Chapter 117 Dormitory
Seeing me pick up the spoon, the red-haired man snapped his fingers, and screen-like things appeared around him, probably showing scenes from other rooms.
"Good evening, everyone. I'm your employer, the owner of this farm. You can call me Boss Rajes. Was dinner enjoyable?"
Rajesh took the meat from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, splashing juice everywhere, rudely and without any care.
"This is cooked with the freshest jujube juice."
"Looks like everyone made it through the first day. Congratulations! You've already received your salary for today. You only worked half a day because of the orientation, but getting a full day's pay is awesome, isn't it?"
He spat out the bone scraps from his mouth, then picked up the meat on the plate again. "But starting tomorrow, there will be no free dinner."
He glanced around and moved his greasy fingers slightly.
"You decide the next rules."
He pointed his finger at the furry rabbit head, and then the screen in front of him instantly appeared around the rabbit head. The rabbit head put down the raw carrot in its hand in fear.
"My pleasure, Boss..."
Then he said, "Human—your daily wage is the price of ten Bite-Bite Fruits. Fifteen days is one hundred and fifty Bite-Bite Fruits. During this time, you can choose to sell your Bite-Bite Fruits to the farm."
"The price of the yak yak fruit varies from day to day, but if you leave it until the end you may not get a high price - so your salary is entirely up to you."
"You can only get your daily wages if you can complete today's work. If you don't, your instructor has the right to deduct your wages."
Rabbit's voice was not as respectful as it was to Rajesh before, but instead contained a condescending and mocking tone.
It seems that monsters hate humans.
...But where does the hostility towards me come from?
"If you fail to complete your work for three consecutive days, you will be fired. Of course, being fired on a farm means becoming fertilizer for the fruit. But we don't mind if you find someone else to help you complete the work."
"You are not allowed to go out of the dormitory at night. If you are caught, your wages for that day will be deducted. Be good, humans."
…
The rabbit was still chattering, his tone was totally different from his furry head. It was quite appetizing. I emptied another plate, and another meal appeared in front of me in an instant. I continued to eat one bite after another with the spoon. The good thing about this restaurant is that there is no limit on the amount of food. I felt like I hadn't eaten for hundreds of years.
[You haven't eaten in hundreds of years.]
...No, I just described it like this!!!
In short, I don’t have a normal appetite now.
I looked at Rajesh who was sitting in the middle. There were five empty plates next to him. I still didn't understand this guy's background, but I roughly understood the rules of this farm.
Pure cattle and horse factory.
It's either work or die, but with that amount of work, can ordinary humans really survive here?
I thought of the children and elderly people I saw when I just came in, and then thought about the intensity of my work today. Maybe I considered this issue?
After all, our room is full of young and middle-aged people, and they probably know that the harvesting work is not something that the elderly and children can do.
——So what is this world like?
I see three doting perverts circling around me now.
The rabbit head was still saying something when a plate hit his face and broke into pieces.
"Okay, shut up." Rajesh wiped his mouth with his hand, paused, looked at me, and picked up the tablecloth to wipe it in an attempt to cover up his mistake.
I:……
No, buddy.
I felt Rose-head next to me sneer slightly.
The rabbit head over there didn't care at all that he was hit by the plate, but happily shut his mouth. The screens around him also disappeared, and the whole room became quiet for a moment.
"Are you full?"
Rajesh asked me and everyone's eyes turned to me again.
I:……
I've been through a lot, so I calmly put down the spoon and nodded.
He frowned and asked, "Why did you eat so little? Are you feeling unwell?"
I looked at the five dinner plates I had set aside.
No matter how you look at it, this isn't the right amount to eat.
Neither Shi Qing nor Meiguitou eat as much as I do!
Rajesh stood up, and I realized that he was at least two and a half meters tall, or even three meters tall.
He walked towards me. Shi Qing looked at him with some vigilance, and Rose Head stood behind me.
He walked towards me like a mountain, and I could almost hear the people around him swallowing their saliva.
The four golden eyes looked at me, and I realized that they seemed very similar to my eyes.
Great, we found some common ground.
His hand was almost bigger than my head. He stretched out towards me, but before it touched my face, it was blocked by two dinner knives - one from Shi Qing and one from Rosehead.
Him: "Huh? Are you two trying to piss me off?"
"Boss—if you remember, you didn't wash your hands after dinner," Rose-head's elegant voice rang out, "Are you going to rub all this oil on Sangsang's face?"
Although "you" was used, it was obvious that there was a sense of impatience.
"He just showered and washed his hair this morning, and did some skin care and hair care. Sangsang's hair and skin are both difficult to take care of." Shi Qing's tone was also not very good, but this content...
How did I not know that I just woke up today and did this?!
Who made this for me???
【woooooo——————】
Rajesh made a "tsk" sound, but he did withdraw his hand. After looking around, he picked up the instructor at the table next to him. It was a lotus head. Then I watched Rajesh break the head of the lotus head off completely, and what came out was not blood, but more like water...
There was a commotion throughout the restaurant, and there seemed to be sobbing sounds.
Then I watched him start to wash his hands with the transparent liquid that was flowing out, and his lotus head stood upright like a diligent faucet - it's too difficult to evaluate this scene. How should I put it, it's indeed quite a horror movie. If I were someone else, I would be scared to death.
It really is straight inside and out, without any branches or vines, like a human-shaped, self-running water pipe, right?
But for some reason, I never seemed to have much fear, and it became even weaker after I came into this world.
It's so inhuman!
He quickly washed his hands and wiped them on the furry head of the rabbit head next to him, while the lotus head squatted on the ground and groped for his own head, then connected it to his own head.
"Is this okay?"
He stretched out his hand to show Rosehead and Shi Qing, and the two of them were actually checking it carefully.
Then after getting a nod of approval from Rose Head, he placed his hands on my face and rubbed it.
The hands were very warm, but after going through all the processes just now, my heart didn't feel any emotion.
"Well, it's really healthy..." he said to himself, then held my armpits and lifted me up.
“?!”
The sudden leap into the air caught me off guard and I subconsciously wanted to resist, but then he put me on his right shoulder.
Well, how is it not a Korean double-door miner's shoulder day trip experience.
"Okay, dinner is over, take them to the dormitory." His eyes swept over all the instructors.
The monsters nodded slightly, and the humans also stood up tactfully. This time, only one door appeared behind the dining table, and that door was pitch black. Starting from the first table, the instructors led their respective humans in. Shi Qing and Rose Head did not move. The other monsters said nothing, and the humans... were all smart people, and said nothing except curious looks.
Then there were only four of us left in the room.
"Why don't you two leave?"
Rajesh asked with an unhappy look on his face.
Shi Qing looked at me and asked, "Isn't it time to return Sangsang to me?"
Rajes: "You're going to let our cherished brother live in that pigsty?!"
There was disbelief in his tone.
I:……
Ah, now it comes out, it turns out the boss knew about the accommodation conditions at the cattle and horse factory.
Rose Head: "But now Sangsang is a contestant. You are well aware of the consequences if contestants don't follow the rules, right?"
Rose-headed brother is still rational.
"So I can be his bed. Even in the pigpen, my vines and petals can weave a very comfortable bed for him."
I take back my previous statement.
"Ha, you wish." Rajesh directly retorted, "I am the owner of this farm, I am the rule."
Shi Qing: "What if you don't do it right? Do you want to kill Sangsang? He is a human now, and humans must stand on the side of humans!"
It has to be a human brother...
"Can you two guarantee that he gets first place this season?"
"I can, so listen to me."
I understand. This dormitory must be taken back. Rajesh might have a way, but the other two don't trust him.
There is no trust between brothers, only suspicion.
I patted Rajesh's shoulder and motioned him to put me down.
I feel like I can't get any special treatment anymore. For now, I have to get some information from certain people. I can also ask these guys directly, but I always have a feeling...what they say is not very reliable.
For example, why I must get first place this season.
[Ding Di Di - Stage 2: First Day's Harvest (Completed)]
Mission Reward: Flower Nutrient Solution]
Will this mission even allow me to read the air?! I'm still brainstorming conspiracy theories!
【Hey, there's a little delay.】
So, Tong, what are they doing as Riddler?
[I don't know either, host. This world's consciousness isn't connected to me, but to our boss, so I have very little information...]
"So, Sangsang, are you really going to live in that pigsty?" Rajes looked at me sadly.
Not to mention how terrifying the four tearful eyes are, just the fact that a strong man who is nearly three meters tall is posing like this is already incongruous enough.
I nodded firmly.
Shi Qing and Rosehead had already taken my hands on each side very easily.
"Okay... I'll call someone to upgrade the pigpen... dormitory tomorrow. You can sleep on the bed Rosehead made for you tonight. Don't get yourself into trouble." He sniffed. "Good night. See you tomorrow."
I mouthed goodnight.
It's too exaggerated, this kind of emotion has no real feeling.
…
After the three of us walked into the dormitory, I finally understood why Rajesh and Rosehead both called this place a "pigsty."
Because this is just an empty factory with a few haystacks piled up.
There were various unknown stains and traces of reptiles on the ground.
Ugh—it’s really a terrible environment.
Those haystacks have basically been occupied by people, and many people are sitting or lying on the ground. There are indeed more people than in the restaurant, including the people we saw at the beginning.
When they saw the three of us appear, many people became alert, mainly those who saw Rose Head and me.
——We are the only two people here who don’t look like human beings.
The rose-head put his hand on his petals, as if he was really going to use his petals as a bed for me. I urgently held down his hand - no, we can't pull it out forcefully, right?
Don't be so harsh on yourself!
[No need, brother.]
I wrote this on his hand.
I don't want to sleep tonight.
This is true.
I'm not sleepy at all.
Rose-head stared at me for a while, then stopped. He seemed to understand what I meant.
——I want information from these people's mouths.
"...Rest well, humans. If you don't finish your work tomorrow, you'll be used as fertilizer."
Cold-blooded and ruthless.
Draw a line with us.
Then he walked back into the dark door and it closed.
For a moment the entire factory was quiet.
Shi Qing and I stared at everyone.
"You are Captain Shi... Captain Shi, right?"
Suddenly a voice came from the crowd and I looked over.
He was a middle-aged man in camouflage uniform.
Does he know Shi Qing?
"I am."
Shi Qing admitted it. As if to prove something, he pulled out the dagger from my waist, twisted it in his hand, and then inserted the dagger back into my body.
"It really is Captain Shi... That's great," the middle-aged man visibly relaxed. "This is Shi Qing, the captain of last season's championship team."
"Really?"
"That Shi Qing??"
…
Suddenly the whole factory was filled with noise. Those who knew Shi Qing were ecstatic, while the newcomers who were participating for the first time were confused.
They ran up and surrounded Shi Qing and me.
Shi Qing protected me slightly, and then they looked at me warily.
"Captain Shi...who is this?"
"This is my biological brother," Shi Qing said slowly, "He was cursed, so I entered the competition again and brought him along."
Okay, okay, this curse directly explains my inhumanity. It turns out that humans are still more reliable.
[Ding Di Di - Stage 3: Acceptance

I looked at the people around me who were surprised and suspicious of me, and hid behind Shi Qing in silence.
Acting pitiful and weak always works, right?
Humans...are the kind of beings that let down their guard against the weak.
"I'm sorry, he can't speak because of the curse, and he's become like this. He's a little timid. We won't get in your way."
Shi Qing’s words made them start to scrutinize me.
Their doubts were slowly fading.
A girl about fifteen years old stood up and extended her hand to me. "You are so beautiful. My name is Jia Jia. Can I meet you?"
"Jia Jia!"
The middle-aged man who stood up first shouted loudly.
Jia Jia retracted her hand.
My hand has already grabbed it.
[Ding Di Di - Stage 3: Acceptance (Completed)
Mission Reward: Special Effect Eye Drops]
[My name is Shi-sang, hello.]
I smiled at her.
Shi Qing tightened his hand on my back.
—Wait a minute, you guys can’t even let me smile at others???
What kind of twisted love is this!?
