Xin Sui: "Put in the freshly chopped green onions, a spoonful of sesame oil, and a large spoonful of cooking wine. Stir-fry evenly and it's ready to serve."
Soon after, three steaming bowls of noodles with soybean paste were served.
The noodles are drizzled with a fragrant, oily sauce, and topped with side dishes such as shredded green cucumber (instead of cucumber), pea leaves, and crushed peanuts.
It looks delicious.
Compared to the burnt dishes from before, and looking at the three bowls of noodles in front of him that were perfect in color, aroma and taste, Xuan Tu felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.
Seeing Xiaoming standing by the bowl, scooping up noodles with both hands and eating them like a little cat, made him even happier, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
[Major villain's corruption value -2]
[Host, you weren't lying to me after all! The villain's corruption level has actually dropped by 2 points! You win.]
Although the bet was lost, the system's voice sounded cheerful.
"Yes, congratulations. I've already thought about the reward for the next mission. I want something that can shield against psychic attacks."
Crimson Frost's special ability is soul-capturing.
It belongs to the mental ability category.
If Chi Shuang were to use her powers on her, she would answer whatever Chi Shuang asked and do whatever Chi Shuang asked her to do.
It's terrifying to even think about.
Therefore, the first step to killing Crimson Frost is to ensure that you are not attacked by her supernatural abilities.
Otherwise, everything you do will be in vain; one look from her and you'll be forced to kneel.
In addition, she wanted this reward not only to guard against Crimson Frost.
Superpowers in the apocalypse are incredibly diverse, but the most unpredictable and difficult to guard against are mental superpowers, which can easily catch you off guard.
Therefore, she needs to plan ahead and make preparations in advance.
[no problem. ]
The system agreed readily.
Xin Sui picked up a mouthful of noodles and put it in her mouth. Mmm, it tasted pretty good. No wonder it was made under her guidance.
However, Xuan Tu frowned after tasting the noodles he made.
The joy I felt earlier had faded somewhat.
He still couldn't taste the flavor.
Is it possible that only food made by Xin Sui can restore his sense of taste?
Xuan Tu glanced deeply at the woman across from him who was eating noodles with her head down, and finished the bowl of noodles without changing his expression.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
These days, Xin Sui teaches Xuan Tu to cook a dish every few days.
Not only did she get Xuan Tu to cook for her, but she also no longer had to lift a finger.
In addition, he completed several other tasks, which reduced Xuantu's corruption value by 5 points and earned him satisfactory rewards.
For example, the Soul-Stabilizing Pill—after consuming it, the soul becomes more condensed and stable, and immune to mental superpowers.
For example, free access to water within the villa, etc.
Being able to customize rewards feels amazing.
Just as Xin Sui completed another mission—a walk with the main villain after dinner—the system informed her:
[The male lead, Shui Duoduo, has arrived.]
On the sea, a giant sand turtle was sailing swiftly, cutting through the waves towards Turtle Island.
The sand turtle is a mutated turtle that lives in the desert and can move swiftly and freely in the sand.
But it still works in the water.
Therefore, they were often domesticated as mounts for both sea and sand use.
On the back of this sand turtle, which is as large as a cruise ship, sits a three-story building with a layout similar to a ship before the apocalypse.
Needless to say, the guests on the top floor are all wealthy people.
The accommodations, food, and drinks are all top-notch.
The guests on the lowest floor live in tiny cubicles, which may not even have windows.
Even in such a cubicle, the ticket price is as high as 50 crystal coins.
Shui Duoduo was lucky; she bought a cubicle with a window.
There are two small beds inside, one for him and one for his sister, with a bedside table in between to separate them. They can draw the curtains when they sleep.
This is already a very good condition for the brother and sister who grew up in the slums.
There's nothing to criticize.
As for Shui Duoduo, although he was reborn and had enjoyed everything he should have in his previous life, he felt that living in a cubicle was not unbearable at all now that he had been reborn with his family. In fact, he was quite happy about it.
I would occasionally describe to my sister the marine life swimming by outside the window.
The siblings enjoyed their trip quite a bit overall.
As the outline of Turtle Island came into view, Shui Qingqing leaned against the window and excitedly shouted to her younger brother, "Duoduo, look! Turtle Island! We're almost there!"
Shui Duoduo looked in the direction her sister pointed and nodded with a smile: "Yes, we're almost there."
Suddenly, a large fish burst out of the water.
It rose higher and higher, rising continuously until it completely blocked the sand turtle from its shadow.
The sand turtle, which was originally quite large, suddenly looked small and cute compared to this enormous fish.
From the building on the sand turtle's back, screams of fear echoed one after another.
Shui Qingqing also opened her eyes wide in horror, barely able to utter a sound.
Shui Duoduo hurriedly said, "Sister, this is a waterfall whale. It doesn't eat people; it just likes to play pranks."
Shui Qingqing had already learned how knowledgeable her younger brother was along the way, and upon hearing this, she immediately relaxed a lot.
"That's good, that's good. That really scared me to death. I thought it was going to swallow us all whole. But what do you mean by saying it likes to play pranks?"
As if to confirm Shui Qingqing's words, jets of water suddenly shot out from the holes on both sides of the waterfall whale's body.
The water columns merged together, like two huge waterfalls cascading down from mid-air with a thunderous roar.
The key point is that this waterfall whale specifically chased after the sand turtles to release water.
So the sand turtle got thoroughly drenched, receiving a free "heavenly bath".
Those who were originally outside the room also suffered, some even being swept into the sea.
Shui Qingqing: "..."
Now she finally understood what was going on.
But thinking about it, it's actually quite exciting and fun.
Shui Duoduo added, "Bright City regularly sends people to clear dangerous creatures from the shipping lanes, so you don't need to worry, sister."
This sentence is practically a flag, and it was set by Shui Duoduo, the male lead.
Soon after, the real danger arrived.
As the sand turtles paused to wait for the people who had fallen into the water to come ashore, a pale blue box jellyfish approached with seemingly slow but actually lightning-fast speed.
The jellyfish's body is covered with many mysterious geometric patterns, and it is not very large, even smaller than a sand turtle.
However, it is a top predator in the sea, inspiring fear in fish.
Because it is so poisonous—a single drop of its venom can kill a large creature like a waterfall whale—it is known as the "death jellyfish."
Just as the last person returned to the sand turtle's back, the dead jellyfish appeared behind the turtle, its tentacles wrapping around its tail and releasing venom.
"Lord, a dead jellyfish has appeared in the southern shipping lane and is attacking a sand turtle with a capacity of 3,000 passengers."
Upon receiving the news, Chi Shuang quickly reported it to Xuan Tu.
