“They’ve agreed to the deal, ask them,” a hen with bright, piercing eyes said to Xia Chuhe and the others who had caught up with them.

Staring at him with the hen's open and honest gaze, Xia Chuhe suddenly felt a surge of intense panic and doubt. He feared that Li Yue might not be able to leave this instance, and doubted that his methods would work.

"Hehe~ It's okay, it's okay~"

Xia Chuhe's lips twitched.

Li Yue said, "Smile, it's my choice."

Bu Yi twitched his fingers slightly and whispered in Xia Chuhe's ear, "I asked about her fate, and it's moderately auspicious."

Asking about the auspicious result was like giving Xia Chuhe a reassurance.

We absolutely cannot let Li Yue's efforts go to waste. Xia Chuhe asked, "How do we draft the law?"

The shadowy figure was indeed honest, echoing the others:

"Three fundamental laws".

"Countless people signed contracts and obeyed."

"It can be perfected into a law on its own."

It seems that laws written in this world can self-improve as long as there are three basic laws and a sufficiently large group of people who agree to them.

Xia Chuhe then asked, "What is the basic principle of the dietary law?"

"Rule number one: The customer is king!"

Article 2: Diners shall enjoy equal rights.

"Article Three: After signing the contract, you voluntarily become food, and the food will be used to feed diners!"

These three laws not only give rise to the behavioral logic of the Meal Law, but also serve as the behavioral guidelines for the copy world.

Xia Chuhe was greatly puzzled, and the others had the same question.

"The formation of dietary laws requires the obedience of countless people. Why would exploited ingredients obey rules that are detrimental to themselves?"

"What about the store manager and the waiters? Why weren't they included?"

"If drafting a new law is so simple, why hasn't the Dining Law been replaced yet? The quantity of ingredients clearly far exceeds the number of diners..."

"..."

The shadowy figure said, "Too many questions. Sign another one and answer two."

Li Qiusheng volunteered and raised his hand: "I can sign!"

Xia Chuhe slapped her hand: "That's enough, that's enough."

Just now, reminded by Bu Yi's words, she also silently asked about Li Yue's fate, but the result she received was "there is no better choice," which seemed quite helpless and still full of uncertainty. Regarding the ending of the dungeon, the answer was also "this is an opportunity," an ambiguous answer.

Xia Chuhe dared not gamble another partner's fate on an uncertain outcome.

Even if we don't get the dungeon core, at least there seems to be nothing that threatens our lives for the remaining five days.

The answer given by the shadowy figure was enough for them to draft a new law.

As for "why the ingredients obey," Xia Chuhe had a guess. The shadowy figure was referring to "contractual obedience," and the key to this obedience was probably in the "Ingredient Contract" that Li Yue had just signed.

Xia Chuhe said, "Let's first determine the baseline law."

"Equality for all? Freedom?" Li Qiusheng quickly composed himself.

Wang Yan also reflected: "Fairness and justice mean that power and responsibility must be equal. No one can enjoy power all the time, nor should anyone be forced to keep giving."

Bu Yi added: "If someone makes a mistake, they should be punished."

Lu Danggui reminded Bu Yi: "The detailed rules will improve themselves; we only need to provide the baseline laws."

Even after transforming into a chicken, Li Yue didn't forget to offer advice to the team: "Don't forget to avoid similar incidents like the meal law, and... if the new law really succeeds in replacing the meal law, will another unfair law emerge to replace the new one?"

Li Yue's question silenced everyone. They hoped Xia Chuhe's method would succeed. But if it did, it would mean that six or fewer people might exploit loopholes and create a new law for their own selfish desires.

Lu Dangui broke the silence with a cold voice: "We're only staying in the instance for five days, don't think too much about it."

Xia Chuhe was still pondering. She recalled what the god had said in the Bird Island instance: the instance was actually a small extension of another world. Their actions might indeed affect the operation of the instance world to some extent.

In the final set of fundamental laws, Li Yue's concerns were still fully considered. The new law's laws are—

Everyone is equal;

A fair trial;

Later generations can only improve upon this law in the direction of fairness and equality.

The moment these three laws were established, Xia Chuhe suddenly understood why laws are always so lengthy; a new law with only three laws really doesn't inspire confidence...

To get more people to sign up and agree with the law, we need to print it out.

Fortunately, the vending machine has a printer and white paper. A printer and two reams of paper only require four energy values.

To attract more food suppliers to sign the new law, the paper not only printed out the baseline laws but also added many clauses to balance diners and food suppliers. Of course, these are referred to as "people," and if the new law can replace the dining laws, then "diners" and "food suppliers" will no longer exist in the copy.

The new law was named the "Equality Treaty".

Li Yue was the first "ingredient" to sign the equal treaty.

However, when she imprinted her bloody claw marks on the treaty of equality, nothing changed.

The shadowy figure watched with great interest for a while, then kindly reminded him, "The number of people who have signed contracts with Catering Law is enormous; you won't succeed."

The implication is that too few people have signed equal treaties, and the law of the meal takes precedence.

Xia Chuhe stared blankly at the dark figure.

The shadowy figure encouraged Li Yue to sign the "Ingredient Contract" and was also responsible for tasks such as tax collection. It's a bold guess that their abilities are linked to the law; the more people who agree with the laws of food, the stronger the shadowy figure becomes.

But they are willing to sell their food laws for the sake of having one more signatory.

This only shows that their abilities are linked to the law, but this law doesn't have to be the law of food.

Whether the new law can replace the dining law or not, it will have no impact on the shadowy figure.

...

Xia Chuhe distributed the printed equality treaty to everyone: "What we need to do next is find a way to get more people to sign the equality treaty. Once we have enough signatories, we can defeat the Food Law, right?"

Although her body had shrunk to the size of a chicken, Li Yue still wanted to do more, and she also received a thin stack of contracts from Xia Chuhe.

However, before Li Yue could leave the back street with the others, the shop manager stopped her: "Have you found a job? There's a job here, what do you want to do?"

"No," Li Yue refused.

Xia Chuhe stood in front of Li Yue, his tone unfriendly: "She works in our shop, don't try anything with her!"

Xia Chuhe deliberately turned up his voice to deter the other shop owners who were also eager to try their luck.

Because of this little incident, Li Yue was unable to go out with the others to distribute the equality treaty.

As for food, it's safer to leave it in a closed restaurant. Outside, there are not only restaurant owners and customers, but also all sorts of scoundrels like tigers, leopards, and wolves.
