I Hijacked The Timeline

Chapter 18: Reality Feedback – Energy Replenishment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When the darkness faded, Feng Qi returned to reality.

He reached out and pressed the switch on the bedside table. Light illuminated the room.

The two passage of words that appeared before he left the dream confused Feng Qi.

“Initial energy depleted? What does that mean?”

After a moment of silence, he decided to ignore what he couldn’t figure out.

After getting up, he could clearly feel that his physique had changed again. At the same time, a strong hunger surged in his heart, making him want to eat urgently.

Opening the fridge, he took some ingredients and went to the kitchen.

Compared to the canned food from the fridge, Feng Qi wanted to have something hot.

Star City Academy’s dormitories were fully equipped, and there were also conditions to provide him with the opportunity to perform as he pleased.

He skillfully cracked two eggs into a bowl and mixed the egg white and yolk with an egg beater. Then, he washed the tomatoes and cut them into pieces.

After setting a pan on the stove, he added put two spoonfuls of oil. When the oil was hot, he poured the beaten eggs in.

When the oil came into contact with the egg white, the fragrance brushed past the tip of his nose, and Feng Qi’s stomach protested.

He resisted his hunger and cut a pinch of onions before scattering them into the pan. When they were slightly hot, he poured in tomatoes and stir-fried them.

The fragrance grew stronger and stronger. When the juices had flowed out, Feng Qi habitually sprinkled salt and sugar and continued to stir-fry.

At this moment, the color of the egg fried rice had already changed. Every grain of rice was round and plump, covered in a transparent golden color.

Before attending Star City Number One High School, Feng Qi had always lived alone.

As his parents were members of a domain combat team, they were always away from home. Other than sending money home from time to time, they rarely contacted him, so he had learned how to rely on himself since he was young.

He was also very good at cooking.

He was not very particular about food, but he was especially serious about every dish that he personally cooked.

Looking at the rice in the pot, he finally added water and starch. When the liquid became thick, the golden tomato egg fried rice was ready.

Hungry, he immediately began to eat heartily. In a moment, he finished the pan of tomato egg fried rice.

After licking his lips in satisfaction, he was about to get up when a panel popped up in his mind.

[Energy is being replenished. Current energy: 0.02%]

The current percentage of energy points on the interface was slowly jumping. Every jump added 0.001%.

“Eating can replenish energy?”

Feng Qi suspected that the number that was jumping on the panel was related to the egg fried rice that was still digesting in his stomach.

What surprised him even more was that he could see the virtual interface that only appeared in the dream in the real world now.

The difference was that the virtual interface in the dream showed the physical attributes, while the virtual interface in reality marked the energy replenishment progress bar and numbers.

As for what would happen after the progress bar on the interface was filled, he had no idea.

There was no way to know the answer. Feng Qi returned to the bedroom.

For the time being, he decided to continue sleeping and go to the dream realm to learn a new cultivation technique. He would go to the library tomorrow morning and continue to deepen his knowledge in the aspect of cultivation technique research.

Since he had decided to show off, he could not lose his foundation. He had already planned his upcoming schedule.

After washing up, Feng Qi lay on the bed. His breathing gradually calmed down, and his expression gradually became peaceful.

The next morning, Feng Qi slowly woke up.

He rubbed his fluffy hair and was a little confused.

He slept very comfortably and did not feel tired at all when he woke up. However, the problem was that he did not enter the future world in the dream after falling asleep.

” Have I lost the ability to enter the dream?!”

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the energy replenishment progress bar that appeared in his mind last night.

“Do I need to replenish and fill up the energy bar to enter the dream?

“One meal only replenished 0.12% of my energy. I’ll have to eat a thousand meals to replenish 100% of my energy!”

“D*mn it!”

…

The sky was already bright. After getting up and washing up, Feng Qi headed straight for the academy canteen.

The egg fried rice from last night merely curbed his hunger but he was far from full. After waking up, he felt extremely hungry again.

The changes in his body reminded him of Mu Qing, who also had an astonishing appetite.

She was a Rune Transformer. The power she obtained came from domain creatures, causing her appetite to be astonishing. She could also absorb strength from food. The more she ate, the faster her strength would increase.

Although he did not have a shocking appetite like Mu Qing and could not obtain strength from food, he felt that he was very similar to Mu Qing in essence. He had also obtained abilities from a domain creature.

The difference was that he did not need to embed rune crystals in his body. The abilities he obtained from domain creatures would be enhanced by prefixes and titles.

With this thought, Feng Qi suddenly felt that he and Mu Qing seemed to be of the same kind, they were both monsters!

On the way to the academy’s cafeteria, Feng Qi was prepared to eat heartily and replenish his energy progress bar.

When he arrived at the cafeteria, there were already many students carrying trays shuttling through the food counter. The fragrance of all kinds of food floated over, and his stomach could not help but let out a “shout”.

He scanned his surroundings and locked his gaze on Mu Qing, who was sitting in the corner.

At this moment, her table was already filled with all kinds of food. Compared to the crowded other areas, her surroundings were especially empty. Clearly, no one was willing to come into contact with her.

After grabbing a tray, Feng Qi began to choose his breakfast.

Lava cheese egg tart, potato pancake with chives, banana crepe, steamed rice noodle rolls, fried dough sticks, bagged soy milk (one serving sweet and one serving savory), glutinous rice balls… He only stopped when the tray was completely filled.

“Young man, although the food is free, it’s shameful to waste it.” The cafeteria auntie looked at Feng Qi with a serious expression.

“You are right!”

Feng Qi grinned and grabbed another burger.

The restaurant auntie was speechless.

After picking up his food, he walked towards Mu Qing and placed his tray on the table where Mu Qing was. He turned and sat down.

Mu Qing, who was eating in large mouthfuls, immediately raised her head. When she realized that the person sitting in front of her was Feng Qi, while her expression was calm, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Feng Qi did not say anything. He picked up a rice ball and put some pickled vegetables on it. He picked up a fried dough stick, rolled them together, and took a big bite.

“Why are you sitting here?”

“Why can’t I sit here? Do you own the cafeteria? It’s so crowded elsewhere, but there are many empty seats here!” Feng Qi replied without looking up.

Hearing this, Mu Qing was stunned. She looked at Feng Qi, who was eating in large mouthfuls, and then ignored him.

Feng Qi’s appearance also attracted the attention of many students in the cafeteria. They were not surprised by Feng Qi’s appetite, but by the fact that Feng Qi was sitting in front of Mu Qing.

The students who knew Mu Qing well knew how terrifying she was.

Once, she lost control and almost killed a student on the spot. If not for a teacher passing by, that unlucky student would have been crippled for life even if he didn’t die.

This was also one of the reasons why no one was willing to come into contact with Mu Qing. This was because they might be killed by Mu Qing who has lost control at any moment.

In the eyes of many students, Feng Qi’s actions were completely courting death.

Feng Qi chose to ignore the surprised gazes around him.

A moment later, Mu Qing raised her head.

Looking at Feng Qi, who was still wolfing down the food, she had a surprised expression. The large amount of food she needed to eat was related to her special physique. Ordinary food would be digested quickly when it entered her stomach, causing her to often be in a hungry state.

However, Feng Qi was only an ordinary person. This appetite seemed a little ridiculous.

“What are you looking at… Eat up… The food won’t be good if it gets cold!”

Feng Qi, whose mouth was full of food, raised his head to look at Mu Qing. As he spoke, he grabbed the pork chop from Mu Qing’s plate and stuffed it into his mouth, not standing on ceremony at all.

“…”
