Kiana suddenly thought of her old squad leader, Fu Hua. It's very likely that Fu Hua's body didn't develop properly because she hadn't eaten for so many years since she couldn't cook. Look at Fu Hua, once she got the nutrition she needed, her development was even faster than Seele's, although Seele's body stopped growing due to the special nature of her quantum abilities.
"This is a bitter melon and pork rib soup that I made according to a recipe. It can replenish qi, nourish blood, clear heat, detoxify, nourish yin and kidneys, and improve palpitations, insomnia, excessive dreaming, irritability and anger caused by heart yin deficiency..."
Mei looked at Kiana, who was being picky about food, and tried to persuade her with earnest words.
Even at that age, Kiana's picky eating habits haven't changed, which is really worrying.
"Ah... I'll drink it! I'll drink it, okay?!"
Upon hearing Mei about to launch into another long-winded explanation of the benefits of soup, Kiana quickly picked up her bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Despite her excellent physical condition, Mei still keeps nagging. As expected, the captain was right when he said Mei's nickname "cooking lady".
"Hmm? It doesn't seem too bitter."
Kiana, having finished her soup in one gulp, put down her bowl and blinked in confusion.
Although it was a bit bitter when it first entered the pot, just like before, it tasted pretty good after drinking it all in one go. The soup had a slightly fermented sour taste and a light salty taste, which made her feel very hungry and want to eat something else.
Kiana didn't have time to savor the moment; she immediately picked up her chopsticks and started fighting with Nian and the others for the remaining food. None of them were ordinary eaters; they ate incredibly fast. If they didn't restrain themselves, a plate of food would be gone in just a few bites. With so many people grabbing at it, the amount of food on the table was simply not enough!
The two racehorse girls, Miyu and Megumi, were also diligently eating. Miyu was used to burying her head in her rice when in doubt, while Megumi had no idea what to say and could only eat.
She became acquainted with Mi Yu here. Megumi McQueen, who had not had the same experience as Mi Yu, did not have much of a relationship with the others. At most, they would chat about the differences between their world and the world of others.
She wasn't discriminated against, but she wasn't valued either; she was just treated as an ordinary companion.
However, the food these people make is really delicious.
Even though they are now rivals in love, she has to admire these people who can cook all kinds of delicious food. In the past two days, she has tasted almost all the delicious food she has never eaten before. Judging from what everyone said, they can cook many more delicious dishes.
McQueen looked at the fragrant and tender chicken feet on his chopsticks, and touched his slightly bulging belly with his free hand, which was already swollen from eating too much.
As the eldest daughter of the Mejiro family, Mejiro McQueen possessed a sculpted figure with a divine beauty. She had no intention of comparing her physique with those in front of her; in her eyes, their bodies were already distorted.
But... Megumi McQueen put down the chicken feet and looked at the desserts not far from her—pumpkin and taro paste, rice cakes, ginger milk curd...
Megumi McQueen forced himself to swallow hard, trying to resist the particularly tempting aroma of desserts in the air.
How about... I eat a little more?
Since she's already eaten so much, she'll go for a run to lose weight after she finishes this meal!
Chapter 175. Are Three Sisters No Better Than Twins?
"Everyone, take your time eating. There's still some left in the kitchen, so there's no need to rush."
Seeing Kiana and the others completely disregarding their image, Mei had no choice but to offer a helpless reminder.
There were still some dishes prepared in the kitchen, but everyone ate them not to fill their stomachs, but to savor the taste, so there wasn't enough.
Their appearance isn't suitable for cooking large, filling dishes, but they also can't make that many elaborately prepared dishes.
Even if they have many chefs, the kitchen doesn't have enough stoves to satisfy more than twenty big eaters.
Those like Seele and Ayaka, who only ate small portions, were fine, but most people ate quite a lot. As for the Raiden-style characters, although their eating movements weren't as wild as Kiana's, they still ate their food one after another at a similar pace.
"Don't worry, Mei, they'll actually enjoy it even more if they eat it like this."
Li Chaoge ate his meal at a leisurely pace, watching Kiana and the others grab food while eating with great interest.
Children are actually the same way. When no one is around to eat, they are picky eaters, but when they see someone taking food from them, they become protective of their food and eat with relish.
The dishes are the same, but whether there are people around or not, the feeling is very different.
"Well... okay then."
Mei looked at Kiana, who was laughing and joking with Heinrich, Exusiai, and Kurumi, and shook her head helplessly, saying nothing more.
Upon closer inspection, Kiana does indeed smile much more now.
Many things in the game's setting information in this world are different from their experiences. Alicia did not become the thirteenth Herrscher, and Himeko did not die, but Kiana still went through a lot, and the smile on her face was rarely as bright as it is now.
Now, Kiana is probably only so carefree when she's with the captain, as if she's returned to her days at St. Freya Academy.
"Mei, you don't need to worry so much. Look at Paimon, he's just as happy as her, isn't that great?"
Li Chaoge smiled at Mei and gestured for her to look at Paimon, who was trying to snatch food from the group of gluttons on the table.
He knew that Mei liked to worry about these mundane family matters. Most people's lives revolve around three meals a day, and everything else is built on that foundation and pursued gradually.
However, worrying every day about whether everyone has enough to eat or isn't eating well is undoubtedly just adding to your own troubles. Mei's cooking isn't bad at all; no matter how much she makes, these foodies will devour it all.
"Yeah, yeah, Chaoge, you should eat too, before everyone else finishes eating!"
Mei looked at Paimon, who was stuffing food into her mouth with her little hands, both of which were covered in grease. However, despite Paimon's efforts, she couldn't keep up with the speed at which the other girls were grabbing food.
"Paimon, don't worry about your brother. If he gets hungry, do you think someone will immediately make him a meal?"
Looking at the plate of food that had been half-eaten in a short time, and then at Lucia and Mei who kept putting food into Li Chaoge's almost full rice bowl, Ying pouted.
Mei blushed slightly at Ying's words, feeling that Ying was talking about her, but it seemed wrong for her to refute, since Ying had not named her specifically.
Lucia, who was sitting next to Li Chaoge with Mei, kept an eye on what Li Chaoge liked to eat and offered to pick it for him, her expression remained unchanged.
Ying is right. She cooks for the Commander when he's hungry. What's wrong with that? It's a perfectly normal thing.
"Yeah, it's true what they say, comparisons are odious! Hey! Stop fighting over it! I haven't even eaten this yet!"
Paimon was taken aback, then his envy turned into appetite, and he tried his best to protect the last bit of pork knuckle on a plate right under Heinrich's nose.
"Hehe, then I'll give it to Paimon."
Hu Tao licked the juice off her fair fingers with a grin, then turned her gaze to the other food on the table.
This was the first time she had ever eaten so much delicious food. She had never tasted so many different kinds of food at once, even at Xiangling's place in Wanmintang. And this was just an ordinary meal in Chaoge!
It's truly enviable! No wonder Chaoge always eats so leisurely, as if she's tried everything delicious.
"With so many snacks and fruits at home, why would I need them to cook another meal for me?"
Seeing that Ying seemed to have gotten jealous again, Li Chaoge swallowed the sweet and sour fish in his mouth and smiled helplessly.
It wasn't because he thought that if he wasn't full, Lucia and Belfast could make him some more, that he was so relaxed watching everyone fight over food.
He simply enjoyed watching everyone happily eating together; this dreamlike scene was something he had once fantasized about, especially after getting hit by knives in various games.
He understood that tragedy is more impactful than comedy. If the screenwriter didn't tear down beautiful things for him to see, he might not have cared so much about them, or wanted to salvage the tragedy and save them.
Thankfully, they are all doing well now. Although there have been ups and downs, those who are meant to be here are still here.
Looking at their bright smiles, Li Chaoge lowered her head and gently pinched the cheek of the little girl in her arms.
"Hmm, Dad, let's grab some food from everyone too, it looks like so much fun!"
Sigma sat on Li Chaoge's lap, swinging her slender and beautiful legs. Seeing everyone excitedly watching the vegetable-grabbing game, she tugged at Li Chaoge's arm and looked up expectantly.
She really wanted to join in the fun since everyone was having so much fun, but she couldn't eat it all, and it wouldn't be fun if she just grabbed food without eating it herself, so she had to ask her dad to go and play too.
Yes! What belongs to her father is hers; if her father plays with it, it's the same as her playing with it!
"Hmm... then Sigma, help me steal it."
Looking down at the adorable Sigma, Li Chaoge thought for a moment and then kissed her fair and smooth forehead.
Because the dining table isn't the kind that can be rotated like in hotels and restaurants, each person can only pick up what's in front of them. People like Kiana and the others would stand up and reach for their chopsticks from time to time. He didn't care about table manners; he just wanted to enjoy the meal.
However, it was inconvenient for him to do this while holding Sigma, so having Sigma help was a way to let her have some fun. It would also prevent Sigma from getting bored by watching them all alone since she couldn't eat.
"Yay! Sigma joins the battle!"
Upon hearing Li Chaoge's words, Sigma's face lit up with joy. He immediately stood up excitedly from Li Chaoge's arms, his delicate, fair, bare feet stepping onto Li Chaoge's thigh.
"Sigma, I can't eat my food like this. Go and grab some food from them. If you see something that looks better, just take it from them."
Li Chaoge found it amusing to see Sigma, who was propping his hands on the table to pick up food.
"Oh right, Dad, wait for me, I'm going to grab some vegetables right now!"
Sigma quickly got off Li Chaoge, his spotless bare feet stepping directly onto the ground, and excitedly ran towards Hu Tao Heinrich and the others.
"Wow! Captain, what's wrong with you! You promised not to participate in the battle!"
"Boss, you actually sent your daughter! How are we supposed to compete now?!"
"That's it!"
Kiana and the others didn't expect Li Chaoge to let Sigma join them, because Li Chaoge didn't allow everyone to compete. Most of the time, they would find various gentler ways to compete, such as playing games, racing cars, or eating.
Now that Sigma has gotten involved, given their relationship with Li Chaoge, Li Chaoge's daughter is their daughter too. How could they possibly compete with Sigma for her? If they don't compete, once Sigma gets close to them, it will undoubtedly be considered an admission of defeat.
"......"
Li Chaoge was speechless. It seemed that they were playing around instead of eating, as if they were wolfing down their food.
However, Li Chaoge didn't argue with them and reminded Sigma, "Sigma, don't take too much, I won't be able to finish eating it all."
His digestive ability is nowhere near theirs; all I can say is that he can eat and drink more than before, and his body is much stronger.
To fight them at this stage, he mainly relies on the energy provided by the Source Cube to use Command Spells to heal himself. If he were to rely entirely on himself, it would probably be a very long time, given their sheer number.
"Dad, I understand!"
Sigma had already run back from next to Kiana with a plate of food, put the plate down in front of Li Chaoge, and nodded his little head as he ran towards Mecharo McQueen.
Seeing this, Megumi McQueen, who was chewing on his dessert and hesitating whether to take another "small" bite, quickly put a portion of each of the desserts next to him in front of him, so that he wouldn't run out of food later.
Mi Yu, who had almost finished eating, couldn't help but lower her head and cover her mouth to chuckle when she saw this. She had arrived a few days earlier than Megumi McQueen, but she had already learned enough lessons. She should not talk too much while eating and should finish what she wanted to eat quickly, otherwise the other big eaters would definitely take away the food that she wanted to eat but dared not eat with a smile.
Actually, she was a little worried that her overeating might affect her figure and weight. During the few days she spent with her brother, she found that her training frequency had decreased a lot. Apart from running in the morning, she spent most of her time playing and eating with everyone.
But after having her sister Platinum test her, she found that her scores had actually improved. After some testing, she realized that it wasn't because her skills had improved, but simply because her physical fitness had increased.
Despite her unhealthy lifestyle, spending all her time playing with her brother both day and night, she actually runs even faster than before.
Although she didn't quite understand why, she truly put aside her worries and ate her rice with a clear conscience.
"It's really lively here..."
Selena sat on the other side of Lucia, silently watching this harmonious scene.
Because there were only a few lively ones, even though they kept talking while eating, Mei, Lucia, and Ayaka mostly just smiled and ate silently, only saying a word or two occasionally. So even though the laughter at the table never stopped, it wasn't too noisy.
The charisma of a commander... I wonder what the commander did in other worlds to make so many people willing to accept this situation.
Lucia didn't have as many delicate thoughts as Selena. She just kept her head down and ate her meal quietly, occasionally glancing at Li Chaoge's bowl to put some food on his plate. Her black hair was draped over her shoulders, making her fair and delicate face look exceptionally beautiful.
Although her simple and honest nature is often apparent when she speaks.
"Commander, are you here to learn how to fight?"
When Lucia heard everyone talking about Li Chaoge's training while they were eating, she looked up at Li Chaoge and asked hesitantly in a low voice.
"Do you also want to be like Ying Ruizhao and the others, pessimistic about it?"
Li Chaoge turned to look at Lucia's hesitant expression and asked with a smile.
Compared to summoning people from various worlds with cheat codes, learning martial arts skills and experience is undoubtedly a time-consuming, laborious, and thankless task.
With so many people protecting him, why would he need to consider going into battle himself?
That makes sense. If he, who is being cared for by everyone, were to put himself in danger, it would only make others worry. However, he felt that he should still learn something, no matter what.
He has so many opportunities to improve himself, yet he never learns anything and just lives a life of luxury and comfort. He is undoubtedly a fool.
The Source Cube and Command Seals improve his foundation, but if he doesn't learn anything, he'll probably end up like a spoiled brat from a third-rate gang, who, despite his wealth, is always getting beaten up by a penniless protagonist.
He never lay down when he was just an ordinary person or Qingge's brother. Now that so many people love him, how can he possibly give up?
"Of course not!"
Lucia quickly shook her head. Although she knew that the commander should not go to the front line, as going to the front line usually meant that the commander would be injured, there were many times when the commander had no choice but to go.
In situations like these, the stronger the commander, the easier it is for them to protect themselves.
"I... what I meant was that the Commander can come to me if he has any problems. Although I may not be as strong as him, I have a lot of experience."
Lucia glanced at the group at the table who seemed oblivious to their continued playfulness and whispered to Li Chaoge.
"Yes, I will. I'm very greedy, how could I not learn all your skills?"
Li Chaoge smiled and nodded. If he didn't feel that he wasn't so omnipotent, he would have loved to learn all of everyone's abilities.
When facing an enemy, start with an Angel Reconstruction Floating Cannon for continuous bombardment, then unleash a Wuxiang One-Slash to sweep everything away, and finally finish with the Flame King Sword or the Void Sword God. Just thinking about it is exciting.
Unfortunately, their abilities are all related to the Herrscher Core. Even if he were a Herrscher, he wouldn't have a Herrscher Core to use.
"Ah."
