[Damn! Yun Xiao! What are you doing?!]

After being hungry for half a minute, even Master Zero couldn't help but speak up.

[How did you end up starving like this? Even my nutrition can't support it... Didn't you just eat three minutes ago? Already digested it all?]

"You ask me... I don't know either..."

Yun You was so hungry she couldn't sit still, leaning against the wall shivering, her voice weak like an ICU patient about to kick the bucket.

"Could it be... a problem with this Body Refining Manual..."

The little girl's voice was as thin as a mosquito's, pausing after every word.

As soon as she finished speaking, the starry text finally changed, as if answering her suspicion.

[Please note that the Star-Attracting Skill is different from general Body Refining Manuals. The physical enhancement process will be more intense than other manuals, and it will also rapidly consume the user's own energy]

[So a friendly reminder, please try to prepare some high-energy foods around, like chocolate, sugar, protein powder, etc. It's best to stock up a month's worth, otherwise you might fail in body enhancement due to excessive hunger, even leading to fainting or injury...]

"You... you...!"

Yun You widened her eyes, struggling to breathe with a voice almost inaudible: "Why didn't you say this before the process started!"

"Aren't you... screwing people over...!"

[Sorry, really didn't expect this situation]

The starry text slowly reorganized, although it included an apology, there was no sign of remorse, with a completely "not-my-problem" attitude.

[Who knew you would finish the first and second stages so quickly? My thought process didn't even have time to react before you plunged into the body enhancement stage; you can't entirely blame me for that...]

[If you could slow down by just ten seconds, you might have seen my warning]

Seeing this, Yun You only felt darkness before her eyes, chest faintly stuffy.

Earlier, she was proud of her "achievement" in breaking two records consecutively.

But now, in just over a minute, the boomerang has hit her head.

[Never mind what that goofy book says! Yun Xiao, think of a way to get some food! Anything will do, just shove it into your mouth!]

[If you don't eat, that bottomless stomach of yours will start eating you!]

Hearing this, Yun You became more clearheaded.

"Right... eating is crucial..."

She gulped down a large mouthful of northwest wind, then struggled and crawled towards the room.

The Jinming Homestay room was fully equipped, naturally also with a universal vending machine.

Although the vending machine here might not have as much supply as outside, it should be enough to buy some food to get by the emergency...

However, the machine was located at the entrance to the room, really not close to Yun You. In her current state, crawling over was quite challenging.

Fortunately, Master Zero played a role at this critical moment. When the girl used her right hand to support herself, he activated the Red Scale into the Giant Claw form, propelling Yun You directly to hit the chair next to the vending machine, saving her from this deadly journey.

Without hesitation, Yun You thrust her bank card into the vending machine, then madly pressed buttons, ignoring the prices, she bought a bunch of chocolate and candy.

When the first sweet candy slid down Yun You's throat, the deadly hunger finally got some relief.

But it was just a drop in the ocean.

Yun You kept gobbling candies, stuffing bags of high-calorie snacks into her mouth, without chewing, just swallowed them whole.

Normally, eating like this, her kidneys would definitely be the first to fail, followed by a combo of fatty liver, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar.

But the reality was, these foods simply had no chance to be absorbed by the organs. They entered the little girl's stomach and were decomposed into pure energy by the Star-Attracting Skill, then taken away and distributed to the body enhancement function.

This caused Yun You to never feel full.

Although she could feel that her physique was improving at an astonishing speed, which was encouraging...

But that damn, unshakable hunger felt like an endless nightmare, making her feel short of breath.

She raised her head with difficulty, glancing at the expense figure on the universal vending machine.

[You have spent: 1070 Yabi, please pay attention to your financial security, wishing you a pleasant shopping experience]

Yes, in just a few minutes, she had eaten up over a thousand Silver Cannons, equivalent to a month's expenses for a low-income family in Nest City, which was her earnings for two months.

The little girl felt a bit of heartache.

Her money didn't come from a windfall...

Moreover, this thousand was just enough for a few minutes; if this state continues for several hours or even days, what should she do?

She now only had 130,000 Silver Cannons at hand, meaning Yun You could only last about 10 hours...

If her body enhancement process exceeds 10 hours, she'll have to face a depletion of ammo and food.

"Damn!"

The little girl cursed under her breath, tore open a box of chocolate, and threw the hard chocolate bar into her mouth.

She was starting to feel a bit nauseous.

The sweet and greasy food made her mouth and throat dry... having continuously eaten hundreds of bags of salty snacks made her feel psychologically queasy.

But her stomach was still growling with hunger, like a bottomless pit, devouring everything that came.

Time passed swiftly just like that.

One hour... two hours...

Yun You's physique was advancing towards a very exaggerated number, but at the same time, her money was evaporating like the stock prices in Nest City.

This was a silent contest, a tug-of-war between Yun You and her body.

Three hours... four hours...

Yun You's money was disappearing faster than she expected. In just four hours, her card was already down to 60,000.

Meanwhile, the Information Reconnaissance Chip sold by Yuanbao marked out her latest physical stats.

[Arm Strength Data: Lifting 1800 kilograms with both hands (Standard is 1700 kilograms)]

[Punch Power Data: Left fist 2300 kilograms (Standard 2000 kilograms) / Right fist 3500 kilograms (Standard 3000 kilograms)]

[Speed Standard: 80 meters/second (Standard 60 meters/second, maintain at least 1 minute)]

At this moment, Yun You's physical data had reached the entry-level standard of an Apprentice Death God, but still a ways off from Old Jin's standard.

This gave her a sliver of hope.

So, the eating continued.

Six hours... eight hours...

Yun You couldn't help but retch several times.

Eating for several consecutive hours was not something an ordinary person could endure.

Never mind chocolate and juice, which are inherently cloying, even delicacies can't withstand this way of eating!

How she managed to hang on was entirely due to the continuously improving physical stats...

But now, more than Yun You herself, it's her wallet that can no longer hold on.

By the tenth hour.

Yun You bought a white chocolate, completely emptying the last penny from her bank card.

[Insufficient balance, please recharge]

A line of cold, ruthless words shattered her fantasy like hailstones, yanking her back to the impoverished reality...
