Automatic Vending Machine

Mu Rufeng glanced back at the guy, completely ignoring the employees who were eyeing him menacingly, and started wandering around the cafeteria.

Wherever Mu Rufeng went, all the employees watched him with a strange look.

Some employees even swallowed involuntarily, as if Mu Rufeng were incredibly delicious.

However, despite their greedy gazes, not a single employee dared to make a move.

Mu Rufeng realized that most of these employees maintained human form.

A small portion had already become inhuman, taking on bizarre and grotesque shapes, some resembling the eerie forms of tentacle oddities.

Others looked like Chang Feng did at the moment of his death.

Fortunately, Mu Rufeng possessed the "Unafraid" attribute; otherwise, his legs would have been trembling long ago.

"Huh? A vending machine?" Mu Rufeng spotted a very modern automatic vending machine in a corner of the cafeteria.

Mu Rufeng walked straight up to it, and when he saw what was inside, his eyes immediately lit up.

There were many items inside: mineral water, drinks, spicy sticks, bread, and even instant noodles.

As for the prices, they were miraculously the same as in the real world.

Of course, this place required Soul Coins, not RMB.

There were also some items from weird dungeons, such as Blood Flower Beer, Scarlet Eyeballs, Corpse Worm Spicy Sticks, and so on. Naturally, these also required Soul Coins.

Mu Rufeng touched his stomach; he was genuinely hungry now.

The stronger his physique became, the faster he got hungry, and conversely, the more he ate.

Man is iron, rice is steel; without a meal, one feels hungry.

He had quite a few Soul Coins on him, 180 of them. Since they were all obtained for free, he didn't feel bad about spending them.

Mu Rufeng pondered for a moment, then chose two cups of instant noodles, along with two loaves of bread and two bottles of mineral water.

Two cups of instant noodles cost ten coins, two loaves of bread cost six coins, and two bottles of mineral water cost two coins, totaling eighteen Soul Coins.

Mu Rufeng took out two ten-coin bills and directly inserted them into the coin slot.

"Whirr, whirr, whirr, hiss, hiss~~~!"

The automatic vending machine jolted a few times, and then, with a few clunks, the items he bought dropped into the dispensing slot below.

Mu Rufeng squatted down, reached out, and took out the items.

When Mu Rufeng saw what he had received, he was stunned.

In his hands were only three items: Little Master Crispy Noodles, a Wife Cake, and a 330ml bottle of mineral water.

"What's going on? Did it give me the wrong items?"

He had eaten Little Master Crispy Noodles before; he even liked them as a child, but he had ordered two cups of Kang Shuai Fu instant noodles.

Little Master Crispy Noodles were priced at one coin, while the two cups of instant noodles were ten coins.

The price difference was tenfold.

Also, the two loaves of bread, which cost six coins, had been replaced by a single Wife Cake costing one coin, and the two 500ml bottles of mineral water had become one 330ml bottle of mineral water?

This had ripped him off for over ten coins.

"What are you looking at? Get lost," a scolding voice suddenly came from inside the vending machine.

"Huh? It's alive?" Mu Rufeng said in surprise.

A pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the vending machine in front of him, and the dispensing slot below had transformed into a mouth.

"I said, did you make a mistake? I gave you twenty coins and chose items worth eighteen coins, and you only gave me items worth two coins and fifty cents?" Mu Rufeng said.

"Hmm? Are you saying I gave you the wrong items?"

The vending machine's voice turned cold.

The next moment, a pair of arms and a pair of legs suddenly grew out of the vending machine.

The vending machine was already taller than Mu Rufeng, and with the addition of legs, it became even taller.

"Yes, you made a mistake." Mu Rufeng nodded, completely unfazed.

"Kid, I think you're tired of living." The vending machine reached out, grabbed Mu Rufeng by the collar, and yanked him upwards.

Riiip~~!

The T-shirt Mu Rufeng had bought for thirty coins was directly torn apart.

"Kid, get lost quickly, or I don't mind teaching you a lesson," the vending machine said gruffly.

Mu Rufeng's clothes were torn, but instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, "Excuse me, can you make a move on me?"

"Kid, I really think you're tired of living. Fine, you think the items are wrong? Then give them back."

The vending machine still didn't attack Mu Rufeng. Instead, it reached out, snatched the crispy noodles, Wife Cake, and mineral water from Mu Rufeng's hands, threw them directly into its mouth, and returned them to the shelf.

"You're probably violating the regulations by doing this, aren't you?" Mu Rufeng suddenly said.

"Heh heh, you're right, I am violating the regulations, but what can you do about it? Want to buy food? Fine, the price is ten times higher."

The vending machine retracted its limbs, looking smugly at Mu Rufeng.

Clearly, it was confident that as long as Mu Rufeng wanted to eat, he would have to buy from it.

After all, in the entirety of Scarlet Preferred, only its stall sold items from the human world.

In this bizarre place, it didn't dare to swindle the employees; they were all tough nuts to crack.

But humans, hehe, it could swindle one if it could.

Mu Rufeng wasn't the first person it had tried to swindle.

Even though its strength had been partially suppressed by Scarlet Preferred after it violated the rules, So what? Humans couldn't defeat it. If a fight broke out, it could fight back and then eat the human.

"Oh, so you mean I can make a move on you?" Mu Rufeng asked with a smile.

"What? You want to fight me? Sure, I'll stand here and let you hit me three times," the vending machine replied with a smile.

As long as Mu Rufeng attacked first, it could retaliate, and that would give it its blood food.

"You said it yourself." Mu Rufeng slowly raised his right hand.

"Yeah, come on," the vending machine said dismissively.

Don't be fooled by its vending machine appearance; its strength was not to be underestimated. It devoured humans one by one, a pair at a time.

"Then I'm coming."

Mu Rufeng took a step back with his right foot, clenched his right fist, swung his arm back, and twisted his upper body slightly to the right.

This stance allowed him to punch with maximum force.

"I don't even know how strong I am. I might as well test it out on you," Mu Rufeng muttered.

"Bring it on!" the vending machine maintained its disdainful expression.

With a loud "BOOM!"

The vending machine was slammed heavily into the wall behind it.

The glass window at the front of the vending machine had a large hole shattered through it.

And because it was smashed so hard into the wall behind it, the vending machine's body also suffered immense damage.

The tremendous commotion immediately drew many gazes.

When they saw the battered vending machine, their faces were filled with surprise.

"Oops, did I hit too hard? You're really not much of a fighter," Mu Rufeng exclaimed inwardly, though his outward expression was exaggeratedly concerned.

He immediately walked towards the vending machine.
