66: Chapter 31: Brainstorming_2 66: Chapter 31: Brainstorming_2 “Slurp slurp slurp…”

…

As Lin Yi scooped up his rice, he felt that Wei Liang had calmed down on the other side.

Then, the “slurp slurp” sounds began intermittently drifting over from there.

Just by listening, Lin Yi could imagine Wei Liang enjoying his meal, which set his mind at ease.

However, for some reason, as he listened to Wei Liang eating, a strange thought unavoidably sprang up in his mind:

“Liangzi is clearly focused on eating, so why does it give me such a sleazy feeling?

Weird, really weird…”

“Never mind Liangzi, no matter what, it’s good that he has started concentrating on his meal…”

Lin Yi controlled his breathing and slowly exhaled.

He actually hadn’t wanted to continue eating with Wei Liang.

Given the situation, leaving immediately was the proper course of action.

But when leaving the Cafeteria, there were rules to be aware of—

First, after finishing the meal, the tray had to be placed at the tray return station.

If they didn’t finish their food, they would have to dump it, and the Cafeteria’s rules stated, “Uneaten food should be directly dumped into the recycling bin, packing it up to take away is forbidden.

If staff ask if you need your food packed or berate you for wasting food, ignore them, remember, Cafeteria staff will not appear in the Student Cafeteria area.”

Therefore, to avoid the unnecessary trouble of staff asking about packing food, or scolding about wasted food, it was mandatory to clean out the tray.

Moreover, he had encountered the chef with the green apron, and Wei Liang had even stepped on the chef’s face, causing tomato sauce to stain his right shoe.

This meant that upon leaving, they could potentially trigger another rule: “When leaving, if you notice you are being watched by a green apron staff and they start moving towards you quickly, decide based on your position whether to head for the ‘Student Passage’ or the Convenience Store.

Do not stop moving or look back or respond to their calls until you have entered the ‘Student Passage’ or reached the Convenience Store, even if you feel they are about to catch up.”

After leaving the Cafeteria, remove your clothes immediately to check if there is any tomato sauce on them.

If so, throw the clothes in the nearest trash bin (note to place them in a trash bin, not merely discard them on the ground).”

This was a complete yet coherent rule.

At first, Lin Yi didn’t understand why one would get stains of tomato sauce while eating in the Cafeteria, but from Wei Liang’s experience, getting stained was often unintentional.

And once stained with tomato sauce, departure would mean being pursued by the chef in the green apron.

But as long as the condition of “leaving” wasn’t met, it was relatively safe.

Beyond that, Cafeteria rules stipulated not to communicate with any strangers, and if communication was necessary, to do it with acquaintances you were with, focusing on them.

However, at this critical moment, Wei Liang was already panicking and starting to imagine things.

Therefore, Lin Yi couldn’t be sure whether keeping Wei Liang tethered to him through encrypted communication was good or bad, so he just had to first divert his attention to eating.

Moreover, following the rules of the Cafeteria wasn’t difficult, and abiding by them posed no problem in having a meal.

Secondly, they had entered the campus area on a blue bus yesterday, and except for a bit to eat before departure, they hadn’t eaten anything until now.

Wei Liang had also, due to the experienced driver retaking an old route and the Cafeteria’s food, which he couldn’t forget, brought only a little food, which he consumed out of boredom on the bus…

If they didn’t finish this meal and encountered another unusual weather condition like yesterday during dinner, they would most likely have to wait until the next noon meal.

One meal every three days.

Isn’t it?

Isn’t it?

It’s the year 2023, could there still be times when they couldn’t get food?

That would be too cruel for Wei Liang, a return customer and experienced driver.

Besides, before the Cafeteria rules, another phrase was written:

“The correct actions in the Cafeteria should be: enter the Cafeteria from the ‘Student Passage’ to queue for your meal, and immediately return and leave the Cafeteria via the same ‘Student Passage’ after your meal.

As long as you adhere to this rule, it will safely solve the food issue during the experience period.”

Thus, Lin Yi used his own methods to bring Wei Liang back to this rule.

But this rule was too idealistic.

Lin Yi couldn’t be sure whether circling back to this rule had any effect after all their meandering.

Moreover, what he truly worried about was whether the group that had gathered would disperse after they finished eating and left the Cafeteria…

What if that group targeted them?!

The moment he thought about the threats from the chef in the green apron and the crowd, Lin Yi instantly felt a surge of crisis and was bewildered.

Why does it feel like just the act of having a meal is piling a heap of debuffs on them?

Thus, he still needed to think through one more step on this basis, aiming to eliminate unstable factors to enable him and Wei Liang to successfully escape the current situation.

He then took a deep breath, his gaze gradually firming up, as if he had made a certain decision:

“Previously, my thoughts veered off course, and Liangzi pulled me back several times.

This time, let me handle it…”

“Lin Yi oh Lin Yi…

you have pondered all the way here, and you have almost grasped the boundaries of this part of the rules.

Now it’s all up to you!”
