59: Chapter 59 One Glance

Tianjing.

Zhuoyi Buffet Hotpot.

People were coming and going in an endless stream.

Ji Yebai walked up to the entrance.

At this moment, many diners were coming out in groups of twos and threes.

Looking at their happy expressions, they were clearly very satisfied with their meal.

"Welcome!"

"Sir, please come inside. How many in your party?"

Seeing Ji Yebai walk in, a waiter immediately stepped forward.

"It's 138 per person here. We offer discounts for groups of five or more!"

The waiter was very enthusiastic.

Upon learning Ji Yebai was dining alone, he still warmly led him to a seat for two.

The hotpot base was served quickly.

Seeing this, Ji Yebai got up and brought back several plates of meat.

To his surprise, the ingredients were all very fresh.

The piping hot, spicy flavor exploded in his mouth, giving his stimulated taste buds a surge of pleasure.

He finished several plates of meat in just a few bites.

Ji Yebai immediately felt extremely comfortable.

It had been too long since he'd had a meal like this, giving his palate a long-awaited sense of excitement.

Then.

He got up again to get a few more plates of beef.

Well.

He didn't take too many.

Just a few plates.

He didn't grab a massive pile all at once to avoid drawing attention.

A Martial Artist's five organs and six viscera were already stronger than an ordinary person's, and their digestive System was naturally the same.

This would also lead to a greatly increased appetite for a Martial Artist.

And Ji Yebai's five organs were far stronger than those of a conventional Martial Artist.

Those few plates of beef were digested and absorbed within minutes of entering his stomach.

Although a First-Class Martial Artist could use Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to achieve the effect of fasting for a short time.

However.

That was only temporary, after all.

Eating and drinking would always be the greatest nourishment for a body of flesh and blood.

Plus, Ji Yebai had been hungry for so long that he urgently needed to replenish himself.

This was also why he came here for a big meal.

It both solved his nutritional needs and satisfied his taste buds.

Ji Yebai was a low-key person.

Therefore, he would finish a few plates and then go back for more.

He never took much at once, trying his best not to attract attention.

But.

Even so.

After more than half an hour, he was still noticed by a waiter.

In a corner.

"Manager, Manager!"

The waiter waved to the manager in the distance.

"What's wrong?"

The broad-faced, kindly-looking manager walked over.

"Manager, that customer has been eating for half an hour!"

The waiter secretly pointed at Ji Yebai.

The manager glanced over and looked at the waiter in confusion: "What's wrong with half an hour? Our store's motto is 'Customer First.' As long as he can eat, he can stay as long as he wants!"

"No..."

The waiter quickly explained: "Manager, he's been eating meat for half an hour, and it's all fresh-cut meat."

At this moment, Ji Yebai stood up again. Seeing this, the waiter quickly pointed: "Look, he's going again!"

The broad-faced, kindly manager looked over curiously.

He saw Ji Yebai holding empty plates, letting the chef fill them with fresh-cut beef.

Those plates of beef, added together, must have weighed at least three kilograms.

Next...

Ten minutes later.

Ji Yebai stood up once more.

"Oh!"

The broad-faced, kindly manager's interest was piqued: "Could it be that we've run into a competitive eater?"

Recently, mukbang videos had been appearing constantly on the internet.

And each one claimed to be a competitive eater.

However, they were all eventually exposed as fakes.

One must know that things were different now.

According to the country's latest science popularization.

Now that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was recovering, livestock like chickens, ducks, fish, and meat living in an environment with Spiritual Qi all contained a faint amount of it within their bodies.

Eating too much would cause the Spiritual Qi to stagnate and fail to digest, which could make a person feel uncomfortable for a while.

Only then would the undigested Spiritual Qi be expelled from the body.

Therefore, over the past three months, people who could eat a lot were becoming fewer and fewer.

Seeing someone like Ji Yebai now immediately piqued the manager's interest.

"I want to see what you're capable of!"

The broad-faced, kindly manager laughed with a sense of mischievous curiosity.

He could almost imagine Ji Yebai looking miserable from overeating.

Then.

Ji Yebai got up.

Ji Yebai sat down.

While the manager gradually fell into a daze, two hours quickly passed.

"Thir..."

The manager looked at the waiter beside him blankly: "How many trips has it been?"

"Thirty-seven!"

The waiter blurted out the number directly.

Hearing this, the manager was momentarily stunned: "He really is a competitive eater!"

Next.

Under the stunned gazes of the manager and the waiter, Ji Yebai happily spent another two hours.

In the last half hour, he ate a lot of fruit.

A mix of meat and vegetables for a balanced nutrition.

It had to be said that with the Spiritual Qi recovery, all ingredients had become more delicious.

Fruits that used to taste like wood shavings had also become fresh and sweet.

After paying 138, Ji Yebai left the shop.

By now, it was nearing evening.

It was dinner time.

The crowd at the store entrance had increased again.

Ji Yebai turned his head to glance behind him and left with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

Truth be told, the service here was quite good.

That manager and waiter stared at him for so long, yet they never tried to kick him out.

It was an honest business.

The night scenery of Tianjing was beautiful.

After eating and drinking his fill, Ji Yebai began to wander around.

It was now close to dinner time.

The number of people on the streets had increased.

November in Tianjing was quite chilly.

Some people were even wearing thick clothes.

But surprisingly, you could still occasionally see women dressed in bright summer clothes on the street.

Those women looked bright and beautiful from a distance.

But that wasn't the most eye-catching thing.

The most eye-catching thing was the people behind them holding large cameras.

Each of them had long hair or unkempt beards.

They looked somewhat unusual.

Click! Click! Click!

A series of shutter sounds rang out, and several men of varying heights and builds began to exchange notes while holding their cameras.

"Whoa, Fatty, this shot of yours is great! The composition is simply perfect!"

"Exactly, quickly share some of your experience!"

A chubby man received unanimous praise from everyone.

"Hahaha, it's just average!"

The bearded Fatty looked proud: "After taking so many, only this one is passable. It's mainly because the model's temperament isn't good enough. If she were a bit more pure and a tiny bit more elegant, it would be perfect!"

"Fatty, you're being ridiculous! Where would you find a person like that?"

"Exactly! In this circle nowadays, everyone is sleeping around every day. How can there be any talk of purity!"

The people nearby immediately began to complain.

The current era was the best of times and the worst of times.

Resources were abundant, and everyone looked very beautiful.

But it was also flooded with material desires, having long since lost its original beauty.

"Sigh, that's true!"

Fatty gave a light sigh and shook his head slightly.

But just then.

He suddenly froze.

He saw two figures walking from a distance.

They were two tall women.

The woman on the right was slightly taller, nearly 1.75 meters.

A simple pair of denim jeans made her body proportions look exceptionally slender and perfect.

She wore a pure white wool sweater on top, but what made it impossible to look away was her nearly perfect face.

Her face was delicate and exquisite, and from a distance, her skin seemed to emit a faint glow, like bright and translucent soft jade.

Clean and pure.

Bright eyes and white teeth, as gentle as jade.

In an instant, it struck Fatty's heart.

His heart raced uncontrollably.

In a daze, it felt as if he had met his first love.

Perhaps because Fatty had been staring for too long, he was noticed.

The pure-looking woman glanced at him casually.

So beautiful!

With just one glance, she was so beautiful that Fatty almost suffocated.

To be honest, the slightly shorter woman on the left was also very beautiful, far better than the models he worked with.

But when the two stood together, the woman on the right would unconsciously attract everyone's gaze.

"Fatty, Fatty?!"

The people around Fatty began to shout as they saw him looking as if he had lost his soul.

Then they followed his gaze.

They also saw the two women, and their eyes immediately lit up.

"Truly beautiful!"

Several people praised in unison.

Then they all raised their cameras.

But.

Just then.

The most beautiful woman's brow furrowed slightly, and her indifferent gaze swept toward them.

In an instant, they seemed to experience the illusion of being struck in the head, feeling dizzy, nauseous, and even having difficulty breathing.

At this moment, they couldn't even stand steadily, swaying before collapsing to the ground.
