"Uh, a farm? That sounds like a storyline... but I didn't know there was such a storyline." The blonde, blue-eyed girl scratched her head as she looked at the notice.

"So this is also part of the game, right?" a student suddenly realized.

"Then we can only eat survival food. So this is compressed biscuits? Is it tasty?" A student picked up a bag, tore it open, took out a hard, small cube that looked like tofu, and hesitated. "Uh, why is it green? And it smells a bit strange."

At this moment, a serious voice rang out, "Since that's the case, then we can only eat it, right? I'll try it on behalf of everyone."

Cheng Fei walked forward with a smile, tore open a bag of survival food, took a bite under everyone's gaze, and then nodded with an appreciative expression, "Hmm, it's alright, quite delicious."

"I'll try it too!" One girl was inexplicably excited and quickly opened a bag, eagerly tasting it.

A second later, her expression changed, "Ugh..."

524. Cheng Fei took the lead in battle.

The teenagers collectively tried the so-called survival food, and everyone who took a bite immediately looked uncomfortable.

"It tastes awful? I'll try it too... Ugh... What is this?"

"Is chalk with salt really food?"

"Chalk shouldn't taste earthy, right? Is there something wrong with how you're eating it?"

"This line translates to 'ready to eat right out of the bag,' which is correct..."

Soon, the banquet hall was in a state of utter despair.

"Senior, is this really game content? It tastes awful. I've never eaten anything so bad in my life." A girl looked at Miriam with a look of despair.

"Uh, haha, this is indeed part of the game content. After all, survival food is meant to be a form of punishment. But don't worry, everyone, apart from the bad taste and texture, it's very nutritious. You can eat it for several days without any problem." Miriam scratched her head and laughed, then tore open a bag and took a bite herself. "To prove that I'm eating with everyone, ugh... it's really awful?!"

"This is too painful, can't I quit this game halfway through...?"

"Yes, I want to go to the city center to eat delicious food..."

"Let us go out and buy some food..."

As several boys took the lead in backing down, murmurs rose and fell.

At this moment, a serious voice rang out again, "Everyone, listen to me!"

Cheng Fei stood in the middle to attract everyone's attention, raised his arm and clenched his fist like an orator, and raised his voice, "Although the survival food is indeed not very tasty, I think it is also part of the game's test. A school trip is not a vacation. Think about the senior students who went to Antarctica in previous years. They must have encountered greater challenges. We are living in a comfortable castle and playing puzzle games. It's just that the food is a little hard to eat occasionally. The senior students also said that it is very nutritious. As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter. I think I will get used to it. Even if I have to eat it every day for the next few days, I am not afraid. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Anyway, I will eat first and then go to solve the puzzle."

After the boy finished speaking, he took a big bite, acting like a vanguard, while frowning and making constant mouth movements.

Many people watched the boy's actions and swallowed hard, as if they were looking at a warrior.

"Cheng Fei, eat slowly and have some water?" A girl handed him her bottled water.

"Thank you, but no need." The boy smiled and shook his head.

"I think Cheng Fei is right. It's just a little hard to eat. You'll get used to it. It's not like it's poisonous." A girl stared at the boy's face with starry eyes.

"Exactly, some boys are really useless, they should suffer more! Although this really tastes awful..." A girl agreed, took a bite, and swallowed it with a pained expression.

"Junior! I'll eat with you." Miriam's eyes were brimming with tears as she ate along with him.

"Cheng Fei deserves to die, but I have to admit he's reliable. Damn it! If he's not afraid, why should I be?" Chen Hao gritted his teeth and attacked the survival food in his hand with the feeling of facing a powerful enemy.

"After all, he grew up in an orphanage, working odd jobs everywhere to support himself. He's endured all kinds of hardships," Du Xinhua sighed, putting his hands behind his head.

"So you're not going to eat?" Chen Hao looked at him, puzzled.

"It's so bad, I'd rather go hungry and wait for dinner."

Zhou Han blinked her round eyes, reflecting the boy everyone looked up to, and couldn't help but smile, "Ruan Jingyi, since Cheng Fei has eaten, shall we eat too?"

"Mmm." The quiet girl nodded, bit off a corner of the hard little cube in her hand, and chewed it with a slight frown.

Nagasaki Asuna also took a bite, covered her mouth and swallowed, then tilted her head to look to the side, "Shen Xi, what are you thinking about?"

The aloof girl with long, dark hair gazed at the boy's profile, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, her small face filled with suspicion as she remained silent.

The boy's gaze met hers briefly before quickly looking away.

Ye Shuang silently took a bag of survival food, turned around and left the banquet hall, eating as she walked with a cold expression, her eyes scanning the surrounding eaves and rooftops.

Under Cheng Fei's leadership, the students eventually accepted the reality that they would have to survive on unpalatable food for the time being. Considering that moving around the castle would require a lot of physical strength, only a few chose to tough it out, while most of them obediently swallowed the hard-to-swallow food.

Cheng Fei put his arm around Lin Xuanqi and walked back. Once they were out of everyone's sight, he covered his mouth and his expression changed drastically. "Xuanqi, this is really awful!"

"Don't come any closer! I have no idea what you're up to. Do you really like showing off?" Lin Xuanqi covered her mouth with one hand and stopped the boy who was trying to get closer to her with the other, her disgust written all over her face.

"Someone has to take the lead in eating, right?" the boy sighed. "Xuanqi, do you love me or not? If you love me, kiss me right now."

"If you don't like it, get out! Go back and rinse your mouth. That stuff smells weird, only you could eat it." The girl glared at him without hesitation.

“Xuanqi, you won’t even share the joys and sorrows with me. I’m very disappointed in you.” The boy shook his head as he looked at her.

"Disappointed my foot! You dare to be disappointed in me?" The girl pinched his waist.

"Oops... I was wrong, never mind."

Cheng Fei first took Lin Xuanqi back to her room, then went out and waited in the corridor for a few minutes. He saw Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna walking towards him.

The aloof girl approached the boy, looked around to make sure no one was watching, then lightly kicked him with her spotless black uniform shoes. She stretched out her hand, staring at him with a blank expression on her delicate face, and remained silent.

"Teacher Shen, what does this mean?" the boy asked, feigning confusion.

"Food." Shen Xi squinted her eyes.

"Huh?" Nagasaki Asuna stood with her legs together and her hands behind her back, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two.

Cheng Fei and Shen Xi looked at each other, and the air in the corridor fell silent for a second.

"As expected of my little darling." The boy smiled, took a paper bag out of his backpack and handed it to the girl, "Here you go."

"As expected, at least you still have a shred of conscience left." Shen Xi took the things, lowered her eyes, and said, "You vixen, let's go."

“Okay~” Nagasaki Asuna responded like a follower, tilting her head and winking at the boy with a sweet smile as she passed by.

After finishing this task, Cheng Fei returned to his room and, under Lin Xuanqi's surprised gaze, took out the same paper bag from his backpack and opened it.

The aroma of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats released during high-temperature cooking is incredibly tempting.

Lin Xuanqi watched in surprise as the boy pulled out fried chicken, a hamburger, and a can of cola from a paper bag. "Cheng Fei, where did you get these?"

"I had the kitchen make it," the boy said casually.

Lin Xuanqi froze for a second, then came to her senses, shifted into a more comfortable sitting position, and reached for her hamburger. A smug smile crept onto her lips. "So it was all your doing, huh? Aren't you afraid they'll find out and kill you?"

The boy, as if protecting his food, blocked her small hand, picked up the fragrant beef burger, took a big bite, then slurped up a crispy chicken wing, and sighed comfortably, "Xuanqi, it's because you wouldn't share the joys and sorrows with me, now you can just watch me eat."

525. Everyone has their own things to do.

"Cheng Fei, you're not going to give me any, are you? Say it again if you dare." Lin Xuanqi was stunned for a moment, then her smile turned dangerous.

"Why are you being so fierce? If you want to eat, just apologize and beg me. Let's go on a shopping spree." The boy pulled her into his arms without any hesitation.

"Pah! Cheng Fei, stop nagging me all the time..." The girl's stern words, spoken with a furrowed brow, abruptly stopped. Her slender legs, encased in black pantyhose, snapped together, her expression momentarily flustered, her eyes flickering. Then, a knowing smile curved her lips, her tense body softened, and her voice became alluring, "Honey~ I was wrong, okay? Please give me something to eat, otherwise I'll starve to death, and you won't be able to go on any shopping sprees."

"Xuanqi, you're such a pervert!" The boy looked at her in surprise.

The girl's expression changed, she gritted her teeth, and pinched his waist, "Cheng Fei, if you're going to play, then play properly. Are you going to call me a pervert again? Then get out of here and let me go!"

"Xuanqi, I was just kidding." The boy didn't let go at all, lowering his head to get closer to that naturally beautiful little face, while moving her position.

Lin Xuanqi stared wide-eyed at the boy's face so close to hers, feeling as if she had been struck by a heavy blow, unable to even utter a sound.

"Cheng Fei...I want to eat!" the girl said, struggling.

"Then you can eat it," the boy said casually.

"How am I supposed to eat like this?!" The girl was exasperated and frustrated.

"Eat however you want. This isn't the first time you've eaten like this. It's just to give you more nutrition."

"Nutrition my foot! I'm going to collapse from exhaustion if this keeps up."

"It's okay, I slept well because I was exhausted."

"Fragrance my foot! I had nightmares about you last night."

"You actually thought it was a nightmare? Xuanqi, you're quite cute."

"I'm cute, my foot!"

After lunch, feeling full and refreshed, Lin Xuanqi drank two glasses of warm water, then clutched her inexplicably uncomfortable throat and went to take a nap.

……

Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna filled their stomachs in the room with hamburgers and fried chicken that someone had given them.

"Let's go, let's continue to the laundry room." The aloof girl stood up expressionlessly.

"Shen Xi, don't rush." ​​Nagasaki Asuna grabbed a tissue and suddenly wiped her mouth with it, tilting her head and smiling. "It's okay, I didn't wipe it clean just now."

Because the other party moved so quickly, Shen Xi was stunned for a second before realizing what was happening. She narrowed her eyes, covered her mouth, and said with obvious disgust, "You vixen, please don't do this kind of thing."

She walked quickly outside, as if she wanted to get rid of Nagasaki Asuna.

"What does it matter?" the latter followed casually.

"It's so disgusting it's indescribable."

You'll get used to it.

"You vixen, be normal for once."

"Yeah~ By the way, don't you feel a little sleepy? Why don't we take a nap first?"

"Go back to sleep if you want, it'll be nice for me to have some peace and quiet."

"Hey~ Shen Xi is really into games. Does she really want a day's use?" Nagasaki Asuna smiled, not without a hint of teasing.

"Stop spreading rumors, you vixen. I've already explained the reasons. Besides, it's necessary to prevent other girls from winning," Shen Xi said coldly.

"Oh, so they're on high alert?"

"If you utter another word of nonsense, disappear from my sight." Shen Xi said coldly.

Nagasaki Asuna zipped up her mouth.

The two arrived near the laundry room. Shen Xi looked around and investigated, while Nagasaki Asuna followed behind, doing nothing.

Shen Xi glanced back at her and sighed with pity for her misfortune, "You vixen, you're useless here, so I'll give you another task."

"Huh? What?" Nagasaki Asuna blinked.

"Go find Ye Shuang." Shen Xi raised her chin.

Asuna Nagasaki's eyes darted around. "You noticed something was off about her too?"

“She’s distracted whenever that Lin guy isn’t around. I suspect that scoundrel has some dirty secrets he hasn’t revealed. Go and use your ability to read people to find out.” Shen Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Nagasaki Asuna gave a crooked bow.

So Shen Xi wandered around the laundry room by herself.

After some time, two figures arrived hand in hand.

“Ruan Jingyi, it’s Shen Xi.” Zhou Han’s round eyes reflected the aloof girl standing at the door of the laundry room in the distance, frowning in thought.

"Mmm." Her quiet best friend nodded gently.

Zhou Han pinched her chin and pondered for a moment, then suddenly punched her palm with her fist, "This is a good opportunity!"

"Hmm?" Ruan Jingyi tilted her head.

"Do you remember that rose garden from earlier? There's a couples' quest inside. Let's lure her and Cheng Fei in together."

"What if Lin Xuanqi is here too?"

"Oh well, there's always a way. We have to break Cheng Fei and Lin Xuanqi up. We have to let her know that we're not easy to bully!" The petite girl's eyes burned with the flames of revenge.

“Okay.” Ruan Jingyi nodded.
