Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tie Niu grabbed the ingredients in front of him and began cooking.

His movements were extremely fast, the knife flashed, and the ingredients danced in his hands.

In the blink of an eye, a dish was ready.

It was a roast suckling pig, golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, exuding a rich meaty aroma.

"please!"

Tie Niu pushed the roast suckling pig in front of Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun picked up his chopsticks, took a piece, and put it in his mouth.

The meat is tender and melts in your mouth, rich but not greasy.

"good."

He nodded and quickly finished the whole roasted suckling pig.

Then, he picked up the ingredients and began to cook.

Xiao Yun's movements were slow, even somewhat clumsy.

But every cut was incredibly precise.

Soon, a plate of egg fried rice was ready.

The golden rice, each grain distinct, is interspersed with bright green scallions and exudes a fragrant aroma.

"please."

Xiao Yun pushed the fried rice in front of Tie Niu.

Tie Niu glanced at it and raised an eyebrow:

"Fried rice with egg? You're serving a main dish right away, young man. That's not very nice of you."

He smiled, picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in his mouth.

The next second, his eyes widened, he coughed violently, and two lines of clear tears streamed down his face.

"It looks ordinary, but it's incredibly spicy and flavorful! What did you add?"

"My brother brewed this himself; it's a secret little seasoning."

Xiao Yun glanced at Zhong Mo in the spectator stands without making a sound, his lips tightly pressed together.

Tie Niu also turned his head to look, and his eyes lit up when he saw Zhong Mo's burly figure:

"Overwhelmingly powerful and dignified, no wonder he can make such a seasoning. I must ask him for his expertise in person someday."

After saying that, he picked up the fried rice again and ate it in big mouthfuls.

In the blink of an eye, he had devoured the entire plate of fried rice.

"Delicious! So delicious!"

Tie Niu exclaimed in admiration, staring at Xiao Yun with a glint in his eyes:

"Is this the fried rice from [Popular Eatery]? Come to think of it, that's the restaurant I challenged when I first entered the dungeon."

"I lacked experience at the time and couldn't get the recipe. I never expected you to get it and add such wonderful seasoning. I'm truly impressed."

Xiao Yun smiled but did not answer.

"Let's continue."

Tie Niu nodded and resumed cooking.

The match went on for a long time, with the two players trading blows and neither gaining the upper hand.

The atmosphere on the field grew increasingly heated, yet also increasingly tense.

Sweat beaded on Xiao Yun's forehead, and his expression grew increasingly serious.

"This guy is experienced and has a lot of recipes; he's a tough opponent."

Tie Niu's face darkened slightly, sensing a hint of pressure.

"This guy may be a newcomer, but he's incredibly talented. There's almost nothing he can't handle. If this drags on... I'm afraid I'll lose!"

The two men's eyes darkened slightly, and they swung their spatulas with all their might, creating flames.

The audience was completely engrossed, even forgetting the betting game, and were captivated by the various delicacies the two had brought out.

Some less enthusiastic diners, unable to control their appetite, rushed into the arena like madmen, eager to taste it all.

However, before he could even touch the food, he was grabbed by the two bloodthirsty individuals and became their food.

Seeing the players turn into food, cooked and eaten by the two, the other viewers were instantly jolted awake, their backs already soaked with cold sweat.

"Their skills have reached such a level that a simple dish can make our appetites go out of control, turning us into food ourselves—it's terrifying!"

"Tie Niu has long been a glutton, with a long period of experience, so it's not surprising that he can achieve this level. But that Xiao Yun, who has only been here for a short time, is actually just as good as him. That's truly astonishing!"

The crowd looked on with awe and kept their distance.

Even in the very heart of the instance, in the magnificent royal court, gazes were cast upon them.

Their gazes were filled with curiosity, excitement, and a strange sense of anticipation.

It's like a hardworking old farmer watching the vegetables growing vigorously in his garden.

In the arena, the two were completely unaware of their surroundings, only their eyes burning with an increasingly intense hunger and their aura growing more restless.

Time ticked by, and both of them were nearing their limits.

Finally, Tie Niu stopped moving.

"You're very strong, really strong. Among the gluttons I know, you're among the top."

He looked at Xiao Yun with admiration in his eyes.

"But now, I'm going to show you my true skills."

As he spoke, he pulled a cookbook from his pocket.

The cover of the recipe book is gold, with four large characters written on it: "The Ultimate Taste of Food".

"[The Ultimate Delicacy]! The Legendary Recipe of the God of Cookery!"

Someone in the audience gasped in surprise.

"Legend has it that this recipe originated from the Eternal Feast Royal Court, and is part of one of the three pillars of the Eternal Feast Court—created by the [God of Cookery] himself!"

"Even five-star diners would find it hard to resist dishes prepared using this recipe!"

Tie Niu grinned and opened the recipe book.

"I got this from a food market. I almost got consumed by my appetite while trying to get this cookbook, and it took me three days to recover."

"Let's use this to end the game today!"

He took a deep breath and began cooking.

His movements were twice as fast as before, the knife flashed, and the ingredients danced in his hands.

Soon, a dish was ready.

It was a soup, the broth was crystal clear, and it had a faint aroma.

"Chicken soup, the Cantonese style, please!"

Tie Niu pushed the soup in front of Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun glanced at it and frowned.

He could sense that the soup contained extremely terrifying energy.

If it were an ordinary person, drinking it would probably cause them to burst instantly, turning them into a monster dominated by hunger and cravings.

But he is no ordinary person.

He picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in his mouth.

The next second, his expression changed.

The moment the soup entered his mouth, Xiao Yun felt as if a fire was burning in his stomach.

The flames spread along the esophagus, shot straight to the top of the head, and then flowed through the blood vessels to the limbs and bones.

"Such powerful energy!"

Xiao Yun was startled, but did not stop.

He ate one mouthful after another, and finally even picked up the pot and drank it all in one gulp.

And as he drank the last sip of soup, his body began to change.

His skin began to redden, as if it had been burned, his breathing became rapid, and an eerie purple light flickered in his eyes.

"He can't hold on much longer!"

Someone in the audience gasped.

Tie Niu also noticed Xiao Yun's change, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"He can't hold on much longer!"

With a wave of his hand, Tie Niu produced dozens of menus, all of which were top-tier dishes from restaurants with at least two stars.

"Kid, you're strong, but compared to us gluttons who've been in dungeons for a long time, you're still too green."

"Consider today a lesson for you. Go back and calm down. Don't be too impulsive, or you might accidentally become food for someone else."

Tie Niu said in a deep voice. Then, his hands flew up and down, leaving afterimages, as if countless hands were operating at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of dishes were laid out in front of Xiao Yun, radiating terrifying energy fluctuations.

"please."

With a confident smile on his face, Tie Niu waved his hand, exuding the demeanor of a master.

Xiao Yun looked at the dishes in front of her and took a deep breath.

He could feel his craving for gluttony surging wildly.

That desire was like a wild beast, rampaging through my body, trying to break free of its restraints.

"This can't go on..."

Xiao Yun gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed his craving for food.

But at that moment, the [Mouth of Gluttony] on its chest suddenly split open, and a large tongue stretched out, scooped up a dish, and put it into its mouth.

"you!"

Xiao Yun's expression changed, and he tried to stop it, but it was too late.

The dish was swallowed by [Gluttony's Mouth], and terrifying energy exploded within its body.

Xiao Yun felt as if his body was about to split open; the excruciating pain almost made him faint.

"Kid, it's just a competition. There's no need to fight so hard for a little bit of real satiety."

Tie Niu frowned slightly and gave a deep, reassuring advice.

Although we are competitors, we are also players struggling to survive in this world, so there's no need to go too far.

"If you lose this match today, you can try again tomorrow. You have great potential and there's still a chance to successfully complete the dungeon."

But suddenly, Xiao Yun raised his head and chuckled softly:

"When you first became a Glutton... you lost too, right? How come I never saw you hone your skills and clear the dungeons?"

"There are other gluttons, some of whom are more experienced than you and have more recipes, but so far, why hasn't anyone cleared the game, or even successfully challenged a single boss in the Eternal Feast Court?"

Tie Niu's eyes darkened slightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed across his face:

"You don't know anything. This place is very complicated. Even if someone from the sixth sequence came, let alone the seventh sequence, they would have a hard time passing through."

"Anyway, I've already advised you. Whether you admit defeat or not is up to you."

"Also, let me remind you that you've eaten too much food in this competition. If you suffer a complete defeat, the backlash you'll endure will be outrageously severe. Even if you're exceptionally talented, you'll succumb to endless hunger and cravings."
