After the group finished tidying up their dormitory, it was time to eat. The saying "food is the first necessity of the people" applied everywhere.

But when they saw the cafeteria, everyone only wanted to ask one question: Shrek Academy, were you serious?

It was a large thatched hut. Three stout middle-aged women in aprons stood behind a row of small wooden tables, greeting them with broad smiles as soon as they entered.

"Students, come see what you'd like to eat. To celebrate the arrival of the new students, the academy specially prepared a few good dishes today."

Ning Rongrong trotted over to the "food basins" and curiously inspected the dishes inside.

How could an Eldest Miss raised in luxury like her have ever seen such a scene? The food she ate had always been exquisite, pleasing to the eye, fragrant, and delicious.

Seeing the basin-filled food that looked like pig slop, she immediately lost her appetite.

Dai Mubai, on the other hand, stared at the food on the tables and exclaimed, "We're really splurging today! There's meat!"

Following Dai Mubai's gaze, they saw a few scattered chunks of pale fatty pork floating among the potatoes in one basin, while a thick layer of lard covered the surface of the soup.

Still, out of courtesy, Ning Rongrong did not complain about the terrible food in front of the women. After picking for a while, she served herself half a bowl of porridge and took half a small plate of pickled vegetables.

The cafeteria women were delighted. Whatever the students did not eat would be theirs. They were ordinary farmers from the village and only got to eat meat a few times a year.

Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, Li Chen, and Xiao Wu were the same. They truly could not stomach the food. Only Dai Mubai happily ate a whole basin of potatoes stewed with fatty pork, leaving everyone staring wide-eyed.

Ning Rongrong asked curiously, "Senior, how can you eat that?"

Everyone's gaze gathered on Dai Mubai, who was wolfing down his food.

Dai Mubai blinked. "Don't call me Senior. There are only a few students here, and I'm a few years older than you. Just call me Boss from now on. If anything comes up, I'll look after you!"

"Cultivating as Soul Masters consumes a lot of physical strength, so naturally we need to eat our fill. You don't have classes these next two days, so it's fine if you eat less. But once formal classes begin, you must eat enough. The training load at Shrek Academy is very heavy."

"The food here may taste bad, but the basic nutrition is fairly complete."

Xiao Wu asked curiously, "Boss Dai, you're so rich, so why don't you buy your own food? Or give the money to the academy and have them make something tasty? I feel like if I had to eat this every day, I'd lose all hope in life."

Dai Mubai was completely stunned by the question. Right, the dean was stingy and served them such awful food. Since he had money, why not just give it to the dean? How had he been so stupid?

Bang!

Dai Mubai's eyes immediately lit up, and he set the food basin in his hands onto the table.

"You're too smart, Xiao Wu! From now on, we can eat delicious food every day. How did I not think of that? Let's eat out today—I'm treating!"

"Yay!" Ning Rongrong clapped happily. Though the porridge and pickled vegetables were barely edible, she really did not want to eat this sort of food every day.

"Let's go!"

"By the way, Boss Dai, do you know any skilled chefs? Let's hire a couple for Shrek Academy. I know a little about cooking too. Of course, I'll pay to hire the chefs."

Dai Mubai thought for a moment. "I actually know one. His name is Little Fat Round."

Pfft!

Ning Rongrong could not help laughing. "Little Fat Round? That name is way too funny."

"Don't underestimate him. Not only is he a chef, he's also a level-fifty Soul King. His Martial Soul is Little Fat Pig. I heard his Innate Soul Power reached level eight. He even had a chance to strive for the realm of a Titled Douluo, but he only liked cooking."

"He owns Fat Pig Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Suotuo City. Dishes personally made by him are extremely hard to come by. A single dish of corn stewed with pork ribs once sold for the sky-high price of ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. Things like scallion tofu or stir-fried cabbage may use ordinary ingredients, but in his hands, they become delicacies no one else can make."

Li Chen asked curiously, "Does he have some secret recipe? He's only a Soul King. A Soul King shouldn't be able to protect such a large restaurant, right?"

"Brother, you actually thought of that. What you don't know is that he cooks so well because of his Martial Soul, which makes him extremely sensitive to the taste of food. Also, his restaurant basically doesn't serve ingredients infused with Soul Power, while the other restaurants with powerful backers mainly earn money from Soul Masters."

"You could say his restaurant's main customers are relatively wealthy ordinary people. There are many customers, but the profits are far below those restaurants that cater to Soul Masters. That's why he has been able to keep it running until now."

Li Chen asked, "Then is there any way to recruit him? Is there something he especially likes?"

For someone with such specialized talent, he definitely did not lack money, so catering to his preferences was crucial. Didn't Tang San use a single blueprint in the original story to run Lou Gao in circles?

When they reached the village entrance, they saw from afar a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old village girl arguing with a lewd fat man.

The girl was not particularly beautiful, but she was quite delicate-looking. At that moment, she spoke fearfully to the short, stout man with a small mustache.

"Please let me go. I really don't want to be with you anymore."

"Cuihua, I've treated you so well, yet you want to break up with me! Fine, we can break up, but we have to do it one more time!"

Little Fatty blocked Cuihua as she tried to flee, extending his greasy fat hand to pull the young girl into his arms.

"Please, let me go. I really can't take it anymore. Please have mercy."

The girl suddenly dropped to her knees and pleaded through tears.

"No. I said one more time, so it has to be one more time. It's not like you don't know—my Evil Fire has flared up, and I have to deal with it!"

"Cuihua, don't blame me!"

First is Strength, Second is Speed!

Two rays of colored light shot from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand and entered Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's bodies.

"You dead fat bastard! You lecherous scoundrel! In broad daylight, you're forcing yourself on a woman and going against her wishes!"

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing rushed over, launching two attacks at Ma Hongjun without another word.

Ma Hongjun released Cuihua's hand and nimbly stepped back. He was not injured, partly because they were too far away and he had been prepared.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, the cold beauty in tight black leather with a voluptuous figure, and Xiao Wu, pure and adorable in her sailor outfit, Ma Hongjun immediately began drooling.

"Two little sisters, are you jealous? How about you become my girlfriends?"

Ma Hongjun said with a lovestruck look on his face, drool hanging from his mouth!
