The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 126 Blue Star Gourmet Feast (Bonus chapter thanks to q阅苒苒物华休_dA for the generous donation!)

Lilith got up very early today. She finished her bread and juice. Her third bloodline analysis and fusion with the Bloodthirsty Needle is not yet complete. She still needs to invest more magic.

I need to go to the breadfruit forest and pick another batch of breadfruit to replenish my magic power.

The door opened, and pieces of paper fell to the ground one by one: "What are these?"

She picked it up and saw the familiar handwriting that pained her. She recognized it without even looking at the signature; she had signed countless contracts with that handwriting.

I hope Moran's card ad doesn't end up in the dorms!

Lilith was both excited and scared: "I'll take another look. If it's an ad for selling cards, I'm definitely not falling for it!"

"That's right! That's it!"

Lilith glanced at the slip of paper again: "Invitation to a Free Blue Star Food Tasting Dinner..."

Her gaze was fixed on the word "free" and she couldn't look away!
"That's right! It's signed Moran! How could it be 'free'?"

Lilith could hardly believe it: "Moran has changed his personality?"

She carefully read the invitation several times, confirming that it was a free dinner.

But she couldn't feel happy; in fact, she felt a little worried.

Moran once offered to give them character cards for free, but she refused. She even educated the younger girl, saying that witches value equal trade and don't like taking things from others for free, fearing that this junior might learn the ways of humans from her past life and suffer losses in the future.

As a result, Moran quickly went further and further down the path of a goblin merchant.

Even now, Lilith often regrets the words she said to Moran that morning.

"Lilith! You received it too!" The witch living in the dormitory next to Lilith also found the invitation: "Moran invited us to a dinner party at the food distribution center! Besides hot pot, there are many other delicacies that I've never heard of before. How wonderful, we're in for a treat."

“Amelia! You’re still too naive!” Lilith shook her head.

The last time Moran was offered for free, it turned into a profiteer's scheme.

This time it's free again, and Lilith can't even imagine what might happen!
"What do you mean? You don't not want to go, do you?" Amelia asked, puzzled.

“Of course I’m going!” Lilith said.

This time, she must keep her mouth shut and control her hands, and absolutely not sign even one more of Moran's contracts!
As long as she doesn't sign, her magic won't leave her!

Thinking about her own magic made her even more heartbroken: "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to pick breadfruit!"

"Poor Lilith, how many breadfruits did she eat to feed the Bloodthirsty Needle!" Amelia was unaware of the breadfruit juice and juicer.

In the evening, Lilith arrived at the dinner venue—the food pick-up area—an hour earlier than the time stated on the invitation.

From afar, she could see wisps of smoke rising from the grass outside the food distribution area, where four mobile kitchens and more than twenty portable stoves were set up.

The first-grade witches were busy as bees, with many of them personally washing vegetables and chopping things.

As she got closer, she smelled a peculiar aroma emanating from several large pots placed together nearby. The dark brown broth inside was bubbling and looked ominous.

"Molan, this has been simmering for almost three hours! Is it still not ready?" Ais kept circling around the pots of braised dishes, especially the pots of braised meat: "The meat is getting darker and darker as it cooks, how can it taste good? And won't it fall apart after stewing for so long?" "It'll be ready soon. The darker color means it's absorbed the flavor! That's why we used large pieces of meat to prevent it from falling apart. Don't worry, it'll be absolutely delicious! This is a top-secret recipe from a century-old brand on Blue Star!"

Moran spoke confidently, then, seeing the approaching black dot in the sky, she quickly called out, "Senior Lilith!"

Lilith landed beside her: "What's in this pot? Is it some kind of culinary disaster? It's all black and looks awful!"

Moran had heard this question many times today: "The bird eggs over there, and some vegetables, are already braised. Senior, go try one, and you'll know how delicious this braising sauce is!"

Ais, who had just doubted how delicious the braised meat was, raved about the vegetarian braised meat: "The vegetarian braised meat and braised eggs are really good!"

Lilith was skeptical, but Moran pushed her towards the dining table, took a braised bird egg, and stuffed it into her hand: "Try it!"

Lilith looked at the egg with its cracked, brownish shell, frowned, and peeled it open.

She took a bite, then another, and in no time she had finished the whole Dudu bird egg.

"Delicious!" The bird egg was only about half the size of her fist. Lilith felt she hadn't tasted the essence yet and couldn't resist wanting to try another one, but Moran stopped her outstretched hand.
"Senior, the banquet hasn't started yet. When the noodles are cooked, put this in the broth; it'll taste even better! Save some room for other delicious food and drinks!"

No matter how many braised eggs she eats, all she can recommend is a braised food card.

Of course, all the little witches should have enough to eat so that everyone can try everything!

Lilith: "..."

He lost his composure!

These dark-colored marinated eggs are so delicious!

She silently looked away, afraid she wouldn't be able to control her hands.

"Huh? What's this?" Lilith saw a large wooden sign stuck on the side of the table. It looked like it had been taken from the farm tool shed. There was a piece of paper stuck on it with something written on it in colored pens.

"Introduction to the {Food Card - Spice Packet} card?"

"That's right! All the braised dishes will be placed on this long table. They're all made with this spice packet. It's very simple; just put it in water and boil it. The precautions are all written on it."

Moran immediately started promoting her cards: "If you didn't eat well at the banquet, you can buy one and make your own braised dishes at home. One card can be used to braise a lot of things! And it only costs 2 mana!"

Lilith's expression was uncertain, and after a long while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I understand."

Oh no, she's fallen for me again!
No, no! It hasn't been long, and she can't hold on any longer!

No matter how many times she told herself before coming here that she would never spend another mana, she couldn't change the fact that a boiled egg had swayed her.

Of course, she only hesitated for a moment. She refrained from saying she would buy it, and instead changed the subject, saying, "Is there anything I can do?"

She came so early to help out, not to listen to sales pitches or buy cards.

“Of course! I’ve prepared 120 small bowls to serve everyone instant noodles. Senior, could you help me distribute the instant noodle seasoning into these bowls? One packet of seasoning should be divided into four portions and put into four small bowls. Once everyone arrives, we can start cooking the noodles,” Moran said.
