Luo Bin smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll have food soon. We'll each have a dish and eat as much as we want."

Upon hearing this, Tong Xiaolu let out a "woof" and lay down on the table.

Luo Bin was taken aback. What was going on?

Cui Mingyang was silent for a moment: "It's hard to say about the food right now. Perhaps the game hasn't set any traps in it. Surely they won't really let the players starve to death."

“You said it yourself, ‘maybe.’ Haven’t you gotten used to the game’s style yet?” Xu Qing retorted to Cui Mingyang’s point of view without any politeness.

"Although it won't let us starve, it won't be easy to get a meal. We'll just have to wait and see!"

Luo Bin only then realized something was amiss, and immediately scratched his head with a grim expression: "No way, you mean there might be a trap in the food that's going to be delivered later? Is it poisoned?"

Finding ingredients is already exhausting enough; are you overthinking it?

"How could that be?" Tong Xiaolu said dejectedly, "It's alright if it's poisonous, at least we have an antidote. I'm just afraid that something bad has been mixed in."

However, we acted quickly and avoided many pitfalls when selecting ingredients, so we should be luckier than other players.

"What's the problem?" Hearing this, Luo Bin turned to look at Xiao Jin: "By the way, how come you reacted so quickly when you were picking out the ingredients?"

If Ying hadn't told me it was best to choose vegetarian, I'd still be hesitating between pork and king crab!

Everyone rolled their eyes.

Tong Xiaolu: "You big idiot, all you know is eating!"

This is a supernatural instance; who knows if their meat is real pork or someone else's? They dare to make it, but would you really dare to eat it?

"You mean... ugh~" Luo Bin covered his mouth, his face turning green as if he had just thought of something.

Seeing this, Xiao Jin quickly tapped the table with her finger, pulling everyone back to reality. Before anything even happened, they'd already knelt down.

Moreover, isn't this topic a bit too disgusting?

Xiao Jin waved his hand, and the next second, five chocolates suddenly appeared on the table.

"Wow! Food!" Tong Xiaolu's eyes lit up, and she clearly swallowed.

Xiao Jin distributed the chocolates: "Don't think about it, you'll find out in a bit. You all chose vegetarian dishes, so there's not much room for you to tamper with them."

Since we don't know what will happen next, we'll just have to deal with it for now, at least enough to recover some strength.

It's not that there aren't better options, but other players will be coming out soon, so it's best if they don't stand out too much.

The group took the chocolates and popped them into their mouths.

Tong Xiaolu looked happy: "Mmm~ It's so nice to have storage space. I had just enough points to exchange for it, but I thought it was too expensive, so I didn't. After the price went back to normal, I couldn't afford it anymore."

More importantly, Tong Xiaolu is not an adult and is inherently more disadvantaged in some aspects.

Even though she had points, she used them all to redeem items that could enhance her strength. Storage space is indeed very convenient to have, but not having it is just a little sad.

Therefore, it was not among her first requirements.

Others are in a different situation. Either they don't have enough points to redeem their items, or they have enough points and have spent them all on item upgrades, leaving them with no spare points.

In a sense, the people at this table couldn't even scrape together a single storage space...

Before the other players returned, the group quickly ate the chocolate and drank some yogurt, finally easing their hunger pangs.

After destroying the **bag to cover up the evidence, the players in the kitchen gradually returned to the front hall.

Judging from their appearance, the group could imagine how fierce the battle inside must have been. And of the fifty-odd people, about ten had come out short of them.

These players were all disheveled and covered in dirt. Their expressions didn't look happy, and their eyes seemed to be gleaming with anger as they looked at those around them.

This must be a complete feud!

Xiao Jin remained silent, but his gaze swept across the crowd before landing on Xiao Xin, whose eyes were filled with a smile.

Wow, she's really lucky. You can tell from her expression that she got the ingredients. I wonder who that unlucky player was.

Xiao Xin was still somewhat shaken when she sat down.

She didn't have enough badges, and Li Le refused to help her. She thought she would never get the badges for this project again, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.

Players who fail to collect ingredients launch an attack on the other side.

Xiao Xin's items were not biased towards the side of the battle, so when the chaos started, she was only concerned with finding a place to hide, so as not to be affected by other players who were in a frenzy of fighting.

However, Xiao Xin wasn't just focused on hiding. While hiding, she also took the opportunity to observe her surroundings to see if there was any room for her to maneuver.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out she had indeed bumped into something.

These players were practically beating the dog's head off; they were all bloodthirsty, including Li Le, the guy Xiao Xin had been following.

At first he looked smug, but now half of his body has been blasted away somewhere.

Of course, anyone Xiao Xin could choose wouldn't be too weak; the person he fought was broken in two and was beyond dead.

A bag of duck feet and a packet of hawthorns were lying on the ground. She quickly bent down and pounced to pick up the food.

Xiao Xin's face lit up with joy, but as soon as she stood up, she saw a male player holding a knife, staring at the food in front of her chest with bloodshot eyes.

The other person's face was covered in blood, and there was a long gash on his neck from which blood was gushing out. At his feet lay a motionless person and a lotus root that had been smashed to pieces.

Xiao Xin was stunned for a moment, then reacted very quickly. Before the other party could pick up the knife, she nimbly threw the duck feet in her hand, which hit the man right in the arms.

The other player was equally stunned, but when he saw Xiao Xin smile at him, he immediately understood what was going on.

He wiped the blood off his face, swallowed a red pill, and then gave Xiao Xin a look that said, "You're smart to know what's good for you."

After that, Xiao Xin followed behind the player named Li Qi. The only badge left in the pocket of his old lover, Li Le, naturally went to Li Qi.

When I came to my senses, I was suddenly struck by a rapid but orderly sound of wheels sliding.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the sudden sound, and they all looked up at the same spot.

About twenty waiters in neat uniforms pushed carts full of goods, walking steadily and quickly toward the players.

On the cart, there are three shelves, and on each shelf are two dishes carefully arranged. They are completely covered with covers, so you can't see what's inside at all.

The players sniffed the air carefully, but apart from a faint smell of incense ash, there was nothing else.

Everyone was taken aback. Was it really that mysterious?

However, many people were quite impatient with this boring format and wished the waiters would bring the food quickly, as they were starving.
