I Haven't Even Eaten Yet!

"Boss, everything you ordered comes to 1,675,000. Let me round it up for you—to 1,680,000. Would you like to pay cash or card?"

After Mo Shang had gone on a wild ordering spree, the boss finally came back with a bill totaling a whopping 1,680,000.

"Good grief, you rounded it up the wrong way! Boss, you've really got a talent for rounding..." Yellow Immortal said, his mouth twitching as he watched the boss's little maneuver from his perch on Mo Shang's shoulder.

"Heh-heh, I was just rounding it to a lucky number. 168 means 'making a fortune all the way.' Doesn't that sound nice?"

The boss chuckled, but soon noticed something was off. His eyes flew wide. "Huh? Wait, the Yellow Weasel just talked!"

"Don't make such a fuss over nothing. Weird Instances have already appeared. Is it really so strange for a Yellow Weasel like me to talk?" Yellow Immortal said languidly, rolling his eyes at the boss.

"Uh, I guess that's true..."

Yellow Immortal's words left the boss reeling. If something like a Weird Instance could appear, a talking Yellow Weasel didn't seem like such a big deal.

"Alright, boss, run the card and hurry up with the food." Mo Shang handed him a bank card.

"Sure thing. Please wait a moment, folks. I'll get right on it." The boss took the card and headed to the kitchen without wasting any more time.

The boss served the food quickly. Before long, dish after dish was being brought to the table.

"Look at all this delicious food."

Zhou Yi rubbed his hands together excitedly as he eyed the dishes before him. He picked up his chopsticks, ready to dig in.

But before Zhou Yi could pick up a bite and bring it to his mouth, he suddenly vanished from his seat...

"What happened? Where's Zhou Yi?!" Zhang San and Li Si sprang to their feet, shock written all over their faces as they stared at the spot where Zhou Yi had disappeared.

"Don't panic. He was just pulled into a Weird Instance. It's no big deal," Mo Shang suddenly said.

"Oh, then it's fine."

At that, Zhang San and Li Si nodded, sat back down, and picked up their chopsticks to continue eating.

Inside the Weird Instance.

At that moment, Zhou Yi was still holding his chopsticks, utterly dumbfounded.

"Holy crap, where the hell am I? Am I still in the country? What happened to my whole table of delicious food?"

He was no longer in the restaurant. Instead, he had been locked in a cramped, filthy room that was gloomy and dilapidated.

Not only that, his clothes had changed too. He was now wearing a training uniform covered in grime.

Looking at the filthy, squalid surroundings, Zhou Yi quickly came to his senses. He stared blankly for a moment, then his face twisted with anger. Gritting his teeth, he snarled,

"Damn Weird Instance! I haven't even eaten yet!"

Just as Zhou Yi was fuming, a prompt from the Weird Instance appeared before his eyes.

[Welcome to the solo Weird Instance: Internet Addiction Treatment Center.]

[Difficulty: High]

[Clear Condition: Escape within seven days.]

The next moment, as the system prompt disappeared, someone opened the door to the small, dark room.

The glaring sunlight made Zhou Yi uncomfortable, and he squinted slightly.

Once his eyes adjusted to the brightness, Zhou Yi got a clear look at the newcomer: a figure in an instructor's uniform, wearing a mask, standing outside the door.

Several burly men in matching training uniforms stood behind him...

"Zhou Yi, have you reflected on your actions?" The Instructor looked at Zhou Yi and spoke in a flat tone.

"Reflect on your mom!" Zhou Yi was already boiling with rage, and those words pushed him past his limit. He immediately swung a punch at the Instructor.

"Such a paltry trick, and you dare show off before an expert?"

Seeing Zhou Yi attack, the Instructor scoffed and reached out to grab the incoming fist.

The Instructor thought he could handle Zhou Yi with ease. But the moment his hand touched Zhou Yi's fist, he realized something was wrong. His pupils shrank, and terror filled his face.

"N-no, this can't be!"

The Instructor's hand was cracking apart inch by inch. An indescribable force was steadily eroding his body, and even the instance's rules couldn't stop it!

"I finally get to eat a decent meal, and you people drag me into an instance? Get ready to face my wrath!"

Zhou Yi roared as he punched the Instructor in the chest, sending him flying hard into the wall.

Then the Instructor's form faded like a burst bubble, vanishing without a trace, as though he had never existed...

With the Instructor killed in a single blow, the Weird Instance livestream erupted into an uproar:

"Holy crap, he took down the weird Instructor with one punch! What kind of talent did Zhou Yi draw?!"

"God Zhou is awesome! He's a one-punch man!"

"Baka! Why doesn't our Chosen One in the Sakura Kingdom have a talent like that? It's so unfair!"

"Hey, you from the Sakura Kingdom, what are you yapping about?"

"The Dragon Kingdom's Chosen Ones just got lucky. What are you so pleased about..."

"This is a Dragon Kingdom livestream. People from the Sakura Kingdom aren't welcome. Get lost!"

"I won't. What are you going to do about it?"

"Don't rush. Let them gloat for a while. I'll go over there later and put them in the Human Emperor Refining Banner."

"Brother, you're a hero! You're doing the people a service!"

After the Instructor was killed in a single blow, the burly men behind him looked stricken with panic. In an instant, they were thrown into chaos.

"Holy crap, the Instructor got killed in one shot."

"That's insane. How can someone that skinny be so strong?"

"Is he going to take us out too..."

After dealing with the Instructor, Zhou Yi turned toward the burly men. He pointed at one of them and crooked a finger. "You, come here."

"Boss, what can I do for you?"

The man Zhou Yi had pointed at approached quickly, his face tense. He swallowed nervously, bent at the waist, and wore an expression of utmost respect.

"Are you all staff here too?" Zhou Yi looked him over and asked.

"N-no, don't get the wrong idea. We're students here too." The burly man waved his hands frantically and hurried to explain, afraid he'd be hit as well.

"How do I get out of here?" Zhou Yi asked at once, showing no interest in making small talk.

"You just have to defeat Dean Yang, and you can leave..." the burly man hurried to answer.

"Where is he?" Zhou Yi nodded and asked again.

"He's usually in the dean's office. Boss, are you planning to challenge him?" the burly man asked curiously.

"Yeah. Hurry up and show me the way." Zhou Yi didn't hesitate and ordered him to lead the way.

Hearing that Zhou Yi wanted to challenge the dean, the burly man hesitated before saying, "Boss, you're very strong, but Dean Yang isn't an ordinary person. He can shoot electricity. Maybe we should think this through?"

"He can shoot electricity? Sounds interesting."

The burly man's words brought a flicker of surprise to Zhou Yi's face, but that was all. He wasn't the least bit afraid.

His left hand dealt high damage, and his right hand dealt High Damage. No matter what kind of monster he was up against, one punch would be enough!
