Xue Jing stepped out of the cafeteria, pondering:
"This way of eating forcefully is no solution; the nutritional value of these ordinary medicated dishes is too low for me now. It's like a ferocious beast eating grass. Although it can satisfy the hunger momentarily, it's not a sustainable strategy."
"The Yellow Grannie Skill contains records on how to make accompanying secret medicines. I need to go through the dojo's channels to find an Intersecting Boundaries company and purchase a batch of medicinal ingredients..."
"I must conquer this aspect of nutrition!"

A man, exceedingly tall and wearing a black trench coat that enveloped his entire body, stood in front of two beds resembling surgical tables.
The man was bald, with six button-like objects embedded on top of his head, resembling scars from a Buddhist sect. Below the corners of his eyes was a black mask that covered most of his face, not worn but sewn into the skin with fine stitches.
