Chapter Sixteen: The Skinniest Chubby and the Normal Chubby

  The little guy was crawling all over Zhang Feng's shoulders, and finally grabbed onto his clothes and climbed onto his hand. A pair of small paws kept tapping on the storage ring, looking pitifully at Zhang Feng.

  "What are you going to do? Are you going to put me in there too?" Zhang Feng was a bit puzzled, earlier he had tried it out and pets could indeed enter the storage ring. However, the little guy was very unwilling to be put inside.

  Like an angel, she has her own virtual world, usually hiding in it and only coming out when called.

  "Rustle." The little guy waved his pliers, constantly grasping the ring, and then sent a picture to Zhang Feng, which was the appearance of destroying book pages.

  "Really? You want to hold it?" Zhang Feng hesitated for a moment, smiled and took out the pages from his ring to hand them over to the little guy.

  The little guy suddenly jumped up, and the small clip grasped the page and waved it non-stop, with an excited and agitated expression.

  The black air on the black paper was still being absorbed into the little guy's body.

  The little guy clutched the book page tightly and wouldn't let go.

  "Alright, you can hold on to it then. Since you like holding onto book pages so much, I'll just call you Xiao Hei from now on." Zhang Feng saw that the little guy was still absorbing the dark energy and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He found a small pouch in his ring and put the little guy and the book page together inside it, then placed it in his bosom.

  The little guy happily shouted a few times in his bag.

  The Book of Destruction can make Xiao Hei hatch in advance. Zhang Feng thinks that the newly hatched Xiao Hei must not be fully formed yet, and if it is nourished by the black energy on the book pages, it may allow Xiao Hei's abilities to increase again, or maybe not.

  Let Xiao Hei go, Zhang Feng continued to penetrate deeper.

  Unfortunately for Zhang Feng, there was nothing in the stone cave at the end of the passage. Instead, a scattering of broken eggshells on the ground told him that he had arrived too late.

  This is probably another egg, which has already hatched.

  Zhang Feng searched around and didn't find anything valuable, so he let out a disappointed sigh and was about to leave.

  "Save me, save me." At this time, a faint voice came out from a crack in the stone cave.

  "Who?" Zhang Feng followed the sound and looked over, seeing a bony hand stretching out from a gap, with dry skin stuck to the bones, like a zombie.

  Zhang Feng's scalp felt a chill, and he forced himself to open the crack. Inside, leaning against the stone wall, was a skull with more air escaping than entering.

  No, or rather a thin person with only skin and bones left.

  "Zhang, Zhang Feng, save me." The skeleton spoke up, its mouth almost scaring Zhang Feng to death.

  The skull rack opened its mouth, and it was no different from a fake corpse.

  Even if Zhang Feng had seen many dead people during this period of time, it was still no match for the fake resurrection.

  Especially this skeleton frame still recognizes him.

  "Y-you're... who are you?"

  Zhang Feng really wanted to add another sentence, I'm not afraid of ghosts, but felt that this was not the time for jokes.

  "I, I am small, little fatty." The skeleton frame spoke with a stuttering voice.

  "Are you Little Fatty? Are you really Little Fatty?" Zhang Feng thought he had misheard.

  Xiao Pang is his university classmate, named Lü Wei. However, because of his height of nearly 1.8 meters and being a fat guy, everyone simply gave him the nickname Xiao Pang. This kid has an IQ of 145 and is a member of Mensa International.

  Xiao Pang is indeed thick eyebrows and big eyes, really wide body and fat. Even at the thinnest time, he weighed 180 pounds, when did he become so thin?

  "Give me some food." Little Fatty raised his hand.

  Zhang Feng thought for a moment, took out a bottle of water and a loaf of bread from his ring, intending to hand them over to Xiao Pang. However, thinking that Xiao Pang might not have the energy either, he slowly fed him water and bread instead.

  Xiao Pang ate two mouthfuls and regained some strength. He snatched the water and bread, and in three or four mouthfuls, he finished everything.

  Then something miraculous happened.

  The skin on the skeleton's face slowly puffed up a bit, and Xiao Pang's eyes had some spirit, staring at Zhang Feng and swallowing his saliva: "Haven't eaten yet? Anything is fine, give me more, damn it, I'm starving to death."

  Xiao Pang's expression was too terrifying, like a starving beast with eager eyes, as if he would even devour humans.

  "There is. But it's meat, in your current state, I'm afraid your stomach can't handle it?" Zhang Feng knew that people who hadn't eaten for a long time could only start with some liquid food to gradually adapt their stomachs.

  For someone like Xiao Pang, eating a piece of bread and drinking a bottle of water is actually quite good.

  "It's okay, it's okay, give it to me quickly." Little Fatty stretched out his hand, as if he would snatch it from you if you didn't give it to him.

  Zhang Feng hesitated for a moment, then took out a piece of fatty meat.

  Xiao Pang's eyes lit up, and he snatched the meat over, tearing at it with big bites, swallowing it down without even chewing a few mouthfuls.

  Miracles happen again.

  Xiao Pang's skin has actually puffed up some more, and this time Zhang Feng can even see that Xiao Pang's skin has a bit of luster.

  "More, more." Xiao Pang licked his fingers hard, his eyes shining with blue light as he said: "Zhang Feng, hurry up and give me something to eat. As long as it's edible, I can digest anything."

  "Tell me, after the world changed, what changes did you undergo? For example, did you gain some kind of talent, or was there a strange transformation in your body?" Zhang Feng slightly furrowed his brow, feeling that this change had already exceeded common sense, and probably something special had happened to Xiao Pang's body.

  "Have you also obtained a talent?" Xiao Pang's IQ reached 145, and Zhang Feng immediately understood after asking, nodding: "It seems that the talent I obtained is different from yours. The talent I obtained is Fusion Reforging."

  "But the change in you doesn't seem to have anything to do with this, right?" Zhang Feng pointed at Xiaopang's slightly plumper body, which was still similar to a skeleton, but at least stronger than before. If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't change so quickly.

  "Ah, it's just this damn relationship. Fusion Rebirth requires energy, and that energy is actually fat, damn it! I can burn fat to complete the fusion rebirth, and when I don't eat, in order to survive, I use fusion rebirth to burn fat, decompose it into some energy to sustain life. That's why I've become so thin. Similarly, I can also quickly recover my body through massive eating. Zhang Feng, rest assured, I'm not ready to die yet, I understand that normal people can't eat too much in this situation, I have confidence."

  Zhang Feng hesitated for a moment, feeling that Xiao Pang didn't seem to be lying, so he took out two large pieces of meat, weighing at least one catty.

  Xiao Pang is a big eater and can finish half a catty with just a few bites.

  But Xiao Pang's body was like a bottomless pit, and no matter how much food he ate, it couldn't fill him up.

  As he ate more and more, Xiao Pang gradually regained some of his human appearance, his flesh and blood slowly becoming plumper, and his cheeks turning rosy.

  Until he had eaten his way back up to around 180 pounds, Xiao Pang finally stopped and looked at Zhang Feng, then looked at himself, and suddenly burst into tears, embracing Zhang Feng tightly.

  "Ugh, I thought I was a goner for sure. Zhang Feng, thanks, I owe you one. Damn it, those bastards, when the bugs charged in, they actually abandoned me to save their own skins. I'll get them back, if I hadn't used my wits to escape, I'd be bug food by now."

  "Alright, stop crying, since we're alive it's for the best." Zhang Feng comforted Xiao Pang, then looked at the time and said: "Let's hurry up and go, it's almost dark."

  "Uh, let's go. This place is haunted, I don't want to stay here anymore." Xiao Pang wiped away his tears and said: "Zhang Feng, from now on, wherever you go, I'll follow you. You can ask me to do anything. Just, just, I never want to be hungry again."

  Zhang Feng smiled and understood Xiao Pang's feelings.

  He's managed to survive with this kind of temperament, it's truly a miracle.

  Zhang Feng inquired about Xiao Pang's experience and only then did he learn that when the bugs invaded, Xiao Pang was kicked out by several classmates as a shield.

  But Xiaopang survived, however when he came out of his hiding place, he found that all around him were insects and there was no way to escape.

  Then Xiaopang grabbed two bags of instant noodles and hid in the basement, plus the lights in the basement never went out, which supported him from collapsing in the darkness.

  But this hiding was almost a month, and in the middle, Xiaopang also went out several times to find food, but was almost caught by insects. So later on, Xiaopang didn't dare go out again.

  He was so hungry he didn't look human anymore. Just yesterday, a sudden earthquake ripped open the school and he fell through the crack.

  Until Zhang Feng appeared and saved him.

  "What was originally in this cave?" Zhang Feng pointed at a pile of eggshells and asked: "Do you see what these things are?"

  Xiao Pang nodded and said: "I saw it. It's a fifteen-meter-long centipede."

  Xiao Pang's face turned pale, and he trembled with fear, saying: "I saw this giant centipede come out and devour hundreds of people-sized insects in one bite, then ran away. Ah, right, let's hurry up and run, this centipede seems to have gone out to hunt for food, I estimate it will be back soon."

  "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

  Zhang Feng pulled Xiao Pang up and the two of them rushed straight towards the cave entrance.
