"nerve!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt baffled.

Why is this person talking so strangely?

Could it be that this body really knew that young man before?

With a skeptical attitude, Zhang Xiaoyuan flipped through her past memories.

Her childhood memories were already blurry, but even after reviewing her middle school memories multiple times, Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't find a single face that matched the young man's.

Looking back on the vows I made before, it seems like I haven't made any.

"From this perspective, he's just a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) teenager."

Thinking about this, Zhang Xiaoyuan almost laughed.

He hasn't done this kind of thing since he topped the power rankings in many games.

How lonely it is to be invincible.

Looking at the spot where the young man was eliminated, Zhang Xiaoyuan noticed that no equipment had dropped, and the kill points on the data panel had not increased.

"It seems that only killing the enemy yourself will yield the loot."

Zhang Xiaoyuan observed the surrounding environment and found no changes, indicating that there were other players still alive in this desolate place.

It could be the human we encountered before, or it could be another alien race.

"This place is so big, I don't know when we'll be able to find the remaining contestants."

With a sigh, Zhang Xiaoyuan pulled out the scruffy cat and petted it vigorously, which made her feel a little better.

'Damn two-legged beasts!'

The scruffy cat bared its teeth and snarled, how hateful! When it grows stronger, it will definitely trample this two-legged beast under its feet every day!

However, the scruffy cat quickly forgot about the curse and looked at the thing in Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand with shining eyes.

"what is that?"

The mixed-breed cat swallowed a large mouthful of saliva.

This was the first time it had ever seen such a thing, but its mouth was already drooling uncontrollably, and its body instincts made it want to snatch the thing from Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand and eat it in large bites.

"What is this?"

As the mixed-breed cat spoke, drool kept dripping from the corners of its mouth.

"Fish? What, you've never eaten it before?"

Seeing the scraggly look on the mixed-breed cat's face, Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Fish? Is this something you can eat? It looks delicious."

The mixed-breed cat wiped its mouth, otherwise its drool would have wet its fur.

"hehe."

Zhang Xiaoyuan chuckled and tossed a small fish to the scruffy cat.

These fish were caught when the green turtle carried him across the river; after the encyclopedia was completed, they were only of value as food.

The scruffy cat quickly pinned the little fish down, its blue eyes observing the fish for a moment before it opened its mouth wide and swallowed the fish whole.

The smell of fish entered the mongrels' nasal cavity and further into its brain, causing the mongrels' eyes to change from surprise to curiosity to excitement.

In less than half a minute, the scruffy cat had devoured the small fish, even chewing the bones into bits and leaving them in its stomach.

"Two-legged creature, I am very satisfied with the little fish that I presented to you. I will allow you to offer a few more, and in the future I will bestow upon you unimaginable rewards!"

The mongrels raised their heads and looked arrogantly at Zhang Xiaoyuan.

"Oh, can you take this as you making empty promises to me?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at the scruffy cat. This scruffy cat got cocky just because it got a fish.

No.

This is a disease, it must be cured!

So Zhang Xiaoyuan ignored the stray cat and took out a few more fish from her backpack.

These fish, though not as delicious as the glitterfish, are still very tasty.

"Ok?"

When the scruffy cat saw that Zhang Xiaoyuan had actually brought out a new big fish, it was overjoyed.

'Sure enough, after spending so much time with me, this two-legged beast has been completely won over and now wants to offer me something good.'

The mixed-breed cat excitedly licked its lips. "Fish" is such a delicious food. How come it has never seen it before?

However, after waiting for a while, it discovered that Zhang Xiaoyuan had no intention of giving it any. Instead, she skewered the fish on a dry branch and put it on the fire to roast.

"Hey! You two-legged beast, what have you been doing behind my back? I've seen it all! Hand over my fish right now, and stop with those weird little tricks, or don't blame me for being merciless with my claws!"

The scraggly cat shouted excitedly, especially when it saw the fish burned black by the fire. It became furious and ran behind Zhang Xiaoyuan, slapping its paws incessantly.

"You audacious two-legged beast! Quickly present the fish to me, and I might spare your life and continue to provide you with fish!"

"Don't make trouble!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan waved her hand and hit the scraggly cat on the head, easily slapping it down. She then used her foot to hold the cat down while her hands kept turning the fish roasting over the fire and sprinkling some seasoning on it from time to time.

Before long, the aroma wafted out, stimulating the mixed-breed cat's taste buds.

"What is this smell? It smells so good!"

The struggling, scruffy cat suddenly stopped and looked excitedly at the fish that had turned black.

Although it looks uglier than before, it tastes even better.

'Could it be that the two-legged creatures are preparing something even better for me? Have I wronged them?'

The scraggly cat thought this to itself, but its eyes were fixed on the grilled fish.

"Although it's not quite as good as the grilled fish Ishida makes, the fish itself is delicious, so even if the cooking time isn't perfect, it won't be too bad."

Zhang Xiaoyuan pulled out a grilled fish. Its surface was black, the scales hadn't been scraped off and were curled up, and its rolled-up white eyes were a little scary.

"Well, if you behave well, there will be even better food than this in the future."

Zhang Xiaoyuan glanced at the scruffy cat somewhat guiltily and placed a grilled fish in front of it.

'If the mixed-breed cat is fine after eating it, then it's probably not poisonous.'

"Hmph, two-legged beast, I'm growing to admire you more and more."

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoyuan had given it fish, the scruffy cat was overjoyed. It ignored Zhang Xiaoyuan's room and buried its head in the dark, grilled fish to eat.

Although the taste was a bit off, with a strange flavor that I couldn't quite describe, the overall taste was still quite good.

The mixed-breed cat, in particular, was eating fish and grilled fish for the first time, and it loved it.

"Delicious, delicious, so delicious!"

The mixed-breed cat ate while making sounds of admiration.

"Looks like everything's alright."

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, in the past, even if someone only ate half a bite of the food he made, they would immediately spit it out.

Now it seems that he is indeed only suited for high-end ingredients.

Using a sharkskin knife to scrape away the dark scales, Zhang Xiaoyuan sniffed the fish before carefully tearing off a piece of meat to eat.

Hmm... the taste is a bit strange, but I can still swallow it.

I only ate one grilled fish; the rest were eaten by the stray cat.

The main problem was that the fish were still on the fire, and Zhang Xiaoyuan forgot to take them down, so they all got burnt.

Fortunately, the mixed-breed cat didn't mind the strange taste and ate it happily.

"I'm still a little hungry, I'll grill some more pieces of meat."

Zhang Xiaoyuan glanced at her backpack and finally chose a type of ingredient—green rhinoceros.

The meat of this monster is firm, so it won't burn even if you cook it for a long time.

"It smells so good! I never expected to smell food in this ghostly forest. Moo moo moo!"
