『 [ …Are you sure you want to choose that? ]
Seeing Stelle's choice, Dan Heng asked with some hesitation.
[ Don't question the master chef! ]
Stelle said with absolute confidence.
[ Alright… ]
Dan Heng nodded and added the chili sauce.
[ And with that, the banana pie is complete. Let me bake it real quick… ]
Chaletkaplaced the banana pie into the oven.
A moment later, the banana pie designed by Stelle was freshly baked.
[ Looks pretty good. Let me try it— ]
[ Mmm, sweet and sour, with a kind of natural fragrance… ]
[ Ah… what a delicious dessert. The more I eat, the more fragrant it gets. It's like I can't get full… ]
[ And… ugh! ]
[ ...And it's really spicy! What did you put in there!?]
After March 7th eagerly took a bite, the intoxicated expression on her face for a brief moment was quickly turned into a bright red, overheated state by the spiciness. 』
『 ....』

Paimon: "Eh??"
Paimon: "Looking at Miss March 7th's expression at the beginning, I really thought this banana pie was surprisingly delicious!"
Paimon: "As expected, this is ultimately a dark cuisine!"
Lumine: "No, no, no, it seems like if they hadn't added the chili sauce at the end, this would actually be quite delicious?"
Qingque: "But that 'never feeling full' hunger trait is really hard to cope with!"
Qingque: "I wasn't even hungry, but after eating this, I feel like I'm going to collapse from hunger immediately."
Qingque: "Just thinking about it is hilarious."
March 7th: "Curse you! How dare you prank me like this!"
Stelle: "I didn't!"
Stelle: "I was just researching a unique banana pie!"
Stelle: "Is this Spicy Emerald Hunger Pie not delicious?"
Silver Wolf: "Holy cow, you even came up with a name for it?"
Silver Wolf: "I suggest you open a shop!"
Li Sushang: "Would a shop like this really not go bankrupt?"
Guinaifen: "Don't say that, maybe this Spicy Emerald Hunger Pie would actually become a hit?"
Guinaifen: "First of all, spicy food lovers will definitely love it, novelty seekers will definitely love it, and those who want to challenge themselves will also definitely love it!"
Guinaifen: "If you do it like this, maybe it'll end up as an internet-famous delicacy?"
Stelle: "Good, good, good. When the time comes, I'll hire you guys as the spokespersons! (smirk.jpg)"

『 [ It's Jiaoqiu's secret therapeutic recipe! ]
Seeing March 7th looking so spiced out, Stelle hid to the side, snickering.
[ Why you...! Get over here— ]
March 7th grabbed the bad guy who was snickering next to her, pressed her hard onto the table, and then stuffed the remaining half of the uneaten banana pie, all into Stelle's mouth.
[ Ssshh!! ]
[ Spicy, so spicy… ]
Now it was Stelle's turn to overheat.
[ Serves you right! ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
March 7th: "Hahaha, nice!"
March 7th: "So satisfying!"
March 7th: "My successful revenge!"
Stelle: "Waaah, March, you're so brutal. How can you bully a one-year-old child!"
Jiaoqiu: "Ahem, I must come out and clarify a few things!"
Jiaoqiu: "There is no such bizarre dish in my secret therapeutic recipes!"
Feixiao: "Tsk, come on."
Feixiao: "Some of your dishes aren't much better than this spicy banana pie. (giggle.jpg)"
Lumine: "It seems this chili sauce is indeed very spicy, it even brought tears to Miss Stelle's eyes."
Xiangling: "Hehe, I really want to taste the texture of this chili sauce!"
Xiangling: "The burning taste is the most addictive!"
Xiangling: "I wonder how much difference there is in texture compared to chili sauce made from Jueyun Chilis?"
....
『 [ Haha, it seems classmate March 7th has a lot of feelings about your cooking. ]
[ To be able to personally make something touching is a very happy thing, whether it's making desserts or dreamweaving at the border… ]
Seeing this harmonious and interesting scene, Chaletka showed a smile.
[ So classmate Chaletka is a senior from the Dreamweaving Academy? ]
[ Me too, please guide me well in the future! ]
Hearing that she was a senior, March 7th was quite happy.
[ Gui… Guide? ]
[ I probably can't do it, better leave it to the Dreamweaving Design class… ]
Seeing March 7th's expectant expression, Chaletka murmured in a very quiet voice.
[ Huh? ]
March 7th didn't hear clearly what Chaletka was saying.
[ No, it's nothing… Classmates, please feel free to check out the other stalls if you have time. Hope you have fun. ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Stelle: "It seems March's senior is not very confident in her professional level!"
March 7th: "Maybe it's just because of social anxiety?"
March 7th: "Her desserts are so good, there's no reason for her to be bad at dream construction!"
Qingque: "What kind of logic is that??"
Qingque: "Is there any inevitable connection between dream construction and making desserts?"
Silver Wolf: "They are completely unrelated, no connection at all."
Silver Wolf: "But if this Dessert Club president got into the Dreamweaving Academy through the exam, her talent shouldn't be too bad."
Mualani: "Maybe she's just being modest."
Mualani: "Who knows, she might show off some amazing skills later!"
....
『 [ Look, it's a Slumbernana Monkey! ]
Leaving Chaletka's stall and continuing further in, March 7th immediately spotted a very eye-catching Slumbernana Monkey stall.
[ Welcome, welcome! Welcome to the Toys and Models Club! ]
[ Oh, it's you guys! ]
[ I'm Peelin' Richie from the group chat. You can call me Richie! ]
Seeing the three approach, Richie quickly greeted them warmly.
[ You know us? ]
Dan Heng was slightly puzzled, seeing Richie act so familiar.
[ Of course—the superstar of the festival, the Nameless, the shareholder of Penacony! ]
[ Don't underestimate the intelligence network of the Fortune Academy. Before you even stepped into the school gate, the gossip posts had already flooded the Paperfold Forum. ]
[ Since you VIPs have such prominent identities, you must also have unique spending tastes. Let me introduce you to the Toys and Models Club's bestseller — the Slumbernana Monkey Figurine! ]
[ Look at this gaze full of wisdom, the smooth and glossy fur, the lifelike expression. It is simply identical to a real Slumbernana Monkey! ]
Richie pointed at the Slumbernana Monkey on the stall and began to pitch it energetically.
[ Bananana! Bananana! ]
The Slumbernana Monkey cooperated perfectly, crying out in a banana-like fashion.
[ The toy talks? ]
Dan Heng was a bit surprised to hear the Slumbernana Monkey plushie make a sound.
[ This is the Dreamscape. A regular toy won't draw the eyes of the consumer, so Fortune BananAdvisor allowed me to add a little memoria to it. Look, isn't it as realistic as a Memory Zone Meme? ]
[ Well... I should let you know, there's only one left in stock, so act now and don't miss out! Only 8,800 Alfalfa credits! It's duty-free and has a six-month warranty. We also support payment with credits! ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
March 7th: "His sales pitch is so natural, is this a student of the Fortune Academy?"
Dori: "Hehe, at first glance, it looks like a school that suits me very well!"
Stelle: "8,800 Alfalfa credits?"
Stelle: "How many Credits is that equal to?"
Stelle: "Is it cheap or expensive?"
Stelle: "Also, there's only a half-year warranty?"
Stelle: "Can't you make it a full year?"
Hanabi: "This kind of shoddy toy is far worse than Sparkle-sama's dolls!"
Stelle: "So Director Hanabi, when are you going to mail me your doll?"
Hanabi: "Aren't you afraid my doll will go 'bang' and blow the Express into the sky?"
Pam: "No, absolutely not, pam!"
Pam: "No one is allowed to blow the Express into the sky!"
....
『 [ Too expensive, I want a discount. ]
Stelle began to bargain with Prosperity.
[ This is the lowest price, buddy. You can't even buy a meal in the Golden Hour with this amount of credits. ]
Richie showed a troubled expression.
[ Fine, then give me one. ]
Stelle, being wealthy and generous, bought one.
[ Great, thank you for your business! ]
[ This month's living expenses should be covered… ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Paimon: "Uh… this guy was saying just a moment ago that this small amount of money wasn't even enough for a single meal…"
Paimon: "But as soon as Miss Stelle finished paying, he muttered about this month's living expenses being covered?"
Stelle: "Not surprising."
Stelle: "Students of the Fortune Academy are probably all unscrupulous merchants."
Stelle: "Selling a toy for an astronomical price is also very reasonable."
March 7th: "You knew, and you still fell for it?"
March 7th: "Do you have too much money to burn?"
Stelle: "No, no, no, what is our identity now?"
Stelle: "Shareholders of Penacony!"
Stelle: "If we are still stingy when buying things, our image would probably instantly plummet on that Paperfold Forum he mentioned!"
Stelle: "By then, the looks we get in school will be filled with disdain!"
Stelle: "That would be a total nightmare!"
Silver Wolf: "Ha?"
Silver Wolf: "You actually care about other people's looks?"
Silver Wolf: "When you were rummaging through trash cans in broad daylight, I didn't see you paying so much attention to your image?"
Qingque: "Sigh, I think she was just too lazy to bargain!"
Qingque: "It's all excuses!"
Aventurine: "To rich people, time is actually more precious than money."
Aventurine: "And bargaining is clearly a waste of time!"
Lumine: "How nice, the speeches of rich people are indeed enviable…"
....
『 [ Hurry and give us the monkey already. ]
Seeing that Stelle had paid, March 7th was already eager to take the little monkey away.
[ Haha, the demand is too high right now. The ones on the stall are all pre-order samples. It'll take a while before the official delivery. ]
Richie shook his head, indicating there was no stock right now.
[ ? ]
[ Why didn't you say so earlier? ]
[ You cheat! ]
Hearing there was no stock, Stelle, who had just paid, immediately got anxious.
[ No, no, no! I wouldn't dare cheat you, buddy! ]
[ Pre-orders are essential to ensure demand is met. If I didn't do this, some buyers would be missing out. ]
[ Don't worry. Once the product leaves the warehouse, I'll contact you... No, I'll personally deliver it to you! ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Stelle: "Damn! This dead unscrupulous merchant!"
Stelle: "Why didn't you say so earlier about the pre-order!"
Stelle: "You only said it after I paid, absolutely detestable!"
Qingque: "Hilarious, this time you really became a sucker."
March 7th: "Is this hunger marketing?"
March 7th: "Alas, the students of the Fortune Academy really have a whole set of tricks…"
Boothill: "Sister, pull out your bat. Do you believe he can get the goods delivered to you right now?"
Stelle: "Forget it, forget it, fighting and killing on campus is not good."
Stelle: "If people see it, they might think I'm in some kind of mafia."
Stelle: "And this guy is willing to deliver it to the door, his attitude is passable."
Stelle: "I'll spare him this time!"
....
『 [ Sigh, forget it, let's check out other stalls. ]
March 7th shook her head helplessly, leading the two to continue browsing other stalls.
[ Hmm? Why is a group of people blocking the road… ]
[ Hey, classmate, can you let us through— ]
March 7th looked at the people blocking the road in front of her and tried to negotiate with them.
[ Wait, don't go over there yet. The Disciplinary Committee is searching for students who violated school rules. ]
[ Huh? Why aren't you guys wearing school uniforms! ]
[ Points deducted! ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Stelle: "Holy cow!"
Stelle: "A mere Disciplinary Committee dares to control me??"
Stelle: "SIMPLY AUDACIOUS!!"
Silver Wolf: "Show your bat and let them know how powerful you are!"
March 7th: "Hey, we are students now, not some playboys."
March 7th: "It's only right to follow school rules at school, right?"
Dan Heng: "Unfortunately, the school did not issue us uniforms."
Hu Tao: "Maybe because you are freshmen who just entered, so they didn't have time?"
....
『 [ But I'm a freshman, can you give me one? ]
Stelle said to the person from the Disciplinary Committee.
[ School uniforms are not free, go buy them at the staff office yourself! ]
This classmate from the Disciplinary Committee had a very bad attitude.
[ Wait, Chief, I've seen them on the Paperfold Forum. They are the Penacony shareholders who came to visit… ]
The lackey nearby, seeing his chief's attitude, quickly and carefully reminded him.
[ Wh-What, Penacony shareholders?! ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Qingque: "It's coming, it's coming again!"
Qingque: "Next, let's appreciate this Disciplinary Committee Chief's split-second face-changing act!"
Asta: "How come these school officers are less informed than ordinary students?"
Paimon: "Hmph, at first glance, he's just used to throwing his weight around. He never expected such big figures to come to school!"
Paimon: "Now he kicked a steel plate, right?"
Stelle: "Damn, we have to buy the school uniform ourselves?"
Stelle: "What a great Penacony University atmosphere!"
March 7th: "The problem is, if you don't buy and wear it, you get points deducted…"
Dan Heng: "Shouldn't this be included in the tuition fee?"
Stelle: "Uh… speaking of which, did we pay tuition?"
March 7th: "Ah… probably not?"
....
『 At this moment, Stelle smirked with a crooked mouth at just the right time!
That evil and wild smile exclusive to big bosses immediately scared these two Disciplinary Committee students into trembling!
[ Ahem… My friends, I was just kidding earlier. ]
[ Please, you three can go wherever you like. If the booths up ahead aren't enough, why don't you come visit my dorm? Or my home! ]
The Disciplinary Committee Chief instantly changed to a bootlicking face, it was as flattering as could be.
[ This one's attitude changed faster than the people you use Clockwork on... ]
March 7th shook her head, expressing her speechlessness. 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Paimon: "This face changed so fast I didn't even react…"
Paimon: "Is this what it feels like to be a big boss?"
Paimon: "It's simply too wonderful…"
Guinaifen: "Look at how this guy is trembling, it's hard for him to even speak clearly."
Li Sushang: "Did anyone notice the smile Stelle just showed?"
Li Sushang: "Too exaggerated!"
Li Sushang: "That mouth is almost crooked to the sky!"
Lingsha: "Pfft, it indeed looks a bit like a stroke patient."
Silver Wolf: "I get it, this is an internet meme, the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King, right?"
Qingque: "Ha, it should be the Crooked-Mouthed Stellaron Hunter!"
