Chapter Nine, The Cafeteria Tyrant

In the following week, Lin Fei spent his time in the first cafeteria and the prison medical room. At night, the War God system in his mind simulated some combat training techniques for Lin Fei to learn. During the day, Lin Fei applied what he had learned by engaging in fights and sparring with the inmates in the first cafeteria.

The overweight cellmate began to kneel down, clutching Lin Fei's thigh and pleading tearfully.

Lin Fei was introduced by his overweight cellmate to the distribution of prisoner factions in Karl Prison. There are a total of three cafeterias, and in a certain sense, there are three leaders. Now, Lin Fei is the leader of the first cafeteria

When Lin Fei woke up, it was already noon. His overweight cellmate brought back some food, which surprisingly was not the unappetizing synthetic food, but rather simple home-cooked dishes

The remaining more than 300 individuals are all injured, with either broken arms or broken legs. Throughout the entire cafeteria, there are crutches and white bandages everywhere, filled with the scent of medical disinfectant. The current first cafeteria resembles a rehabilitation center for the disabled.

Soon, Lin Fei returned to his cell. It had been nearly half a month since he had last been in his cell, and he finally saw a bed other than the one in the infirmary.

However, most of Lin Fei's subordinates are now injured and disabled, and they will not be of much use in the short term

On the eighth day, when Lin Fei appeared in the first cafeteria holding an iron ball, there were only a little over three hundred inmates eating in the cafeteria, while more than two hundred others were either in the prison infirmary or in their own cells, refusing to come for breakfast

The remaining matters unfolded quite naturally, and Lin Fei became the leader of the first cafeteria in Karl Prison

Among them, the third cafeteria possesses the strongest combat capability; however, they are few in number and face significant exclusion.

After finishing breakfast, the overweight inmate approached Lin Fei to hand him a metal iron ball, as Lin Fei walked towards his cell

No way, boss, the deathmatch arena has an astonishing rate of fatalities and injuries, aren't you asking me to send myself to death? Although you are quite skilled, there are several formidable characters among the death row inmates in the second and third cafeteria lines, and most of them are not even normal humans

This is a placeholder text.

With a sound of "bang," the overweight inmate, upon hearing Lin Fei's words, was so astonished that he dropped the metal ball he was holding onto the ground

This time, after Lin Fei had eaten his fill, no matter how much he mocked and provoked the other prisoners, they all treated him as if he did not exist. Even when he physically assaulted a few prisoners nearby, they merely raised their legs to run away; those who could not escape simply lay on the ground pretending to be dead, refusing to get up, let alone retaliate against Lin Fei

Fortunately, he has tough skin and strong flesh, and Lin Fei did not take action against him. During several fights, Lin Fei even took care of him a few times. He only had a few bandages wrapped around his arm, without any broken bones or missing limbs. In this cafeteria filled with injured personnel, his injuries could be considered minor.

Alright, stop crying. I will take care of you and won't let you die; at most, you might end up disabled. What is there to be afraid of? This is such a great opportunity, and others would want to take your place but I won't let them. You are my priority. Just think about it: after victory, you will be able to smoke, drink, and enjoy delicious food at will, which is far better than the synthetic food we have now. Lin Fei tried his best to comfort his overweight cellmate.

During this period, Lin Fei encountered the intern doctor Ouyang Feng three more times, but the young doctor's expression grew increasingly haggard and resentful. According to her, the prisoners involved in the mass brawl at the first cafeteria have now been given a nickname in the prison, referring to them as the "Cafeteria Tyrants".

Every month, the three main cafeterias must select individuals to participate in a fight, with two representatives from each cafeteria engaging in a life-and-death battle. The victor will receive various necessities, such as food, fruits, cigarettes, and beverages, which are difficult to obtain in prison. Furthermore, the winning cafeteria will enjoy better meals for the following month

Boss, you should choose a teammate who can actually help you on the field. Just look at my physique and weight; what use would I be on the field

"War God System, do you think this counts as me fulfilling your requirement to gang up on the entire cafeteria of prisoners, and indirectly completing this task objective?" Seeing this result, Lin Fei proudly spoke to the War God system in his mind.

The entire Karl Prison houses three types of prisoners, who surprisingly form factions based on the dining halls. The first dining hall accommodates normal human prisoners, the second dining hall houses those who have consumed cell modification fluid or are biochemically enhanced individuals, while the third dining hall contains prisoners who have undergone metal limb modifications, most of whom possess various metal components.

When Lin Fei opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the prison infirmary and library. However, this time, unfortunately, he was attached to a full IV drip, likely replaced by the young, doll-like doctor while he was unconscious. It seems he would not be able to see her busy figure this time.

Hearing his overweight cellmate say that this is the benefit of becoming the cafeteria leader, Lin Fei thought that being the cafeteria leader is indeed good, as the first thing to improve would be the food.

"Just let you and me fight, anyway, whoever goes up is going up. This is just a good opportunity for you to bring back some cigarettes and alcohol," Lin Fei said with a smile to the chubby man beside him

With no rivals left, Lin Fei called his prison mate, Fatty, to his side and handed him a metal ball. Due to his association with Lin Fei, Fatty had been subjected to numerous beatings from the other inmates in the cafeteria over the past few days

However, the fat man also conveyed a piece of news to Lin Fei

Of course, Ouyang Feng does not yet know that the person she has been chatting with is none other than Lin Fei, the so-called tyrant of the cafeteria. However, Lin Fei feels that the title of "tyrant of the cafeteria" is quite unflattering; it lacks elegance and flair. To those who are unaware, it might even suggest that he is a particularly gluttonous fat person. If he were to find out that this unpleasant nickname was given by that fool, he would certainly not take it well.

The former head of the First Canteen, shortly before Lin Feilai began serving his sentence in this prison, died under mysterious circumstances. As for the cause of death, many theories have circulated. Some say he was secretly killed by a few angry inmates due to his habitual bullying, others claim it was because of his preference for men, which ultimately led to his demise, and there are also rumors that it was a suicide, as he was preparing for a rebirth.

The first cafeteria has consecutively lost many matches and has been relying on difficult-to-prepare synthetic food.

"Fight for food," is a widely circulated saying within the Karl prison

The War God System did not respond, which can be taken as an acknowledgment of Lin Fei's growth

Lin Fei lay in bed, ready to have a good sleep. His overweight cellmate introduced him, stating that as one of the three leaders of the prison's dining halls, he, the leader of the first dining hall for ordinary human prisoners, enjoyed certain privileges. One of these privileges was the ability to rest in his own cell when he did not wish to participate in outdoor activities, simply referred to as sleeping.

"Boss, who are you planning to send to the life-and-death combat arena tonight?" the chubby inmate respectfully asked Lin Fei

The teams that failed mostly suffered serious injuries or fatalities. The participants were all selected by the head of the cafeteria. As for the fighting time, counting the days, it unfortunately falls on tonight.

Look at your weight, with so much fat, you are practically the ideal fat shield; you can take the field to draw fire
