Break the baked flatbread into small pieces and soak them in the fish soup. With each bite, you get the crispy crust of the flatbread and the sweet flavor of the fish soup.

Combined with the naturally invigorating effects of flying fish meat, this is even more irresistible than classic soy milk and fried dough sticks.

The allure of the delicious food was so strong that no one was excited about Gray's successful awakening of his superpowers.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and when they were almost finished eating, two people in the corner of the table whispered to each other.

Bai Mengyan had already noticed, and nudged Leng Yuexiu with her elbow, "They seem to have something to say."

Leng Yuexiu didn't take it seriously. "Don't worry about it. They'll definitely ask if they need anything."

Niu Erzhu kept urging Cheng Lu, who was sitting next to him, and pleaded in a low voice, "Sister Lu, please ask for me. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Where else can we find sharp-toothed flying fish?"

Cheng Lu subtly pushed away Niu Erzhu's hand that was trying to pry her off. "Shut up, will you? We just finished eating and everyone's still here. You're already so impatient. When did you become so interested in cooking?"

Niu Erzhu looked aggrieved. "Who knew mutated creatures would taste so good? We've already eaten all the mutated rat jerky we had last time. Do you think we'll have another chance to get some?"

"Moreover, the quality of the sharp-toothed flying fish here is better than that of the mutated rat jerky. Of course, we should store some of this stuff."

He said dejectedly, "When I was at the club, there was no food, and I was so hungry that I couldn't even sleep. I would give up all dignity and face in order to get a bite to eat, just hoping to beg a bite from someone else."

"Many girls are forced to sell themselves, and some boys even hate themselves for not being girls so that they can easily get food."

He recalled his time at the club, watching as the seemingly stable order crumbled.

If Leng Yuexiu, Bai Mengyan, and their team hadn't settled there, no one would know what kind of life he'd be living now.

Therefore, Niu Erzhu was especially grateful. Whenever he had time, he would research weapons suitable for his teammates. In addition, since he was awakened to the fire element, he also took on the tasks of cooking and providing stable logistics.

On one hand, he was afraid they would abandon him, and on the other hand, he really wanted to do his best to do something for the team and his teammates.

Cheng Lu's water system was perfect for his cooking, and the two became even closer. Niu Erzhu was also happy to stick close to Cheng Lu, his older sister.

He longed to continue being Bai Mengyan's little follower. Whether it was admiration or love, he always felt he wasn't good enough, not even worthy of following behind her. Gradually, he stopped daring to approach her.

Cheng Lu sighed. Seeing that someone was looking at them curiously, she lowered her voice and advised, "Erzhu, I completely understand how you feel."

"But everyone is still eating, so it would be very impolite to make such a request so abruptly."

Team Leader Leng suggested that Gray might be able to lure the fish back, but that wouldn't be easy. The bottom of the pool connects to an underground river, and the area is too vast. Making this suggestion could very well create difficulties.

"And think about it, this sharp-toothed flying fish not only tastes good, but also has so many advantages. If we need to stock up, Captain Leng will definitely make plans. He is much more thoughtful than you. Don't be impatient, just wait and see."

Cheng Lu has experienced the ups and downs of the entertainment industry. Although "martial arts actresses" are relatively rare among actresses, she still faces various forms of suppression and underhanded tactics.

She has a good grasp of concepts like self-preservation, acting according to circumstances, and considering the overall situation.

Niu Erzhu was still young and impetuous, so he wore his heart on his sleeve. He was eager to prove something and had no habit of looking back or considering the consequences. Naturally, he didn't think about the intricacies involved.

Cheng Lu's advice finally convinced Niu Erzhu, and he obediently sat in his seat, listening to Hui and Wu Wei recount their adventures to everyone.

Once they started chatting, they naturally told each other about their experiences along the way, and also about how Niu Erzhu and Yan Lina joined them.

When they heard that Niu Erzhu had a level 7 talent cap, a second-tier fire-type ability, and was also an excellent weapon forging master, both of them were shocked.

"Heroes emerge from among the young! You're not even twenty yet, and you already possess such extraordinary abilities. You're destined for great things!"

Gray praised him very sincerely.

He looked at Leng Yuexiu, "Boss, you can't possibly let such an outstanding kid stay in the Seventh War Zone, can you?"

Leng Yuexiu laughed freely, "What do you think?"

Everyone burst into knowing laughter. Niu Erzhu scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "I'm not as good as you all say. I'm just doing some small things within my ability. I was afraid of being a burden to everyone. I'm very grateful that you don't mind and are even helping me out."

He was afraid this was a case of flattery backfiring, and looked at Leng Yuexiu, who was sitting in the middle, with a sense of being flattered and overwhelmed.

"Wherever Captain Leng assigns me, I will go. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Leng Yuexiu nodded with satisfaction, only then pointing out his sneaky little actions underneath.

"You and Cheng Lu were just talking about fishing down there, weren't you? Why didn't you say anything yourself?"
