"...Really? Still no news? Thank you, I'll come again."

Dragging her tired body out of the Church of the Eternal Flame, Triss walked down the street with a gloomy face. She had come to the church several times, but each time she was told that the messenger was not there. This made Triss more and more confused. Did something happen to Ciri? Could it be that she was being used or imprisoned...

Feeling a little irritated, Triss came to a tavern not far away, wanting to have a drink and take a rest. However, to Triss's surprise, as soon as she pushed the door and walked into the tavern, she heard cheers coming from inside.

"This lady is amazing!"

“Come on!!”

What on earth is this doing?

Looking at the people gathered around the table in the tavern, Triss couldn't help but get curious. Although the tavern was originally a noisy and bustling place, it was still daytime, and there were basically no people except for some drunkards. However, the lively atmosphere in front of her was obviously unusual. Not only were there humans, but there were even elves and dwarves in the crowd, which immediately aroused Triss's interest, so she walked over and looked at the crowd curiously.

Triss originally thought that someone might be drinking or playing Gwent inside - after all, according to her memory, generally speaking, there were only two people who could attract the attention of the crowd in the tavern. But the result was completely beyond Triss's expectation. In front of everyone's eyes, there was a girl wearing a black robe and a black headscarf. She was holding a knife and fork in her hand, eating the food on the plate in front of her slowly. At first glance, it was just an ordinary dining scene, but for some reason, the people around her showed excitement and excitement.

"What are you doing?"

Not understanding what was going on, Triss stepped forward to ask in confusion. After hearing Triss's question, a guest nearby quickly explained it to her.

"Hey, young lady, you don't know, that girl is really amazing...!!"

After the guest's explanation, Triss finally understood what was going on - it turned out that the owner of this tavern launched a special "all you can eat" service, as long as the guests can finish their "super" set meal, then they don't have to pay. But on the other hand, if you challenge the super set meal but can't finish it, you have to pay double.

The rule of the Super Meal is that guests need to eat more than ten dishes in a row. If they can finish all ten dishes, they will be considered the winner. The guests must eat alone and cannot share with others. They cannot waste food and must eat it all up without leaving any.

The boss is also quite cunning. If you only look at the menu, it seems quite ordinary. But the problem lies in... the quantity.

It included a whole fish, a whole chicken, and a whole roasted suckling pig. In addition, there was lettuce soup in a basin as big as a washbasin and bread longer than a sword. Not to mention one person, even a family probably couldn't finish it!

In the beginning, there were many big eaters who challenged confidently, but of course they returned empty-handed. Moreover, this pub itself has a bit of background. If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to eat and dine for free, you will die miserably.

Until today, a little girl came here and asked for a challenge.

Everyone thought it was ridiculous at first. After all, the girl didn't look very old and there was no way she could complete the challenge.

What they didn't expect was that this girl actually made it all the way to the end. And unlike the others, it seemed that it made no difference to her whether she ate or not! Because the boss's rules were very strict, requiring that everything must be eaten without any leftovers, so most people couldn't hold out for long.

But the girl didn't care at all, until now, it was already the seventh dish!

"Why……?"

After listening to the guest's introduction, Triss was also surprised. She looked at the girl in front of her in surprise again and looked at her carefully.

At first glance, she was a very beautiful girl with long bright red hair and blue eyes. Her background could not be determined from her appearance, but what puzzled Triss even more was the girl's attire.

The girl was wearing a jet-black robe and a black headscarf, and looked like a nun. But Triss couldn't remember which nun from which church would dress like this, not to mention that this was the territory of the Church of the Eternal Fire, where believers usually wore red and white, not black.

Not only that, Triss also noticed that although the girl's clothes looked very simple, they were of high quality in terms of both style and fabric. If it weren't for the feeling of the clothes, the fabric alone would have made it look more like a dress that only a noble lady would wear.

In addition, the girl's movements were also quite elegant. Generally, when talking about big eaters, people would think of them as the type who wolfed down their food. However, the red-haired girl in front of her seemed to be taking her time, cutting the food in front of her with a knife and then putting it into her mouth with a fork. Both the movements and the speed seemed to be no different from ordinary eating. However, when Triss noticed, she found that the roast chicken in front of the girl was only a bare skeleton.

And at this moment, another voice sounded.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting!!"

As the voices were heard, the crowd immediately made way for it. Then two sturdy men were seen carrying a roasted pig in front of the red-haired girl and putting it down with a "bang".

“Shhhhhh!!!”

Seeing the roasted pig in front of them, the onlookers booed the boss immediately, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a grown pig, which was rare even at banquets, and yet the boss actually put it here? And roasted it so shiny and oily... To be honest, most people would probably lose their appetite just by looking at it.

However, the red-haired girl reached out her hand again slowly, cut the roasted pig, and then tasted the food again - there was no sign of anxiety or reluctance on her face, she was so calm as if the food in front of her was just ordinary and could not be more ordinary.

For a moment, Triss even suspected that the girl in front of her was using some special magic, but after careful observation, she found that the girl did not use any magic, and Triss did not know what magic could allow a person to eat so much food without changing her expression - looking at the slender waist of the red-haired girl, Triss really wondered where she had put all the food?

Just as Triss was wondering, the huge roasted pig in front of her was reduced to a pile of skeletons. If Triss hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that a slender girl could eat so much food by herself.

Seeing this, the halfling who was the tavern owner looked much uglier. There were many taverns in Novigrad, and he had attracted so many customers by coming up with this idea. I originally thought that no one could break through the super package, but now it seems that this is not the case at all!

Thinking of this, he waved his hand viciously again, and then the chef came up with his head held high and placed a bowl of soup as big as a washbasin in front of the girl. In the soup, you could see floating fish and ham, as well as stewed vegetables such as lettuce - obviously, this was also a conspiracy of the half-orc boss. Simply drinking the soup would not satisfy the requirement, but all the vegetables and meat in it had to be eaten up as well.

In other words, this dish is actually equivalent to the portion of three dishes.

But the red-haired girl was not afraid at all. She finished the food first, then lifted the basin in front of her and drank it. Everyone stared at the girl until she gasped with satisfaction and then put the bowl on the table.

Seeing this scene, the guests in the tavern immediately burst into laughter.

"Nice job, girl!"

"It's unbelievable, where on earth did she eat all that food?"

"Could it be some weird magic?"

"There are so many people watching, how could we see her use any magic?"

"I really don't understand this. The food she eats would be taller than her if it were piled up!"

Ignoring the commotion around her, the red-haired girl put down her cutlery, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at the pale-faced halfling tavern owner.

"Anything else, boss?"

"No, that's it... Miss, you win..."

At this moment, the halfling boss was also trembling. He didn't know what to say to the red-haired girl's question. In the end, he could only nod his head. Although according to the rules, the "Super" set meal has no limit, it only says that if you eat more than ten dishes, you can eat for free, but it doesn't say how much you have to eat. Maybe after one or two more dishes, the girl in front of him will fall down, but seeing that she looks so relaxed, the halfling boss dare not bet on this. Besides, the girl has already eaten ten dishes, so she has passed. If he continues to insist, it will cause dissatisfaction among other customers.

Originally this was just a gimmick to attract customers. Now someone has passed the level, and she is such a slim and beautiful girl. If this is advertised, it will definitely attract more customers, so the boss doesn't mind spending that little bit of money on the meal.

Moreover, it would be fine if the challenges kept failing, but once there was the first person to pass the level, there would be a second one. Not to mention that the first person to pass the level was a woman, which would definitely stimulate those grown men to come here to challenge.

Thinking of this, the halfling boss immediately perked up and raised his hand high.

"I am here to announce that this beautiful red-haired lady has won the challenge of the super meal! Therefore, all her meal expenses will be waived!"

“Ohhhhhh!!!”

The boss announced the result so happily, and the guests raised their glasses and cheered. After watching this good show, Triss smiled and shook her head, turning around and preparing to leave.

However, at this moment, suddenly, the door of the tavern opened, and then a white-haired girl with a long sword behind her walked in. When she saw the red-haired girl standing up, her eyes suddenly lit up and she walked over.

"You are here, Miss Liz. It took me so long to find you... What are you doing?"

"Sorry, Miss Ciri, I just heard from the owner that there is an all-you-can-eat free challenge meal here, so I want to try it."

“Ah… I see.”

Hearing Liz's answer, Ciri's expression changed slightly, then she looked at the halfling boss not far away with a little sympathy, and then looked away.

"Okay, let's go back quickly. Mr. Fang Zheng has sent me news that he has found a good place."

"Really? I'm leaving now."

Hearing Ciri's answer, Liz nodded hurriedly, and then the two of them hurried towards the door.

And at this moment, a voice reached Ciri's ears.

“…Ciri?”

"Why?"

Hearing the voice, Ciri turned around and saw Triss coming over and staring at her in amazement.

"Are you really Ciri?"

“…Triss?”

For the two of them, this was a rare coincidence.
