Meanwhile, in the world of ghost stories,
Babu and the others, rubbing their aching arms, followed Chef Su to the dining area.
They were immediately greeted by a huge pile of steaming self-heating pots.
Everyone was instantly stunned.
Was this the sumptuous lunch Chef Su had promised, the one he'd prepared for them despite the trouble?
However, this doubt only lingered in their minds for a very short time.
It was quickly dispelled by Su Chen, the sixth brother,
who pulled out a large bottle of multivitamins from his system space!
A delicious, nutritious, and filling lunch—
how could it not be a sumptuous lunch?
Everyone was speechless.
What he said made perfect sense; they couldn't refute it!
After a lively lunch, they didn't rush back to the classroom.
Instead, they took several sheets and recliners from Su Chen and sprawled out,
enjoying the sunshine.
Just as they were chatting idly,
Su Chen suddenly said in a low voice...
"Just a heads-up, I think there's a high chance we'll have another physical education test this afternoon. You little rascals better be prepared!" Upon
hearing this, Babu and the others immediately jumped to their feet,
their eyes filled with confusion.
"Why?"
Xiong Bao, abandoning all preamble, asked.
"It's obvious. Think about it, since the teacher's goal is to establish authority and intimidate us into studying harder, one test this morning simply isn't enough. Killing one cheater like Meng En won't be very effective."
"What's truly effective is another test this afternoon, catching those unlucky ones who consistently rank at the bottom and delivering a decisive blow."
"That's what has a deterrent effect."
After Su Chen's explanation, everyone understood again.
However, immediately afterward, except for Arik, a sense of panic rose in the hearts of the others.
Because the afternoon class was physical education.
And those native students were all as strong as calves.
The Chosen Ones had no chance against them in terms of physical strength.
So everyone's test rankings would definitely be low.
Therefore, to avoid being at the bottom, their only way was to surpass the other Chosen Ones.
For example, there's the group of academic geniuses like Saike.
However, everyone wasn't too confident about this.
Most of Saike's group were from the West, and they were all taller and bigger than Babu and the others.
In terms of physical strength, everyone was at a disadvantage from the start.
"Su Shen, what should we do?"
Cui Zhengxun asked in a panic.
Su Chen sighed.
"I'll have my wife give you a buff later, so you can get through the afternoon's exam first. You'd better be sweet to me then, okay?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.
Then they were overjoyed.
Wow! We can actually enjoy a life of cheating?
So everyone nodded repeatedly, their faces full of obedience.
Seeing this, Su Chen continued.
"Let me be clear from the start, you only have this one chance to cheat. In this dungeon, my wife is our last lifeline, and we can't waste too much of her power."
"So from now on, you must increase your physical training like crazy!"
"Also, don't be afraid of getting injured, I'll heal you once every night!"
After hearing these words, everyone's face darkened.
Train like crazy?
You're here to heal our injuries?!
What kind of training is this?!
Are we here to clear a mystery dungeon, or to take a gym class?!
Estelle was the most distraught.
The little girl was almost in tears.
"I don't want to train like this!"
" I'm going to become a muscle-bound Barbie, how am I ever going to get married?!"
But happiness is a conserved emotion; if someone is unhappy, then someone else is definitely very happy.
For example, Alik was incredibly excited.
"Yay! Su Chen, I'm relieved to hear you say that, I'll definitely train like crazy!"
Alik clenched his fist, his eyes shining.
Seeing this, Su Chen wanted to say, "If you keep training like this, you'll turn your brain into muscle!"
But then he thought, "A little bear cub who doesn't use his brain is also cute."
In the end, he didn't say anything.
After everyone had processed the news, Su Chen mentally informed Su Hongyi and then called her out.
Speaking of which, Su Hongyi hadn't had much contact with people since birth.
So she was a bit socially awkward.
Especially seeing a group of Su Chen's underlings standing in front of her, she instantly and reflexively suppressed her smile and reverted to her cold queen persona.
That powerful aura made everyone breathless.
Impacted by this, everyone stood at attention and then gave a deep bow.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
everyone shouted in unison.
Su Hongyi blushed slightly.
She wanted to say something, but her social anxiety kicked in, and after hesitating for a long time, she still couldn't say anything.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Fortunately, Estelle was quite tactful.
She instantly saw through Su Hongyi's social anxiety.
So she quickly moved over and pulled out a carefully prepared jewelry gift from her handbag.
"Master's wife, this is a gift I picked out for you before. Take a look and see if you like it."
As she spoke, she casually took Su Hongyi's arm.
Su Hongyi felt a little embarrassed, but she couldn't refuse.
She could only open the jewelry box and take a look.
And then, this one look was all it took for Su Hongyi to immediately regain her spirits.
Her beautiful eyes instantly lit up with surprise.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
Su Hongyi exclaimed excitedly.
Sure enough, whether a woman or a female ghost, any woman would be captivated by exquisite jewelry.
"Come on, let's go to the side, I'll help you put it on."
Estelle pulled Su Hongyi aside.
It has to be said, Estelle's emotional intelligence was truly off the charts.
She quickly eased Su Hongyi's social anxiety.
When the two returned, Su Hongyi had already shed her aloof aura.
Su Hongyi walked to Su Chen's side and generously took his arm.
She greeted everyone.
Then, with a light wave of her arm, several bright white lights flashed and pierced everyone's chests.
"I've strengthened your physiques; the effect should last until tonight."
"After the effect wears off, you might feel weak all over, but don't worry, this is normal. You can have Su Chen heal you then."
After Su Hongyi finished speaking, Su Chen added.
"Let me remind you, you're probably all on stimulants right now, so don't think you're invincible and do anything beyond human limits."
"If you're going to get hurt, you'll still get hurt! Got it?"
Everyone nodded quickly in agreement.
After settling that, Su Chen pulled Su Hongyi into a nearby grove for a while to show off their affection.
He then explained the rules and their current situation to Su Hongyi.
Su Hongyi's opinion coincided with Su Chen's.
They both suggested first figuring out which rules were original and which were added later.
Through these rules, they could understand the basic logic and objectives of both sides.
Then, using this information, they could figure out the risks in Eden.
Finally, they could explore Eden themselves.
Afterwards, the two of them cuddled for a while longer. Su Chen took out his phone and saw that it was almost time for afternoon classes.
So he quickly coaxed Su Hongyi back onto her bracelet.
Then, he led everyone back to the classroom as quickly as possible.
