Chapter 414 First Battle, Food Wars! (Thanks to Alliance Leader Ye Xiao Shi 1)

The bus departed at seven o'clock and arrived at the research and study base three and a half hours later, a total distance of 243 kilometers.

Although it was another province, it was adjacent and quite close, so it didn't take too long.

The other two schools were far enough away, with a bus ride of almost ten hours in total.

However, their research and study trip was four days and three nights, with a stop in between to rest and enjoy another city, so it wasn't a continuous bus ride and wasn't too bad.

Because Eleventh High and Fourth High were in the same district and departed at about the same time, the two schools arrived almost one after the other.

After lining up in the huge parking area of the research and study base and announcing various precautions, they went to their respective dormitory buildings.

To make a clear distinction, the dormitory buildings for Eleventh High and Fourth High were in completely opposite sections.

This created a particularly spectacular scene.

Each school, with over a thousand students, crossed paths as they headed to their respective dormitory areas.

Two long lines walked towards each other, going in opposite directions.

"Bae, I'll find you tonight."

"Okay, see you tonight~"

Then, those who had friends in the neighboring school greeted each other happily when they met.

Chen Yuan also encountered someone.

"Hi." Shi Yi raised her hand to greet Chen Yuan and Zhou Fu as they passed each other.

"Hello, where's Wen Xin?" Zhou Fu asked curiously.

"In the class behind us," Shi Yi explained, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Okay, I'll find you later," Chen Yuan said.

"Okay, see you later," Shi Yi said.

Then, the lines continued to cross paths.

Class One passed, then Class Two.

No one he knew.

Class Two passed, then Class Three.

And it was here that the girl appeared.

With long hair and a wine-red ribbon, she was cute and beautiful, like a little elf.

"Oh~"

"Hehehe."

"Chen Yuan, turn right!"

The class started teasing him.

The situation was almost the same on Xin Yu's side.

"Xin Yu, look who's here?"

"Just go over there, it's not like you haven't done it before."

"Yeah, your heart's already flown away."

The two of them looked at each other.

It was Xia Xin Yu who felt embarrassed.

It was also Xia Xin Yu who felt a little happy.

And just when the two of them were closest, Chen Yuan suddenly reached out his hand.

Xia Xin Yu was startled, but she wouldn't let Chen Yuan's gesture fall flat, so even though she knew it would cause a big stir, she reached out her hand.

Their palms brushed against each other, gently touching...

Immediately, there was a burst of cheers.

From both Class Eighteen and Class Three.

"Ugh, you can see each other every day, and you still have to hold hands?" Yu Xin Yue complained with a sour look.

"It's..." Xia Xin Yu quickly showed the chocolate in her hand, and then explained with a red face, "He's giving me candy, it's not what you think."

"I know, you're giving us candy, aren't you?"

Yu Xin Yue continued to be sarcastic.

"Oh, no..."

Xia Xin Yu could only stubbornly speak under everyone's gazes and her friend's teasing, and then shyly became like a young maiden.

"Awesome, Yuan Shen, you just held hands in public."

"Really strong, worthy of being a role model for us."

"It has to be you."

And Chen Yuan, on the other hand, was feeling elated and smug under everyone's praise.

It wasn't until Old Mo glanced back at him that he lowered his head and whispered, "Don't make a fuss, brothers, just a pure friendship."

"The most quiet and reserved Xin Yu is actually with you, fate is really interesting," Zhou Fu couldn't help but sigh.

Heh, Xin Yu isn't quiet.

You don't know how passionate she is in the bathtub.

She helped me with one-on-one tutoring so seriously.

She directly guided me on two basic points.

"Yeah, I didn't expect her to confess to me either," Chen Yuan said.

To this, Zhou Fu showed a disdainful expression, and said coldly, "You can lie to Mom, but don't lie to yourself."

That Zhou Fu is really arrogant.

Is she really not afraid of her filial piety turning bad?

And so, everyone went to the dormitory building.

Unlike military training, this time everyone lived quite well, in four-person rooms with independent toilets and bunk beds.

Chen Yuan, Zhou Yu, Tang Jian, and Zhang Chao, four guys in their twenties, were in the same room.

As soon as they entered, everyone started shaking out their backpacks.

Chen Yuan's was a bunch of snacks, half of which were brought by Zhou Fu for him to share with his classmates...

No, that's not quite right.

Zhou Yu's were some vacuum-packed snacks to go with alcohol, such as duck necks, duck wings, duck legs, and strangely flavored peanuts, and so on.

Zhang Chao's were snacks, drinks, *San Guo Sha* (Three Kingdoms Kill card game), playing cards, and a Switch.

Finally, it was the rich kid Tang Jian's turn.

Ever since everyone knew that this guy's family was rich, they had even higher expectations for him.

He also knew that he was awesome, so he was the last to open his backpack.

He unzipped it, slowly reached in, and Tang Jian took out a bottle of champagne...

"Holy crap, Director Tang!"

Zhou Yu exclaimed in surprise.

"Minister? Who said that? Don't talk nonsense."

Tang Jian took out the wine, then stuffed it back into his backpack, and said, "I don't know if they'll be checking the dorms, if they find it, they'll definitely confiscate it, so we have to be low-key. We can't tell Liu Yan and Zhu Zihao."

After he finished speaking, Zhou Yu and Chen Yuan directly wrapped Zhang Chao between them, with their arms around his shoulders.

"It's okay, we have people in the imperial court," Zhou Yu said with a grin.

"..." Zhang Chao covered his face with one hand and whispered, "Just don't be too arrogant..."

"Okay, he said that even if you screw up the sky, he, the class monitor, will take responsibility, so do whatever you want," Chen Yuan said.

"That's enough for me."

After speaking, Tang Jian took out an electric hot pot from his suitcase.

"Don't cause a power outage, if they find out it's us..." Zhang Chao became anxious, even swearing for once.

Then, Tang Jian took out a black thing with his other hand: "A transformer."

"Sigh..."

Zhang Chao sighed.

He was defeated by these old pranksters; they just had to do what was forbidden.

"This is going to be great, I can't even imagine how happy tonight will be," Zhou Yu said with an expectant expression.

"Besides this, is there anything else you want to do?" Tang Jian suddenly said with a serious face.

"What?" Zhou Yu asked, confused.

"Hunt women," Tang Jian said.

Hearing these four words, Zhou Yu and Chen Yuan quickly waved their hands, refusing very decisively, with expressions of 'absolutely not'.

"Aren't you doing pretty well with Qiu Meng? Why are you looking for someone else?" Zhang Chao asked, puzzled.

"Qiu Meng is a... good person, but she's clearly not suitable for me."

"Cut it out, who can stand your flirting besides Qiu Meng?" Zhou Yu complained, "Or ask Chaozi."

"Ask me?" Zhang Chao was stunned.

Then, the three of them moved the stools under their butts, directly surrounding Zhang Chao.

"He Meng is really good, beautiful, smart, and knows how to behave," Chen Yuan said.

"...Even if that's the case, she has to like me, right?" Zhang Chao said awkwardly.

"So you like her?" Zhou Yu asked.

"...That's not true," Zhang Chao didn't accept forced matchmaking.

"Then what about the other girls in the class?" Chen Yuan asked.

"There are only three good-looking girls in the class, Tang Siwen, Zhou Fu, and He Meng, and two of them are yours, what are you talking about?" Zhou Yu said.

No, Jiao Jiao is also good-looking, and she's mine.

"What do you mean two of them are mine..."

When Chen Yuan retorted, he suddenly realized that these guys' eyes were very strange, so he asked, "You don't all think that, do you?"

Why are they all mine?

I haven't even kissed them, I'm being wronged.

"I don't know about Tang Siwen," Zhang Chao honestly replied, "But in that group during the basketball game, besides me, basically everyone liked Zhou Fu."

"?" Chen Yuan was shocked.

"Also, besides me," Tang Jian also said after protecting himself, "But they're all afraid of offending you, so they don't really dare to pursue Zhou Fu, afraid that you'll mind."

Of course I mind.

What are you all thinking about someone else's mom!

Wait, why am I starting too?

"Zhou Fu is that charming?" Chen Yuan asked, quite surprised.

"She's beautiful, has a good figure, is a rich woman, and her personality isn't that of a fairy, what do you think?" Tang Jian asked rhetorically.

Indeed, to some extent, Zhou Fu's audience is wider than Xin Yu's.

After all, my Fu is so big, no need to say more.

"You can still say something about Zhou Fu, but Tang Siwen is really just passing the buck, if you don't dare to pursue her, just say so, what does it have to do with me?" Chen Yuan complained.

Hearing this, everyone admitted it.

"So Chaozi, this time the plan is to match you up with He Meng."

Chen Yuan put his hand on Zhang Chao's shoulder and said earnestly.

"Don't mess around," Zhang Chao immediately refused, "Don't think about creating some class cadre couple, it's completely impossible."

"Yes, we should look further ahead," Tang Jian said, "Let's go hunt the girls from Changjun and Hengzhong."

"Okay, then the goal is to help Chaozi get a girlfriend who's a academic," Chen Yuan decided.

And with that, Tang Jian directly pulled out Zhang Chao's hand, and the four of them stacked their hands like a hamburger, then slammed them down together.

"Sigh, I'm defeated by you guys..."

While sighing, Zhang Chao looked at his phone, and then, at just that moment, the person in charge, Sister Na, sent an @ everyone message.

Huang Na @all: Kids, come out and cook~

At a certain place on the large playground of the research and study base, there were dozens of large tents and five hundred stoves.

In groups of ten, everyone formed cooking teams to prepare their respective lunches.

In Chen Yuan's group were Chen Yuan and his three roommates, plus He Si Jiao, Tang Siwen, Zhou Fu, and Li Youyou, as well as Zhu Zihao and Liu Yan.

The thought of those two coveting Zhou Fu's beauty made Chen Yuan feel a little uneasy.

"But where are the vegetables? The firewood? The meat?" He Si Jiao was very puzzled. There was nothing here, so they couldn't start.

The others thought the same thing.

At this time, Sister Nana began to explain to the students of Class Eighteen in this tent: "This is the specialty of our research and study base, complete self-reliance. Here, besides cooking utensils and seasonings, everything else is in this base, and you need to find it yourselves, including firewood."

""Huh?""

Hearing this, everyone was basically dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Are we supposed to steal?

"Don't worry, there are vegetable gardens in this base to pick vegetables, a back mountain where you can find firewood, and a fish pond where you can fish. Basically, you can be self-sufficient," Huang Na said with a smile.

"What about the meat? We want to eat meat!" one of the boys protested loudly.

Then there was a burst of laughter in the class.

"As for meat, each group will have one piece, about half a kilogram of pork belly," Huang Na explained.

"How is half a kilogram enough?"

"Fifty grams per person, that's not enough."

"We can't do without meat..."

Just when everyone was chattering, Huang Na suddenly got angry: "This research and study isn't about living like young masters. Now go find the ingredients, if you go late, there won't be anything left, hurry up!"

These words directly silenced the people in the class who were laughing and joking.

Then, they quickly dispersed and took action.

In Chen Yuan's group, everyone also gathered around and started brainstorming.

"Who lives like a young master at home?" Chen Yuan asked.

As a result, everyone unanimously looked at Tang Jian.

The girls, on the other hand, looked at Zhou Fu.

"Okay, let me rephrase, who doesn't live like a young master?"

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, everyone began to raise their hands enthusiastically, volunteering.

"What are you trying to say?" Zhang Chao asked.

"Cooking requires someone to coordinate and everyone to execute. And this person should be someone who has cooked before, someone who cooks often."

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, everyone shook their heads.

At this time, he revealed his true colors and volunteered, "It just so happens that I live in a rented house and cook often. And my girlfriend is also a little chef."

"You do it, then," Liu Yan said.

"Okay, then I'll start making arrangements."

After Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, he said, "Fishing requires one person, who's going?"

"Me." Zhu Zihao directly raised his hand, "I'm proficient in internet fishing and impersonation."

"Then it's you." Then, Chen Yuan continued to arrange, "Fetching water requires someone strong, will Liu Yan do?"

"These pots and pans need to be washed, Tang Siwen, Zhou Fu."

"Okay."

"He Si Jiao, cook rice in a clay pot."

"Okay."

"Tang Jian, Zhou Yu, collect firewood. Zhang Chao, Li Youyou, pick vegetables."

Everyone was arranged like this.

Then, Liu Yan curiously looked at Chen Yuan: "Everyone has something to do, what about you?"

Everyone was also curious because everything seemed to be arranged.

And Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said, "One piece of meat isn't enough. There's a certain possibility that we won't be able to catch any fish, so let's not count on that for now. So, Daddy is going to hunt for you."

On the playground, the four principals and the leaders of the research and study base stood together, watching the students who went to catch the free-range chickens, very interested.

"Can you really catch these chickens?" Zhang Jianjun asked curiously.

"Anything in the base can be used as ingredients, it just depends on whether they have the ability."

Speaking of this, the short and fat leader couldn't help but laugh: "But these city kids, have they ever caught free-range chickens? Don't even think about it, just wasting their time, hahaha."

And after he finished speaking, Chen Yuan in everyone's sight, was holding a stone in his hand.

Raise his hand, gather his strength, time stop.

Then, at the moment when all the chickens were frozen, he released the time stop at the moment when the stone with a speed of 150 kilometers per hour was thrown out!

In front of all the leaders, a hen was shot dead in public, its head was smashed...
