Chapter 255: Dracula Factory 3
She had a beautiful thought, but silver was not so easy to collect. In the strictly controlled factory, even the workers’ every move was under the Administrator’s surveillance. Cao Shufen had been in the factory for three weeks, and only today did she learn that silver was contraband, so the possibility of finding silver was almost zero.
The rest of the work went smoothly.
At six in the evening, they could finally rest.
Each production workshop had a dedicated Administrator, and they were led by the Administrator to the Cafeteria. Before even entering, they smelled the rich aroma of food inside.
“You’re really lucky today; you just arrived and encountered a matchmaking event.”
Cao Shufen couldn’t help but inhale a few more breaths of the food’s aroma, quickening her steps.
“Aunt Cao, what matchmaking event?”
Chu Yian caught up and asked curiously, then saw that the Cafeteria, which could accommodate at least several hundred people, had been decorated in pink, with flowers placed all around. Workers in identical uniforms were gathered, chatting and laughing.
“A matchmaking event is exactly what it sounds like. It’s an opportunity provided by the factory to find a partner. Anyone who successfully pairs up at the matchmaking event can register with the Administrator. The factory will give the couple five days of vacation, and if the woman becomes pregnant, various rewards will be given.”
Cao Shufen also had someone she liked here. She tidied herself up a bit, then walked into the crowd.
Soon, a man about her age held her hand.
Chu Yian was bewildered by this sudden matchmaking show, but she quickly adapted, grabbing a tray and looking at every serving station.
Just then, a young man picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it on her tray. “The roast lamb chops here are delicious.”
Delicious is delicious, but you used your own chopsticks to pick it up and put it in my bowl.
Chu Yian looked up at him suspiciously. That’s not hygienic.
“You’re so cute.”
The man showed what he thought was a handsome smile. “May I know your name? We can have the whole evening to get to know each other.”
Chu Yian looked at the pink heart decorations around her and suddenly realized that the person in front of her seemed to be hitting on her. She paused for a moment, then returned the meat on her plate to him. “I’m sorry.”
She refused one, but unexpectedly, a second and a third appeared.
Chu Yian witnessed the power of the matchmaking event. After continuously rejecting several members of the opposite sex, she hugged her tray, wanting to find a place where she wouldn’t be disturbed to eat in peace.
Who knew that the more secluded the place, the more people there were, and all of them were in pairs, behaving extremely boldly.
Chu Yian again stumbled upon a couple with their clothes almost off, embracing and kissing, and she returned to the main hall, red-faced, hugging her tray. A television was hung on the Cafeteria wall, and even the program playing on it was a romance movie. Everyone else was busy dating, and she was the only one holding her rice bowl, watching TV.
Her clearly beautiful face had the expression of a complete idiot.
The surveillance cameras had quietly focused on her, and the Administrator was currently making a record.
“Another target with low reproductive desire has been found in Cafeteria No. 11.”
“Mark it.”
“Number 258897. If there’s no reproductive desire within a week, proceed directly with gene cloning.”
Chu Yian, who was gnawing on a chicken leg in the Cafeteria, naturally couldn’t hear these words. She was still confused by the sappy love story on TV. The female protagonist was about to give birth, why weren’t the male protagonist and his family rushing her to the Hospital, instead of shouting ‘Go, go, go!’?
Falling in love must have made them lose their minds.
Just as she was complaining about the idiotic plot on TV, a familiar, slightly flirtatious voice came from behind her. “Little Chu Chu~”
Hearing that voice, Chu Yian couldn’t help but shiver.
Bai Sinian!
When she saw who it was, her body immediately tensed.
The newcomer’s eyes lit up, and he stretched out his arms towards her. “Just from your back, I felt it was Little Chu Chu. It’s been so long, your Brother Bai has missed you terribly.”
She was actually paired with Bai Sinian again.
Chu Yian looked at him warily. “What do you want?”
“Just catching up with Little Chu Chu.”
Bai Sinian sat directly beside her, even intimately leaning his thigh against hers. “It’s a matchmaking event now, isn’t it? Little Chu Chu isn’t with other smelly men, are you waiting for Brother Bai?”
Chu Yian knew clearly that Bai Sinian was ruthless with his hands and wild with his words.
In the current situation, a fight was impossible, so she simply spoke to drive him away. “If you have something to say, spit it out. You’re delaying my dinner.”
“Little Chu Chu is so heartless, truly the woman who shot Brother Bai in the head.”
Bai Sinian said with a smile, as if the person Chu Yian shot in the head last time wasn’t him. “I’m planning to escape tonight and need some teammates. Want to join?”
Chu Yian looked at him with suspicion. “Us allied? Us?”
Had he lost his mind?
“Little Chu Chu, there are no eternal friends, and no eternal enemies.”
Bai Sinian turned his face to look at her, his narrow eyes showing a serious expression. “Brother Bai has the latest news. If we team up, we might even be among the first hundred players to escape.”
Hearing the word ‘news,’ Chu Yian’s hand, which was eating, paused.
Bai Sinian’s game item could control NPCs, so he might indeed know things from the Administrator that ordinary players didn’t.
Chu Yian: “What news? Tell me.”
Bai Sinian: “The mysterious creature in this round of the game is a bit like the anomaly from the last round.”
Chu Yian: “Can’t be killed?”
“Hmm… you could say that.”
Bai Sinian answered vaguely. “I can only tell Little Chu Chu that all exits of this factory are sealed. Only between 10 PM and 12 AM will there be a vehicle bringing in new survivors, and that’s our chance to escape. As for more details, that depends on Little Chu Chu’s sincerity.”
“What sincerity?” Chu Yian asked.
“Of course, it’s the sincerity of cooperating with me. Brother Bai guarantees to get you out of this round of the game, but in exchange, Little Chu Chu needs to take out your spatial item for a bit.”
“Why?”
“To make a weapon for your Brother Bai.”
“You want to get something for nothing, huh?”
Chu Yian rolled her eyes at him. “Impossible.”
“Alright.”
Bai Sinian was a little regretful, yet it seemed within his expectations. “However, we’ll depart at 11 PM tonight, heading north from the Cafeteria. If Little Chu Chu wants to find me, remember to be at Production Room No. 466 before 11:30. Watch out for the Administrators around; they’re not ordinary people.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Chu Yian’s tray and picked up the largest piece of meat from her plate, putting it into his own bowl.
“You’re already plump, and you’re still eating so much. Aren’t you afraid your double chin will turn into a triple chin?”
“You’re the one with a triple chin.”
Chu Yian looked at the meat that was now in his bowl and decided she didn’t want it anymore.
She held her rice bowl and moved away from him.
