Chapter 85: Be Kind to Others
"They only suffered minor injuries. They will be fine after using the medical cabin." Jiufang Yu walked to Qi Huan from behind and deliberately emphasized the three words "minor injuries".
Following him was Bu Fan's accompanying butler, who came close to the glass closest to the medical cabin, as if he wanted to stick his whole body to the glass, looking extremely worried.
After Jiufang Yu's reminder, Qi Huan suddenly realized that Jiujiu's ability seemed to be in the areas of replenishing mental power and controlling and repairing mental images. Even if it was really willing to help, it seemed to have little effect on flesh wounds.
[Yu Yu~ Huan Huan, you are bad.] As soon as the little white ball saw Jiu Fang Yu, he immediately rushed over, sat on Jiu Fang Yu's shoulders with grievance, rubbed his collar and rubbed his neck with his head to complain about Qi Huan.
Unfortunately, Jiufang Yu could not hear his voice, but the person being accused could hear it.
Qi Huan was speechless after hearing this. It was simply the opposite of Tian Gang. How could asking it to save people be considered "bad"? And if he wanted to complain, he could complain. But what was the point of grabbing someone's collar and rubbing against him?
Just when he was considering whether to use the handle Jiujiu to take it back from Jiufang Yu, Lin Jian also walked over quickly.
"How are they?"
"The medical cabin is already in use, so it's not a big problem." Jiufang Yu replied calmly.
"That's good." Lin Jian breathed a sigh of relief. He took out two black glass bottles from his storage bag and handed one to Bu Fan's housekeeper. No one knew what he said, but the housekeeper immediately bowed to him repeatedly, holding the bottle in his hand, in gratitude.
When he came back, he casually stuffed another bottle to Qi Huan and said, "You keep one too. It contains an ointment that can heal bones, heal veins, dissolve dead tissue, and regenerate new flesh. It can also heal old scars."
"Thank you." Qi Huan looked at the extra bottle in his hand. The dark brown ointment inside reminded him of the famous medicine he saw in martial arts dramas when he was a child, the Black Jade Ointment.
But there's nothing written on the bottle.
Jiu Fangyu beside him raised his eyebrows slightly and said a name, "Chun Bi Cream?"
"Master Star Lord really knows what's good." Lin Jian smiled faintly.
"No one can introduce it to me?" Qi Huan shook the bottle in his hand and looked at the two people who were playing charades.
"The ointment secretly made by the elders of the Lin family can only be produced ten bottles a year. It is very effective for external injuries such as broken bones and tendons. If a sentinel is seriously injured in the hands or feet, it is likely to affect the sensitivity of operating the mecha. Using this ointment can ensure that there will be no mistakes after recovery. For the sentinels, it is a one-in-a-million panacea." Jiufang Yu explained.
He only found out about Lin Jian's identity that day after he asked Diwu Yuan to dig deeper. The surname Lin was unremarkable in the alliance, but the Jiang family in the Fifth Star Domain had a branch with the surname Lin who were good at making miraculous medicines. Lin Jian was from that Lin family.
"So expensive?" Qi Huan immediately felt a little embarrassed, hesitating whether to accept it. But there were a lot of sentinels around him, Jiufang Yu's beast team, A Luan, senior, number 2, number 4, and they could easily count more than a dozen of them. Recently, there were beast tides and star beasts coming from time to time. If someone had an accident, this thing could be very useful.
Lin Jian smiled and said, "Take it. This bottle was originally a gift from the elders in my family. I beg you to help us host a sky feast when you are not too busy. You decide the time and the price is negotiable."
"Thank you very much. I will make good arrangements for the Lin family's family banquet later." Qi Huan carefully put the bottle of ointment into his storage bag.
"Your arm was injured before, so you could use some time to recover later," Lin Jian reminded him.
"It would have been more accurate if you said this two months ago. The injury has healed long ago now. There's no need to waste medicine." Qi Huan bumped his arm teasingly.
"You think this is cabbage? Every time I go out, the elders only give me one bottle to keep with me, asking me to be kind and give it to the right person to make friends." Lin Jian touched his nose and looked up at the sky awkwardly. "Usually I sell it directly for travel expenses. When I met you last time, I had spent half of the money."
Qi Huan: ...
"So you and Bu Fan knew each other before?" Seeing that Lin Jian seemed to care about Bu Fan and came to deliver such expensive medicine, Qi Huan was a little surprised. He heard from Diwuyuan that Bu Fan had a bad reputation and almost everyone avoided him.
"No, I just met him on Waste Star this time." Lin Jian shook his head. He caught a glimpse of Qi Huan's eyes and roughly understood his doubts. "He is actually not as bad as the rumors say. Yesterday at the homeless base, I heard him instruct the housekeeper to send 300 high-quality nutritional supplements to those children every month."
Qi Huan was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Bu Fan, the "God of Killing" in the arena, had such a soft side.
"And he didn't care at all when Cuiyi stole his snacks yesterday." Lin Jian added, "Anyway, no matter what others say, I think he is a pretty good person."
"So you gave him the 'Be Kind to Others' spot this time?" Qi Huan nodded in understanding.
"That's right."
"By the way, did anything unexpected happen to you in the hunting area?" Jiufang Yu interrupted their conversation and looked at Lin Jian.
Bu Fan was the third place in the Alliance Mecha Competition. Even if he had no experience in dealing with stone beasts, it would not be difficult for him to save a few people if he unexpectedly encountered a Wind Breath Beast. When the nine-tailed fox spit out earth fire, the Wind Breath Beast could not get close to him at all. Logically speaking, it would not be so embarrassed that it had to go into the medical cabin.
"It's just his nine-tailed fox. It's been quarreling with him, not only refusing to help, but also took away his mecha." Lin Jian said while shaking his head. He had broadened his horizons. Everyone said that Bufan's fox was very powerful. He had never seen how good it was in fighting, but his temper was really terrible.
It was because of this. Jiufang Yu was also a little surprised. After listening to Lin Jian's explanation, he shook his head speechlessly. The spirit body is equivalent to the left and right arms of the sentinel during combat. If the spirit body quarrels with the main body and does not cooperate, it is comparable to a mecha failure.
Can a spiritual being have such a bad temper? After hearing this, Qi Huan suddenly felt that his little white dumpling was much more obedient and adorable. After all, if Jiujiu was angry, he would just go to Jiufang Yu to complain, and the other party would not understand, so he would suffer almost no loss.
At the same time, he felt a little uneasy. After all, the nine-tailed fox was angry because of the snacks he made. The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. He should find a way to help Bu Fan and make him reconcile with his spirit body as soon as possible.
Bu Fan originally came here on his own private starship, but because of his injury, he postponed his return trip for half a day.
Before leaving, Qi Huan mysteriously handed him a fragrant box and motioned him to give it to Qian Zhen to "make peace."
Bu Fan opened the box and saw three nine-tail cakes inside.
In the middle is the proud and noble version of the mythical beast in the original live broadcast room. The one on the left is the one with slightly narrowed eyebrows and a comfortable expression after eating his favorite dish. He looks happy and cute. The one on the right is the one who turned his head away angrily after a fight, and his injured ears and scratched tail are "sticked" with X-shaped tape, and the words "It doesn't hurt" are written with chocolate sauce.
Each one is so delicate, lively and lifelike that Bu Fan is stunned.
The nine-tailed white fox appeared silently on his shoulder, and looked at the three mini versions of itself in the box, with its nine tails shaking with joy.
"All three are yours, is that ok?" Bu Fan pushed the box towards it. The white fox narrowed its eyes and nudged his cheek with the tip of its nose.
Qi Huan's eyes curved. Looking at the little guy's expression, he must have calmed down now, right?
"Thank you for helping me a lot." Bu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Qi Huan, exchanged contact information with him, and took out a walnut-sized dark green pearl pendant from his storage bag and handed it to him, "This is a token of my stay at the Bu family. If you come to the Eighth Star Region in the future, you are welcome to visit the Bu family."
The nine-tailed fox whimpered twice, and Bufan continued, "Qianzhen said that if someone bullies you in the future, use this to call our names. No matter where you are, we will come to help you vent your anger."
The nine-tailed white fox gently shook the pile of tails behind it to show its agreement.
"Thank you~" Qi Huan shook the pendant towards the little fox. The white fox raised its chin proudly, seemingly unmoved, but its tail behind it was wagging even more happily.
After the first Clear Sky Banquet, the reputation of the third best chef in the world completely reversed.
Firstly, Po Zhan, the five-star chef, was there to "notarize" the dish, and he also revealed the master-disciple relationship between the two. With his cooking skills certified by him, what else could be questioned? Secondly, countless viewers in the live broadcast room also watched the production process of each dish. Although it is indeed not detailed to every step, anyone who knows a little about the food industry knows how precious recipes are, so it is completely understandable that they are not fully released. Besides, the dozen people who participated in the Qingkong Banquet were also watching, especially the two who were making a lot of noise. If there was really a problem, they would have jumped up long ago.
All the items on the Qingkong Banquet were sold out in seconds, and the number of fans in the Renjian Foodie live broadcast room skyrocketed again, breaking through the one million mark within six hours after the end, making him the fifth-most popular food anchor on the Baifu platform in terms of the number of fans.
The anticipation for the second table of the Clear Sky Banquet has also increased, with countless people gearing up and eagerly waiting for the six seats to be available next month.
The disturbances on the Star Network did not cause much interference to the Waste Star. After detailed evaluation and comparison, the address of the new base was determined to be Point 3, which is the ruins where the vagrant base is located.
Once the location was determined, all projects were immediately carried out with great vigor and vitality.
The people in the homeless base were resettled in a temporary residential area, and the cleanup team entered the ruins and carried out preliminary preparation work in a hurry.
Qi Huan and his companions boarded a small starship and returned to the ruins of Base No. 3.
Before the new base is completed, the command hall will temporarily be used as the "command center" of the entire waste planet.
As soon as Jiufang Yu came back, he was taken to the fifth floor by the secretary for a meeting. Diwuyuan went to find his uncle. The owner and Senior A Luan said they wanted to go out for a walk, so Qi Huan ran to the cafeteria's kitchen for a stroll.
"Chef!" Atu, Apan and others were busy preparing today's lunch. When they saw Qi Huan, they happily surrounded him.
Qi Huan tasted the dishes that the three people were responsible for one by one, and pointed out some areas that needed improvement. The three of them took note of them carefully.
In fact, Qi Huan treated the three of them as half-apprentices. During the days they were away, the canteen's menu changed every five days, and the recipes were all written by Qi Huan and taught to each of them separately.
Although A Tu and the others still have some shortcomings in their work, they have done their best. With Qi Huan's careful guidance, the things they have produced have been significantly improved compared to the past. In time, they will be able to help take on the responsibility of the canteen.
Naturally they couldn't let the chef go when he returned, and everyone grabbed Qi Huan and asked him to show off his skills. It happened that Qi Huan had written a new menu for the canteen for two days, so he went into the kitchen and cooked a few new dishes. On the one hand, he prepared a special lunch for the people in the kitchen, Wen Liang and others in the sanatorium, and Jiufang Yu and others who were in the meeting. On the other hand, he also took out the menu in advance to teach A Tu and others.
After a busy day of work, the morning time passed by in a flash.
After lunch, Qi Huan was grabbed by Wen Liang to check on his mental training. He thought he had trained well, but when he practiced in front of Wen Liang, he found a lot of problems, from habitual movements, force generation methods to various processing techniques. He had to follow Wen Liang to correct them one by one. By the time he came out of Wen Liang's specially modified guest room, it was already dark outside.
His residence near the Tongling Hall was still Jiufangyu's suite. When he pushed the door open, it was still dark inside. Kong Hu, Diwuyuan and Jiufangyu were all gone.
Qi Huan looked at the empty house and sighed. He was used to the hustle and bustle of the starship every day these days. Except for sleeping and exercising his mental strength, it was rare for him to feel so quiet.
Before he could even get halfway through his melancholy mood, a message popped up on his personal terminal. Rondo and Quan Hai were both asking him in the three-person chat group if he was back and if it was convenient for Fang to come over to see him now.
[Convenient.] Qi Huan immediately told the two of them the room number, and by the way, he left a message for Jiu Fangyu and others, telling them that there would be guests in his room later.
After all, his three roommates have different identities, and a lot of the data they handle are confidential. It would be bad if any misunderstandings occurred.
Rondo arrived first and brought over some homemade side dishes. Qi Huan then went to the cafeteria and brought back a jar of apricot wine he had made earlier, planning to have a good meal with two friends he hadn't seen for a long time.
"By the way, this one's for you first." While Qi Huan was pouring the wine, Rondo handed over another bag that he had been holding in his hand with a serious expression.
"Is it the two-knife chef certificate?"
"Um."
There was a square wooden box in the bag. Qi Huan opened it and took a look. The size and style of the two-knife chef certificate were not much different from the one-knife chef certificate that was hung in the London store. The only difference was that the mini kitchen knife in the middle had become two, and the knife handle had changed from black agate to white agate.
The lining plate underneath was wiped clean, with some scratches and bumps, probably left when it was dug out from the ruins.
The size of the box is not quite suitable. I guess I can’t find anything suitable at the moment, so I can only make do with one temporarily.
"I hope we can all surpass uncle's achievements in the future." Qi Huan patted Rondo's shoulder and put the box into his storage bag.
"You must be able to do it." Rondo grabbed the wine jar next to him and continued to pour wine. "I heard that your Clear Sky Banquet is very popular now. You must give me some advice on these dishes today and help me improve my cooking skills. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to admit that I am your senior brother in the future, and I am afraid of bringing shame to you."
"Really?"
"I have to say it. Now it's just the two of us. I'm not afraid of losing face. Just say it straight."
"Actually, brother, you are mainly too dependent on kitchen utensils and recipes. For example, things like fish and shrimp require great attention to the cooking temperature. Not all specifications are the same if the weight of the ingredients is the same. If the shrimps are smaller, the cooking time should be reduced appropriately, otherwise they will easily become overcooked..." Seeing that Rondo was sincere in seeking advice, Qi Huan pointed out several problems he had noticed when eating the dishes he cooked these past few times.
One of them was talking while the other was listening, and the cooking exchange session was only stopped when Quan Hai came in.
"Why are you covered in dirt?" Qi Huan was surprised to see Quan Hai looking dusty and more like someone who had just returned from a long journey than himself.
"Well, I have signed up for the construction team. Recently, I have to go to the west with the team to dig soil and rocks every day." Quan Hai rushed out of the door, patted his clothes, went to Qi Huan's bathroom to wash his face, and then sat down at the table.
It was only after listening to Rondo's introduction that Qi Huan learned that there was a place with good stone materials to the south of Base No. 3, and the sand on the other side was also good, so a group of people were organized here to chisel stones and dig sand, and then transport them to the new base as building materials.
"We not only dug soil and rocks, we also found treasures!" Quan Hai smiled proudly and raised the wine glass in front of him and clinked glasses with the two men.
"Baby?" Qi Huan and Rondo both widened their eyes with curiosity.
"Maybe not for others, but it should be for you two." Quan Hai deliberately kept the question in suspense and drank the wine in the glass.
"Hurry up and tell me." Rondo kicked his shoes anxiously.
Quan Hai stretched out two fingers and tapped the wine jar beside him. "We found a wine cellar underground when we were digging sand today."
Qi Huan was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood that the abandoned planet was not like this before. The original urban area and scope of Base No. 3 were probably much larger than it is now.
"The energy stones in that wine cellar have been used up a long time ago, but it's still relatively intact. There are still about a hundred jars of wine in it. Our boss even took a few of us to taste some. Just the smell makes me feel drunk, it tastes especially good." Quan Hai shook his head as he recalled the taste.
"Aren't you afraid of being poisonous?" Rondo smacked his lips.
Qi Huan's eyes lit up. The wine that had been stored for such a long time might really be good stuff. He felt that the wine tasted not mellow enough when he cooked Taibai beast meat last time. If there was really an aged wine, it would definitely taste great when cooked into a dish.
"Is there anything in the world that can poison me?" Quan Hai smiled and opened his personal terminal again, "Oh, I have some photos I took at that time."
Qi Huan and Rondo both leaned over to take a look. The camera zoomed in and out, and they could roughly see that it was a rectangular basement. The wine jars were neatly arranged outside, with bamboo strips of uniform thickness used to make partitions.
Quan Hai was flipping through the pictures one by one, and suddenly two corpses lying on the ground jumped out on the screen, scaring Qi Huan and Rondo.
"What the hell?" Rondo was so scared that he almost jumped up.
"Oh, these are the two bodies we found over there when we went to dig the soil yesterday. A-Huan and I both know one of the people, so I took a picture of it."
"I know him?" Qi Huan was stunned, then looked at the photo again. The floral shirt next to him looked familiar.
"It was that Ah Tu. Do you remember? One time when we went to pick up something, the black-haired Ah Shui brought it to us. He was his colleague who worked at the hotel. Later, we went to your store to eat together."
Qi Huan nodded. Yes, he met A Shui before the inauguration ceremony started that day. He also asked about the man with the same name as A Tu from the cafeteria. A Shui said that the man had not been seen the night before.
In the end, this person died outside the base without a sound? Why did he go outside the base?
Qi Huan frowned and looked at the photo, puzzled. His eyes fell on the corpse next to him and he couldn't help but be stunned again.
The man was about forty years old, with short brown hair and a short beard around his lips.
This person seems to be the missing leader of the nomad base!
