Wang Xi awoke from the vision.
He opened his eyes to a gloomy sky.
A light rain had begun to fall outside, pattering softly.
A curtain of rain slanted down, blurring the skyscrapers into lead-gray silhouettes on the glass. Droplets splattered, crawling in distorted paths down the floor-to-ceiling window.
He turned his head and glanced at the wall clock.
Amid the ticking, the hands pointed to two in the afternoon.
He had spent nearly two weeks in the Fairy Tale Otherworld, while two days had passed here in the Main World.
GRUMBLE—
His stomach growled. 'Damn, I'm hungry.'
"Why do people even have to eat?"
Wang Xi lamented.
He grudgingly spent a few hundred silver on a four-person meal from Temperamental Sweetheart. 'It's about time,' he thought, 'to put the "Cat Chef Training Program" on the agenda.'
'Other people's cats can cook pre-battle feasts with stat boosts. Surely Liuli can manage a simple meal of three dishes and a soup, right?'
