Chapter 25 Chapter 25 triggers the world quest: The Mystery of Leibo Street. ...

25

The kitchen was very quiet. Li Xiaoqi, Dazai Osamu and Geto Suguru looked at each other, and an awkward atmosphere spread instantly.

Li Xiaoqi stood up and laughed twice.

"Suyu-kun, why are you here?"

Dazai Osamu was still squatting in front of the iron pot. The water in the pot began to boil and emit bursts of hot steam.

"Geto-kun, are you hungry so soon? It's not dinner time yet. Why don't you go to the convenience store outside and buy some bread to fill your stomach?"

Geto Xia Yu raised his hand to support his forehead, looking speechless.

He walked over and stuffed the Okinawa specialty brochure into Li Xiaoqi's hand.

"I've already mentioned that I'm going to Okinawa. Is there anything you'd like to see?"

Geto Suguru's tone became much tougher.

Dazai Osamu came over, snatched the booklet from Li Xiaoqi's hand and started flipping through it.

"Let me see...um...this, this and this!"

Soon, he pointed out three things in the booklet.

Li Xiaoqi tugged at Dazai Osamu's sleeve and whispered, "Brother... isn't this too rude?"

"And how do you know what I want..."

She looked at the manual and found that the red taro tart, golden tart, and Awamori Island peppers that Dazai Osamu pointed out were indeed what she wanted.

So, Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips and looked surprised.

She suddenly remembered that when she first came to this world, Dazai Osamu cooked Tom Yum Udon noodles that night, which was also the kind she usually made.

It feels a bit strange.

Is Dazai Osamu so good that he can judge other people's preferences after just meeting them for a short while?

But how can it be so precise that everything in the udon noodles is exactly the same?

Li Xiaoqi thought so and quietly suppressed his doubts.

Dazai Osamu spread his hands and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, you are my sister, how could I not know what you like?"

Geto Suguru was speechless, feeling provoked for some reason.

Is this because as a brother, he doesn't want other men to get close to his sister?

He clearly didn't mean anything else, well, absolutely not.

"Well, I'm leaving too. If nothing goes wrong, I should be back tomorrow night."

Geto Xiayou waved his hand, turned around and walked out the door.

Li Xiaoqi looked at his back and slowly exhaled.

I probably won’t be back tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow.

She suddenly made up her mind, turned around and bought recipes for wild mushroom chicken skewers, sweet flower wine, Teyvat fried eggs and grilled steaks on the system's purchase interface, spending a total of 40 gold coins.

There is small print on the last line of the recipe stating that the food has no expiration date and will always be steaming hot and fresh.

It won’t upset your stomach if you keep it for a long time, so it’s pretty good.

Li Xiaoqi raised the corners of his lips and complained in his heart.

Dazai Osamu listened to the sound of gold coins being consumed, and a look of understanding flashed across his eyes.

He had no intention of stopping Li Xiaoqi from doing what he wanted to do next.

Dazai Osamu wanted to see if the predetermined ending could be changed.

In so many parallel worlds, Odasaku always ended up dead. If the predetermined ending could be changed, would it mean that all his plans would be meaningful?

Even if the ultimate goal of the plan is to end with one's own death.

It didn't matter, that was the death he had always dreamed of.

Ah...how wonderful.

Dazai Osamu laughed silently, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Li Xiaoqi noticed something strange about Dazai Osamu, looked up and met his iris-colored eyes.

It was as if there was a black hole spinning in that eye, and the world inside was churning like a blender.

It's a mess, with everything and nothing at the same time.

This person suddenly came up with something in his mind, just like his sanity value dropped to the bottom.

Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, and he stood up and poked Dazai Osamu's forehead with his index finger.

Dazai Osamu came to his senses and gave him a puzzled look.

Li Xiaoqi sighed helplessly, and was suddenly stunned. He felt that he was really not afraid of Dazai Osamu's eyes.

Dazai Osamu saw her expression, smiled slightly, and raised his hand to rub her head.

Li Xiaoqi didn't say anything. Seeing that Dazai Osamu had returned to his normal expression, he squatted back and used the recipe on the virtual screen.

A white light flashed in the iron pot. Xia Yujie noticed something strange and turned around to look, but he was blinded by the light.

Two seconds later, a fragrant aroma came from the iron pot, and in the center of the pot lay a wild mushroom and chicken skewer that looked, smelled and tasted great.

Dazai Osamu cooperated very well and took out a takeaway box from the cabinet under the cooking table and put the wild mushroom and chicken skewers into the box.

Li Xiaoqi used the recipe again, took out the bird eggs and threw them into the pot.

Xia Yujie blinked and felt a burst of colorful lights in front of his eyes, and his nose smelled the delicious aroma of barbecue skewers.

Just as I regained my vision, the same white light appeared again.

He was caught off guard and the light pierced his eyes again. "What happened?"

Xia Yujie's forehead jumped and he asked with gritted teeth.

This time, the aroma wafted over was the scent of fried eggs.

In the iron pan, a golden fried egg appeared.

Li Xiaoqi took the takeaway box from Dazai Osamu, put the fried egg in it, and finally closed the lid.

She hurriedly walked up to Geto Suguru, and seeing that his eyes were still closed, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Sorry, sorry, we are making Teyvat's specialties."

Xia Youjie then opened his eyes and chuckled helplessly when he saw the bright smile on Li Xiaoqi's face.

“Really…”

Li Xiaoqi stuffed the takeaway box into Xia Yujie's hands and said, "This is a thank-you gift of Okinawa's specialty. You can only open it and use it in an emergency."

Geto Xia Yu was stunned, looking at the wild mushroom chicken skewers and fried eggs in the takeaway box, thinking that they were for him to eat when he was hungry.

"Thank you."

He paused and asked curiously, "Can I ask why it was done as soon as a light appeared?"

Dazai Osamu raised the corners of his lips and started to deceive people.

“This is magic.”

Geto Summer Oil: “?”

Dazai Osamu's expression was serious. He raised his hand and gently patted Geto's shoulder. "This is the cooking magic we learned in Teyvat. As long as we put the ingredients in an iron pot like this, we can use magic to combine delicious food."

"And food made with magic will always be in its fresh-out-of-the-pot state, so you can eat it no matter how long it's been stored."

Geto Suguru was stunned for a second, and the scene just now echoed in his mind, forcing him to believe this statement.

"It feels...very powerful."

Li Xiaoqi folded his hands, raised his chin proudly, and said shamelessly: "Of course!"

"Jay—where are you—leaving!"

Gojo Satoru's shout was heard.

Xia Yujie came back to his senses and smiled twice with his eyebrows bent.

"Thank you. I have to go now."

He walked to the door and suddenly turned around to look at Li Xiaoqi.

"Wait until I come back."

Li Xiaoqi was stunned and didn't understand why he told them specifically.

Dazai Osamu stood beside Li Xiaoqi. Seeing her confused look, he was in a very good mood and widened the smile on his lips.

"Bye~"

He waved his hand and replied on behalf of Li Xiaoqi.

Xia Yujie chuckled and added, "Okinawa's specialties are quite good."

Li Xiaoqi suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly with a smile.

*

Geto Suguru closed the door and was startled by Gojo Satoru appearing behind him.

"Satoru, don't show up suddenly."

Gojo Satoru hooked his arm around Geto Suguru's neck and pushed him forward.

"You seem to be in a good mood. What did you say to Miss Nana?"

Xia Yujie looked helpless and said, "I just wanted to ask them what Okinawa specialties they want."

Gojo Satoru was stunned, his expression blank. "Jay, this is unlike you. Miss Nana played such a prank on you, and now you think of her when you have something good to offer..."

Geto pushed Gojo Satoru away and said, "Didn't she say she brought the wrong chocolate? I'm not that stingy, and... Satoru, don't you think this is interesting? They are from another world."

He shook the takeaway box in his hand with a smug tone.

"Look, this is a return gift I received in advance. It's food made using Teyvat's magic."

Geto Suguru recounted the scene he saw in the kitchen in detail and vividly.

Gojo Satoru blinked and burst out laughing.

"Jay, don't you think you look like a country bumpkin who just moved to the city? Or, like the heroine in the anime who's just been chosen as a magical girl?"

Geto Suguru slowly opened his eyes, "...Huh?"

"Absolutely not!"

Gojo Satoru snatched the takeaway box from Geto Suguru's hand with amusement, opened the lid, took out the wild mushroom and chicken skewers and smelled them.

"Oh~~~It smells so good——"

"Wait, Satoru."

Xia Yujie hesitated and said, "Ms. Nana said that it can only be taken out in an emergency."

Gojo Satoru gave him a strange look, "Because you're hungry, that's the critical moment, right? Okay, I'll leave you half."

As he said that, he opened his mouth and took a bite.

Xia Yujie smiled helplessly, "This is originally mine, okay?"

"tasty!"

Gojo Satoru's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up and praised repeatedly.

In an instant, he felt refreshed all over and the fatigue in his body disappeared.

"Um?"

Gojo Satoru handed over the remaining half of the wild mushroom and chicken skewers with interest, "Jay, you should try it too."

Geto Suguru put the chicken skewers into his mouth with his hands, and it tasted wonderful.

"Do you feel anything special?"

Five questions to be answered.

Xia Yujie shook his head, "No, it tastes very good."

Gojo Satoru pondered for a moment, then said, "Why don't you try eating this fried egg?"

Geto Xia Yu looked puzzled, but still picked up the fried egg with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

As he swallowed the first mouthful, he felt the sounds of the surrounding environment become crisp and melodious, and the swaying shapes of the trees in the distance became extremely vivid, as if the whole world had been reborn.

Not only that, the fatigue in his body disappeared without a trace.

He was surprised and said, "These foods seem to have a refreshing effect."

Gojo Satoru nodded, "Yes, it's truly something made of magic."

In this way, the two walked towards the school gate, marveling at the wonder of magic.

If Li Xiaoqi saw these two things being eaten like this, he would definitely feel very disappointed and say it was a waste of food.

*

In the cafeteria kitchen, Dazai Osamu and Li Xiaoqi stared at the iron pot and fell into deep thought.

"Now it seems as if we decide the cafeteria's daily menu."

Li Xiaoqi said with a serious expression.

"It's not like, it's definitely."

Dazai Osamu said.

The two men fell silent, staring at the firewood under the iron pot in a daze.

Dazai Osamu swapped out the map and pointed to the exploration level displayed in the top column of the map.

"The current exploration level is 13%, which means that the precious treasure chest we opened last time has increased the exploration level by 1.75%... We plan to go out and open the anchor point tonight, don't forget."

Li Xiaoqi wailed and held his head. "Opening a treasure chest only increases that much, how many do I need to open?"

"Maybe five or six."

"Does every treasure chest encounter danger..."

"It's possible."

Dazai Osamu raised his hand and touched Li Xiaoqi's hair, comforting him: "It's okay, think about it, we have resurrection and blood recovery food now, don't panic."

Suddenly, the system sounded a prompt.

"Congratulations on successfully using the health and recovery recipes to trigger the world quest - The Mystery of Mortuary Street."

"Completing this world quest will increase your exploration by 5%."

Li Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, "How much?!"

Suddenly, her face stiffened, "What street???"

She showed a look of surprise and subconsciously looked at Dazai Osamu.

Dazai Osamu raised the corners of his lips and chuckled softly, "Oh? Leibo Street..."

Li Xiaoqi frowned slightly and said, "Could the answer be the Huangba Tu on Mr. Zhongyuan's body?"

She did not shy away from mentioning these things in front of Dazai Osamu, because he knew from the beginning that she knew a lot of things.
