"Oh my God, there's actually milk and instant noodles here!" Luo Ye's eyes practically lit up. Heaven knew how long it had been since he had tasted milk or smelled the aroma of instant noodles.

Back when he had been so poor he could only eat dirt, he used to buy boxes of instant noodles and eat them every day until he wanted to puke. Who would have thought there would come a day when he missed that cheap instant noodle smell so much?

But there was no helping it. He had transmigrated to Meteor City, where even the foods he had once only reluctantly accepted because they were cheap had become things he could only long for.

He picked up several cups of instant noodles and examined them excitedly, his expression full of happiness. "How lucky! They're instant noodles that haven't even expired yet!"

Before, he would turn his nose up at them if they did not taste good. Now, just finding unexpired instant noodles was enough to delight him. He really was regressing the longer he lived.

Still, Rasa was truly capable to have hoarded so much food in a place as lacking in clothing and food as Meteor City.

His luck had just been a little bad. He had run into them, and everything he had painstakingly gathered had become their spoils of war.

It just went to show that if you could enjoy something, you should enjoy it. Otherwise, someone else might end up enjoying it for you.

Illumi was doing slightly better than him, but he was still pleasantly surprised as he looked at the medicine on the ground. "There's medicine here too."

His family had sent him into Meteor City, and he had some strength, so keeping himself fed was still possible. But things like medicine were somewhat scarce.

Yet he was now in Meteor City. If he was injured and had no medicine, dragging out his injuries would definitely affect how well he could use his strength.

Now things were better. With medicine, he could treat himself if he was injured, greatly increasing his chances of surviving in Meteor City.

Feitan stepped forward and blocked his view, his gaze wary. "These supplies were found by Yezi. Yezi should choose first."

It was unrealistic to give Illumi none of this much stuff. Unevenly divided spoils could easily cause conflict, especially since Illumi was not weak.

He would rather give up some things than invite that sort of trouble. He thought Yezi probably felt the same way, which was why Yezi had brought Illumi here so quickly.

But medicine was even scarcer than food in Meteor City. They could rob others for food, and even moldy bread could fill their stomachs, but medicine was different.

When they got sick, there were no doctors. They could only take whatever medicine they could find and endure it, so Feitan wanted to keep all the medicine. Of course, he knew that was unlikely.

But they could choose first and give Illumi whatever was left. That was entirely feasible.

Receiving Feitan's resistance, Illumi could only take a step back. "I never said I would take first. You choose first, and give me what's left."

Though he loved money, he still knew the rules.

Feitan and Luo Ye had contributed greatly to killing Rasa, so it was only right that they took the larger share of Rasa's belongings.

However, Luo Ye put down the instant noodles, walked over, and extended an invitation to him. "There's no need to divide things so clearly, is there? Aren't you going to teach us Nen abilities next? Why don't you join us? We can all use the things we collect together. What do you think?"

The adult Illumi might not have joined another group and diluted his own earnings, but the Illumi they had encountered was still underage.

He would have to remain in Meteor City for quite a long time. His child's body meant his strength had yet to reach its peak, and he would still encounter danger in Meteor City.

If Illumi was willing to join them and grow together, then they would gain a teacher for Nen abilities, while he would gain companions who could support one another. It was a win-win situation.
