I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 36, 1.2-17: The Secret Mansion and Miss Lily's Toy House (New Year Special Chapter: Part 1)
"Today there's a special Lunar New Year program from the Food Kingdom. Miss Lily, haven't you been looking forward to it?" Mu Yegui took a few steps forward, blocking the Model Forest, and asked.

"I remember now! I really want to see it! It's once a year!" Miss Lily suddenly remembered; she had completely forgotten about it. After all, the Fairy Tale Kingdom doesn't actually celebrate the New Year; only the Food Kingdom and Entertainment Kingdom have truly grand celebrations, especially since they sometimes even have collaborations!
"Then let's go." Mu Yegui casually tucked the model of Fei from the forest into his waistband and put his arm through the straps to prevent him from falling off.

Miss Lily took a step forward and inadvertently witnessed someone casually taking her doll away. She couldn't help but say, "This is my doll..."

"Give it to me." This statement was made with such self-righteousness and blatant robbery, giving Miss Lily absolutely no chance to back out.

Miss Lily: "..."

In the end, Miss Lily still failed to get her doll back. No matter how short Mu Yegui was, he was still taller than this little girl who was only eight years old.

salon.

"Ifa, hurry up and change the channel!" Miss Lily said anxiously, standing on tiptoe.

"It will start in five minutes, Miss Lily, please sit on the sofa."

This is called an LCD TV, similar to the interstellar display, but this thing requires electricity, while the interstellar display only needs to be connected to a transistor to function, and it's even a holographic screen.

Switching to the Lunar New Year special edition, the first thing you see is a woman wearing a red cheongsam.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin, a special reporter from Entertainment Kingdom. We're currently in Chinatown, Food Kingdom, where a special Lunar New Year competition is being held. Come along with me!"

"There are eight contestants in total. From left to right, their names are Leo, He Shi, Cui Zhuang, Dong Xinghe, Li Tesi, Felicaya, Moya, and Ling Tong. Just between you and me, I'm a fan of Ling Tong. Wearing traditional Chinese clothing and a mask is incredibly charming; that unique vibe is truly captivating. That's what makes a man handsome! Who cares about looks? What you can't see is what's best! Why doesn't our entertainment kingdom have artists like him?! Ahem, sorry, I got a little carried away and startled everyone."

"Lin always gets so caught up in her own thoughts," Miss Lily pouted, clearly familiar with the reporter on TV.

The theme of the food kingdom is nothing more than cooking, but instead of using existing ingredients, it involves finding the ingredients you need yourself.

"This time the theme is blessings. There are no restrictions on materials, but they must be found in the forest behind us. By the way, the animals in the kingdom are always a bit crazy, so be careful! I wonder how many of them will actually make it out of the forest this time."

Lin's expression was gloating. It was obvious that her intention was to make the players suffer more so that the ratings would be higher. The show was made for the kingdom's residents, and the players were just toys to them.

In the King's Game, all the native inhabitants are hostile to the player and even want to kill them in various ways, and this time will be no exception.

"Efa Channel 8!" Each contestant has their own dedicated viewing channel based on their number; number 8 is Ling Tong's number.

After switching the channel to number eight, Ling Tong was seen walking towards the forest. He encountered other players along the way, but he ignored them all. His terrifying black mask blocked all prying eyes and refused to let anyone get close, and he himself remained silent from beginning to end.

"I feel like I'm watching a silent program, let's change the channel." Miss Lily picked up the remote to change the channel, but Mu Yegui stopped her with one hand. Mu Yegui took back the remote, her purpose was clear: she wanted to see Ling Tong, but she refused to say a word, just like Ling Tong on TV.

Both of them seem to be rather taciturn. Mu Yegui usually tries not to speak unless necessary, but he won't hold back when it's necessary.

Ling Tong first arrived at a clear stream and pulled a strange-looking fish from it with her bare hands. This fish seemed to be very rare and delicious in the kingdom, but cooking it required special herbs to remove its fishy smell. Otherwise, the resulting soup would be incredibly foul and inedible.

"A food program..." Mu Yegui murmured to himself as he watched this.

Mu Yegui wasn't a foodie; her only requirement for food was whether it would fill her up. That was the most important thing to her. As for the taste and texture... well, sorry, she didn't even have a sense of taste and couldn't tell the difference.

Initially, she was hungry, but after eating the food that Miss Lily and the others were given in this instance, she found herself gradually feeling full. Although it didn't satisfy her, at least she wasn't starving.

Because he had replenished his food and no longer felt hungry, Mu Yin's initial irritability gradually disappeared. This is why Mu Yin wasn't particularly angry after hearing Miss Lily's words yesterday.

As long as Mu Yin doesn't feel hungry, his tolerance level is quite high, provided he doesn't do anything reckless.

"The special thing about the Food Kingdom program is the cooking competition! My favorite part is the hunting segment. Every time, you can hear the contestants howling and screaming, which is really pleasant to hear!" Miss Lily said to Mu Yegui excitedly.

Miss Lily was inherently bloodthirsty and cruel, but she dared not show it in front of Mu Yegui, because he would retaliate with violence. To be honest, Miss Lily was terrified from the very first day. She avoided Mu Yegui in everything she did, fearing he would discover her.

"The contestants have all returned with their prey. Now we'll select one audience member to design the dishes for the contestants," Lin said with a wink and a smile, glancing at the camera.

Miss Lily watched Lin pick up the phone on TV, ready to dial a number, and said nervously, "I wonder if we'll be chosen!! I had Ifa send a hundred letters yesterday!"

Then all I heard was a 'ring ring' sound, and the phone next to me rang.

"This is the number from the Secret Mansion of the Fairy Tale Kingdom. I wonder what kind of challenges the contestants will face!" Lin said slowly on the screen.

"Ahhhh! I won! I won! I won! I'm so happy!! I want to recite the menu!" Miss Lily rolled around on the sofa several times while hugging a cushion, but by the time she came to her senses, Mu Yegui had already answered the phone.

Mu Yegui held the microphone to his ear expressionlessly and said in a particularly cold and ruthless but actually serious tone, "Hello, Secret Mansion, speak quickly if you have something to say. Otherwise, I'm hanging up."

Miss Lily: "..."
