The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

About half an hour later, Yi Shenshou finally came back.

Seeing him scan his fingerprint to open the glass door of the lounge, Hou was dissatisfied and remembered that his authority was not as high as that of a student. The familiar feeling of dissatisfaction came over him again. He frowned and asked, "Why did the alarm go off? Where is the dean?"

Yi Shenshou simply said, "It was an accidental touch."

He did not reveal Yan Shupei's whereabouts. Hou Buman knew that he did it on purpose, but Ai Wanxin was standing in the lounge. Hou Buman did not dare to get angry and pushed Yi Shenshou away in annoyance.

Yuan Xiaodan followed closely and said, "Brother, I was so scared just now. I thought someone broke into the secret laboratory again!"

Ai Wanxin's ears twitched slightly. What does it mean that someone broke into the confidential laboratory again?

Yi Shenshou said "hmm" and comforted him, "It's okay."

He walked up to Ai Wanxin and said in a gentle voice, "Sorry for keeping you waiting. Someone just triggered the alarm by mistake. Are you scared?"

Ai Wanxin nodded: "I'm a little scared. Who touched it by mistake?"

Yuan Xiaodan tilted her head in confusion. Her sister looked so calm just now, but it turns out she was also scared?

Yi Shenshou said calmly, "He is another teacher's student."

Yuan Xiaodan was even more confused. Even they couldn’t go to the confidential laboratory, so how could other teachers’ students possibly get in?

Ai Wanxin didn't say anything. Yi Shenshou glanced at the water and nutrient solution on the table and didn't continue the topic. Instead, he said, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll take you to eat."

Yuan Xiaodan's eyes lit up, but he restrained himself and didn't say he wanted to go along.

Now there is a cafeteria open in the Science City that sells food from before the apocalypse, but the food is ridiculously expensive and cannot be bought with the previous currency. It must be purchased with the current universal currency, contribution points.

In the Academy of Sciences, their sources of contribution points are very limited. They only have those allocated to them by their teachers and a small amount of contribution points they can earn through work-study programs.

Although the teacher gave the senior the opportunity to work and study, the senior said that he was growing up and basically gave all the food he earned in exchange for contribution points to him, so he was too embarrassed to ask to go with them today.

Yi Shenshou knew what was in his mind without even looking. He touched Yuan Xiaodan's round little head and chuckled, "Let's go together."

When the three of them left the lounge, Sang Mingying was still there, sweeping the floor. When Yi Shenshou passed by her, he nodded politely but distantly, with no intention of inviting her to join him.

Ai Wanxin's eyes fluttered for a moment, and he leaned close to Yuan Xiaodan and asked in a low voice: "Aren't they familiar with each other?"

Yuan Xiaodan carefully glanced at Yi Shenshou who was walking in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Sister, this is very complicated, really very complicated——"

He leaned close to Ai Wanxin's ear and whispered, "But I can be brief."

"It turns out there was a senior fellow in the lab, the one who threw away other people's precious samples. He was caught on the spot, and the teacher was very angry and wanted to expel him. But later on, for some reason, he was not expelled. He was just given a new supervisor, and the teacher himself stopped supervising him." Yuan Xiaodan spoke at a very fast speed, and Ai Wan had a vague feeling that he had been holding back very hard, and that he had finally hit the nail on the head.

"That senior brother is Senior Sister Mingying's boyfriend, and the sample he threw was Senior Brother Yi's sample!"

Ai Wanxin suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Is it so bad?!"

Yuan Xiaodan nodded confidently: "Very bad! He can't publish his own articles, so he comes to harm others. How bad!"

Yi Shenshou, who was walking in front, looked back at him, stopped and waited for them to join him. Yuan Xiaodan smiled foolishly at him, trying to get away with it.

It was lunch time, but there were not many people in the only open cafeteria in the Science City. Yi Shenshou took off his bracelet and gave it to Yuan Xiaodan, asking him to buy lunch.

After sending Yuan Xiaodan away, Yi Shenshou said in a gentle voice: "It has nothing to do with that incident. It's just that we don't get along very well. There's no need to force ourselves to get together."

Ai Wan was curious: "Then can we get along?"

Yi Shenshou's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly said, "Let's go see what you want to eat."

There were only two open windows in the cafeteria, one selling rice and vegetables, and the other selling noodles. Yuan Xiaodan held Yi Shenshou's bracelet and wandered back and forth between the two windows. Rice and vegetables tasted better than noodles, but noodles were cheaper and more filling, so he was really a little hesitant.

Seeing Ai Wanxin coming, he hurriedly asked, "Sister, what do you want to eat?"

Ai Wanxin saw the price tag at a glance: two taels of rice for 1 contribution point, a portion of meat dish for 15 contribution points, and a portion of vegetables for 20 contribution points.

When sneaking into Guanghui City, Yin Yanhan asked someone to sort out the general situation of the city, so Ai Wanxin knew that the contribution points used in Guanghui City were the same as those in Fengcheng.

When she first entered Fengcheng, the price of goods in Fengcheng was about 1 contribution point for half a catty of noodles, and 10 contribution points for 1 tael of pork.

It seems that the prices in Glory City are higher than those in Maple City.

She threw the bracelet to Prince Tang as soon as she got it. After that, she had no use for the contribution points and had forgotten about it.

However, if she wanted to get into the academy, she naturally had to have a complete identity. Before coming today, Pei Junlin gave her a bracelet.

Ai Wanxin took the bracelet out of her pocket and asked, "Can I just swipe this?"

Yuan Xiaodan nodded, and Ai Wanxin put the bracelet on the card machine and asked, "How do I check the balance?"

The card machine's light screen can display eight digits, six before the decimal point and two after the decimal point.

Yuan Xiaodan looked at the flashing .99 on the screen with a blank face, feeling that he no longer recognized the number 9.

A boy standing behind the three of them couldn't help but screamed: "Fuck! How many contribution points?!"

Ai Wanxin quickly took off the bracelet.

She really didn't expect that there were so many contribution points in this bracelet, but when she thought that it was prepared by Pei Junlin, she felt it was reasonable.

She smiled with her eyebrows curved: "Ha, my brothers are really good at killing zombies."

Yuan Xiaodan exclaimed: "How many brothers do we need to have... No, how many zombies do we need to kill?"

In the end, they each chose a bowl of noodles, and Yi Shenshou gently held her hand when paying the bill.

Ai Wanxin didn't insist. After all, friends should reciprocate. You treat me to a meal today and I treat you to a meal tomorrow. Isn't that how relationships are cultivated?

The three of them found a secluded corner and sat down. Yi Shenshou went to get the tableware, and Ai Wanxin took off her mask.

Yuan Xiaodan was originally sipping the noodle soup in small sips. When he saw her face, a mouthful of hot soup mixed with air went into his trachea and he started coughing violently.

Ai Wanxin stood up and patted his back, saying with a smile, "Eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll buy you more."

"What's wrong?" Yi Shenshou returned to the dining table and asked Yuan Xiaodan, who looked a little embarrassed.

Ai Wanxin raised her head and said with a smile, "He eats too fast."

Yi Shenshou was dazzled by her smile and was stunned for two seconds before he said, "Really?"
