Film and Television World Life Record

After thinking for a while, I finally decided to use the extra choice I had from the special reward and selected ten small popularity gatherers.

After receiving them, the ten small popularity-gathering devices did not become physical; they remained illusory.

According to the instructions, Li Mu can simply walk into the store and choose to use it; there is no complicated process required, which is quite convenient.

Chapter 98 Transformation into a Big Eater

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Li Mu was awakened by hunger.

With his stomach growling loudly, feeling so hungry he could eat a whole cow, he reluctantly got up, washed up, and went downstairs.

There was a breakfast stall nearby, and I ate three baskets of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) in a row, and I was only half full. I looked around and thankfully, it was only three baskets, so no one noticed. If I had kept eating, things might have gotten worse.

After thinking about it, I simply packed five steamers of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), two cups of soy milk, and two cups of eight-treasure porridge.

After leaving the breakfast shop, Li Mu ate steamed buns one after another and slowly walked towards the nearby park. Although the system would be modifying his body in the next few days, it was necessary to maintain the habit of exercising.

By the time they reached the park, Li Mu had finished all the steamed buns in his hand. He patted his stomach, feeling barely full.

After running for several kilometers along the park, Li Mu found a secluded corner and began practicing the San Ti Shi, the most important foundational skill of Xingyi Quan.

Having trained for two years in the world of film and television, I'm already extremely skilled. Although my physical martial arts foundation in the real world isn't great, with the support of my extensive experience, I've managed to train to a respectable level.

I practiced for over an hour, and then my stomach started growling again. Okay, I'm hungry again.

This digestive ability is amazing!

There happened to be a fairly large breakfast shop next to the park, so Li Mu rested for a while and then went over there.

There were already quite a few guests inside, and the breakfast selection was quite extensive.

However, Li Mu thought about his current appetite and decided to pack the leftovers to go; eating here would be too outrageous.

Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, egg pancakes, tea eggs, steamed dumplings, shumai... Li Mu directly asked the shop assistant to pack breakfast for fifteen people.

After leaving the store, carrying a large bag of breakfast, I ate as I slowly walked home.

When he got home, he had already eaten a third of the large bag of breakfast.

It took another twenty minutes or so to finish the rest of the breakfast in a flash.

Li Mu was also stunned by his own eating speed and appetite. Even if the body modification required a lot of nutrition and energy support, this was too exaggerated.

I patted my bloated belly, hoping it would last a little longer and not be completely digested in an hour or two.

After using the restroom and staying at home for a while, Li Mu noticed it was getting late and went downstairs to drive to the coffee shop.

Upon arrival, as expected, business was still slow. The 200-square-meter shop had hardly any customers, and the few employees were bored out of their minds.

Li Mu didn't say much. He greeted them, ordered a coffee as usual, picked out a book he liked from the bookshelf, and lazily leaned back on the fabric sofa, sipping his coffee and reading.

I let my mind wander for a while, and it was really quiet, not a single guest had come in for so long.

Li Mu opened the system, found the ten small popularity gathering devices he had been rewarded with, focused his gaze on the coffee shop, studied them carefully for a while, and then silently recited the instructions to use them.

System: Based on the assessment, the target coffee shop can use 1 small crowd-gathering device.

Should we use it?

Li Mu chose to use it, and the next moment, it was as if an invisible halo enveloped the entire coffee shop before disappearing.

Looking around, the coffee shop was exactly the same as before, unchanged. The staff were still chatting quietly, clearly unable to see the halo of light from before.

After observing for a moment, Li Mu returned to his relaxed state, took a sip of coffee, and began to lean back on the fabric sofa to read quietly.

But then, the whole store seemed to come alive, with customers walking in from time to time, and the customer traffic increased several times over.

Unfortunately, it was too deserted before, and even after several times the increase, it has only just reached the normal level.

Seeing how amazing the small crowd-gathering device was, Li Mu consulted the system again to see if he could use a few more in the coffee shop.

The result, of course, is no.

This small crowd-gathering device is only effective for shops with low foot traffic; it has no effect on shops with normal or high foot traffic.

Furthermore, the number of small crowd-gathering devices used in a store needs to be evaluated based on the size of the store and the type of business.

For a coffee shop of Li Mu's size, one is enough, and there are even some left over that would be wasted. Why would they need several?

Therefore, they had no choice but to give up.

……

Before 11 a.m., Li Mu left the coffee shop with a bitter expression. His stomach was growling again, and although he had been holding back for a while, he couldn't bear it any longer.

His body was signaling hunger that he needed to eat to replenish his energy and nutrients.

I drove to a nearby restaurant and ordered seven or eight dishes within a reasonable range. We devoured them all in no time, but I was only half full.

Even so, the waiter looked at him with surprise. Such a large appetite, even after carrying bricks on a construction site all day, that's about all he could eat.

Li Mu reluctantly paid the bill and left the restaurant. He drove a short distance and found another restaurant, which he then went inside.

Under the waiter's astonished gaze, he devoured the entire table of food in a flash, patted his somewhat full stomach, and said, "Mmm, I'm finally full."

Hopefully it can last a little longer, so I don't get hungry again in less than two hours.

……

After returning home and taking a short nap, Li Mu went to the media room and started watching TV series. He didn't plan to go out in the afternoon.

But man proposes, God disposes. It was just past three o'clock when my stomach started growling again, and I was hungry again.

I wanted to go downstairs to find a restaurant to eat, but I was too lazy to go, so I had no choice but to order takeout.

After finishing off the takeout for five or six people, Li Mu pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth. He was finally not hungry anymore, but he couldn't say he was full.

All I can say is that I can hold out for another hour.

Around 5 p.m., I started to feel hungry again.

Li Mu sighed helplessly, wondering why he had thought that eating was a better way to replenish energy and nutrients and improve his body!

That kind of method where you just add a little something and your body instantly becomes stronger is so much easier. Unlike him, who spends all day eating. If this happened in ancient times, anyone with a meager family fortune would definitely be eaten into poverty by him.

Li Mu went downstairs, got in his car, and left the residential area. This time, he didn't plan to go to a restaurant; it would be too much trouble to go back and forth between different places to get a full meal.

I remember there was a street a few kilometers away with many cooked food vendors. The local residents loved to go there, so they might as well buy some cooked food to take home and eat.

He stepped on the gas and arrived at the destination. The street wasn't big, but there were seven or eight delicatessens, and it was quite crowded. Li Mu looked around for a moment and then plunged in.

We ordered three pork knuckles, each weighing two or three pounds; two each of braised chicken and braised duck; three pounds of freshly braised pig's head, which we asked the shop to cut and mix; two pounds of braised beef; and two large portions of freshly stewed braised pork.

We also bought a lot of various kinds of cold seasonal vegetables. Finally, we bought a few pounds of steamed buns and more than ten pounds of fruit. Carrying a big bag of things, we returned to the car and breathed a sigh of relief.

With so much food, there should be enough for today's meal.

At 11 p.m., Li Mu finished the last piece of braised beef. He had already devoured all the food he had bought in the evening.

I patted my full belly, feeling so comfortable!

After taking a shower and lying in bed, Li Mu felt that much of what he had eaten had been digested, and he wondered where all that food had gone.

Although I went to the toilet a few times today, it was nothing compared to all the food I ate.

However, considering the energy and nutrients needed to transform the body, okay, we'll continue tomorrow. The more energy consumed, the better the transformation of the body will be.

Chapter 99 Reborn

Early in the morning, Li Mu was still woken up by hunger. After getting up and washing up, he went downstairs to have breakfast and then went to the park to exercise, just like yesterday.

However, he also came to a realization that night: there was no need to be negative about the need to eat a lot of food every day to replenish energy and nutrients, or to treat it as a task and develop unnecessary rebellious feelings.

From another perspective, you can enjoy delicious food all day long without worrying about gaining weight or feeling stuffed. The more you eat, the better your health will be.

Where else can you find such a good deal?

Approach this with an attitude of enjoyment; if you treat it as something to be done or to complete a task, the whole experience will be different.

Just imagine, Shangdu is a metropolis with tens of millions of people; how many delicious foods await him to taste, how many delicacies await his discovery. He never had the leisure or the time before, and his stomach couldn't hold much of that knowledge.

Running more than ten kilometers to enjoy delicious food doesn't seem worthwhile.

Now I have plenty of time, my stomach is empty, and I can eat all day without any problems. What an excellent and enviable condition!

It would be a waste not to become a food exploration expert.

Having thought all this through, Li Mu returned home from the park, took a shower, changed into some clean clothes, and drove straight out of the neighborhood to begin his culinary adventure.

He wasn't aimless; he mainly referenced major review websites, local food bloggers, and various content creators' restaurant review videos.

For him, whether it's a Michelin three-star restaurant, a trendy eatery, or a hole-in-the-wall eatery, as long as the food tastes good, it doesn't make much difference; he'll try it whenever he comes across one.

That day, Li Mu drove around the surrounding streets and alleys, visited fifteen restaurants, and tried all their signature dishes. He didn't drive home until 10 p.m.

"So comfortable..."

The next day, Li Mu drove to another nearby district, ate at eighteen restaurants in one day, and didn't get home until 11 p.m.

"readily!"

On the third day, Li Mu drove more than 20 kilometers away, ate at 17 different restaurants, and didn't get home until almost midnight.

"Cool…"
