The ever-changing star starts with a rice cooker.

Bing Xiaomei took the drink with an expression of disbelief.

She almost forgot that her team had Ning Du, an unpredictable shapeshifter!

"Holy crap, I'll have one too!"

"Hahaha, Ning Du, your transformation skills are getting better and better!"

Big Eyes and Tall Guy were overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, Ningdu proved to be a reliable partner at this crucial moment.

Ning Du naturally offered them drinks as well, but without a doubt, even close brothers should keep clear accounts.

"Five dollars a cup, please!"

But Gao Lao and his team weren't without a way to deal with it.

"Debts owed, debts owed!"

"We'll settle it when we get back."

The group started drinking beverages, including Ning Du, who got himself a glass.

The taste is still a bit lacking. If I have the chance, I'll find a beverage factory to observe and learn from them. It would be good to steal some of their technology.

After drinking the beverage, Big Eyes and Tall Guy both seemed to have regained a lot of energy.

Bing Xiaomei didn't want to leave, but Ning Du picked her up with one hand and placed her on the shoulder of the vending machine.

In human form, it's not good for carrying things, but in its current beverage machine form, carrying an ice cream cone is a piece of cake.

But Ning Du's mouth didn't stop talking; he laughed and said, "You're a bit heavy, Xiao Mei. You've been eating too many chicken wings lately!"

Bing Xiaomei rolled her eyes and said, "Then I'll let you have it next time, as payment for the drink."

"Okay!"

Ning Du chuckled, looking on as he realized he'd made another fortune on chicken wings.

I'm a beverage machine, always smiling~~~

Open the cup to sell drinks and earn more Alliance Coins!

With the crisis resolved at Ningdu, they continued their journey.

However, their performance has already shocked viewers in front of the television and on major online platforms, including the hosts Zhen Hong and Bai Xiao in the studio.

What's worse is that just now Bai Xiao was saying they couldn't hold on any longer, but in the blink of an eye, he was proven wrong, and Bai Xiao's face stiffened.

"Ahem, what did we just see? One of our classmates, in such a disadvantageous situation, actually turned into... a vending machine?! My goodness!"

Zhen Hong exclaimed repeatedly, zooming in and zooming in on Ning Du and the others so that the audience could see the details of the beverage machine clearly.

The more the audience watched, the more amazed they became.

These days, people have all sorts of abilities!

"Holy crap, you can't do that? It comes with a built-in drink machine?"

"I just checked, it's a transformation ability, a rather strange one."

"This is top-tier support! He'll never run out of drinks no matter where he goes."

"Wow, it's really drinkable! Where did he get this beverage from? That doesn't make sense!"

"Uh... it's become a vending machine, and you're still asking if it's scientific? Are you crazy?"

"Hahaha, what did Bai Xiao just say? Didn't he say that person was definitely going to be eliminated? Tsk tsk, what a bad eye!"

"These days, experts are all just 'pseudo-experts,' it's normal!"

Viewers started complaining, and in no time, Ning Du's team's solo live stream shot to the top of the viewership charts, while the other teams didn't have a human-shaped vending machine to watch.

The second-ranked group was Xiao Bo and others who were eating bloodworms, and their live stream was labeled as disgusting and grotesque.

Inside the studio, Mr. Bai Xiao, the expert from the Guardian, was still in an awkward situation.

Fortunately, the host, Zhen Hong, was experienced and gave him a chance to save face.

"Mr. Bai Xiao, you must be surprised that someone can turn into a vending machine, right? Isn't that an extremely rare ability?"

Bai Xiao quickly seized the opportunity to back down.

"Yes, I never expected anyone to possess such an ability. It's not just rare, it's almost unheard of. It's astonishing! However, I must say, they won't last long."

Bai Xiao crossed his arms; to save face, he had to be professional once again.

"These transformation abilities are usually time-limited. Most of them rapidly deplete the world's energy. Although he can turn into a vending machine, I'm certain he can't maintain it for long. And once the world's energy is exhausted, he'll enter a state of exhaustion. At that point, he'll no longer be the team's savior, but a burden. So, while they seem to have weathered the crisis, in reality, the crisis has only just begun."

"I see. But it seems this team from Yizhou No. 1 Middle School only delayed their elimination. Nevertheless, they've given us a pleasant surprise. We don't see this kind of transformative ability every time; they deserve our respect even in defeat!"

Zhen Hong finished with her professional demeanor, while Bai Xiao smiled and nodded, waiting for the beverage machine to complete its transformation.

In the live broadcast room, in front of the television, many people were convinced by Bai Xiao.

They also felt that the situation was the same as what Bai Xiao had said.

"Indeed, the transformation ability is rather useless. It consumes too much of the world's energy!"

"And it's easy to control. This thing that transforms into a beverage machine, well, it won't be short of work from now on."

"Hahaha, how can someone have such a silly ability? He even dared to participate in the competition, it's hilarious!"

"This guy was just here to be funny, but he actually got lucky. He can last longer than the others."

"Okay, watch him for another two hours. If he can hold out until tonight, I'll give him a tip."

"That's really awesome!"

Ning Du and his team's live stream was still getting more viewers, and many people started discussing whether the drinks produced by his beverage machine were actually good or not.

If it still has some flavor, I feel like I could really make a fortune by setting up a stall in the future.

They chatted like that, and time passed by, minute by minute.

Half an hour later, Ning Du was still carrying Bing Xiaomei forward.

The four people chatted and laughed on the way, each holding a drink.

An hour later, their pace had slowed down a bit, but thankfully there were plenty of drinks, and the four of them were still making progress.

Ning Du didn't seem to be about to give up at all.

Two hours later, Ning Du drank another beverage, feeling that it would be nice if he could order some lemon or something.

Meanwhile, in the live stream, some viewers were already exclaiming "Holy crap!"

"Why haven't you deactivated your transformation yet?"

"Why hasn't his world power been completely exhausted yet?"

"My God, two hours of continuous transformation! This can't be explained by a simple transformation!"

"Where's Bai Xiao? Let him explain. Isn't he usually so good at putting on an act?"

"Everyone, look at the map of all the teams! The team with the vending machine is already in the lead. They're ahead!"

The live stream chat was about to explode with comments.

Various phone calls were also frantically flooding the main broadcasting room.

Zhen Hong only answered two questions before refusing to answer any more. Both were asking, "What's the situation with the beverage machine? It's different from what you told us!"

"Let Bai Xiao explain himself, give him a proper explanation!"

Zhen Hong was also a little embarrassed. This was the first time she had encountered such a "crisis" in all her years of hosting competitions.

Left with no other option, she could only ask Bai Xiao, "Mr. Bai, everyone's asking why this beverage machine's transformation is still going on? It doesn't make sense, does anyone know what's going on?"

Bai Xiao's face turned ashen. How could he know what was going on? If he had known, he wouldn't have been so talkative.

Holy crap, is this vending machine deliberately messing with me?!
