Chapter 97

Biggie sat on a bench under a streetlight in the harbor, feeling down.

His job had only lasted for less than a month. Although he was scolded every day, it was still a job, and he had food and shelter every day. Now that he had lost his job, he really did not know where to go.

Biggie, who was not the same size as the average person, had a far greater appetite than the average person. That was why he cherished every job he had. This was because there was no telling when the boss would kick him out if he felt that he ate more than he could do.

"Uncle, are you okay?" A voice suddenly came from the side.

Biggie turned his head and saw the two customers from earlier. He smiled kindly. "I'm fine."

"That boss was so unreasonable. It's not your fault that you fell. You obviously mopped the floor and it was too slippery." Gu Ding also felt it was unfair for Biggie.

"That table and chair aren't worth much at all. That boss is clearly trying to cheat us out of our wages." Although Lilliath admitted that the boss was a good cook, she did not dare compliment his character.

"It's okay, I can always look for more." Biggie scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard the two of them speaking up for him.

"Hey, there's a lot of food on those cargo ships!" Lilliath suddenly saw a dozen or so cargo ships docked not far away start unloading their cargo. The cargo was all food.

"Tomorrow is the Derisis Food Festival, and there will be an all-night party tonight. This time of the year is the busiest time in Derisis." Biggie tried his best not to look at the food, but his stomach betrayed him and made a hungry protest.

"Uncle, you haven't had lunch yet, have you?" Gu Ding grinned, revealing his white teeth. "It's our treat!"

"This …" Biggie was a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but Gu Ding grabbed his wrist and pulled him up.

"Gu Ding will be very sad if you refuse," Lilliath lowered her voice and whispered in Biggie's ear.

Biggie followed the two of them to the entrance of a high-end restaurant. Looking at the signboard at the door, Biggie shook his head. He felt out of place in such a place. "I'd better not go in."

"Gu Ding, why don't you treat Uncle to your egg fried rice!" Liliath suddenly suggested. "That way, Uncle won't be embarrassed."

"Yes, come to our ship as a guest, Uncle!" Gu Ding nodded and gave a very warm invitation.

Biggie was not a person who was good at rejecting people. Seeing Gu Ding's enthusiasm, he had no choice but to agree.

"This is your spaceship?!"

Biggie was shocked when he saw the Grey-faced Buzzard. It had been a long time since a spaceship of this level had appeared on Planet Derisis. Many local residents at the port were taking pictures under the spaceship.

"Cool, right?" Gu Ding grinned as he led Biggie into the spaceship.

After entering the spaceship, Biggie was a little envious of Gu Ding and Lilliath's life. The spaceship was decorated very homey and spacious. The thing that caught Biggie's attention the most was the large open kitchen. For a moment, he even had an idea — to stay.

However, he soon felt ashamed of his thoughts. He knew nothing but eating, so staying here would only cause trouble for others.

Soon, Gu Ding was busy in the kitchen while Liliath served Biggie drinks.

"Take a seat. Have a drink to replenish your sugar. Gu Ding will be done soon." To ease Biggie's discomfort, Liliath turned on the spaceship's video projection and had Neptune connect to the local frequency.

The channel was broadcasting information about the Food Festival. This made Biggie, who had been a little nervous, relax a lot. Most of his attention was attracted to the show.

With Liliath's unique observation skills, she quickly noticed that Biggie was staring intently at the chef's movements when he was cooking on camera a few times. She sneaked into the kitchen and told Gu Ding about her discovery.

"Lili, are you saying that we should invite Uncle to be our chef?" Gu Ding raised his eyebrows. He thought about it and felt that it was a good idea. "Sure, but it depends on whether Uncle is willing."

The egg fried rice was soon served. Considering Biggie's size, Gu Ding guessed that he must have a big appetite, so he made a whole pot.

Biggie almost drooled when he smelled the aroma. After thanking the two of them, he buried his head in the food. It only took him less than two minutes to finish the whole pot of Egg-Fried Rice, not even a single grain of rice was left.

"It's really delicious!" Biggie gave Gu Ding a thumbs up.

"Uncle, would you like to consider staying and being our chef?" Gu Ding suddenly made an invitation.

"Be a chef? But I don't have a chef's license. Also, I've only been in the kitchen once in my life, and I was kicked out. "

"But you want to be a chef, don't you?" Gu Ding's question hit the nail on the head.

Biggie fell silent …

At that moment, Liliath handed the spoon to Biggie. "Why don't you try it? If you don't think it's possible, we won't force you."

Gu Ding nodded at the side.

Biggie looked at the large open kitchen not far away, then looked down at the spoon in his hand. "Then … I'll try …"

"All the ingredients are in the fridge. Feel free to use them!" Gu Ding shouted as he gave Biggie a thumbs up as he walked toward the kitchen.

Biggie rummaged through his mind for some of the dishes he had secretly learned over the years as he rummaged through the fridge for the corresponding ingredients. Liliath had prepared a wide variety of ingredients, giving Biggie a lot to choose from. He quickly chose three dishes to try out.

The moment he gripped the kitchen knife with both hands, he felt like he was full of energy.

Gu Ding and Liliath were a little surprised when they heard the frequency of the kitchen knife hitting the cutting board. Biggie's chopping frequency did not seem like that of an amateur, which surprised both of them.

"Neptune, what do you think of him?"

"I've looked into his information. He's an orphan. When he was seven years old, he was sent to a labor camp for stealing food. During a fight, he awakened his first ability, Knife Heart. After his ability awakened, he disappeared for three years. Three years later, he reappeared in Derisis. All his memories of those three years had been erased. The only thing that changed was his body size. "Neptune investigated very carefully, but he still could not find out where Biggie had gone for the past three years.

"Body size? You mean, his body size wasn't like this before?" Liliath was more interested in this point.

"He used to be very thin, the same type as Gu Ding. During the three years he disappeared, he suddenly grew to more than two meters tall and became a muscular man. His transformation was not caused by a special ability, but by long-term training and regular injections of medicine, "Neptune explained.

"What kind of ability is Knife Heart? Is it related to knives? "Gu Ding was a little interested in this special ability.

"He can read everything about a knife in an instant. In martial arts, countless people are envious of the state of being one with a knife. He mastered it at the age of seven." Neptune's explanation made Gu Ding and Liliath unable to close their mouths. "However, I suspect that his amazing ability may have been taken away."
