A flash of white light appeared, and Lin Sui'an stood inside the "monitoring room," while Jiang Lai and her group stood outside.

"Sister Jiang Lai!"

Lin Sui'an smiled so hard her eyes crinkled, and she stretched her arms forward a bit.

"Come help me hold the cat! My arm is going to break!"

Jiang Lai reached out and took a silver shaded cat. The cat's body was limp, its four legs dangling, and its breathing was steady.

"Alive?"

"Alive, alive, asleep."

Jiang Lai cradled the silver shaded cat in her arms and used her other hand to flip the cat's eyelids. The pupils reacted to light, and the cat's vital signs were normal.

Jiang Zhi quickly stepped forward from behind, took an orange cat out of Lin Sui'an's bag, and held it in her arms, weighing it in her hands.

"It's really heavy."

"The orange tabby is the most important." Lin Sui'an took the other cats out of the bag and handed them to the person next to him.

Jiang Zhi looked down at the orange cat in her arms and stroked its head. The orange cat didn't react at all, its chubby face pressed against her forearm, with a trace of drool at the corner of its mouth.

"They actually managed to bring it out."

Jiang Zhi's voice softened slightly.

"I wonder if any of these cats contain the souls of players from our Dragon Kingdom."

There was a moment of silence in the monitoring room.

The ten cats were each given to a staff member to hold; all of them had their eyes closed and were breathing evenly.

Lin Sui'an breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's ask them when they wake up."

"Ask?" Jiang Zhi looked at her.

"When I turn into a cat, I can understand cat language." Lin Sui'an reached out and poked the orange cat's paw. "When they wake up, I'll try to see if I can transform in the real world. If I can, I'll talk to them, ask their names, which country they're from, what their lives were like, and how much they know about the game."

Jiang Lai handed the silver gradient to the person next to her and turned to look at the staff member next to her.

"Prepare ten isolation observation rooms, cat-specific sizes, with temperature and humidity adjusted to live animal standards, and staffed with dedicated personnel on duty 24 hours a day, recording vital signs every two hours."

"Yes."

"etc."

Jiang Lai looked at Lin Sui'an.

"Don't put them separately yet."

Lin Sui'an glanced at the ten cats on the table: "If any of them wakes up first and has no companions around, they might go berserk in an unfamiliar environment, and your people won't be able to stop them."

Jiang Lai tapped her fingers on the edge of the table.

"Put it in the room opposite mine," Lin Sui'an said. "If we change the room, I can go there immediately when the cat wakes up."

Jiang Lai thought for two seconds.

"Okay, the one across from you. I'll have someone go and change it now."

She turned her head and nodded to the staff member.

"Soft mats, litter boxes, and water dispensers were all provided for ten cats, and the monitoring system was connected to the screen in Lin Sui-an's room."

The staff member accepted the order and turned to leave.

Lin Sui'an stroked the heads of all ten cats one by one; they all felt nice to the touch.

"Let's go," Jiang Lai patted her shoulder. "Let's eat first."

Lin Sui'an's attention instantly shifted from the cat.

"Have a meal!"

She followed Jiang Lai to the cafeteria entrance, and the moment the door opened, Lin Sui'an stopped in her tracks.

Wow, this is such a feast!

The same table was still in the canteen, but it was now filled with all kinds of food—a true Manchu Han Imperial Feast!

"This is something you copied from a game."

Jiang Lai walked over to her, speaking at a slower pace than usual.

"Rice, vegetables, meat, oil, seasonings—you've stuffed so much stuff into the containers, and we're receiving thousands upon thousands of times that amount in reality."

Lin Sui'an stared at the food, his throat bobbing.

"The food shortage has been largely filled."

Jiang Lai led Lin Sui'an to sit down at the table: "An'an, you said you would make sure everyone has food to eat."

Lin Sui'an looked at Jiang Lai, whose eyes were serious: "You did it."

Lin Sui'an's lips twitched. She tried to press them down, but the corners of her mouth still curled up.

She turned her face away, picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of braised pork, and stuffed it into her mouth: "I'm not saying anything more, let's eat!"

The moment the gravy spread in her mouth, her shoulders relaxed.

Jiang Lai sat opposite her, not touching her chopsticks, her elbows propped on the table, watching Lin Sui'an eat happily.

"The total amount of this batch of grain is being tallied; the logistics department is working on it overnight."

Lin Sui'an, with her mouth full of food, mumbled, "Mmm."

"Once the statistics are complete, the first batch will be dispatched to various districts tomorrow."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Sui'an picked up another piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks, pressed it onto the rice, and stuffed it into his mouth along with the rice grains.

"And once this batch is finished, the timing will be just right."

Lin Sui'an looked up at her, her lips pursed.

Jiang Lai tapped the table with her finger: "It's just in time to connect with the first crop of the staple food area."

Lin Sui'an swallowed the food in his mouth: "Perfect transition?"

"Perfectly connected."

Just as they discovered the method to increase the three fire values, An'an delivered the raw materials. Thinking of this, Jiang Lai looked at Lin Sui'an solemnly.

"An'an, you have revitalized the entire food supply chain of the Dragon Kingdom."

Lin Sui'an was still chewing when he waved his hand vaguely.

"On behalf of the country and the people..."

"No, no, no!"

Lin Sui'an almost dropped her chopsticks; she quickly swallowed what was in her mouth.

"Sister Jiang Lai, don't do this, it's a bit cheesy!"

Jiang Lai couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly: "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, you eat first."

Lin Sui'an lowered his head and ate his rice. After a couple of bites, he looked up again.

"Sister Jiang Lai."

"Um?"

"Will the little fish come here too?"

Jiang Lai nodded: "Chen Zheng has already gone to pick them up, but Li Yu's family lives far away."

Jiang Lai glanced at the clock on the wall: "It won't be until midnight at the earliest."

Lin Sui'an said "oh," then lowered her head and ate a couple more mouthfuls of rice, before suddenly stopping.

"Sister Jiang Lai, could you save some for Xiao Yu? She'll definitely be hungry when she gets here."

"Everything is ready. When they arrive, they will be able to have a hot meal."

Lin Sui'an nodded, relieved, and continued eating.

Jiang Lai watched her eat without urging her to finish, and only spoke after she put down her chopsticks: "Are you full?"

Lin Sui'an patted her stomach and leaned back in her chair: "I'm full. It feels so good to be full."

"Then go back and rest. The cat's room is being renovated, and it should be almost finished by the time you arrive."

Lin Sui'an stood up: "Sister Jiang Lai."

"Um?"

"Spirit Sealing Playing Cards, fifty-four cards, can seal fifty-four souls."

"I brought out ten cats, and each cat has a soul inside it."

Lin Sui'an's voice wasn't loud, but his speaking speed increased.

"If I can seal their souls into the cards using the Soul-Sealing Poker, it's like preserving ten dead players in another form."

Jiang Lai didn't interrupt.

"Moreover, Zhuangzi's dream of a butterfly is useful to them. Creating a dream can awaken their consciousness. The game is so scared that it directly flips the table and stops the dungeon."

Lin Sui'an looked at Jiang Lai with a smile: "Sister Jiang Lai, what is a game afraid of? That's its weakness."

Jiang Lai stared into her eyes for three seconds.

"you mean......"

"In the next round, I'll bring out the Weird again."

Lin Sui'an's lips curled up slightly: "Fifty-four cards, and you only used ten. What a huge loss."
