~~~” Lin Yi scoffed and continued to eat his food in silence, “The pot calling the kettle black!

You better keep eating.

Let’s get the hell out of here when we’re done!”

Wei Liang chuckled a couple of times, no longer retorting, and just buried his head and ate.

It must be said, the cafeteria’s rules weren’t wrong—

[During meal queuing and eating, do not respond to communication requests from any strangers nearby.

If you have companions, focus on communicating with them and ignore everything else around.]

Once he started bantering with Wei Liang, the eerie feeling brought by the surroundings gradually subsided, and with the hot food warming his stomach, he felt much more comfortable.

This feeling was like after a tense and thrilling face-off, satisfyingly gobbling up a health pack.

Lin Yi remembered…

the last time Wei Liang came to participate in the experience student program, despite bringing sufficient changes of clothes and some emergency compressed biscuits, he had nearly died.

As Wei Liang put it, bringing your own food isn’t a problem, but eating it just doesn’t have the same effect as the meals in the Cafeteria.

Moreover, he felt dizzy and almost died at school during the last few days, partly because he didn’t go to the Cafeteria due to the weather, choosing instead to stay between the dormitory and Teaching Building all day, surviving on compressed biscuits.

Lin Yi suddenly had a flash of insight!

“Just like Young Master Tian said, if a seven-day experience as a student is a survival game, then one of the functions of the Cafeteria is to provide ‘players’ with health packs!”

“Moreover, this isn’t just any health pack, it’s a powerful health pack with a built-in Purification effect!”

“Three meals a day, that’s three times to replenish health!”

As one spends more time on campus, their body reacts to the environment or other outlined factors in an inevitable and irreversible way, and going to the Cafeteria to eat…

could provide an effective Purification?

Perhaps it’s not necessary to eat all three meals a day in the Cafeteria, because he didn’t eat last night’s dinner or today’s breakfast.

Of course, there might be some deviation here after all, although today is his second day at S City University, considering the time he entered the school, he has only been here for about 12 hours.

“So, it might not be necessary to eat here three times a day, but there definitely is a time limit!”

Lin Yi had a feeling that if his guess was right, this limit might be about three days because Wei Liang mentioned he hadn’t gone to the Cafeteria for two days last time.

“I’ll ask Liangzi about this once we leave the Cafeteria.”

After thinking this much, Lin Yi didn’t continue to delve deeper, as thinking further might involve other factors and rules.

He had already experienced how dangerous it was to overthink in this sunless environment.

So, he simply made up his mind, “I’ll go back to the classroom after eating and write all these thoughts in a notebook!”

…

As the two were focusing on their food, Lin Yi suddenly felt someone pass by on his right side and then stop right beside him.

Lin Yi frowned alertly, but because of the Cafeteria rules, he decided not even to look.

Accompanied by a gong-like sound, a tray was placed beside him.

Lin Yi’s frown deepened…

But because of the Cafeteria rules, he still decided not even to look.

With a slow hissing sound, he felt someone pull out the chair next to him.

Then someone sat down.

Lin Yi’s frown deepened…

But because of the Cafeteria rules, he still decided not to look—

Cough, cough, he instead quietly held the edge of his chair and moved it slightly to the side, distancing himself a little from the person who had just sat down.

But at that moment, he suddenly noticed a shadow on the dining table to his left.

Apparently, someone had stood there at some point, and, just like before, another identical tray was placed on the table.

Two trays, two people, seemed to be cornering him.

“Anomalies denote monsters…” Lin Yi worriedly rubbed his increasingly sore frown, feeling a sense of unease.

He quietly moved his chair back to its original place and buried his head to eat eagerly.

But after only a couple of bites, he heard footsteps as if several people had approached their table and then sat down with uniform motions…

The Cafeteria’s tables and chairs are uniformly blue tables with blue plastic chairs, available in six-seat and eight-seat configurations, and Lin Yi and Wei Liang were sitting at an eight-seater.

Now, the eight-seater table was completely filled.

Moreover, it seemed even more people were converging towards them.

As Lin Yi continued eating while listening to the sounds around him, he suddenly heard Wei Liang across him making a “gurgling” sound as if he was hurriedly munching on some dish.

Seeing Lin Yi motionless, Wei Liang’s noise involuntarily increased: “Golagulga…”

As he spoke, he kicked Lin Yi’s leg with his left foot.
