Chapter 336: Chapter 334: Receive Rice Meal

After the little girl left, Nian Shutong and her companions finally had a chance to sit down.

"Are you hungry?"

At Nian Shutong’s question, three pitiful cries were heard in response.

"Hungry—"

"Hungry—"

"Hungry—"

Nian Shutong found it funny and chuckled as she waved her hand, setting up a Spiritual Energy Shield.

It blocked smells and sounds.

Then, Nian Shutong took out the boxed meals Mr. Fan had prepared and distributed one to each person.

"Eat first, and we’ll talk after."

Nian Shutong opened her own meal, which contained three dishes: a meatball, braised pork ribs, and dry-fried green beans.

"Oh—this flavor, really makes you miss it when you don’t eat."

She started eating, and the three across from her did the same—even Dou Dou was eating hungrily.

During the meal, Nian Shutong ate two boxes, Ha Ha ate four, Fu Yunhe had one and sneaked a big bun on the side.

Dou Dou ate half a box.

As for Little Pink Pig, it actually didn’t need to eat, but Dou Dou always fed it, and it had grown accustomed to eating now, finishing the other half box left by Dou Dou.

After everyone had finished eating, Nian Shutong cast a magic spell that cleaned up all the smells inside the Spiritual Energy Shield.

She then took out mouthwash for everyone to use to get rid of the taste in their mouths, and once everything was tidied up, they started to talk.

"Do you want to stay?"

Fu Yunhe was the first to inquire.

"Yes, everyone is recruiting—we’re searching no matter where we are. I find the people here quite pleasant."

Nian Shutong’s comment received unanimous agreement from everyone, although they decided to wait and see a bit longer, but for now, things looked promising.

Nian Shutong told the group, "Let’s stay for now, pretend to be Star Thieves, and if it’s really good, we’ll see if we can recruit or if not, we’ll leave on our own."

"Okay."

"Let’s listen to auntie."

"Let’s listen to the good person."

Nian Shutong waved her hand to remove the Spiritual Energy Shield, and everyone made simple sleeping arrangements.

The tent was about thirty square meters, with a makeshift wooden bed.

"Yun He, you and Dou Dou take the bed."

Fu Yunhe wanted to refuse—he was, after all, a grown man—but before he could speak, he heard Nian Shutong’s command.

"Handsome boy, listen up."

Fu Yunhe looked like he wanted to say something, exchanging a "you have a problem" gaze with Nian Shutong, but in the end, he chose to comply.

Actually, Nian Shutong’s arrangement wasn’t wrong; they needed to take care of the weakest.

She and Ha Ha were absolutely fine physically, it didn’t matter where they slept or even if they slept at all.

But it was truly hot.

Nian Shutong didn’t feel it much since she could regulate her own temperature, but she saw Ha Ha panting heavily with his tongue out.

As she looked over, Fu Yunhe had already undone the top button of his shirt collar, and Dou Dou was constantly fanning himself with his little hands.

Yet, the breeze seemed scorching hot.

This planet really wasn’t suitable for human habitation.

"Time to eat!"

"Come out, it’s time for rice!"

The little girl who had led them earlier burst in excitedly, shouting loudly.

"Come quickly, it’s time for rice!"

Although the girl was in a hurry, she still waited for everyone.

Nian Shutong didn’t delay; she neatly picked up Dou Dou and put him on her shoulder, followed by Fu Yunhe and Ha Ha.

As for Little Pink Pig, she could stay for now.

Since Shutong was there to protect Dou Dou.

When several people came out, an even bigger heatwave hit them in the face.

It seemed that in just that short while, it had gotten even hotter outside.

"Is it always this hot here?"

"No, not always." The girl leading the way said, which made everyone sigh in relief, thankfully.

But before they could fully relax, the girl in front added, "Today is the coolest day, you guys are really lucky!"

Today was the coolest day.

This statement made the people behind start to wonder, how hot could it possibly get?

Shutong felt somewhat relieved; she hadn’t inherited such a fiery planet.

Fortunately, it was Blue Star.

The group finally arrived at their destination, the spot where they had just disembarked from the Starship, barely qualifying as open space.

In this open space, there were several black pots, steaming with heat.

Some people stood by the pots, stoking the fire.

Shutong, leading Dou Dou and the others, tried to stay away from the firepit, as it was even hotter over there.

But, there are always exceptions.

"Where are you going? You’re newcomers; newcomers get to have a bowl of rice, hurry up!"

"Yes, yes, go stand in the front!"

"Right in front of the pots."

The enthusiastic locals forcefully pushed them to the spot closest to the fire, where the heat from the flames combined with the heat in the air prompted Fu Yunhe to undo his second shirt button.

Ha Ha’s ears even drooped, his tongue constantly sticking out.

"This is the environment here; if you can’t adapt, next time we go out, I can take you to a nearby planet where you can catch a Starship," said Eldest, who carried the Heavy Sword, calmly stating a fact.

She never forced anyone who did not wish to stay.

"Besides, we really don’t know what to do."

Shutong spoke the truth, and Eldest with the Heavy Sword did not say much.

Everyone’s gaze then fixated on the pot in front of them, listening to its bubbling sounds, smelling the rice aroma wafting through the air.

"Hey, do you think cooking rice will work, not ruin our rice?"

"Don’t worry, I learned from Little River Live, it should definitely work."

"That’s good, that’s good, Little River Live is really something."

Shutong hadn’t expected to encounter hardcore fans of Little River Live here.

About half an hour later, the rice was fragrant, presumably ready.

Someone came forward, lifted the pot lid, and a blast of steam, along with an even greater heatwave, made Dou Dou hide behind Shutong’s legs.

However, the others around didn’t mind at all, as this was a meal of rice they often went months without.

People began distributing the rice, and Shutong saw everyone else had utensils in their hands.

But they hadn’t brought anything, just when she was about to ask Ha Ha to go back and get some, someone in the front started calling out,

"Hey...newcomers, come get your rice."

The one serving the rice in the front took out four new bowls, and Shutong saw him pressing the rice firmly into the bowls, packing them solidly.

"Here you go, make sure your first meal fills you up."

The man handed out the rice to the four of them, Shutong being the first to receive her bowl, others nearby looked envious but not jealous, instead accepting calmly.

Because when they had first arrived, they’d received the same treatment.

Once you arrive here, you’ve run out of options.

After the four of them got their rice, they carried it back to the blue tent.

Shutong told everyone to save the rice first, no matter what, wasting was absolutely out of the question.

A bowl of rice isn’t expensive, but for the person giving you that rice, whether it’s just a bowl or not much more, it’s precious.
