Chapter 419 - 419 1 Midnight Snack Rhapsody Part 1

419: Chapter 1 Midnight Snack Rhapsody (Part 1) 419: Chapter 1 Midnight Snack Rhapsody (Part 1) Where do people come from, and where are they going?

Does this so-called life truly hold any practical meaning?

What is ultimately the answer to life, the universe, and everything?

Mysteries, mysteries, mysteries!

When night falls and all is quiet, sleepless humans begin an endless divergence of thoughts in their minds, the sparks of thought that burst forth in a moment illuminate the darkness before them, as if a philosopher has discovered the ultimate question worthy of a lifetime’s contemplation.

A flash of inspiration has humans opening their eyes, the rapidly processing thoughts in their brain illuminate a clear path for them—it’s the undeniable truth, the ultimate question that every human, no, every life form must face!

“—I’m so hungry.”

Gongsun Ce pressed his stomach, his expression as blank as that of his neighbor.

Why ponder?

Because he couldn’t sleep.

And why couldn’t he sleep?

That was, of course, because his stomach had been sending out non-stop signals of hunger for the past five minutes.

Even though the young man had emphasized in his mind three times that he had eaten quite a bit for dinner, his stomach was still roaring thirsty, screaming out the names of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats!

This couldn’t go on; he needed to eat something.

Gongsun Ce crept carefully out of bed and used telekinesis to mask the sound of his footsteps to avoid alerting his concerned friends who might come up and subject him to a “patient’s meal” punishment.

When it’s the middle of the night and time for a snack, don’t worry about health—even the seriously injured have the freedom to pursue good food!

…But before that, there was one thing he needed to confirm.

Gongsun Ce took out his phone and said almost obsequiously, “Is the gentle and understanding Miss Qiluo there?

I want to go out for a late-night snack.”

The three-head-tall Qiluo on the phone screen climbed out from under the mini blanket, staring at him with dead-fish eyes.

“Gongsun Ce, you were only able to get up 3 hours 15 minutes and 6 seconds ago, and now you’re talking about going out on your own…”

“Trust me, this isn’t the first time I’ve been seriously injured.

It’s no problem to eat a little late-night snack.

How about you join me?”

“I’m not hungry,” the pigtailed girl said with a face that read ‘I really can’t with you,’ “so let’s pretend I didn’t hear Gongsun Ce talk, but you can’t stay out too long.”

“Thanks, Qiluo!”

The gray-haired young man eagerly put on his coat, the white lab coat’s gear quickly morphing into a casual outfit of blue shirt and gray pants, and he pushed the door and slipped into the corridor with the agility of a special agent!

“Eh?”

Then, he collided with someone else who had opened their door at the same time.

Shiyu Ling opened the door with one hand, stepping one foot into the corridor.

Three meters away, Gongsun Ce maintained a superhero landing pose, motionless under his partner’s gaze.

It wasn’t that the young man was deliberately playing dumb; as he landed, his waist made a loud “crack” sound, causing him to dare not make any rash movements.

It’s a mess, a mess.

He overestimated his current condition.

He had never encountered such a situation when he was treated by doctors in the city of the skies!

He was pretty sure his partner had heard that ominous sound, and the twitching corners of her mouth were a sign that she was about to burst into laughter.

He had to think of something before Ling laughed out loud!

His thoughts whirred rapidly in his head, and the insight from his late-night musings once again burst forth.

In that instant, white matter solidified into text in front of the young man.

It was the call of Gongsun Ce’s hunger, the silent rebellion of a college student against the lonely night!

[Do you eat late-night snacks?]

“……Heh.”

Why make that face that looks down on elementary school children!

Don’t smile with such indulgence, you woman!

The Yuexun District is located in the northern part of Weiyuan City.

It’s a distance away from the Shangluo District, where Jiushijiu Tower stands, but it’s much better than the outer suburban areas outside of Weiyuan City.

To give an example from a typical city of the Empire, it’s the “old town” with more old buildings and residential buildings—though in the rapidly changing Weiyuan City, it’s hard for buildings to be triple digits old.

On the neon-lit streets of the Yuexun District, two inspectors wandered aimlessly while engaged in a fierce argument about “what to eat for a late-night snack.”

By the way, due to the concerning state of someone’s health, he was being supported while walking by his partner.

“How can you not go to an izakaya for late-night snacks in Zero Island!

If not that, then at least a yakitori place,” Shiyu Ling asserted.

“Can’t you consider your partner?

Mr.

Gongsun here is recuperating and can’t eat such hot and heavy food.”

Shiyu Ling sneered, “Cut it out, you’re out for a late-night snack and still have the nerve to talk about hot and heavy food?”

Although that was indeed the case…!

“Think about it, going to an izakaya in the middle of the night in Weiyuan City, you’re only going to meet a bunch of drunk office workers, right?

Just like the uncles we saw at Huangquan Shrine.” Gongsun argued with reason, “I don’t mind, but can you really enjoy your food surrounded by inebriated men?”

The superpower user’s persuasion was quite effective, and his companion began an intense mental struggle.

Gongsun Ce struck while the iron was hot: “So let’s go to a sushi restaurant instead!

That’s where you really find the ideal Zero Island local vibe!”

“But…”

Good progress, she hesitated, now was the moment!

Gongsun Ce subtly delivered the final blow.

“Sushi places have liquor too.”

Miss Shiyu immediately beamed with joy, pulling out the Weiyuan City travel brochure that came with the hotel.

“That settles it!

Let me check the travel brochure…”
