Chapter 66: Flyers (1/2)

Due to her stomach feeling like it was setting ablaze, Chu Fu couldn’t hold herself back and eagerly pushed her shopping cart until the checkout counter.

She finished handing over her money with the quickest speed she could muster, and when the cashier was helping her put the purchased snacks into her bags, Chu Fu impatiently used her teeth to tear open the piece of ham’s wrapping, wolfing it down the next second.

Soon, she completely chewed through that humongous oval-shaped ham, but this snack was a far cry from satisfying her roaring appetite.

Chu Fu ate as she walked when approaching the mall’s entrance with Bai Yan.

In less than half an hour, she had already gobbled up the big bag of snacks she just bought, letting out a sigh of satisfaction while her face looked like she was settling into a food coma.

“She could really eat…”

Bai Yan saw with his own eyes how Chu Fu finished the giant pile of food like a hungry beast.

But, it was still strange. Even after eating a lot, Chu Fu’s belly remained flat.

But recently, she didn’t get that bloated feeling after she ate, and during her runs, she would even feel her body becoming stronger.

So, she tried to not throw up after she ate but didn’t expect it to work. Following her gorging on food for the next two days, she measured her body weight in the morning on an empty stomach like usual. To her pleasant surprise, her weight didn’t change at all. This led her to be in complete bliss as she ate and drank more recklessly than before.

She had originally assumed that those mukbang stars were all bulimic, how could there be people who wildly ate but still be thin in this world. But, when it happened to her body, she immediately believed it—— There was truly something in this world called a gift, and this would never come through envy!

“If I had known earlier that more exercise would keep me slim, why did I have to throw up before?”

Chu Fu held disdain for her lazy self in her heart, but upon hearing these sort of words, the more Bai Yan thought that there was something wrong.

He didn’t know whether there were people who had strange gifts on this earth, but it absolutely couldn’t be Chu Fu. How could someone who had bulimia suddenly get well? Furthermore, no matter how much she ate, she still wouldn’t fatten up while her complexion looked so rosy and healthy that it resembled someone who had just eaten ginseng. Genetic mutations also couldn’t have acted this quickly, right?

During his stay in the game’s world, Bai Yan always thought pessimistically, thinking things would turn out for the worst.

He originally assumed that Chu Fu was only a bit stupid, but looking at her right now, this lady’s body had weirdness written all over it.

Seeing how Chu Fu was stuck in her ignorant bliss and self-satisfaction, Bai Yan also didn’t want her to have a sudden realization.

He sidetracked Chu Fu with a few words and found that she didn’t check up on her recent changes, thinking that everything was still normal, which made Bai Yan change the subject and didn’t mention it again.

Because Cai Yu died too quickly, the two people didn’t spend that much time inside the mall.

After chatting with Chu Fu for a bit and watching her eat a boatload full of food, the time had just reached 10, and it was still too early for the next NPC’s arrival.

Bai Yan inadvertently shot a glance to the door and saw that the mascot outside was still braving the blaring sun, giving out flyers.

On this hot day, being stuffed inside a thick costume was terribly unpleasant.

However, due to being forced to make a livelihood, the person inside had no other choice but to brave the torrid heat and work.

The mascot walked over to the stream of bustling people, waving and handing out the flyers to each person that passed by. But, the passersby were indifferent to the mascot’s efforts, and when faced with the mascot’s flyers, only a few people would accept one.

Yet, those who did take one would instantly throw the flyer into a nearby trash can within a few steps away, not having any intentions of reading it.

“How could he still not speak up? How long before he’ll finish distributing the flyers like this?”

Since it was still early before the next NPC would come, Chu Fu saw how the mascot was handing out his flyers and couldn’t help but feel impatient on his behalf.

After Chu Fu said this, Bai Yan’s mind had returned from his deep pondering, he once again looked at the mascot that sent out the flyers.

The mascot didn’t say a word, only silently extending his hand and giving the people who passed by a flyer.

Even when other people didn’t receive the paper, it still didn’t plead for people to get it, continuing to repeatedly reach out his hand in a mechanical way, waiting for the next person.

“…” This work ethic truly had some issues.

Bai Yan’s heart was moved, so he moved closer to the mascot’s side.

Seeing someone get closer, the mascot extended its hand to hand over a flyer. Bai Yan took a glance and found that the contents of the flyer were nothing out of the ordinary, so he walked back without taking one.

Despite the flyer not having any problems, Bai Yan thought about it a bit more and took out his phone, taking a quick photo of the mascot.

In the photo, the mascot was right below the basking sun handing out flyers and looked like it was doing its best, seeming like nothing was out of the blue.

But… it didn’t have a shadow inside the picture.
