Ding! Someone was detected feeling shocked by and attracted to the Host. Gained 16 Points!
Haha! I even got points for grilling fish. Awesome!
Even after the fireball vanished, everyone was still holding their breath, their faces full of shock.
His points rose by another six, bringing his total to 24.
Ling Feng, meanwhile, took a few steps forward, crouched before the grilled fish, and drew in a deep breath of their aroma.
"Mmm! Not bad, not bad! Just the right amount of heat!"
Then Ling Feng fanned them with his hand, hoping they would cool down sooner so he could eat them.
The aroma of grilled fish spread in every direction.
Soon, he heard several people swallowing.
Was a fancy boxed lunch really so impressive?
Was a special Uchiha boxed lunch really that amazing?
Out here, it was still just cold food!
Please. My grilled fish were fresh off the fire!
"That smells so good!"
Might Guy followed the aroma over, drool practically running down his chin.
Ling Feng looked up and was startled by the sight of Might Guy's enormous nostrils frantically sucking in the aroma.
"Want some?" Ling Feng asked.
Might Guy nodded so hard his head nearly fell off.
"Here's one. Go ahead and eat! Just watch out for the bones!"
They were all classmates, and sharing was important. Ling Feng wasn't stingy.
"Thank you, Ling Feng! You're so thoughtful, too! I'll eat every last bite!"
Might Guy gave him a thumbs-up in heartfelt approval.
Ding! Gained 2 Points!
Watching Might Guy grab a grilled fish and dig in with relish made everyone else terribly envious.
They couldn't help it. The grilled fish smelled far too good!
Finally, even the icy Kakashi couldn't resist. He walked up to Ling Feng and said, "I'll trade my food for one."
At that, the corners of Ling Feng's mouth curled upward.
So much for the aloof boy. Sorry!
Everyone was equal before delicious food!
"No need. If you want one, just take it. We're classmates. You don't have to be so polite."
With that, Ling Feng picked one up and handed it straight to Kakashi.
Kakashi froze. He barely ever spoke to Ling Feng-or, for that matter, anyone else in their class.
Might Guy was the only one who ever came to spar with him and exchange a few words.
He had expected Ling Feng to hesitate, but instead, he had agreed without a second thought and even given it to him for free.
Was this friendship?
"Thank you, Ling Feng!"
Ding! Gained 4 Points!
That gave Ling Feng pause. It was the same gratitude and appreciation, so why had Kakashi given him four points?
After thinking it over, he figured it might be because Kakashi rarely admired anyone, so the reward had doubled.
Then, before Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara could speak, Ling Feng brought fish over to both of them.
"I ate some of your food earlier, so these two grilled fish are for you. I hope you like them."
As he spoke, Ling Feng flashed a bright, handsome smile.
That smile instantly melted Kurenai Yuhi's and Rin Nohara's young, yearning hearts.
Ding! Gained 40 Points!
Whoa!
Was this the power of love?
That was incredible!
Love it, love it! Forty points in one go. I felt like I'd just struck it rich!
Once he finished handing out the fish, Ling Feng found a rock to sit on and happily began eating his own.
Only Asuma and Obito Uchiha were left watching longingly, their mouths watering faster than they could swallow.
They wanted some too, but remembering how they had treated Ling Feng earlier, how could they possibly ask?
Compared with the grilled fish in Ling Feng's hands, the fancy boxed lunch and the Uchiha Clan's one-of-a-kind lunch suddenly seemed utterly tasteless. They were nothing but cold food!
As for Ling Feng, he hadn't even spared either of them a proper glance.
Want some?
Dream on!
After eating, Ling Feng let out a satisfied breath and said to everyone, "Next time we come out to have fun, I'll grill some more for you."
"Yay! Ling Feng's grilled fish are absolutely delicious!"
Everyone cheered loudly at his words.
Ding! Gained 8 Points!
Ling Feng now had 80 points. He had thought they would be hard to earn, yet he had gained 80 in the time it took to eat a meal. Awesome!
Once he got 100 points, he could redeem them for something good and high-level.
Although he hadn't decided what to get yet, having points meant he wouldn't be short when he needed them!
After the experiences of his previous life, Ling Feng placed great importance on money.
Besides, with points, he could redeem almost anything of value in this world!
Next, they rested where they were.
Just then, Ling Feng noticed Asuma and Obito getting up, preparing to move somewhere else.
He spoke up. "You two, didn't you have something to say to me?"
The moment he spoke, everyone turned to look.
Asuma shuddered, then went rigid.
Obito shrank back even further.
Everyone else was confused, but Asuma and Obito knew exactly what he meant.
Just yesterday, they had threatened to beat Ling Feng up. But after seeing his Great Fireball Technique, only an idiot would still demand a fight!
"W-we don't have anything to say."
Asuma scratched his head and played dumb.
Beside him, Obito lowered his head, not daring to speak.
"Really? Didn't you say you wanted to fight me one-on-one outside the classroom yesterday? We've just had our fill, so I've got plenty of energy. You two should be well rested too, right?"
Leaning against the rock, Ling Feng spoke casually.
Fighting those two would be like a father beating his sons!
There were three whole ranks between them.
Academy rookies versus a Konoha jonin!
Obito chickened out and immediately raised his hand. "It was just a misunderstanding! Don't take it seriously, Ling Feng!"
Asuma's expression changed. Damn it, what an idiot teammate!
Couldn't we have just kept our mouths shut and pretended we didn't know anything?
Now that you'd opened your big mouth, hadn't you admitted it?
"What? You really wanted to challenge Ling Feng? Don't you know students aren't allowed to fight?"
Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara immediately voiced their displeasure.
Asuma sighed and hurried away with Obito, thoroughly embarrassed. In this situation, staying would only get them scolded.
"Forget it, Kurenai, Rin. They were probably just joking. I didn't take it seriously."
Ling Feng spoke up then.
Only after hearing Ling Feng say that did Rin Nohara and Kurenai Yuhi let the matter drop.
"Ling Feng, if there's a chance, I'd like to test myself against you. Just a spar, of course."
Kakashi walked up to Ling Feng and spoke with complete seriousness.
At that, Ling Feng smiled faintly. "Sure, but not now. Let's do it at school. We'll have a chance."
"All right, has everyone rested enough? Let's go soak in the hot springs!"
Ling Feng stood and asked the others.
"Yes, let's go! Nothing beats a soak in the hot springs!"
At his words, everyone stood up and cheered.
