Deities Are All Just My Food
Chapter 1023 - 480: Luoyang Seven Towns, God’s Ruins Reopen!

Chapter 1023: Chapter 480: Luoyang Seven Towns, God’s Ruins Reopen!

The atmosphere in the cafeteria was oppressive and heavy.

Not only were He Zi’ang and Fang Mingyuan, the unsure candidates, worried, but even those who had performed well so far had anxious expressions on their faces.

After all, entering the Luoyang Seven Towns meant a significant increase in the risk of death.

Who could guarantee with absolute certainty that nothing unexpected would happen?

Sipping his porridge leisurely, Gu Qingqiu asked, "Small Fish, are you thinking of dropping out?"

"Ah?"

Hua Yue Yu, who had been daydreaming, was startled by the question and shook her head.

"Is it because of Bai Ci?"

Gu Qingqiu teased.

"Yes!"

With Gu Qingqiu’s intelligence, it was clear that Hua Yue Yu had no need to hide anything.

"I know you like to be a broadcaster, and you’re not interested in exploring the Divine Ruins; it’s purely to be by Lin Baici’s side, which isn’t worth it!"

Gu Qingqiu persuaded, "You should know that with Lin Baici’s looks and capabilities, he certainly doesn’t lack women chasing after him. Even if you stay by his side, it won’t significantly increase his affection for you!"

"But as long as we’re together, there’s a chance, right?"

Hua Yue Yu gave a bitter smile, "Besides, I don’t like broadcasting. What I really like is money. If I were financially independent, I’d stop broadcasting as soon as I make two hundred a day. No one could make me broadcast a minute longer."

"Even the top broadcaster couldn’t!"

"You still have one night to think it over!"

Gu Qingqiu considered Hua Yue Yu a friend, which is why he gave her this piece of advice. She really wasn’t cut out for this line of work and, frankly speaking, being a Little Merperson was more of a burden to the team.

Not as much as Kim Myungjin.

"Hopefully, this time we’ll pick a few good teammates!"

Gu Qingqiu observed the candidates in the cafeteria.

The twins seemed quite calm; the little chubby girl wasn’t bad either, a bit greedy with food but bold enough to steal snacks in front of the examiners.

The tall smoker was also an option, though he smoked too fiercely.

In just over ten minutes, he’d gone through three cigarettes.

When the candidates were done eating, it was the examiners’ turn, although it was the same cafeteria, the richness of the dishes doubled.

"God Lin, come, I propose a toast to you!"

Lin Baici became the center of attention, as many people surrounded him to offer him drinks.

The first town was very simple, so everyone was completely at ease,

Keep the party going!

However, Pan Yunxiang wouldn’t tolerate such behavior. At eight o’clock sharp, he arrived in the cafeteria, "You have five minutes to eat, then go back to your dorms to sleep."

"If I see anyone hanging out outside by 8:30, I’ll strip them of their examiner status for tomorrow!"

Everyone gulped down the food in their bowls and scattered like birds and beasts.

Being an examiner was a pleasant job with subsidies, it broadened your horizons, and you could brag about it. If they had to go back and their colleagues asked how it felt inside the Luoyang Seven Towns, and they hadn’t even entered, that would be extremely embarrassing.

The night was gentle with moonlight, occasionally disrupted by the sound of insects, conveying tranquility and indifference. However, many candidates suffered from insomnia.

The next morning at 8 a.m., under the glowing dawn, the candidates gathered on the field.

There were already ten buses parked there.

Pan Yunxiang’s piercing gaze swept over these candidates, "Anyone who wants to drop out, stay here!"

"Once you start participating, you are not allowed to quit midway!"

A slight disturbance arose among the crowd.

"Get on the bus!"

Pan Yunxiang bellowed.

Gu Qingqiu glanced at Hua Yue Yu and walked towards the bus.

Hua Yue Yu clenched her teeth and looked toward Lin Baici, who was among the examiners.

Lin Baici was naturally paying attention to the two of them and shook his head as his eyes met Hua Yue Yu’s.

"I can also be your right-hand man!"

Suppressing her emotions, Hua Yue Yu quickly followed Gu Qingqiu, "I can shout 666 louder than anyone else!"

Little Fatty handed a lollipop to Fang Mingyuan on her right, "Goodbye!"

Fang Mingyuan held the lollipop, hesitated for a few seconds, then chased after her.

I can’t be inferior to a girl.

"Damn it, a man’s death is as light as a feather, but immortal for ten thousand years!"

Fang Mingyuan pumped himself up, "Once I get the license, the sea will be vast for the fish to leap, the sky high for the birds to soar!"

The candidates moved and started boarding the bus.

"Captain Pan is so cunning!"

Liu Langqing muttered softly.

"Ah? Cunning?"

Xia Hongyao was puzzled, "How can you tell?"

"Would you like to be seen as a coward in front of everyone?"

Liu Langqing countered.

Most people care about face.

Every candidate stepping onto the bus was like a slap in the face to those who stayed behind.

Those who were initially hesitating were spurred by this, and surely many chose to enter Luoyang Seven Towns.

Soon, only about thirty people were left on the exam site!

They hung their heads, but they could still feel many candidates watching them through the bus windows.

This made their faces flush and hearts race with embarrassment.

"Tian Tian?"

Tan Yang asked quietly.

"I’m not going!"

Gu Tian Tian’s reply was firm, "I don’t want to die!"

Tan Yang felt a pang of discomfort.

Pan Yunxiang checked his watch, "One minute left until the deadline!"

Tan Yang cared about his reputation, but he was also afraid of dying, tormented to the core.

"Time’s up, let’s go!"

Pan Yunxiang announced.

Boom! Boom!

With the engines starting, Tan Yang felt somewhat relieved.

"Get back to the dorm and stay there, no running around!"

Li Bo scolded, feeling even more distressed because, due to poor performance, he and another examiner surnamed Sun had to stay behind to guard the camp.

The bus drove two miles before suddenly a huge stadium-like building with tall walls appeared, blocking all outside view.

The bus entered and drove about fifty or sixty meters before stopping in a small plaza.

The candidates got off and followed the examiners through a corridor to a massive stone gate resembling an ancient city gate.

Zhang Hao and Xie Yangchun pushed open a crack in the stone gate and then stood aside, opening a backpack.

"This is Luoyang Seven Towns!"

Pan Yunxiang explained, "I will give each of you a magnet. In case of danger, crush it, and the nearby examiners will know and come to rescue you!"

Zhang Hao took out a magnet from the backpack and showed it to everyone.

It was slightly larger than a one-yuan coin, made from some kind of stone.

"But using the magnet means giving up your right to continue!"

The candidates, who had been relieved to hear someone would come to their rescue and felt their lives were secure, were troubled by the word ’forfeit.’

"Examiners first!"

Pan Yunxiang instructed.

Yuan Jifeng unhesitatingly took the first step, got a palm-sized magnetic compass from Xie Yangchun, and entered the stone gate.

"God Lin, after you!"

Deng Mingyu looked at Lin Baici, with a deliberately provoking tone to irritate Shen Nan and pit him against Lin Baici.

Everyone looked over, those with high emotional intelligence guessed Deng Mingyu’s ploy, but most lacked such insights and simply thought that Lin Baici’s performance warranted Deng Mingyu’s respect.

But why hadn’t Lin Baici moved?

Or spoken?

"What’s wrong?"

Aunt Da pushed Lin Baici, "What are you daydreaming about at this time?"

Lin Baici came to his senses, smiled, and headed for the gate.

But inside, his mind was in turmoil!

Because upon reaching this gate, he suddenly felt an intense hunger.

This meant that inside these Divine Ruins, there were definitely some extremely rare Taboo things.

Perhaps even God’s Bones!

Should he try to get his hands on them?
