Chapter 168 Have you eaten today?

China is a great nation with a long history, and it attaches great importance to dining. There is an old saying: "Eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a light dinner."

Yin Zhu's diet was very unhealthy when she was on Blue Star. She would often eat a quick breakfast and then eat a big meal for lunch and dinner. Whether it was healthy or not, I don't know, but spicy food was definitely delicious.

As for Yin Zhu's daily routine, when she was in college, she would not go to sleep until midnight, and if she didn't have an early class, she would sleep straight until midnight.

Early to bed and early to rise? You're kidding.

In addition, she sits all day long, and if she doesn't consistently practice Kegel exercises every day, Yin Zhu would suspect that she has hemorrhoids.

To motivate herself, Yin Zhu even wrote the character "提" (ti, meaning to remind or encourage) on her phone's screen saver.

However, since arriving in Sin City, Yin Zhu has been going to bed at 8 o'clock every day and falling asleep by 10 o'clock at the latest. She wakes up at 6 o'clock. The breakfast provided by the cafeteria is a carefully prepared nutritious meal, which makes Yin Zhu feel like she has returned to elementary school.

The difference is that now I don't have parents to wake me up, and I don't have to go to school. I can relax in the nursing home every day and be very carefree.

Yin Zhu felt something was strange about her eating habits, as she crunched the celery in her mouth.

Is pollution in nursing homes only aggravated by violations of rules? If not, why are they constantly contaminated when the rules aren't violated? Since there's a cafeteria, why bother refreshing ingredients at home? The staff meals and seniors' meals in the cafeteria seem identical, so why, after eating food from the seniors' window, do people then try to take their medication?

There is another serious question: what exactly is this "pill"?

Yin Zhu felt that there were still many things about the nursing home that she didn't understand, which was why she didn't act rashly. Just like the "Mr. Horror" in the haunted house, pointing it out wouldn't make the other party admit it; other conditions might be needed to get the "City Lord" to appear.

Using a game as an analogy, it means that certain conditions are needed to trigger the true ending; using a math problem as an analogy, it means that certain necessary and sufficient conditions are needed to prove the answer.

In reality, you always have to guard against the city lord acting like a scoundrel, right?

This city lord was quick-witted and could use his talents to lead a rebellion against the unspeakable, but he was not very brave, so in the eyes of other officials he was always hiding.

If this behavior wasn't due to his personality, then another answer is obvious—his own life was tied to the survival of Sin City, so he didn't dare gamble on what would happen if he encountered an enemy who could pose a danger to him, and simply hid himself away, making himself impossible to find.

Fortunately, Yin Zhu still has enough time to explore.

When the think tank previously gave Yin Zhu a hint, they also mentioned the Holy Radiance of other Chosen Ones in the dungeons. Just as she guessed, similar important characters would appear in each Chosen One's dungeon, and if the "Holy Radiance" wasn't dealt with, the Chosen One's completion time would be significantly shortened.

Due to distrust of the city lord, the various countries did not all imitate each other, but rather made their own judgments.

One of the countries tacitly approved of its chosen ones' assistance to Holy Radiance, since theoretically, if Holy Radiance killed the city lord, it would still achieve the goal of "saving Sin City".

However, the reality is not so simple; the rulers of Sin City will not be easily subdued.

Because of his association with Holy Radiance, the chosen one quickly became a thorn in the side of Sin City. Although not every official recognized the city lord, it did not mean that they would be willing to become the dead under Holy Radiance's blade. Naturally, the chosen one who was close to Holy Radiance also became the enemy of Sin City.

That chosen one's life was completely different from most other chosen ones; he was constantly being hunted and hiding.

The more cover he provided for Sheng Hui in the early stages, allowing Sheng Hui to easily eliminate several supervisors, the worse the Chosen One's situation would be after Sheng Hui was eliminated by the other surviving supervisors. By then, surrendering would be too late; no supervisor would spare his life.

He had no choice but to run away, but he couldn't leave the city of sin. Where could he run to?

In the message relayed by Anzhi, everyone in the Dragon Kingdom's think tank affirmed Yin Zhu's double-dealing behavior of selling information to both sides, and used the Chosen One as a negative example.

Overall, Yin Zhu's stance leans towards Sin City, which provides her with a relatively safe environment.

In almost every storyline, Saint Radiance is destined to die. No matter whether the Chosen One helps him or how they help him, he will eventually be surrounded and killed. As for the natives who had any interaction with him when they first arrived in Sin City, they all wisely sold out the clues about Saint Radiance.

On Yin Zhu's side, Chen Lvdou sold him the beans, while on the other chosen ones' side, it might be red beans, black beans, purple rice, barley, red dates, longan...

Serving another spoonful of honey osmanthus porridge, Yin Zhu had to admit that the cafeteria food was much more refined, unlike her own cooking at the retirement home, where she would just cook whatever was available. Considering the cafeteria staff didn't need to attend to the elderly residents, she guessed they spent their work hours cooking and resting.

I should have known better than to say she was a health and wellness specialist in diet from the beginning.

After finishing her breakfast with a bit of regret, Yin Zhu didn't rush to leave. Although the elderly people were mostly in groups of three or five, there were always a few alone. One of them, an elderly woman in a floral dress, caught Yin Zhu's attention.

It was an old woman, probably in her sixties or seventies, with a face full of wrinkles and a head of white hair that curled up naturally, like a messy chicken coop.

Yin Zhu noticed her thanks to the old man who struck up a conversation with her on the first day.

This time, the old man who liked to point fingers at others didn't come to chat with Yin Zhu after entering the cafeteria. Instead, he carried his food to the old woman in the floral dress, wanting to sit down and say something, but was chased away by the furious old woman.
