Universe Infinite Canteen

The track on the field is 400 meters in circumference, and Shen Yue had already run three-quarters of it, which is 300 meters.

She hadn't dared to run at full speed at the beginning, fearing that she would be out of energy later on, so she intentionally slowed down her pace, and was basically in the middle to back of the pack.

After 300 meters, both the people in front and behind her had already lost control of their facial expressions, gasping for air with their mouths wide open, while Shen Yue's breathing was still very steady.

It seemed... she could still pick up the pace a bit?

So, Shen Yue quietly quickened her steps, and after another 100 meters, she had successively passed 5 people, coming to the middle-front of the group.

She started to feel a touch of fatigue, her breathing rate increased, her heartbeat quickened, and her cheeks began to flush slightly.

But it wasn't as uncomfortable as the time she ran 800 meters, yet Shen Yue didn't increase her speed anymore, maintaining her current pace and continuing onto the second lap.

By the second lap, more and more people slowed down, staggering, and everyone's exhaustion was visibly evident.

Consequently, Shen Yue, maintaining her original speed, stood out rather conspicuously, surpassing quite a few more people... By the 600 meters mark, she had entered the first tier, with only four people ahead of her.

But at this time, her calves also began to ache, her feet felt as if they were filled with lead, and her breathing rhythm was completely disrupted.

Like a goldfish that accidentally leaped out of the fishbowl, desperately opening its mouth trying to gulp in oxygen.

Just when Shen Yue felt she was reaching her limit, a warm current suddenly arose from her stomach, swiftly flowing to her limbs and entire body, dissipating the fatigue within her.

Shen Yue felt as if she were back in that primitive forest, where cabbages, radishes, and potatoes joined hands, cheering her on.

They shouted in unison, "Let us become your strength too!"

And so the miracle happened, Shen Yue not only didn't slow down but actually picked up speed, overtaking two more people in the last 200 meters.

She almost crossed the finish line alongside a physical education student.

When she heard her time, Shen Yue simply couldn't believe her ears.

—3 minutes and 16 seconds.

Damn, 100 points, she actually scored full marks in the women's 800 meters. Even if the time was turned back two years to when she first enrolled, she couldn't have run such an awesome record.

And after finishing, Shen Yue didn't feel the sensation of being half-dead; she even thought she still had enough energy to run another half-lap.

And those who were familiar with Shen Yue were also shocked. Everyone had originally huddled together, trembling in fear of the 800/1000 meters run, comforting each other like little scared chicks.

How did one of those little scared chicks suddenly become so bold? So you were just interacting with us in the guise of an ordinary person, and as soon as the whistle blew, you stopped pretending, huh?

Han Feifei's eyes lit up.

Could it really be effective?

She initially thought Ma Lu might have colluded with the invigilating teachers to secretly adjust their grades, but it was too risky to do so. Even if the vegetable mix was sold for 66 yuan a bowl, it wouldn't cover the consequences if it got out.

And to be honest, with so many people watching, it would be hard to tamper with the results.

It wasn't until she saw Shen Yue's astonishing performance that she realized what that person had said was true. His snack really could improve athletic performance!

This is just... too awesome!

Han Feifei stepped forward, handing a bottle of mineral water to Shen Yue, and asked, "How do you feel now?"

"I feel great. I'm filled with strength from head to toe." Shen Yue threw a punch and struck a muscle-flexing pose, "I'm bathed in the grace of nature."

"How many fingers am I holding up?" Han Feifei stretched out two fingers.

"Stop messing around, I'm perfectly aware, don't worry. I've known Senior Ma Lu for many years. He might not like to play by the rules and loves to talk nonsense, but at most he skirts around grey areas; he wouldn't actually break the law."

"So what he said about the imperial physician's ancient recipe is true?" Han Feifei raised an eyebrow.

"This... it's actually hard to say."

At this point, Shen Yue remembered what the owner of a snack stall had told her earlier. Seeing people gathering around, she immediately began to help Ma Lu sell the vegetable medley.

Unfortunately, even with her personal demonstration, because Shen Yue's credibility was average, everyone viewed her claims with a mixture of belief and skepticism.

Moreover, selling a serving of vegetable medley for 66 was indeed outrageous. It felt like she and Ma Lu were in cahoots, treating everyone like leeks ready to be harvested, further intensifying the suspicion.

Just then, another person came over, who happened to be the top performer in the first group.

"What she said is true, I've also eaten that vegetable medley."

"What?"

The newcomer, named Geju, lived in the dormitory next to Shen Yue, was straightforward, well-liked, and even joined the department's volleyball team. Her coming in first wasn't as surprising as Shen Yue coming in second.

What surprised everyone was that she had also tried the vegetable medley from The Universe's Number One Snack Stall.

"No way, Geju, you even need to eat that?" Shen Yue asked incredulously.

"Ah, it's because I saw you eating, and it looked so delicious that I couldn't resist buying one too." Geju said, "It really was tasty, and surprisingly, it actually worked."

Hearing her say this, the crowd finally began to stir, and at that moment, another person stepped forward. This was someone who Shen Yue had dragged along at noon, a slightly plump girl whose physical education grades had always been poor.

Worried about failing the physical test and losing sleep over it, she had heard about the miraculous effects of the vegetable medley and, seeing it as a lifesaver, paid for it immediately, showing it off in her stomach.

As a result, she ran a time of 3 minutes and 40 seconds, not only passing but also achieving a decent score.

Now the crowd completely erupted, devoid of any doubts, and as the news spread like wildfire, the message quickly disseminated.

By this time, Baldy, the gym teacher, was already leading the second group in warm-ups. He turned around to see a lot of people starting to run out of the field and so called out to one of them.

"What are you guys up to?"

"Going, going to the bathroom?"

"Isn't the restroom on the second floor?"

"We're going to buy... buy water."

"So many of you buying water?"

Baldy, the gym teacher, was surprised but didn't take it too seriously. He just reminded them, "Hurry back, okay? If anyone's missing when it's your turn, I'll have to fail them."

"Got it, teacher."

The crowd rushed towards West Gate, competing to get there first, with some even placing orders in the WeChat group as they ran.

Very soon, The Universe's Number One Snack Stall was swamped with a sea of people.

Ma Lu had no choice but to pull out a megaphone and said to everyone,

"Don't crowd, don't crowd. Let those who are about to be tested buy first, the rest wait a bit. Don't buy if it's not your turn today—it won't help... um, those who are confident they can pass can save some money and not buy it, leaving it for students who really need it, okay?"
