Chapter 10
"It's the Demon Egg!"
Xu Fei took a deep breath.
Even now, he could hardly believe his own eyes.
This damn thing was just a preserved egg?
When he first saw how tense these weird entities were, Xu Fei had already mentally prepared himself for death.
As long as he could physically endure it, he would give it a shot.
But he never could have imagined that the Demon Egg, which made these weird entities tremble in fear, was nothing more than a preserved egg he was all too familiar with!
Weird entities were actually afraid of preserved eggs?
At first, he had doubted whether this so-called Demon Egg just looked like a preserved egg, so he observed it for a while and even sniffed it.
But whether it was the smell it gave off or the surface texture he could see, it was no different from the preserved eggs he had eaten before.
At this moment, the people in the Dragon Country live stream were instantly drawn to the preserved egg in Xu Fei's hand.
"Bro, am I seeing this right? The Demon Egg is actually a damn preserved egg?"
"No mistake! It's a preserved egg! Dragon Country is saved!"
"Who the hell said Xu Fei picked the wrong thing? He picked the absolute best!"
"Don't get too excited yet. Even among Dragon Country people, some can't stomach preserved eggs!"
"Nonsense. Sure, some people might not like eating it normally, but it's way better than eating those disgusting bugs!"
"Exactly. If someone held a gun to your head and told you to eat it, would you refuse?"
"But have you considered that it might just look like a preserved egg?"
"Hiss—Xu bro should be fine, right?"
The people of Dragon Country remained on edge, their eyes glued to Xu Fei on the screen.
On the screen, the Abhorrent Butcher was also startled by Xu Fei's reaction, but he still warned, "Eat it quickly! Otherwise, I'll chop you into mincemeat!"
"Alright."
Xu Fei nodded.
There was no time to think about anything else.
He had been hungry for a while, but the tense atmosphere earlier had killed his appetite.
Now, seeing this Demon Egg that was identical to a preserved egg, an unprecedented hunger surged within him, and his mouth kept salivating.
He stuffed it into his mouth in one bite and began to chew.
The familiar taste of the preserved egg filled his entire mouth, the chewy egg white and the soft, creamy yolk were fresh and smooth.
It was simply a delicacy.
If he could add some soy sauce, vinegar, and maybe some minced garlic to mix it into a cold dish, that would be the ultimate killer!
At that moment, Xu Fei was absolutely certain that this so-called Demon Egg was undoubtedly a preserved egg!
To be honest, the Hidden Hint's choice was practically tailor-made for him.
Even if players from other countries had picked this, they probably wouldn’t have been able to swallow it.
But for Xu Fei, preserved eggs were definitely a gourmet dish!
"Impressive…"
The Abhorrent Butcher watched Xu Fei's expression of pure enjoyment, his small eyes revealing a glint of shock.
Even Luo Yao, at this moment, covered her mouth, looking at Xu Fei with a face full of disbelief.
The other weird entities watching Xu Fei were in an uproar.
"Holy crap! This guy actually ate the Demon Egg!"
"This is an egg born from the horrific abyss, the Demon Egg!"
"How is this possible? A human can actually eat something so disgusting?"
"And look at him, he’s practically enjoying it!"
"If I remember correctly, even the Abhorrent People would struggle to eat it so calmly!"
"This human named Xu Fei is even more terrifying than the Abhorrent People!"
"A human who can eat the Demon Egg like that—is there anything he can’t eat?"
"So you’re saying he might even dare to eat us!"
As the weird entities said this, they seemed to realize something, and their gazes toward Xu Fei began to show a hint of fear.
The players from other countries were also jolted awake by the weird entities' words, turning their heads to look at Xu Fei.
"He’s insane! The Dragon Country player must be insane!"
"How can he eat something so disgusting like it’s delicious?"
"I’ve been to Dragon Country before. Why does this thing seem kind of familiar?"
"No mistake! It’s a preserved egg, a specialty of Dragon Country!"
"What does that mean? After all this, he picked his own country’s food?!"
"Why? Why is his luck so good?"
"I don’t know how to judge this, but if it were me, I definitely couldn’t eat it!"
At this moment, all the players from other countries looked at Xu Fei with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Some even began to fantasize about picking a delicious dish themselves.
In contrast, the Dragon Country audience watching the live stream burst into laughter at this moment.
"Oh my gosh, my poor heart can’t take this!"
"He survived! Xu Fei survived again!"
"Xu Fei is awesome! He even picked a specialty. It’s like the heavens are blessing our Dragon Country!"
"Where are those barking haters from earlier? Why so quiet now?"
"Exactly! Even if their players picked it, they definitely wouldn’t be able to eat it!"
Facing Dragon Country’s counterattack, the comments from other countries in the live stream began to double down.
"It’s just a bit of good luck, isn’t it? The White Elephant Player’s luck isn’t bad either!"
"Yeah, I don’t believe anyone can be this lucky every time!"
"Don’t you Dragon Country folks always say, ‘Who doesn’t eat dumplings during the New Year?’"
"It’s still early. This is only the first day. I refuse to believe he’ll be this lucky every time!"
The comments in the Dragon Country live stream were fiercely clashing.
At that moment, in the Weird World, Xu Fei had completely swallowed the preserved egg.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd and the weird entities, Xu Fei looked up at the Abhorrent Butcher again and asked, "Is there more?"
The Abhorrent Butcher immediately furrowed his brow and questioned, "Kid, you still want to eat?"
Xu Fei nodded honestly, "Yeah, I’m still a bit hungry."
Leaving aside the other weird entities, even the SSS-Level Weird, the Abhorrent Butcher, couldn’t help but gasp at this moment.
He stared intently at the unbelievable young man before him and slowly said, "Kid, the Demon Egg isn’t something you can just have whenever you want."
"But if you’re not full, you can choose again. If you pick wrong, the consequences will be the same as before. It depends on whether you have the guts!"
"Choose again?"
Hearing this offer, Xu Fei paused to think.
The Abhorrent Butcher’s meaning was clear: it was a gamble with his life for a chance to eat his fill.
If he chose correctly, he could eat another dish, but if he chose wrong, he would still be eliminated.
For normal players, just passing the round was already incredibly difficult, and they wouldn’t dare gamble again.
But for Xu Fei, who had the Hidden Hint, this might not be a bad thing.
It could very well be a chance to eat his fill!
After all, according to the rules of this instance, there was only one chance to eat in the cafeteria each day.
One meal a day.
If he didn’t eat his fill now, where would he get the strength to deal with these troublesome SSS-Level Weird entities?
Take a gamble, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!
So, Xu Fei turned his gaze to the remaining food carts, eager to try again.
Seeing Xu Fei’s expression, the entire Dragon Country live stream audience felt their hearts tighten again.
"Xu Fei, don’t mess with me! I’m about to have a heart attack!"
"Is Xu Fei really starving? Is he actually going to pick again?"
"No, Xu Fei! Picking again is basically wasting a chance!"
"Please, Xu Fei, stop showing off! I’ll kneel for you!"
"Others are trying to survive in the Weird World, but Xu Fei, are you trying to live your dream life here?"
As Dragon Country grew nervous, the comments from other countries finally flooded the screen again.
"Let you laugh! Look at your pig-like player, only knowing how to eat!"
"Haha, is your Dragon Country player’s brain messed up?"
"No way! Does he really think he’ll get that kind of luck every time?"
"Dragon Country, if you’ve got the guts, pick again! Don’t let me look down on you!"
