Cheng Shuang's heart pounded wildly, her slender fingers instinctively reaching for her red hair tie. She was certain that these line figures were more powerful than ???
Given the various limitations of the maintainer's skills, brute force is suicidal; only by activating the skills at crucial moments can one turn the tide and save their life.
Unlike the boisterous Line People who had returned to their usual lively state, the newlyweds were filled with anxiety. Some kind-hearted people shook awake those who had fainted at their tables, urging them to finish their meals, as the consequences of wasting food were chilling.
Almost everyone was vomiting while forcing food into their mouths.
The newlyweds who followed the "elders" and ate only vegetables were certainly grateful, while the few who were served plates full of meat and fish had no choice but to bite down on them.
At this moment, no one cares about how unseemly they are eating, because most people are in tears, their faces filled with fear, their heads bowed and not daring to look up. The few elderly people with lowered eyelids seem to be used to these sudden events.
"She's dead." Kuroko shrugged, casually predicting the fate of the person being dragged away by the 'medical staff'.
The little girl instantly recalled the words the bearded uncle had said when he opened the door on the seventh floor. It seemed that the medical staff at the Gate of Reincarnation were treating not diseases, but lives.
Lie Fu stared intently at the girl opposite him. Seeing that apart from her pale complexion, she showed no signs of losing control, he breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't worried about her; he was afraid of being implicated. He made up his mind that if the girl became emotionally vulnerable, he would pull Hei Zishan to sit at another table to avoid trouble.
Fortunately, he is a strong child, stronger than many of the adults in the room.
In other words, those maintainers who manage to pass the 'ticket screening' stage should not be judged from a normal perspective.
At that moment, the sign at the restaurant entrance that read "Welcome" was turned over by the waiter, and the group turned to look at it.
The restaurant's rules and regulations are listed above:
Please refrain from loud noises and avoid disturbing other guests' dining experience.
Please do not waste food; leave as much as you have left.
The words left behind are thickly drawn in red ink, the ink stains dripping and unclean, like blood and tears, faintly revealing a sense of unease.
Like the little boy's head and the plate of leftover food on the ground, their sizes and quantities seem to be quite similar...
There is clearly a time limit for protecting new users!
The little girl turned pale and desperately tried to recall what was wrong.
It's a warning!
They did not correct their behavior after being warned by the waiter.
So the protection period for new employees is no longer valid? Or, in other words, the waiter's warning instead of physically assaulting them gave them a chance to live?
The little girl speculated, and her face immediately turned even paler.
Without a protector to ensure the protection period lasts, mistakes cannot be made.
She murmured softly, but all three of her classmates heard her, and their expressions became even more tense.
Moreover, the rules were laid out in front of them, but the line-wearing staff, whether intentionally or unintentionally, obscured them, clearly to rip them off.
Although these two rules are the dining rules of most normal restaurants, they are easy to overlook if you are not careful.
Especially for newcomers, their emotions are already unstable...
As the woman disappeared, the blood on the floor gradually seeped into the carpet, leaving no trace of blood.
Cheng Shuang also took some vegetables. She didn't even have an appetite for braised tofu. The bright green bok choy and white rice looked reassuring.
Du Jun fried three eggs and gave one to the little girl. "Eat well so you'll have energy." He paused, then lowered his voice, "Try not to touch the food in the space compartment."
The little girl obediently nodded, whispered her thanks, and finished the food on her plate without tasting it. After thinking for a moment, she poured herself a glass of fresh milk, took a banana, and returned to her seat to eat it in small bites.
The three boys chose juice, since they wouldn't touch alcohol anyway, and other drinks took up space and didn't quench their thirst.
Almost no one lingered in the restaurant. The newlyweds ate quickly and left just as fast, and soon the round table was completely empty.
This is probably the cleanest tabletop ever; if it weren't for a few empty plates on it, you wouldn't be able to tell that someone had eaten there.
The maintainers also left in small groups after finishing their meal. Compared to the panicked newcomers, they were calm and indifferent, especially the white-haired youth. Before leaving, he took an apple, and under the watchful eyes of the waiter at the door, he happily ate it in a few bites and threw it into the trash can behind the waiter.
Then, he put his arms around his head, whistling as he walked out.
“He’s very strong.” Cheng Shuang finished the last sip of milk, wiped the milk stains from her mouth with a tissue, and explained, “I ran into him when I went out, and he used one hand, just like this…” The little girl gestured with her short arms, “to lift me up.”
Upon hearing this, Kuroko immediately asked, "How much do you weigh?"
“Less than 30 kilograms.” Before Cheng Shuang could speak, Lie Fu estimated, “She is much thinner than my ten-year-old brother, but about the same height. My brother weighs 33 kilograms. I have a hard time even carrying him with one hand, and with my current physical condition, I can’t lift him with one hand.”
"She lifted it up without any effort," the little girl added.
“If it’s not a skill related to strength, then he must have gone through many cycles of reincarnation to have the opportunity to improve his physical fitness to a certain level.” Cheng Shuang and Du Jun exchanged a glance but remained silent.
It turns out that entering the Gate of Reincarnation can improve one's physical condition, but the prerequisite is that they must first survive safely.
"Be careful!" Hei Zishan rubbed his face, his mood heavy. "There are many people, and some senior members with unclear attitudes. This will be a tough hurdle to overcome."
Lie Fu patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go! Let's go to the duty-free shop, we have a tough battle to fight tonight."
The duty-free shop was unusually cheap. Cheng Shuang picked out some discounted items: a lace dress for 49 yuan and shorts for 19 yuan. She also bought a set of sports underwear for Liu Juan, spending a total of over 90 yuan.
