Navigator: I have a double six-story house

The heat lasted only a moment.

A moment later, it vanished completely, and Su Qing's body returned to that empty state.

Although he hadn't felt that way in a long time, he was certain it was that feeling.

That feeling was all too familiar to him, so familiar that it felt somewhat strange, because he hadn't experienced it since his gluttony talent awakened.

Feeling full!

Even if it's just a tiny bit, even if it's fleeting, that's what it means to feel full.

Su Qing looked down at the remaining half of the corn cob in her hand, her expression unchanged, but her mind was already filled with the thought of taking it with her.

"It's delicious, isn't it?"

Li Daniu's voice came from the side, carrying a sense of self-satisfaction, "This is the thing we're best at on the island."

Su Qing looked up at him.

The smile on Brother Niu's face was pure confidence that "I know my stuff is good," without any other meaning.

Su Qing quickly ruled out one possibility in her mind.

The other person shouldn't know about bulimia.

After being conscripted into the Age of Exploration, Brother Niu was stuck on this island for three years without leaving.

He had never even seen what Midway Island looked like, let alone Gluttony, a talent that even Su Qing himself hadn't figured out.

He just thinks the food he grows tastes better.

Su Qing nodded, her tone indifferent.

"It really tastes good."

Then he lowered his head and began to taste the rest of the food on the animal hide one by one.

Roasted meat, fruit, and two other root vegetables whose names I don't know.

Take it one bite at a time, not too fast, not too slow, like you're doing quality control.

Wang Yao was dumbfounded.

Su Zai never shows any expression on his face when he eats; he reacts the same way no matter what he eats.

That means there's no response.

Wang Yao witnessed Selena bringing freshly cooked food to Su Qing, who then took it, ate it, and said, "It's alright."

Just the two words "okay".

Wang Yao found it hard to describe the expression on Selena's face at the time, but it wasn't very pleasant.

But the phrase "it's really delicious" that Su Qing just said was the highest praise she could give to food.

Just because of a single ear of corn.

Wang Yao turned to look at Selena and gestured with his eyes.

Does that mean you saw it?

Without needing any prompting from her seniors, Selena's gaze immediately fell on Su Qing when Su Qing said, "It really is delicious."

The young lady of the Wind Breeze Merchant Guild had an expression of disbelief in her eyes.

As a master chef, her dishes would earn a thumbs-up and a "good" from even the most knowledgeable gourmets in the Wind Breath Merchant Guild.

But every time the captain ate her cooking, he would only say two words.

Okay.

A grilled corn on the cob is delicious.

Selena looked down, picked up the untouched purple corn in front of her, took a bite, and then chewed it slowly.

Then she suddenly widened her eyes.

This...this tastes just like corn!

It was sweet, but not exceptionally so; it was just ordinary roasted corn, slightly firmer than regular corn, nothing more.

Selena didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked.

For a moment, Selena was plunged into a strange self-doubt.

Could it be that the captain doesn't actually like her cooking, but only says it's okay to save face?

The moment that thought popped into her head, Selena felt wronged.

But her captain was completely oblivious to his navigator's grievances, and simply went over the food on the animal skin one by one.

The conclusion was that only purple corn reacted.

He put down the last piece of corn stalk in his hand, his gaze returning to the corn cob, and he had already made up his mind.

The seeds must be taken with you.

No matter how this dungeon ends, he will not miss a single seed of this thing.

Just as he was about to grab another one, the ear of corn that Wang Yao was holding, with more than half of it still in his hand, came into view.

Su Qing simply reached out and took it.

"..."

Wang Yao was stunned for two seconds before he realized what was happening, and his expression was one of pure disbelief.

"Su Qing, you fucking stole mine again!"

"You stole my corn on Midway last time, and now you're trying to steal it again. You've got your eye on me, haven't you?"

Su Qing took a bite and ignored him.

Wang Yao pointed at him, then turned to look at Li Daniu, seeking his support.

"Brother Niu, look at him!"

Li Daniu laughed heartily and casually grabbed another one from the side and handed it to Wang Yao.

"Alright, alright, there's plenty more, eat up."

Wang Yao took it, still looking angry, muttering something under his breath, but he had already started gnawing on it.

As the campfire burned further down, the flames gradually diminished, and the orange-red light gathered in one spot, warming several faces.

Agu led a few indigenous people to tidy up the perimeter. Occasionally, he would look up and glance in their direction, his eyes holding something indescribable, as if he were watching something important happen.

Su Qing finished eating the second ear of corn in her hand, put the corn cob aside, and wiped her hands.

The feeling of fullness only lasted a few seconds, but it was still somewhat more comfortable.

What he cares about is whether it can be planted on a large scale.

If the seeds are taken away, will they be able to grow on the ship?

I'll ask Brother Niu these questions tomorrow; I'll remember them for now.

The banquet ended relatively late.

After cleaning up the site, the indigenous people dispersed in twos and threes back to their respective wooden houses.

Li Daniu clapped his hands, stood up, and waved to Su Qing and Wang Yao.

"Let's go to sleep, we'll talk business tomorrow."

Su Qing stood up, and Selena moved as well. Li Daniu looked back and scratched the back of his head.

"Oh right, I forgot, there are no more individual rooms on the island. Selena, you can stay at Agu's wife's place for now, the one next door."

He paused, then added.

"It's been a long time since I slept with my brothers. Tonight, the three of us will squeeze together, just like when we were kids."

Su Qing thought for a moment. It had been three years since they last met, so this request wasn't unreasonable. She nodded.

Selena said goodnight to them, turned and walked briskly to the next room.

Su Qing followed Li Daniu and Wang Yao into the house.

The ground was covered with thick animal hides, softer than I had imagined, and a grease lamp was lit in the corner, casting a dim yellow light.

As soon as Wang Yao entered, he plunged down, rolled over, tore off a piece of animal skin to cover himself, and closed his eyes.

Li Daniu lay down beside him, stretched out his legs, and let out a long breath.

Su Qing sat down near the door, folded her outer garment and put it aside, preparing to lie down.

Then Wang Yao started snoring.

It wasn't the light, even breathing sound, but a rhythmic, resonant roar that rolled out from deep within the throat.

Su Qing stopped.

About ten seconds later, Li Daniu's phone rang too.

The two snoring sounds had different frequencies, one high and one low, one long and one short, and they intertwined without warning, filling the small cabin to the brim.

Su Qing lay down, staring at the wooden beam above her head, and remained silent for a moment.

He closed his eyes.

The snoring didn't stop.

He opened his eyes again.

A night breeze blew outside, and a wisp of cool air seeped into the cracks of the wooden house, causing the flame of the grease lamp to flicker slightly.

Su Qing turned her head, looked at Wang Yao on her left, and then at Li Daniu on her right.

The two were fast asleep, their faces rosy, showing no remorse whatsoever.

He looked back at the ceiling.

This decision was made hastily...
