Chapter 47 Cafeteria Rules
Soon, Park Bu-sung, carrying a rag and a bucket, swaggered to the windowsill next to the female teacher and began his "performance".
He was shirtless, deliberately tensing the muscles in his arms and chest, vigorously wiping the window while winking at the female teacher and swaying his hips.
Disturbed by the noise of wiping the window, the female teacher looked up and saw a shirtless boy making all sorts of strange gestures in front of her, occasionally throwing her flirtatious glances.
Her brows furrowed more and more, her eyes quickly shifting from confusion to disgust, and finally settling into a frosty expression.
"Shameless!"
She gave a sharp rebuke, slammed her hand on the table, and her figure blurred—
In an instant, he moved to the window and stood solemnly in front of Park Bu-sung.
Park Bu-sung was taken aback, but a secret joy immediately welled up in his heart:
Could it be... that I, like Lin Feng, have successfully raised my favorability rating?
Before he could finish his thought, the female teacher had already raised her arm—
"Snapped!"
A loud, crisp slap landed heavily on his face!
"This slap will teach you what self-respect is!"
Park Bu-sung's vision went black, his ears rang, and he spun around halfway like a spinning top before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
The bucket was also overturned, splashing dirty water all over him, making him look extremely disheveled.
"Hahaha hiccup—"
The live stream was instantly flooded with a barrage of "hahaha" comments:
"Ouch, I can't take it anymore! My stomach hurts from laughing!"
"Imitating others blindly! This is a perfect example!"
Park Bu-sung: Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
"The same move works differently on different NPCs, bro!"
"That slap sounded painful, but why do I just want to laugh?"
"Lin Feng is charming, but this is harassment!"
Lin Feng looked at the sudden scene before him, then at Su Wan, whose expression had returned to normal behind her workstation. He shook his head helplessly, silently opened the bottle of water Su Wan had given him, and took a sip.
........................
After the cleaning was finished, the sixteen people regrouped outside Su Wan's office.
Su Wan stood at the doorway, her gaze sweeping over the slightly tired faces of the sixteen people, and gently clapped her hands:
"Students, you've worked hard and cleaned very well. As a reward, and also a necessary item, here are your meal cards."
She held a thin stack of cards in her hand and distributed them to everyone in turn.
The card has a cold, metallic feel, with only a simple student ID number and a black magnetic strip on it.
"Remember, before entering the cafeteria, make sure you read the rules posted at the entrance carefully. Don't miss a single one, understand?"
Everyone nodded and carefully put their meal cards away.
As Lin Feng took the meal card, he looked up at Su Wan and asked the question that had been lingering in his mind:
"Professor Su, is there an orange cat in our School of Social Sciences?"
Su Wan didn't seem surprised by the question and nodded affirmatively:
"There is indeed one. The little guy is called 'Yuanbao'. He is very clever and also very proud. He is usually elusive and you have to be lucky to meet him."
She paused, a half-smile playing on her lips. "However, it loves dried fish the most. Carrying some of these might increase its chances of 'favoring' you."
Lin Feng felt relieved and glad he had asked that extra question.
Rule 7 of the Academy states that orange cats are key to maintaining a stable condition, and knowing their preferences in advance undoubtedly increases the chances of survival.
"Thank you, counselor."
He thanked her sincerely, then his gaze fell on Su Wan's chestnut-brown curly hair cascading over her shoulders, and he added:
"Advisor, your hair is beautiful, the curls are just right, and it suits your temperament perfectly!"
Su Wan was visibly taken aback for a moment, then a genuine smile spread across her eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she subconsciously twirled the end of her hair with her fingers:
"Really? Thank you for the compliment, Lin."
[Ding! Su Wan's favorability +5]
Current favorability rating: 25/100
Seeing the system notification, Lin Feng felt even more confident.
Even the most bizarre creatures in ghost stories are no different from humans in their hearts.
Since she dressed up so carefully, what she longed for was nothing more than this recognition and praise.
The other chosen ones around them, witnessing the natural interaction between Lin Feng and Su Wan, couldn't help but exchange glances, their eyes revealing undisguised envy.
Everyone knows what gaining favor with the counselor means for clearing the game later.
Park Bu-sung touched his still slightly swollen cheeks, his eyes filled with complex emotions—envy mixed with a reluctance to easily imitate him.
"Alright, go eat now," Su Wan said as a final reminder before turning and returning to her office.
The sixteen people followed the instructions and walked together. Following the signs, they soon arrived at a detached two-story building.
The building's style is somewhat old, and a sign hangs above the door that reads "First Canteen".
The bright light at the entrance made a white sign with black lettering, "Cafe Behavior Rules," posted on the glass door, stand out clearly.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they instinctively gathered around, holding their breath as they read word by word.
[Cafeteria Behavior Rules]
【Rule 1:】
Students must ensure that they eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner on time every day in the cafeteria.
Anyone who misses any meal will be considered to have "abandoned their studies" and will be expelled.
【Rule 2:】
Please try to choose a window seat when dining.
If you find that there is "no campus view" outside the window after you sit down, please get up and change seats immediately. Do not look back out the window.
【Rule 3:】
The cafeteria staff work hard, so please respect them and don't go against their wishes, especially Chef Zhang, who is in charge of serving meals.
【Rule 4:】
Mr. Zhang has a noticeable old scar on his left cheek.
If you see "Master Zhang without scars" handing you food, or hear him say to you "this is an extra meal for 'good students'", do not accept the food. Pretend you didn't hear it and quickly leave the current window.
【Rule 5:】
The cafeteria cleaning staff only clean between 13:30 PM and 14:00 PM, and they always wear blue uniforms.
If you see a cleaning lady at other times, or if she is wearing a red uniform and invites you to "help clean the kitchen," please firmly refuse and leave immediately without lingering.
【Rule 6:】
Please keep your head down while eating and do not look up or look around.
If you accidentally see a "human-shaped object hanging from the ceiling," immediately look down, pretend you didn't see anything, and don't mention it to anyone.
【Rule 7:】
During lunch and dinner, the cafeteria plays light music to help soothe the mind.
Please note that you should not try to discern the content of the music. If you accidentally hear "human voices" mixed in with the music, please immediately try to lose consciousness.
Each rule is more bizarre and more dangerous than the last.
Dismissal, strange phenomena outside the window, the real and fake Mr. Zhang, red and blue cleaning services, the "hanging ornaments" on the ceiling, and the music that requires one to lose consciousness to resist...
An invisible pressure instantly gripped everyone's heart...
