He Was Clearly a Total Scumbag

Expect!

All five of them were filled with anticipation. At this moment, not only was their saliva flowing like crazy, but some of them couldn't help but lick their lips...

I've never looked forward to this much before!

But after realizing what had happened, they felt extremely embarrassed.

Although they were just "soldier" in the Resident Happiness Living Department, they were still carefully selected from various local units.

Leaving aside delicacies, even the normal daily food is incredibly nutritious and delicious.

Otherwise, they simply couldn't sustain their high-intensity training every day.

In short...

What delicious food haven't I tried?

But now, I long for even a single grain of rice!

One grain of rice!

Just one!

Are you drooling with anticipation?

This is simply...

But they just couldn't control their expectations and desires, as if what they saw in front of them wasn't a grain of rice, but a Immortal Pill, and an incredibly delicious Immortal Pill.

This is especially true when you smell the faint aroma of rice.

Feeling this way about a single grain of rice—isn't that embarrassing?

However, what they didn't know was that this was actually a normal phenomenon.

Because they had never eaten ' Spirit Rice ' or ' Spiritual Object ' before, and as cultivators who had already begun their cultivation journey, their bodies had an instinctive craving for ' Spiritual Object '.

But after smelling this scent, one will naturally feel an overwhelming sense of anticipation.

However, part of the reason is also because it's the 'first time'.

Just like Qi Saintess, she has eaten countless high-end Spirit Fruit, but after coming to Earth, she became interested in steamed buns, milk tea, and even junk food, finding them very delicious.

Why?

Firstly, it's because of hunger. When you're hungry, how could steamed buns not taste good?

Secondly, it's because they've never eaten it before.

Although fragrances and similar substances are unhealthy, they are undeniably fragrant, and their scent is completely different from that of Spirit Fruit and other Spiritual Object.

With both of them combined, Qi Zixiao naturally enjoyed the meal very much.

Although their current state is not exactly the same as Qi Zixiao's back then, there are still many similarities.

However, just as they were frantically swallowing their saliva and staring longingly at the pitiful six grains of rice in the steamer, as if they were seeing a blood-soaked zombie, and were extremely tempted, Lin Fan said quietly, "I will never eat alone!"

"Mmm!"

"Of course Mister Lin wouldn't!"

"Mister Lin truly lives up to his Mister Lin!"

The five men immediately began to flatter him.

but...

Lin Fan added, "I'll eat meat, and you can all drink the soup! Even though I don't have any meat to eat right now, you can still drink the soup!"

"Here you go, the rice porridge is."

He pointed to about a thousand milliliters of 'rice soup' that he had just cooked until the rice was half-cooked, and said, "You guys share it and drink it."

The five people. "..."

(⊙o⊙)

In that instant, all five of them were stunned. They never expected that his so-called 'fairness' would be such a fair thing.

I would never eat alone.

Hey?

It seems there's nothing wrong with it; I really didn't eat it all by myself. But this rice porridge... well...

Upon closer inspection, they were surprised to find that the rice porridge was actually quite appealing!

What the heck?!

The five people looked at each other, each of them somewhat bewildered.

"What on earth is going on?!"

"We clearly ate, and even if we've mostly digested it, it shouldn't be like this, right? We're not some starving ghost reincarnated!"

"This is rice water! And it's a full 1,000 milliliters of water, made from six grains of rice. It looks almost exactly like plain water, and I actually want to drink it just by looking at it?"

"Are you crazy?!"

They were internally ranting and raving, instinctively wanting to refuse, but...

That unattainable longing, however, made it impossible for them to refuse.

Then, each person took a small bowl and drank the nearly 1,000 milliliters of 'rice soup' that looked like boiled water but had a faint aroma of rice.

I was initially somewhat resistant.

But after the delicious rice soup was swallowed, all five of them squinted their eyes and exclaimed, "It's delicious!"

"Mmm, it's delicious!"

"The fragrance is actually quite strong."

"It tastes better than any other beverage, and it's so comforting."

"It's a pity I didn't awaken any special abilities..."

They spoke in succession, making Lin Fan's lips twitch.

Special abilities?!

Although there are many kinds of Spirit Rice, I've never heard of any kind of Spirit Rice that awakens special abilities. Or rather, Spirit Rice isn't something that exists for awakening special abilities at all!

Even if we take a step back and say...

Even if Earth's Spirit Rice is extraordinary and can awaken special abilities, you still have to eat the entire Spirit Rice plant, right?!

Just like eating the strange fruits that grow from mutated wild grasses, if you don't eat the whole thing, how can you awaken any superpowers?

What about now?

Forget about cooking and eating the entire ear of rice from a single stalk; you didn't even eat a single grain of rice, just drank some broth, and it was diluted like this...

Besides being able to taste it, what other benefits do you want?

How come you're even more far-fetched than me?

This guy wanted to laugh, but couldn't quite manage it, and once again felt the importance of popularizing the 'Encyclopedia of Cultivation'.

This is still due to a lack of knowledge!

Otherwise, why would someone have such an idea?

If a soup diluted like this could awaken special abilities, is this really Spirit Rice? It's more like Immortal Medicine!

"No, I need to discuss with the Resident Happiness Living Department -being to print out the things in the Cultivation Encyclopedia that don't currently affect my interests."

"To educate people on the basics of cultivating immortality, so that they don't just make wild guesses and can only speculate through novels."

"This way... I can also become a bestselling author of physical books. Hmm, another title!"

He quickly made a decision in his mind and grinned at the five men. "By the way, brothers, I still don't know your names?"

The five men were taken aback. They straightened their expressions and were about to speak when they heard this guy say again, "Well... it doesn't really matter. A name is just a label!"

"We've had the pleasure of dining together, so we're friends!"

"..."

????

They were filled with questions and somewhat bewildered.

Want to have dinner together?

What did we eat?

Does drinking some rice porridge count?

It tastes really good...

They were both amused and exasperated.

Lin Fan continued, "Friends, now that you've all tasted this Spirit Rice, why don't you write down the Old Man's 'review' of it?"

"Okay, that's it!"

"Each of you write a review of the meal, and they can't be the same. Then hand them in to me."

Holy crap?!

The five men felt a chill run down their spines.

At the same time, I felt that the image of this powerful cultivator, the strongest person in the world, was constantly crumbling...

Originally, everyone held Lin Fan in the highest esteem and thought he must be an old monster who had been cultivating for countless years.

Therefore, everyone in the Resident Happiness Living Department was very reserved when facing Lin Fan and dared not act recklessly.

But now, um...

They realized they were wrong!

That's completely wrong!

This doesn't look like an old monster at all.

This guy is clearly a complete scumbag!

They even claimed to be fair and gave us soup... Damn, they were clearly just waiting for us to get here!

So, this person doesn't want to write a review themselves, so they're just trying to copy us or something?!

Sobbing

They were so upset they were almost in tears.

They wouldn't give me a single grain of rice, and I still had to write a review about it.

Waaaaah...

What's most infuriating is that you can't refuse to write it down. The people above have all said that as long as the orders from this big shot in front of you don't harm the country or the people, or violate any kind of 'code of honor', you have to obey.

In other words, they still have to write...

All five brothers were in a terrible predicament.

Just then, Lin Fan waved his hand lightly, and five pens and five sheets of paper flew over and landed in their hands respectively.

"Come, come, sit down and write, write slowly."

"You can't copy from each other, and you can't repeat anything!"

"Duplicates don't count!"

Lin Fan had a stern face, looking just like an old scholar.

In fact, this guy is now 'experiencing' what it's like to be a teacher in advance.

"..."

The five men were speechless, choked with emotion. What else could they do? Write it down!

At this moment, they looked just like aggrieved elementary school students.

You were still happily called by the teacher to watch a movie, but the movie wasn't changed. Instead, it was a movie that preached moral lessons. That's fine, you're happy as long as you don't have to go to class, right?

I just got back to the classroom after watching the movie...

"Come on, students, let's assign homework."

"XXX review essay, no less than 400 words."

What were the students' feelings at that moment?

That's exactly how the five of them feel right now, or even more so.

At least those elementary school students watched a movie; what about us?

I only took a sip of the soup!

Waaaaah...

Seeing the five people looking 'despair', scratching their heads and struggling to put pen to paper...

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he opened his mouth and sucked, and the six still-warm grains of rice flew into his mouth on their own.

The aroma of the Spirit Rice burst forth instantly, not strong, just the faint fragrance of cooked rice, yet it was exceptionally appealing.

Unfortunately, there were only six, which is far too few.

Before you even have a chance to enjoy it, it's already chewed up and swallowed.

As Lin Fan carefully sensed the rice, a faint spiritual energy rose from his digestive tract as he swallowed it, and was then instantly absorbed by his body...

And then?

That's all.

After all, he is already Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. What more could he want with just six Spirit Rice?

Moreover, he is not a ruthless analytical machine; it's impossible for him to know exactly what molecules and elements are in what he ingests.

Lin Fan began to ponder this.

"Luckily, I was quick-witted and caught five scapegoats, so I could copy their work. Otherwise, writing this kind of food review would probably give me a terrible headache."

You can't just write: It tastes good, and it even has spiritual energy that you can absorb, right?

"However, one thing is certain: if there is enough of this kind of Spirit Rice, it will definitely satisfy my spiritual energy needs for cultivation."

"At least before the Great Ascension Stage, it should be sufficient."

"Unfortunately, it's unclear how long it will take to cultivate them in large quantities."

"Wait a minute? This Spirit Rice seems to have some pretty useful effects!"

He suddenly made a discovery.
