New Instance! The Canteen Freezer!
In the following period, although he obtained some "information," Lin Yu did not take any new actions rashly.
Before completing the "Tier Advancement," Lin Yu will not proactively engage in matters related to the organization.
After all, school courses are quite demanding.
I have midterm assignments for two courses, one of which is a group assignment.
The old professor of acting class suddenly decided to have them read Shakespeare's plays, saying it was related to the final exam—which would take Lin Yu quite a bit of effort.
After Shen Bingmiao had been investigating repeatedly recently, the club president had no choice but to ask Lin Yu to do something— Lin Yu, who had previously refused to participate in the "club promotion" recording activity, now had to agree to Shen Bingmiao's request.
"Welcome to the Jiangcheng University Drama club, fellow freshmen! I'm Lin Yu, and I'll be waiting for you Drama club!"
Amidst numerous practical matters, soon...
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Tuesday has arrived again.
The notification popped up right after Noon.
"Less than 24 hours remain until the latest start time of the next Game!"
"Please place yourself in a sub-zero environment before midnight tonight and wait to enter the Game."
Upon seeing this notification, Lin Yu stroked his chin.
"Below zero?"
Finding such a suitable place was difficult, so Lin Yu's first thought was to clean out his refrigerator and crawl inside.
But...
It was one thing for him to lock the bathroom door from the inside before.
Lin Yu currently lives in a small apartment with a small kitchen, so the refrigerator is placed in the dining room!
He sneaked into the refrigerator in the middle of the night; Lin Zhao would definitely drag him out and give him a good scolding.
Therefore, Lin Yu began to think.
"We need to find Cold Storage or something..."
He muttered to himself, then began to think.
There are usually a lot of restaurants in places like this, right?
My sister's restaurant?
No...
Absolutely not.
That... the Tycoon's?
That won't work either; the Tycoon's restaurant has been abandoned for who knows how long.
Furthermore, Lin Yu didn't really want to have too close a connection with the Tycoon.
After much deliberation, Lin Yu came up with the best solution.
"Looks like I'll have to try the school cafeteria!"
Lin Yu thought of the most suitable option so far.
As a student at Jiangcheng Media University, it's quite reasonable for him to be on campus late at night, isn't it?
Even telling her sister that she was at school and taking some photos would have completely saved Lin Zhao from worrying.
As for how to sneak into the school cafeteria's Cold Storage or freezers, Lin Yu quickly came up with a complete plan!
"Let's rule out the first and second canteens first, as they are directly operated by the school. Their Cold Storage is located elsewhere, and the ingredients are all delivered fresh by truck every morning."
"The fourth canteen closes late and is too close to the library; those exam-obsessed students might see me..."
"All things considered, the Canteen 3 is the most suitable, not only because it's outsourced, but also because its location is relatively remote."
"Most importantly, the Canteen 3 has a back door with only an old-fashioned padlock!"
Thinking of this, Lin Yu then went to check out the Canteen 3.
It's lunchtime now, so it's not unreasonable for Lin Yu to go to the Canteen 3.
Lin Yu quickly ate a meal at the Braised Chicken window in the Canteen 3, and through the window he could see the scene in the kitchen.
The huge freezers are displayed with separate windows, each large enough to comfortably fit a person.
Moreover, it's easy to get into the kitchen once you enter the cafeteria. Although those windows are equipped with iron curtains, based on trust in the character of college students and the school's surveillance system, very few windows will actually pull down the iron curtains after closing the door.
Therefore, Lin Yu confirmed once again that finding a freezer in the Canteen 3 to enter the Game should be feasible.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu also edited and sent another text message to his sister, Lin Zhao.
"I'm doing a group project at school tonight, and I plan to stay up all night with my classmates. I won't be going home."
Lin Zhao has always been supportive of his studies.
"Okay, don't overwork yourself."
Lin Zhao replied quickly.
After receiving Lin Zhao's approval, Lin Yu resumed his studies at school.
Taking this opportunity, he also went to the library and read some of the Shakespeare plays recommended by the professor.
Although Lin Yu studied acting in high school, after two years of learning acting and performing on stage himself, his mindset about it is different now.
"Shakespeare truly deserves the title of genius; to write such a magnificent play hundreds of years ago in the Middle Ages..."
Lin Yu sighed.
He couldn't even imagine how shocked and eager he would be to perform these groundbreaking scripts for the first time, outside of classic epic plays and mediocre contemporary scripts, if he were a stage Actor born in medieval Europe.
Soon...
The night grew quiet.
As the famous saxophone tune played as the library closed, Lin Yu realized...
It's eleven o'clock!
He calmly put the complete works of Shakespeare back on the shelf, then left the library with the flow of people.
Then, while most people were rushing towards the dormitory, I quietly turned onto another path and headed towards the Canteen 3.
Just as Lin Yu had predicted, the Canteen 3 near the sports field was quiet in the evening, with only a few young couples strolling hand in hand.
The back door of the Canteen 3, which is next to the staff bicycle shed, was completely deserted.
Lin Yu reached the back door of the Canteen 3 without any trouble, and then unexpectedly discovered something.
"Hey, the door's still unlocked!"
He looked at the door lock with some surprise, which turned out to be just hanging there.
It seems the lack of preparedness in the Canteen 3 is more serious than I imagined!
Not only was the iron curtain at the window open, but the door lock was also just loosely hung up!
He had originally planned to try poking at it with a wire following the tutorials he learned online, and if that didn't work, he would break it open by force.
Now, I don't have that worry anymore.
Lin Yu quietly opened the door, slipped inside, and then closed the door again.
Upon entering the Canteen 3, Lin Yu went straight to a window selling Dumplings.
This Dumplings shop is a well-known pre-made food restaurant on campus. All the Dumplings are frozen. However, because the prices are so affordable, and you can even get a free boxed drink if you buy four Dumplings and only weigh three ounces, the business is quite booming.
His freezer was naturally the largest in the entire kitchen.
And there are no partitions!
Lin Yu opened the freezer door, and there were large bags of Dumplings lying inside.
Lin Yu took out two of the bags, then took out his phone and sent a scheduled text message to Shen Bingmiao.
"I'm trapped in the freezer at the Dumplings window of the Canteen 3! Help me!"
After sending the message at 12:05 AM and confirming that the battery level and signal strength were correct, Lin Yu placed the two phones on the table outside.
Although the freezer appeared to be operable from the inside, Lin Yu was still worried that something unexpected might happen.
It wouldn't be good if we made it through the "Death game" only to freeze to death inside!
