[Group member "Nan Li" sent a regular snack red packet. Hurry and claim it!]
[Nan Li: Come on, everyone, please enjoy. @All Members]
[Group member "Fujiwara Chika" claimed your red packet.]
[Fujiwara Chika: Yay! I'm first again!]
[Group member "The Gray Witch" claimed your red packet.]
[The Gray Witch: Hiss! So fast! @Fujiwara Chika]
[Fujiwara Chika: Nothing special, just practice makes perfect, wahahaha~]
[Group member "Strongest Dark Elf" claimed your red packet.]
[Group member "Sword Saintess" claimed your red packet.]
[Group member...]
Soon, all the group members, except for Genos, had claimed Nan Li's snack red packet.
[The Gray Witch: Wow! This is too generous. I've been roughing it in the wilderness these past few days, suddenly I feel so happy.]
[Fujiwara Chika: You're still marveling, while I've already started eating.]
[Young City Lord of Wuxiang City: I just ate the snacks Nan Li sent, and I thought they were the most delicious things on earth, but I didn't expect these snacks to be even better.]
[Silent Witch: Good... delicious! @Nan Li]
This was the first time Monica had @-ed a group member in the Chat Group.
It was clear that she was temporarily conquered by the snacks Nan Li had sent.
Of course.
Not everything was delicious.
[Strongest Dark Elf: Ahem~ That star taro boba is really too awful to drink.]
[Fujiwara Chika: Awful? Let me try.]
[Fujiwara Chika: Ugh! It really is awful, it has an indescribable taste.]
Seeing Lestia and Fujiwara Chika's comments in the Chat Group, the other group members couldn't help but try it out of curiosity.
"Ptooey! Ptooey ptooey ptooey! What is this taste? It's too awful to drink."
Bai Muzhen had just taken a sip of the star taro boba milk tea through a straw when she spat it out.
That indescribable taste, she really didn't know what words to use to describe it.
The Sword Saintess also tasted it, but her expression didn't change much; instead, she took two more sips.
[Sword Saintess: Awful? I think it's pretty good.]
[Silent Witch: Mm! I... I here... also think it's good, good... delicious!]
(Fu Xuan: Not bad, you two have excellent taste, I approve!)
[Fujiwara Chika: Are you two sure? I just tried it again, and it's still very awful. @Sword Saintess @Young City Lord of Wuxiang City]
[The Gray Witch: I also took a small sip here, and it's still awful, ptooey ptooey ptooey! I will definitely never drink this star taro boba again!]
Seeing Fujiwara Chika and Ilaina's comments, Monica tilted her head, then looked at the black cat, her familiar, Nero, who was currently eating [Deep-fried Flying Sea Anemone].
"Nero."
"Hm? What is it, Master?"
Nero raised his cat head, his mouth dripping with oil, full of confusion.
He absolutely loved this snack called [Deep-fried Flying Sea Anemone].
"You try this drink."
Saying that, Monica poured some of the star taro boba from her hand into a small bowl beside her, then gestured for Nero to drink it.
Nero didn't hesitate, taking a sip.
Then his entire cat fur bristled, and he quickly spat out all the star taro boba in his mouth.
"What is this? It's so awful! I feel like my whole cat life is almost over."
Seeing this, Monica couldn't help but scratch her head.
Strange, it tasted so good.
The same thing happened in the Slime world.
The Sword Saintess, having read the Chat Group messages, tilted her head in confusion, then turned her gaze to Sakaguchi Hinata, who was currently eating heartily beside her.
Noticing her gaze, Sakaguchi Hinata's chewing motion involuntarily paused.
Then she spoke, her words a little muffled.
"Hm? Xiao Meige, why aren't you eating?"
"Lady Hinata, could you please try this drink called... um, star taro boba?"
Saying that, the Sword Saintess handed over the star taro boba she was holding.
Sakaguchi Hinata, though confused, still reached out and took it.
"Oh, milk tea, right? Is it very delicious? I'll try it, I'm a bit thirsty anyway."
Swallowing the food in her mouth, Sakaguchi Hinata leaned towards the straw and took a big sip.
The next second—
"Ugh... cough cough cough! Ptooey ptooey ptooey!"
Sakaguchi Hinata's face changed, and she spat out all the milk tea she had drunk.
"L-Lady Hinata, are you alright?"
The Sword Saintess frantically handed her a handkerchief.
Sakaguchi Hinata waved her hand, indicating it wasn't needed.
She picked up the unfinished bottle of soleta to rinse her mouth, washing away the strange taste.
After doing all this, Sakaguchi Hinata looked at the Sword Saintess again.
"Is... is this milk tea? Why is it so awful?
"Xiao Meige, you've grown up, you're even starting to tease me."
Hearing Sakaguchi Hinata say that, the Sword Saintess waved her hands repeatedly, her eye-catching large breasts swaying along.
"You've wronged me! I wasn't trying to tease you."
"I think this drink tastes good, but many people in the group said it was awful, so I just wanted you to try it."
To prove her innocence, the Sword Saintess snatched the star taro boba from Sakaguchi Hinata's hand and took a big gulp.
Sakaguchi Hinata watched her, her expression normal, even showing a satisfied look, as if she truly liked drinking this beverage.
"It seems your taste buds and mine are very different when it comes to this drink."
"It should be so."
Since the misunderstanding was cleared, Sakaguchi Hinata didn't intend to dwell on the topic.
She grabbed a bowl of fragrant fried rice, her eyes shining.
Rice!
This was the rice she had been longing for!
Although the shape of the rice grains was a bit different from what she remembered, it was, after all, rice from the interstellar era, so it was normal for it to be different from the rice she knew.
Impatiently taking a bite, Sakaguchi Hinata couldn't help but let out a satisfied gasp.
She felt as if the entire universe had exploded in her mouth.
"Xiao Meige, quickly go ask in the Chat Group what this fried rice is called."
"Oh, oh, alright."
The Sword Saintess nodded in response, then began to inquire in the Chat Group.
[Sword Saintess: Um... Mr. Nan Li, the senior next to me wants to ask, what is the name of the fried rice you sent us? @Nan Li]
[Nan Li: It's called Cosmic Fried Rice. Actually, I didn't order fried rice; the vendor specially gave it to me as a gift.]
[Shang Ziwei] saw that the customer was Nan Li and specially gifted him the same amount of Cosmic Fried Rice.
This was the reputation of his Si Ding in Xianzhou!
[Sword Saintess: The senior next to me said she wants a few more portions of Cosmic Fried Rice. Of course, she can exchange it for precious materials from this world.]
Nan Li's interest was piqued when he saw the Sword Saintess say that.
Materials from the Slime world?
He had to admit, it was worth his attention.
[Nan Li: Alright, but have her send me a material to take a look at first.]
[Sword Saintess: Okay, just a moment.]
Just like that, after waiting for about three or four seconds, a designated exclusive red packet was sent out.
[Sword Saintess: Mr. Nan Li, please take a look.]
[Nan Li: Alright, I'll take a look.]
After saying that, Nan Li claimed the exclusive red packet.
The next second, a special black iron block appeared in Nan Li's hand.
Casually weighing it twice, Nan Li injected power into it, carefully feeling the feedback it brought.
"Oh my~ This thing is unexpectedly good."
"Indeed, using the Chat Group to exchange supplies or materials is also a good use."
This black iron block sent by the Sword Saintess was called [Magic Steel].
Even in the Slime world, it was a rare and precious material.
Its density aside, its melting point was about 100 million ℃.
A certain Slime named Rimuru once encountered a puppet made of Magic Steel.
At that time, Rimuru first tried several attack methods, and later used [Black Flame Hell] with temperatures as high as hundreds of millions of degrees to instantly kill it.
Even if [Magic Steel] were placed in the Honkai Star Rail universe, it would still be a good material.
[Nan Li: If I'm not mistaken, the person next to you is Sakaguchi Hinata? @Sword Saintess]
Since she was a member of the Luminas Church and interested in modern cuisine, Nan Li could only think of Sakaguchi Hinata.
[Sword Saintess: Yes, Mr. Nan Li, you are indeed intelligent.]
[Nan Li: Tell Hinata to send me some more of this material. Whenever she wants to eat Cosmic Fried Rice or other snacks in the future, just tell me, I'll cover it.]
[Sword Saintess: Okay, okay.]
Soon, the Sword Saintess sent another exclusive red packet.
[Sword Saintess: This is all of it, please check, Mr. Nan Li. @Nan Li]
Nan Li didn't hesitate and claimed all the Magic Steel inside.
Looking at the considerable amount of Magic Steel before him, Nan Li felt he would have to find time to visit the Ministry of Industry later.
[Sword Saintess: Mr. Nan Li, Senior Hinata said, please order three more portions of Cosmic Fried Rice.]
[Nan Li: OK, tell her to wait a moment.]
For Sakaguchi Hinata's generosity, Nan Li naturally couldn't fall behind.
He quickly operated the jade amulet, and in addition to several portions of Cosmic Fried Rice, he also added several other snacks to the order... In the one-punch man world.
A certain Bald Great Demon King and Genos searched the streets for a long time, not finding any anomalies, but eliminating quite a few monsters.
Arriving at a certain park.
With a rumbling stomach, Saitama could only temporarily put the search mission aside.
"Genos, let's find a place to eat, I'm hungry."
To be honest, Saitama was a bit embarrassed right now.
Because he didn't have much money, he usually bought groceries during supermarket sales and cooked for himself.
The number of times he ate at restaurants outside was very few.
Genos had no concerns about this; after all, he, the disciple, would pay for whatever they ate.
Just as he was about to search for good restaurants nearby, he noticed several @All Members messages in the Chat Group.
After a quick look, Genos said to Saitama with a hint of surprise.
"Teacher, would you like to try interstellar cuisine? Someone in the Chat Group sent snack and delicacy red packets."
"Oh? Interstellar cuisine? Quickly let me try it."
Having received the Bald Great Demon King's approval, Genos found an empty space and then claimed all the food from the two red packets.
Saitama's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the dazzling array of fragrant food.
Then he beckoned Genos to enjoy it with him.
As satisfied tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, Saitama became even more determined to join the Chat Group.
Fighting strong opponents from other worlds, tasting delicacies from other worlds—he wanted it all!
...Xianzhou Luofu.
Two nights later, late at night, when all was quiet.
In an alley in Changle Tian.
A person dressed in all black, sneaking around, knocked on a tightly closed door in an alley.
"Who? Passcode."
"Mercy of the Medicine King, prosperity of the Ambrosial Arbor."
"Disciples united, ascending to bliss together."
