“Even if it was the eldest sister’s fault this time, it’s fair that we should take turns stacking the tower,” Fu Lilian said seriously.

"This time I'm at the top, next time I'll be at the bottom, and then it'll be in order, then it'll be my second sister, and finally my eldest sister."

"Does Third Sister have any special suggestions regarding their fair proposal?"

As soon as Fu Lilian finished speaking, both Alicia and Xilian turned their gazes to her.

In particular, she also understood the meaning in her older sister Alicia's eyes.

If you dare refuse, I'll teach you a lesson right now, Airi!

The pink-clad, chubby lady felt a chill run down her spine when she met Alicia's smiling gaze.

At this moment, she also recalled that she seemed to be the one who suggested the game of stacking things high.

Not only that, but the suggestion to put the eldest sister at the top was also made by her alone.

Thinking of this, the pink-haired fat lady swallowed hard.

Oh dear, this time Ellie is in trouble again because of that mean older sister!

Chapter 178 The Powerful Master Qian

Because Chef Qian, who loves cooking, went on a long trip.

The five of them—Mebius, Gretchen, and Alicia—who originally stayed at home, ordered takeout every day.

Afterwards, Alicia and the other two left as well. Mebius and Gretchen, who stayed at home, didn't even order takeout and just took instant noodles from Kevin's room to eat.

It has to be said that Kevin is really fond of instant noodles. Apart from the basic living furniture, the room is filled with boxes of different flavors of instant noodles in different areas.

Although Gretchen slightly protested that Mebius was taking Kevin's treasured instant noodles every day, feeling that it was wrong to secretly take other people's things.

But she's not the type to order takeout, because when you're hungry, you don't have much energy to focus on drawing.

Therefore, no matter how conflicted Gretchen was, she could only watch silently as Mebius would go into Kevin's room at mealtimes, take out two buckets of instant noodles, and then give one to her.

As for Zhenzhu, she is an intelligent mechanical life form, so not eating will not have any effect on her.

Half a month passed like this until Kevin and Mei returned, and still no one in the family knew how to cook.

Kevin can cook a little, but only a little, barely enough to be swallowed.

Kevin had tried cooking once before, but received unanimous negative reviews, so he never wanted to cook again.

As for Mebius and Mei?

Neither of them had any cooking skills whatsoever. When Mebius cooked, it was like a biological experiment. Even Kevin didn't dare to eat Mebius's cooking, because who knew what strange drugs she would add to it.

Mei isn't cut out for cooking either; her culinary skills are comparable to Thor's from next door.

After Kevin and Mei became a couple, Kevin ate a meal cooked by Mei once. He fainted after just one bite and was hospitalized for an hour. He was later hospitalized due to food poisoning.

This is because, like Mebius, Mei is always bursting with inspiration while cooking, and even though she knows it's wrong, she just can't control herself.

Therefore, among all the cooks in the entire Fire Chaser group, only Master Qian's cooking skills are the most reliable.

After all, although Master Qian has an eccentric personality, his cooking skills are indeed top-notch. Apart from putting a lot of chili peppers in every dish he cooks, he has no other shortcomings.

Because everyone here is essentially a fusion warrior, their powerful physique means they won't be affected by the spiciness.

In other words, even if Master Qian only uses chili peppers to cook, as long as the taste is good, everyone will eat it.

Sure enough, after Alicia and the other two left, three more people returned to the house. However, unlike before when Alicia ordered different flavors of takeout every day, the five of them now eat instant noodles from Kevin's stock every day.

When Raiden Mei found out about this, she also felt a little uneasy.

After all, she never expected that of the thirteen most powerful fusion warriors from the previous civilization who survived to the end, twelve were culinary novices who couldn't even cook.

Of course, Miss Pink Fat Lady can also make a little bit, at least it's palatable to eat a little.

The problem is that Miss Pink Fat likes to use sugar as a seasoning, and all she makes are those cloyingly sweet cakes and desserts.

In the words of the pink-haired chubby lady, sugar is the perfect seasoning that brings sweetness and happiness, so of course we should add more!

As for Alicia and Shiki, Raiden Mei has never eaten their cooking.

But they know they are the counterparts of the pink fat lady and Alicia from another world.

Raiden Mei thinks that the two of them probably share the same attitude as the pink fat lady when it comes to cooking.

At dinner time, Raiden Mei volunteered to cook a sumptuous meal for them.

Although she is Mei's counterpart in later generations, her thoughts are clearly different. She does not suddenly have inspiration while cooking and then realize it.

She simply wanted to cook delicious food so that everyone could enjoy their meal.

At the dining table, six people, including Raiden Mei, were seated in chairs. Because there were many family members, the dining table was very large and could even rotate.

Kevin didn't say a word the whole time, he just held the bowl and focused on eating.

Judging from the speed at which he ate, he was clearly very satisfied with Raiden Mei's cooking.

Gretchen was the same; although she ate in small bites, she was not slow at all.

It's clear that eating instant noodles every day for more than half a month must have been tough for her.

Only Mebius, Mei, and Zhenzhu ate slowly and deliberately. They had no particular demands on their appetites; as long as the food could replenish their energy, they could eat it without even frowning.

Even in the pre-civilization era, they directly replenished their physical strength by carrying bottles of glucose.

After finishing her meal, Mei put down her chopsticks and turned her gaze to Raiden Mei, who had also finished eating.

"Mei, when did you get back?"

“Around noon today,” Raiden Mei replied.

"I didn't disturb you because I saw that Mei, Mebius and Miss Pearl were working hard."

"Oh, I see," Mei said with a smile, pushing up her gold-rimmed glasses.

"Next time you come back, you should at least let us know. We're all family, there's no need to bother you."

"Okay, I understand." Raiden Mei returned the smile.

"Speaking of which, are you all so busy because of Golden Courtyard Company?"

"It is somewhat related to the Golden Courtyard." Dr. Mei nodded slightly.

"But it has little connection with the current Golden Court Entertainment Company."

"You should know that Alicia's wish is to build a true paradise."

"The documents that Mebius, Pearl, and I worked on were all for planning the construction of a paradise world named Golden Garden."

"Huh?" Raiden Mei was slightly surprised, then voiced her doubts.

"Is this plan being implemented so quickly? The Honkai crisis on Earth hasn't even been fully resolved yet. What if some unknown accident happens during the construction of the Golden Garden?"

"Mei, you don't need to worry about that," Mebius said with a smile, taking over the conversation.

"The Golden Courtyard is located outside the solar system, so there is no need to worry about it being affected by the collapse."

“Alicia has already solved the resource problem, so there’s no need to worry about that.”

"I have to say that Alicia is really reliable at times. If she could be more serious most of the time, that would be even better."

Chapter 179 Gretchen's Long-Standing Resentment

Looking at Mebius, who was now filled with resentment towards Alicia's previous actions.

Raiden Mei could only manage an awkward but polite smile.

Because she had lived here for a while, she had come to know about the love and hate between Mebius and Alicia.

It can be said that both Alicia from another world and the pink fat lady have a special fondness for provoking Möbius's emotions.

She would either stuff cute pink dresses into Mebius's closet every day or verbally provoke him.

Besides Mebius, the biggest victim was Kevin.

Of course, this is something that both Alicias enjoy doing at the same time.

Alicia, from another world, was completely unrestrained, and basically the entire family suffered at her hands.

Especially the pink-haired fat lady in this world, she is treated even better by Alicia than by Mebius.

Because every day, Raiden Mei could hear the pink fat lady's angry voice, full of grievance and shame, calling her "bad older sister."

"Speaking of which, Mei, why did you suddenly come back?" Möbius suddenly thought of something.

"And you didn't bring Kiana with you when you came back. Did you two have a falling out?"

When Mebius mentioned Kiana, Raiden Mei's expression froze slightly.

"Oh? They really are having a falling out?" Mebius looked at Raiden Mei's conflicted expression, and his gossip-loving heart ignited instantly.

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened between you two?"

As soon as Mebius finished speaking, all five of them turned to look at her in unison, and even Kevin's eating slowed down considerably.

As the patriarch of the Kaslana family, Kevin is also a true glutton.

Raiden Mei cooked a lot of delicious food today. Apart from Gretchen, who ate more than usual, everyone else ate a normal amount.

In other words, all the rice in the rice bucket and the delicious-looking dishes on the table are now reserved for him.

"Actually, it's not a big deal." After hesitating for a moment, Raiden Mei decided to tell her about Kiana and Bronya calling her "Mom" to her face a few days ago and today.

"Here's what happened, I don't know what happened either, Kiana and Bronya whom I just met..."

Listen to Raiden Mei recount the whole story in a distressed tone.

After learning the full story, the group of people couldn't help but show strange expressions.

Mei, in particular, immediately turned her gaze to Kevin, who was still eating.

Kevin naturally understood the meaning in Mei's eyes: "I didn't expect the members of your Kaslana family to still be so eccentric... well, with such lively personalities."

"Hahaha, I can't take it anymore!" Möbius burst out laughing, clutching his stomach.

"Kiana actually treats you like her mother, and even said that Alicia gives her a feeling of facing her mother."

"This is hilarious! If Alicia knew about this, things would probably get even more interesting."

"No, when Alicia comes back, I must tell her the whole story."

"Grandma Mebius, I don't think this is a bit appropriate?" Gretsch asked hesitantly.

Möbius's smile froze: "Quack—"

"Gresch, you should call her 'older sister,' Mebius!" Mebius's smile vanished completely after Gresch's words, and she began to correct Gresch with a serious expression.

"Look at her now, she looks like a beautiful young woman, how can you call her grandma?"

“But Alicia said that Grandma Mebius, you are already very old.” Gretchen blinked.

"Although he looks like a young girl, he is actually an old monster."

"Such behavior is called 'pretending to be young'."

Upon hearing this, Mebius knew perfectly well who the culprit was.

"Ha! I knew it, it must be that Alicia!"

She said angrily, "Alicia, you have Gretsch, who is not even older than you, call you sister, but you call me grandma."

"This is outrageous! I'm not that much older than you, and I can tolerate you calling me Aunt Mebius, but calling me 'Grandma' is just too much!"

"You're the one who likes to act young! How old are you? You still have Gretsch calling you 'little sister'? Aren't you ashamed? I'm asking you, aren't you ashamed!"

"Ugh, this is so infuriating!"

Seeing Mebius, who was already in a state of impotent rage because of her words, Gretchen's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

Yes, Greta did it on purpose.

Although Alicia instigated her during the process, Gretchen recalled her life in the laboratory with Möbius after her parents entrusted her to them.

Besides drawing, all she could do each day was play with the pink-haired, chubby lady who came to the Möbius lab like she was clocking in for work.

The food in the Möbius Laboratory was terrible; it was instant noodles every day. If it weren't for the pink-haired fat lady bringing her some candy when she came over, she didn't know how she would have survived such a life.

What infuriated Gretchen the most was that Mebius, who was usually engrossed in the laboratory and ignored her, even tried to steal her candy.
