"I... really didn't!"

Qin Fang's face flushed with embarrassment, his stomach still felt like he hadn't eaten anything at all, remaining hungry.

"You... you really eat a lot! Go get another bowl, quick, quick..."

Tang Feifei was caught between laughter and tears; two large bowls of ramen had gone into Qin Fang's stomach, but he still claimed he wasn't full—what an appetite...

Surprising as it was, the fact that Qin Fang was still hungry was true, so naturally, she sent him off to continue eating.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Qin Fang immediately got up and scurried off to get more ramen. His movements became agile, and the discomfort in his body had completely vanished. He only felt full of energy, with the sole downside being—his stomach was still hungry.

Qin Fang's Ramen Making Skill Proficiency had already improved a lot, he was quite close to reaching Beginner Level max. He believed it would only be a few more days before he could level up.

Naturally, the speed at which he made ramen increased somewhat, and the quality of the noodles also improved. The regular customers who came by often would occasionally comment on this, and Qin Fang would just smile in response.

Another large bowl of freshly cooked ramen was brought over. The attributes were the same as before, with no difference, and by now, Qin's Life Points were full, and his physical strength had reached its optimal state.

Schluurrp~~

With a big slurp of the noodles, Qin Fang could clearly feel his empty stomach being immediately filled with food.

Qin Fang paused, but he didn't stop eating. He quickly finished the large bowl of ramen, and the feeling of fullness in his stomach gradually became clear.

"So that's how it is..."

This discovery surprised Qin Fang, but he also understood why he felt no sense of fullness after eating two large bowls of ramen. It turned out that the previous two bowls had been converted entirely to replenish his missing Life Points, only stopping once his Life Points were fully restored.

And now, he finally started feeling like he was truly eating...

"Qin Fang, do you think we can keep our stand going?"

Seeing Qin Fang eating his noodles, Tang Feifei spoke with some concern. The stand was a partnership between the two of them, their joint effort, and while Tang Feifei might not care about the money they made, it still seemed a pity to let a good business get disrupted.

"Keep it going, why not?"

Qin Fang said with conviction.

The noodle stand meant a lot to him. He would earn his tuition fees and living expenses from this business, and Qin Fang also wanted to save some money for his mother to use. With nearly a month at his disposal, he was not about to let the business falter just because of the trouble caused by these three hooligans, as that would be playing right into the hands of some other unscrupulous person.

Thinking this, Qin Fang's gaze couldn't help but drift toward Chen Pangzi's stall, and whether it was Chen Pangzi's guilty conscience or something else, their eyes met at the same moment. Chen immediately averted his gaze shadily, and in Qin's eyes, the red glow on Chen Pangzi had not entirely faded.

"Tang Feifei, don't you think there's something off about today's events?"

After hesitating for a while, Qin Fang still felt it necessary to give Tang Feifei a heads-up.

"Off? What do you mean?"

Tang Feifei was startled and asked in confusion, furrowing her brows in thought, but she couldn't figure out what could be amiss.

```

"Don't you think those three punks came here specifically to stir up trouble?" Qin Fang immediately began to lead the conversation in that direction.

"I've noticed that; they're clearly just jealous of our good business and came here to extort us!"

Tang Feifei nodded, anyone could see that, even Sister Pan had mentioned the bad things Mouse Qiang and his thugs had done while talking to her.

"Look, there are at least ten stalls here, so why don't they extort others and pick on us specifically? Think we're young and easy to bully?"

Qin Fang could not help but sneer, perhaps Mouse Qiang really was out to extort money, but choosing his place was obviously intentional.

If it was about extortion, especially with these kinds of mobile snack stalls, the local thugs usually picked on the weak, especially avoiding the uninformed youngsters who wouldn't dare stir up trouble, generally targeting the older vendors, as they tend to be easier to bully.

Yet, out of all the snack stalls in this place, Mouse Qiang went straight to extort money from his stall…

"Are you saying... someone hired them to come after us?"

Tang Feifei's ability to understand was indeed strong, and without Qin Fang having to spell it out, she had already guessed his suspicions. Following Qin Fang's line of thought and upon comparison, she immediately felt that things really seemed to be that way.

"Right, that's what I'm thinking…"

Qin Fang nodded, his gaze involuntarily shifting to Chen Pangzi, who was sneaking around making phone calls on the side, occasionally glancing over in Qin Fang's direction.

"So, who do you think would do this?"

Tang Feifei also noticed Qin Fang's look and followed his gaze, but unlike Qin Fang's targeted observation, she noticed at least six or seven stalls.

"We arrived here earliest, and our ramen is delicious, ours is the most popular business... With all the snack stalls around, when we do well, it inevitably impacts others' businesses to some extent."

Since Qin Fang suspected that Chen Pangzi was behind this, he naturally considered everything from that perspective.

There were many snack stalls here, selling ramen, soup noodles, fried rice, spicy hot pot, barbecue, and more; they generally offered a diverse menu so they could cover a wider market. However, Qin Fang kept it simple, offering just one type: ramen.

Master one move, and you can eat deliciously forever.

With just this one delicious ramen dish, Qin Fang attracted many customers who loved noodles, leading to a decline in business for other noodle vendors.

And Chen Pangzi's stall was the one primarily selling various kinds of soup noodles…

"Forget it, I'll handle this..."

But then Qin Fang thought it over and decided it was better not to drag Tang Feifei into this. If Chen Pangzi dared to play dirty tricks behind his back, Qin Fang was definitely not going to let him get away with it.

"Qin Fang, let's just drop it. Better not to stir things up," Tang Feifei said.

However, seeing the flash of fierceness in Qin Fang's eyes, Tang Feifei felt a slight shock in her heart, afraid that Qin Fang might do something impulsive, so she tried to appease him from the side.

If it really was one of the stalls here that got the thugs to cause trouble out of jealousy for their business, and now that Qin Fang had given the three thugs a good beating, they should probably behave from now on, and the matter could be dropped. After all, they were only going to keep the stall here until the school term started, which wasn't much time left.

Unfortunately, while it was very hot during the day yesterday, a heavy rain suddenly poured down in the evening. I caught a cold by accident. My head feels heavy and groggy, and my updates are not very stable, sorry!
