It is indeed a bit expensive, but still manageable with some effort.

However, no matter how you look at it, Ho Tu couldn't help feeling unsatisfied with the value of the remaining minced meat.

Little Crab, what will happen if the value of minced meat becomes negative?

Suddenly, a thought popped into my mind.

"Become negative..." The River Crab hiccupped and scratched its own head. "It shouldn't be too bad."

A sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets came over. It was unclear what kind of mess He He, the River Crab classmate, had turned their home into. However, now Little Crab's tone became extremely panicked: "We mustn't end up with a negative number! Otherwise, the strategy will fail!"

"...Is this guy really the system? Why is he so unreliable?"

He Tu pressed his aching forehead and thought helplessly, "If only I had known earlier, I should have earned more Meatball Points and exchange them later."

"Ding—"

The mechanical voice of the system sounded once again.

A line of words appeared before my eyes: "Unfortunately, the host has made contact with a stranger x1 times, resulting in a deduction of flesh points x1."

And sure enough, her self-esteem was completely emptied, as if she was standing at the edge of a cliff, on the verge of collapsing.

No way...

What did he just do? Isn't it just a punch to that assassin, which could also be considered sexual harassment to some extent?

Exm?

Okay, Hetu at this moment, only wanted to give this damn universe's Anti-Pornography Team a middle finger.

Is this a joke with his life?

Looking at the dazzling 0 in the meat shop, Heto made up his mind to work hard from tomorrow.

For example, be an excellent member of the Anti-Pornography Brigade!" The passionate oath of the River Crabs suddenly made He Tu feel a bit sleepy, and gradually he grew so tired that he couldn't keep his eyelids open, and fell asleep.

No dreams were had that night.

That night, I slept soundly and comfortably. What annoyed me the most was that the maid insisted on helping me change my clothes.

Of course, He Tu would never admit it. Saying that I would die just by touching him is clearly trying to deceive others, but if it is indeed true!

The current value of ground meat is quite worrisome.

"Goddess...," the maid's eyes were brimming with tears, enough to fill a bowl of water.

"What's wrong?" He Tu rinsed his mouth while keeping an eye out for someone suddenly reaching out to touch him.

"No, nothing..." The maid concealed her words, surely wanting to say something, but He Tu had no desire to hear it.

By the way, what's there to eat for breakfast? Since entering this body yesterday, I haven't had a single grain of rice. To be honest, my stomach is feeling quite uncomfortable from hunger.

In just a few minutes, the table was filled with a multitude of dishes.

He Tu began to doubt whether this was really the Cold Palace. The table was full of rare delicacies, all of which were impossible to eat on a normal day.

The maidservant sniffled and teared up as she said, "How can you, Your Majesty, endure such hardship... The meals we had before were never so frugal."

After the leisurely sweeping away of remnants, He Tu wiped his mouth and said, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When entering the Cold Palace, one must abide by the rules of the Cold Palace."

Although it is the Cold Palace, the tranquility here is indeed quite pleasant.

After closing the door, He Tu instructed, "No one is allowed to enter. I want to rest for a while inside." Then, he took out the technique he had exchanged for with 9999 portions of minced meat. He began practicing it immediately.

Before she could do anything, she felt a warm sensation rising from her lower abdomen. Heto immediately tapped on the River Crab system. Today, the system was waving its eight large claws, and each claw held a walkie-talkie. Heto was a little worried that the system might have split personality disorder, so she hesitated to disturb him further.

It seems like the Universe Pornography Eradication Team is really busy, and Xiaoxie, my classmate, is also working hard.

Is this feeling the internal energy? I have practiced similar qigong exercises before to improve my physical fitness, but I have never experienced this kind of feeling.

Just as one cycle is about to come to an end, a strange sensation suddenly starts to envelop, causing one's breathing to gradually become rapid.

This cultivation technique... Something is definitely wrong with it!

The feeling in it is absolutely unspeakable. He Gu could only grit his teeth and walk to the side of the bronze mirror, using cold water to wake himself up.

The whole body became increasingly hot and dry, although the feeling of sweating profusely was refreshing, this strange sensation was...

"Dada, what's wrong with you?" A certain mentally split river crab finally finished all of its work at this time.

Looking at the anguish on their idol's face, they couldn't do anything to help. This feeling was truly devastating.

River Crab Classmate could only sniffle and cry, blaming the heavens and blaming the leaders.

"Little Crab," He Tu weakly spoke.

"Boss, I'm here, here, here."

"Are you going to speak or not?"

The love-deprived crab faced the wall and silently looked up at the sky, tears welling up in its eyes.

At this moment, there was no time to concern oneself with such matters. One had to strive to suppress this feeling and continue to do as instructed.

After everything was completed, it looked no different from a pile of mud.

Because this body usually doesn't have much physical activity, He Tu unexpectedly began to somewhat admire his own willpower.

As for that unspeakable feeling, he also managed to suppress it with great effort.

However, the last sentence of this book turned out to be...

"The best results are achieved when cultivating with one's beloved person."

Thinking of that lover who I still haven't made any progress in conquering, I suddenly feel utterly exhausted, more than just a little bit.

The river crab lay there as if it had no strength left, crying without any energy.

Ah, encountering such a sentimental and melancholic system, I really don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.

But in the next second, a deep and lingering sigh echoed in his mind from Hehe classmate: "Dada, I want to eat meat..."

The corners of He Tu's mouth twitched slightly. Sure enough, he shouldn't have felt sorry for such a person—no, such a crab.

"I want to eat ready-to-eat meat, fragrant and mouthwatering."

Ah, it's been a while since I last indulged in meat dishes ever since I got busy. My cravings for something meaty are driving me crazy.

Before, I used to be able to enjoy a bit of meat during crackdowns on pornography, but ever since I was exposed for embezzlement and bribery (taking someone's R18 book), I've been demoted to the lowest level of law enforcement personnel, and I haven't had the joy of eating meat again.

However, what River Crab (河蟹) didn't expect was that their host turned out to be the owner of that R18 book. It's worth mentioning that River Crab, back in the day, was extremely dedicated and had read all of their books. Which law enforcement officer could be as dedicated and professional as River Crab was!

Mini Theater:

River Crab: Who the fuck reported me, getting angry.

He Tu: Hmm?

River Crab: No no no no no, I want to thank the person who reported me, without them, how could I have had the chance to meet the great opportunity, the starry-eyed.
