The ever-changing star starts with a rice cooker.

A bowl of frog porridge is better than being a living god!

Compared to other teams, Ningdu's team is already incredibly extravagant.

Other teams can only afford to eat insects; most are still relying on enduring hunger.

The Ningdu team not only ate their fill, but they also ate well.

After eating, take a nice nap while hugging the rice cooker.

The residual heat from the rice cooker was enough to get me through the night.

Ning Du, on the other hand, assessed the situation and decided not to waste any effort, trying to maintain the rice cooker form as much as possible.

There's no way around it; even if he became human, he'd still freeze. It's not as warm as a rice cooker.

Surprisingly, he used to think his abilities were ridiculous but passable.

Now, Ning Du is increasingly realizing that his abilities are definitely not weak, and are even quite... no, very strong!

So what if it becomes a rice cooker?

If we're going to do it, we'll make the best rice cooker ever!

When he gets back, he'll have to do some research to see if there's a rice cooker with more features.

I wish there was a rice cooker that could also play games and watch videos.

Anyway, the electricity he has now seems to be free!

The amount of world power consumed is negligible.

In some ways, his world power is more durable than others.

Every move someone else makes consumes a huge amount of world power.

His transformation only requires one use and can last for a long time.

In other words, the recovery speed was a little slow. Otherwise, Ning Du felt that he could really stay in the rice cooker form indefinitely!

Rest, sleep.

Rice cookers should also be energy-efficient, okay?

Let's try not to turn into human form these next few days, and get through the snow mountain pass first.

Thinking, thinking.

Ning Du also closed his eyes to rest, leaving only the residual heat of the rice cooker to warm his teammates.

……

The following morning, the wind and snow subsided, and the sun shone warmly.

Ning Du quickly woke up Bing Xiaomei and the others.

After maintaining his rice cooker form overnight, he almost reverted to human form.

The second transformation consumed some of the world's power, but it was a seamless transition.

However, the world's power is now only about half of what it was before, and it is recovering very slowly.

"Wake up, everyone wake up."

Bing Xiaomei, Da Yan, and Gao Lao were acting strangely today.

Neither of them will get up!

Big Eyes and Tall Guy are one thing, they're genuinely lazy and will sleep as much as they can, but Bing Xiaomei is an active person and won't linger.

"What's going on?"

Ning Du patted the group again, and this time, the three of them finally opened their eyes, but they didn't look too good.

"Ningdu, what's wrong with me? I feel weak in my limbs!"

"Ningdu, did you scramble your food last night? There's something wrong with it!"

"Free food is definitely poisonous!"

Ning Du's eyes widened at the words of the three.

We're already being lenient by not taking your money, yet you spread rumors about this rice cooker! How despicable!

But then, Ning Du keenly noticed something was wrong.

Could there be something wrong with the meat?

Looking at the frog's legs again, Ning Du examined them closely and finally managed to vaguely see a glimmer of black light.

Immediately, Ning Du said, "The meat is probably problematic. We're doomed; that dead toad pulled a fast one on us before he left."

"Holy crap, that's vicious!"

"Oh dear, I should have known better than to eat so much."

"What should I do? I feel so cold."

"Me too!"

It's one thing for others to say they're cold, but when Bing Xiaomei also says she's cold, Ning Du realizes things are really serious.

I gently patted their heads, hmm...

I didn't find anything!

Just kidding, you can't expect a rice cooker to have a body temperature measurement function.

Even while watching Ning Du's actions, Da Yan still had time to joke around.

"Ningdu, don't turn into a giant thermometer and mess with me! I'd rather lie here than have your temperature taken!"

Ning Du ignored him and started anxiously scratching at the rice cooker lid, wondering what to do.

We can't just withdraw from the competition because of this.

But judging from their situation, it seems difficult for them to persevere.

Bing Xiaomei said weakly, "Ning Du, you don't need to worry about us. You go first. We'll hold on as long as we can, and if we can't, guardians will come to save us."

"You've made me leave you guys behind again. We're a team, you know. You need to have team spirit!"

Ning Du disagreed.

It's just some toad meat. At most, it'll cause diarrhea for a couple of days. It's not something to give up on.

"Don't say anything, let me think about it."

Ning Du began to use his clever mind to think of a solution.

Meanwhile, in the studio, Bai Xiao, who had arrived at work early, was waiting to see this scene.

"Ahem. It seems an accident has occurred. But how to put it, there are no coincidences without a reason. If the Rice Cooker Squad had been more cautious, they would have known that any monster from this other world must be carefully identified before consumption. Without antidotes or anything like that, the meat must be sterilized. It's normal for a squad without antidotes or recovery abilities to run into problems by recklessly eating unfamiliar meat. They'll learn from this experience! Alas, what a pity!"

As Bai Xiao spoke, the corners of her mouth turned up.

He said it was a pity, but he was actually about to burst out laughing.

In the live stream room, countless people were wailing in despair.

"My beloved rice cooker team! How did it end up like this?"

"That's outrageous. Everything was fine yesterday, and a few pieces of meat wiped out an entire squad."

"The dog expert must have known all along, just waiting for them to fall for it. They even ran a betting pool last night—how despicable!"

"Oh dear, I thought they'd bring a pig to the studio this morning. Now it seems I've been made a fool of."

"Waaaaah, the rice cooker team is going to be wiped out."

"Don't panic, the main rice cooker is still fine. But if only he passed, does that count?"

……

Outside, Teacher Qin was also sighing.

Ningdu and his team performed very well this time; they just lack experience.

In her opinion, the poison that Bing Xiaomei and the others were given was not actually fatal.

The combination of the snowy mountain environment and the toxicity makes it a very difficult situation.

If hypothermia reaches a certain level, it can truly be life-threatening.

I'm going to be eliminated! How frustrating!

The man from the rice cooker company next door was also gritting his teeth in anger.

He cursed loudly, "What a lousy trap! It screwed over my spokesperson. What a great rice cooker! Ugh, if it had lasted a few more days, it would have been a complete disaster. What a pity!"

Inside the studio, the host, Zhen Hong, kept looking at the screen next to her.

The instructions came through the earpiece, clearly indicating that the higher-ups also hoped the rice cooker team wouldn't be eliminated so quickly.

Zhen Hong quickly asked Bai Xiao, "So what can they do to resolve this now? Mr. Bai Xiao, look, that rice cooker guy is fine. Does that mean the poison wasn't that potent?"

Bai Xiao chuckled, shaking his head with his arms crossed, "It's not that the poison isn't potent, but rather that this rice cooker's transformation might have made it immune to the toxin. Although it seems absurd, that's probably the reality. The poison in the meat can't reach a rice cooker. As for the others, if they can solve the problem of hypothermia, they might be able to survive on their own. Otherwise, they'll most likely stop here!"
