The Interstellar’s Expert Plant Tamer

In the post-apocalyptic world, Xie Sen was bitten to death by a zombie and woke up again as Xie Sen, the famous wastrel of Beast Star City – a child abandoned by the Beast God. After his 18th birth...

Chapter 103 Cooking in Public

After seeing the comments, Xie Sen subconsciously glanced at the time. It was just past three in the afternoon. In order to eat a piece of boiled fish, he had to wait until ten o'clock tomorrow morning and even stay overnight.

What kind of foodie spirit is this?

He once again felt that the people of Brandt were too pitiful and their food was so miserable.

He put his arm around Maine's shoulders and said, "You guys haven't had any delicious food since you were little, right?"

Maine: “I’m used to it.”

Xie Sen thought of the way they drank the nutrient solution without changing their expressions, and thought, they must have gotten used to it, otherwise how could they remain calm after drinking something so unpalatable!

After the two of them finished their preparations for tomorrow, they went to see the contracted beasts. Eaglemon still couldn't fly, but it walked very fast and often lay in the accommodation area to chat with the other beasts.

The strange beasts recovered very well, perhaps because they had so many companions around them, the time they were frenetic was greatly shortened, but they still remained very wary of humans.

Except for Xie Sen, and Guluo, Bai Jiao, Bai Fu, who examined them many times with Xie Sen's company, as well as Maine and Long Teng who appeared frequently, they would still get excited when they met strangers.

When Xie Sen and Long Teng went in, Father Bai and Bai Jiao were there. After greeting them, Father Bai looked outside and said, "Let's go out and talk."

Xie Sen immediately understood what he meant. It was not convenient for the alien beasts to hear what he said. This also meant that not all the contracted beasts could hear it. With the speed at which contracted beasts spread news through chatting, if one knew, all would know.

The four of them went to the apartment and sat down on the sofa. Father Bai said, "I knew before that the contracted beasts had high IQs, but it wasn't until I came to your place to treat the beasts that I realized that I still underestimated their IQs."

Xie Sen smiled and said, "After all, the Brant people were originally in beast form."

"You're right," said Father Bai. "In fact, I've studied human history. I wouldn't be surprised if the contracted beasts you feed really transform into humans."

Oh my god!

Xie Sen was shocked. He had never thought about it. Just like he knew that modern humans evolved from apes, when he saw the smart apes, he never thought that they would suddenly become humans.

He asked, “Really?”

Father Bai said seriously, "It's very likely, but it has something to do with the physiological and psychological environment. If they recognize the beast form and are used to it, and they recognize themselves as contracted beasts, then it won't happen."

Xie Sen thought, this means, if someone just wants to become a human, is it possible?

Father Bai did not continue the topic, but turned to the main topic: "Because I know their IQ is very high, so I will deliberately avoid them in the next sentence."

Xie Sen collected the rest of his thoughts and said with some worry: "Is it about treatment?"

Father Bai nodded. "Yes, the contracted beasts in the laboratory have all recovered well. I have discussed this with several experts, and Dean Mu also participated in the meeting. We all agree that now is the best time to treat them. If it is delayed any longer, the organs forced into their bodies will fuse too deeply, and the surgery will be very troublesome. Their current condition is just right for the surgery."

He sighed and said, "But the operation is very traumatic, it requires a lot of people and takes a long time. In order to ensure the operation is completed smoothly, they must be under general anesthesia."

Xie Sen understood: "You are afraid that they will have emotional fluctuations after hearing about general anesthesia."

"Yes," said Father Bai, "This is a predictable reaction, so we can only avoid talking to them. But after the operation is over, they will definitely realize what happened. At that time, the pain of the wound will be the strongest, and they will most likely go crazy."

Father Bai said solemnly, "If we can't control them, their condition will be worse than when we sent them back."

Xie Sen asked: "Is there anything I can do?"

Father Bai: "Of course, the reason I told you is because I need your help. Your affinity is the best tranquilizer for them, and it has no side effects."

"I hope you can stay with them until the surgery is over and the anesthesia wears off. We are unsure what will happen. We will arrange for someone to ensure your safety."

Xie Sen did not hesitate: "I agree. This kind of surgery can only be done one by one, right?"

Father Bai: "Yes, in two days, we plan to perform surgery on the giant bear beast first. The anesthesia effect will probably wear off in the afternoon."

Xie Sen glanced at the calendar: "On the 28th, tell me the address and I'll go there that afternoon."

"Okay." Father Bai smiled, "Then I'll go make the arrangements first."

Bai Jiao glanced at the message and said, "Father, I'll be back later."

Father Bai nodded: "Okay, you young people should chat more and play more, instead of always studying medicinal herbs."

Bai Jiao responded. After Bai's father left, Bai Jiao said, "A Teng said he wanted to come over."

As he finished speaking, a dragon roar came from outside the house, and the next moment, the huge head of the flying dragon beast rested on the door: "Asen, I'm here to see you!"

Xie Sen smiled and greeted it. Long Teng laughed loudly, stepped from the dragon's back to the dragon's head, and strode to the living room. Feilongmon turned around and flew to the dormitory area to play with his friends.

Long Teng ran to Xie Sen's side, his eyes sparkling, and while sitting down, he tried to pat Xie Sen's shoulder, but was stopped by Maine before he could do so.

Long Teng was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted: "Haha, I almost forgot that Asen is pregnant. I just patted her gently, not hard."

Maine withdrew his hand, and Long Teng put his arm around Xie Sen's shoulder. "Asen, I saw the live broadcast announcement. Are you going to make boiled fish in the mall tomorrow?"

Xie Sen nodded, and Long Teng looked greedy: "Can you let me cut in line? Can you?"

Xie Sen laughed: "You can only eat one slice if you cut in line. If you want to eat, let's have dinner together. I'll make it first so you can practice."

"Really?" Long Teng jumped up, "Great, I really want to eat this!"

Bai Jiao was curious: "Are you making boiled fish in a shopping mall?"

Without waiting for Xie Sen to speak, Long Teng quickly repeated Xie Sen's announcement: "I saw many viewers saying they were going to sleep on the floor! Hahaha, how lucky! If I didn't know Asen, I would have gone to sleep on the floor too!"

Xie Sen: "...Are you serious about sleeping on the floor? Are you kidding me?"

Long Teng said: "Of course not. If you don't sleep on the floor, you won't be able to get in line at all and won't get anything to eat!"

Xie Sen was helpless: "If I had known, I would have issued an announcement tomorrow morning, or restricted the entry time."

Bai Jiao smiled and said, "It's useless to limit the entry time. People who want to go will definitely be waiting near the mall."

Xie Sen spread his hands: "It seems that I can only issue the announcement later in the future."

The four of them sat on the sofa and chatted. At dinner, Xie Sen personally made boiled fish. The four of them ate dinner together. After the meal, everyone looked like they were about to have a heat stroke, with red faces and lips, and they sat on the sofa drinking cold boiled water.

Long Teng fanned his lips: "Hiss... so cool!"

Xie Sen drank apple juice in big gulps and had a very enjoyable dinner. The only flaw was that there was no wine. In the past, when friends would have dinner together, it was always very lively. In addition to delicious food, wine was indispensable, and the atmosphere would be even more lively with wine.

It’s a pity that the energy demand is huge now. Although there is a lot of remaining energy, he still dare not use it casually. Otherwise, he really wants to exchange it for plants needed for winemaking and make some wine.

The next morning, after finishing his breakfast, Xie Sen went to see the contracted beasts. He touched the claws of the beasts one by one to comfort them, then sat down on the recliner and read the news.

The news "Xingcheng Shopping Mall is packed with people" was floating at the top. The news reported the real-time situation of Xingcheng Shopping Mall and was accompanied by several photos. The photos were taken from the aerial view and showed heads of people with different hair colors.

After reporting the situation, he explained the reason for this situation, directly copied the announcement from his live broadcast room, and finally reminded the public to pay attention to safety.

Xie Sen returned to the homepage and found that someone had posted a thread reporting the situation in the queue area in real time. He chose to only read the thread owner's post and took a quick look. At about five in the morning, the area reserved by Maine was already full of people, and no one was allowed to enter the queue area.

The last photo was posted half a minute ago. The queue area was packed with people. The windows of the shopping mall buildings on both sides, which were rarely opened, were all opened, and there were people standing in each window.

This is too exaggerated! Xie Sen was shocked. He was just cooking, not holding a concert!

Looking at the dark crowd, he felt inexplicably nervous. He rubbed the little spot lying beside him, and his nervousness dissipated a little.

Xie Sen stayed in the accommodation area until half past nine, and then went to the Star City Mall with Maine. The two took the VIP channel, the shuttle landed in the VIP parking lot, and went directly to the booth preparation area from the underground.

There were three tall men in the preparation area. One of them was filleting fish. There were a few fresh fish in the big bucket next to him, and there was a fillet on the table. The other two were carrying mobile kitchen equipment out. When they saw Maine, they paused and said, "Mr. Maine."

Maine checked the equipment and said, "Move out."

The male who was slicing fish said hello, "The second portion will be sliced ​​right away."

Xie Sen said: "Don't worry, two servings are enough. If you keep it for too long, the taste will be affected."

The staff quickly set up the equipment. When Xie Sen heard the excited shouting outside, he wanted to laugh for some reason. He almost had the illusion that he was giving a concert, when he was clearly just cooking a dish!

"Dong Dong..." The sound of two people tapping their microphones came, and soon, a staff member came in and said, "Mr. Xie, Mr. Maine, we are ready."

Maine looked at the surveillance camera on the wall and carefully checked the security around the stage. Seeing that there was no problem, he put his arm around Xie Sen's shoulders and said, "Don't be afraid, let's go out together."

Xie Sen took a deep breath and smiled: "I'm not afraid." Maine let go of his hand, picked up the fish fillet, and the two walked out together.

As soon as Xie Sen appeared in the audience's field of vision, they immediately shouted excitedly. Xie Sen paused, and continued to walk forward with a calm face, and Maine followed closely beside him.

Walking to the middle of the stage, Xie Sen looked down and saw people everywhere. The windows of the tall buildings on both sides were also full of people. They were located at a much higher altitude, which made Xie Sen feel pressured.

Maine picked up the wireless microphone on the table, bent down and put it on his ear. The two were very close at this time, and Maine blocked half of his body. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart suddenly relaxed.

“Okay, this button is the switch.” Maine grabbed his wrist and let his hand touch the switch button of the headset.

Xie Sen hummed, Maine lowered his head, his eyes fell on his lips, paused for a moment, and kissed him lightly on the forehead: "I'm here, don't be afraid." After he said that, he stepped aside and handed the venue to Xie Sen.

Without Maine's obstruction, the crowd once again appeared in Xie Sen's field of vision. He was neither nervous nor afraid, but his face turned red when he thought of his previous actions.

He touched the switch on his ear: "Hello everyone, I'm Xie Sen," he laughed, "I didn't expect there would be so many people today, I was a little scared."

He didn't want to say too much, but for the sake of energy and to maximize the effectiveness of today's activities, it would be much better to say something rather than nothing.

He said sincerely: "When I watched the replay of the Chili Pepper launch conference, I saw the comments that many people wanted to taste the Chili Pepper. When I ate the Chili Pepper for the first time, I was very surprised, so when I have the Chili Pepper, I want more people to taste the Chili Pepper."

"Of course, there were too many spectators on site, so only a few people could actually eat it. I actually thought about holding a lottery in advance and then tasting it indoors. But the charm of food is not just about tasting it, but also about smelling it, so I finally decided to hold the event here, so that even if the audience has never eaten it, they can smell the peppers. I hope to give more people a new experience. I will continue to hold such events if I have the chance in the future."

The audience cheered. Xie Sen smiled, checked the utensils and ingredients, and started cooking.

Soon, the aroma of chili peppers wafted from the stage. Almost all the audience members in the front row smelled such spicy food for the first time. A few people started coughing due to the spiciness, while most people just swallowed their saliva.

They couldn't help but think: This fragrance is so strange, why does it make our saliva uncontrollably secrete when we smell it?

Xie Sen wasn't hungry and didn't want to eat, but when he smelled the spicy food, his reaction was the same as the audience.

The aroma grew stronger, and the audience stretched their necks forward, as if they could taste it. The scene in the pot was played on the wall in front of the stage. The white and tender fish fillet was half-hidden in the fiery red soup, which looked particularly delicious.

“Oh my god, this smells so good!”

"It's so tempting! I'm dying of greed!"

"Smelling this, the unpalatable meat jerky becomes delicious." A young man, his eyes staring straight ahead, holding a palm-sized piece of meat jerky in his hand, chewing it in big bites.

"Young man, give me some. I'm craving for food." The uncle behind him patted his shoulder.

The audiences in the queue next to me also hurriedly said, "Give me some too! How silly! I should have prepared some food earlier. I'll be hungry even if I'm not hungry."

“It’s worth it. Even if I didn’t get a front row seat, it’s worth it just to smell this!”

"Yeah, I've never smelled anything so delicious before. The host is such a nice person!"

As Xie Sen looked at the continuously increasing energy, the corners of his mouth became more and more curved. Delicious food is indeed a good thing.

The boiled fish was quickly cooked, and Maine stepped forward to help, signaling the staff to let the audience on stage. The first audience member was a young boy, who took the fish slice handed over by Maine. After eating it, his face turned red, and he fanned his mouth with his hands, breathing out: "It feels so good!" He asked expectantly, "Can I have another slice?"

Maine refused outright: “No.”

The boy was very disappointed. The staff reminded him to leave the stage from the other side. He was reluctant to leave and said to Xie Sen before leaving the stage: "Anchor, the live broadcast time is too short now, please increase the live broadcast time!"

The mall had very good security, the audience lined up in order, and the entire tasting process went very smoothly.

After finishing the first pot, the audience at the front of the line almost shed tears: "There's only one left, why am I so unlucky!"

The person behind him felt the same way: "Woo woo woo, I want to eat it so much!"

Xie Sen stood aside waiting for the staff to clean up the tables. He was very close to the first row of audience. When he heard what they said, he couldn't help laughing. Is it that exaggerated?

He smiled over there and said, "There's another pot. Just wait a moment."

"Really!" The first audience member jumped up on the spot, raised his hands and shook them left and right excitedly, "Ahhh, that's great, thank God I love you, you are so good!"

Maine stretched out his hand to hold Xie Sen's waist and looked over coldly.

The audience member's body froze after landing, and he raised his hands and waved them wildly in front of him: "Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no improper thoughts about the anchor!"

Loud laughter came from all around. Xie Sen was slightly embarrassed. He patted the back of Maine's hand and whispered, "You are too serious. They are just expressing their emotions."

Maine looked down at him, "I wanted to lock you up so I was the only one who saw it."

Xie Sen suddenly had some inappropriate images in his mind, and poked his face: "Don't let your imagination run wild." He tilted his head and signaled to the audience, "Don't be jealous, there are so many people in the audience shouting your name, you are wearing such a handsome outfit, you must be doing it on purpose!"

Maine was wearing all black today, with Martin boots of the same color on his feet. He looked cool and handsome, and his face made people want to scream.

"I didn't hear it." Maine glanced at his clothes and said, "This will make it easier to fight."

Xie Sen: "...I'm here to cook."

"I'm worried that someone might cause trouble," Maine said.

At this time, the staff said it was ready, Main let go of Xie Sen, and Xie Sen walked to the middle of the table. The fish fillets were placed on the table by the staff. Xie Sen checked the ingredients and started to boil the fish again.

When the second pot of food tasting was halfway through, a drone suddenly flew towards Xie Sen at an extremely fast speed.

Before anyone could react, the sunflower on Xie Sen's left shoulder suddenly grew larger, and an arm-sized sunflower seed collided head-on with it. The trajectory of the sunflower seed drew a black line in the air, and in the blink of an eye, a huge crash was heard.

Then there was another 'bang' sound, and the drone exploded in mid-air. Golden sparks flashed by, and broken debris fell from mid-air.

Xie Sen was shocked. Although the explosion was not loud, if it hit him, he would at least be seriously injured.

However, even if it didn't hit him, he couldn't help but worry, because there were spectators below, and the temperature of the debris was very high at this moment. If it fell on someone, it would definitely burn them.

He reacted instantly, summoning the cabbage and commanding it to expand infinitely to its maximum size and then spread out flat. The huge cabbage spread its petals like a blooming flower, forming a flat circle.

The residue fell onto the petals, scalding the innermost layer, now the top layer, and fell to the next layer. Every time a layer of leaves was scalded, the temperature of the residue dropped a lot. When it reached the third layer, it was caught by the leaves.

It all happened extremely quickly. The audience only saw the out-of-control drone, the enlarged sunflower, the collision and explosion, and then their eyes went dark. A round object with a white center and green edges blocked the sky. In the blink of an eye, the object disappeared and everything returned to calm. There was no trace at all, even the exploded drone disappeared, as if everyone had just been collectively dazzled.

When Xie Sen called back Dabaicai, he was already hugged by Maine.

Maine asked nervously, "Is anything wrong?"

Xie Sen shook his head and rubbed the petals of the sunflower, which had shrunk: "It's okay, Xiaokui is very fast."

Xiaokui twisted the branches, looking very proud.

Maine breathed a sigh of relief and contacted the person in charge of the mall. His voice was very cold: "The attacker is in the building on the right, at the window on the fifth floor. Send someone to catch him!"

He hung up the call, took Xie Sen in his arms and walked backstage: "Let's go back first."

Xie Sen glanced at the audience who were talking about this, and then looked at the buildings on both sides: "I think it should be fine. If there are accomplices, this is the best opportunity to attack. Finish tasting these and then go back."

Maine: "You stand against the wall, I'll do it."

Xie Sen: Standing against the wall, is this a punishment? He and Maine were very close, Maine's body was tense, he was already in alert mode, ready to fight at any time.

Seeing Maine's nervousness, he said nothing, stood behind Maine, away from the audience, and smiled at the audience: "Now continue."

Maine obviously sped up his pace, not giving the audience a chance to speak, and after finishing the fish fillet, he signaled the staff to ask the people to leave.

Soon, the tasting of the second pot was over. Xie Sen said his words of thanks, announced the end of the event, took off his headset, and left with Maine.

The two went directly to the office of the mall manager. In addition to the manager, there were two security guards and a tall fat man lying on the ground in the office.

The person in charge kicked the fat man and said, "The drone is his."

Maine stepped forward and stepped on the fat man's shin bone. A cracking sound was heard the moment his foot stepped on it. The next moment, the fat man howled with his neck tilted back. His voice was particularly shrill. Just by listening to the sound, you could tell that he was in pain.

The person in charge said: "I have asked around, and the people who ran away from the contracted beast dealer gang are the ones whose homes were raided by the military before."

Maine stared at the fat man coldly. The fat man was panting as if he was going to die in the next second. He asked coldly, "Where is your accomplice?"

The fat man shook his head in shock: "No, no."

The person in charge said: "I have watched the surveillance. He came alone and did not contact anyone during the trip. He should have no accomplices. The details need to be investigated by the police. I have already notified the police."

Maine looked at him expressionlessly: "It is said that this is the booth with the strictest security?"

Person in charge: "I'm sorry, this is our negligence. There are many scanners in the mall, and dangerous goods cannot be brought in. The bomb in the drone was homemade by him. He brought the materials in batches and avoided the scanning inspection."

Xie Sen thought to himself, no wonder the power is not that great, fortunately!

The person in charge looked at Xie Sen and said, "Thank you. If you hadn't taken action, many people would have been injured. If there were too many people, injuries would have caused chaos, and the consequences would be unimaginable."

Xie Sen shook his head: "You're welcome, you are my audience after all."

The person in charge said: "In order to make up for our negligence, this time the venue is rented to you for free."

After the talk, the person in charge asked the bodyguards to take them to the parking lot. On the shuttle, Xie Sen received greetings from Bai Jiao and Long Teng. He smiled and said, "We are all fine. We will be back to the apartment soon."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Sen checked his energy value, which was over nine thousand five hundred. It had increased by more than one thousand today!

When he returned to the apartment, Bai Jiao and Long Teng were both at the door. As soon as Long Teng saw him, he asked curiously, "Asen, what kind of flower is that? It's so big and cool!"

Bai Jiao was staring at the screen. When he heard Long Teng's question, he looked at Xie Sen and said hesitantly, "Is it Chinese cabbage?"

Xie Sen moved closer to Bai Jiao's screen, which showed a video of the drone losing control and disappearing. He glanced at the length: one minute, slowed down six times.

Bai Jiao said: "The original video doesn't show the details clearly."

Xie Sen couldn't help but be surprised: "The video came out so quickly?"

Long Teng said: "Of course, the part that A Jiao saw, and the part where Xiao Kui grew bigger, went viral online, and everyone was talking about what happened. It was so cool!"
