Chef No. 1, Chef No. 2... They haven't arrived at the cooking place yet, but more than ten canteen chefs are all gathered in the canteen.

Don't ask.

The problem is that with fewer people, the speed of producing food cannot keep up with the speed of consumption.

"My goodness! If the deputy captain hadn't transferred back a large amount of supplies a few days ago, there wouldn't be enough food." Chef No. 1 wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Qiao Bai with horror as he was outside with a group of pets finishing off the food.

Chef No. 2 lifted his apron and fanned the sweat off his forehead: "Haha, not only that, the kitchen staff even pulled those who were in training over to help with the food preparation."

Otherwise, you can’t keep up with the speed at which food is consumed!

The chefs nearby nodded repeatedly with lingering fear.

Who could have thought of that?

The skills they had honed over and over again to set timed attacks and never let their soldiers go hungry were almost thwarted by Professor Qiao Bai.

oh.

The main reason is that the jellyfish is too greedy.

In front of him was a gluttonous little jellyfish, and behind him was a group of people looking at him gloomily: "..."

What could he do? He was also desperate? Qiao Bai held Xiao Wu in his arms, staring blankly at the pile of pots and pans around him that were clean without even a drop of soup left. He occasionally touched the hair of Xiao Wu that was almost eaten by the jellyfish, and thought to himself with a smile:

Are you eating clean?

Can it reduce the trouble of washing dishes?

It doesn't seem to decrease much.

There must be some psychological barriers to reusing without washing.

Qiao Bai let out a long sigh in his heart.

Bald head.

Really bald.

The little jellyfish triggered the hunger buff, just like the previous feeling of fullness, it could not be interfered with, and it could not be interfered with from the outside at all.

The little jellyfish went berserk on the spot, wanting to take a bite of everything it saw.

Including but not limited to Xiaowu, Maomaochong, Xiaobaishe and Qiaobai.

The problem is - I can’t eat enough, I can’t eat enough at all, it’s useless to eat more.

But having something to eat is better than having nothing to eat.

Qiao Bai acted promptly, coaxed the little jellyfish with the snacks in his hand, and rushed to the cafeteria as soon as possible.

There was a period of chaos and disorder.

Things can finally calm down - especially Qiao Bai.

I sat aside and watched the little jellyfish, knowing it was useless, but I still couldn't help eating them.

It was a difficult hour... but it's finally over.

The first thing Qiao Bai did was to turn on his talent skill and look at the little jellyfish to see if there were any strange special conditions on its body.

Fortunately, it's over.

The special status is gone.

[Blood Concentration] increased from 7% to 11.8%, an increase of 4.8%.

Qiao Bai touched his chin.

Hmm...he thought the small jellyfish could reach the limit of 6.5%.

Although this data is quite good, it should be noted that the little jellyfish has absorbed mythical energy. It should not be too difficult for the little jellyfish to maximize the effect of this potion, right? However, he was barely satisfied with this result.

After hearing the news from the cafeteria, Lin Wentian, who finally arrived late, said: "?"

For some reason, Lin Wentian subconsciously shuddered all over, his back felt cold, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

kindness.

It should be that Lao Zhao has been talking about him behind his back again. After returning, he will cooperate with Lao Zhang and continue to add work for Lao Zhao.

Anyway, those jobs were originally what Zhao Yan, as the team leader, should do.

The pot came from the sky. Zhao Yan: Hmm?

"Professor Qiao Bai, what are you doing..." Those thoughts just flashed through Lin Wentian's mind, without taking up too much thinking space.

Lin Wentian looked at the pots, pans, and utensils that filled the dozen or so long tables centered around the little jellyfish, his eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement that could not be concealed at all.

no?

What's going on? Could it be that? Lin Wentian subconsciously thought of how much the little jellyfish ate.

Whether it was when Qiao Bai first arrived or when they were resisting the beast tide, Lin Wentian saw it clearly.

I can eat. I can eat a lot.

But isn't this a bit too much to eat?

"Besides... shouldn't you be full?" Lin Wentian was talking about the beast tide.

Qiao Bai’s wishes are one thing, but it is impossible for Lin Wentian to really ignore Qiao Bai throughout the whole process. He himself cannot do it.

Just don’t pay attention.

Once you pay attention...

Lin Wentian subconsciously recalled the scene he had seen.

The abilities displayed by Qiao Bai far exceeded his imagination.

powerful.

What shocked Lin Wentian even more was Qiao Bai's adaptability to this kind of large-scale confrontation - you know, many new recruits who have been specially trained for more than a year may not be able to show such strong adaptability as Qiao Bai.

It was as if Qiao Bai was born to live in this kind of environment, constantly fighting. No matter how many ferocious supernatural creatures he faced, Qiao Bai would not retreat or be afraid.

Lin Wentian was really moved and wanted to keep Qiao Bai.

It's perfect for their Fourth Legion.

When I thought about Qiao Bai's identity as a pet professor... I felt dispirited.

Why.

It’s such a pity.

But what can we do?

Unexpectedly, when he turned around again, Lin Wentian looked at the little jellyfish lying flat on the ground and the look of "saved" from the kitchen. He secretly made a small calculation in his heart, that is, is it possible...

"I gave the little jellyfish a potion." Qiao Bai did not hide it.

Pointing in the direction of the little jellyfish, Qiao Bai said with a headache on his face: "And then it seems that there was an adverse reaction?"

Lin Wentian understood what happened instantly, and rubbed his forehead with a headache on his face.

"Ah... I forgot to remind you..." Lin Wentian came back to his senses and thought carefully and found that it seemed, perhaps, possibly, that this was really a problem that he had not notified enough?

Lin Wentian sighed, "After taking the medicine, pets usually do have some special reactions, most commonly like drinking too much and going crazy."

"But this kind of..." As Lin Wentian spoke, his gaze once again swept across those empty, clean dishes that looked as if they had been washed once.

Lin Wentian swallowed and said, "It's the first time I see you."

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart - Ah, it really is worthy of being Professor Qiao Bai's pet. Its reaction after taking the potion is different from other pets.

The main point is to stand out from the crowd, right?

In an instant, Lin Wentian felt a little curious. How much had the blood concentration of the little jellyfish increased?

Judging from this, it should be close to 1%?

I don’t know what bloodline the little jellyfish has, and how much its strength will increase after the upgrade.

I am already eating a lot now. If I could eat even more... this would be just like a nightmare.

It’s not easy for Professor Qiao Bai to raise a pet! Lin Wentian gave Qiao Bai a sympathetic look.

Qiao Bai inexplicably received a signal from Lin Wentian: “…”

I don't want such sympathy.

The effect of the medicine is quite good, but Qiao Bai also plans to take it slow first, well, little jellyfish, take it slow.

Let Xiao Wu use it next!

Xiao Wu:? ·△·? Just then.

Qiao Bai noticed that his cell phone was vibrating.

He looked down and saw that it was not a message from the "angel", but a message from Huangzhou.

Qiao Bai: “?”

If there is nothing, President Huangzhou will not contact him casually. Qiao Bai frowned, so what is the situation? Scrolling down, Qiao Bai's brows frowned a little bit and looked at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu tilted his head again and curiously looked towards Qiao Bai's phone.

Xiao Wu: I saw 0v0 Xiao Wu: I don’t understand QvQ “What’s wrong?” Lin Wentian on the side also noticed that something seemed to be wrong, he asked softly.

"It seems like something happened in Yancheng." Qiao Bai hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you everyone in the cafeteria today."

As he spoke, Qiao Bai stood up, holding the little jellyfish, and turned to look gratefully at the chefs in the kitchen, as well as the people in the cooking team who were busy helping to wash and prepare the vegetables.

"It's okay, it's okay, this is what we should do!"

"That's right! This time, it's all thanks to Professor Qiao Bai for your help! We can't thank you enough!"

"Professor Qiao Bai, please don't be polite with us! If your pet still wants to eat, we can continue... cough cough! Poof!"

The last person hadn't even finished his words when he was hit in the stomach by an elbow from his companion.

Seeing this, Qiao Bai couldn't help laughing out loud.

It's quite interesting.

"In the short term... well, probably not." Qiao Bai said, not quite sure himself.

The little jellyfish uses the potion and waits a little longer.

Regardless of whether the little jellyfish has suffered psychological trauma, Qiao Bai is about to suffer psychological trauma.

The little jellyfish with the red-eye special effects turned on can really eat anything. If it weren't for his quick reaction, a rated movie would have been staged in minutes.

Lin Wentian looked at Qiao Bai's departing back and was a little concerned about what Qiao Bai said about the incident in Yancheng.

Yancheng... Lin Wentian recalled.

If he remembered correctly, this seemed to be a fairly ordinary third-tier city, right? The only special thing about it was that it was relatively close to the forbidden area.

However, because Yancheng is not large enough, and the provincial capital Hongtu City also borders the forbidden land, the authority of the forbidden land was divided into Hongtu City.

The forbidden area of ​​Red Earth City is very popular among beastmasters from several surrounding cities.

Because there are a series of special resources in the forbidden land of Red Soil City - red ore, red rock crystal, red stone, and red soil.

This series of resources is very suitable for pet beasts to use for physical training. Depending on the level of the resources, even an eighth-level pet beast can use them to increase the pet beast's physique.

Resource levels range from high to low, with laterite being the most common.

The provincial capital city, Hongtu City, got its name from this.

People come and go in Hongtu City, all of them are beastmasters who come to obtain the red soil resources. In terms of finance, Hongtu City is one of the best among the surrounding cities. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a big eater of meat.

Compared with Hongtu City, Yancheng is much more bleak.

It is obviously very close to this forbidden land known as the "Red Soil Secret Realm" by the outside world, but its own innate strength is insufficient and there is a neighbor nearby with better conditions.

Hongtu City ate the meat with big mouthfuls, while Yancheng just followed behind and drank a few sips of soup at most.

Normally, because there is not enough space to live near Hongtu City, beastmasters would take a step back and choose to temporarily live in Yancheng.

These were all complaints made by a friend of Lin Wentian who had been stationed at the grassroots level in Yancheng for several years. At the time, they were just chatting casually because they were drunk. If Qiao Bai hadn't mentioned Yancheng today, Lin Wentian would have thought that he had forgotten these not-so-important memories.

So, what could happen in Yancheng?

After returning to the dormitory, Qiao Bai clicked on the message sent by Huang Zhou.

First, a video.

Qiao Bai clicked it.

The footage was very chaotic, with only the first three seconds or so being stable, during which a faint mist could be seen. Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment before he realized instantly - it was the fog inside the forbidden land.

This should be a video of the expedition team exploring the forbidden land? The subsequent shots are all blurry. Not only blurry, but the camera looks like it was thrown into a washing machine, flipping 360 degrees, rotating, and swinging up and down.

But it's not like that when you listen to the sound.

"... Fire? How can there be fire?"

"Run! Run!"

“Don’t stop…!”

The sounds were mixed together in a mess and no useful information could be extracted.

Qiao Bai could only guess based on the information revealed in the video that this expedition team must have encountered a very dangerous situation and recorded this video while continuing to run.

Along with an unknown golden-red existence, the video screen suddenly went black.

Qiao Bai: “?”

I don't understand why.

I'm confused.

What happened? He sent a question mark to Huangzhou.

Huangzhou seemed to be looking at his phone. When he saw the question mark sent by Qiao Bai, he immediately made a video call to Qiao Bai.

"What's with that video? What happened in Yancheng?"

Qiao Bai went straight to the point right away.

Huang Zhou was sweating from Qiao Bai's series of questions. He wiped the sweat off his face and continued, "Didn't something happen... Hey!"

Then Huangzhou briefly told Qiao Bai about the situation in the forbidden area of ​​Hongtu City.

"Red soil resources are already in short supply, and the Red Soil City Beast Taming Alliance has been trying to expand more suitable safe areas. After all, the Red Soil Secret Realm is considered the leading industry in Red Soil City."

External red soil resources are becoming increasingly scarce.

Red ore, red rock crystal, red stone and red soil are all non-renewable resources. There is no other way except to continue exploring Red Soil City.

"Then three expedition teams went to explore a mountain together. If they were lucky, they might find a lot of red ore, but unexpectedly..."

Huang Zhou rubbed his forehead.

Qiao Bai understood what he meant, and after watching the video he knew how bad the situation was.

But... "Red Earth City is a forbidden place? What does that have to do with Yancheng?"

"At the same time as these people were having problems, most of the residents of Yancheng fell into a high fever and have not woken up yet."

Qiao Bai: “…”

Don't tell me.

This Yancheng is quite unlucky.

They didn't get any good things at all, and all the bad things fell on them.

"Although Yancheng is only a third-tier city, it has millions of residents. Half of them have a high fever..." Huangzhou frowned. Wouldn't this matter become a big deal in an instant?
