I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

....................In the kitchen of the Merlin Cat Restaurant......................

As Yuhaka pondered what dish to cook for Viya, Ji Lin, who was preparing the ingredients nearby, turned to look at Yuhaka and asked:

"Um, Master Youyou, is there anything that Viya can't eat or doesn't like to eat?"

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"I don't know O_O......"

Yuhaka's answer made Ji Lin's lips twitch a few times, and he said somewhat awkwardly:

"Huh? Huh?! Is that so?"

Then, thinking of something, Ji Lin asked Yuhaka again:

"So, does Master Youyou know what kind of food Viya usually eats?"

This question prompted Yuhaka to answer instantly:

"Seafood, and fruit too."

After hearing Yuhaka's answer, Ji Lin and the others knew what to cook for Viya, but seafood and fruit... well, these two don't seem to be a good match.

Finally, Ji Lin suggested to Youhaka that it would be better to prepare some seafood dishes for Viya.

After hearing Ji Lin's suggestion, Yuhaka nodded in agreement with an "OwO" expression. Ji Lin then proposed to Yuhaka:

"Master Youyou should have ingredients from Viya's hometown, right? Let's try using those."

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka nodded and took out a wolf-like creature from the dimensional cave. Ji Lin was completely dumbfounded when she saw the creature Yuhaka had taken out.

Chapter 570 [Preparing for the welcome party...]

"Uh... Master Youyou, what is this thing?"

Ji Lin's lips twitched as he looked at the wolf-like creature in front of him, which resembled an alien species. Although it looked like a wolf, Ji Lin could see many biological structures related to aquatic organisms on it. Overall, it was a creature composed of fish and wolves.

Upon hearing Ji Lin's question, Yuhaka offered an explanation:

"Jackfish~OwO"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Ji Lin also looked at the armored wolf fish on the floor. Judging from the name Yuhaka gave, calling the creature armored wolf fish was quite appropriate, since the creature had a shell like a crocodile and its appearance was more like a wolf.

However, Ji Lin first asked Yuhaka to bring out some more common fish to make dishes, and the more novel creatures could be made later.

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka also put the armored wolf fish back into his dimensional cave and took out a bunch of common seafood ingredients.

After seeing the ingredients that Yuhaka took out from the dimension, Ji Lin also took out his phone to check what kind of dish to make. At the same time, Yuhaka stood on tiptoe and rested his chin on Ji Lin's shoulder to look at the contents of Ji Lin's phone.

As Yuhaka leaned on his shoulder, Ji Lin nuzzled Yuhaka's soft cheek, and Yuhaka nuzzled back. However, their attention was soon drawn to the cooking videos on their phones.

"This is good, um, this is also good, um, this is also very good."

Yuhaka wagged its tail happily as it looked at the dishes that Ji Lin had chosen.

..................at the same time.................

In the living room, Viya held a game controller in her hand, looking at the TV in front of her with a sparkling expression.

"Oh my god!! What, what is this, Siguoyi!"

Bronya, who was standing nearby, also told Viya:

"This is... um, a game made by Earthlings, um, yes, a video game."

Upon hearing Bronya's words, Viya's face showed a "°▽ °?" expression, clearly indicating that Viya didn't understand what Bronya was talking about, and it's worth noting that Viya didn't have any video games on her end.

However, Viya had a good learning talent. After Bronya only taught Viya how to control the game controller and how to operate the game character and gameplay, Viya was able to use it with ease. She immediately made Rosalia's character in the 1P position scream and howl. After saying "OK", Rosalia's character was sent flying.

Rosalia immediately wore an incredulous expression. She had actually been defeated by a beginner, and one who was a complete newbie who had never even played a game before.

Seeing Rosalia lose to Viya, Lilia, who was standing to the side, mocked her:

"This Rosalia is so lame."

Hearing Lilia's words, Rosalia showed her little fangs and said somewhat angrily:

"What did you say, Lilia! How am I inferior?!"

As she spoke, Rosalia pounced on Lilia, and the two began to playfully fight. Bronya, watching from the side, was also a little surprised to see Via defeat Rosalia. Although Rosalia's gaming skills were not as good as hers, she was still quite skilled. Via was not only playing video games for the first time, but she had also never even heard of or seen video games before. Yet, this person easily defeated Rosalia.

This made Bronya very curious about Viya. When Viya introduced herself before, she said that she came from a very primitive planet. How could Viya, who came from such a primitive tribe, become so strong as soon as she started playing the game?

Hmm... Bronya was also very curious about this.

Meanwhile, behind Bronya and the others, Sirin was also shocked to see the new member defeat Rosalia in the game for the first time. After all, she herself was at the same level as Rosalia, but seeing Rosalia being instantly defeated by Viya, a newbie, she went from being confused to being shocked.

Before Sirin could even process what had happened, Ji Lin came from the kitchen of the Merlin Cat Restaurant and called out to her:

"Cilin, could you please come to the kitchen?"

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Xi Lin was slightly puzzled, but she still stood up and walked towards Ji Lin, asking curiously:

"What's wrong? Are you short-handed?"

Ji Lin, a little embarrassed by Xi Lin's question, scratched his cheek and said:

"Well... I might have prepared a bit too much food..."

Seeing Ji Lin's embarrassed expression, Xi Lin sighed and said:

"Okay, I'll help too, but all I know how to do right now is grilling. I probably can't be of much help with anything else."

Hearing Xilin's words, Ji Lin also slightly curled the corners of his mouth and said:

"Hmm! Don't worry, this time it's also a barbecue dish~"

In the kitchen of the Merlo Cat Restaurant................................

Xilin's eyes twitched as she looked at the large pile of seafood on the table. She turned to Ji Lin, who was selecting ingredients, and said:

"Um, Senior Sister Ji Lin... are all these ingredients going to be made into a dish??"

Regarding Xilin's question, Ji Lin shook his head and said:

"No need, just making a few dishes is enough. If we make any more, we'll miss our mealtime."

Hearing Ji Lin's answer, Xi Lin felt relieved. If she were to cook all the ingredients, it would probably take her several hours.

"Alright, Sirin, I'll trouble you to grill the scallops and oysters. I've already sent the recipe to your phone."

As she spoke, Ji Lin took the ingredients she had chosen and went to cook. Meanwhile, Xi Lin opened her phone, looked at the instructions Ji Lin had sent, scratched her long purple hair, and said:

"Hmm... The method of making it isn't too difficult... and the necessary materials are already prepared, so I don't have to worry about dealing with those things."

As she spoke, Xilin put away her phone and looked at the scallops and oysters in front of her, saying:

"Yosh, get ready to begin!"

Chapter 571 [Viya's Welcome Party]

After cleaning the scallops and oysters in her hands, Xilin used the small knife that the Spear of the Void transformed into to open the shells of the scallops and oysters, and then cleaned out the internal organs and inedible parts. Xilin was very skilled at handling these things. After all, she had cooked with Ji Lin and Yuhaka and had naturally seen how they handled seafood.

Then, Xilin placed the cleaned scallops and oysters on the electric grill. After that, Xilin arranged the secret seafood sauce, secret garlic sauce, and soaked vermicelli in order, and then turned on the electric grill to start grilling the oysters and scallops.

Meanwhile, Yuhaka and Jilin were also cooking. Yuhaka was making the squid rice rolls that she had made at Nanachi's house in the Abyss, while Jilin was making salt and pepper shrimp.

After these dishes were prepared, Yuhaka and the others also made some other dishes before the entire meal was finally finished.

...The location of the dining table in the living room...

"Uh...why are they all seafood dishes??"

Bronya looked completely bewildered at the table full of seafood dishes, clearly puzzled by the overwhelming abundance of seafood in the welcome.

Regarding Bronya's question, Ji Lin scratched his cheek, looking a little embarrassed, and said:

"Um... I didn't know if Viya had any dietary restrictions, so I asked Chef Youyou to make some dishes using ingredients that Viya needs."

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Viya looked at Ji Lin with a happy expression and said:

"Thank you so much for your concern, Sister Ji Lin. But don't worry about my diet. The Star God told me that I can eat most foods, and even the things I can't eat won't have a big impact on my body."

Hearing Viya's words, Ji Lin seemed somewhat relieved, after all, Ji Lin was worried that there were some things Viya couldn't eat.

Rosalia, looking at the table full of seafood dishes, turned to Viya and said:

"Huh? Is it really okay for Viya to eat seafood?"

Upon hearing Rosalia's words, Viya also looked puzzled and said:

"Huh? I eat these things all the time where I'm from."

Viya's words elicited an incredulous expression from Rosalia, as if she were saying, "You actually eat your own close relatives!" Lilia, clearly aware of Rosalia's thoughts, playfully slapped Rosalia on the head and said:

"You idiot Rosalia, sharks eat fish too!"

Rosalia, who was being patted on the head, also showed an "oh right" expression when she thought about these things.

Viya looked completely bewildered by Rosalia and Lilia's conversation, clearly not understanding what they were talking about.

Soon, after everyone was seated, Viya was also deeply attracted by the seafood dishes on the table. Unlike the dishes that Yuhaka made on Pandora, the aroma of this dish was much richer.

Viya looked at the dishes, wiped her mouth, and said to Yuhaka:

"Lady Yu-Yu, what's going on with these dishes?! They're completely different from the sashimi we had last time!"

When asked about Viya's question, Yuhaka tilted her head with a puzzled look. Ji Lin, who was standing next to her, only learned from Yuhaka that because it was very difficult to start a fire on Pandora, the only food available was sashimi.

Ji Lin explained to Viya why the dishes smelled so good, and Viya, upon hearing Ji Lin's explanation, showed a surprised expression and said:

"I see, I never imagined that dishes cooked over a fire could be so tempting..."

In response to Viya's exclamation, Ji Lin smiled and said:

"More than anything else, Viya should hurry up and try it herself; it tastes really good!"

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Viya nodded to indicate that she understood. Viya picked up the chopsticks on the table. She had learned how to use chopsticks from Yuhaka on Pandora, so there was basically no need to worry about her not being able to use them well.

Viya picked up a golden-brown fried squid ring with her chopsticks. Looking at the ring with a curious expression, she asked Yuhaka and the others:

"Um, what is this thing? It doesn't look like a living thing. Is it a fruit?"

Regarding Viya's question, Youhaka, who was standing nearby, explained to her:

"Fried calamari rings~ OwO~ Crispy and delicious~"

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Viya immediately became interested in the fried calamari rings on her chopsticks. She then put one in her mouth, and with a crisp sound, stared at the rings in her hand with an incredulous expression, saying:
