Zhou Ming and Wu Hao, who were standing next to him, also looked grim.

They looked at the long, winding queue before them, at the pride and anticipation on the faces of the students from the Magic City Academy around them, and then thought about how their own school's cafeteria might be deserted and desolate at this moment...

That feeling was absolutely awful.

It's like having your own carefully nurtured and proud peony taken away, pot and all, and blooming even more brilliantly and dazzlingly in someone else's garden, attracting countless praises.

Just then, a commotion arose from the ranks ahead.

The heavy glass doors of the third canteen finally opened at this moment, and an indescribable and strange fragrance, as if breaking free from its restraints, suddenly rushed towards us!

The aroma is incredibly complex – first, the unique, mouthwatering sweet and fresh fragrance of top-quality seafood, followed by the rich medicinal aroma of more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs that have been carefully brewed.

The two do not conflict; on the contrary, they are wonderfully intertwined, forming a captivating and alluring complex atmosphere.

The aroma seemed to have a physical form, instantly captivating the sense of smell of everyone present, causing many people's stomachs to rumble involuntarily.

"It's started! They're releasing them!" Cheers rose and fell from the crowd, though they were trying to keep them down.

The long queue, like a giant python awakening from hibernation, finally began to slowly crawl forward.

Sun Yu clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white. Honestly, he felt incredibly frustrated and angry!

But then again... since they've already come all this way and lined up, they might as well go and experience it for themselves, so they can take some evidence back with them.

……

the other side.

"Little Fatty, you have the fastest teleportation speed, why don't you go check out the situation first?"

On the way to the cafeteria, Qin Ming, considering Xiao Pang's Void Escape skill, suggested that he go scout ahead first.

"Hmm, it's okay, the turtle wants to stay with everyone."

Little Fatty shook his head, a rare occurrence, refusing to act alone. He was usually lazy, but today he displayed an unusual sense of collective responsibility and alertness.

He didn't teleport directly, but he still rushed to the front, his round body displaying disproportionate agility, his short legs moving incredibly fast.

Qin Ming thought for a moment and realized that anyone who dared to cause trouble in the cafeteria of the Magic City Academy, especially in front of everyone, was either hopelessly stupid or had something to rely on and was quite powerful.

He was indeed a little worried about letting Little Fatty go alone.

Furthermore, Cangxuan is quite fast and can fly, so it won't take much longer for them to get there.

Qin Ming felt a warmth in his heart and stopped trying to persuade him.

When Qin Ming and his group rushed to the vicinity of the third canteen, the confrontation or chaos they had imagined did not occur.

Outside the cafeteria, there was still a long, orderly queue of people, and the air was filled with mouthwatering aromas and hushed whispers.

Those unfamiliar faces, previously labeled as "strange" by Little Fatty's henchmen, had now completely blended into the queue. Apart from the occasional provocative look in their eyes, they made no other outrageous moves.

"Hmm... this is a tough one." The chubby boy stopped and stared intently at the targets in the group, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

The cafeteria is not a place for fighting. Spirit beast skills are quite destructive. If a fight breaks out and damages the building or raises dust, the consequences will be far more serious than just school rules and punishments.

If the buying or eating experience is disrupted by this frenzied crowd, no one will be able to escape unscathed; a single spit from each person could drown the troublemaker.

Qin Ming quickly calmed down and observed the scene.

Indeed, the other party has now chosen the safest and most "shameless" method—queuing.

Within the college, especially in the cafeteria, as long as the other party does not provoke them or damage public property, they really have no reason to take action.

He patted the chubby boy's broad back armor, raised an eyebrow, and changed the subject, "Chubby boy, is this your new product launch? Judging by the momentum, it's going to be a huge hit!"

"Hmm~"

Sure enough, Little Fatty's attention was successfully diverted. He flicked his tail, thinking about the huge bonus he was about to receive, and looking at the seemingly endless line of devout "believers" in front of him, the gloom on his round face vanished.

With so many people, sales are sure to explode!

Wouldn't the dividends be so plentiful they'd be rolling in it?

Moreover, with so many loyal customers, the cafeteria's "defense" is probably higher than he expected. Didn't you see that they didn't dare to make any rash moves?

So it's unlikely that there will be any major problems.

Just as Qin Ming was about to call everyone back, Cang Xuan, who had been quietly squatting at his feet with his eyes slightly closed as if sensing something, suddenly looked up, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Aww~" he let out a low growl, gently touching Qin Ming's shoulder with the tip of his nose, while transmitting a clear voice: "Qin Ming, in the direction of the training ground next door, I sensed fluctuations that are very similar to the auras of those humans in the cafeteria, but more active and aggressive. The number... is more than three."

Good heavens! Qin Ming's eyes narrowed.

It turns out that quite a few people came, and they even split into several groups!

One group scouted around the cafeteria, while the other probably went straight to the training grounds, both to gather practical intelligence on the students from the Magic City Academy and to warm up, perhaps even to gauge the strength of the Magic City students.

The cafeteria isn't a place for fighting, but the training ground is a different story! It's a dedicated space for students to hone their skills and resolve disputes.

Qin Ming quickly glanced at the few guys in the group whose eyes seemed out of place, then looked in the direction of the training ground, a knowing smile curving his lips.

"How strong are you?" he asked Cang Xuan through the contract.

Cang Xuan tilted his head slightly, seemingly sensing the energy fluctuations again before replying, "The energy fluctuations are mostly in the mid-to-high range of the third tier. Two individuals posed a threat to me, their energy fluctuations likely reaching the fourth tier. One of them was particularly intense and fierce, probably the leader. Overall, their strength... is not weak."

Qin Ming nodded.

At this age and level, they would be considered elites in any academy, and their backgrounds are probably not simple.

However, such sneaky behavior is not exactly ethical.

Keda and Xiaopang, who had been feeling a bit down because they hadn't been able to "show their skills" in the cafeteria, suddenly brightened up when they heard about Cangxuan's discovery.

The war, which had just been extinguished, reignited instantly!

Qin Ming glanced at his spirit beast and understood. He concluded, "The cafeteria is fine for now, the cooks are safe, and the new products are selling like hotcakes."

He then turned his gaze toward the training ground, his tone carrying a hint of fighting spirit and amusement.

"As for those friends who are 'warming up' in the training ground... it's only polite to reciprocate. Since they want to think things through, let's have a 'friendly exchange'."

"Let's go, to the training ground!"

"Gah~ Ugh~ Aww~"
