You can still manage one more.
Believe in yourself.
You have a hearty appetite.
She silences her complaints and mechanically stuffs one tanguan after another until her body is rounded out, her mouth stuffed with the morsels, caught in a state of impending regurgitation.
The sound of the alarm jolts Sue Xihan awake, pulling her from a revery.
The details of her dream elude her, but it seemed she experienced a feast of sorts.
Ceaselessly consuming, she recalls having had a late night snack before sleeping.
Could she still be so ravenous in her dreams? Rubbing her eyes, she silences the alarm and sits up in bed.
The thick curtains block out the light, casting the room in dimness, while the wristband charging by her bedside alongside the glowing screen of the Divine Kingdom game in idle mode emits a faint luminescence.
The image is small, yet she can discern that the game character appears to be eating.
Does she have provisions in her backpack? She believes so.
She just returned from successful expedition, having gathered a plethora of items.
With that thought, Suzie Han rises and approaches the window to draw back the curtains.
The sunlight streamed through the window, heralding a splendid sunny day.
She opened the window, and the melodious chirping of birds mingled with the rustling of leaves, wafting gently into her ears.
The breeze caressed her skin, bringing with it a sense of comfort.
Her tousled hair danced lightly in the wind.
It was of medium length, just grazing above her shoulders.
At times when engaged in work, she would tie it into a ponytail or fashion a small bun.
However, during these past few days, she had mostly let it flow freely.
The sun's rays warmed her, and soon she felt a slight heat.
She shifted to the side, seeking refuge from the sunlight.
After a brief wash in the bathroom, she poured herself a glass of water and approached her computer desk.
On screen, her in-game character was in the open courtyard behind a temple, tending to a fire and roasting a creature resembling a pig beside the campfire.
The character savored a large piece of meat with unabashed glee.
A glance at the system log revealed, "You have completed your training.
You proceeded to the backyard to gather materials for cooking.
You have successfully roasted the spirit water wild boar.
You're currently eating mood inspiration.
" She noticed how the game had become increasingly intuitive.
Her character exhibited greater autonomy with each passing moment.
Over time, it seemed to embody her essence more closely, mirroring her habits and appearance.
Should another player encounter this, they might be thoroughly startled.
Fortunately, she understood the phenomenon.
This was merely the result of an ever tightening connection between two dimensions, rendering the awareness of her parallel self less peculiar.
The internal testing of the game was now halfway through and soon a closed beta would conclude as she settled in front of her computer.
Her character seemed to acknowledge her presence, lifting the roasted meat in her direction as if to say, "You may eat first.
" Suzie Han chose not to interrupt her character's meal.
She was not one to impose upon even the time of her virtual counterpart.
She recalled the battles and divine conflicts awaiting her.
But for now, she allowed her character to enjoy a moment of relaxation.
Suzi Han was not unduly hard on herself.
After changing into a fresh outfit and dawning her smart wristband, she ventured out for a lavish breakfast.
She opted for meat-filled buns accompanied by bowls of soy milk.
She reminded herself not to waste food, recalling her past life when she had consumed all manner of leftovers.
She could easily finish two bowls of soy milk.
Though she felt satiated in her dreams, her physical body still craved nourishment.
After devouring two buns and drinking two bowls of soy milk, she felt little change in her stomach.
The buns filled with savory beef were substantial, their soft dough bursting with flavor and juiciness.
According to her usual appetite, she should have been full by now.
Yet, as she touched her flat abdomen, she wondered where all the food had vanished.
Perhaps she should indulge in two more.
After all, these were hefty meat buns, not mere dumplings, and four large buns certainly exceeded her typical portion.
As she nibbled on her bun, a rather audacious thought crossed her mind.
She could, like her in-game character, consume an entire pig.
Yet, how could such an idea arise that a game character could consume? Attributed to her innate gift of an insatiable appetite.
Wait a moment.
Did I not just yesterday empathize with this game character, feeling her pain and sharing her words? A dreadful thought once again surged within Suzi Han's mind.
Chapter 44.
The abyss Suzhan consumed two more buns.
Yet she still felt unsatisfied.
Realizing the underlying truth, in an effort to maintain discretion, she refrained from showcasing her voracious appetite in the breakfast shop, opting instead to purchase food to take home.
Ultimately, she indulged in six buns, two bowls of soy milk, and had 100 buns, 50 tea eggs, and two bowls of wontons packed for her journey home.
Any additional burden would be unwelcome.
Upon returning home, she activated the gaming interface on her wristband, observing her character, Shiaozi Han, as it feasted on roasted meat.
Meanwhile, Suzi Han savored her buns, wontons, and tea eggs.
After finishing two bowls of wontons, 30 buns, and five tea eggs, she could consume no more, letting out a satisfied burp.
The character in the game, however, did not pause and continued to devour half a pig.
With another pig already poised on the spit, with a contemplative sigh, Suzie Han stored the remaining food in the refrigerator.
She gently caressed her abdomen, which remained flat.
Yet she felt a warm vitality coursing through her as if brimming with strength.
Her awakened talent was the endless stomach essradable attribute allowing her progyny to inherit her traits, enabling them to eat anything without discrimination, relishing all flavors, and possessing the capability to convert any substance into energy.
Due to the convergence of world dimensions, she had now acquired a portion of this extraordinary ability.
After consuming such an abundance, where was the energy? In reality, there existed no cultivation system, no spiritual or divine powers.
Thus, the simplest transformation of energy manifested as physical strength.
Tentatively, Suzie Han glanced around the room, her eyes landing on the coffee table, a sturdy little piece of furniture.
She casually tossed a paper towel onto the sofa and effortlessly lifted one side of the table.
A thrill surged within her.
The food she had consumed had indeed transformed in a power.
She proceeded to lift the table, the washing machine, the refrigerator, every heavy object in her home with remarkable ease.
Standing before the mirror, Suzie Han scrutinized a reflection.
The girl she once was stood tall, neither overweight nor underweight, her abdomen flat, but with a slight softness.
Lacking a fitness routine, her physique bore no evident muscle definition, presenting an ordinary, unremarkable shape.
The manifestation of this was a softness to her flesh, an absence of substantial strength.
She struggled with physical tasks and found herself winded after ascending just three or four flights of stairs.
Due to frequent overtime, she endured a few minor health issues such as a heavy sensation in her body, occasional headaches, and stomach ailments.
Yet now, the girl reflected in the mirror, while unchanged in her weight, exhibited a newfound firmness throughout her form.
Lifting her shirt revealed traces of defined abdominal muscles and taught lines, starkly contrasting her previous self.
She appeared as though she had maintained a consistent exercise regimen, embodying a naturally toned physique.
Beneath her firm exterior lay a thin layer of explosive muscle.
Raising her arm, she exerted a gentle force, revealing the subtle contours of muscle beneath her slender arms.
With a sense of empowerment, Suzie Han stepped away from the fulllength mirror.
Strength was indeed a virtue.
Her aesthetic sensibilities did not favor the fragile and delicate.
She had always admired robust women.
Previously, she had always harbored aspirations of engaging in fitness.
However, in the years following her graduation, she has relentlessly pursued her career, leaving little energy for physical exercise.
It is well known that fitness demands considerable vitality, and in this regard, she has evidently been somewhat lethargic.
Apart from maintaining her weight within a healthy range, she has yet to take any action toward fitness.
The fact that she can indulge in food while possessing a perfect figure is truly a delightful surprise.
