Chapter 9 (Catching Bugs)
Tuanzi Butler came out of the aircraft, looked at the players on the scene and said:
"As long as the warriors pass the Star Lord's test, they can get a free seasoning pack."
As soon as the word "test" was uttered, the faces of several players present fell. Who knew what difficult questions the other party would ask?
But then he thought that this should be a game task, and he felt happy. Nothing could embarrass them as players!
Even if it means going through fire and water, I will do it!
Thinking of this, they all pricked up their ears to listen to what Tuanzi, the housekeeper, said.
"Now it's time to show off your culinary skills. All you need is the Star Master's approval."
Several players couldn't help but blurt out: "Huh? It's so easy? I can do it!"
Just then a task panel popped up in front of them.
[Task: Show your cooking skills to the Star Lord.
Requirements: Need to be approved by the Star Master.
Rewards: 1 seasoning packet, random favorability of the Star Lord.]
[Do you want to accept?]
The players at the scene were not fools. They all clicked to confirm, and their favorability towards Star Wars grew stronger and stronger.
They felt that they were truly involved in the game process, and their every move would lead to a different direction. For example, changing the seasoning could trigger a task, which was something they had not expected.
They know how rare it is to gain favorability in the game. Although favorability may seem elusive, it can influence players to accept tasks.
Thinking of this, they became impatient and stared at the housekeeper Tuanzi in unison, watching him take out a large bundle of shepherd's purse from his stomach, which made them a little confused.
Shuang Lin said uncertainly: "This seems to be a wild vegetable."
"I've eaten it. It's a kind of wild vegetable called shepherd's purse." Xiaojudeng replied, and then watched a middle-aged man move a folding table over. They were very interested in this newly appeared NPC, but they held back as they were still on a mission.
When Tuanzi the butler saw Ada set the table, he put the shepherd's purse on it, then rummaged through his stomach and took out a few small bottles, then stopped.
The four players at the scene couldn't help but ask:
"Butler Tuanzi, do you have no other ingredients?"
"The Star Lord believes that you can use the simplest and most unpretentious ingredients to create the most exquisite delicacies." Tuanzi Butler replied, and then gave his seat to the players.
"Have you ever heard that a good cook cannot cook without rice?"
"Never heard of it." Tuanzi Butler said coldly, then closed his eyes.
Xue Luo and the other three could only stare at the shepherd's purse on the table and think hard, but they really couldn't think of anything to do with it.
Cheng Hui took the initiative and put the washed vegetables in the pot to cook casually, then sprinkled several spoonfuls of salt. Lin Luo was glad that he had been staring at the monitor, because he would not eat this dish!
Xue Luo followed closely behind, cutting the shepherd's purse neatly, then stir-frying it in a pan and finally serving it on a plate. Lin Luo watched her skillful movements through the monitor and nodded, feeling that it should taste good.
Next to him, Shuang Lin made a dish of shepherd's purse, which looked pretty good.
Little Orange Lantern stood on a chair and waved his tiny arms constantly, stirring the shepherd's purse in the pot with a spatula, then added sugar and vinegar and stir-fried it for a while before putting it on a plate.
Lin Luo saw that they had all stopped moving, so he stood up and walked out of the aircraft. He smiled as he smelled the fragrance in the air. Butler Tuanzi also moved a chair over and asked Lin Luo to sit on it.
Logically speaking, there are tables and chairs placed in front of the wasteland, in front of which are houses of various shapes and a bit shabby, and behind which is an endless wasteland covered with weeds. This scene looks so desolate and shabby no matter how you look at it, but the whole picture changes as soon as Lin Luo sits down. He makes the whole picture look colorful and gorgeous.
The few people at the scene completely ignored the strange background and shifted their attention to Lin Luo. They listened to him say a few words of thanks and watched him nervously pick up the chopsticks.
Lin Luo took a bite of the stir-fried shepherd's purse made by Xue Luo. He had only one feeling, that is, it was too sweet. He almost couldn't maintain his dignity as the star lord. Fortunately, compared with the unpalatable nutrient solution, what Xue Luo made was not particularly unpalatable.
Lin Luo swallowed the shepherd's purse expressionlessly, then picked up the clear water shepherd's purse made by Shuang Lin with his trembling hands. This was a little beyond his expectations, and it also made him breathe a sigh of relief, and then he nodded.
The shepherd's purse made by Shuanglin is tender but not overripe, with just the right amount of saltiness, and the shepherd's purse soup tastes very delicious.
Afterwards, under Cheng Hui's fiery gaze, he gritted his teeth and picked up the stir-fried shepherd's purse that he had made. His pupils couldn't help but dilate, and Lin Luo's chewing speed slowed down, and then he sped up and swallowed the shepherd's purse in his mouth.
Cheng Hui looked at Lin Luo's expressionless face, unsure of his attitude. But the next second, a message popped up in front of him: [Lin Luo's Favorability -2], which made him grimace.
Then, under Cheng Hui's disappointed eyes, he picked up the dish made by Xiao Judeng. Compared with Xue Luo Cheng Hui's, his cooking was pretty good, but compared with Shuang Lin's, it was a bit mediocre.
Because resources were limited, Lin Luo could only choose one person. He stood up and said, "Congratulations to the Frostfall Warrior for passing the test. You will receive a seasoning packet. As for the others, keep up the good work."
Although Xiaojudeng didn't get the seasoning packet, he got 2 points of favorability from Lin Luo, Shuanglin got 5 points of favorability, Xueluo got -1 point of favorability, and Cheng Hui was the worst off. There was nothing he could do about it because he added salt crazily and didn't know how to save.
Just as Lin Luo was about to leave, Shuang Lin said:
"Could you please leave the Star Lord seasoning packet with you for a while? I'll pick it up tomorrow."
After completing this task, they didn't have enough online time, so they had to deal with the rabbit tomorrow. For the safety of the seasoning package, he planned to put it in the safest place, and they also planned to store the rabbit here.
"Okay, remember to pick it up tomorrow." After Lin Luo said that, he entered the aircraft. Xue Luo, Shuang Lin and the other three also logged off.
After Shuang Lin went offline, he posted the video recorded by the built-in video recorder on his own Moyin. He is a game enthusiast and has more than 8,000 fans on Moyin.
Although the number of fans is not large, each video basically has two to three hundred comments, and today the number of comments has reached 500.
Handsome guys are always very eye-catching in any era, let alone a cool big boy like Lin Luo.
The video of him flying through the air on a skateboard immediately attracted a lot of comments.
-What game is this NPC from? He's so handsome! Is he real?
-It seems to be called Star Wars.
-I want to fly too, hehe.
-After watching another video posted by the anchor, I felt that this game was quite interesting, especially the scene where the rabbit kicked the player away. I felt so sorry for him, hahahaha.
-You have to admit that a small boss is quite smart and even knows how to play dead. This game company is quite serious.
-What the hell is he serious about? He made his official website look like such a shitty thing and he still thinks he’s serious about it. I’m speechless.
-Uh, it's really ugly, I'm blind.
Shuang Lin's video was constantly commented and liked by netizens, and soon became popular on Moyin, gaining more attention.
Although many people think that a game made by an unknown studio is a huge pit, there is always one person out of a hundred who is very interested in it, and the netizen "Big Eyed Cute Girl" is one of them.
She also searched for Star Wars specifically, and thus found videos posted by other players. She watched Liu Xun dig a hole and bury himself, and watched several strange-looking puppets weave a straw house for herself. It turned out that a house-building game could have so many ways to complete it.
She felt that the NPC was very intelligent, not mechanical. The white belly and round head of this dumpling housekeeper made her feel very cute.
Then she looked through other videos and completely became a fan of Star Wars. Unfortunately, there were only 10 spots available for the internal test, which made her a little melancholy. She didn't know how long it would take for the second test to be open.
…
Xue Luo logged into the game in the early morning. As soon as she came online, she heard a series of "boom boom boom" sounds and black smoke and flames in the distance. She was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.
