Chapter 167: #167 - Overeating

Hearing what the true god said, and knowing that the next exam would be a food eating contest, many of the contestants were shocked and began to think about their advantages and disadvantages in this area.

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, secretly thinking that the next exam would be a chance to eat and drink for free?

"A buffet, is it?" Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I must eat back the registration fee, transportation fee, and transfer fee."

Bai Zhenzhen guessed, "Will the next exam be an unlimited all-you-can-eat of pre-made meals? Wouldn't that be awesome?"

Zhang Yu said from the side, "We're participating in the Foundation Establishment exam, how could we eat pre-made meals? At least it should be high-value, hard-to-digest things like demon beast meat, that's good for the exam, right?"

Just as the two were discussing what they could eat in the next exam, Yu Xinghan walked up to them and said, "This is the Immortal Capital, it's normal to eat dragon meat in the next exam."

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with longing, and the saliva in his mouth couldn't help but start secreting frantically.

Hearing the words 'dragon meat', Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were both startled, and then a little disbelieving.

"Unlimited dragon meat?" Zhang Yu said, "Isn't that too exaggerated?"

Yu Xinghan said, "What is dragon meat in the Immortal Capital?

"Which of these Immortal Capital people here isn't a rich person? Ordinary food isn't enough for them to digest."

He nodded in the direction of Yun Jing and said, "See that number 11? He's a famous figure in Immortal Capital High School. It's said that he spends tens of millions a month just on outsourcing his cultivation."

Bai Zhenzhen exclaimed, "These damn rich people are really rich, where do they get so much money?"

Yu Xinghan said, "They're from the layer... you from the 1st layer wouldn't understand the things of the layer."

Bai Zhenzhen: "Then how did you on the 1st layer find out about the layer's news?"

Yu Xinghan said, "Isn't that from my master? He's always been paying attention to all kinds of information in the Immortal Capital."

"After all, this place gathers the wealthiest companies, the most advanced technology, and the students with the most immortal potential from the 1st layer of Kunxu. Paying attention to this place is like paying attention to the weather vane of the future immortal world..."

As he spoke, Yu Xinghan looked at the two and promoted, "Do you want to subscribe to some pioneer news from the immortal world from me? And sharp comments from Golden Core Immortals?"

Paid questions, this is a new business that Yu Xinghan has recently started, which has made him quite wealthy recently.

Zhang Yu was quite interested when he heard this, but when he thought of his current savings, he curled his lips and said, "I'll talk about it later."

Just then, buckets of food were brought to the scene in the expectant gazes of Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, and Yu Xinghan.

But when the bucket lids were opened, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were both disappointed when they saw the synthetic food inside.

Especially those who had been eating synthetic food for several months, felt a sense of nausea when they thought about having to compete to eat this stuff later, and their faces turned green.

Zhang Yu cursed in his heart, "Damn it... I paid 30,000 for the registration fee last time, and I'm eating this?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yu Xinghan's face, and he thought to himself, "How much did these true gods embezzle?"

As the chief examiner, Deng Bingding continued to explain the rules of the exam.

In general, this exam is about seeing who eats the most, and the synthetic food is supplied in unlimited quantities.

During this period, you cannot use spiritual roots, you cannot use mana, in short, you cannot use any power other than the body. Of course, mental techniques, as the power of brain visualization, are also part of the body's power and are not restricted.

Secondly, all kinds of means, including vomiting and hiding food, are also considered cheating. Once discovered, the qualification to take the Foundation Establishment Certificate will be permanently revoked.

Deng Bingding said, "Eating, digesting, and metabolizing are the root of physical strength and a major manifestation of physical strength."

"A true powerhouse must have strong internal organs, as well as a subtle control over everything in the body, and a strong mobilization ability of the stomach and intestines."

"It can be said that the stronger the body, the stronger the digestion ability, and the greater the food intake, this is a necessity."

"This level is to examine your physical strength and control over your body from this aspect."

"If simple running, jumping, and load-bearing are the external skills of the body,"

"Then what I want to test you today is the internal strength of the body."

"Everyone, work hard."

In the blink of an eye, as the exam officially began, a row of bar graphs reappeared on the light curtain in front, indicating the contestant's number and the amount of food.

With the start of 3, 2, 1, the bar graphs in the light curtain immediately soared.

In the loud noise of splashing, a strong man picked up a large bucket and swallowed the synthetic food in the bucket as if he were a whale.

With the frantic influx of synthetic food, there was even a sound like the surging of river water, attracting many students around to look sideways.

The strong man's name was Meng Tao. In the blink of an eye, he swallowed a large bucket of synthetic food, and then couldn't help but frown slightly.

"It's really hard to eat."

The synthetic food in the bucket was not seasoned in any way. In Meng Tao's opinion, it was like eating dirt.

But watching a large bucket of synthetic food being quickly swallowed by him, the pride in his heart had overwhelmed his disgust for the food.

"Hahahaha, I usually use the Gluttony Spirit Root! The digestive system of the whole body has long been accustomed to eating a lot."

"Even if I can't use the Gluttony Spirit Root now, the advantage is definitely not comparable to others."

"In this gluttony exam, I might be able to get into the top three! Or even the top two!"

So just as Meng Tao was frantically devouring synthetic food, his eyes glanced slightly at the light curtain not far away, and then a look of joy appeared in his eyes.

First place, number 23

Second place, number 11

Third place, number 18

Seeing himself ranked third, the first thing that flashed through Meng Tao's mind was naturally a trace of joy.

But when he realized that the first two were constantly widening the gap with him, that trace of joy turned into surprise.

Meng Tao couldn't help but glance in the direction of Yun Jing and Ye Lingxiao, wanting to see how the two were eating.

And this look made him even more shocked.

He saw that Yun Jing's chest was like a big hole opened up. He directly poured the food into this hole in his chest. He didn't need to swallow at all. It was like pouring synthetic food from one bucket into another, pouring it into his body.

Meng Tao was shocked in his heart: "Has he completely given up his sense of taste and swallowing? Eating is like adding fuel to him."

On the other side, Ye Lingxiao suddenly swelled up a lot as his energy and blood became full and his muscles stretched.

Whether it was his limbs, chest, or throat, esophagus, and stomach, they were all greatly enlarged, transforming into a little giant, picking up the food bucket in front of him as if picking up a bigger cup and pouring it into his mouth at will.

Meng Tao thought to himself: "Ye Lingxiao can stretch his physical structure so wantonly..."

"Yun Jing and Ye Lingxiao... these two people's bodies are simply monsters. Do they not have any weaknesses?"

"But fortunately, at least I can get into the top three in this round, which is also very good."

At this moment, Chief Examiner Deng Bingding said indifferently: "Some students may be wondering, why are we using synthetic food for this exam?"

"Because synthetic food is the easiest to digest, the least burdensome, and the most adaptable to various different stomachs. It is suitable for exams."

"I know some people are not used to eating it, but whether you can adapt to the food as soon as possible is also part of this assessment."

Huang Zichou, who was on the side, knew that these were all excuses. The real reason was to save the budget.

"These high school students can eat more than the other. If they really serve some valuable things, wouldn't they eat up the budget? It's better to have enough synthetic food and let them eat whatever they want."

While Deng Bingding was speaking, Dai Xingzhi, who was not far away, was swallowing synthetic food while secretly thinking: "It's really hard to eat."

As a citizen of the North Sixth Ring Road in the Immortal Capital, Dai Xingzhi had hardly eaten synthetic food. In his opinion, it was something specially for poor people who came to the Immortal Capital to work.

Now that he swallowed it in big mouthfuls, he really felt that it was getting more and more difficult to eat and swallow.

He thought to himself: "Not only does the stomach and intestines have to adapt, but the mind must also endure this thing. I'm afraid only those poor ghosts who eat it every day are used to it..."

"Damn it, I'm going to vomit..." Zhang Yu drank a large bucket of synthetic food in front of him with a gloomy face, only feeling a burst of misery in his heart.

"I've been eating this thing every day for so long, I feel like I'm going to vomit, and today I have to compete to eat this thing?"

"Who the hell said that you have to suffer to be a superior person? I used to eat so much synthetic food... it's a drag in the Foundation Establishment exam."

Finally, Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask: "Examiner! Can you add some seasoning?"

Deng Bingding said lightly: "No. Overcoming the sense of taste is a part of cultivation, and it is also one of the contents of this assessment."

Dai Xingzhi looked at Zhang Yu, who made the request, and thought to himself: "Sure enough, he is a rich man."

He looked at Zhang Yu's expression as if he was about to vomit, and thought: "Although it's a bit hard to eat, it's not so exaggerated, right? What kind of things does he usually eat? Is it because he is too rich, so he has always been demanding on taste?"

Even in the Immortal Capital, rich high school students are accustomed to putting the taste of food on the back burner in order to pursue scores and rankings.

In Dai Xingzhi's opinion, Zhang Yu's performance was that he was usually too comfortable and did not have the perseverance of their Immortal Capital people at all.

Especially compared to the performance of Yun Jing and Ye Lingxiao, he felt even more so.

"Hmph, sure enough, even if they are both rich people, these rich people from other places are not as rich as us Immortal Capital people."

While many students were frantically swallowing synthetic food, chasing each other on the ranking on the light curtain.

Little God Huang Zichou looked at the performance of several students and said, "The second stage is about to begin."

On the arena, Meng Tao, who was originally swallowing wildly, suddenly began to slow down.

Not only him, but at the same time, several students who had just been eating frantically also gradually slowed down.

Huang Zichou commented on the Internet: "Hehe, the so-called battle of gluttony, the competition of food intake, is not just about who eats faster."

"Just like what Lord Deng just said, it is about the overall metabolism, digestion, the mobilization of the power of the stomach and intestines, and the students' control over their bodies."
