Mobius stared at the vegetables laid out in front of him with a dark expression. Snakes are carnivores, how could they eat vegetarian food? Before Zhu Yufeng forcibly managed his diet, the most common and only vegetarian food Mobius had ever eaten was instant noodles, with vegetables being just a tiny bit of seasoning in the instant noodles.

So after seeing the diet chart for Mobius that Klein sent him, Zhu Yufeng wondered if the physique of Previous Civilization was quite different from that of normal people he knew. Could this kind of diet produce Mobius's physique?

It's truly baffling.

However, Mobius's physical condition was extremely poor, to the point that it could be described as appalling.

Running 400 meters normally leaves me breathless, and running 800 meters feels like I'm about to run out of breath.

However, the situation has improved a lot now. At least he won't run out of breath after only 800 meters. Zhu Yufeng is quite proud of this.

Hundred Flavors repeatedly emphasized that the meals she specially prepared for Mobius were absolutely healthy, but Mobius, with a sour face, said, "Of course I know that..."

She was rude to everyone who tried to feed her vegetables, except for Zhu Yufeng and Klein, whom she couldn't handle. Klein was usually quite easy to talk to, but lately, ever since Zhu Yufeng started monitoring her diet, Klein has become increasingly controlling...

What is all this nonsense?!

She did try to struggle, after all, Mobius was a genius. When Zhu Yufeng forced her to follow a strict diet, she tried to theoretically tell Zhu Yufeng that there was nothing wrong with her diet. Unfortunately... no matter how she proved it, she was always wrong.

Finally, after some haggling and providing theoretical proof, Zhu Yufeng agreed to lower the vegetable content in her diet to the minimum standard.

She's having such a hard time...

Zhu Yufeng glanced at Mobius, who was staring at the vegetables, and was slightly satisfied. At least now Mobius wouldn't push the vegetables away as soon as he saw them, which was a big improvement.

On Kosma's side.

Kosma looked at the dishes on the food cart next to Hundred Flavors and fell into deep thought.

(My relationship with Disaster does definitely need improvement; things can't go on like this. I remember that dish is one of Disaster's favorites. Should I take the initiative and help place it closer to her? But wouldn't that be the same as me giving in to her first?)

First, several plates of vegetables were placed in front of Mobius. Ignoring Mobius's green face, Hundred Flavors continued to serve the dishes. Since Elysia had only made a special note for Mobius, Hundred Flavors basically served the rest of the dishes randomly.

Logically speaking, Hundred Flavors should know Zhu Yufeng's eating habits and preferences. However, after observing him for a while, Hundred Flavors found that Zhu Yufeng seemed to eat everything and couldn't see any particular preference.

In fact, Zhu Yufeng was originally a picky eater, but after undergoing the Fusion Warrior surgery, he became indiscriminate in his eating habits, and he has retained this habit to this day.

Can this be considered the formation of a good habit?

Zhu Yufeng glanced at Mobius's frantic yet somewhat aggrieved expression, and decided that the teasing had gone far enough. He took a dish from Hundred Flavors's hand, moved a plate of vegetables in front of Mobius closer to himself, and placed it in front of Mobius.

Mobius: "!"

Seeing how sensible Yu Feng is, should I... forgive him for bullying me with Elysia? After all, Yu Feng's intentions were for my own good... Of course, Elysia still won't forgive him! No matter what her intentions were, she won't forgive him!

While Kosma was still struggling with what to do, Zhu Yufeng had already started serving the dishes with Hundred Flavors. He knew the dietary preferences of most people at the table, except for Disaster and Hua. He didn't know Disaster because their previous relationship wasn't very deep, and he didn't know Hua because she rarely interacted with anyone and was mostly alone.

However, judging from the fact that Hua ate cornbread for thousands of years afterward, she probably wasn't picky.

He had basically never eaten with Sakura, but her sister Rin had already told him everything about her.

Besides Rin, he... is probably the person who understands Sakura the most... Last time when I was playing games with Rin, Rin often complained to me that her older sister was just a block of wood except for being gentle.

Kosma looked at the dishes in front of him and gave up his idea.

(As expected of Maple, he actually remembered my... no, I should say he even remembered most people's dietary preferences? In this respect... he and Elysia are indeed alike... Oh well, there will be other opportunities to reconcile with Disaster in the future, no need to rush.)

Kosma decided to give up.

Elysia rested her chin on her hand as she watched Zhu Yufeng serve the dishes. After he sat down, she secretly typed to him on her phone. "You actually remembered everyone's food preferences! You're really something, Feng~ (/≧▽≦/)"

Zhu Yufeng felt his phone vibrate, took it out and glanced at it, then looked at Elysia who was smiling at him. After thinking for a moment, he typed a reply, "It's nothing. You ordered all the dishes, and you already remembered them, right?"

"Of course~ Who told me to be Elysia ~ (≧∇≦)/ Actually, you're the more surprising one, Maple. I thought your attention was basically only on the Thirteen Fallen Angels."

Zhu Yufeng remained silent.

Why did he sense a hint of resentment?

This...

He chose to put down his phone and eat.

Elysia: "..."

Feng definitely understood what she meant, and then... he simply chose to give up and not answer, right?

Zhu Yufeng glanced discreetly at the inside pocket of his clothes, where the Sun Earring that Lilith had secretly slipped to him was kept. Since it belonged to Lilith, he couldn't just leave it anywhere, especially now that there was Vill-V who would occasionally come to his dorm room. He couldn't possibly leave the earring in his dorm room.

He even imagined what would happen if Vill-V found out.

I'll probably have back pain the next day and won't be able to get up.

Therefore, carrying it close to your body is a good option, but the problem might be more serious if it is discovered.

But at least it's much better than having to worry about his back right now. As for what to do if it gets discovered later, that's a matter for the future. What does it have to do with him now?

Is it okay to just give up and let things fall apart?

Disaster watched as Zhu Yufeng methodically served the dishes, then checked his phone and interacted with Elysia. She sighed again at the difficulty of poaching Pardo's boyfriend, then looked at Pardo...

The little Pardo she was concerned about was focused on the dish in front of her and didn't pay any attention to Elysia and Zhu Yufeng.

At least Brother Yu Feng knows what he likes to eat, right? As for the rest, who cares? Just do your best and leave the rest to Schicksal. It's much easier to think positively.

The best solution is to simply give up!

Disaster: "..."

No need to think about it, that must be Little Pardo's favorite dish, right? So, it seems Feng knows everyone's preferences? Sure enough, men who can be playboys all have some tricks up their sleeves.

She looked at the dishes in front of her, paused for a moment, and wondered how Feng knew what she liked to eat. She didn't seem to have shown him much of that, did she? Could it be that Amo told him? Hmm, that's possible.

Why does Amo tell everyone everything?

Kosma:???

Actually, Zhu Yufeng just arranged them randomly, since he knew the dietary preferences of everyone except Disaster, and Hua.

It was basically a choice between two options, and he guessed it correctly.
