Zhao Lijiang was obviously startled, shivering all over. "I really didn't mean to harm them!"

A sharp cat cry rang out, followed by the sound of things being knocked over, crashing to the ground.

"My tray!" came the cry from beside me, and I saw that it was my classmate Chen Zhiqian.

A black cat darted quickly past me, holding a piece of meat in its mouth.

This cat was originally an abandoned pet in the dormitory building. It had been lurking in the cafeteria, trying to get a free meal.

It was so hungry that it could only snatch food from people.

The cat was agile and had long since disappeared, but Chen Zhiqian burst into tears.

Her only braised pork in the plate was taken away, and she had to find a substitute of the same food, or else it would violate the rules!

Even though she pleaded everywhere, no one provided the same food. There was not much braised pork to begin with, and those who got it had already eaten it.

I couldn't bear it in my heart, so I wandered around the cafeteria with her. Surprisingly, on the ground near the serving window, we found a intact piece of braised pork.

I quickly picked it up, wiped it with my thumb, and handed it to Chen Zhiqian.

She put it in her mouth, chewed for a bit, and then spat it out. Her face turned pale, and she screamed sharply, "This isn't braised pork!"

Chen Zhiqian had a vacant look in her eyes. She seemed to have been shocked and kept shouting at the top of her lungs. Teacher Sun tried to comfort her in every way but was powerless.

But as I looked at that piece of meat, I couldn't see what was wrong with it.

Clearly, it was just an ordinary piece of meat, so why was her reaction so intense?

Could it be something foreign? I immediately picked it up and put it in my pocket.

Immediately, the cafeteria erupted with screams as certain foods in many people's bowls disappeared!

Although it was just one item missing, it was enough to make them on the verge of collapse. They were about to lose all their previous efforts, and the only solution was to snatch from others!

Soon, the cafeteria descended into chaos. Formerly friendly classmates fought fiercely for a bit of the same food.

Especially those who had shared food before, now they fought even harder because they had chosen the same type of food. Spoons and chopsticks became weapons, stabbing into each other's plates.

Dinner time ended, and some people still hadn't gathered all the types of food, so they fell into deep despair.

Just as the one-hour rule required, those missing foods appeared on the tables again, and there were even more of them.

Those who hadn't finished their meal according to the rules pounced on the food, unable to resist and began to eat voraciously. Their mouths were stuffed, their cheeks bulging.

Regardless of whether it was poisonous or not, they ate greedily, exposing their gums, but showed no signs of stopping.

Even when their mouths went numb and their lips turned purple, and their stomachs couldn't hold so much food, they still looked excited, swallowing large mouthfuls, causing saliva to splatter.

They didn't stop until they passed out... from eating.

This time, there were far fewer people drinking soup after the meal.

The bucket was filled with steaming fresh meat soup, but as I chewed on the bits of meat between my teeth, I couldn't taste anything.
