Chapter 691

As long as it was an ingredient inside the sack, no matter what state it had become, they had to acknowledge it.

The bag and the ingredients were taken away.

Before long, food and water were delivered to the three of them.

Clean purified water and a salad with salad dressing and shrimp; the volume was large, and it didn't look too bad in terms of taste.

Lin Ye also took the first step to feed Leng Shuang and Nakiri Erina, and only after the two women had recovered enough to handle it themselves did he start eating his own portion.

Up to now, he had only felt a tiny bit of hunger, also because he had eaten too much in the first event, 'The Glutton'. Otherwise, his state would likely be no better than Leng Shuang and Nakiri Erina's.

"I've recovered."

Nakiri Erina felt her strength gradually returning once again, and her whole body felt much more comfortable.

It really was too difficult.

As a chef, she had experienced hunger before, but now she had experienced it, and not just once, but hunger to an extreme state.

"Hunger really is the best seasoning."

Every bite made her feel satisfied.

Her God Tongue expressed extreme satisfaction with this ordinary food, and she wanted to eat more after eating.

Even Nakiri Erina couldn't help but sigh that her God Tongue was a bit cheap; once hungry enough, she could taste deliciousness even in ordinary food.

Nakiri Erina sighed.

'Gulp, gulp...'

She drank another mouthful, and her body felt even more comfortable.

Leng Shuang felt her body recovering and got up to stretch. She walked a circle and came to Lin Ye, who was sitting on a chair with his back against it, looking exhausted.

Her eyes moved, and she placed her right hand on Lin Ye's shoulder. "Do you need me to help you relax?"

Lin Ye looked up at the girl behind him. "Is this relaxation of yours decent?"

This made Leng Shuang pause.

Lin Ye was joking with her?

She was surprised by this point.

With her long black hair, she raised a smile. "Do you want it decent, or indecent?"

The question was thrown back to Lin Ye.

"I'm fine with either."

Lin Ye once again returned the question to Leng Shuang.

The two went back and forth, pulling at each other frantically.

Nakiri Erina watched with constant surprise in her heart.

Not to mention Lin Ye, the impression Leng Shuang gave her shouldn't be that of such a girl; she should be that kind of cold, icy beauty who had no interest in men.

Both her image and her name fit this point, but now, Nakiri Erina found that her impression of Leng Shuang was a little bit off.

An ice beauty is an ice beauty, but when facing Lin Ye, she would reveal another side; this side was probably the truth that only a very few people could see.

Nakiri Erina also thought of something.

In Leng Shuang's eyes, Ling should not just be a companion in the Eerie Game; there must be affection, and feelings had developed.

Can Eerie players be like this?

She remembered Leng Shuang saying on the road that the appearances of old players had all been changed.

Although people focus on spiritual communication, reality often dictates life and death based on appearance. If these two didn't have enough looks, meeting offline would likely be a disaster.

Nakiri Erina touched her own face; she was naturally beautiful and stunning, which was the confidence given to her by numerous pursuers.

She was also very clear about the level of her own appearance.

If Leng Shuang had her level of appearance in reality, even if it were slightly worse, the possibility of Ling taking a fancy to her would be much higher, right!

"Thanks."

Ten minutes later, Lin Ye moved slightly, signaling that the black-haired girl behind him could stop.

After the massage and back-pounding, his body did indeed feel more comfortable.

"No need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, then I should also thank you. Without your help, it would have been impossible for me to get this far."

If she had teamed up with another group and person, even if she were an old player, it really wouldn't be certain she could have reached here at this speed.

Along the way, the help Lin Ye gave was too much; it was impossible to thank him enough.

"This is a dungeon event; helping you is also helping myself."

"It's still different; the fact remains that you helped me."

This made Lin Ye stop arguing.

"In the later events, perhaps it will be you helping me."

"I hope so; I also want to be of use."

Up to now, the contribution she could make wasn't much—of course, it was much better than Nakiri Erina's—but later, when it involved cooking, she definitely wouldn't be as good as Nakiri Erina, this professional chef.

However, there were still areas.

The Gourmet Sports Meet involved physical strength and skills, and it wasn't just about walking; there would inevitably be other events involving physical exertion later.

This was where she would play her role.

Lin Ye's trio rested at the finish line for about 10 minutes, and the second place finally arrived.

An old player.

That white muscular man, along with his three group members.

At this time, the four of them were also sitting on the ground, gasping for air.

"Water, we need water, give us water quickly!"

"I'm starving to death, I want to eat, eat, eat!"

"This walking event is poisonous."

……

……

One after another,

group after group reached the finish line.

There were 15 minutes left until the stipulated six hours, and up to now, only eighteen groups had reached the finish line.

That was only about half the number of groups.

The elimination rate this time was quite high.

In the previous round, there was Lin Ye, so many groups that should have been eliminated successfully completed it, but this time... many groups were not so lucky.

Walking itself is an event with high physical requirements.

The thirty-kilometer journey, even if the road was flat, the traps and rain curtain area set within it still seriously affected the players' performance, especially the rain curtain area. If many players couldn't figure out the key and discard the heavy ingredients, then the difficulty of them reaching the finish line in time was undoubtedly very high.

"I wonder how many more groups will make it."

Many resting players looked toward the end of their field of vision.

A group appeared in front.

There were only three of them, stumbling and swaying, walking three steps and running one; it wouldn't be impossible for them to collapse in the next moment.

"Run faster!"

"There's no time left!"

"Come on!"

Looking at the sacks the three were carrying, the sacks were very bulging; clearly, they hadn't figured out the requirements given by the organizers and had stubbornly carried all the ingredients to this point.

"Faster!"

"Don't give up!"

"You'll be able to rest soon!"

Many new players encouraged them, shouting for them to keep going.

Besides admiration, there were also people thinking that according to the rules for food and water provided by the organizers, the amount of food and water that the player group about to reach the finish line could obtain would be astonishing.

Perhaps they could persuade them to get a portion of the food.

Players who figured out they could discard ingredients to reduce physical exertion, even including one group that only brought back a tiny bit of ingredients, resulted in the food and water they ate being completely insufficient.

The girl in the group did manage to get help from other players by requesting and acting cute, but the few men didn't have that treatment; they could only rely on themselves.

Hunger and thirst are the two things in the world people least want to experience.

If they could safely return to reality, they decided they must go to a buffet restaurant to eat a good meal and satisfy their appetite. ===== CHAPTER 692 =====
