"Well……"

Someone looked around and suggested, "How about... we go to the school cafeteria?"

The players' eyes lit up instantly. That's right, how could a school not have a cafeteria?

Following the same method as yesterday, the group followed the direction the ghost student had taken and saw a two-story building in the distance with a tall sign that read "Cafeteria".

Everyone rushed into the cafeteria, but Xiao Jin was in no hurry, hanging at the back and looking around.

The cafeteria was dimly lit and dappled, and the air was filled with a mixture of the aroma of food and an indescribable stench of decay, which made one's heart tighten inexplicably.

The appetites that everyone had been aroused were immediately suppressed. Was this really just an ordinary cafeteria?

As Xiao Jin stepped across the threshold, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the charcoal-grilled intestines stall in the very center. Flames leaped, charcoal crackled, and a long queue snaked its way to the back. The numb expressions on the faces of the ghost students, usually so blank, were now unusually tinged with anticipation.

The man, wearing a dark apron and a chef's hat, held a pair of metal tongs in one hand and scissors in the other.

That's not all. The most eye-catching thing is the dried human leg hanging abruptly above the stall. It hangs in mid-air in a strange posture, with shriveled skin and a dull color.

Everyone's pupils contracted sharply, and a chill ran from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads. The first to feel this chill was Guo Yun, who was standing in front, and it was he who suggested coming to the school cafeteria.

Then, something even more frustrating happened to the players.

The moment everyone stepped into the cafeteria, all the ghost students' gazes, as if drawn by invisible ropes, turned to them in unison. Some even clearly saw many ghost students' throats bobbing as they stared at the players, their eyes gleaming with greed.

The legs of the players ahead began to tremble. No words were needed; the fear and resolve in their eyes spoke volumes. The group silently began to retreat, their pace quickening until they were completely out of the cafeteria.

As the last person rushed out of the cafeteria, the oppressive atmosphere seemed to be suddenly torn apart, and the sunlight shone on them again, bringing a long-lost warmth and comfort.

Guo Yun plopped down on the ground, not knowing whether it was from hunger or fear, and felt a sudden darkness before his eyes.

"Oh my god, this is so scary! Waaaaah~" The female player with the ponytail was the first to burst into tears.

The sound of crying brought everyone back to their senses. Some players, recalling the scene inside the house, suddenly turned pale, gagged, and covered their mouths.

Xiao Jin lagged behind and only glanced at the scene inside. Thanks to her, Lu Jing and the others around him didn't have time to see anything.

You can see what other players look like, so what else don't you understand!

"What should we do?" Wu Tianjin asked in a low voice.

"We can't get into the cafeteria. We're going to live in the game for two weeks. We can't just go without eating, can we?"

Even if Xiao Jin and Lu Jing both have storage spaces, let alone whether the supplies inside are enough for the four of them to eat, even if they are, why should the two of them take him and Han Chuan with them?

Furthermore, while the other players are starving, these few are full of energy and have rosy complexions every day in class. If things aren't handled properly, they could attract covetousness and competition.

Xiao Jin naturally understood Wu Tianjin's concerns. Her gaze fell on the second floor of the cafeteria, and she calmly replied, "Of course we have to eat. The school built the cafeteria for students, isn't it?"

Wu Tianjin paused for a moment, seemingly confused: "But..."

"What is your current status?" Xiao Jin asked again.

Lu Jing suddenly raised his hand and chimed in, "We are students studying at Linhai High School."

Xiao Jin nodded: "That's right." In a game, why would the system give you a guaranteed death situation?

She then walked past the players in front of her and strode back into the cafeteria.

Han Chuan hadn't said a word, but after what happened with the ghost knocking on the door last night, he trusted Xiao Jin more than anyone else, so he immediately followed her inside.

Wu Tianjin was left standing behind, completely bewildered.

He kept replaying what had just been said in his mind, muttering to himself, "Identity...identity...student...hmm?Student?"

Wu Tianjin seemed to understand something, suddenly slammed his fist down, and then ran while shouting, "I know, boss, wait for me!"

The actions of the group startled the surrounding players. The players in front looked at Xiao Jin with suspicion, thinking to themselves, "This guy is too bold. The cafeteria is not a place that is easy to enter and leave!"

But then another player from Class 3 thought, this person is a ruthless person who can confront the ghost homeroom teacher and the dormitory 'teachers' head-on, maybe she has some methods!

Just like Wu Tianjin said, they can't just starve for the next two weeks!

Some players gritted their teeth and rushed in again.

After entering, Xiao Jin ignored the intense gazes coming from all around her, scanned the room, and decisively walked over when she saw a small, independent cubicle in the corner.

As they got closer, Wu Tianjin and the others beside Xiao Jin could see clearly that there was a blackboard in front of the small cubicle with the words "Meal Card Recharge Area" written on it.

After entering, Xiao Jin bent her fingers and tapped on the window. Then, a pair of withered hands slowly reached out and pushed the window open.

"I want to top up my account," Xiao Jin stated directly.

The person inside didn't speak, but instead took out a small blackboard and placed it by the window. On it were the rules for recharging the meal card: flesh, organs, and human tissues could all be used to exchange for common currency.

You can also exchange items containing special energy. The exchange price depends on the energy contained in the item.

Then, those withered hands produced a balance scale, with weights on one side and a tray on the other. The other person pointed to the empty tray and gestured for it to be placed down.

"Hiss~" Han Chuan took a deep breath, then glanced at the dried human leg above the head of the charcoal-grilled intestine stall owner.

I wonder what the chances are of him successfully stealing it!

Wu Tianjin glanced at Xiao Jin.

She was right. Those ghost students looked fierce, but they didn't actually mean any harm to them. Besides, the fact that there was an exchange point here meant that the game had given them a place to buy supplies.

But where are they going to get human tissue? Are they going to kill a player?

Wu Tianjin was startled by his own thoughts. He turned around decisively and found that all the players had already followed him in.
