Reality Feedback - Energy Replenishment

As the darkness receded, Feng Qi returned to reality.

He reached out and pressed the switch on the bedside table, and the light illuminated the room.

The two lines of text that appeared before he left the dream left Feng Qi somewhat confused.

"Initial energy depleted? What does that mean?"

After a long silence, unable to figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it.

After getting up, he could clearly feel that his physique had changed significantly again. At the same time, a strong sense of hunger surged into his heart, giving him an urgent desire to eat.

Opening the refrigerator, he took out some ingredients and turned to the kitchen.

Compared to the canned food in the refrigerator, Feng Qi still preferred to eat something hot.

The dormitory at Star City Academy was fully equipped and provided him with the opportunity to cook as he pleased.

Skillfully cracking two eggs into a bowl, he used an egg beater to mix the egg whites and yolks, then washed the tomatoes and cut them into pieces.

After heating the pan, he added two spoonfuls of oil. When the oil was hot, he poured the beaten eggs into the pan.

As the oil came into contact with the egg whites, a fragrant aroma wafted to his nose, and Feng Qi's stomach protested.

He suppressed his hunger, chopped a pinch of green onions and sprinkled them into the pan. After they were slightly heated, he added the tomatoes and stir-fried.

The aroma grew stronger and stronger. After the juice overflowed, Feng Qi habitually sprinkled salt and sugar and continued to stir-fry.

At this point, the fried rice had changed color. Each grain of rice was round and plump, covered with a layer of transparent golden yellow on the outside.

Before attending Star City High School, Feng Qi had always lived alone.

Because his parents were members of a Domain Battle Squad and were away all year round, they had little contact with him except for sending money home from time to time. Therefore, he learned how to be self-reliant from a young age.

Cooking was second nature to him.

He wasn't particularly picky about food, but he treated every dish he cooked himself with extra care.

Looking at the rice in the pot, he finally added water and starch. When the sauce thickened, a pot of golden Tomato Egg Fried Rice was ready.

Hungry, he immediately began to eat heartily, finishing the entire pot of Tomato Egg Fried Rice in a moment.

After licking his lips with satisfaction, he was about to get up when a panel popped up in his mind.

Energy is being replenished, current energy 02%

The percentage of current energy points on the panel was slowly increasing at this moment, jumping by 001% with each jump.

"Eating can replenish energy?"

Feng Qi suspected that the numbers jumping on the panel were related to the fried rice that was still digesting in his stomach.

What surprised him even more was that he could now see the virtual panel that only appeared in dreams in the real world.

The difference was that the virtual panel in the dream displayed body attributes, while the virtual panel in reality showed an energy replenishment progress bar and numbers.

As for what would happen when the progress bar on the panel reached the top, he was completely clueless.

With no answer, Feng Qi returned to the bedroom.

For the rest of the time, he decided to continue sleeping and learn a new cultivation method in the dream. The next morning, he would go to the library and continue to study Cultivation Method Research in depth.

Since he had decided to put on a big show, he couldn't neglect the basics. He had already planned his schedule for the coming days.

After washing up and lying in bed, Feng Qi's breathing gradually calmed, and his expression became peaceful.

The next morning, Feng Qi woke up slowly.

Rubbing his messy hair, he was a little confused.

He had slept very comfortably and woke up without any fatigue, but the problem was that he hadn't entered the future world in his dream after falling asleep.

"Did I lose the ability to enter dreams?!"

Then he suddenly thought of the energy replenishment progress bar that had appeared in his mind last night.

"Could it be that I need to fill the energy bar before I can enter the dream again?"

"One meal only replenished 12% of the energy. Wouldn't I need to eat a thousand meals to replenish all the energy!"

"Damn it!"

It was already light. After getting up and washing up, Feng Qi headed straight for the academy cafeteria.

The pot of fried rice last night had only stopped his hunger; he was far from full. After waking up from his sleep, he felt a strong sense of hunger again.

The changes in his body reminded him of Mu Qing, who also had an astonishing appetite.

She was a Rune Modifier, and her power came from Domain Creatures, which resulted in her astonishing appetite. She could also absorb power from food; the more she ate, the faster her strength grew.

Although he didn't have Mu Qing's astonishing appetite and couldn't gain power from food, he felt that he was essentially very similar to Mu Qing, also gaining abilities from Domain Creatures.

The difference was that he didn't need to embed Rune Crystals in his body, and the abilities he gained from Domain Creatures would be added to him in the form of prefix titles.

Thinking about it this way, Feng Qi suddenly felt that he and Mu Qing seemed to be of the same kind – both monsters!

On the way to the academy cafeteria, Feng Qi was ready to eat heartily and replenish his energy progress bar at the same time.

Arriving at the academy cafeteria, Feng Qi saw many students already there, trays in hand, moving between the food counters. The mixed aroma of various foods wafted over, and his stomach couldn't help but let out a "roar."

Scanning his surroundings, his gaze locked onto Mu Qing, who was sitting in a corner.

Her table was already piled high with various foods. Compared to the crowded areas elsewhere, her surroundings were particularly empty. Clearly, no one was willing to approach her.

Taking a tray, Feng Qi began selecting his breakfast.

Molten cheese tarts, scallion potato egg pancakes, banana crepes, rice noodle rolls, fried dough sticks, bagged soy milk (one sweet, one savory), sticky rice balls... He didn't stop until his tray was completely full.

"Young man, while the food is free, waste is shameful," the cafeteria auntie said, looking at Feng Qi with a serious expression.

"Auntie is right!"

Feng Qi grinned, and casually grabbed another burger.

The cafeteria auntie: ...

After getting his food, he walked towards Mu Qing, placed his tray on her table, and sat down beside her.

Mu Qing, who was eating heartily, immediately looked up. Seeing Feng Qi sitting in front of her, her expression remained calm, but a hint of surprise flickered in her eyes.

Feng Qi didn't say anything. He picked up a sticky rice ball, added some pickled vegetables, grabbed a fried dough stick, rolled them together, and took a big bite.

"Why are you sitting here?"

"Why can't I sit here? Did you open this cafeteria? It's so crowded everywhere else, and you have so many empty seats here!" Feng Qi replied without lifting his head.

Hearing this, Mu Qing was stunned. Looking at Feng Qi eating heartily, she immediately ignored him.

Feng Qi's appearance also attracted the attention of many students in the cafeteria. They weren't surprised by Feng Qi's appetite, but rather by the fact that he was sitting in front of Mu Qing.

How terrifying Mu Qing was, the students who knew her were well aware.

Once, when she lost control, she almost beat a student to death on the spot. If a passing teacher hadn't intervened, that unlucky student would have been permanently disabled even if they hadn't died.

This was one of the reasons why no one was willing to approach Mu Qing, because they might be killed by a rampaging Mu Qing at any time.

In the eyes of many students, Feng Qi's actions were completely courting death.

Feng Qi directly chose to ignore the surprised looks around him.

A moment later, Mu Qing looked up.

Looking at Feng Qi, who was still wolfing down his food, her expression was surprised. Her need to eat a large amount of food was related to her special physique; ordinary food was quickly digested in her stomach, leaving her constantly hungry.

But Feng Qi was just an ordinary person, and such an appetite seemed a bit outrageous.

"What are you looking at... Eat... It won't taste good when it's cold!"

Feng Qi, his mouth full of food, looked up at Mu Qing. As he spoke, he casually grabbed a pork chop from Mu Qing's tray and stuffed it into his mouth, showing no sign of being a stranger.

Mu Qing:
