Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

The system panel is displaying information about the hidden dungeon in the cafeteria.

[Hidden Dungeon in the Dining Hall - Eternal Feast Garden]

You can eat all kinds of delicious food here, and of course, it might also become the food on your dining table.

[Regional Feature 1 - Join the Feast (Added after the Second Full Moon): The restoration of the Eternal Feast Garden has been deepened. Currently, all regional dining halls will lead to the Eternal Feast Garden. Let's join this endless feast!]

[Regional Trait 2 - Insatiable Thirst: Upon entering the instance, you will feel an endless hunger; the longer you stay, the more pronounced the symptoms will become.]

【Regional Feature 3 - The Curse of Picky Eating: Here, if someone offers you food, you must eat it. If you refuse, your "Never-Satisfied Hunger" will rapidly worsen. If you remain hungry for a long time, your sanity and maximum health will continuously decrease. After fasting for half an hour, you will become a "Hungry Ghost".】

[Regional Trait 4 - Curse of Gluttony: The food in the Garden of Eternal Feast has various effects, and your strength will be improved after you are full. But remember, do not eat too much. If you are too full, you will enter the 'Gluttony' state, completely controlled by your appetite, lose your rationality, and become a 'Gluttonous Beast'.]

【Regional Characteristic 5 - The Duality of Diner and Ingredient: Here, everything is both a diner and an ingredient】

[Regional Feature 6 - Golden Pot: Three chefs are passionately cooking in the Eternal Feast Garden. If you can defeat them, you will obtain the 'Golden Pot,' which can be used in conjunction with the 'Golden Spatula' to trigger a hidden easter egg!]

【Regional Feature 7 - Food Market: ■■】(Due to unknown factors, details will only be available after entering the instance)

【Regional Feature 8 - Gluttony Arena: ■■】(Due to unknown factors, details will only be available after entering the instance)

[Regional Characteristics 9...]

"If things go smoothly, not only can I resolve my issues within this instance, but I can also collect all three crown-themed easter eggs—killing two birds with one stone!"

Xiao Yun's eyes gleamed with an air of determination.

"However, it is also very dangerous."

Ji Mingyu shook his head, his face full of worry:

"This instance looks like a rule-based instance, which is quite strange and a type never seen before. I wonder what variables will occur."

Jiang Shangzhen nodded and analyzed seriously:

"Moreover, this instance is a world instance. Within the entire world, you are definitely not the only one collecting the three crown easter eggs. There will definitely be all sorts of monsters and demons around."

"In this situation, the difficulty and danger of the instance are secondary; the real concern is other people causing trouble."

After listening to their analysis, Xiao Yun nodded and looked at Wang Tianyuan and Zhong Mo.

"What about you two? Do you have any thoughts?"

Wang Tianyuan chuckled and said:

"Brother Yun, you know I've never liked using my brain, but if you're going, my suggestion is to bring Fatty along; his stomach can hold a lot!"

As he spoke, he patted Zhong Mo's round belly.

"Huh? What?"

Zhong Mo looked up from the food, somewhat bewildered.

Perhaps it was the aura of gluttony emanating from Xiao Yun's [Gluttony Mouth] that made the food taste exceptionally delicious.

Xiao Yun smiled helplessly and waved his hand:

"It's okay, just eat."

After speaking, he looked at Ji Mingyu and Jiang Shangzhen:

"This instance is indeed very dangerous, and the large number of players entering will add a lot of variables, but in this chaotic situation, it is actually a good thing for me."

"I have the complete rules in my hands. While others are still adapting, I can get ahead of them and even induce others to help me navigate the minefield, which can actually reduce the difficulty."

"Furthermore, I think the negative effects of Gluttony's Mouth might actually be a good thing in this dungeon."

Ji Mingyu and Jiang Shangzhen exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

If they could, they really didn't want Xiao Yun to put himself in danger.

After all, after using the [Blood Pact of the Flame] to save those who had turned into Others, Xiao Yun was truly carrying the lives of more than ten thousand people on his shoulders.

If anything happens to him, the seemingly peaceful situation in the ideal state will collapse instantly!

The two remained silent for a long time, only sighing and saying nothing more.

Currently, this does seem to be the best approach.

Seeing that the two agreed, Xiao Yun nodded:

"Then it's settled. We'll take two more days to rest, and after the settlement is completed this week, we'll enter the [Eternal Feast Court]."

Everyone nodded, chatted for a few more minutes, then got up and left to make preparations.

After they left, Xiao Yun's face instantly darkened in the room.

He spoke so well just now, but in reality, he wasn't very confident.

The Garden of Eternal Feast could be his opportunity to break the curse on him, or it could trigger the full-blown eruption of the Gluttony's Maw.

Finally, just like in the dream, you will be completely consumed by the desire to eat, and even eat yourself!

"But even if I don't go, I will still die a slow death, heading towards that end..."

Xiao Yun suddenly chuckled softly, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes:

"Since fate cannot be changed, let's take a gamble!"

Xiao Yun forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart and shifted his attention to other things.

Forcibly elevating someone to the fifth rank, though costly, was not without its benefits.

The most obvious change is that [Creation Art - Beginner] has quietly transformed into [Creation Art - Advanced].

"Performing rituals on over ten thousand people simultaneously increased my skill proficiency, but... why don't I feel any improvement at all?"

Xiao Yun shook his empty mind, looking bewildered.

"It's probably because I ate too much, and the fat blocked my brain... Hmm, that must be it. I'll try it again after I recover. A skill with such an awesome name must be pretty good."

In addition to these direct improvements, there are also some hidden benefits.

Xiao Yun closed his eyes, recalling the feeling when he advanced to the fifth sequence.

It was as if the world was under his control, and everything changed according to his will!

"This effect wasn't achieved through pure power; it's more like... the ancient concept of the interaction between heaven and man, as described by the University of Tokyo, containing Mount Sumeru within a single vessel, or the sun and moon within a pot, or the concept of a 'miniature universe' in Western alchemy..."

Countless thoughts raced through Xiao Yun's mind.

After a long while, he shook his head and rubbed his aching temples.

"I'm only at the seventh sequence, my level is too low. Even if I rack my brains, I can only see the tip of the iceberg."

However, even with only a glimpse, Xiao Yun felt that he had grasped something.

"This thing that resembles a 'domain' might be an important condition for advancing to the fifth sequence... no, even the fourth sequence!"

"Although it's a very high level, if I can fully understand the [Creation Technique], and combine it with [Unlimited] and [True Understanding of All Things], I should be able to create a simplified version..."

Xiao Yun couldn't help but study it again, but soon his thoughts froze.

"This cursed state is still too restrictive. It seems that only after the curse is broken can we have the possibility of in-depth research and experimentation."

Xiao Yun sighed softly and decided to put aside his research for the time being.

I almost forgot to claim the ranking rewards for the full moon night.

Xiao Yun slapped his forehead and quickly brought up the system panel, finding the ranking rewards pop-up.

A blood-red list appeared before my eyes, and a string of names flashed by.

Xiao Yun quickly browsed through the list and saw the names of many members of the Ideal Country.

"Old Ji, A Yuan's already in the top ten in the region! Not bad, looks like you've made quite a bit of progress. These three are keeping quiet, but they're actually the biggest winners!"

Xiao Yun sighed, but it wasn't surprising.

Although the Yellow-Clad Cleric did not leave behind a corpse, the special job change card Yellow-Clad Shepherd and various exclusive drops were still left behind and given to Ji Mingyu, who had a good match with him.

The same applies to the drops from the [Sky-Splitting Vulture]; they were all given to Wang Tianyuan.

Furthermore, in order to allow the two to accumulate enough points for advancement, most of the resources that Ideal Country obtained during the full moon night were allocated to the two of them, so it is not surprising that they were able to reach the top ten in the region.

Others also reaped considerable rewards. Xiao Yun glanced at the rankings and found that more than a third of the top 10,000 players in the region were from Ideal Country, even more than the two giants, Worry-Free Country and Eternal Empire!

In no time, the Ideal Kingdom Guild became famous throughout the ancient city area, and many people were speculating whether this dark horse that suddenly emerged would break the current two-way power struggle in the region.

"Worry-Free Land is fine, but the Eternal Empire is probably about to make a move."

Xiao Yun's heart sank slightly.

"With the resources gained on the night of the full moon, that person in the Eternal Empire might actually succeed in advancing to the sixth rank! Although the Tiger Legion is still under our control, we cannot let our guard down..."

"And what's more, the number one spot on the leaderboard is actually held by the guild leader of Wuyou Village!"

Although he was anonymous, Xiao Yun immediately guessed it was him.

"He must have killed that overlord-level monster to get such a high ranking!"

"With the first kill of a top-tier monster and ranking first on the night of the full moon, his strength will quickly rise to an unbelievable level..."

Everyone else is making progress, but I'm still plagued by this curse, essentially a useless person.

The anxiety that had been so hard to suppress surged up again. Xiao Yun swayed his body, wishing he could go to the Eternal Feast Court right now to break his curse and find an opportunity to advance.

"Calm down, calm down, let's look at my second-ranked reward first."

Xiao Yun took a deep breath and clicked to claim.

The next second, a golden light blinded him.
