Wei Liang suddenly flushed with anger, and pulled at the plastic strip curtain with even more force, muttering curses under his breath:

"Damn, why does this curtain feel so heavy? Could it be broken?"

He violently tugged at the plastic strip curtain, accidentally entangling it around the head of the green-aproned chef, and then yanked the chef down from his upside-down position...

"This thing is such low quality!" Wei Liang's anger erupted, and he kicked the plastic strip curtain, hitting the green-aproned chef who had just fallen down, and by a stroke of bad luck, kicked him right in the face.

With a 'thud,' the green-aproned chef slid across the floor, tomato he hadn't finished chewing spraying everywhere.

"Tch, seems like it really is broken!" Wei Liang bent over and rubbed his ankle, grimacing and hissing in pain, "Tingling and numb, it's like I kicked a steel plate..."

Lin Yi: "..."

Lin Yi quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead, his gaze filled with a mix of strong strangeness slowly shifting away from the unrecognizable green-aproned chef in a spider-like form, thinking to himself:

'Please... the one who kicked the steel plate doesn't seem to be you...'

"What are you spacing out for, not going to eat?" Wei Liang elbowed Lin Yi speechlessly, shook his head, and gestured towards the Cafeteria.

Li Huiyuan was also shocked by Wei Liang's unexpected and crafty maneuver, pulling herself out of the mire of stunned disbelief, and was extremely impressed, acknowledging Wei Liang as a top-class big shot...

Then she turned to Lin Yi: "Classmate Lin, I'm all right now."

"As long as you're okay, let's go." Lin Yi said no more, taking Li Huiyuan with him into the Student Cafeteria.

The moment they entered, he glanced at the clock on the wall.

16:13.

He checked the time on his watch, which also read 16:13.

The green-aproned chef, thwarted in his efforts, slowly crawled back into the shadows, leaving behind only a mess of Tomato sauce, attracting some non-human classmates to lick it up...

Li Huiyuan withdrew her gaze and followed closely behind Lin Yi.

According to the original plan, Lin Yi was supposed to go to window number 3 to get food, then walk around the Student Cafeteria with his tray, looking for the location of the Convenience Store.

But now, having learned more detailed information, the plan naturally needed some adjustments.

However, there was a problem: the Student Cafeteria was on the ground floor of the Cafeteria, but not all of the ground floor was part of the Student Cafeteria.

And the Student Handbook as well as the blue-aproned chefs had both said [The Convenience Store is on the ground floor of the Cafeteria], not "The Convenience Store is on the ground floor of the Student Cafeteria."

Lin Yi had no choice but to work within the rules allowed, standing within the "yellow line" and then trying to find the location of the Convenience Store.

The Cafeteria guidelines mentioned that you could leave the Student Cafeteria through the Convenience Store, so setting aside the issue of layers, it wasn't impossible that the Convenience Store was directly connected to the Student Cafeteria.

Of course, the first choice was to rule out areas in the Student Cafeteria that had no lights on but were covered by sunlight.

Of course, the Cafeteria guidelines clearly state: [Stay away from the dark corners of the Cafeteria], but "no overhead lighting" doesn't mean "dark corners", as there's still sunlight, so there's no conflict here.

One could say, the way it's phrased is incredibly subtle.

And the sun... was about to set.

Lin Yi didn't know why the sun was setting earlier today than yesterday, as if it was purposely targeting Li Huiyuan, but he was no Superman and couldn't fly up to the sun and relieve himself on it over this problem.

Lin Yi, with Wei Liang and Li Huiyuan in tow, made their way to window number 1 to order food.

The Cafeteria faced north with the sun to the south, with order windows number 1 to 5 arranged from left to right, so the area beside window number 1 was the only part of the Student Cafeteria that could be illuminated by sunlight at this time.

So Lin Yi pretended to queue, while actually blending in with the crowd to observe the surroundings, looking for an area without lighting.

But he was disappointed, all the areas visible in the Student Cafeteria were covered by lights, and there wasn't a single area without them.

Lin Yi's expression turned serious all of a sudden.

'If all the lights are always on, then it's impossible for there to be any areas without lights!'

"Damn, how do we break through this situation?" Lin Yi couldn't help but massage his temples, feeling the pressure mounting.

"It's okay if we can't find it." Li Huiyuan's voice came from behind him, sounding very calm as if reconciled to fate.

But Lin Yi could feel the weight in Li Huiyuan's hands.

She was actually very nervous; she just didn't want to say it out loud.

Because she had resigned herself to being cannon fodder.

"Don't rush." Lin Yi patted her hand, comforting her, "That blue cap might not be right, we can still take a walk around the Student Cafeteria according to the original plan."

"Okay..." Li Huiyuan nodded.

"You guys... are looking for the... Convenience Store, huh..." A rigid, dry voice echoed from above them.

The grotesque green-aproned chef in a spider-like form was crawling on the Cafeteria's ceiling, emitting a sinister laugh.

Li Huiyuan was instantly drawn to that voice, wanting to look up at it, but Lin Yi, quick as a flash, let go of her hand and pressed his hands against her cheeks, stopping her from looking up, and said seriously, "Trust me, we will find the Convenience Store!"
