Eating it all for a stat boost: this was sothing that others would probably dismiss as a joke if Ruan i ntioned it.
But Pei Guang had already proven his ability, and Ruan i didn't want to miss out on this opportunity… so, she decided to go all in!
What Dingdang Cake made for her was a barbecue set al.
In the center of the plate was a massive at chop that had been cut in half.
How big was it? Well, it was about the size of three stacked Cat Cakes. Just this one piece of at was enough to fill up four or five people.
But that wasn't all. Aside from the at, there were also so refined carbohydrates.
For example, three enormous at buns, each bigger than a fist; large skewers of at, each one big enough to fill soone up by itself; a whole pitcher of drink, and a small plate of sliced roast at.
Every plate of at also had so vegetables to garnish. With the quantity of food here, most people would never be able to finish it.
But was Ruan i "most people"? Of course not!
She boosted her digestion speed and tabolism, finishing everything without leaving a single bite. But even so, her stomach was visibly swollen, almost like she was pregnant.
"I ate too much…"
Right now, Ruan i felt a little nauseous. Though the cat food was delicious, she couldn't handle eating so much in one sitting.
However, as soon as she finished and even began to feel a bit of nausea, her expression froze completely. She could feel the changes in her body.
While most people would only sense that they had beco stronger, Ruan i could precisely asure it as a percentage.
"Cell activity increased by 15%, tabolism's speed up by 30%? And…?"
In ga terms, this ant an increase in strength, speed, HP recovery, intelligence, stamina, and other max stats, along with an improved recovery rate. The exact boosts varied by attribute, but overall, the improvent was significant.
The biggest gain was in her brainpower: she felt like this was a true miracle.
Yes, she felt her IQ had increased by about 20%, and at this mont, countless thoughts flooded her mind. Places where she had once been stuck now felt strangely clear, as if the fog had been lifted.
She was both shocked and delighted. She was shocked that such a miraculous effect could co from simple ingredients, and delighted that her choice had been the right one.
She opened her mouth to express her thanks to Pei Guang, but when she saw Pei Guang and Stelle, she fell silent again.
It was hard enough for soone like her to eat everything, so for Pei Guang and Stelle, who had average stats, it was all the more difficult.
At this mont, Pei Guang was already staring blankly, trembling hands shoving the last bun into his mouth.
Stelle was in even worse shape.
As a "genius" who had passed out twice during competitive eating contests, she was now filled with a combination of destructive and preservation power. She used the strength of both Paths to force food into her mouth.
But just the power of her fate alone couldn't help her finish the al, so at that mont, her Stellaron erupted!
Back in the office of the station, Herta was still conducting research with Screwllum. While working, she noticed that her space station had a Stellaron.
"Huh? When did my space station get a Stellaron? What's that guy doing on my turf this ti?"
Screwllum: "I speculate the Trailblazer is conducting so kind of experint on this space station. I'm quite curious about his experints."
Herta: "If you're curious, just go and check it out. I'm also curious if he's up to sothing here."
Out of curiosity, Herta and Screwllum arrived at the confinent chamber, where the Stellaron was erupting.
Herta couldn't help but laugh at the scene.
Not far away, Pei Guang had passed out in his seat, while Stelle's hands were still stuffing food into her mouth, but the forces of both preservation and destruction, combined with the power of her Stellaron, were helping her digest.
On the other side, Ruan i stood with her large stomach, leaning against her waist.
Seeing this, Herta couldn't help but comnt, "How did your stomach get so big?"
Ruan i: "I ate…"
Herta: "Ate? Is there sothing that makes you eat without control like this?"
Ruan i pointed toward the nearby Cat Cakes holding knives: "The food they made boosts 'attributes.' It's about a 20% to 30% increase, and the stats are very specific. The exact duration is unknown, but according to him, it should last for about an hour."
Since the Cat Cakes still weren't very skilled in making cat food, they could only make the dishes but hadn't reached the peak of culinary mastery.
So of the Cat Cakes didn't have the best skills, so the attribute boosts fluctuated a bit, but overall, there was still a 20% increase. The numbers were consistent and precise.
Herta: "Huh? Attribute boosts?"
Ruan i nodded: "You might not believe it, but these dishes improve mory, thinking, and observational abilities. I can't break down the exact numbers, but…"
Simply put, her IQ also increased, though the exact value was hard to quantify.
For people at their level, intelligence wasn't sothing that could just be improved at will. Even Screwllum, as an organic lifeform, knew that there were limits to this kind of thing.
Herta was stunned, and Screwllum seed intrigued: "Oh? Eating it gives a boost?"
Ruan i nodded again: "That's what he said, but I'm not sure if there's a limit."
Herta: "Ask him yourself! Hey, wake up!"
Herta stretched out her hand and woke up the unconscious Pei Guang.
When he woke, he felt incredibly full, and his body instinctively wanted to sleep and recover. But Herta pulled at his clothes and yelled, "Wake up! About the food you ate, can Screwllum and I eat it too? Will we get any effect?"
Pei Guang: "Probably not? According to the characteristics, you need to eat it on-site and eat it all for it to work. If I rember correctly, your puppets don't have eating or drinking functions, do they?
If you really want to, you can try it and help collect so experintal data. But I can't eat anymore, I'm too stuffed. If you're interested, go ahead and eat it. I need to find sowhere to rest, or I'll throw up…"
The portion size of the Cat Food was simply too much: Pei Guang was able to finish it only because he was a player, but even players have a satiety limit in the ga.
Right now, Pei Guang's situation was that he was on the verge of exploding.
But after resting for a bit, he managed to digest so of it, and with the al being so delicious, the buffs it provided beca even more tempting. The total boost was about 20% to all attributes, and it was a multiplicative bonus.
If the Cat Cakes beca more skilled and started making top-tier dishes, these numbers could increase.
With such delicious food and powerful buffs, Pei Guang felt that he had to increase his food intake; otherwise, eating once and resting for three days would be impossible to handle.
But that was sothing for later. Right now, Pei Guang just wanted to find a quiet corner to digest his food.
Herta: "What a pity. I'll have to wait until I co back to try it. Hey! Screwllum, do you want to give it a try?"
Screwllum: "? Is that possible?"
Pei Guang, still nearby: "Should be fine, right? Unlike a puppet, you have eating functions, don't you?"
Screwllum confidently replied: "Yes, I can obtain the energy I need through normal eating."
Compared to the monotonous energy acquisition, Screwllum preferred this thod of gaining energy through normal life processes. It gave him a special feeling.
Pei Guang: "Then it should be fine. Besides, a chanical life is still a life, and as long as you can eat, it's all good! But you should look into it yourself. I'm taking Stelle with . I can't handle any more, I'm too stuffed.
Oh! By the way, Screwllum! Since you're chanical, if it works for you, could you help test it more? Our bodies can barely handle even one al, and we can't get useful data. As for the specifics, you can test however you want. Just tell what you find later."
Screwllum: "No problem, happy to help~"
Screwllum was more than happy to accept Pei Guang's request. He was very interested in simulating Pei Guang's performance in the universe. If possible, he even wanted to invite Pei Guang to his Screw Star to discuss the aning of life together.
Watching Stelle, who had already powered down, Pei Guang picked her up and left the space station.
