Chapter 50 [Seeking support and collection]
Zhou Feng was not happy. The person was dead and he was still being talked about like this, but he felt there was nothing to refute, since what he said was the truth. It was just that they couldn't fight each other now.
"Alright, let's go back to the hotel and rest first. We can talk about the rest tomorrow. We can also go to town and inquire about the butcher."
"We didn't find out before, probably because we didn't trigger the plot."
Everyone agreed that it made sense, and there was nothing else to do but go back. Everyone was terrified, and several people's legs were still weak.
Back at the hotel, they didn't see the hotel owner either, so they quietly returned to their rooms.
Not long after, someone came to knock on the door.
Zhou Feng: "Who?"
"It's me." It was a familiar voice.
Zhou Feng went to open the door. "It's you. Come in."
The person who arrived was Xue Rui. "You're back? What happened..."
Zhou Feng briefly recounted what had just happened, "Sigh... We lost two teammates, but we couldn't even find what the item was. There were no clues at all. We should have searched the entire slaughterhouse, so why is this happening..."
Xue Rui pondered.
Zhou Feng: "By the way, weren't you the team that went to the cemetery? How's it going there?"
Xue Rui shook his head. "Actually, my team also lost one person, but we found what we needed to collect at the cemetery."
Zhou Feng's eyes lit up. "You got it?"
Xue Rui: "No, we found it, but it's still a long way off before we can get our hands on it."
Zhou Feng sighed, "Never mind, the slaughterhouse matter isn't over yet... By the way, are you the only ones back? What about the other teams?"
Xue Rui shook his head. "Some have returned, some haven't. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."
The night was quite long, but it was comfortable for Lin Leyou. He could sleep soundly even when he slept on the floor.
The first thing I do when I get up early is to get meat for the chef.
The chef said, "Oh dear, my business has been really good these past few days, which has also helped boost yours."
Lin Leyou kept a straight face and didn't say anything.
The chef didn't seem to care at all. "Hey, you have some fresh flavors here, could you... sell some to me?"
Lin Leyou glanced at him but didn't say anything. He simply took out the pork he needed and put it on the cart for him.
The chef persisted, "Well, it's no use keeping it here anyway. I can take it and make it into something delicious. I can bring you some later. You can trust my cooking skills, right?"
Lin Leyou still ignored him.
The chef held up one hand, "Fifty thousand each."
Lin Leyou: "Deal."
The player's corpse... is definitely useless to him, and it's just getting in the way if he leaves it there. Besides... players all have their own bodies in the real world.
Every time you enter the Endless World dungeon, your body will be newly generated. Although the corpses left there look terrifying, they are actually similar to the corpses that fall on the spot after you die in the game. They will all respawn after the dungeon ends.
It's a way of making use of waste; by selling it while it still exists, you can make some more money.
He cursed himself in his heart for being a greedy businessman.
However, they were quick; they went in and dragged out the two decapitated corpses, throwing the two heads into the chef's arms.
In the end, he happily accepted the 100,000 yuan, and the chef went home cheerfully.
Lin Leyou sat down comfortably and checked his panel. He already had over 300,000 in the money section. This money was really easy to earn.
However... money may be easy to earn, but there are still dangers.
Throughout the entire town of Qingshui, there are seven places where players need to explore and collect items, but only the chef dares to wander around outside. He has never even met the person in charge of the other places.
Even Jiang Xiali, who came with him, stayed in the hotel and dared not go out, or rather, he was forced to stay out due to the rules.
This shows that this chef is truly special.
Lin Leyou wanted to explore the town, but to be on the safe side, he decided to stay at the slaughterhouse until this job was finished.
Zhou Feng looked at the number of people in the surrounding queue with great shock.
There are still seven people in charge of the hotel, not a single one missing, but four people are suddenly gone from the restaurant! Now there are only three left.
"What exactly happened? Is the restaurant that scary?"
In such a dangerous place as the slaughterhouse, they only lost two players. The second one who died was killed because he panicked and acted stupidly.
The school and church teams each lost one player, while the grove team lost two.
The three remaining members of the team responsible for the restaurant were still huddled together, trembling, even after a whole night had passed.
"This is...this is terrifying..."
"That chef transforms at night; he can grab people and stuff them into his mouth to eat them!"
Everyone was shocked. "What? Eat him directly? Will he turn into a monster tonight?"
“His mouth can really open very wide, and his hands become very long, with his fingers turning into claws. He grabs people one by one and eats them in one bite. He’s very fast. The three of us were almost eaten by him.”
One of them swallowed hard. “And… I also discovered that his body undergoes more changes after he eats people. For example, when we first met him, he only had a big mouth, but after swallowing one person, his arms grew longer. After swallowing two, his hands turned into claws, his fingers became very long, and his nails became sharp and long, so he could grab a person with one swipe.”
Zhou Feng thought this chef was far more terrifying than the butcher!
The butcher at least chased after the killer with a sharp knife and didn't turn into a monster, but who would have thought that the restaurant's chef could turn into a monster!
"What should we do?"
"Isn't this too difficult? Is there really no way?"
"I'm a little hungry, so... is it still possible to go to a restaurant to eat?"
"Is it still possible? I'm a little scared. I hope I won't turn into a monster during the day?"
"Is that thing still edible?"
"I'm not going! I'm not going!"
"But where else in the whole town can we eat besides this restaurant? Are we just going to starve to death?"
Zhou Feng suggested, "How about this: the restaurant team disbands first, joins other teams, collects everything from other places, and then we'll take care of the restaurant together later, okay?"
The three who were left behind were fine; they didn't want to go back to the restaurant—it was really scary.
Finally, the three people drew lots to go to the slaughterhouse, school, and church lines respectively.
Someone asked in a low voice, "So... are we still going to eat now?"
Everyone remained silent.
Zhou Feng stood on the street looking into the restaurant. Two waiters stood inside with smiles that looked like masks, just like a couple of days ago.
