Relying solely on psychic abilities to live will make you miss out on a lot of fun, little one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... it's really, really bad... The chef who made that stuff should be sent to the front lines to defend the Federation!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expression on the little one's face was on the verge of tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine, I have a solution, don't worry.\" Loren raised his hand and patted Ayla Morningstar's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, it was Loren himself who wanted to eat something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't eaten for several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren, who grew up in the slums, always held an inexplicable obsession with \"food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he no longer needed to eat and could survive on pure energy alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone knew, Loren's few basic hobbies were—\"enjoying good food,\" \"taking baths,\" and \"provoking the Security Bureau.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in a brand new black coat, Loren, holding Ayla Morningstar's small hand, walked into the castle's cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He led the little one straight to the cafeteria serving window and knocked on the glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me, sorry to bother you. Could you ask the chef here to come out for a moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren said this to the middle-aged man wearing a chef's hat who was dozing off inside the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozing chef, after being disturbed by Loren, didn't get angry. Instead, he lazily pointed at the various foods displayed outside the window and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, the chef's not here. Take whatever you want to eat. The taste is what it is, don't be picky. It's free anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the chef's hat on the man's head, Loren's face broke into a chilling smile. He let go of the little one's hand and said, as if talking to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little one, as your temporary guardian, I'm going to teach you a technique for negotiating with people tonight. It's extremely effective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, that black-and-gold revolver appeared in Loren's right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muzzle lifted, the dark, yawning barrel pointed directly at the man wearing the chef's hat behind the glass window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An energy bullet shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullet's immense kinetic energy shattered the glass in front of the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shattered glass fragments scattered with a clatter over the pile of food in front of the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullet charged menacingly through the window, arriving just above the man with the chef's hat. It circled continuously, emitting a sharp \"whooshing\" sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren bent down, picked up the little one, lightly tapped his right foot, and with Ayla Morningstar, leaped through the window into the kitchen. He walked calmly towards the chef.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tall figure stood before the chef. Loren looked down at the somewhat terrified chef and said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, I'd like you to organize your words. If you don't answer properly, you might die, Mr. Chef.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the overwhelmingly terrifying aura emanating from Loren, the chef, momentarily breathless with fear, collapsed on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of their different positions, Loren's tall body happened to block most of the light in the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shadow also happened to fall over the chef's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the chef's perspective, Loren's intimidation factor was maxed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chef, scared into collapsing by Loren's actions and aura, stammered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I... am the chef... what... what do you... want... with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is... inside the Interstellar Hunter... Association, you... better not cause trouble...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Loren chuckled lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be nervous, Mr. Chef. We're here to place an order...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5 minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren, holding the little one's hand, stood right beside the chef, smiling as he watched the chef cook new food with a grave expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the shoddy, mass-produced food on display at the serving window, what the chef was preparing now was a genuine feast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Superb technique, premium ingredients, extremely precise seasoning, meticulous plating...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his potential truly ignited by Loren, the chef was pouring his lifelong learning into this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the negotiation technique. Did you learn it, little one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I learned it, big brother! It really works!\" Ayla Morningstar looked at Loren with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could already smell the aroma of the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little one, who hadn't eaten for a long time, unconsciously began to salivate a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smelling the delicious fragrance permeating the kitchen, she was getting hungry...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cafeteria, some low-rank interstellar hunters who needed food were still seated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-rank interstellar hunters in the Association never patronized this place. Having no need for food, they always regarded the Association's cafeteria as forbidden territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These low-rank interstellar hunters, having witnessed Loren's actions firsthand, suddenly felt their minds opened. They each planted a seed named \"negotiation\" in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that's how it's done... As expected of the \"Night Raven\" big shot, we've learned something real...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loren and Ayla Morningstar sat in a corner of the cafeteria, enjoying the feast before them with evident pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Raven, who usually only liked to eat fruit, was drawn by the enticing aroma. It released its possession state and joined the dining journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two humans and the raven, in their corner of the cafeteria, enjoyed the pleasures brought by the food as if no one else was around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food on the table was completely devoured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ayla Morningstar leaned back in her chair contentedly, patting her little belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think that chef uncle doesn't need to go to the front lines anymore...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting for a while, Loren, having satisfied his basic hobby, stood up and led the little one out of the cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chef behind the window silently watched the retreating figures of Loren and Ayla Morningstar, his face ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the food I usually made really that bad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it necessary to threaten me like that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bastard, I'm going to report you to the Chief!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exiting the cafeteria located on the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two humans and the raven ambled slowly towards the lounge on the third floor, as if taking a leisurely stroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The languid feeling after a satisfying meal was displayed to the fullest on this duo and their avian companion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the third-floor corridor, Loren escorted Ayla Morningstar to the door of Lounge 104.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See you tomorrow, little one.\" Loren said his goodbye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Loren had a poor reputation outside, he was at least impeccable towards those he was entrusted with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See you tomorrow, big brother.\" Ayla Morningstar smiled and waved at Loren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door closed. Loren turned and walked towards Room 105.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a couple of steps, the sound of a door opening came from behind Loren again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puzzled, Loren looked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is something wrong, little one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ayla Morningstar asked Loren a question with a giggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, is The Abyss really as terrible as they say on the forums?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1142,"2026-06-03T08:20:31.241Z","2026-06-03T08:20:39.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","b9e0133ab76377356781b190e4c140e04c4473503e8d03451e69f61189f53903","i-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-chapter-177","i-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-chapter-175",388,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-just-wanted-to-be-a-galactic-hunter-why-am-i-o-cover.jpg"]
