Chapter 306 Finding Food for Oneself


    Freya was a bit surprised as she looked at the half-eaten instant noodles in her bowl.


    “I saw there were instant noodles in the fridge, so I took one and ate it,” she exined.


    “What?” The girl looked annoyed. “Those were bought on credit from the production team! You have to


    pay me back tomorrow after eating them!”


    Bought on credit?!


    Freya widened her eyes. “Why do we have to buy food on credit? Doesn’t the production. team provide


    meals?”


    The girl looked at Freya curiously. “Didn’t you hear the announcement on the radio in the vi?”


    Freya thought for a moment. “I think I was procuring ingredients at that time, so I didn’t hear any


    announcement.”


    “Then, will you pay me back for the instant noodles?”


    “I will,” Freya assured her.


    The girl seemed relieved and sat down across from Freya.


    “The announcement said that during this period of closed-off management, everyone has to exchange


    their meals with the production team,” the girl exined.


    Freya furrowed her brows. “How do we exchange it?”


    The girl replied, “They said we have to earn an equivalent reward throughbor. The production team


    has prepared a kind of coin system to rece currency, and you can use the coins to buy various


    things from the production team.”


    Freya waspletely speechless. Was this still apetition? How did it turn out like this?


    What would she do if there was no food?


    Freya looked at the bowl of instant noodles with a furrowed brow.


    She was already 70 percent full, but knowing that she had bought them on credit, she still had to pay


    them back….


    She carefully finished the instant noodles and emptied the bowl of soup as well.


    After finishing the meal, Freya looked at the girl and asked, “How did you get the coins to buy the


    instant noodles? Can you tell me?”


    “Everyone can borrow fifty coins from the production team, but we still have to pay them backter. I


    borrowed fifty and bought more instant noodles because they were the cheapest. I figured to get by for


    a few days by eating one pack a day for the time being. After all, thepetition is more important,”


    the girl exined.


    Freya thought for a moment and said, “Can you borrow another pack of instant noodles for my


    assistant? She hasn’t eaten yet, and she’ll be back soon.”


    The girl looked at Freya with wide eyes and hesitated for a few seconds before asking. “Are you sure


    you’ll pay me back tomorrow?”


    Freyaughed and said, “There are cameras all over this ce. I promise you that my guarantee here


    will definitely be fulfilled.”


    The girl finally felt relieved and said, “There are more in the fridge. When your assistantes back,


    you can get it yourself.”


    Not long after, Brisa returned from the director’s group.


    Entering the living room, she looked excited. “I’ve already delivered the items safely. How was it?”


    Freya smiled and praised, “Great.”


    It was already half past ten in the morning, and Brisa sat on the sofa.


    “I’m starving after running errands. What are we having for lunch today?”


    Freya helplessly smiled. “Instant noodles.”


    Brisa widened her eyes. “Freya, I worked hard for you, and you’re just going to let me eat instant


    noodles? Aren’t you being too stingy? The director’s group should have more than just instant


    noodles!”


    Freya sighed and said helplessly, “I just had instant noodles myself, and the director’s group doesn’t


    have boxed meals.”


    “What’s going on?” Brisa furrowed her brows.


    Freya had to exin what the girl had told her to Brisa.


    Feeling helpless, she looked at Brisa. “The announcement most likely happened when I went out to


    procure ingredients. You were probably asleep then, so neither of us heard it.”


    Brisa thought for a moment and said, “Since everyone can borrow fifty coins, why don’t you borrow fifty


    and have a good lunch first? When tomorrowes, we can do tasks and exchange something of


    equal value for the coins. I’ll go and exchange them for you.”


    Freya thought for a moment and eventually nodded in agreement. With Brisa around, she wasn’t too


    worried about what the production team could do. Brisa was one of the four major administrators from


    The Green mation forum. Tisch, and had ovee many difficult tasks. This wouldn’t pose a


    challenge to her.


    The two of them left the vi while chatting and headed toward a nearby bungalow. The bungalow was


    about seven to eight hundred meters away from the vi. When they arrived, Brisa was already


    clutching her stomach.


    “I feel like I’m starving to death.”


    After entering the bungalow, they went to the production team. A staff member seemed to have


    anticipated their arrival and was already waiting at the door.


    Freya exined their purpose directly.


    “So, you’re here to borrow coins,” the staff member said with a smile as he handed over a bag of coins


    that had been prepared in advance. “There are fifty coins in the bag. Do you want to count them?”


    “No, that won’t be necessary,” Freya replied, holding the bag of coins. “Where can we exchange these


    for items?”


    “There’s a grocery store next to the ingredients warehouse. It has all the delicious food provided by the


    production team. There’s a wide variety of meat, eggs, and poultry. The vi’s kitchen is also fully


    equipped, but of course, you need enough coins to exchange for them,” the staff member said with a


    cunning smile.


    Freya and Brisa left the bungalow with a small bag of coins.


    As expected, they found a grocery store next to the ingredients warehouse, which Freya hadn’t noticed


    when she came in the morning. From a distance, she thought it was some kind of power distribution


    room.


    They pushed open the door and entered.


    The grocery store wasn’t big, only about fifty square meters, but it was filled with a wide variety of


    items, and each item no longer had a price tag. Instead, they were priced in coins.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “What do you want to eat?” Freya asked.


    She looked at each item on the shelves that could be exchanged with coins and made a rough


    estimate.


    One coin could be considered as one dor in reality, which meant they had fifty dors in their hands!


    However, some of the other items in the grocery store were ridiculously expensive.


    A bag of cookies cost twenty coins.


    Instant noodles were cheaper, but it was clear that the prices of snacks and other leisure. items had


    been set high by the production team.


    Freya calcted on her fingers. If they only exchanged the cookies for instant noodles, they could only


    get twenty-five packs, which wouldn’t be enough for one person to eat for half a month. It was almost


    mandatory for everyone to do tasks.


    Brisa was holding a self-heating hot pot and refused to let go. “Freya, exchange this for me. I promise


    I’ll earn a lot of money for you in the future!”


    Freya squinted her eyes and asked, “How much does this self-heating hot pot cost?”


    Brisa smiled brightly. “Twenty coins.”


    Freya hesitated. “Twenty coins for one self-heating hot pot isn’t worth it.”


    Twenty coins were enough to exchange for ten packs of instant noodles. In this tight. situation, they


    borrowed fifty coins, and they should try to be as frugal as possible.


    Seeing Freya’s hesitation, Brisa held onto the hot pot and said, “Let me tell you, Freya. If you don’t


    exchange this hot pot for me, I’ll go on strike!”


    Freya felt helpless and took the self-heating hot pot from Brisa.


    At the door, they handed over twenty coins to the staff responsible for the exchange before leaving with


    a bowl of self-heating hot pot.


    When Freya and Brisa returned to the dining room in the vi, it was bustling with activity.
