Chapter 436 Breaking Through the Enemy's Defenses
Some were tempted, some were disdainful, and some even insulted and mocked them on the StarNet, saying that they were not here to participate in the Superpower Competition in a serious manner, but were just clowns trying to attract attention and unscrupulous merchants trying to make money by taking advantage of the Superpower Competition!
However, the next day, when Roger saw an acquaintance, he asked in confusion, "Jack, weren't you the one who was cursing the most on StarNet yesterday? Why are you here to support us today?"
The man named Jack gave an awkward laugh. "Well, I just came to see how they're going to scam people. Yes, that's it. I'm doing all this for everyone's benefit!"
"I see." Roger saw through it but didn't say anything. He simply invited Jack to sit down with him, since he couldn't finish all that food by himself.
Jack thought it was a good idea, just in case the taste didn't suit him and he wasted food. He didn't believe that a group of people from such a small place could make anything amazing.
You should know that he is a well-known gourmand. He can't stomach ordinary nutrient solutions, and even vegetable puree that others highly praise is like pig swill to him. Only fresh fruit is considered acceptable.
He sat down with an air of self-importance and ordered a whole roasted lamb and a so-called hot pot. What was 100,000 star coins? For him and for aliens like Roger, it was nothing at all.
Roger was already drooling just thinking about what he had eaten yesterday, and the smell wafting from the kitchen made him swallow hard. Although the movement was subtle, Jack still noticed his pathetic state.
Jack felt contempt, thinking that Roger had wasted all those years of his life. So what if it smelled a little better? It was no big deal. He couldn't understand why Roger was so spineless.
When the whole roasted lamb was finally served, Jack looked at it, cut off a small piece with his knife, put it in his mouth, and suddenly understood why Roger had acted that way.
This tastes amazing! This stuff is completely different from what they usually eat. They've tried alien beast meat before, but it tastes terrible—it's both gamey and fishy.
Unexpectedly, this dish turned out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside after being cooked. Jack ate several bites in a row, and even excitedly used his hands, completely abandoning any pretense of civility.
Roger had already guessed this would happen. Compared to his previous lack of restraint, Jack was the one who was truly embarrassing now. Roger calmly ate the whole roasted lamb, still looking forward to how much more out of control Jack would be when the hot pot arrived.
When the hot pot was actually served, Roger was a little surprised. The waiter smiled and introduced, "This is a yin-yang hot pot, different from the beef tallow hot pot you had yesterday. This has two flavors, you can try it."
Roger thought yesterday's butter hot pot was delicious, but it was a bit spicy. Today, the other side was pure white and looked very fragrant. When he put the beef in to cook, he discovered the charm of this clear broth!
He preferred the original flavor to the spiciness of the butter! However, Jack preferred the butter flavor, and they were enjoying their meal so much that the waiter brought them some drinks.
Noticing their confusion, the waiter smiled and explained, "This is chilled beer. We were just giving it to you in case you got thirsty from eating hot pot."
They were delighted to hear it was free, even though they had forgotten that the meal had cost them a whopping 100,000 star coins.
They took a sip of beer, swallowing all the spicy and mixed flavors from their mouths, feeling incredibly refreshed! It felt like having such a drink elevated the entire meal!
