    Chapter 82, Paimon: I’m the Champion!

    2025-01-21

    Chapter 82, Paimon: I’m the Champion!

    Xing swaggered around with a basket, peeking at the fifty-plus dishes, scrutinizing each one.

    “These chicken wings look plump! Two, please.

    Hmm, this giant squid is also good, quite fresh, and it’s still moving, amazing!

    This sliced pork belly is nice, and this beef is good too…”

    After a round of selection, Xing’s basket was overflowing with meat dishes; not a single vegetable was in sight.

    Xing, basket loaded with meat and seasonings, returned to her seat, her eyes eagerly watching the pot, waiting for the broth to boil.

    At this time, March 7th and Amber also returned with their chosen ingredients.

    March 7th saw Xing’s basket brimming with meat and was speechless.

    “Xing, can’t you get some vegetables?”

    Xing vehemently shook her head.

    “Impossible. Vegetables aren’t for me; meat suits me better.”

    Amber also couldn’t bear to watch.

    “Xing, you should at least eat some vegetables. Eating vegetables is good for your health.”

    Xing shook her head again. Just then, Seele and Lumine walked past her.

    Xing stopped them.

    “Seele, Lumine, what did you get? Any vegetables?”

    Seele stared wide-eyed at Xing.

    “Vegetables? Why eat vegetables when there’s meat?”

    Lumine wagged a finger.

    “Hot pot is all about the meat! Where would we get the strength to fight without it?”

    Paimon, struggling to carry a basket full of meat, flew over.

    “Exactly! Meat fills you up. Why eat vegetables?”

    March 7th and Amber were speechless. These guys were all the same.

    At least other people, like Klee, knew to pick some vegetables!

    Soon, everyone returned to the dining table.

    Ye Yun gave the four little ones two full baskets of food—enough for them.

    “Did everyone wash their hands? You have to wash your hands before you can eat.” Jizi walked over with the seasonings, asking the four children.

    The four children shook their heads and scurried off to the kitchen.

    The four little ones stood by the sink, sighing. The sink was too high; they couldn’t reach it.

    Then, Bailu’s eyes lit up. She spotted a small stool Pam usually used for cooking.

    Bailu pushed it to the sink.

    “Come on, stand on this; you should be tall enough now.”

    Klee, Hook, and Diona all agreed, lining up one by one to wash their hands.

    After washing her hands, Klee ran to her seat.

    “Da da da~ La la la~ Klee is going to eat hot pot~”

    Klee ran to her seat, and with a “hey-ho,” climbed onto her chair.

    Jizi looked around. Usually, Clara sat next to her during meals.

    Jizi looked around, but Clara wasn’t there.

    After a moment’s thought, she remembered that at this time, Clara was usually studying in the library.

    Jizi went to the library and, sure enough, Clara was still studying a model.

    “Clara, it’s time for dinner.”

    Clara, realizing she’d been engrossed in her work and lost track of time, responded.

    “Okay, Clara is coming right away.”

    Clara put the model on the table and ran to Jizi.

    Jizi took Clara to the kitchen, where she chose her food, washed her hands, and returned to the dining table.

    Ye Yun, seeing Clara, smiled and asked.

    “Clara, how’s your research going? On that model.”

    The model Clara was studying was from Ye Yun, bought from the system store.

    [Product: Gundam Realistic Mini Model.
    Description: A perfect replica of a mecha model called Gundam.
    Value: 500 Star Coins]

    Clara smiled.

    “Well, I have some ideas.”

    Ye Yun looked at Clara, wondering if he should get Clara a lab.

    Wasn’t there a large storage room on the second floor of the train? He could renovate it, making a simple one first.

    After a few seconds of thought, Ye Yun decided to do it. He’d start tomorrow.

    The teleportation gate from the Black Tower was already set up, but today, Astar and the Black Tower had things to do and couldn’t attend the hot pot dinner.

    Tomorrow, he’d ask the Black Tower to help get some equipment suitable for a beginner like Clara.

    Everyone gathered around the dining table, and the five pots quickly boiled.

    “Let’s eat!” Ye Yun shouted, and everyone began adding ingredients to the pots.

    Xing was the most dramatic, filling her red pot with meat until the broth was almost overflowing.

    March 7th quickly scooped out some of the meat to prevent the broth from spilling over.

    “Xing! Be gentle! Too much broth will scald someone!”

    Xing chuckled.

    “Sorry, sorry.”

    Ye Yun and Jizi took care of the four little ones, attending to two each.

    Ye Yun ruffled Klee and Hook’s heads.

    “Which one do you want to eat first?”

    Klee raised her hand.

    “Report~ Ye Yun gege, Klee wants to eat fish~”

    “Hook wants meat!”

    Ye Yun smiled indulgently.

    “Okay, Ye Yun gege will get it for you.”

    Ye Yun cooked fish and meat slices for the two little ones.

    Qinyan and the others chatted and added ingredients.

    Only Zhong Li, Welt, and Diluc sat together, putting only a tiny amount of vegetables in their pots.

    Kaeya suddenly felt he’d chosen the wrong seat.

    Look at Venti; he’d gone to sit with Xing and the others, looking incredibly happy.

    However, there was an advantage; Kaeya could cook a lot of his favorite dishes at once.

    As they ate…

    Venti went to the small bar, turned on the speakers, and upbeat music filled the shop.

    Hot pot was all about lively atmosphere.

    Everyone ate, played, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and joyful.

    Paimon gobbled down the meat. This was her first time eating hot pot, and the taste was incredibly amazing.

    This thing called hot pot was just too delicious!

    Xing, Seele, and Paimon ate in a similar manner—holding their bowls and wildly devouring the food.

    March 7th had given up trying to persuade them. It was hopeless.

    The three sat together, competing with each other, constantly adding food.

    Soon, the three finished a basket of ingredients.

    All three stood up to get more food.

    In the end…

    Paimon won the championship.

    Paimon stood on her chair, hands on her hips, looking disdainfully at Xing and Seele.

    Xing ate two baskets before she couldn’t eat anymore, Seele ate two and a half, and Paimon ate three baskets.

    The three’s appetite deeply shocked March 7th and the other girls.

    The meal quickly ended. After resting for a while, everyone dispersed and went home.

    During this time, Ningguang and Bronya finalized some cooperation.

    Bronya exchanged 200 mechas for a large supply of food from Liyue.

    With this food, Belobog’s food supply for the next six months would be secured.

    Ningguang was very satisfied with the deal. 200 mechas; these mechas were far stronger than ordinary Millelith soldiers.
