Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Could such a good thing really exist in this world?

The moment they heard the word “free,” the Players’ eyes lit up instantly.

Free was great!

In an instant, the Players tossed their doubts to the back of their minds.

Surely, they had only suffered from diarrhea yesterday because they weren’t used to the local environment. They couldn’t possibly be that unlucky again today.

The Players exchanged glances and stepped across the threshold of Youyou’s Restaurant.

The smile on Yun Youyou’s face grew even more radiant, like peach blossoms in full bloom on a branch.

“Please, take a seat. Don’t be shy.”

The Rich guy sat down hesitantly.

Could this be a trap?

Though he had his doubts, he couldn’t figure out what the catch might be after thinking about it for a long while, so he simply pushed the thought aside.

“I’ll go bring out the dishes. Just wait a moment.”

The Rich guy suddenly thought back to those three plates of stir-fried eggs with tomatoes from yesterday. His brow furrowed, his face twisting in rejection.

“It’s not going to be stir-fried eggs with tomatoes again today, is it?”

Yun Youyou quickly replied, “Don’t worry, it’s definitely not stir-fried eggs with tomatoes today.”

Hearing that it wasn’t that dish, the Players silently breathed a sigh of relief. They didn’t want to eat stir-fried eggs with tomatoes ever again for the rest of their lives.

Yun Youyou went to the kitchen and brought out the dishes she had prepared in advance.

“This is cold-dressed tomatoes.”

“This is cold-dressed cucumbers.”

“And this is cold-dressed cilantro.”

At first, everyone’s expressions were relatively normal, but when they saw the large plate of cold-dressed cilantro, they finally lost it.

As soon as the Rich guy saw the cilantro, he pinched his nose and leaned back, his eyes filled with utter disgust.

“What on earth is this? What normal person eats cold-dressed cilantro? Cilantro is the most disgusting thing in the world.”

Yun Youyou flared up.

“You can say my cooking tastes bad, but you cannot say cilantro tastes bad! Cilantro is the most delicious thing in the world. To say cilantro isn’t tasty is to make an enemy of me, Yun Youyou!”

Yun Youyou glared at the Rich guy in a rage.

The Rich guy was startled by her outburst; his hand shook, nearly spilling the plate of cilantro onto the floor. He looked up and saw Yun Youyou standing there with her hands on her hips, glaring at him.

The Rich guy was fuming but didn’t dare speak out. He only muttered under his breath, “It’s just a plate of cilantro, is it really worth all this?”

Su Yurou hadn’t originally intended to eat. Spending the entire previous night with diarrhea had left her traumatized. However, today’s dishes seemed to be just washed and tossed with dressing; surely there wouldn’t be any issues?

Su Yurou was caught in a deep internal struggle. To eat, or not to eat?

The pungent aroma of garlic wafted directly into Su Yurou’s nose. She quietly took a sniff and finally couldn’t resist. She picked up her chopsticks and took a few bites.

Truth be told, these cold dishes actually tasted quite good today. Nevertheless, she didn’t dare eat too much, only sampling a few bites. She would let the others test for poison first.

Su Yurou reservedly set down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth.

The Rich guy was eating with gusto. He hadn’t even rejected those three plates of stir-fried eggs with tomatoes yesterday, so today’s cold dishes were right up his alley. Seeing Su Yurou put down her chopsticks after only a few bites, the Rich guy looked up from the plate.

“Why aren’t you eating anymore? Hurry up and eat! Or should I eat less?”

Su Yurou gave the Rich guy a rare smile.

“It’s fine. You eat; in fact, you should eat as much as possible.”

She even pushed the dishes in front of her toward the Rich guy’s hands. The Rich guy didn’t think much of it, simply feeling that Su Yurou was being very polite.

“Thanks, you’re a really good person.”

Su Yurou merely offered a faint smile in response.
She decided to let the Rich guy test the waters first. Once she saw he was fine after eating, she would start eating herself.

If the Rich guy knew he was just a poison-testing tool, he would probably shed tears of bitter regret.

He’d wake up in the middle of the night and slap himself, thinking, “I even said thank you to her. I’m such a huge idiot!”

Unfortunately, the Rich guy currently knew nothing.

He was still busy licking the plates.

Out of the three dishes, the Rich guy had personally claimed two of them.

The other Players watched him with resentment, while Su Yurou was the only one with a mysterious, inscrutable smile on her face.

Yun Youyou also wore a sweet smile, looking at the Players as they ate like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Eat more. Once they were full, they could be butchered.

The Rich guy ate the most, so his reaction came the fastest.

Just as he set down the plate he had licked clean, his stomach began to churn violently.

Something was wrong!

This feeling wasn’t right!

A sensation both strange and familiar hit him.

The Rich guy clenched his glutes and walked toward the toilet with a pigeon-toed, hurried gait.

Crap! He wasn’t going to be able to hold it!

Just as he was about to push open the bathroom door, Yun Youyou suddenly held it shut.

By now, the Rich guy was on the verge of transforming into a Spray Warrior.

He was sweating profusely from the effort of holding it back. Trembling, he managed to gasp out, “Let me in! Don’t stop me!”

Yun Youyou gave a treacherous smile and pointed to the Friendly Reminder posted on the bathroom wall.

The Rich guy’s mind was already hazy, but he looked up.

On a piece of pink paper, several large black characters were written: TO USE THE TOILET, PAY FIVE HUNDRED.

The Rich guy cursed the profiteer in his heart. This was the first time he had ever seen such a scummy ghost.

She was clearly the Dog King Among Ghosts.

Filled with grief and indignation, the Rich guy pulled out five hundred.

“Here!”

Yun Youyou took the money, pulled out a pack of tissues, and smiled slightly.

“Tissues are one hundred.”

Rich guy: !!!

Where the hell did this bandit come from?

He had already shelled out five hundred; he wasn’t going to quibble over another hundred.

The Rich guy felt like he was pulling out crap as he handed over the money.

Before entering the stall, he let out a long lament: “If the Emperor wants the official to shit, the official has no choice but to shit!!!”

With a loud bang, the toilet door slammed shut.

Then came a series of indescribable sounds.

Having made a quick six hundred, Yun Youyou looked at the remaining Players with a beaming smile.

Su Yurou had eaten the least, so she basically felt nothing.

The other Players had all eaten a bit more or less. Those who could hold it had already rushed outside.

Those who couldn’t were forced to stay put.

After all, if they moved even slightly, their backsides would turn into a “mighty river flowing east.”

But such an exorbitant toilet fee really wasn’t something an average person could afford.

Some Players even started considering just dropping their pants and going right there on the floor.

Unfortunately, before they could act, Yun Youyou brought over another Friendly Reminder from the side.

“ANYONE WHO DEFECATES ON THE SPOT WILL BE FINED 100,000 YUAN.”

With that single line of text, the Players completely abandoned their unspeakable plan.

They thought they had come here to survive, but it turned out the only thing needing to survive was their wallets.

At the thought that the Instance had only just begun, a wave of despair washed over everyone.

One Player looked up at the ceiling at a forty-five-degree angle in despair and said dejectedly, “Why don’t you just eat me instead?”

Yun Youyou curled her lip in disgust.

“I don’t want to eat a ‘bursting’ Player.”

At the thought of biting into someone and having things burst out, Yun Youyou shuddered all over.

Just thinking about it was revolting.
