"..." What the hell?! It spoiled so quickly? Are you kidding me?! Xi Xi was speechless for a moment, and rolled her eyes. How bored would she have to be to specifically watch food spoil and rot...?

As expected, one shouldn't have any expectations for island mythology... Xi Xi casually put the jade box aside, stood up somewhat helplessly, and walked towards the little white duck and Aura's food bowls to clean them up.

However, just as she was about to put the matter out of her mind, another thought suddenly flashed through her mind: Why not give it a try? The Wonderful Brush System shouldn't be that unethical, right?

With this thought in mind, Xi Xi stopped and slowly turned around to look again at the jade hand box lying quietly in the corner.

Xi Xi frowned, racking her brains. Finding the right food for the experiment was of paramount importance.

This food needed to have a stable source, but it couldn't be too precious to feel like a waste. So, Xi Xi thought of duck eggs…

Xi Xi tiptoed to the refrigerator, opened the door, and furtively reached her hand inside to grope around.

Just then, the little white duck next to it seemed to notice something and tilted its head to look over curiously.

Don't look at the little white duck, it's a bad review...

"I'm busy, you go play with Aura!" Xi Xi said as she quickly turned her back, frantically blocking the little white duck's view with her body, afraid that it would notice something was amiss.

After finally managing to get the duck egg out, Xi Xi quickly put it into the wooden box.

"What if it turns into a rotten egg and I have to use it to throw at people..." Xi Xi muttered to herself, full of anxiety.

A dazzling golden light flashed, illuminating the entire carriage for a moment.

After the light disappeared, Xi Xi took a deep breath, slowly reached out, and gently lifted the lid of the wooden box.

When she saw what was inside the box, she was speechless. It was all because of that golden light; all that fanfare had given her the illusion that a golden egg would hatch…

Inside, there lay a dull gray egg covered with spots of all sizes.

The sight was truly unsightly, and Xi Xi's heart sank instantly.

With a look of dejection, she picked up the spotted gray egg, feeling its heavy weight in her hand, and her mood grew even heavier.

At that moment, the system sounded.

[Item Hint: One preserved egg (edible)]
