No Wasting Food! [Showbiz]

In the 139th era of the apocalypse, a battle without precedent ended the century-long conflict between humanity and the zombies.

Chi Huan, a lower-class commoner who survived by scavenging and was always hungry, was drafted into the army.

Chi Huan was just like his name: slow to speak, slow to fight monsters, and even slower than others at scavenging.

So when the Upper City fell, Chi Huan couldn't escape in time and became zombie food.

But the good news was that he was reborn.

He was reborn into a developed era with no zombies, only love and peace, and was even discovered by a talent scout.

His agent handed him an agreement. "Room and board, plus a salary. All you have to do is appear on this variety show..."

Chi Huan, penniless, starving for three days and nights, and about to rummage through a trash can, had stars in his eyes. "I'm in!"

After being reborn, Chi Huan could eat his fill every day. He thought this world was paradise.

[Food Variety Show]

One of the guests was a famous singer who loved cooking but had absolutely no talent for it.

Seeing the red and green "food," the staff and other guests kept their distance, not daring to criticize the king of pop.jpg

Only Chi Huan dug in with gusto. "It's delicious!"

The singer, teary-eyed, said, "This isn't just an endorsement of my cooking, it's an endorsement of my songwriting too! He's the music video lead I've been looking for!"

[Farm Life Variety Show]

Every guest hated working in the fields. Except Chi Huan...

He worked from the eastern edge of the field to the western edge, completing the show's assigned task all by himself.

Chi Huan wiped the sweat from his forehead, full of energy. "There's so much unpolluted land! Just think how much food we could grow!"

The other guests: What's going on? This guy usually reacts as slowly as a sloth, but he's suddenly got a cheat code for farming?!

-

Even his agent hadn't expected the show to become a hit and Chi Huan to become a star overnight.

But fame brings trouble. Haters wanted to dig up something juicy about him. They watched him for a whole month, only to discover...

As soon as the director called for a break during filming, Chi Huan said, "Time to eat!"

The first thing he did after wrapping a shoot: eat!

A celebration banquet? No, a feast!

He even packed up the leftovers from the set. Every stray cat and dog on the block thought of him as an angel.

Haters: ...?

Hey, man, were you so hungry in your past life that you developed a habit of eating people?

Chi Huan bashfully scratched his head. "Wasting food is a bad habit."

After that, passersby and haters alike became devoted fans, crying out, "No wasting food!"

Watching his follower count soar and earning the title of "Clean Plate Campaign Ambassador," Chi Huan was bewildered. Huh? You can become famous just by eating?

A slow-living variety show premiered, with an award-winning actor who'd peaked at his debut among its guests.

Everyone knew the actor was cold, heartless, and sharp-tongued.

Fans were worried about Chi Huan and his slow reactions.

But to everyone's surprise, the sharp-tongued actor didn't make him cry. He even thoughtfully saved him some food.

Viewers were stunned. Was this really the actor they knew?!

Chi Huan was stunned too. Help! The fierce leader from before has come along too! QAQ

Later, keen-eyed viewers realized that the actor hadn't stopped picking on people. He just didn't pick on Chi Huan. Instead, he patiently taught him, step by step, how to play Fight the Landlord.

Viewers: How are those two (chewing, chewing) so ridiculously cute together (chewing, chewing)...
