No Longer Lovesick After a Memory Loss

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 explained.

“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 villa?”

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 explained.

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

The girl replied, “They said we have to earn an equivalent reward through labor. The production team has prepared a kind of coin system to replace currency, and you can use the coins to buy various things from the production team.”

Freya was completely speechless. Was this still a competition? 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 back later. 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, the competition is more important,” the girl explained.

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?”

Freya laughed and said, “There are cameras all over this place. 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 assistant comes 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 explain 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 tomorrow comes, 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 Flamation forum. Tisch, and had overcome many difficult tasks. This wouldn’t pose a challenge to her.

The two of them left the villa while chatting and headed toward a nearby bungalow. The bungalow was about seven to eight hundred meters away from the villa. 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. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Freya explained 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 villa’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.

“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 dollar in reality, which meant they had fifty dollars 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 calculated 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 villa, it was bustling with activity.
