Why Panic A Different Way to Eat

Their pace would slow down from here on.

How much they could ultimately eat would also depend on Little Lin’s performance.

Only then did Chi Qingchi remember to observe the teammates around her.

Little Lin had sounded so confident earlier.

He should at least have some real ability, right?

Most people wouldn’t dare make such a bold claim without something to back it up!

But the moment Chi Qingchi looked over, she nearly spat out the meat in her mouth.

Only two skewers of meat remained on her tray. All the others had been stripped clean, leaving nothing but bare sticks.

If Lin Yu had eaten all the meat from those skewers, that would have been one thing.

However…

Little Lin hadn’t eaten it at all. Instead, he had stripped the meat off the skewers one piece at a time and placed it into the tray of water.

Chi Qingchi’s eyes widened. “???”

“Ahem…”

“Little Lin? What are you doing?”

“Will this even still taste good?”

“If you can’t finish it on the skewers, you won’t be able to finish it on the plate either!”

Chi Qingchi paused her eating and asked Lin Yu suspiciously.

The whole thing had left her completely bewildered.

She had never seen anyone eat grilled meat skewers like this online.

Then again, the internet was still far too harmonious these days.

No one had yet truly relied on reckless overeating to attract traffic.

Lin Yu could be said to be using a kind of “black technology” from the future.

“Little Chi, go get five more skewers.”

“I feel like these should be enough for me to eat by myself.”

“You can handle another five, right?”

Lin Yu was still in the mood to chat with Chi Qingchi.

Chi Qingchi, however, had no interest in joking around.

The sight of such a large plate of meat soaked in water made her feel uneasy.

And yet Little Lin could still smile?

He was even asking her to get another five skewers?

Thirty skewers were already a mountain that was nearly impossible to cross—

the kind of challenge that would make even the Foolish Old Man despair.

And now he wanted to raise the mountain even higher?

For a moment, Chi Qingchi was too caught off guard to know what to say.

After all, Lin Yu was the boyfriend she had only just started dating.

If she said something too discouraging, their relationship might be affected by the competition.

“Why don’t you try eating these first?”

“Once you’ve eaten most of them, you can go get more. That should be fine, right…?”

Chi Qingchi could only express her concerns tactfully.

She didn’t say it outright, but her little expression gave everything away.

How could Lin Yu not know what Little Chi was worried about?

Microexpressions didn’t lie.

This was a competitive eating contest.

In the eyes of the other people in the apartment, it might not seem like a big deal.

But to Little Chi, it was extremely important.

How could Lin Yu possibly joke around with her about something like this?

He had laid enough groundwork already.

All right…

It was time to show what he was capable of.

Judging by the size of the meat chunks, this shouldn’t be a problem.

While tearing the meat apart just now, Lin Yu had even tried swallowing the pieces twice.

That’s right!

In a competitive eating contest, if you wanted to eat fast enough, the best method was to chew as little as possible.

Instead, you sped up the challenge by swallowing.

Children absolutely must not imitate this.

Ordinary people with small appetites shouldn’t try it casually either.

Swallowing with reduced chewing, provided you didn’t choke, would give your stomach a misleading impression.

In other words…

I’m not full yet!

Even when you would normally already be full, your body wouldn’t notice—or would notice only very slowly.

As for whether you would induce vomiting after completing the challenge or force yourself to endure it, that was a matter for later.

At least during the challenge, it could help you perform beyond your normal limits.

And with Lin Yu’s modified body, this way of eating…

was completely effortless!
