I'm picking up trash in the copy

The windows of the dormitory were closed, the curtains were half drawn, and the two of them sat facing each other in the shadows.

The person in the room she had seen several times before was the student who was carrying a vegetable basket and going to and from the laboratory building.

But how could the serious NPC student in the dungeon appear in the staff dormitory? Jiang You asked: "Who are you?"

"It's my turn to ask you this. Aren't you afraid of breaking the death rule of the game by climbing through the window and entering the staff dormitory?" The person opposite asked the question instead.

The slightly translucent curtains cast shadows, and the light and shadow on his face flickered when he spoke.

Jiang You was shocked when he suddenly heard him mention the game.

She asked: "Are you a player too?" Otherwise, how would you know the rules of the game and death.

The person opposite didn't admit it. He picked up the badge on the table next to him. The badge was the same style as Jiang You's, but it didn't say one of the eight major cuisines. It had a name written on it - Liu Qing.

"I'm just an ordinary student at Perfect Cooking Academy, but I know what you want and I can help you." Liu Qing said.

Facing Jiang You's distrustful look, Liu Qing added: "If you want to enter the college restaurant outside of meals, you need to pretend to be a restaurant staff."

In a few words, Liu Qing expressed Jiang You's thoughts: "However, work clothes are not enough."

"Do you still need the identity card of the staff?" Jiang You asked, this was her previous guess.

"Your idea is very good. I used to think that having a work card would be enough, but that's not the case." Liu Qing smiled and shook his head, explaining:

"The college's work badge represents a fixed identity and cannot be faked. Here, the work badge is not the key, identity is. If you want to enter the restaurant, you need an identity, and I can give you this identity."

"There is a chef in the restaurant who likes to cook fish. His surname is Liu. Just call him..." Liu Qing hesitated for a moment, as if he was struggling. After thinking about it, he continued: "Just call him Uncle Liu. When you enter the restaurant, you Just tell him that you were recommended by me, and he will accept you."

"Who are you talking about, the chef?"

Liu Qing: "That's the person you're thinking of, the fisherman in "How to Make a Boiled Fish". Since you chose Sichuan cuisine, you must have watched the documentary."

Jiang You nodded, indicating that she knew. What she didn't understand was why Liu Qing wanted to help her.

However, Liu Qing obviously had no intention of explaining, and Jiang You didn't ask any more questions. She put on her white work clothes, opened the window, and climbed out.

As soon as he landed, a key smashed out, followed by Liu Qing's voice.

"Next time you come over, don't climb through the window."

Jiang You went to the restaurant again, and as Liu Qing said, this time, the staff in white at the door did not stop her.

At the window of Sichuan cuisine, Jiang You saw Uncle Liu, who was holding a kitchen knife and concentrating on slicing a big fish.

From Jiangyou's perspective, you can see that the fish fillets are as thin and transparent as cicada wings.

Jiang You stood at the window, wondering whether to call him out at this time.

While she was hesitating, a voice came from the window.

"Why isn't Ah Qing here?" Uncle Liu didn't turn his head and kept moving his hands.

Jiang You knew that he had discovered her, so she thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Liu, my name is Liu Jiang. Ah Qing is not feeling well. He asked me to help you with work these days."

"Okay, come in then."

Putting the vegetable basket on his back on the table next to him, Jiang You glanced at the kitchen. There was only one chef working at each window.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Jiang You smelled a strong and familiar aroma.

There is no source, every ingredient exudes the same flavor.

It seems that the special materials mentioned in the game's side missions do not refer to ingredients, but they should have something to do with the source of these ingredients.

Jiang You asked: "Uncle Liu, are all the ingredients here produced by our college?"

Uncle Liu looked up at her and said, "Of course, don't ask stupid questions like this again. In this world, only the ingredients produced by our Perfect Culinary Academy are the most perfect ingredients."

Jiang You turned around and saw that Uncle Liu was the only one in the Sichuan kitchen. The staff at other windows were all working, and no one expressed curiosity about her appearance.

She asked: "Uncle Liu, do we have braised beef here?"

Uncle Liu kept moving his hands and didn't ask her what she wanted to do. He just said: "The second floor of the cabinet."

Jiang You opened the cabinet and found a variety of meats inside, but there were no labels, so he didn't know what they were.

According to the location mentioned by Uncle Liu, she found a piece of braised beef on the second floor that was almost enough to fill a plate.

She can just slice the braised beef and put it on the plate. She can save a lot of time. I wonder how other players have completed their cooking tasks?

The first floor of the experimental building.

Most of the players have returned here, and some have finished making their own food.

But no one has submitted yet.

No one knows what the criteria for judging cooking jobs are, and no one wants to be the first.

Game NPCs have repeatedly emphasized their love for food and the food they are best suited to cook.

Players already know that the food that is most suitable for cooking here is not about making them, but which dish they are most suitable for.

They are the ingredients.

The scarred man looked at the dark, indescribable thing on his plate, his face livid.

The settlement of points for clearing a copy is related to the player's performance in the copy.

If you rank first in cooking assignments three times in a row, you can get individual tutoring from the dean.

He thought this must be a bonus that he had to get first.

The scarred man took off the dagger tied to his arm and slashed it hard on his palm.

Instantly, blood dripped.

The dark object on the plate was covered with a layer of blood.

Zhao Kai looked at the clock in the middle of the hall. An hour and a half had passed and Jiang You hadn't come back yet.

NPCs in the dungeon have fixed rules for killing people, but NPCs who enter the dungeon via the shuttle do not need to abide by these rules.

Jiang You lured away the NPC uncle who transformed into a big octopus. I wonder what she is doing now.

As a newcomer, even if she has successfully acquired props and skills, she cannot use the skills without points.

The game gives a novice halo, which will not be effective against random NPCs. Facing the rampaging NPCs alone, Jiang You has little chance of survival.

However, Zhao Kai thought of Jiang You's provocation and lured away the rampaging octopus, and inexplicably felt that she would not die like this.

The clock points to nine fifty, and Jiang You is late.

The players looked at her and saw Jiang You calmly taking out a piece of meat. After simply slicing it and putting it on a plate, she directly put a sign saying it was cooked.

Jiang You became the first person to submit his homework.

Everyone was shocked by her operation, but some people were secretly happy. As long as Jiang You ranked last, it meant that they had entered the safe zone.

There was a male player with half of his face covered with gray fish scales who was the most delighted. He looked at the grading teacher eagerly, and the results of the cooking homework evaluation came out quickly.

As expected, Scar Man won first place.

However, to everyone's surprise, Jiang You's dish was rated fifth.

This is a very safe ranking. Cheng Qianli glanced at Jiang You curiously. He seemed to know why Jiang Ling agreed to a deal with a newcomer.

Facing this result, the expression of the male player whose face was covered with gray fish scales changed dramatically.

He is the last one.

Being the last one means that he needs to go to the psychological consultation room again at 8 o'clock tonight.

He is now highly mutated, with his whole body basically covered in fish scales, with only half of his face still exposed.

If he goes to the psychological counseling room again, he will definitely turn into a fish.

The Fish Scale player turned around and threw himself at Cheng Qianli's feet: "President Cheng, save me! I don't want to die!"

If there is anyone in this dungeon who is willing and able to save him, it must be Cheng Qianli.

Cheng Qianli, the president of the Morning and Night Association, is known to all players in the game world as a good person.

Jiang Ling grabbed Cheng Qianli's wrist and pulled him to take a step back, avoiding the fish-scale player.

The fish scale player's expression was full of despair, and the surrounding players looked on coldly.

In the game world, if you want to live well, you must abandon unnecessary sympathy.

In this world, it is difficult to save yourself, let alone save others.

Suddenly, a pleasant sound, like celestial music, sounded behind the fish scale player.

Jiang You patted his shoulder and said, "Stop crying. One hundred points. I will go to the psychological consultation room for you tonight."
