"To all students, faculty, staff, and prospective students of Tianlian College:

The barren hills behind the third teaching building are officially off-limits. Anyone who trespasses will be registered and have their wristband points deducted.

Please do not experiment with spells and awakening effects in the deserted mountains anymore.

In addition, after the new semester begins, the academy will officially open the [Test Field] for everyone to test the effects of spells, so stay tuned. "

During dinner, Ren Suo and the others all received this message on their phones. Dong Chengling took a look and smiled: "Are so many people going to the back mountain to test magic?"

"Probably." Gu Yueyan held the tip of the chopsticks in his mouth and watched Ren Suo out of the corner of his eye.

Then she found Ren Suo looking at his phone with a sad face.

Three days ago, Gu Yueyan suddenly received a call from Lin Xianyu and learned that she had returned. Moreover, Lin Xianyu also talked mysteriously about Ren Suo and her training, so Gu Yueyan immediately asked her how she knew.

"Brother Ren told me..."

"Why is he talking about this?"

"Because I went to the back mountain for training and got injured..."

"Are you hurt?"

Gu Yueyan immediately rushed to the dormitory to check on Lin Xianyu, and found that she was fine. Instead, she pulled him into the dormitory for a secret talk.

It turned out that Ren Suo saw that Lin Xianyu was injured from practicing alone, so he invited her to train together. Gu Yueyan thought it was a good idea, but Ren Suo invited her privately. Although he asked Lin Xianyu to discuss it with her, Gu Yueyan was still a little unhappy.

Why not? I don't know.

Therefore, Gu Yueyan didn't say a word to Ren Suo in the past few days, and Ren Suo never talked about midnight snacks again after that night.

Just when Gu Yueyan was beginning to doubt whether he had dreamed that night, Ren Suo, who had just read the message, suddenly said, "By the way, are you guys free tonight in the early hours of the morning?"

"Does sleeping count as not having time?" Dong Chengling said, putting down the bowl.

"What are you doing?" Gu Yueyan bit his chopsticks and said, "Are you going to have a midnight snack?"

"That's right!"

Ren Suo looked at them and said, "I received inside information from the Countermeasures Bureau that a big shot from the Immortal Palace might show up in a park in the early hours of the morning. If we run into him, we will most likely gain a lot of benefits. How about we try our luck?"

After Ren Suo treated Gu Yueyan to a midnight snack, he came to his senses the next day: it would be fine if he invited her once or twice, but if he invited her too many times, she would definitely not agree - maybe she would agree, but Ren Suo knew that in a few days he would have a more legitimate excuse to invite them to develop the habit of having midnight snacks temporarily.

Search of the Countermeasures Bureau!

Because on the fifth day in the game, in Shenhai City, the female God of Cookery met Dai Yuxing, a member of the Shenhai Countermeasures team.

According to Dai Yuxing, the countermeasures system will issue an order across the country in those two days, publicly announcing the whereabouts of the Fairy Palace Food God and letting the Countermeasures Bureau send personnel to search parks and other places.

And Ren Suo was so familiar with Li Dan, the current leader of Lianjiang—Yu Kuangtu had gone into seclusion to pick up girls—that he was almost the first to learn of the news. After all, he could be considered half a member of the countermeasures team.

With this excuse, it was much easier for Ren Suo to invite them: "Most people in the Immortal Palace are kind and lawful. If you can get close to them, you may be able to gain immortal fate. If you don't believe it, you can go ask Qiao Muyi."

The two girls naturally believed Ren Suo's words, but Dong Chengling was a little surprised: "Ren Suo, are you so eager to see the Immortal Palace?"

"Yes." Gu Yueyan was also surprised: "You don't look like the kind of person who craves adventure."

Ren Suo's expression froze. Indeed, this yearning for adventure did not quite fit his character as a lazy person, so he could only think of excuses: "This... is because I think I should work hard, after all, you see... you see, Cheng Ling has achieved the third transformation, the Immortal Palace has surfaced again, and a new storm has appeared. How can I stand still?"

Dong Chengling nodded slightly: "I see... But in cultivation, mentality is very important, you must not put too much pressure on yourself."

"Xiaoyan, you too." Dong Chengling turned his head and looked at Gu Yueyan: "You are still a student, but you are already very good. With time, you will surpass me sooner or later."

Ren Suo blinked: "Then... do you want to try your luck with me?"

If they didn't want to, then Ren Suo had no choice but to let it go. After all, he had tried his best. Besides, the delicious meal of the Fairy Palace God of Food was just the icing on the cake, and they wouldn't lose much if they missed it.

Maybe Ren Suo will be able to summon a female food god who can cook seasonings in the future?

"I can go with you." Dong Chengling said seriously, "But there must be a limit to gambling on chance and luck. You can't put your chips on unstable factors in life. Give me a deadline, and I can go with you during these days, but if there is no gain within the deadline, you have to change this unhealthy lifestyle and return to a normal routine, okay?"

In fact, Ren Suo was almost tired of eating the takeout bought by his clone these days, so he nodded quickly: "Okay, ten days, accompany me to look for ten days, after ten days, I will never go out at night again!"

"I'll go too." Gu Yueyan said immediately.

Dong Chengling looked at Gu Yueyan, thought for a moment and nodded, "Indeed, it's not good to leave you alone at home, so let's go together. Who knows, maybe we can really meet him?"

Ren Suo thought that there was no chance of that happening, he would definitely run into the Immortal Palace.

At this time, Ren Suo thought of Lin Xianyu and her desires. That day, Ren Suo left in a hurry without answering Lin Xianyu's question, because he had no idea how to assist.

Moreover, he always felt that it was weird for him to assist.

However, Ren Suo did not want to let go of this strong bond. And this night tour of Lianjiang Park, letting Lin Xianyu participate was also creating an opportunity for her. As for whether she could deepen her relationship with Gu Yueyan, that had nothing to do with Ren Suo.

So Ren Suo said, "Why don't we ask Xiaoyu if she can come? That way, classmate Gu will have a companion."

"Can students enter and leave the dormitory at night?" Dong Chengling asked.

"Yes, students also use wristbands to enter and exit the dormitory, but the time of entry and exit will be recorded. If you go out at night during the school day, it will be recorded." Gu Yueyan explained, looking at Ren Suo suspiciously.

Ren Suo did it as soon as he thought of it. He called Lin Xianyu immediately and explained the situation. Lin Xianyu said to him, "You went there with the squad leader, and you invited me to go?"

“No, besides me and classmate Gu, there is also teacher Dong Chenglingdong.”

“…”

"Would you like to treat me to a midnight snack?"

"please!"

"Okay, I'll come too! I've been counting on you for midnight snacks for the past ten days!"

Ren Suo looked at them and shrugged, "We have one more companion who is looking for luck!"

"By the way." Dong Chengling asked, "You looked so bad after receiving the news from school just now. What happened?"

Gu Yueyan's heart tightened, and Ren Suo also sighed:

"Because the school is going to open [a testing site] and it has something to do with me."

Gu Yueyan looked at Ren Suo with eyes wide open, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and Ren Suo continued:

"It seems that the [experimental venue] is open once a week, and then takes a week to recover. But during the opening period, the venue needs to have a complete first aid team on standby. If the academy has healing monks, they must also be on hand."

Ren Suo spread his hands: "I guess I can't avoid this job, which means my working hours will have to increase by 32 hours every month."

Gu Yueyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great, you will have 32 more very meaningful hours every month from now on."

After Ren Suo finished his meal and washed the dishes and went home, Dong Chengling stayed in the living room while Gu Yueyan went back to the bedroom.

Then they both took out their cell phones at the same time.

——————

"Zhao Huo, are you really not coming?"

"No, guna! I have to catch the new anime release with other people tonight, so I don't want to try my luck with you. I might as well play an Abyss dungeon instead of having a cheap midnight snack in the early morning!"

Ren Suo shrugged. He had even brought up the idea of ​​inside information, but Zhao Huo was still not interested. There was nothing he could do.

Ren Suo, who was waiting downstairs in the dormitory, noticed that Hei Lingling had just come back from outside. Ren Suo went over to it and ignored its resistance, picked it up and stroked it twice, then said, "Still out so late?"

"Meow!~"

“Okay, okay, I don’t care.” Ren Suo put down the black bell and said, “Go home quickly.”

Hei Lingdang didn't even turn his head, just left him with a butt.

Ten minutes later, first Lin Xianyu came jumping over from the student dormitory, and then Dong Chengling and Gu Yueyan came down from the dormitory building.

"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Lin Xianyu licked his lips.

"Let's go for a walk around Yuexiu Park tonight. If we don't see them, we can go eat nearby. I know a stall that serves delicious porridge." Ren Suo said.

Of course, they could only go to the Cultural Park of the Female Goddess of Food on the tenth day. In the days before that, Ren Suo would just take them around for a walk.

Naturally, the others had no objection, and when they walked to the school gate, they saw a car - what kind of car it was, Ren Suo couldn't tell, he didn't even have a driver's license - parked at the school gate, and the car window was rolled down as they arrived.

"Get in the car."

Ren Suo leaned over and saw Qiao Muyi sitting in the driver's seat wearing a black vest. He was shocked and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I heard that you guys were going to help us search with the Countermeasures Bureau, so I naturally came here to be your driver." Qiao Muyi tilted his head: "Didn't Li Dan tell you that my Seventh Team was transferred to be responsible for night patrols?"

"Come on in the car, you're not planning on walking over there, are you?"

"yes……"

"You are such a big-headed ghost." Qiao Muyi held his forehead and said, "Our Countermeasures Bureau didn't really care much about the information about the Fairy Palace this time. After all, the probability was too low. But you were the only one who took this information so seriously. You took action as soon as you heard about it from Li Dan..."

Ren Suo's heart trembled - had he been seen through?

"...Do you have other intentions?" Qiao Muyi looked at Dong Chengling, Lin Xianyu and Gu Yueyan behind him.

"No." Ren Suo answered honestly. He really went there for the Fairy Palace God of Food.

"I'll sit in the passenger seat!" Lin Xianyu suddenly squeezed over, sat in the passenger seat and smiled at Qiao Muyi. Ren Suo and the other two had to sit in the back.

Qiao Muyi didn't comment, turned on the navigation and hit the road, just secretly glanced at Lin Xianyu who seemed to be grinning beside her.

If it wasn't for her, Qiao Muyi hadn't planned to come, regardless of whether they walked or crawled over. But Lin Xianyu was Gu Yueyan's close friend, and Qiao Muyi felt that Dong Chengling couldn't do it alone!

Since she had nothing to do during the night patrol, she came over to see what was going on.

If Dong Chengling and Gu Yueyan took action themselves, Qiao Muyi would definitely not move. But if Lin Xianyu wanted to increase the leverage of one party...

Balance exists among all things!

Of course, the night was really boring, and there was no one to chat with, so Qiao Muyi's awakening spell was useless. Following them, Qiao Muyi felt that he might be able to make some extra money.

At this time, Ren Suo, who was sitting on the left side of the back row—Dong Chengling and Gu Yueyan were naturally sitting together—was watching the scenery passing by quickly outside while thinking:

"This car is quite big, can my sister sit here?"
