Chapter 604 The Power of Food

"Oops."

Bai Mianmian, who had been comforted by Jiang Ci, suddenly exclaimed as if she remembered something.

"?" Jiang Ci looked up at her.

She was usually very composed, but this sudden exclamation...

"I only sent dinner to my cousin Anrou, and I forgot to prepare one for my uncle as well." Bai Mianmian blinked and looked at Jiang Ci with an innocent expression.

Jiang Ci, who had thought something had happened, suddenly smiled with a mix of helplessness and doting. He said, "It's alright, Uncle won't mind."

However, as he spoke, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he changed the subject, saying, "Well... Ning Anrou and the others are back now, so I'll have the cafeteria continue to send them dinner."

Since Ning Anrou and her group left suddenly, none of the recipients recorded by the dinner delivery robot system were present, so he stopped the subsequent dinner deliveries.

In the past few days, he hadn't thought of bringing Ning Weiquan any food at all.

Bai Mianmian blinked. What he meant...

After Jiang Ci finished giving instructions to the kitchen robot via the terminal, he looked up and saw Bai Mianmian staring at him with a knowing look on her face. He immediately changed the subject and asked, "Mianmian, are you going out again tomorrow?"

Bai Mianmian smiled and said, "Let's go out. We didn't get to go to the place we were supposed to go today, but we'll have to go again tomorrow."

At the Crimson Rose Mercenary Group's base.

Ning Weiquan sat upright in the main seat of the hall, exuding an imposing aura.

To his left and right sat the core members of the mercenary group, all with serious expressions, awaiting the unfolding events.

However, in this quiet and oppressive atmosphere, Ning Anrou took out the dinner that Bai Mianmian had asked Xiaozhi No. 1 robot to deliver without any psychological burden.

Although the sound of the lunchbox being placed on the table was quiet, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

As soon as Ning Anrou opened the lunchbox, the rich aroma of the food immediately wafted out and reached the noses of everyone present.

Those with less self-control immediately couldn't resist taking a deep breath, then squinting their eyes with a look of enjoyment. So fragrant!
The previously quiet and oppressive atmosphere in the lobby vanished in an instant.

"Girl, where did you get this?"

Ning Weiquan, who had only eaten a few meals in the Second Legion and then survived on nutrient solutions, felt that he was salivating uncontrollably.

"Mianmian had her butler robot, Xiaozhi No. 1, deliver it over here." Ning Anrou finished speaking and took a sip of the sea cucumber and insectoid chicken soup.

Since Zhang Xiuqing was brought back from the forest, she hasn't had a drop of water and even beat up those who pointed fingers at her. Now she's starving.

Ning Weiquan and the others watched as Ning Anrou's previously tense face suddenly relaxed after taking a sip of soup.

Her expression clearly showed that the soup was delicious, and for a moment, many people silently swallowed their excessive saliva.

The food arranged neatly in the lunchboxes looked so appetizing, not to mention the mouthwatering aroma wafting out; they wanted to eat too.

However, Ning Anrou, who had no intention of sharing the food, started eating right in front of everyone.

Seeing that she was eating heartily, Ning Weiquan quietly took out a bottle of nutritional supplement.

Seeing that Ning Weiquan remained silent, the people in the hall, though they had opinions about the food Ning Anrou was eating, wisely refrained from making any noise at this moment.

Because Ning Anrou's fiery fists really hurt, the seats that were empty were because everyone was still lying in the medical pods.

Even those who had the strength to avoid going to the medical pod, and even after taking the treatment, still had noticeable wounds on their faces. Therefore, no one was foolish enough to be the first to stick their neck out.

Some people, like Ning Weiquan, took out their nutrient solution, but while the aroma was enticing and made their mouths water, the nutrient solution tasted slightly astringent and had a sticky texture, making it quite difficult to swallow.

Ning Weiquan took a sip of the nutrient solution but couldn't drink any more. At this point, he was already considering whether he should go find Jiang Ci for a meal.
He remembered that at this time, the Second Army Corps' mess hall still served dinner.

Ning Weiquan did not feel that Bai Mianmian had an obligation to bring him dinner, so he was not dissatisfied that she only brought dinner to Ning Anrou.

But he really wanted to eat that dinner.

"Gulp~!" In the lobby where only Ning Anrou could be heard eating, a rather loud swallowing sound suddenly came from.

"Gurgle~" As if in a chorus, the rumbling of the stomach also rang out.

The person who made that sound immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Before they could even feel ashamed, several more people appeared, making swallowing noises and rumbling stomachs, including those who were staring at them.

So, everyone gave an awkward laugh and then looked away, pretending nothing had happened.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Ning Weiquan touched his stomach, which felt a little empty.

We need to go have a meal with Jiang Ci, but we can't do that right now because there are other things he needs to take care of later.

But he couldn't make any noise about being hungry here! That would be too embarrassing.

Just as Ning Weiquan was about to drink the remaining nutrient solution, Ning Anrou, who was eating, suddenly raised her hand and tapped lightly in mid-air, asking, "What is it?"

All eyes turned to Ning Anrou again, and Ning Weiquan stopped drinking the nutrient solution.

Unaware of what was said on the other end, Ning Anrou calmly replied, "Let them in; it'll resolve this matter as well."

This seemingly random statement immediately caused everyone present to exchange glances, their eyes filled with suspicion about who would be the next unlucky one to suffer.

Those with obvious injuries, while harboring suspicions, are also secretly terrified that they will be the next ones to be beaten.

Ning Anrou hung up the call from Chen Jiajia, looked up at Ning Weiquan, and said, "Old man, don't drink that nutrient solution yet. The Second Legion's canteen has delivered dinner to our team."

"Why did you suddenly send dinner over?" Ning Weiquan asked curiously.

Could it be that Bai Mianmian had Jiang Ci arrange it?

After all, Ning Anrou's dinner was delivered by a robot at her request, so Ning Weiquan thought it made perfect sense.

In contrast to Ning Weiquan's calm demeanor, the core members of the Crimson Rose Mercenary Group present couldn't help but show expressions of great surprise upon hearing the words "Second Legion."

The Second Army Corps sent them dinner?!

What merit or ability do they possess?!

"This dinner is a deal I made with the Second Legion. The quantity is based on the number of people in my team. You can have my portion, old man. The rest of you, there's nothing." Ning Anrou glanced coldly at everyone present.

Even though she later replenished the supplies and even had more than before, many people still criticized her for misappropriating mercenary group resources.

Hmph, if we really want to be nitpicky, the supplies she misappropriated originally belonged to her team; she didn't touch the portion that was handed over to the mercenary group.

Now they actually want to take a share of the food she got by leading the team? That's just wishful thinking!

The group, who were initially shocked but couldn't help but look forward to the dinner being delivered by the Second Legion, suddenly froze on their faces.
