An unexpected explosion sends food streamer Qi Huan hundreds of years into the future, into the interstellar era. Forced to adapt, he takes over a poorly reputed, nearly bankrupt little restaurant ...
Chapter 73: Fame
"Why is it so troublesome?" No. 2 made a "tsk" sound with a look of disgust on his face, but his body still obediently followed Jiufang Yu without stopping.
No. 4 looked at No. 2 who said he was disrespectful but acted honestly, shook his head and followed him.
Ten minutes later, the post-meal data was recorded. The medical team was surprised to see the data. The increase in data was visible to the naked eye and could be discovered without even a detailed comparison.
"How is it?" No. 2 and No. 4 went out, and Jiufang Yu looked at the red-haired man from the medical team. His name was Qiu Ran, and he was the person in charge of the entire research project.
Qiu Ran said with a serious expression, "It is roughly estimated that the spiritual energy values of the three of you have increased significantly after the meal. We are currently analyzing the two sets of data, and cross-comparing the data sent back by Xiao Xingchu. It is estimated that it will take two or three hours to produce detailed results and analysis. I have also recorded the data of several people in the medical team before and after the meal, and will include them in the comparison at the same time."
Jiufang Yu nodded, and was about to turn around and leave when he was stopped by him again, "Master, it seems that we need to do a sampling analysis of the dishes made by Xiaoxing Chef tomorrow."
"Yeah." Jiufang Yu moved his jaw slightly, indicating that he had no objection to this.
It was dusk, the breeze was blowing, and a stone table made of several long beams lay quietly beside the ruins. The owner and A-Lun sat on the left, drinking plum wine and occasionally chatting. Qiqi stood on the hairpin on his head, combing the feathers.
Jiujiu dragged Xiaobai out of Diwuyuan's pocket and dragged it to the other end of the long table. Xiaobai stretched his body and looked back at Diwuyuan.
Diwuyuan, who was sitting at the table, had already swung his feet to open the triple screen, put on his goggles and entered the happy overtime mode, with no intention of saving his own spirit body at all.
Xiaobai's body flipped and folded rapidly, and in a few seconds it turned into a paper crane. It flapped its wings and ran into the air. A yellow shadow flew over from the side and blocked its way.
Xiaobai knew that he was no match for Qiqi, so he fell back to the ground and folded himself into a tiger shape. Just as he was about to run away, Xingqiba suddenly appeared and blocked the road as an accomplice to the evil.
The white tiger opened its mouth and spit out a ball of blue and red flames, trying to scare away Monday. The black ball opened its mouth and swallowed the fire nonchalantly.
The white tiger stood there in a daze, and two seconds later it turned back into a soft white handkerchief, with its head down, looking as if it was "dead". Qiqi flew over, grabbed it, and flew to the middle of the long table, followed by Jiujiu and Heituanzi.
Under Jiujiu's command, Qiqi placed Xiaobai steadily on the lid of the wine jug containing plum wine where Jiujiu had sat before.
Xiaobai twisted his body and looked around secretly. His white body trembled slightly. He struggled to leave, but found that everyone was busy with their own things. Except for the "bully" team, no one paid attention to him. He relaxed a little. Looking at the opposite side, he suddenly stopped moving.
From this position, you can just see the orange sunset rising in the sky through the gaps in the ruins.
It was so beautiful. It realized that they had brought it here just to share the sunset with it.
The little white handkerchief rolled up a few times, folded its body into a heart shape, waved towards the other three little ones, and then quietly sat on the lid of the wine pot, immersed in the sunset. Its body, like the porcelain pot, was dyed a beautiful golden orange color.
Qiqi, who had retired successfully, continued to comb its feathers on the handle of the floor pot. The little white ball jumped onto Xingqi's head and patted its yellow crystal-like curved horns affectionately, thanking it for its help just now. It then pointed to the right, and the black ball took it and ran happily to the other side of the long table.
The washing machine was humming over there, and Qi Huan was preparing the batter beside it.
No. 2 and No. 4 sat opposite with bitter faces, looking at the cleaning machine, then at Qi Huan, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.
"Want to have a midnight snack?" Jiufang Yu was also a little surprised and walked over to Qi Huan.
"No. 2 and No. 4 said they were going back to the base. I plan to blow up some of this and have them take it back to Kong Hu, Wen Liang and everyone else." Qi Huan turned his head slightly and pointed at the cleaning machine next to him with his chin. He had to cooperate with the medical team to do an energy replenishment experiment today. It would be best to replenish energy when he was busy until his mental strength was exhausted.
Jiufang Yu glanced over there and found a bunch of wind-breathing insects inside.
Number 2 winked at Jiufang Yu, signaling him to stop Qi Huan, but Jiufang Yu said, "It's a good time to fry more, and then ask someone to send some to Chen Ye and the others. He was very depressed when he heard about our banquet at Tianfeng Pavilion last time. If he knew we had it again today, he would probably make a fuss and abandon Base No. 6 and come back."
"No problem, I'll wash another pot later."
No. 2 gritted his teeth and glared at Jiufang Yu, you traitor!
Jiufang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and gently spread out his hands. We are not on the same front, so how can there be betrayal?
No. 2: …
Jiujiu and Xingqi also rushed to the basin. Little Baituanzi sat on the edge of the basin, lowered his head to look at the batter, then looked up at Qi Huan, as if he wanted to go down and play, but was afraid of being scolded.
"It's okay, you can go down." Jiufang Yu spoke first.
Qi Huan didn't want to offend him, so the scolding got stuck in his throat and turned silently into a sigh. If he continued like this, he would be spoiled sooner or later.
With permission, the little white dumpling immediately jumped into the batter and started playing the dough-kneading game with Qi Huan. After a while, it came out, still clean without a drop of noodle soup on its body.
The freshly fried Fengxichong are only the size of peanuts, fragrant and crispy. Qi Huan prepared two kinds of seasonings: salt and pepper cumin and sweet and sour icing sugar. After sprinkling them on, the flavors are different.
The shop owner and Senior A Luan brought over a plate of snacks as a side dish. No. 8 ate as much as he was given. No. 2 and No. 4 were a little reluctant at first, but they found it really delicious after taking a bite. Only No. 5 Yuan, who was busy dismantling the signal device with Kong Hu, refused to eat it because he hated the wind-breathing insects.
After seeing off No. 2 and No. 4, Qi Huan went to the medical room for real-time monitoring of energy absorption.
Qiu Ran walked up to Jiufang Yu with a stack of freshly produced data.
Jiufang Yu handed him a small plate of fried wind-calming insects and raised his hand to take the data.
Qiu Ran turned around and handed the plate of wind-breaking insects to the man behind him. When the man saw the golden and slightly burnt things on the plate, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"I asked you to take it for analysis and testing, not for you to eat." Qiu Ran sighed.
The man's face turned pale and he ran to the next room quickly, holding the plate as if escaping.
"What do you mean?" Jiufang Yu flipped through the data and asked as he looked at it.
"There is one fact that can be confirmed, and two inferences that need to be confirmed. What is certain is that the dishes made by Qi Huan contain energy, which can replenish the spiritual power of the sentinels similar to the spiritual energy of the beast core.
The initial guess is that the energy source is the meat of stone beasts, which have energy in their bodies. We will need to do more sampling and analysis of the dishes in the next two days."
"These are almost all the known information in the early stage," Jiu Fangyu's face darkened, and he was obviously not satisfied with this conclusion. "What about the other two inferences?"
Qiu Ran clenched his hands slightly in his white coat, "First, this kind of energy should not have a level threshold."
Jiu Fangyu paused while flipping through the data, raised his eyes and looked at her, "Tell me more details."
"There were six people who collected data before and after the meal. They were all sentinels. Their mental power levels were B-level, three A-level, and one S-level. The mental power energy replenishment values of these six people were different, but they could obviously be replenished.
In other words, the energy in the food can cross the level barrier from B to S and can be absorbed by people of any spiritual energy level without level restrictions. As for those below B or above S, there is no data at the moment and it cannot be confirmed.
The different energy supplement values are initially speculated to be related to the specific amount consumed. The more you consume, the more energy value you supplement.
Of course, the energy value of these supplements cannot be compared with that of the beast core for the time being, but based on the normal frequency of meals, the overall cumulative effect is not bad.
At the same time, we also suspect that the Shanshuidou that we tested at the beginning may not really be A-level energy, but it is displayed as A-level energy because the mental level of the person who handled it is A-level. "
Chen Ye's mental power is also A-level. Jiu Fangyu frowned, "You mean, after he cooks the food containing 100 units of B-level energy, it can also replenish 100 units of energy for A-level or even S-level sentinels?"
"Regarding the conversion rate, since there is no specific data on consumption and energy, we can only roughly estimate it at present," Qiu Ran chose his words carefully. "After actual testing, it may be that 100 units of B-level energy will be converted into 30 units of A-level energy. For now, we can only confirm that it can be converted."
"Do you know what this inference means?" Jiufang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes instantly became cold and fierce, revealing a murderous intent.
The meaning of this inference can be equivalently interpreted as Qi Huan can turn a B-grade beast core into an S-grade beast core. The price difference between a B-grade beast core and an A-grade beast core of the same quality is a hundred times, and for an S-grade, it is another hundred times. Even if the conversion rate is only 10%, it is still very amazing. Judging from the value alone, it is no exaggeration to say that this ability can turn stone into gold.
Most of the top sentinels only appear in the top ten families and the military. In addition to talent issues, a big reason is money. Training a high-level sentinel requires the energy of countless gems, which ordinary families simply cannot afford.
If more people have such capabilities, the entire alliance structure may collapse and be reorganized.
"Don't worry, young master. The project team and I won't reveal a single word to anyone else." Qiu Ran broke out in sweat on his forehead and quickly stated his position.
"You'd better keep your word. You know, the guide is here. As a sentinel, I can do anything for the guide, even if it means dying." Jiufang Yu's tone was light, but the chill in his words made people feel cold in their bones.
"I will definitely do it." The powerful mental pressure came over him, and Qiu Ran's body trembled, his legs became weak, and whose body was crushed and whose bones were broken? Maybe it was the person who leaked the news?
"What is the second inference?" Jiufang Yu removed the pressure of his mental power and continued to ask.
Qiu Ran wiped the sweat off his face and took a deep breath, "Repair ability."
Jiufang Yu frowned even more tightly, "What do you mean?"
"Your mental images and those of No. 2 and No. 4 are all in a state of damage. Their condition is collapse, and your condition..." Qiu Ran paused and glanced at Jiu Fangyu's stern profile, "It is damaged. It is reflected in the scanned image as dark spots. The darker the color of the spots and the larger the area, the more serious the degree of damage."
"There's no need to explain this basic common sense. Let's get to the point." Jiufang Yu said with a serious face.
"Comparing before and after the meal, the shadows in your mental images have faded, especially your shadow, which has been repaired more significantly than others. Based on our detection of his physical data and mental fluctuations, his mental body was particularly active during the cooking process. We speculate that his mental body is likely to have the ability to repair the damaged mental images of the sentinels, and after indirect contact through cooking, it played a corresponding role.
We all know that guides are born with the ability to channel their mental power, and can sort out, alleviate, and repair the shadows in the mental picture. However, this kind of channeling can only be applied to the picture before it collapses. Once it collapses, the progress is irreversible, and ordinary channeling cannot prevent the collapse from continuing. But Qi Huan's spiritual body seems to have a further ability. Even if the mental picture has collapsed, it can still play a role. This may be an advanced or evolution of mental channeling.
Of course, it is still too small and its capabilities are limited, but what is certain is that it can play a repair role and control the already collapsed mental picture from getting worse. If it continues to grow in the future, it may be able to perform reverse repairs and real healing.
To put it in simple terms, it is similar to those tonics that have the effects of warming, removing dryness, and strengthening the body. They can be taken after being brewed and boiled, but the effects of those medicines are aimed at the body, while it is aimed at the mental strength. "
Tonic? Jiufang Yu thought, "According to your speculation, if I come into direct contact with his spirit body, will it have a greater effect than through the food?"
Qiu Ran was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Theoretically, it is very possible, but further experimental comparison and data confirmation are needed."
"Ding~"
A prompt sound indicating that the operation was completed was heard from the compartment inside, and the door opened. Qi Huan, who had absorbed the beast core, felt refreshed and walked out with a cheerful step.
Why did the beauty's face turn bad again? The little white ball sitting on Qi Huan's head blinked worriedly, flew to Jiufang Yu's ear, raised his head and was about to kiss his cheek.
At the moment their lips were about to touch, Xiao Baituan's body was suspended in the air and was picked up by Qi Huan.
"Don't act like a hooligan!" Qi Huan lifted it to eye level, warned it solemnly, and then took it back mercilessly.
Jiufang Yu: ...
Qiu Ran lowered his eyelids to indicate that he saw nothing.
The next morning, the starship set off for its next target location.
There are also the ruins of an old city. The remains of the buildings vaguely show arched roofs and magnificent decorations, which vaguely resemble a Baroque castle.
The protective shield here can actually be activated.
The moment it opened, the hemispherical transparent protective shield covered the entire abandoned city, and several large damaged holes were clearly visible.
The entire ruins look like a broken crystal ball thrown into the desert, dilapidated and run-down, which makes people sigh.
After testing environmental values and checking equipment points, Jiufang Yu, Diwuyuan and the medical team began to repeat the work process at the previous location.
In addition to cooperating with the medical team's experiments, Qi Huan also practices his guiding skills and makes delicious food for everyone in different ways.
No. 2 and No. 4 came again the day after, with a face full of blue and purple, just like the sky with sunset glow, colorful and eye-catching.
"What's going on?" Qi Huan was shocked when he saw the two of them. "Do you want to go to the medical cabin for treatment?"
"It's okay, just a superficial wound." No. 2 waved his hand.
"You come out to eat alone, and you will be beaten by Wen Liang and the others when you go back, right?" The owner said this while waving his fan with a smile.
"I'd love to." No. 2's black face instantly turned red, and he glared at the owner uncomfortably.
Qi Huan was speechless. It turned out that the source of the trouble was on his side.
"Then make more for dinner tonight, and then you can pack some for everyone to take home." Qi Huan took the initiative to suggest.
"Huanhuan, you're such a nice person." No. 4 was so excited that he wanted to give Qi Huan a bear hug, but was stopped by the shop owner.
"Don't blame me for not warning you," the shop owner said, fanning himself with a smile, "if you carry it down here, you'll get a beating before you get back home."
No. 4: …
"Huanhuan, what are you going to do today?" No. 2 came up to Qi Huan and asked impatiently.
"I haven't decided yet. Let me take a look."
Today is another day for live streaming. Thinking about the last time when eleven dishes were served at once, Qi Huan was a little worried whether they could be sold out, so he decided to log in to Baifu first to see the situation. If there are really too many left, then today's live streaming will be temporarily canceled to let the dishes on the shelf continue to be "digested".
To his surprise, the shelves in the live broadcast room were gray and all the dishes were sold out.
No way? That's eleven dishes, 5,000 servings each, a total of 55,000 servings! Qi Huan rubbed his eyes in doubt, then looked at the balance in his personal account, which had soared to more than 8.82 million. He also looked at the number of fans, which had soared to 500,000. There were a lot of comments below urging him to start broadcasting.
Qi Huan was stunned. He looked through the comments and found out that the live broadcast room of Renjian Restaurant became famous because of the banquet broadcast in the wilderness the day before yesterday. It became popular all of a sudden.
This kind of natural popularity came and went quickly, and Qi Huan felt that he must seize it, so he immediately issued an announcement to inform fans that the show would start in two hours.
In the distant fifth star field, a white-haired man opened the system message and said to the blonde woman beside him, "The little star fan of that useless star will start broadcasting in two hours."
