The moment Raiden Ei's voice sounded, Furina's whole body trembled.
Great. Now she definitely couldn't take a bite.
If she had to eat leftovers in front of Raiden Ei, she'd rather not eat at all.
Maintaining composure, she said calmly:
"It's Su Ze's cake. He couldn't finish it, so I'm helping him throw it away."
With that, she loosened her grip.
The cake fell straight into the trash can.
"You— you you!"
Raiden Ei was stunned.
What kind of behavior was that?!
If he couldn't finish it, give it to me! I haven't eaten yet!
After all, in this game space, everyone's physical abilities were reduced to ordinary human levels. Skipping a meal meant genuine hunger.
In her mind, since Su Ze couldn't finish it, Furina must have already eaten some.
Outrageous. Absolutely outrageous. Eating alone and not sharing.
She strode over to Su Ze and extended her hand.
"Give me some too."

[Kujou Sara: General…?]
[Kamisato Ayaka: Ah… this…]
[Yae Miko: Good. At least she knows to eat when she's hungry.]
[Navia: What do you mean by that?]
[Wriothesley: What do you mean by that?]
[Sparkle: Fight! Fight!]
Su Ze looked at Raiden Ei's outstretched hand, momentarily speechless.
How could she be this straightforward?
Look at Furina — could you be a little more subtle?
"1 point."
"…What?"
"1 point per meal."
Raiden Ei immediately understood.
So she had to buy it with points.
She started with 10 points anyway. Spending one didn't hurt.
"Give me one."
"OK."
Even Su Ze didn't expect her to agree so quickly.
He promptly pulled out a whole pile of small cakes and handed them over.
Raiden Ei eagerly took a bite.
"So sweet!"
Furina's eye twitched watching from the side.
You're really generous with your points.
"You actually just spent your points like that?"
"Don't we get 10 points every game? Why save them?"
Her mouth twitched.
"You forgot. This time, after winning, points can be used to draw rewards."
That sentence froze Raiden Ei instantly.
Right.
She had only remembered the 10 starting points.
She'd completely forgotten there were rewards this time.
The cake in her hand suddenly felt less fragrant.
"Then… how many points does it take to draw a reward?"
"1 point per draw. The more points you spend, the higher the reward tier. Maximum level 10."
Hearing that, Raiden Ei relaxed.
She still had 9 points left. If she won, she could still draw a level 9 reward.
It's fine. Not a big loss.
She continued happily eating.
Su Ze couldn't help laughing internally.
Zero resource planning.
Sure, points could be used for rewards — but they could also buy clues.
Was she planning to clear the game without purchasing any information?
Still, Su Ze was more than happy to see her spending carelessly.
After all, he could also use points to draw rewards.
And where did his points come from?
From earning them off these players.
Furina forced herself to look away from the cake in Raiden Ei's hands.
Inside her mind, calculations were running.
But one voice kept repeating:
"You can still have 9 points left… You can still have 9 points left…"
After a long pause, she opened her eyes with determination.

[Navia: See? I told you Lady Furina wouldn't waste points carelessly.]
[Clorinde: Su Ze is just trying to drain their points. Don't fall for it.]
[Sigewinne: Lady Furina is a god, after all. She'll think this through.]
"Give me a slice of cake too!"
[Navia: .........]
[Emilie: .........]
[Kamisato Ayato: Yes indeed. Definitely not falling for it.]
[Arataki Itto: HAHAHAHAHA.]
[Clorinde: What are you laughing at? Is your Archon any different?]
[Yoimiya: Uh… this…]
[Hu Tao: Let's watch Liyue. Adeptus Xiao definitely won't fall for it.]
[Mona: Careful making statements that bold.]
Inside the arena.
Finally tasting cake, Furina looked blissful.
If only there were a cup of black tea to go with it…
With 2 points successfully earned, Su Ze stood up.
"You two enjoy. I'll take a walk."
He had been here a while and hadn't explored the castle yet.
He opened the door and headed into the garden.
Outside, he first glanced at the storage shed beside the garden.
"That should be Furina's work area."
Then he examined the building more closely.
The outer walls were covered in creeping ivy, making it look abandoned for years.
"That's strange…"
The exterior looked dilapidated.
The interior, however, was luxurious.
Muttering to himself, he began strolling around the courtyard.
Once he started, he couldn't stop.
He visited Furina's tool shed.
Jade's utility room.
Raiden Ei's kitchen.
Jing Yuan's medical room.
Everyone had a designated workspace — except Herta, the "Young Lady."
He even checked out Xiao's bodyguard room.
Along the way, he occasionally discovered interesting details.
Su Ze couldn't suppress his laughter.
What a talented group.
Every single one of them.
