After digesting part of their meal, the kids began bouncing around again. Song Yiran took Xiao Zhong’er and his younger brothers for a stroll along the commercial street.

The street was lively, with many alien tourists wandering around.

Eventually, the kids gathered in front of a street food stall.

This stall sold roasted chicken legs, golden and crispy, sending out a tantalizing aroma that awakened the kids’ appetites.

Xiao Zhong’er’s mouth watered uncontrollably. He flew over eagerly to ask the young elven stall owner about the price.

The owner, a teenage elf who looked like a student exercising during vacation, smiled: “One chicken leg is 5 credit points. Two together? 10 credit points.”

Xiao Zhong’er did the math in his head. Excluding the two eggs in the warming box, there were ten kids and one Tong. If each had one chicken leg, that’s 11 legs.

Buying two at a time costs 10 points, so they could buy in five rounds: two each for the first five rounds, one for the last. Total: 55 credit points.

Xiao Zhong’er generously offered to buy each kid a chicken leg.

“Boss, I want 11 chicken legs, buying two at a time in five rounds, total 50 points, and one extra for the last round—55 points total, right?”

He proudly presented what he thought was the most cost-effective plan.

Song Yiran clenched a fist and held it to his lips, trying to suppress a smile—what kind of buying plan is this?

He chuckled softly and whispered to Xiao Zhong’er: “You can tell the boss you’re buying a lot. Usually, they’ll give a discount.”

Xiao Zhong’er blushed, noticing not only Song Yiran but also the stall owner and even Song Yutu were laughing.

Ahhh! So embarrassing!

His round little face turned bright red. Clearing his throat, he tried again: “Uh, boss… I didn’t do well before. I’ll say it again.”

The owner smiled and cooperatively said: “Okay, say it again!”

Xiao Zhong’er regained confidence: “Boss, I want 11 chicken legs. I’m buying so many at once—could you give me a little discount?”

The owner, trying to hold back laughter, couldn’t stop: “Pfft… okay… hahahaha! Sorry! I’ll give you a discount! Hahaha…”

She laughed so hard she squatted, holding her stomach, her wings trembling in the air with every laugh.

Xiao Zhong’er went from initial embarrassment to numb resignation.

Laugh all you want, just sell me the chicken legs.

Xiao Zhong’er felt that right now, only a crispy, golden roasted chicken leg could soothe his wounded little heart.

After laughing enough, the vendor finally stood up slowly from the ground.

“Sorry, I just… got a little carried away just now. To make up for it, I’ll give you an extra chicken leg!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhong’er immediately felt revitalized. Yes! Another free chicken leg!

The vendor skillfully packed twelve chicken legs for them and even gave Xiao Zhong’er a 30% discount.

Xiao Zhong’er was in an excellent mood now! Happily, he handed one chicken leg to each of them, then grabbed the remaining two for himself.

A chicken leg in his left hand, a chicken leg in his right, he was delighted!

The little ones all thanked him: “Thank you, Brother Five!”

Song Yutu also munched on his chicken leg while thanking him: “Thanks!”

“Thank you, Xiao Zhong’er!” Song Yiran smiled warmly at him.

Xiao Zhong’er felt a bit shy. He instinctively wanted to scratch his head with his short little hands, but then he remembered that both hands were holding chicken legs.

He took a bite of his chicken leg and mumbled indistinctly: “Um… bu yong gan wo ke qi!”

Song Xiuhu immediately raised his paw, volunteering as Xiao Zhong’er’s translator: “I got it! Brother Five means: ‘No need to be polite!’”

Xiao Zhong’er nodded vigorously. That’s right! That’s exactly what he meant!

Song Yinyun tilted his head: “Brother, why did you just call Brother Five ‘Xiao Zhong’er’? Isn’t Brother Five called 555?”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhong’er froze completely, and even Song Yiran faltered for a moment.

Song Yiran groaned, placing a hand on his forehead—he had just spoken without thinking, letting it slip out.

Fortunately, reliable Song Yutu stepped in.

He put on a serious face and said, “That’s 555’s childhood name. Childhood names are only used by peers or elders.

“You usually call each other by childhood names too, right? Like An’an, Yangyang, Lili, Huhu—those are all childhood names.

“Brother and 555 are of the same generation, so they can use his childhood name. We are junior to 555, so we call him Brother Five.”

The little ones believed Song Yutu completely. They nodded repeatedly: “Oh, so that’s how it is~”

Crisis averted, Xiao Zhong’er secretly sent Song Yutu a grateful look.

Song Yutu smiled slightly, then lowered his head to continue munching on his chicken leg.

The chicken legs were delicious, and everyone praised them.

Especially Xiao Zhong’er. After finishing two chicken legs, he still felt unsatisfied. So he flew back to the vendor and bought twenty more roasted chicken legs in one go.

Then, in front of everyone, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed all twenty chicken legs at once, then began chewing—without even spitting out the bones.

Everyone was dumbfounded by Xiao Zhong’er’s gluttonous display.

Song Yutu glanced at Song Yiran with raised eyebrows, silently asking: Brother, is he always this fierce when he eats?

Song Yiran was also stunned; this was the first time he had seen Xiao Zhong’er like this.

He looked back at Song Yutu, signaling with his eyes: I don’t know either; it’s my first time seeing him like this.

The little ones were completely amazed, watching Xiao Zhong’er eat twenty chicken legs at once, their mouths forming perfect “O” shapes.

Even so, all those chicken legs didn’t fill Xiao Zhong’er’s stomach. He smacked his lips and bought every single roasted chicken leg remaining at the stall.

The vendor’s work for the day was done; she could pack up and go home, but she stayed to watch Xiao Zhong’er eat.

There were still 400 roasted chicken legs left on the stall. Without blinking, Xiao Zhong’er opened his mouth wide and swallowed them all in one go.

Song Yiran was completely dumbfounded. Was this even possible? Xiao Zhong’er wasn’t that big, and his mouth wasn’t huge—how could he possibly fit all those chicken legs inside?

No matter how shocked Song Yiran felt, Xiao Zhong’er had already started chewing. His cheeks were puffed out by the food, making his face look rounder and rounder.

Finally, all 400 roasted chicken legs were gone, leaving not a single scrap.

Only then did Xiao Zhong’er feel satisfied. He lazily patted his round belly with his short little hands, then spun happily in the air.

At this moment, he noticed something strange: why was everyone staring at him? He had only eaten some chicken legs—why was everyone watching?

Xiao Zhong’er felt a little puzzled. Reviewing his recent memory, his whole body turned stiff with embarrassment.

How could this be… his eating manners were so rough just now.

He had eaten like a wild beast that had lost its mind… how humiliating…

Song Yiran comforted him: “Being able to eat is a blessing! Having a good appetite is a wonderful thing!”

After speaking, he gave Song Yutu a look, signaling him to join in comforting Xiao Zhong’er.

Song Yutu understood and earnestly said: “Exactly! Having a good appetite is great! I envy your appetite!”

The little ones didn’t quite understand why Xiao Zhong’er seemed unhappy, so they each comforted him in their own ways.

Song Buli sincerely said: “Brother Five, you’re amazing! You can eat so much in one go!”

Song Xiuhu quickly echoed: “Yes, yes! You’re amazing!”

Song Yuexin nodded along: “Exactly, we couldn’t eat that much. You’re incredible!”

Song Fu admired: “You eat so fast, I’m so envious of you!”

Song Yang brainlessly praised: “You can swallow so many chicken legs at once, you’re awesome!”

Song Chiyu seriously said: “Your body is about the same size as ours, but your mouth can open so wide! That’s amazing—we can’t do it!”

Song Xianyue looked on in admiration: “Brother Five, your mouth can open that wide! Do you have a secret? Can you teach me? I’m so envious!”

Song Yinyun’s eyes were full of admiration: “You’re so cool! You can eat so much in one go, and you don’t even need to spit out the bones!”

If adults had said these things, it might have sounded sarcastic.

But these little ones weren’t yet bound by social rules; they didn’t think rough eating manners were a big deal. To them, Xiao Zhong’er accomplishing this was truly impressive!

Their praise was genuine.

Encouraged by all these compliments, Xiao Zhong’er regained his confidence. Hehehe, everyone was right—he really was amazing!

He could eat 400 chicken legs in one go! Who else could do that?

Exactly—he was the best!

After wandering the street a bit more, Song Yiran spotted a clothing store. He quickly noticed that the shop seemed to have clothes suitable for beast-shaped kids!

Song Yiran immediately led everyone to the store. Sure enough, the shop had many outfits for beast-shaped individuals.

The clothes came in various styles: cloaks, overalls, jumpsuits, shirts, pants, robes, skirts, pumpkin pants, and more.

These weren’t just normal human clothes—they had versions for beast-shaped individuals.

Song Yiran smiled at the kids: “Everyone, look around and see if you like anything! I’ll buy you new clothes!”

“Yay! Thank you, Brother~” The little ones were ecstatic, scattering around the store to pick their favorite clothes.

Song Yiran turned to Xiao Zhong’er and Song Yutu: “You two, see if there’s anything you like too. Money’s no object—if you like it, it’s yours!”
