Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 368 Pleasant Chat with the Commander (2)

Commander Chen warmly greeted Ye Nai, his face full of a kind smile. He first extended his hand, picked up a large spoon, and scooped a big chunk of the aromatic braised pork, complete with sauce and meat, into Ye Nai’s bowl.

The piece of pork had a bright red color, with a rich sauce exuding an enticing aroma.

Ye Nai looked at the glistening braised pork, instantly drooling, eagerly picked up her chopsticks and stabbed at the middle of the meat, first taking a big bite from the skin part.

"Mmm~ So fragrant~ It’s been a long time since I’ve had authentic braised pork~" she sighed contently, nodding as she ate.

The braised pork was cooked to perfection; though it seemed like a large piece with skin and meat, there wasn’t much fat inside. A bite didn’t feel greasy; instead, a rich, sweet meat aroma spread in her mouth, tasting better with each chew, endlessly delightful.

Absolutely delicious~

This mouthful of meat was pure bliss.

This doesn’t mean the meal at True Dragon Gully at noon was bad; just being able to suddenly appear and have a meal was good enough—could it be compared to a private meal at the command center?

No comparison, no comparison, so she focused on eating.

Life’s worth living, to have eaten from the command center’s private kitchen.

She had spent a month on Blue Star wandering the Otherworld; although she occasionally returned to Blue Star via the Transmission Platform, most of the time she was in the Otherworld—one month here was over four years there.

At first, she didn’t eat any food from the Otherworld, but now as long as it’s not poisonous, there’s nothing she won’t eat. She ate whatever the Otherworldly people ate. It had been a long time since she had such authentic braised pork.

"You’ve been wandering in the Otherworld all this time? How long has it been?"

"A month here, over four years there. The supplies I took at departure are almost exhausted, so I had to replenish locally; I eat whatever the Otherworldly people eat. I even have a knack for it—knowing where to find tasty things. I think after the war, I could become a food blogger for the Otherworld."

Ye Nai said, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for the future and a sense of appreciation for her unique experience.

"Hahaha, that’s great, that’s great. Let’s exchange numbers later; if you ever post videos, I’ll definitely give you three likes."

Commander Chen was amused by Ye Nai’s words, expressing his support for her idea.

While busily eating meat, Ye Nai immediately gave the Commander a thumbs-up, a joyful smile on her face.

"Over four years in the Otherworld, just wandering there, didn’t come back at all?"

"I did come back, just didn’t return to my country. In the Otherworld, I mainly focused on gathering resources, randomly transmitting with the platform. Running around like this, I might come across a Cross-border Transmission Platform that takes me to some corner of Blue Star; so, I’ve set foot on most continents here. It’s a pity, countries written in history books are gone—either taken over by enemy states or divided into tribes by surviving natives. We not only fight enemies but also intertribal conflicts, like primitive savage society. Old people who knew the pre-war situation have all died; everywhere is isolated, clueless about what’s happening elsewhere. When they saw me, they even thought I was an easy mark, waving machetes found from who-knows-where, ready to rob me."

Swallowing the meat, Ye Nai wiped the oil from her mouth with a napkin, exuding a strong confidence and familiarity with both worlds in her words.

"Oh?!"

The eyes of the Commander and the staff officer lit up; they were already psychologically prepared for Blue Star’s dire situation. After all, countless teams have been sent over the years to explore the current state. The news from returning teams was never optimistic.

Instead, at this moment, they found Ye Nai’s experiences in the Otherworld more intriguing, hoping she’d share more stories.

However, Ye Nai started playing coy, stopping her tales.

"Commander, what do you think, when I return to Daijing, can I exchange these pieces of information for points?"

"You can, definitely. If they don’t give you any, let me know, and I’ll scold them," Commander Chen replied without hesitation, his tone full of affirmation and support for Ye Nai.

The staff officer added a timely comment, "And for those Military Fortresses and oilfields, we’ve already submitted your battle achievements. Once you return, everything will be settled there. Originally, the enemy slaying task at the border was settled here, but you have such a high enemy count, plus the later achievements, handling it in Daijing would be better."

"Okay, okay."

Ye Nai laughed happily; she worked so hard just to earn more points and level up.

"Commander, the Otherworld’s environment is really complex, with many terrains and creatures we’ve never seen before."

Ye Nai shared her experiences with the Commander while eating.

"The Otherworld’s road development is poor, but their Transmission Platform technology is excellent. They have a specialized adventurer association which sets up transmission platforms in various dangerous places to send people over, then buys the needed resources from those who return. I’ve been there too; it’s risky, truly risky, but I also discovered interesting things."

Ye Nai took another bite of rice and continued speaking.

"For instance, there is a place where fruits are particularly sweet, but they only grow in harsh environments, available only in specific seasons and locations, quite expensive—a luxury for the wealthy, ordinary folks don’t even know such a thing exists."

Ye Nai said, suddenly putting a bag of stocked goods on the table with a thump.

"This contains those fruits. I think agricultural scientists would be interested. We could store a batch yearly; in the meantime, treat them as snacks. This bag can be our after-meal fruit."

"Great, great, let’s taste Otherworldly fruits," the Commander nodded with interest.

The staff officer curiously examined the fruit’s packaging.

"This packaging looks like big leaves; are they real leaves?"

"They are real leaves—from a kind of large leaf called cloth bag leaves native to the Otherworld. Tie a few leaves together and trim the edges to make a simple container. However, the leaves and fruit are from different places, so don’t mix them up."

"Haha, good~"

The Commander and staff officer laughed heartily; without being told, they might have initially assumed they came from the same place.

Ye Nai smiled as she further explained.

"They’re said to be disposable, but as long as they don’t break or rot, they can last several days. When they go bad, just toss them and make a new one with fresh leaves."

The Commander and staff officer curiously examined the cloth bag leaves and their contents on the table. Seeing this, Ye Nai kindly moved the items within their reach, making it easier for them to touch and inspect.

The fruits are a type of berry, roughly the size of a kiwi, covered with a layer of fine fuzz that doesn’t prick the hand.

The staff officer picked one up, gently squeezing it in his palm; the skin felt quite firm, not easy to crush, and observing its functional appearance, he thoughtfully commented.
