The ever-changing star starts with a rice cooker.

Despite the audience's harsh criticism, Bai Xiao still tried to save face for Manager Liu in the studio.

There's nothing I can do; after all, that person is my boss.

"Wow, that's incredibly extravagant! It seems the organizers have really gone all out to ensure the smooth running of this competition. Don't be fooled by the unassuming appearance of these items; they're all priceless!"

Bai Xiao sprayed saliva like a showerhead, his face showing a hint of excitement, as if it were really true.

Zhen Hong, who was standing next to him, would also chime in at the right time.

"Really? Just how is it so priceless? Expert Bai, please explain in detail; everyone is eager to know!"

Bai Xiao nodded immediately, then secretly glanced at her phone and quickly memorized the information.

Then he loudly proclaimed, "As you can see, although these three things look like just three ordinary grains of rice, they are actually valuable items brought back from other worlds. You see, the laws and characteristics of other worlds are different from ours. Most magical items useful in other worlds become useless, or even polluting, the moment they enter our world. Very few retain their original effects, and each one is incredibly valuable. Look at the golden rice; it can enhance one's aura. This is a great tonic for many awakened beings with insufficient aura. The silver rice makes one more like a living being; in short, it enhances biological activity. I don't need to elaborate on its value. As for the last black rice, cough cough, it sounds like a useless thing. But actually…"

At this point, Bai Xiao, the expert, seemed to have forgotten and glanced at her phone again.

"Actually, it's the most valuable item. It's been famous in the Guardian Tower for a long time, known as the blessing of the God of Deliciousness. A true divine item!"

After talking about the divine item, Bai Xiao's expression changed slightly.

He even wondered if he had said something wrong.

Aren't god-level items just pure sealed artifacts?

Why would they offer this as a choice for a high school student?

Thinking about it more carefully, oh, I guess this thing is probably not very useful either.

It's touted as god-tier, but in reality, its effects are incredibly weak, and it's not even worth collecting.

How to make yourself taste better?

Indeed, the effect is a bit of a rip-off.

The viewers in the live stream were also amazed by the incredible items they heard about.

The audience was also full of hidden talents.

Although most people don't understand, they can still figure it out as long as someone is willing to explain what a god-level item means.

"True god level? Impossible."

"Ugh, the effect is so weak, and it's a one-time use divine item. I think it's not even as good as a dragon-level item."

"Eating it will make you taste better? That's not a blessing, that's a pure curse."

"Hey, you know what, this rice cooker might actually work wonders after eating it."

"Yes, if we choose this rice cooker, it can become a delicious rice cooker in the future."

"If my rice cooker ever opens a restaurant, I absolutely have to try it!"

……

A small number of people still recognized the value of this item.

Unfortunately, even if you can see that, its value doesn't seem to be very high; at most, it's only enough to open a restaurant.

As for Ning Du, after careful consideration, he had only one question.

"Uh, which one is more valuable?"

Manager Liu nearly choked on his words. "Is all this kid thinking about is money? How poor are you?!"

That's true. If you weren't poor, who would transform into a rice cooker?

There seems to be a reason for all of this!

"They're all very valuable, hurry up..."

Before Manager Liu could finish speaking, Ning Du swiftly grabbed three grains of rice and stuffed them all into his mouth.

Since we can't distinguish between good and bad, let's just take them all.

Ning Du believed the organizers wouldn't dare let him get an upset stomach.

As for side effects?

I've already turned into a rice cooker, and I'm still worried about side effects.

If it sounds valuable, then go for it.

If there's a bargain, I'm a fool not to take advantage of it. Since I'm forced to choose anyway, I'll do it all!

Ning Du's move almost made Manager Liu jump up.

He wouldn't have offered up these truly valuable items to exchange for this rice cooker if he hadn't been forced into it!

These are all treasures from the Guardians' Building in Jiangshou City! Hidden away! Ah! (Then comes the inner echo)

He felt a pang of guilt even if someone else took one serving. Now, this rice cooker has eaten three servings of his food.

You little brat, spit it out!

Manager Liu went up and tried to strangle Ning Du.

But they discovered that the rice cooker didn't have a neck.

One less weakness!

The only way is to press the rice cooker with both palms to create a dent.

"You damn rice cooker, you've gone too far!"

Manager Liu whispered in Ning Du's ear.

Ning Du replied, "The audience is watching. If you keep this up, I'll lie down on the ground. Don't think a rice cooker can't be a scammer."

Manager Liu gritted his teeth before letting go.

Ning Du concluded, "It's all for the sake of the competition. I was so severely restricted in my abilities, and I didn't say anything. What are you yelling about now! Goodbye!"

Feeling that he had gotten a good deal, Ning Du turned and ran.

Manager Liu slapped his face in anger, but he was helpless. Just as the kid said, it was all for the sake of the competition.

Good lad, I'll remember you.

I'll remember this rice cooker!

We'll have plenty of opportunities to work together in the future!

Manager Liu turned around and disappeared instantly.

This move drew another round of praise from the live stream viewers. Truly a master!

So, does that mean the zombies will start attacking the rice cooker?

Everyone, zoom in on the screen and get ready to see how the rice cooker changes.

At that moment, after Ning Du ate three grains of rice, the entire rice cooker began to turn red.

It's really powerful! Good stuff, really good stuff.

I felt my world was boiling, like boiling water surging through my body.

Then, Ning Du felt that the core of his world was also beginning to glow, as if this power could not only nourish his body, but also nourish his core of world.

White smoke began to rise from its entire body, just like freshly steamed rice.

Ning Du could clearly see that after smelling his "cooking aroma," the zombies slowly turned their heads to look at him.

This is completely different from the previous attitude of ignoring them and even showing disdain when they come across them.

Gradually, the zombies' eyes began to fill with bloodlust as they looked at him.

It was as if what they saw wasn't a rice cooker, but... a delicious rice cooker!

"Oh no, oh no. The effect came on so quickly! I thought it would take at least half an hour to work, like medicine."

Seeing that the zombies were about to attack, Ning Du grabbed the microphone and shouted, "Xiao Mei, where are you?"

A voice suddenly came from upstairs: "Tenth floor!"

Ning Du nodded, then his hands changed again.

The microphone and speaker were gone, replaced by two long swords.

Look at the zombies in front of me!

Ning Du said coldly, "Make way, or my Double-Blade Rice Cooker won't be so polite!"
