The original Jiang Qiuqiu had been a manual laborer. Though she had been tested to have B+ spiritual power, she had never undergone systematic training and couldnât demonstrate the true strength of a B+ ranker. Still, there was no way she should be this exhausted from just making a few meatballs.
âDid my arrival cause this body to weaken?â
No... Jiang Qiuqiu clutched her chest, her face slightly pale. If the original ownerâs physical sensations werenât deceiving her, her body shouldnât have deteriorated.
âIs it because I just got here and havenât fully gained control of this body? But why does all the fatigue hit after I cook...â
Before Jiang Qiuqiu could figure it out, a savory, fragrant aroma invaded her mind. Her small, round eyes suddenly fixed on the pile of meatballs by the kitchen counter. In that instant, Jiang Qiuqiu felt hungryâexceptionally hungry.
Her sixth sense told her that she needed to replenish her energy with a large amount of food.
The fried meatballs she made were a million times tastier than Nutrient Liquid, anyway. Grabbing a spoon, Jiang Qiuqiu sat at the table and started to eat.
The texture of Bibi Beast Meat was very similar to beef. The premium meat was processed into a coarse minceânot too fineâthen rolled into balls. They were fried until just right and then scooped out. A single bite revealed that the meatballs still retained some of their chewiness, making for a richer, more complex texture.
The only downside was that they were indeed too small; she could eat several in one mouthful. Fortunately, she had made plenty, so she didnât have to worry about running out!
After stuffing herself for a good while, the feeling of extreme exhaustion in her body finally began to fade. But while the physical fatigue was gone, the mental weariness remained. Jiang Qiuqiu rubbed her head, not even having the energy to check the comments before hastily collapsing into bed.
Everything fell silent for Jiang Qiuqiu, but the aftershocks of her âgourmet foodâ were still hitting the 110 lucky people chosen by Lady Luck today.
For example, Qiudao and Changbei.
After devouring the fried meatballs in one go, Changbei fell into a state of pure bliss. "This is shocking! Is this really the same Bibi Beast Meat we usually eat? I feel like my sense of taste has entered another dimension."
"I was so shortsighted, so ignorant! This person isnât making pet food; this is an inheritor of Ancient Earthâs culinary legacy!"
"This deliciousness is simply unstoppable!"
He praised Jiang Qiuqiu passionately, then expressed his dissatisfaction with his partnerâs silence. "Qiudao, why arenât you saying anything?!"
"It is indeed delicious, but we are Federation Soldiers. We must maintain a calm demeanorâ"
"But weâre not at war right now."
"Even so, we must uphold the image of the First Legionâ"
"But thereâs no one else here besides us."
Qiudao was still talking, but Changbei suddenly stared at his head and chuckled. "Ha, Qiudao, youâre putting on such a front."
Qiudao froze, not understanding why Changbei had suddenly changed the subject.
"You obviously love it, but you keep telling yourself to be calm, be calm."
"I never said I didnât like it, I justâ"
"You think itâs to die for, donât you?" Changbei suddenly leaped forward and pinched Qiudaoâs ear. "Youâre so relaxed your beast ears popped out!"
Suddenly having his fluffy ear grabbed, Qiudaoâs cheeks flushed red, and he turned his head away, looking a little angry.
Changbei went, "Eh," feeling like he might have gone too far. He immediately let his own striped beast ears and tail pop out. "Qiudao, I didnât mean it! The meatballs are so good, itâs totally normal for your ears to show! See? Not only are my ears out, but my tail is too!"
He chattered on, circling Qiudao, who raised a hand and pushed his face away. "Alright, I get it."
Just as the two were happily interacting, a low, deep voice cut in. "Qiudao, Changbei, what are you two doing?"
The beastly parts they both had showing all froze stiff.
