Xiao Jin waved her hand: "That's perfect, I hate trouble too!"

She paused for a moment, then asked, "When did you arrive?"

Sui Feng let out a long breath and said seriously, "We arrived about half an hour earlier than you. There were already people in the villa when we came in."

“Brother is right!” Sui Ying came over: “We were also confused when we arrived, but the butler suddenly came out and told us to wait in the living room for a while, and we could start eating once everyone was there.”

Xiao Jin tapped her knee lightly with her fingers: "So none of you have ever gone out?"

“There’s nothing we can do. We’ve tried, but the villa’s door can only be opened from the outside. We can get in, but not out.” Sui Feng shrugged. “Plus, the map has become so strange. Ah Ying and I think it’s better not to make any rash moves for now.”

While the three were talking, all the players sat properly in their chairs. Even though there was food right in front of them, none of them dared to touch it.

There's nothing we can do; who knows why there's so much food in this weird villa!

Perhaps because no one was eating, the old butler's face grew increasingly gloomy. He stared intently at the nearest player and suddenly asked in a low voice, "What? Does the guest not like it?"

Like it? He'd be terrified!

The player being stared at forced an awkward smile: "No...no...I like it, I like it to bits."

"Then why don't you eat?" The butler's voice began to distort slightly as he finished speaking.

Seeing this, the player quickly and shakily picked up a fork, stuck a piece of unknown meat into it, and slowly brought it to his mouth, thinking to himself as he did so.

Why am I so unlucky? Out of so many people, why did they target me? Is this thing even edible? I'm not going to get poisoned!

The other players breathed a sigh of relief. Better to die than lose a friend. Now that someone had already tested the poison for them, they could just adapt to the situation.

Xiao Jin shook his head. This guy was stupid. There were so many edible things on the table, but he had to pick the one that was most likely to cause a disaster.

Why use meat? Broccoli, corn, and cherry tomatoes would be much better!

Then, in front of everyone, the player stuffed the meat into his mouth, chewed it, and then swallowed it with a 'glug'. Everyone stared straight ahead, waiting for his reaction.

Ten seconds passed, and the person was still unharmed.

A minute passed, and the butler grew increasingly impatient. A red light appeared in his eyes, and his gaze towards the other players became increasingly sinister. Yet, the person who had eaten the meat was still alive.

Suddenly, a crisp sound brought the players back to their senses. They instinctively looked over and saw someone boldly picking up utensils and calmly putting food onto their plate.

Before long, the plate was full, and the man began to eat without hesitation.

Wow, that's really bold!

Sui Ying was stunned. Who was her brother's friend? How could he be so powerful? But the next second, a roasted chicken leg appeared on her plate.

Sui Feng calmly withdrew his hand: "What are you still standing there for? Weren't you just starving? Hurry up and eat, then get some rest."

Sui Feng had been observing the situation, but when he saw Xiao Jin make his move, he knew that the banquet was definitely going to be alright.

Great, now he can eat to his heart's content!

After putting a chicken leg on his little silly girl's plate, Sui Feng went all out and soon began to devour it.

Once the other players realized what was happening, they immediately joined the fray. Since there were no problems, why not hurry up and eat? With so much delicious food, who knows when the next meal would be?

Some players even tried to sneak the food into their inventory while eating, but were stopped by the system and had to give up regretfully.

As for Xiao Jin, although his eating manners were much better than Sui Feng's, his eating speed was by no means slow.

Looking back, Xiao Jin wasn't trying to show off by eating first; rather, she noticed that the player being watched by the butler was actually quite normal.

The housekeeper's demeanor made Xiao Jin realize that they had better be sensible and eat the meal, otherwise there might be even worse consequences later.

After making the choice, everything fell into place naturally.

Xiao Jin didn't have time to sit here idly; she should finish eating as soon as possible and move on to the next step.

…………

About twenty minutes later, the players finished their meal, their bellies bulging, and looked at each other rather awkwardly.

Oh dear! I've lost my composure!

Xiao Jin had already finished eating. After putting down his knife and fork, he sat in a chair in a daze, actually thinking about what would happen after he came in.

As the saying goes, "courtesy before force," and once the courtesy is complete, it's time to reveal the true intentions!

It's just unclear what the owner of this villa intends to do.

As she was thinking, Xiao Jin suddenly met a gaze that she couldn't look away from in time. She glanced at Yun Ye, who was burying his head in the sand, and felt somewhat puzzled.

Why is this person always spying on me?

Caught red-handed, Yunye lowered his head in embarrassment, poking at the carrot chunks on his plate with his fork.

He also felt he had lost his mind; otherwise, why would he keep thinking about Xiao Jin ever since he met her once? When he saw her come in at the villa entrance, Yun Ye was quite happy, so he unconsciously glanced at her a few more times, not expecting to be caught red-handed.

But then Yunye suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know the other person's name!

As the banquet ended, the butler's expression returned to normal, and he reverted to his previous indifferent demeanor.

"Everyone, I wonder if dinner suits your tastes."

Everyone naturally praised him repeatedly.

"Very good, thank you for your trouble, butler!"

"Absolutely delicious!"

The players were all extremely 'sincere,' and a perfect smile appeared on the butler's lips, but it looked strangely odd against his face, which showed no movement of his muscles.

"That's good. I've prepared the rooms for the guests. The order in which you arrive will be your room number. However, before you rest, I need to convey an instruction from the host."

It's here!

The players all sat up straight.

"My owner loves playing games and enjoys lively activities, so he has carefully prepared two games. I wonder if we would be honored to invite you, our guests, to participate!"

Playing games?

At this moment, everyone realized that this game was not simple, but some players noticed that the butler's tone was not harsh, and there seemed to be a chance for a turnaround.

Therefore, the man asked, "We have the right not to participate in this game, right?"

Surprisingly, the butler didn't fly into a rage. Instead, he nodded: "Yes, it's entirely up to the guests' own choice, but..."

At this point, the butler gave everyone a meaningful look: "If you choose to participate, you cannot withdraw."
