The Economic Crisis Brought by the Big Eater (New Book Launch, All Kinds of Requests)

That night, at the Kent home, when they learned that Robet had regained his senses, The Kents were overjoyed. The burden in their hearts finally lifted, and they no longer had to worry about what would happen when Robet grew up.

At Clark's suggestion, the family decided to prepare a grand feast to celebrate. But with Robet repeatedly saying he was hungry, they kept adding more food. In the end, the feast was enough to feed ten people.

Yet neither The Kents nor Clark had expected Robet to be such a voracious eater.

"Nom! Nom! Nom!" If The Kent Family had known any idioms, they could have described the way Robet ate as wolfing down food or sweeping through it like a whirlwind.

The Kent Family:

(⊙⊙)

((((;゜Д゜)))

(□;)

While The Kent Family was still frozen in shock, Robet had already wiped out every bit of food on the table except for what remained on their individual plates.

And at that moment, Robet finally understood why Son Goku and the others could eat so much.

Robet had experienced hunger after great battles in Dragon Ball World before, but even at his hungriest, he had only eaten as much as several people.

But now, even after eating the equivalent of seven people's portions, Robet still had no idea what feeling full was like.

He even realized that this body of his, which had exhausted all its strength in battle, had never once been full in fifteen years...

After all, Robet's consciousness had not awakened before. Only his basic instincts had sustained his movements, and he had needed to avoid seeming different from ordinary people, so his daily food intake had been no different from a normal person's.

Perhaps that was one of the reasons why Robet was already fifteen years old but still only five foot three!

Yes, that had to be the reason! Robet thought firmly to himself.

"Robet, are you sure eating that much won't make you sick?" Martha looked at Robet worriedly. "No matter how hungry you are, you can't eat so much in one go. What if you hurt yourself from overeating?"

"Mom, don't worry. The food he ate has already been digested, and it looks like he still isn't full..." After carefully observing Robet, Clark's mouth twitched slightly as he spoke helplessly.

"Huh?" Martha and Jonathan looked at each other, momentarily unsure what to say. Or rather, they had never expected that the unusual thing about their second alien son would be his appetite.

"Um, should I make some more food?" After a while, Martha came back to her senses. Seeing Robet awkwardly rubbing his stomach, she suddenly smiled. She felt that this was what her son should be like—a real, living person. That blank, dull state from before had only made him seem like a robot.

Compared to that, Martha preferred this emotional, lively Robet, even if his appetite did give her quite a headache.

If Robet eating this much was normal, then the time, energy, and money she spent preparing food would probably increase by a great deal...

"No need! I'll just go find something to eat outside!" Robet hurriedly stopped Martha. He knew it wouldn't do for him to keep eating like this at home. When it came to food, he needed to be self-reliant.

After all, a Saiyan's appetite was simply too great a burden for a family.

Just look at Chi-Chi. Before marrying Son Goku, she had been a moderately wealthy young lady, but after marrying him, she had learned how to live frugally and manage the household. Because of the family's financial troubles, she had even reluctantly sent Son Gohan, whom she had raised to be a scholar, to compete in the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament for the prize money...

Robet knew The Kent Family was not poor. At the very least, the Kents, who owned a farm, lived fairly comfortably—especially with young and strong Clark able to help out, and Jonathan free of any illness or injury.

It could be said that The Kent Family had enough financial means to raise two children, or even let both children remain on the farm, marry, have children, and continue the family line.

But that was for normal children. With a Saiyan's appetite like Robet's, if he ate without restraint, then even if he only ate the cheapest food, the Kent family would be bankrupt within a few years!

So Robet decisively grabbed some seasonings and ran out of the house, vanishing into the night.

"Robet! Where are you going?" Jonathan and Martha both panicked as they watched Robet rush outside. Going out in the middle of the night was hardly safe.

"It's fine. I'll follow him, so nothing will happen. Finish eating and get some rest early!" Clark roughly understood what Robet intended to do. He comforted The Kents before heading outside as well.

"You be careful too!" Even though they knew what Clark was capable of, The Kents still reminded him cautiously. Then they sat at the dining table with sighs, eating their food without much appetite.

"Robet really is such a good child. He only just recovered, yet he's already so considerate..." Martha sighed softly after a while.

"He just eats too much. We won't even have to wash the plates anymore—I'm worried he'll eat those too..." Jonathan smiled helplessly. This was no longer a case of a growing boy eating his father out of house and home. This was a full-on march toward bankruptcy.

"Do you think Robet is so short because his race eats a lot, but he was never allowed to eat his fill before?" Martha suddenly thought of something and asked hesitantly, guilt evident in her voice.

"This..." Jonathan froze when he heard that. He hesitated too, feeling that it was not impossible.

Teenagers naturally ate more while growing, and if Robet had never been full before, he really might have suffered from stunted growth.

Thinking of that, Jonathan felt guilty as well. He then gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "If it comes to it, we'll take out another loan and buy another farm. With Clark helping out, I barely need to do any work anymore..."

"This..." Martha hesitated at his words. After all, Jonathan was no longer young, and his health had already begun to decline. "Let's wait until Clark gets back and discuss it with him!"

"Come to think of it, I remember there being some kind of hamburger eating contest in Missouri? Should we let Robet give it a try? With his appetite, I don't think anyone could beat him!" Jonathan's mind raced as he suddenly looked at Martha excitedly.

"Even if he can't win first place, at least he can have a proper meal, right? It's an eating contest in the first place, so no matter how much Robet eats, no one will think anything is strange!"

"Let's wait until the children get back before we talk about it!" Martha was tempted by the idea, but she quickly shook her head and looked outside worriedly. "I wonder where they went to find food, bringing seasonings with them and all..."
