At the skeleton mages’s words, the players, led by Wen Ziqing, directly rushed forward in one single stride. Without washing their hands, they grabbed the meat at hand and gnawed on it.

They looked like hungry demons who hadn’t eaten in days.

Xia Chi and the others were also hungry, but they were a little horrified when they saw the players behaving like that.

Besides, Bai Lixin hadn’t moved.

God Xin was their weather vane, and if the God Xin didn’t move, they didn’t move either.

The skeleton mage turned ty the four of them, “Why don’t you go and eat?”

Bai Lixin looked at the skeleton mage, and then looked at the other players who were grabbing food with their hands with disgust and anger in his expression, “Impudent!”

“Even if these people are hungry, they should wash their hands first. They just grabbed so many things on the grass and ate without washing their hands. It’s disgusting. Who can eat with them? Maybe dogs can, right?”

Bai Lixin almost wrote the words “I’m very angry” on his head. He extended his index finger and pointed at the table, “Look at them, they threw the deer leg on the plate after two bites, and grabbed the roast meat next to it. Who can stand this?”

Xia Chi and the other two reacted quickly and hurriedly expressed the same type of anger as Bai Lixin.

The skeleton mage stayed for two seconds, his mouth opened slightly as if he wanted to say something, but his gaze fell on Bai Lixin’s ring and after a few seconds, the skeleton mage spoke, “We can prepare a separate meal for you.”

Bai Lixin put his hand to his waist, “It’s not a matter of making a portion or not, it’s a matter of table manners. I’m too disgusted by them to eat anything right now, we’re going back to bed.”

Skeleton mage: “Er…that…”

Bai Lixin, intentional or not, stretched out his ringed index finger and poked it at the skeleton mage, “What, you want us to watch in disgust until they finish eating?”

The skeleton mage’s breath almost came up to his throat.

But luckily, he didn’t have a throat.

This time, the skeleton mage was silent for a longer time, and after a minute he lowered his voice and said to a mage behind him, “You take them to where they’ll live.”

The other skeleton mage hesitated a little: “But the meal…”

The flame in the skeleton mage’s eyes grew: “What’s the hurry, there are so many days to go. The hospitality was not good today, we will prepare ‘separate’ dining rooms for these ‘elegant’ students.”

The words ‘elegant’ and ‘separate’ were said through gritted teeth, and Xia Chi could even hear the sound of the other’s teeth rubbing back and forth against each other.

He looked so angry.

But it was just a skeleton so there really wasn’t any expression to be seen.

Without further ado, the other skeleton mage led the four out of the dining hall.

As they walked away, Xia Chi could still hear the sounds of the players fighting over the food.

“This one’s for this old man, give it to me!”

“Delicious, it’s so good!”

“So hungry, I’m so hungry.”

How bizarre, what was going on here?

There living quarters were on the second floor. The architecture of the place was built in the grand style of Western European royalty and the place they would be staying in was no exception.

Each of them had a luxurious room with a huge velvet bed and exquisite carpets under their feet, and the word “rich” was evident everywhere.

This was definitely the most luxurious room they had ever stayed in since they started playing the game.

The skeleton mage gave them a quick “don’t wander around at night” and then turned to leave without a second thought.

After the skeleton mage left, the three silently knocked on the door of Bai Lixin’s room.

Xia Chi’s expression was filled with panic: “Brother, what’s going on? Why are the six of them so hungry?”

Bai Lixin: “Maybe they really are so hungry.”

He pulled out the magic book and found a small line in the appendix on the last page.

“Look here, magic is an equivalent substitution, the magic you use will consume an equivalent amount of energy.”

Xia Chi’s expression was very subtle: “Damn it, it’s a magic world yet it strictly follows the law of conservation of energy? Did I graduate from high school, or is the world in disarray?”

“They practiced all afternoon and used a lot of magic. Humans consume so much energy, so they obviously have to replenish it from food.” Bai Lixin closed the book, “You three had only practiced for a while before I came, so it won’t have much of an impact.”

The three immediately looked like they had eaten flies at the thought of being reduced to that same ghastly appearance if Bai Lixin hadn’t come over.

Bai Lixin took out four packs of compressed biscuits, four bottles of water and four apples from his backpack and handed one to each of them, “Although you’re not using magic that hard, you’re consuming energy as long as you bteath so you still need to eat. These are the things I stocked up on from the points mall and although they taste average, they can at least fill your hunger.”

Xia Chi held the apple, “It’s not just filling, it’s also a vitamin supplement, how thoughtful of Brother.”

The four sat on the sofa next to the coffee table, and Li Cancan took a bite of the compressed biscuit, pulling the dryness in her throat to swallow it.

She took a sip of water and looked at Bai Lixin hesitantly, “God Xin, the attitude of those skeleton mages seemed a bit strange when we didn’t eat. It felt like they wanted us to eat so badly. Could it be that they wanted us to eat those meals, so they deliberately made us practice magic for so long?”

Bai Lixin: “It’s a very reasonable deduction.”

Li Cancan’s frown deepened, “Could it be that there was something in the food? That skeleton mage said he’d have a separate table for us tomorrow, how shall we excused ourselves then?”

Bai Lixin: “By my guess, eating a normal amount of food may not be a problem.”

“If there was something wrong with the food, all they’d need was for us to eat a little, they wouldn’t need to overwork the players with magic. As you noticed while walking to the dining hall, the skeleton mage deliberately slowed down. He was trying to heighten the player’s appetite as much as possible.”

“It doesn’t matter what you eat, it’s how much you eat that matters.”

“So we shouldn’t have a problem if we eat normal portions tomorrow.”

Xia Chi: “Then why did you let us leave, brother? We could have just eaten less.”

Bai Lixin gave Xia Chi a disgusted look, “Although there was an element of acting, I was really disgusted.”

The three: “……”

They didn’t know why, but looking back on that image, it was really disgusting.

Liang Xi: “Do you guys think they will remember what happened tonight?”

Xia Chi: “They’re just starving but they don’t have amnesia, so they’ll remember, right?”

Bai Lixin: “Even if they do remember, once the hunger strikes again, they will still become what they were tonight, after all, they are starving.”

“So here’s the question,” Xia Chi said after swallowing a bite of compressed biscuit. His eyes darted back and forth between Bai Lixin and Liang Xi, “what exactly happens when you eat too much food?”

He looked at Liang Xi because he had done the information gathering and might know something, and he looked at Bai Lixin because he believed in his brother’s wisdom. He must have a guess or something.

Liang Xi scratched his head a little awkwardly, “Sorry, I never saw the live stream of them eating. And they were quiet calm with the Undead whenever I switched back, so I never saw anything unusual.”

The air was quiet for two seconds, and three pairs of eyes fell on Bai Lixin in unison.

The data gatherer wasn’t as good as his brother, either.
