The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 43 What a piece of junk!

The people around remained motionless, their eyes warily observing each other.

Su Qi understood too.

If he answered in a way that pleased Pig Head Man, then he could come out of the kitchen.

If not, he wouldn't be able to leave.

And right now, no one wanted to be the first; they just wanted to gauge the correctness of others' answers to gather a bit more information.

Although answering with the highest number of ingredients would lead to victory in the game,

they were simply trying to survive.

Inhabitants of each room huddled together, sharing clues with one another.

"What do you think is in this bowl..." Spider Boy asked cautiously.

Su Qi responded indifferently, "It's shit, what else could it be besides shit?"

"..."

While many agreed with his statement, no one dared to give such an answer.

Croc Brother glanced at the others and whispered, "I tasted a fingernail, it must be... from a monkey."

"I got a mouthful of hair... I can't tell what kind, might be a rat."

Snake Head Man stuttered, "Is it just me, or does it taste like my mom's cooking?"

"Your mom's cooking is this bad???" The group was stunned.

"I tasted snake skin," Snake Head Man was on the verge of tears.

"..."

This was too hellish; the crowd fell into a somber silence.

Su Qi, looking into the distance, said with interest, "Someone's going."

Clearly forced, the individual trembled and shuffled their feet.

The four from room one kicked them, "Hurry up and remember to say the information I gave you."

This gang was using them to find their own answers.

After a minute inside, screams were heard, then they gradually faded, and Pig Head Man announced coldly, "Next."

The inhabitants of room one sneered, lifting another person.

"So ruthless!" Croc Brother found it hard to watch.

"That's why room one has survived so many game days," Snake Head Man hissed, "They've learned the brutality of the staff and secured their footing in the orphanage."

And after another minute, this person actually came out alive; the four from room one smiled—they must have had some correct information. Combining that with their own... it was enough.

Quickly,

another volunteered to walk into the kitchen.

"Now someone else has moved."

"Because that one doesn't like the same answers over and over, wanting to hear new ingredients each time, the later it gets... the harder and more dangerous," Snake Head Man said with a rueful smile.

"Only the people of room one dare to stay till the end because they continuously force the people who come out to tell them information."

Su Qi pondered, "Is that so, well, alright then. The three of you follow suit later."

"But we still haven't grasped enough information!" Croc Brother shook his head.

"Cow dung, cockroaches, dead maggots, frog juice, rat urine... these should be enough, oh right, it also added a big dollop of its own snot," Su Qi muttered to himself.

"For real..." The others' faces paled.

"Would I lie to you?"

"Ugh—"

The three retched underneath the table.

"Ignorance is bliss, but once you know, it becomes completely unacceptable..."

As they saw someone emerge, they clenched their teeth, "We're going too."

They were simply trying to survive; winning the game was not even a consideration.

Su Qi stayed in his place and didn't go with the others.

He calmly watched the panicked expressions of the people around him, certain that he was going to win this game.

And his opponent... were those four from Room One, who were right now constantly threatening and then gleaning information.

But Su Qi was still not anxious.

Time ticked by, other players kept moving in and out of the kitchen, entering with sweat drenched brows and leaving like they had shed a layer of water, relieved to have survived.

"It feels like a student reciting to the teacher in the office."

Su Qi could even afford such an association.

Soon, the four from Room One also noticed Su Qi, who had been stationary the whole time, and their eyes narrowed slightly.

Soon after,

everyone else had taken their turn, leaving only them and Su Qi still unmoving.

"Is that the newbie?" The one who seemed to be the leader spoke, a formidable Rhino Horn protruding from his head, his eyes emitting a cold light.

"Just a minor character, let's go first," the other three sneered. "There's no surprise who the winners will be this time. It's us again. Once we get the reward, we'll really be able to enjoy the next game."

The three of them one by one entered the kitchen.

Rhino Horn's gaze fixed on Su Qi, but he found that Su Qi was also looking back at him, then displaying an innocuous smile.

He actually seemed intrigued as he asked, "What are you waiting for, newbie?"

As soon as he spoke,

every other gaze immediately turned towards them, all landing on Su Qi.

The three men with snake heads suddenly tensed up.

"...Don't provoke them..." The Snake Head Man lowered his head, quickly whispering a few words, trying to discourage Su Qi.

But Su Qi had already cheerfully replied, "I'm waiting for you to go in."

Rhino Horn's gaze narrowed, a sneer appearing on his lips, "Interesting, and follow behind me to become food in the kitchen?"

"No." Su Qi remained calm, "I will survive, and I will also win this so-called game."

Rhino's gaze sharpened, and he actually stood up, his body pushing the table aside, his expression fierce, "You little squirt, you think you can win? Have the guts to say that again?"

Everyone else was startled but then showed a faint sympathy.

That's how Brother Dog had gone down.

This newbie.... if he didn't die here, he would somewhere else.

"Rhino, calm down." The three from Room One had emerged, jumping at the sight, "No fighting in the dining hall."

And at this moment.

The commotion outside had caught the attention of the Pig Head Man in the kitchen, who pulled back the curtain with a cold look in his eyes, "What are you standing up for? Looking to die?"

"..."

Rhino slumped back into his seat, not daring to utter a sound, but his eyes remained fixed on Su Qi.

Pig Head Man's gaze shifted between Rhino and Su Qi, eyes slightly squinting, not moving towards the kitchen, his voice hoarse, "Looks like it's just the two of you left."

"Let's just get it over with, right here."

He idled his Bone Cutting Knife, revealing a cruel smile, "Of course, whoever speaks last must mention three new ingredients... if they fail..."

The outcome went without saying.

Rhino, not expecting any surprises, still hastened to respond, his voice hoarse as he divulged all the information he had gathered, a comprehensive list... over twenty ingredients.

He even added a sycophantic comment at the end, "This is the richest, most delicious soup I've tasted."

Pig Head Man, however, did not show pleasure at his words, his gaze remaining flat as he looked at Su Qi, "He's almost finished listing the ingredients, there's only two left, kid... even if you say them, it seems you've lost."

Su Qi looked at Pig Head Man's Bone Cutting Knife, glinting sharply, "Can I say a few last words, then?"

Pig Head Man didn't respond, seemingly allowing it out of interest.

"I just want to say..." Su Qi paused, stunningly asserting, "This is the worst, most disgusting mess of ingredients I've ever seen! No one would eat this! It's utterly inedible!"

"This is eating shit! No! This is even worse than shit!"
