Ye Ling's eyes lit up and a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She licked her lips excitedly, as if a cheetah had found its prey.

It seems that there is really someone behind Jinx!

She turned to look at Jinx, her eyes even sharper, and said directly, "It seems your helper is not very good. I found it so quickly!"

Jinx's face froze, her eyes filled with disbelief and panic. She began to panic and said with forced composure, "I... I don't know what you're talking about! This... this is all just your own speculation!"

Ye Ling was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. She patted Bron's shoulder and shouted to the people around them: "Brothers, it seems that we have found the ingredients!"

With the help of Bron, Ye Ling avoided the merchants monopolized by the mysterious man and successfully purchased some spices from some small suppliers. A bright smile appeared on her face.

"That's great, Ye Ling!" Bron jumped up excitedly, and the contestants around him also cheered for her. The atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, Orianna suddenly raised her head.

Ye Ling originally thought that Orianna had been completely frightened by Jinx, but she didn't expect her to stand up at this time. A warm feeling suddenly rose in her heart.

She gave Orianna an encouraging look, motioning her to continue.

Orianna took a deep breath, as if she had made some important decision, and said quickly: "I... I heard Jinx and Viktor discussing... They seemed... seemed to be planning to tamper with the game..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

"What the hell? Is this true? Is it such a big deal?" Braum's eyes widened, looking like he was full from eating too much melon.

The contestants around also stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears, afraid of missing any word.

Ye Ling frowned slightly. It seemed that Jinx was really determined to do something and was even trying to make some tricks in the game?

She sneered, it seemed that she had to learn a lesson.

At this moment, Ye Ling's personal terminal suddenly vibrated, and an encrypted message popped up - "Don't be afraid, I'm here." There were only four words, but they seemed to carry a tremendous force, instantly hitting the softest part of Ye Ling's heart.

It’s Duan Yu!

The corners of Ye Ling's mouth rose slightly unconsciously, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She could imagine Duan Yu being trapped in the cell at the moment, but still thinking about her, and her heart was filled with emotion and love.

She replied with a message: "Wait for me."

Ye Ling regained her spirit and began to prepare ingredients for the competition.

She carefully sorted and processed the purchased spices, and performed every step meticulously, as if she was performing a sacred ritual.

However, just as she was about to start the functional system of the mecha kitchen, she discovered that the energy supply system had abnormal fluctuations, the indicator light flickered, and a shrill alarm sounded.

Ye Ling's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind...

"What's going on?" She whispered to herself, her fingers gently stroking the control panel of the mecha, feeling the cold metal texture, but she seemed to be able to sense a powerful force surging in the dark.

"Beep...beep...beep..." The alarm sounds more and more urgent, as if foreshadowing the coming of a new crisis...

"This..." Braum looked at the flickering indicator light and his expression became serious.

Ye Ling took a deep breath.

"It seems that someone doesn't want me to compete well..."
