Capítulo 2476: Chapter 1656: Since Things Are Like This, Let’s Eat First (What to Eat Is a Problem) (Part 2)
“What’s going on? What should we do now!”
Producer Sangtian grumbled with dissatisfaction. Nobody expected that there would be a curse just from having a al! How is anyone supposed to survive like this?
“We’ve already eaten everything once, we’ve tried all the ingredients in the fridge!”
“No, there’s still sothing we haven’t eaten.”
Duanmu Huai stared at the fridge, speaking silently. The crowd froze for a mont and then reacted, faces turning pale.
“Wait, wait—! You can’t be serious!”
The others were in a state of panic; the Hunger Curse was uncomfortable but bearable. However, the problem was—there was also the insect egg horror tale!
If it were just one, it would be tolerable, but now, the two horror tales are mixing together!
That ans either they eat the insect eggs and beco beds for the hatching bugs, or they starve to death!
This really leaves no way out!
“But no one would treat insect eggs as food!”
Composer Cang Qian spoke in confusion, while Duanmu Huai and Chitanda exchanged glances again, saying nothing.
Yesterday, Banai vividly imagined whether to fry or steam the insect eggs.
“So, what now?”
Producer Sangtian’s face was pale.
“There’s no way we’re really eating the insect eggs! I’m not eating them!”
“There’s no choice left.”
Duanmu Huai sighed silently, then stood up, walked to the fridge, took out the insect eggs, and placed them on the stove. Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
“Wait, Duanmu, are you going to eat them?”
Teacher Gan Xia couldn’t help but speak in dissuasion, but Duanmu Huai just shook his head, glancing at Banai.
“Anyway, I’ll try it first.”
“???”
Although they didn’t know what Duanmu Huai was saying, everyone still watched him. Then they saw Duanmu Huai boiling water, and once the water boiled, he peeled the skin off the insect egg—revealing the pink flesh inside.
“——–“
Seeing this, everyone instinctively held their breath. Although Miyamoto had described the insect egg in the horror tale, now that they looked at it, the insides of this insect egg felt more like an oversized grapefruit. The only difference was that it was covered in viscous liquid, nauseating to see.
Duanmu Huai took out the flesh, then drew his Sword and sliced it open, glanced, and then directly tossed it into the pot.
Then…

“Poof——–!!”
Accompanied by a sll like flatulence, a stench wafted from the pot, causing everyone in the kitchen to quickly retreat.
“Ugh, it’s so slly!”
“Why is it so stinky!”
“Can this thing be eaten?!”
Everyone complained, even Banai distanced herself, pinching her nose. Only Duanmu Huai was indifferent, trying various thods of steaming, frying, and boiling, even roasting it directly but to no avail; the mont this fruit touched fire, it imdiately released a thick, nauseating odor akin to a septic tank. Although Duanmu Huai quickly turned on the exhaust fan, everyone else was groaning.
After going through all the thods, Duanmu Huai took another fruit and handed it to Banai.
“Do you think this can be eaten?”
“Ugh——-“
Banai stared at the fruit in Duanmu Huai’s hand with disdain, then shook her head after a mont.
“No, this can’t be eaten at all.”
“Ugh—–!”
As Banai spoke, the others behind her imdiately covered their mouths, looking uncomfortable.
“Why, why is my stomach so bloated!”
“I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to throw up—! Where’s the bathroom, where’s the bathroom!”
Watching the crowd rush to find the bathroom, Duanmu Huai silently breathed a sigh of relief. He’s figured out the rules of this place: clearly, these situations follow the rules of the horror tales they discuss. The problem with Banai is her lower limits in her recipe, so as long as Banai considers these insect eggs to be food, other people, no matter how unwilling they are to eat, will be considered picky, triggering the Hunger Curse.
So, it’s crucial for Banai to believe these things can’t be eaten.
As for the insect egg releasing a stench when cooked, it was really a trick by Duanmu Huai: while cutting the insect egg, he used his Blood Donation Blade instead of a kitchen knife. In fact, the insect egg had already rotted after being slashed by a blade soaked in Ghost Blood. Once heated, the sll was naturally overwhelming.
Food emphasizes color, aroma, and taste, with taste being the most important. Duanmu Huai didn’t believe that with Banai’s gourmand personality, she could eat such a foul-slling thing.
And indeed, Duanmu Huai was right.
Even Banai couldn’t accept the flavor.
Once Banai subconsciously categorized the insect eggs as inedible, they ceased to be food under the rules, eliminating the picky eating problem.
Strictly speaking, Duanmu Huai put on this show for Banai. After all, the others would never consider this edible.
But Banai wasn’t a normal person.
“Ah——–!!”
However, just then, a scream suddenly rang out from afar. Hearing the scream, Duanmu Huai and Banai in the kitchen froze, then quickly ran towards the direction of the sound. At the restroom door, they saw Teacher Gan Xia and Chitanda huddled together, trembling and pale, while the others stood around, looking everywhere.
“What happened? What happened?”
