Chapter 229 The Delicious Smell of Food
Zhao Shuying: "Are you sure it's this one? If you are, I'll lock it for you first, and then we can discuss the details."
Su Yitong: "Are you sure you can't detect any other skills it has?"
Zhao Shuying sent a message to the bureau to help Su Yitong lock onto the Koala Green Wine, and at the same time explained: "Even the most powerful detection skills cannot detect it, because the skills that everyone knows are not displayed on the panel, so they are not within the detection range of detection skills at all."
Su Yitong then asked, "Have you discovered Tu Lan's innate skills?"
Zhao Shuying thought of the earring she had just repaired: "...No."
As they spoke, Zhao Shuying had already locked onto the exotic beast that Su Yitong wanted; now, the main event was about to begin.
Zhao Shuying's expression turned serious: "I can help you contract the koala, but we need you to add 100 more repetitions of the Hymn of Hope."
Su Yitong: "Koala is only level 11 and her talent is only A-level. Moreover, you also bear some responsibility for the fact that Black Jade was stolen from her."
Zhao Shuying: "Is it my responsibility to help you escape this predicament?"
Su Yitong: "The result is indeed in my favor, but that does not erase the fact that you failed in your duties."
The two went back and forth, and Zhao Xianyin and Wu Qingbai didn't even dare to breathe too loudly, for fear that if they made any noise, the two of them would use them as a way to ease the tension.
Finally, both sides compromised, and Su Yitong agreed to add 65 more times, which, together with the previous 300 times, would make a full year.
Zhao Shuying: "388 is great, it's auspicious."
Su Yitong: "318 is more auspicious."
Zhao Shuying: "Okay, I'll listen to you and make it a whole year. But I have another question. Since we're going to make it a whole year, why not make it a leap year? Leap year is 366."
Su Yitong: "……………………"
Su Yitong gritted her teeth and asked, "65 times! Sign it or not?! If you don't, I'm leaving!"
Seeing that she was pushing him too far if she continued, Zhao Shuying had no choice but to give up regretfully: "Alright, alright, 365 days it is~ We're all acquaintances, so let's not fuss over a day or two."
Su Yitong: "..."
Zhao Xianyin hesitated for a moment, but after Su Yitong left, she took Zhao Shuying's hand, pulled her sister along, and asked with a serious expression, "How many people know that I am your biological sister?"
Zhao Shuying gave a kind smile: "Everyone knows that you should hurry up and level up."
Zhao Xianyin: "..."
Wu Qingbo: Luckily, he learned his lesson today and didn't say anything, otherwise he would have been furious.
...
While Zhao Shuying and Su Yitong were negotiating, Yu Xunge was learning the basics of cooking from Fan Xiangxiang... ah, no, from her grandmother.
After learning that Yu Xunge wanted to practice her cooking skills, Shen Yushi asked her to cook a dish for him to see.
In order to prevent the dish from scoring above 80, Yu Xunge picked and chose from the cooking recipes she knew, selecting a difficult one, and finally only managed to score 76.
After tasting the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish made by Yu Xunge, Shen Yushi didn't scold her. Instead, he assigned her a lot of basic skills homework.
One-third of the task involved chopping vegetables, and the other third involved seasoning and temperature control. Shen Yushi only assigned these two tasks as homework, leaving Yu Xunge to practice at home. During her stay in City B, Yu Xunge needed to learn the most crucial lesson from her—how to select ingredients, spices, and seasonings.
So starting from the morning of the 18th, Yu Xunge followed Shen Yushi as he wandered through the streets and alleys.
During this time, Lu Qieyun, Yu Cha'an, and two other people whom Yu Xunge had never met before followed them the whole time. These people were responsible for protecting Shen Yushi.
Yu Xunge didn't know if these people had protected Shen Yushi in her past life. Many things were gradually different from what she remembered. At least in her past life, Yi Qiuguo and Yu Qingshan didn't have a third child, and they never came to City B.
Over the years, Shen Yushi's nickname has remained unchanged. When she and Shen Yushi go out, the old ladies and gentlemen they meet will call Shen Yushi "Xiangxiang," and those who are closer to her will call her "Fanxiangxiang."
"Xiangxiang, are you going out to buy groceries?"
"Xiangxiang, your granddaughter has come to see you?"
"The food smells delicious! What dishes are we making today?"
"The food smells delicious. Are you selling the dishes I made today? My son and daughter just sent me some game coins."
When they were little, it was the same. Shen Yushi would hold her hand, and she would hold Yu Xunhuan's hand, the three of them forming a line. Yi Qiuguo would jog ahead and take pictures of the three of them with her phone.
People would greet Shen Yushi like that back then, as if no one disliked Fan Xiangxiang, as if no one didn't know Fan Xiangxiang, to the point that for a long time Yu Xunge thought her grandmother's surname was Fan and her name was Xiangxiang.
According to Yi Qiuguo, Yu Xunge once made a fuss about changing her name to Cai Xiangxiang when she was a child—Yu Xunge would never admit that she was that stupid when she was a child.
Finally out of the alley, and with no one greeting them anymore, Tu Lan said to Shen Yushi, "So your name is Fan Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang, your shumai is super delicious."
Yu Xunge: "...How old are you? How old is my grandma? How dare you call her Xiangxiang?"
Tu Lan: "Alright then, Xiangxiang sister."
Yu Xunge clenched his fist at Tu Lan and asked, "Are you going through puberty?"
Shen Yushi was amused by the silly dragon and casually took out a basket of 100-point shumai and handed it to Tu Lan: "Take this and eat it. Just call me Grandma, like Xun Ge does."
Tu Lan grabbed the shumai and flew into the air, saying, "Thank you, Grandma."
Yu Xunge: "..." She thought back to when she first met Tu Lan, and the dragon had the same adorable face back then...
During her meal break, Yu Xunge inquired about the Blank Crystal. She hadn't forgotten that she still needed to send herself the skill crystal "We're not familiar, but it's okay" on the morning of the 15th.
Unfortunately, this thing is indeed under control.
Zhao Shuying was out of stock, saying she had already used up her quota. If Yu Xunge wanted it, she would have to wait until next month. Blank skill crystals were being strictly controlled recently, so there was nothing she could do.
Therefore, Yu Xunge had no choice but to set his sights on Lu Qieyun and the others.
Then she learned that not only was the control of blank crystals strictly enforced by the Special Affairs Bureau of S City, but the same was true in B City. It could be said that this regulation was initially promoted in B City, and even many other Special Affairs Bureaus did not understand why such a regulation existed.
Not only do the buying and selling of blank crystals require registration, but players in the Special Affairs Bureau are also warned not to sell their skills to others through skill crystals.
Lu Qieyun was about to say something polite, but after glancing at Shen Yushi beside her, and then at Yu Xunge and Tu Lan who was eating by the cola, she explained seriously, "Because something happened before, one of our players here has a very special skill that can save his life. He's happy to sell his skill, and everyone likes to buy from him. But one day, he discovered that his skill had disappeared..."
