Chapter 43 Closed Food Chain
"Didn't I just say that? Those who lose will become part of the game." Zhen Jinli reiterated.
"So, I estimate that the players who lost on the seventh floor, that is, those who were killed by fellow players, should be recycled by the NPCs and become food provided to other players on the third floor."
Hearing this, Si Yao's face became even uglier.
Could it be that the entire Goton Tower is a self-sufficient, completely closed-loop ecological food chain?
"But, isn't the meat provided on the third floor turkey, steak, and the like?" Si Yao questioned.
Zhen Jinli nodded and said, "That's right. Whether it's the appearance or the taste, they all taste like food that humans like."
She turned her head slightly to look at Si Yao with a cold smile.
"Look, canned cat food comes in all sorts of flavors, doesn't it? Aren't they essentially the same thing?"
"It's just that the vendors add flavoring to make the canned cat food taste like beef or chicken."
Even if Si Yao had never eaten the meat on the third floor, he would have vomited at this moment after hearing what Zhen Jinli said.
"Ugh, stop talking, Sister Li."
Seeing that Si Yao looked unhappy, Zhen Jinli stopped teasing him and started talking about business.
"If my reasoning is correct, I would like to verify one more thing."
Zhen Jinli checked the time on his phone, then stood up and left the racetrack.
"It's just too late now. Let's verify it tomorrow. We still have time."
Si Yao was annoyed by Zhen Jinli's frequent suspense, but he could do nothing about it.
"Good sister, just tell me first, what do you want to verify tomorrow?" Si Yao asked Zhen Jinli as he chased her.
"I have to conduct an on-site investigation to know whether my guess is correct." Zhen Jinli yawned.
"Before the inspection, I don't want to say anything I'm not sure about."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the guest room area of Gordon Tower.
Seeing that Zhen Jinli didn't want to say anything, Si Yao didn't ask any more questions.
Well~ Anyway, he would know what she was going to do tomorrow, so there was no need to rush.
There are two Gordon Towers, one of which is provided for players to play survival games.
The other tower is a guest room area for players to wash and rest, and the charge for one night ranges from 10 to 20 gold coins.
Of course, you can also pay with points.
The two towers are connected into a whole by two aerial corridors, which looks very majestic.
The corridors are located on the third and sixth floors, and there are benches for rest. Many players are reluctant to spend money in the guest room area, so they have to spend the night on the benches.
The goat waiter who received Zhen Jinli and Si Yao asked with a smile.
"Excuse me, would you like one room or two?"
"Two rooms." Zhen Jinli said without thinking.
Si Yao asked instead, "Does one room mean a double room?"
"Yes," the goat waiter replied, "Two standard single rooms are 20 gold coins, and one standard double room is 15 gold coins."
"If you need to upgrade to a deluxe suite, you will need to add 5 gold coins."
Zhen Jinli asked, "What's the difference between a deluxe suite and a standard room?"
The goat waiter replied, "The deluxe suites have wake-up calls and breakfast service, while the standard rooms only have beds and disposable toiletries."
Oh, it seems there is no need to upgrade this level.
The goat waiter seemed to see Zhen Jinli's worry and explained.
“The breakfast in the room is fresh hot milk and whole wheat bread, as well as mashed potatoes and carrot cakes. It is nutritious and rich.”
Zhen Jinli understood what it meant. It meant that there was nothing that humans shouldn't eat. It was a normal breakfast.
It's easy to imagine that the city of Gordon is ruled by animal NPCs, and it's impossible for them to provide real meat to humans. The only meat available is meat made by players who lost the game.
"Then give me two standard single rooms, thank you."
She brought some food with her and could just share it with Si Yao when the time came.
Si Yao nervously grasped Zhen Jinli's wrist and said, "Sister Li, I don't want to live apart from you."
Zhen Jinli ignored Si Yao and looked at the goat waiter and asked, "Is it safe to stay in your guest room?"
The goat waiter politely explained, "Of course, we have bodyguards patrolling 24 hours a day to absolutely guarantee the safety of our guests."
Zhen Jinli nodded and said, "Okay, is it okay to earn points?"
"sure."
The goat waiter appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually screaming wildly inside.
Ahhh, I didn't expect that she works in the Gordon Tower and has the opportunity to see Lady Naxue incognito.
The goat waiter was very excited at this moment.
However, there were other people accompanying Lady Naxue, so she couldn't address them rashly, so as not to expose Lady Naxue's identity.
The goat waiter had already imagined a grand scene of Naxue's incognito tour in his mind. He calmly and respectfully handed the two room cards with room numbers printed on them to Zhen Jinli.
"Here is your room card, please keep it."
Hehe, Lady Naxue must be praising my acting skills in her heart at this moment, hahahaha.
Zhen Jinli was naturally completely unaware of the goat waiter's inner thoughts.
After she took the room card, she handed one of the room cards to Si Yao and said, "Here."
The two went back to their rooms to rest. After Zhen Jinli finished washing up, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Sister Xiaoli, are you asleep?"
Zhen Jinli opened the door and asked, "What's the matter?"
Si Yao was standing outside in his pajamas, looking like a pitiful little puppy.
"Sister Xiaoli, I'm a little scared to sleep alone."
"Can I come over and squeeze in with you?"
"Don't worry, I will never do anything to you."
Zhen Jinli absolutely believed what Si Yao said.
She was his only support in the survival game, and he wouldn't dare do anything to her even if he had a hundred guts.
But she still felt uncomfortable psychologically staying in the same room with a man she had just met for one day.
Suddenly, Zhen Jinli seemed to have thought of something and temporarily changed his mind.
"It's impossible for you to sleep on a bed. You can only sleep on the floor."
"If you can accept it, you can come in."
Si Yao's eyes lit up, as if he had received a huge surprise, and his smile was as bright as the sunlight.
"Okay, I'll sleep on the floor. Thank you, Sister Xiaoli!"
Si Yaole ran back to his room happily, then came over with bedding and pillows.
After he made the bed on the floor, he quickly lay down, covered himself with the quilt, and said to Zhen Jinli obediently.
"Good night, Sister Xiaoli."
After Zhen Jinli lay down, she slept with her back to Si Yao, and soon her breathing became steady.
The cold moonlight shone on the window. Si Yao opened his eyes, stood up and looked in the direction of Zhen Jinli, just able to see a section of a slender white neck exposed outside the quilt.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to quietly crawl out of the bed and move closer to Zhen Jinli.
Hey, guess what the male protagonist wants to do?
See you tonight at 11pm~
