Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

"Oh? There's a must-eat list?"

The group's eyes lit up, and they all became interested.

Xiao Yun turned his head slightly and met Ji Mingyu's gaze silently; both of them saw the wariness in each other's eyes.

As the saying goes, "Those who offer unsolicited favors are either treacherous or thieves."

Resources in the dungeon are limited. Players are already sharing strategies as soon as you enter. Is it really that good?

Seemingly sensing their doubts, the man's eyes darted around, and he chuckled:

"There's no need to be so nervous. I'll get some benefits from recommending hotels to you."

"You're new to the instance, so you don't know yet. My name is 'Food Supervisor,' which is a profession that players spontaneously formed after the opening of the Eternal Feast Court."

Xiao Yun raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing, and a thought began to form in his mind:

"Food-based challenge? The system information said that the Eternal Feast Court was full of food, and all you had to do was eat. How come there's this strange profession now? Did the players come up with some kind of trick after entering?"

Then, Xiao Yunchong and Ji Mingyu exchanged a wink.

The latter readily understood and nodded to the man with a smile:

"I see, thank you for your guidance, brother."

Ji Mingyu paused, then took out a piece of meat from a King-level wild monster and quietly slipped it into the man's hand.

"Brother, this is just a small gift, nothing to show our respect. We didn't know anything about this instance and accidentally wandered in. We're new here and don't understand anything. Please explain it to us."

The man looked at the heavy piece of meat in his hand, and a sharp glint flashed in his fish-like eyes.

"King-level flesh and blood! High-grade ingredients! These guys are no ordinary people; are they an elite exploration team from some major guild?"

However, looking at the fleshy mass that almost filled half of his vision, the man dismissed his guess:

"It shouldn't be an exploration team. Even top-tier experts wouldn't bring a pig along on an exploration trip, let alone an ordinary pig that isn't even a professional."

Moreover, after observing the man discreetly for a while, he discovered that the fat man in front of him was actually at the core of the entire group.

The man suddenly realized:

"Case solved! This fat guy is probably the second-generation heir of some big guild. No wonder these people are so young and carrying top-tier materials, they're just guards accompanying the young master on his outing."

A glint of light flashed in the man's eyes, and his face instantly broke into a wide smile:

"Haha, no problem, no problem. We're all from Dongda University, it's only right that we help each other."

"My name is Wang Shuai. I've been in this dungeon for almost a week now. Although my progress in clearing the dungeon can't keep up with the pros, I'm very familiar with every aspect of it."

Ji Mingyu showed his admiration at the right moment and handed over a small piece of flesh.

Wang Shuai accepted the item discreetly while introducing it:

"According to some veteran players who entered the dungeon a long time ago, before the second full moon, the Eternal Feast Court was not like this. It was like a food street, with food everywhere, and you just ate and that was it."

"But after the second full moon, this instance became more revitalized and more difficult to complete."

Wang Shuai pointed to the dazzling array of signs on the street and said:

"Just like these restaurants, they appeared after the game was revived and the story deepened. There are many intricacies involved."

"You guys are lucky to have met me. If I hadn't guided you, you would have been finished at the shop selection stage."

Everyone looked shocked at that moment, and Ji Mingyu quickly handed over two small pieces of meat:

"I hope Brother Wang can explain this clearly."

Wang Shuai nodded happily and began to explain.

With Wang Shuai's explanation, everyone understood the intricacies of the matter.

It turns out that the food in the Eternal Banquet Garden is now not only divided into different categories, but also into different grades.

Each restaurant has its own signature dishes, and they are divided into different star ratings. Only in high-star restaurants can you eat high-end food.

The strategy involves challenging various restaurants and gradually becoming the highest-level "diner".

It seems that all shops can be freely chosen, and you can even directly choose the most luxurious 7-star restaurant - [Yongyan Wangting].

However, if you choose a shop with an exceptionally high star rating, you might be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of high-end ingredients when you first enter the instance and haven't yet adapted.

"Therefore, I suggest you start by planning your itinerary for the lowest-rated restaurants, and it's best to choose some that offer lighter, more varied dishes."

After listening to Wang Shuai's suggestion, Ji Mingyu said "Oh" and asked:

"I understand a light diet, but why choose a diet with a variety of foods?"

Wang Shuai chuckled and said:

"The reason is simple: a shop's star rating is determined by the overall quality of the food it offers. In other words, shops with a wider variety of food have a lower difficulty level for each type of dish. And shops that specialize in just one type of food..."

Wang Shuai kept everyone in suspense, pointing to a restaurant called [Ichiran Ramen].

"Take this restaurant for example. Don't be fooled by its three-star rating; it only sells tonkotsu ramen. The actual difficulty level is higher than some four-star restaurants with a wider variety of food!"

Just then, the door of Ichiran Ramen suddenly opened, and a man who was as thin as a sugarcane but whose belly was swollen like a ball and was bigger than his whole body was thrown out.

The man rolled to the ground like a bag of garbage, then hurriedly got up and pleaded towards the half-open door:

"Please, please let me in! I can still eat, really, I can still... ugh!"

Before he could finish speaking, his face turned pale, and he vomited violently.

What's even more chilling is that when the man saw the vomit on the ground, he screamed, quickly picked it up, and stuffed it back into his stomach.

"How disgusting..."

Xiao Yun and the others frowned, covered their noses, and turned their heads away.

"Thank goodness I didn't bring Su Su and the others, this is just too disgusting..."

Xiao Yun inwardly grumbled and looked at Wang Shuai:

"This guy does know a lot, but he's also hiding a lot from us."

For example, he didn't mention the detailed rules for failing a challenge, or what the consequences would be for eating in a store without paying. He also didn't mention the system's talk of an infinitely growing appetite.

"Is it that they don't know, or are they... deliberately hiding it?"

Xiao Yun glanced at Wang Shuai without showing any emotion, and said impatiently:

"Stop talking so much, which restaurant is good to eat at? Just give me a straight answer, I'm getting hungry after talking for so long."

Looking at his arrogant demeanor, Wang Shuai's eyes flashed with a look of 'Just as I expected'.

Then, he chuckled and said:

"This young man is extraordinary, with an impressive aura; he's clearly a top-tier gourmet! Conquering the Eternal Banquet Court will be a breeze for him!"

Xiao Yun smiled smugly and patted his belly:

"Of course! I'm not all this muscle for nothing! Old Wang, lead the way, I'm going straight to that five-star restaurant!"

Wang Shuai felt ashamed, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

"As expected, he's a second-generation rich kid who knows nothing. He has no power of his own, yet he dares to challenge a five-star restaurant? He won't even know how he died."

If you want to eat the food of the Eternal Feast Court, it's not enough to just be able to eat. Without strength, you can't even eat the lowest-level food, and you might even get eaten by the food!

"Haha, young man, you're very generous. But good food is meant to be savored slowly. Come on, I'll take you to a restaurant I frequent. It's only one-star, so it's easy to find, but the taste is definitely no worse than any five-star restaurant back home!"

Just as Wang Shuai finished speaking, Xiao Yun's eyes lit up, and she grabbed his arm:

"What a hidden gem of a shop! What are we waiting for? Come on, Lao Wang, you lead the way, let's go try it!"

Hearing the cracking sound from his arm, Wang Shuai's face darkened, his disgust deepening.

"This fat pig is not only fat, but he also has a lot of strength!"

"Hmph, it's only because I haven't gotten any 'business' lately and I'm too hungry, otherwise, how could some good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid possibly pull me along?"

Wang Shuai watched Xiao Yun's round, chubby back, a barely perceptible sneer curling at the corner of his lips:

"But these good-for-nothing second-generation rich kids are just as naive and easily fooled!"

Wang Shuai turned his head slightly and glanced at Ji Mingyu and the others who were helplessly following behind him.

"Hehehe, these guys are strong, but in order to protect this second-generation rich kid, they'll still be led into my trap and become my helpers in conquering the dungeon!"

A strange red light flashed in Wang Shuai's eyes, then turned into fawning:

"Haha, let's go, let's go, it's all thanks to you guys that I can get a free meal by bringing in new customers."

Fearing it might arouse suspicion from Ji Mingyu and the others, he thoughtfully added:

"You may not know, but you get hungry quickly in the Eternal Feast Hall and you have to eat. However, each person only has one chance to enter the restaurant to eat each day. You can only eat together if you bring in new customers. That's why I became the 'Food Promoter' in order to eat my fill."

Ji Mingyu and the others nodded, the doubts in their eyes slowly disappearing.

As they were talking, Wang Shuai led the group through a series of streets and into an inconspicuous alley.

At the end of the alley, a simple plastic sign comes into view.

"Juanjuan's Home-Style Dishes, this is it! Their food is absolutely top-notch in terms of value!"

As Wang Shuai spoke, he pushed open the door and shouted loudly:

"Boss lady! I brought some friends over for dinner, bring out all your delicious food and drinks!"

But just as he was about to pull Xiao Yun into the restaurant, a cold shout came from behind him:

"Wait!"
