“Xiao Jing is the head chef. I’m the only one at this entrance. There are many waiters serving food inside. Xiao Jing said this is a job only I can do,” Wang Zi said with no small amount of pride. “Ah, the dishes suitable for the Sky Clan are in the area on the left. There are recommended dishes hanging there. Please enjoy your meal.”

"Okay, thanks. We'll go in now."

"Hey, the Sky Clan guys went in."

Meanwhile, the monsters were still scrolling through Weibo on their phones.

"Wait, we found it! It really is there, that human on the scarf? Qin Jing said it's free, any monster can participate as long as they are a student of the school."

"Is that the human who got into the middle school district this year?"

"Rumors are indeed unreliable!"

"Yes, humans seem to be quite stupid, but we're not turtles."

"Well, it wouldn't be good to pass up a good deal."

The monsters exchanged glances, chuckled, and entered the venue for the food festival.

There are quite a few monsters like this, and they all come here attracted by the scent.

"Delicious! What is this?! It's so delicious!"

"This flavor, this cake has our favorite alfalfa in it, why! It's so delicious!"

"Who made this? It's completely different from what you buy in stores. It feels like I'm back in my hometown eating my mom's cooking."

Ah, this is the feeling of wanting to marry her!

Besides ordinary students, there were also food connoisseurs who had snuck in after hearing about the commotion.

"The chef who came up with this dish is a genius! What an amazing idea!" The clown rabbit gourmet swallowed the snack specially recommended for rabbit monsters with great emotion.

"I lost... but it was so sweet, wonderful, and satisfying. I understand why Teacher Mimi admires that human so much."

"We lost... This meat is not only fresh but also has the delicious flavor of being carefully cooked."

“I lost…I lost as a woman.”

The three yokai girls in the cooking club were originally very picky about food, but after tasting Qin Jing's cooking, they had to admit how powerful it was.

"Is it really that amazing?" Alice, who was wandering around the venue, heard the food critics' comments, even though she herself was also eating non-stop.

Inside the cooking classroom, the atmosphere was bustling with activity, as Qin Jing, Jing, and Momo, the teachers, were all busy at the stoves.

Qianqian and Nannan directed various monsters and machines to help transport ingredients in, wash, chop, and peel vegetables.

Taking a moment to catch a glimpse of the gradually bustling scene outside the window, Qin Jing nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems to be going very smoothly. I wonder what the other side is like," Teacher Mimi said.

"There's a guy over there eating pork. Is that your relative from millions of years ago?"

“Then I’ll eat lion meat; it’s his relative from millions of years ago.”

"Why isn't there any gorilla meat? I heard it tastes a lot like Tang Sanzang's flesh."

"..." On the field, all the gorillas glared at them, including the muscular giant gorilla who was maintaining order.

"!!!"

"Waaah, I'm sorry!" The pig demon, startled by his slip of the tongue, took two steps back and said.

Nan Nan walked over with a wrench and spoke to the pig demon, word by word.

"Listen carefully. Although we yokai have been a bipedal species for tens of millions of years and are no longer related to ordinary animals, in order to consider the feelings of some yokai, we will not provide foods such as turtles, mushrooms, and earthworms that might cause discomfort due to associations! It's best not to make jokes like that! Understand?"

"Yes...we're sorry, we know!" the pig demons said, bowing their heads in apology.

Aside from these little farces, the other monsters ate very happily.

Qin Jing took into account the special preferences of various demon races and specially developed dishes and snacks for them, which were well received by the demons.

Teacher Mimi's desserts are already one of the most famous foods in the academy, and Whale's preparation of seafood is also an exquisite delicacy.

I was busy from before dawn until noon, and finally finished cooking all the dishes.

All that's left is unlimited glutinous rice balls, steamed rice with meat, corn, wheat and beans, as well as noodles and vermicelli to keep you full.

So, Qin Jing, now with some free time, took the microphone and went to the venue to begin her speech. She talked about the benefits of monsters and humans getting along well, and how delicious dishes like these could be made in a food-loving country like China, where food documentaries can be a nationwide sensation. With the help of chefs, there would be as many as you wanted!

Qin Jing spoke at length, while the monsters on the field continued to feast heartily.

Section 191, Chapter 07: The Literature Club is the Games Club

Qin Jing thought that these monsters would at least remember the benefits of this meal, change their misunderstanding of him, and understand the advantages of getting along well with humans.

But in fact, there is none.

"Oh, oh!" Alice, who had witnessed everything Qin Jing had done, clapped her hands repeatedly. She had indeed misunderstood Xiao Jing. She hadn't expected that Xiao Jing would not only have ideals, but also take practical actions to realize them.

"What did that human say?" the feline monster said to its companion.

"I didn't hear either, I don't know. Anyway, we're full, let's go," the monster said to its companions.

“Yes, it’s so annoying to have them chattering in your ears while you’re eating. Let’s go.” The feline monster agreed, and they left together.

"Roar! Too noisy! Get out of here!" The bear demon roared irritably after being disturbed while eating.

"Yeah! Humans are talking nonsense we can't understand! They're as noisy as flies!" the other monsters shouted angrily.

"Hey... watch out, the other side is human, you know."

"What! Those rumors are completely unbelievable. He's just a mascot-like guy."

"No, I mean watch out behind you."

"Behind us?" The monsters turned around in confusion.

They saw two figures, one in black and one in green, Wolf God Momo and Falcon Green, looking in their direction, emanating terrifying killing intent.

"...Have you all had enough to eat?"

"Yes, it's about time we withdrew."

"Hmm, we're all stuffed. Let's go for a walk to digest!" One by one, the monsters, sweating profusely, put down their plates and slunk away.

Qin Jing stood alone in the same spot, a cool breeze carrying away the withered leaves, and she felt a sense of desolation.

"Qin Jing, thank you for your hospitality, it was really delicious!"

"Ah... Lily of the Valley, Wang Ryan, you didn't hear what I was saying either, did you?" Qin Jing asked.

"What? I've been busy helping Xiaolanlan prepare delicious alfalfa dishes."

"Sorry, Xiaojing, I was actually busy feeding Xiao Wangwang meat."

"That's enough, you can leave now." Qin Jing waved her hand dejectedly.

"It's really delicious! This is the first time I've ever had something like this."

"If the restaurant sells it, let's go eat there later," the Sky Clan monsters discussed.

The monsters ignored Qin Jing's speech on stage, and after eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they patted their big bellies and turned to leave.

"...Wait..." Qin Jing stood alone up there, wanting to persuade them to stay, but not knowing what to say. It was so lively when they were eating, but they left right after they finished.

You people worked hard for several days to organize this event, and you didn't even listen to a single word before just packing your bags and leaving?

He's being too naive. Generally speaking, no one thinks about how good the chef is after a meal. To think that after eating one meal with the chef, one is hooked, infatuated with the chef, and can't live without them—that's like being drugged.

At this moment, a pig demon returned.

Qin Jing looked at her classmate with hope. "Bajie! You're the only one with a conscience. At least his hard work wasn't completely wasted."

"Ah, if they hold an event like this again next time, I'll definitely come again." The pig demon picked his teeth, waved to Qin Jing, and then turned and left.

"I don't know how to do it!" Qin Jing pounded the ground in anguish.

However, Ms. Mimi was approached by many students.

"Teacher, we love cooking, please let us join the cooking club."

"I had no idea that ingredients could taste so good after being processed."

Thus... the food festival, intended as a way to promote cuisine, was perfectly completed, but Qin Jing's goal of winning over the monsters completely failed.

"..." Alice looked at Qin Jing as if she were seeing a lone knight who was pursuing his ideals but no one understood him.

"No! We absolutely can't give up like this!" Qin Jing rallied herself, picked up the microphone, and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, don't leave yet! There are still activities this afternoon!" Qin Jing gestured for Qianqian and Nannan to move out, so the gorillas were either controlling robots or carrying tables to clear a space.

"Activity?"

Are there any other events?

What activities are there?

"The monsters asked."

The so-called event was never planned at all, but Qin Jing decided to go all out. Wasn't it all about making the monsters understand humans and letting them know human habits?

"This activity is about playing human games with humans!!!" Qin Jing shouted loudly, her face flushed red.

"........."

"..."

The entire room fell silent.

"...What are you thinking? Isn't this just asking everyone to play with you?" The look in his friends' eyes conveyed this meaning.

"Xiao Jing... playing together doesn't really count as an activity, you know?" Even Wang Zi next to her looked at Qin Jing with a strange expression.

"It's okay, even if it's embarrassing, Jing, I still love you." Whale looked at her with loving eyes.

The monsters looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This seems quite interesting!"

"Let's join in!"

"This looks interesting. Let's stay and take a look."

The dozens of monsters who were preparing returned.

"Huh? Could this be a shill hired by the boss? Are there really any monsters interested?" Wenwen said with an incredulous look.

"Speaking of which, although Xiao Jing seems very ordinary to us, humans are actually very rare in the demon realm, just like pandas are loved by the public," Yu Li, who rarely goes out, said thoughtfully.

"Well, it's probably because we see each other so often that the mystery has disappeared. Anyway, tomorrow's big news is confirmed." Wenwen said with a laugh, looking at Qin Jing's expression as she spread her arms wide in the camera's view, making a declaration of playing human games with humans.

"It seems that humans are still quite popular among the other students at the academy, which is why the rumors about them are so widespread." Yu Li nodded.

"Then I want to play too!" Wangzi ran up to the other monsters as they walked toward Qin Jing.

"Xiaojing, I want to play too!" Momo waved her hand and went over.

"Xiao Jing, you'll be in my group." Junqing suddenly appeared and hugged Qin Jing, saying this.

And so the event officially began.

"So, humans! What do you want to play?"

"Besides going into heat, what other games have humans played?"

On one hand, the monsters were indeed curious about the way humans played games. On the other hand, humans are fragile creatures, with little strength and low jumping ability. Their only advantage, endurance, is rendered meaningless because they don't know how to utilize spiritual energy.

They figured the game wouldn't be difficult for humans, since they were already invincible, and it would be fun to mess with human mascots.

Qin Jing really wanted to say that felines should go roll balls, canines should go pick up bones, and bird monsters should just squat on the ground and pick up breadcrumbs, but she felt like she would get beaten up if she dared to say that.

"Hmm... what can we do here now, like throwing beanbags?" Qin Jing thought for a moment and said:

"Oh! You lost it? Then come and play this!"

"Although I don't quite understand, let's just go with this."

The confident monsters agreed.

Under Qin Jing's guidance, they quickly brought out a sewn-up small cloth bag filled with sand.

The monsters were divided into two groups, and they decided on the teams by playing rock-paper-scissors.

Wang Zi was assigned to another group, while Qin Jing stayed with Mo Mo and Jun Qing.
