First Love Girlfriend · ATM Machine No. 1

Inside the Rose Manor, there was naturally plenty of firewood and fuel, and outside the Mirror Maze, there were many bushes.

Although there are basically no light sources here except for the candlelight emanating from the Mirror Maze, Players generally carry some items in their Inventory, such as a powerful flashlight, a lighter, or matches.

After finding an open space not far from the exit of the Mirror Maze, a fire was quickly lit.

Unlike amusement Rose Manor doesn't have rules against bringing in outside food, so food supplies are generally guaranteed. Most Player carry about half a month's worth of food in their Inventory before they can't fit any more.

However, if you have a storage item like [Cupid's Pinky Ring], carrying more food is not impossible.

The Young Girl displayed considerable enthusiasm for grilling meat, using a top-quality grill, professional equipment, premium beef, squid tentacles, chicken wings, bacon, onions, Potato, enoki mushrooms, sausages, Honey, Brush, various seasonings, plates, skewers... and even a whole chicken that had been killed beforehand.

As the other person kept pulling out the ingredients from their Inventory, not only was Steel Bones dumbfounded, but Bai Zhi was also taken aback.

The "barbecue" he described was nothing more than skewering meat on sticks and grilling it over a fire, occasionally sprinkling it with salt or applying some coating. Compared to the full preparations the other party had made, the two were worlds apart.

Look, that's what professionalism is! This is what professionalism is all about!!

While Bai Zhi was sighing, Steel Bones, standing to the side, began to question the meaning of life once again.

Watching the Girl with Short Black Hair skillfully setting up the grill—clearly not a first-timer —Steel Bones began to suspect she was actually a Logistics Player...

They had spent about two or three hours in the car, and then another three or four hours walking through the Labyrinth. In addition, they had to be constantly vigilant and observe their surroundings while in the Labyrinth. To be honest, he was indeed a little hungry.

In this situation, sitting down to eat something and replenish one's energy is not a bad idea.

However, what Steel Bones considered "eating and resting" meant eating Compressed Biscuits while cautiously surveying their surroundings, not like now, openly finding an open space to start a fire and then taking out various professional equipment to start grilling meat...

As a Soldier, his Inventory contained a large amount of Compressed Biscuits. Even considering that these young people might not be able to eat those dry and hard Compressed Biscuits, he also carried a portion of military rations.

The army's rations could be made into a hot meal in just a few minutes with a small cup of ice water, plus pickled vegetables and chili sauce, which not only filled their stomachs but also provided ample nutrition.

But he had clearly already prepared to teach them how to use these...

Looking at the bonfire rising in front of him and the grill that was being quickly set up, Steel Bones sat to the side with a blank expression.

The finest beef, sliced and glistening with oil, sits on a baking sheet. Honey -infused Brush is brushed onto the roasted chicken broth, releasing an irresistible aroma that makes your mouth water...

Do you do this kind of thing often?

Bai Zhi originally wanted to hone his cooking skills, but faced with Young Girl professional skills were clearly superior and more proficient, he obediently relinquished control.

"Yes, because barbecue is delicious."

The Young Girl nodded as she focused on mixing the various seasonings on the plate.

"My cooking skills have improved a lot. You can try some later."

"... Um?"

After hearing what the other person said, Bai Zhi looked up at the Young Girl in front of him with a slight puzzlement.

In the firelight, the Young Girl's face was clearly visible.

After taking a closer look, and then glancing slightly at the other person's shoulder-length short hair, Bai Zhi's expression immediately became incredibly strange.

... He hadn't realized it before, but now, observing them up close, he seemed to recognize who they were.

He Zhiqiū, a senior a year ahead of him in academics and a year younger than him, was a prominent Senior at Binhai University and his first girlfriend, the Legendary "ATM Machine No. 1"... or something like that?

Looking at the other person's neat short hair, Bai Zhi was honestly a little unsure, because in his memory, He Zhiqiū should have had waist-length black hair...

--But the flat-chested part does match up.

Bai Zhi glanced subtly at the other person's front, then casually gave his reply and took the prepared condiment dish from them.

"Really? Looks like I'm in for a treat... I'll have this one."

... Hmm, it seems like my Senior didn't recognize me... no, it seems like she did... but even if she did, it doesn't matter, so much time has passed anyway... I've had seven girlfriends already...

However, I just learned about the other party's return from Mu Qiansè, and now I happen to run into them in the Dungeon... Could this be the Legendary Murphy's Law?

That is to say, if you hear something or a certain term one day, you will inevitably find traces of that thing again somewhere the next day...

Sitting amidst the bustling, Fireworks atmosphere, and staring blankly at the two people in front of him who were practically radiating a strong sense of affection, Steel Bones felt utterly out of place, like a 200,000-watt Big Light Bulb...

"What, aren't you going to eat?"

Bai Zhi picked up a skewer of grilled Grilled Chicken Wings, took a bite, and then asked Steel Bones a question.

"I have no appetite and can't eat."

Always vigilant and aware of his surroundings, Steel Bones responded calmly.

This is not a suitable camping spot; it's an S-rank Dungeon deemed extremely dangerous by the system, centered around horror and supernatural Anomaly. He must remain vigilant at all times.

"That's perfect, please help me grill it."

Bai Zhi handed over a plate of bacon without hesitation.

Steel Bones: "..."

I was originally thinking of saying something about how I needed to be vigilant and didn't have time for that, or I could just teach them a lesson so they wouldn't underestimate this Dungeon and would at least have some basic respect for this S-rank Dungeon...

But when he thought of the other party's previous outstanding performance, he was so thoroughly defeated that he couldn't utter a single word.

Feeling utterly exhausted, he took the plate of bacon, then picked up the Steel Bones and sat down by the fire.
