Chapter 537: Chapter 241 Crafty Tricks "Washing Machine" _2

"Got it, got it!" Wei Liang also "just happened" to stabilize the tray and used the bottom of it to block all the debris, ensuring that the shattered blue Pocket Chef’s head didn’t splatter any residue onto the table...

Out of breath, Wei Liang placed the tray in front of Lin Yi, and the fried dough sticks on it gently swayed.

The befuddled fried dough sticks hadn’t reacted to the washing machine-like maneuver that had just occurred and were even more confusedly picked up by Lin Yi, who slowly brought them to his mouth...

Lin Yi glanced at the shadow in the alloy tray, where the headless, statue-like blue Pocket Chef awkwardly moved his hands, felt around where his head should be but touched nothing...

"Liangzi..." Lin Yi looked at Wei Liang with incredulity on his face.

Wei Liang, still panting and propping up his knees, saw the shocked expression on Lin Yi’s face and couldn’t help but show off with a motor-like movement, "How about that? Isn’t this core strength of your brother impressive?"

"Impressive..." Lin Yi mumbled while munching on the fried dough stick.

Wei Liang proudly said, "You think I watched the ’S-City Rich Wives’ Directory’ for nothing? Theory needs to be matched with practice!"

He patted Lin Yi on the shoulder significantly.

"That directory is for real, huh..." Lin Yi was somewhat speechless, thinking to himself that your core strength is indeed impressive, but what’s more impressive is that washing machine-like leveraging technique, right?

You didn’t mention this killer move at all!

But suddenly, Wei Liang realized something, and his expression drastically changed, "Oh crap, not good!"

He quickly covered his lower abdomen, looking cautiously at Lin Yi, "I almost forgot you’re a bit unconventional...you, you, you... Old Lin, my XP is normal! I like White Silk Lolita... Black Silk Mature ladies are also fine, this motor action is meant for them, you, you, you... better not get any ideas!"

Lin Yi: "..."

"Go away, go away, go away!"

Lin Yi gulped down the remaining fried dough stick.

At that moment, Tian Bufan spoke up, "Is everyone finished eating?"

"I’m done," Wei Shan said.

"Hmm," Kuai Hongji nodded.

"Finished a long time ago, let’s get going already!" Wei Liang said as well.

Tian Bufan patted Wei Liang on the shoulder, "If we’re done eating, wanna head to the Convenience Store to get some stuff?"

"Sure thing, sure thing..." Wei Liang was still in a proud mood when he suddenly jolted, "Wait a sec, what did you say?!"

"To the Convenience Store, quick," Tian Bufan urged.

Wei Liang’s face immediately soured, and he said bitterly, "What Convenience Store? I really don’t know where it is..."

"Then let me rephrase it, how did you buy stuff last time? Do it the same way this time," Tian Bufan said, not waiting for Wei Liang to complain further, adding, "This Cafeteria is getting weirder by the day, shouldn’t we prepare some food just in case?"

"If one day we really can’t come to the Cafeteria, at least having some food will fill our stomachs."

"Uh... you do make a good point," Wei Liang said with a troubled look, "But honestly, although my method has been foolproof so far, it’s hard to say if it will work this time..."

"No need to say it if it’s hard to say, just get started," Kuai Hongji said, arms crossed, a sly smile playing on his lips.

"Alright, alright... you guys win." Wei Liang then got up, tidied up the table, "You guys follow me, okay?"

Lin Yi’s eyes brightened, looking forward to Wei Liang’s operation with anticipation, thinking that after waiting so long, he could finally witness Liangzi’s maneuver.

"Let’s go put away the trays first." Wei Liang, like someone instructing hand in hand, led Lin Yi and the others to the tray return area.

Then, without any unnecessary actions, he neatly placed down the tray.

Just this operation startled Lin Yi.

Wouldn’t this provoke an attack from the green Pocket Chef?

Sure enough, the moment Wei Liang put down the tray, the sound of metal pots and pans falling to the ground echoed from the shadowy area near window 3, and the green Pocket Chef at window 10 located Wei Liang and recklessly burst out from the shopping window.

But Wei Liang was not in a hurry at all, instead, he was still waiting at the same spot for Lin Yi and the others to return their utensils.

"Then, it’s time to go shopping, let’s go," Wei Liang said as he saw everyone drop off their utensils. He briefly surveyed their current location and then slowly walked towards the shadowed area of the number 5 food service window...

Lin Yi’s heart thumped wildly. Wasn’t that the number 10 food service window?

"Liangzi, that is..."

He was about to remind him but immediately realized.

"No! That is indeed the number 10 food service window, but it’s also... also a place where ’the sunlight, not the artificial light, shines’!"

The Cafeteria faced north to south in its architectural layout, and the internal sequence of food service windows increased from left to right. When the sun set, the remnant sunlight from the west side, specifically from window number 1, would shine through, falling right at that window.

And in the morning, naturally, it came from the east, around window number 5!

But the problem was, window number 10... was also on that side!

Moreover, this alignment meant that the pursuit between Wei Liang and the green apron chefs was not head-on but rather moving towards each other. Wasn’t this like walking right into their arms?

As Lin Yi felt puzzled about this, he noticed that Wei Liang was not walking straight towards that area. Instead, he walked a distance towards the exit of the Student Cafeteria, then, when bathed in the sunlight from outside windows, readjusted his direction and headed towards a certain position.

Lin Yi’s eyes sparkled, he exclaimed in admiration.

’Liangzi is moving through a zone ’hit by either sunlight or incandescent light’!"

However, it was strange. Lin Yi pondered, and as he formulated this condition, it felt oddly familiar, as if he had encountered it somewhere before...

Could it be... the Art Building Rules?

Lin Yi scratched his head as various rules scrolled through his mind, finally alighting on one!

Indeed, the Art Building Rules did have a similar regulation—"When you are moving about in the castle, ensure that you are within the range of natural light or at least one candlestick’s light."

"Damn, does this apply here too?!"

"When searching for the Convenience Store, make sure you are within the range of natural light or at least one incandescent light’s illumination?"

"Even if it could apply, Liangzi said last time he visited, it was strictly linear exploration without checking other areas of the campus, how would he know this then?"

"Could it be just relying on ’Crafty Tricks’ intuition?"

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Ling Yi’s mind was entwined with mysteries, unable to grasp the scenario clearly, so he simply stopped overthinking and just followed Wei Liang.

Meanwhile, five green apron chefs clumsily emerged one after the other from the number 10 food service window.

The window was incredibly narrow, less than twenty centimeters wide, so each of them struggled tremendously to squeeze out, contorting their bodies and twisting like rubber figures.

Once on the ground, they hastened towards Lin Yi and the others, snapping back into shape near human form, and like fish swam through water, they moved swiftly through the darkness like phantoms.

Lin Yi sensed the distance between them, and his heart raced faster and faster.

He could hardly stop himself from urging Wei Liang to move faster to avoid being caught up by the green apron chefs, but seeing Wei Liang’s calm and composed pace, he suddenly held his tongue.

He chose to trust in Zhuge Wei Liang’s worthiness, but he couldn’t help and couldn’t stop sensing the presence of the green apron chefs...

The distance between them grew ever closer, closer...

At one point, he could even hear the weirdly laughing call of the green apron chefs at his ears and feel the intense wind of their fast-approaching presence. Cold sweat began to seep from his back, his fists tightened, and his upper body muscles tensed increasingly...

He wanted to counterattack.

Or rather, the idea of counterattacking burst forth from his subconscious.

But just then, Wei Liang suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no!"
