Chapter 26
"If I eat the food here, will I become like it?"
Yitu looked at the big white pig head sticking out of the window and was a little worried.
The man's ears were very sharp, and he heard every word. He said with a smile:
"You're so funny."
Yitu stood in front of the window, being stared at by a pig-headed face, and felt uncomfortable all over.
Three minutes later, a virtual game panel popped up in front of him.
[This purchase earns 100 points. Welcome to visit store No. 79316 next time! ]
Yitu looked at the plate in his hand. There was only a small spoonful of boiled cabbage, stir-fried edamame with black fungus, and barely three mouthfuls of rice.
What cost him 100 JR points?!
In other words, this meal consumed five hours of his life, and Yitu's heart was trembling.
It's outrageous.
"Heartache?"
Jiang Hanyu looked at the person in front of him with an expression of disbelief and hesitation, and couldn't help but curl up his thin lips.
Very fun.
Yitu made way and looked expressionlessly at the pig head whose hands were shaking as he served the food:
"Is this the same price for the entire game, or do you set it yourself?"
The pig head grinned at him, and its mouth full of fangs looked very ferocious.
The most important thing is that Yitu was a little close, and he smelled the blood in the pig's mouth, which was very stinky.
“Although the price is a bit high, you won’t feel hungry all day after eating this meal!”
Pighead rubbed his fat and swollen hands, "We are a conscientious merchant and will never cheat our customers!"
"Especially the fair and tender ones who are so delicious, hehe."
Yitu frowned. "You won't be hungry all day? Then is the cafeteria open at night?"
"No, one meal a day is enough, don't eat more!" Pighead said, and let out a loud pig cry:
"You little pigs, don't be greedy! Those who are greedy are bad students!"
Yitu's ears felt numb from the roar, and he quickly took a few steps back.
The pig's head returned to its original form. It tapped the plate and smiled kindly at the man standing behind Yitu:
"Classmate, what do you want to eat today?"
"Same as him." Jiang Hanyu pointed at the shabby vegetarian dishes on Yitu's plate.
"Okay."
After finishing their meal, the two found a relatively clean table and chairs and sat down.
Yitu tried a bite of the rotten cabbage and found it was not as bad as he had imagined. On the contrary, after the first bite, his stomach no longer hurt.
Very strange.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The purpose of this card room imposing a sense of hunger on the players was too obvious.
It was as if a big pit was set up intentionally, waiting for someone to jump in.
There is also the pig master who thinks they are all piglets. His words "don't be greedy" may have other deeper meanings.
What he didn't expect was that even as a student, he couldn't have a free lunch at school.
Without a campus card, players cannot buy meals like NPC students, so they can only consume game points, which is really unethical.
"You have so many points, why are you eating the same thing as me?"
Yitu glanced at the man's plate. Jiang Hanyu barely touched his chopsticks and didn't have much appetite.
He didn't buy meat not because he was reluctant to spend his points, but because after his first experience in the card game, he no longer trusted any meat in the card game.
Jiang Hanyu also eats the same thing as him, so it can’t be a problem of points.
He had seen the player rankings on the identity card. There were more than a dozen rankings of various sizes.
One of them is the total game points ranking list. The points of the top five players are all in eight digits. It would be great if you could live to be a hundred years old.
And the man sitting in front of him was one of the top five.
Have money but don’t want to spend it?
Jiang Hanyu glanced at him and said calmly, "I have no idea about points, nor am I interested in them."
Yitu: “…” It’s a pity that your surname is not Ma.
Wang Xiaolei and Qu Bai were the second to arrive at the cafeteria after them.
Their hair was not stained by the black snow, but some of it fell on Qu Bai's coat that was blocking the front.
Wang Xiaolei obediently patted her boyfriend's clothes that were stained with snow, and the black stains made his white shirt mottled.
He was startled when Master Pig's friendly greeting came.
Especially that big white pig, with a mouth full of sharp teeth when it smiles, which is very creepy.
Qu Bai rubbed his ahoge, then went over to buy two meals.
Yitu looked up and saw a very rich meal with chicken legs and ribs, and then the two of them sat down next to them.
"Are there no other seats?" Yitu frowned. To be honest, he felt a little crowded.
Wang Xiaolei said with a grin, "You've wiped this place before, it's relatively clean."
".....Serve the people." Yitu also laughed, then lowered his head and continued eating.
Not long after Qu Bai and the others sat down, another group of people came into the cafeteria.
Yitu took a look and saw that all the other players had arrived, and their faces did not look good.
What's more, some of them were running in the snow, and their short-sleeved school uniforms couldn't cover anything at all. Their necks and arms were stained with a strange black color that could not be faded.
The feeling of hunger that the card game deliberately imposed on them was not pleasant, and those who tried to resist all failed.
Many students came and Master Pig became busy. The sounds of pigs squealing one after another were pleasant to the ears.
Yitu felt like he was eating in a pigpen and couldn't eat at all.
He didn't dare to think about it, so he quickly ate his food. Only after he finished eating did he have time to go somewhere else.
Who knew that when he was about to finish eating, two more people sat down next to him and Jiang Hanyu.
Yitu looked up and saw a sweet and well-behaved girl with fair and beautiful skin sitting next to the man.
The girl seemed to feel Yitu's gaze and gave him a shy smile.
A living little white rabbit, Yitu muttered to himself.
"Is this place cleaner than other places?" he said with a smile.
Xi Tao was stunned for a moment, then nodded embarrassedly: "Brother, you don't mind if I sit here?"
"The tables and chairs are not exclusive to his family, so why ask?"
Mu Cheng, who was sitting next to Yi Tu, spoke in an unfriendly tone.
Xi Tao was scolded by him, and a trace of grievance appeared in her almond eyes.
"Eat quickly, the food is getting cold. I ordered your favorite shrimp."
Seeing the girl’s expression as if she was about to cry, Mu Cheng couldn’t help but soften his voice and coax her.
Yitu just looked at this and that and found it quite interesting.
Doesn't this person really think he's so good and so domineering?
After hearing this, Xi Tao finally smiled happily and shyly: "Yeah!"
Yitu: “…”
Just when he was about to give up, Jiang Hanyu stood up, a hint of impatience and anger flashed between his brows.
"Leave."
The feeling of being surrounded by strange smells is really disgusting.
Yitu, who had wanted to leave, quickly stood up as well.
The cafeteria has an automatic conveyor belt for collecting food, and the two planned to put down their plates and leave the cafeteria.
There were two female players sitting at a table near the food conveyor belt.
Yi Tu looked up and saw that one of them was Ji Han, who had become the class monitor, and he didn't know the other one.
The girl looked cold and arrogant, and was tall. Although the two of them sat at the same table, they didn't talk much to each other. It seemed that they were just sitting together to have a meal temporarily.
As Yitu passed by, he saw the tall girl look up and glance in the direction of their previous position.
There was an undisguised flash of disdain in his eyes.
Most of the female players in the card room are looking for strong men, which she has always disliked.
Yitu felt a little confused. He followed the girl's gaze and saw the little white rabbit acting coquettishly with the man with letters on his chin.
The two of them sat together at some point, and although they did not have direct physical contact, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
On the other side, Wang Xiaolei and Qu Bai just stood up. I don’t know if they had finished eating or wanted to change seats.
Yitu was watching seriously when suddenly someone bumped into his shoulder hard.
"Bang!"
The plates that fell to the ground were not only Yi Tu's, but also the person who bumped into him.
The braised pork was mixed with white rice, and the soup and vegetable leaves were scattered all over the floor.
The man cried out in pain and yelled at Yitu:
"Can't you see where you are? All my food is gone, all gone!"
Yitu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted:
"Sorry I didn't notice it just now. I'll buy you a new one."
"Hurry up, hurry up! I'm so hungry, really hungry! Why don't you pay attention and waste my meal..." the man urged.
Yitu hurried to the food window. A white pig-like face appeared, and its red eyes held out a strange look.
"Classmate, what do you want to eat this time?"
Yitu didn't think too much about it. "How many points are needed for these four items: braised pork, duck legs, green vegetables, and steamed eggs?"
Pighead laughed and said, "Classmate, your second purchase will cost you 10,000 points."
Yitu was stunned: "What? Ten thousand?!"
Why don't you go and rob?
The words were on the tip of his tongue but he swallowed them back. It was indeed his fault and he should pay compensation.
"Add another shrimp." Yitu forced a smile.
When he wanted to confirm again whether the man ate shrimp, he was stunned the moment he turned his head.
Yitu looked in disbelief at the player who was kneeling on the ground, frantically stuffing food with his hands. His mouth was already bursting from the stuffing, but he still refused to stop.
As if possessed, he could only see food in his red eyes. However, no matter how much he stuffed himself with food, his appetite still controlled his reason.
I'm so hungry. I can't eat enough.
The man shed tears of pain, and then he began to lick the soup on the ground, completely becoming a slave to his appetite.
"How many times has he bought food?" Yitu looked up at the people coming around.
"The third time." The uncle sitting at the same table with that man said in surprise: "I thought he just eats more..."
"He's not able to eat, he's just greedy." Yitu frowned and asked again:
"What's his name?"
"Liu Ziyi."
Yitu felt inexplicably familiar with the name, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"Liu Ziyi eats pig food?"
Someone laughed out loud, and Yitu looked over and saw that it was the man with the tattoo.
"So the messy words written on the blackboard are the player's death conditions."
At this time, Liu Ziyi, who was lying on the ground, had undergone irreversible changes. His head gradually became round, his ears became wider and wider like fan blades, and his body became swollen and abnormally pale.
He turned into a pig, no different from the pig chef at the food window.
The small door next to the food window opened, and Master Zhu's huge body squeezed out with difficulty.
It walked towards its companion who was still lying on the ground and sticking out his tongue crazily, its mouth cracked open:
"Oh my! How can a little pig eat so much? It will become a big pig if it is not careful!"
It easily dragged up Liu Ziyi, who had turned into a pig. Yitu subconsciously asked:
"Where are you taking him?"
Master Pig turned around and squealed, "This pig owes me a lot of money. He has to stay here and work for me from now on!"
After saying that, a huge pig dragged Liu Ziyi, who had just transformed into a pig, and squeezed into the dining room.
As soon as the newly grown pigs entered the food room, they excitedly jumped onto the stove and stuffed food into their mouths frantically, staining their white color with the soup.
Master Pig couldn't help himself and revealed his greedy nature. He overturned the pot and pan with even greater force, making a mess.
The two pigs ignored the shocked people outside the glass and started this appetite feast unscrupulously.
"vomit!"
No one knew who started it, but the sounds of vomiting continued all around.
In the cafeteria filled with strange smells, Yitu saw his spouse's handsome face, which was completely black.
Jiang Hanyu couldn't stay there for another second and turned around and left the cafeteria.
Yitu suspected that this person was probably a germaphobe. At the very least, Jiang Hanyu's endurance was much lower than that of a normal person.
Since what players eat is the same as what pigs eat, it is inevitable that people will have rich associations.
Although they knew that the food itself was fine, the problem was the horrible and disgusting way the two pigs ate.
"Why is the school cafeteria run by a pig?" Han Wei doubted his life.
"Who the hell knows? Aren't there enough disgusting things in the card room? I don't care about the cafeteria right now. I just want to know the conditions for my own death!"
"Yes, yes, my name isn't on the blackboard yet. I wonder if it's covered in blood."
"The words on the blackboard are a hint in themselves. Just avoid the prerequisites that lead to death."
Qu Bai's voice was as clear as a stream, inexplicably soothing his irritable mood.
"If Liu Ziyi can endure the hunger forced upon him by the card game and avoid entering the cafeteria, the conditions for his death will not be met."
"As a glutton, hunger is more unbearable than for ordinary people." Mu Cheng glanced at Bai Qu and said coldly:
"The card game deliberately forced us to feel more hungry than usual. There's no way Liu Ziyi could survive this."
"That's easy for you to say."
Wang Xiaolei was immediately furious after hearing this and said that he could not say that his boyfriend was not good enough:
"Is there something wrong with your brain? You can do this, but you can't do it. So, what should we do..."
Before he could finish his words, Qu Bai stopped him.
"In this poker room of luck and accidents, it's better to say less..."
Qu Bai smiled faintly: "It all depends on your ability."
The club card field is not difficult. It is not as dark and violent as the spades, but not as gentle as the hearts. However, it depends a lot on luck.
If you get a script that means you're doomed to die, except for the symbiosis between the resurrection card and your spouse, any props and skill cards will be pale and powerless in front of it.
But at the same time, no card game will directly kill you.
Pure slaughter is too simple and meaningless, and the same goes for the club card game.
Everything has a traceable path, and whether or not one can survive depends solely on the level of the players.
After Bai Qu and Wang Xiaolei left the cafeteria, Yi Tu was unfamiliar with the remaining players. He listened silently for a while and then left.
The man with the letter tattoo named Mu Cheng is an official member of a top 100 team and his level should be above level seven.
So it's natural that other players are more or less flattering and envious.
The only one who did not express his opinion was the usually calm monitor Ji Han, while the cold and arrogant girl Zheng Xiuxiu who was having dinner with her had a look of annoyance on her face.
She hates Xi Tao, the pretentious girl next to Mu Cheng.
Yitu didn't know that sometimes the hostility between girls was based on appearance.
Now he needs to go back to the classroom and take a good look at the warnings on the blackboard.
The black snow was still falling outside, and the fluttering flakes were particularly long.
When Yitu came out, he caught a glimpse of the tall figure in the black snow.
The man didn't hold an umbrella, but just stood quietly in the snow.
The snowflakes fell on his body and melted away without leaving any cracks.
Somehow, the man gave Yitu a dizzy illusion.
Jiang Hanyu standing there was like darkness itself, and the black and the black were devouring each other.
The result is obvious, the man wins.
This thought flashed through Yitu's mind for only a brief moment, but the man seemed to have noticed something and immediately turned his head.
And just as Jiang Hanyu turned around, a black feather fell from the sky, quickly fell into Xue's arms, and disappeared.
Yitu's pupils shrank slightly.
That night in the dark corridor, the man appeared with a pair of huge bloody black wings behind him, like a demon crawling out from hell.
Such big wings seem to be just right for covering the snow?
Yi Tu's thoughts wandered for a while, and when he came to his senses again, Jiang Hanyu was already standing in front of him.
"What are you standing there for? Come here."
Yitu finally reacted and followed the man.
The black snow floated in front of Yi Tu's eyes, but it couldn't touch his body at all.
Can there be temperature when this black snow falls in the middle of summer?
Yitu thought so and stretched out his hand.
"Don't touch it." Jiang Hanyu frowned.
Yitu quickly withdrew his hand, having only touched two or three points, but even these two or three points were enough to create a scar on his palm.
The black snow wasn't cold, and didn't even have a distinct feel.
Rather than saying it is snow, it is more like a carrier of some negative emotions.
The moment people come into contact with it, emotions such as despair, grief, jealousy, and greed instantly surge into their hearts.
Yi Tu stared at the crack and felt that it was not only his body but also his heart that was eroded by the black.
But this depressed mood is short-lived and will soon be wiped out by a firm will and will not pose a threat.
But if the player is exposed to this black snow for a long time, there is no telling what will happen.
"So cold." Yi Tu shuddered and turned to look at Jiang Hanyu:
"Is Kuroyuki's appearance related to the person who jumped from the building this morning?"
"Well, if you get too much snow, you'll end up killing yourself."
And Ye Li committed suicide.
The man had been standing in the snow for so long that the dark emotions must have already overwhelmed him like a tide.
But he didn't feel anything, as if nothing had happened.
Could it be that he was doing this on purpose? Was he deliberately absorbing the negativity in the room?
Yitu lowered his eyes secretly and made random guesses.
"Did you see it?"
Suddenly the man stopped and looked straight at him with a pair of black eyes.
Yitu stood there in a daze, the chill rising from the soles of his feet.
"What did you see?"
Jiang Hanyu gave an ambiguous smile, his eyes flashing with excitement:
"My feather..."
"My wings."
