At this moment, Su Jiu finished a pack of braised-flavored instant noodles and then opened a pack of self-heating hot pot.
Among the supplies she brought was bottled water, and soon the self-heating hot pot was bubbling and steaming.
The system recounted to Su Jiu the story of Wen Wan and her group fishing.
Su Jiu: [Haha, so Wen Wan's talk is all theory and no practice.]
System: [Yes, they've been fishing for almost an hour now. Their stockings—oh, no, their fishing nets—are all torn, but they haven't caught a single fish.]
Su Jiu: [Okay.]
Who told this group to form a clique and isolate her?
Serves you right.
System: [This group of people is starving. They searched for other food but only found a few coconuts, which they couldn't open. They're now walking this way.]
Su Jiu: [Why are you coming this way?]
System: [You'll find out soon.]
Su Jiu held the self-heating hot pot and happily ate the meatballs, sausages, and beef inside using disposable chopsticks.
I'm so hungry I could cry.
The instant noodles in my hand suddenly don't taste so good anymore; I want to buy a small hot pot instead.
[Haha, it smells so good and looks so tempting!]
Wenwan led everyone along the road, their stomachs rumbling with hunger. They were all so hungry they were almost out of strength when they smelled an extremely tempting aroma.
"It smells so good! I can smell beef!"
"Me too, I can smell the meatballs!"
"Is this the aroma coming from Sujiu?"
"It must be Su wine!"
Everyone walked with increasing enthusiasm and hurried towards Su Jiu's direction.
When they arrived, Su Jiu was sitting cross-legged on a baobab tree, holding a self-heating hot pot and enjoying her meal.
The group of people looking up at Su Jiu: ...
Everyone's cravings are even stronger now, what should we do?
"Su Jiu, we just tried to fish, but we didn't catch anything. We're starving!" Qiao Shanshan said. "Look, you still have so much food in your bag. Share some with us!"
“Yes,” Liang Feng added, “when we find food, we’ll share some with you.”
Su Jiu devoured a large meatball in one bite, chewing slowly and then looking at them with amusement after swallowing. "Why should I share my food with you?"
"Just because you're thick-skinned, just because you're shameless?"
"Su Jiu, how could you do this? There's so much food in this bag, you can't possibly eat it all by yourself. What's wrong with sharing some with us?" Qiao Shanshan said angrily, her words righteous. "Do you want to see us starve to death?"
"Just because I can't finish it, does that mean I should share it with you?" Su Jiu took a bite of the fragrant and soft tempura. "How dare you!"
"Besides, if you starve to death, it's because you're incompetent. What does it have to do with me? Stop trying to morally blackmail me, thank you."
[Su Jiu is going too far! There's so much food but she won't share it with them. That's so selfish!]
[My God, Su Jiu is truly cold-blooded and ruthless.]
[Su Jiu is actually right. Su Jiu can't finish all this food by himself, but if it's shared with the others, it won't be enough for so many people.]
[Giving the food to them significantly reduced Su Jiu's rations. She would then have to figure out how to get through the next few days.]
"Su Jiu, you..." Qiao Shanshan's eyes turned red with anger.
"Hehehe." Su Jiu made a face, then ate the enoki mushrooms in the hot pot by herself. "Wow, the enoki mushrooms are so fragrant and soft."
"And these wide rice noodles are so soft, they're so translucent they're almost stringy. They're so soft and chewy."
"The 'pissing beef balls' are also delicious; they burst with juice when you bite into them."
Everyone: ...
What do you do when your mouth is watering from cravings?
"Su Jiu, you're so awful! We're all starving, and you're still making noises here!" Qiao Shanshan sneered, wishing she could rush up and tear Su Jiu to shreds.
"Su Jiu, even if you're not going to give us any, there's no need to tempt us, is there? We're already starving." Wen Wan looked tired and pitiful.
“That’s right, Su Jiu, you’ve gone too far! We only came to you because we were really out of food. Otherwise, do you think it was easy for us to lower our heads and put aside our pride?” Huang Li chimed in.
"Even if you only give each of us a small piece of compressed biscuit, so we have the energy to keep looking for food, that would be fine. We'll definitely share with you once we find food," Liang Feng said.
Zheng Junmei moved her lips, "Teacher Wen, please give us something to eat."
[Hahaha, that felt so good!]
[I suddenly felt really good about Su Jiu.]
[Initially, everyone looked down on Su Jiu and even tried to form a small group to isolate him. But now, everyone is begging Su Jiu for food. This contrast is absolutely hilarious.]
[Don't go too far with the Su wine, give them something to eat.]
Su Jiu had already finished her boxed lunch in no time. She looked at them speechlessly and said, "You bunch of able-bodied people can't find food, which is fine, but instead you come here to beg for mercy."
"If I give you my food, will I be starving? Or do you think I'm some kind of idiot who'll give you food just because you're being pitiful?" Su Jiu was speechless.
If they hadn't isolated her or formed a clique, she might have taken pity on them and shared some food with them. But now, no way.
"Fine, you were the one who acted ruthlessly first." Qiao Shanshan's anger surged. "Since you're going to watch us starve to death and kill us, then we don't need to be polite anymore."
