Chapter 160 The taste is so pure that it's stupid
160.
In a big eater food competition, what matters is the amount of food.
This requires a big-bodied spell, the kind that, in your perceptual filter, is a high-protein, high-calorie food—a spell that looks like a steak or hamburger.
What cursed spirit were you looking for in the first round... You sat on the back of Mirai Hat, looking at the small woods on the ground, your mind gradually became empty, Ababa Ababa I forgot, maybe it was in this direction?
"Hey... Nanami, is there something in the sky?" Huihara Yu, who was walking below, looked up. When he saw a big white bird flying in the sky, his eyes instantly turned into stars. "Nanami Nanami, it's the Tokyo Tokaido!"
Nanami Kento, who had to come to a remote mountain area for a mission, lifted up his backpack containing a knife, revealing a deadly intention of being forced to work overtime: "This has nothing to do with the mission."
Hurry up and remove the mission curse and go back.
"You're right!" Huihara Yu retracted his gaze and smiled brightly at Nanami Kento, "The seniors are all working hard, so we have to work harder too!"
Seeing his energetic classmates rushing ahead, Nanami Kento sighed and resigned himself to following.
This mission was not difficult for a freshman, it was just to remove a second-level cursed spirit.
But in such a remote place, there would be a Level 2 cursed spirit... Nanami Kento felt something was not right. Was it born from the emotions of the nearby villagers? According to past experience, shouldn't it be a Level 3 cursed spirit or below?
Without a constant supply of emotions, the cursed spirit cannot break through...
It was not until they stepped into the territory of the cursed spirits and the cursed spirits emerged from their hiding places and attacked them that Nanami Ken suddenly realized that the information given by the "window" was wrong. This time the cursed spirit was not a second-level cursed spirit at all, but a land god born from the villagers' beliefs...
This is a first-level curse!
Damn it - Nanami Kento waved his weapon and tried his best to resist the attack launched by the cursed spirit. He was panting, sweat oozing from his forehead. At least he had to get Haibara away from here...
Without giving anyone a chance to catch their breath, the attack, packed with a large amount of cursed energy, came again.
This shitty life, this fucking curse world——
Nanami Kento raised his weapon again. He still didn't know why he chose to become a sorcerer. Should he have run away at this time? The intelligence itself was wrong. In order to survive, running away was not wrong, but...
"Gray, I'll leave it to you from now on."
Let more people live who can be saved.
"Puff"
The expected attack did not fall on him.
Nanami Kento's eyes widened, and his pupils shrank drastically: "Gray...Graybara?"
"Nana... Nanami..." Haibara Yu, whose abdomen was pierced by the attack, twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his hand with difficulty, and gave a thumbs up to Nanami Kento. He showed a familiar and reassuring smile, "Say... you said some very cool lines..."
He spat out a mouthful of blood, as if complaining, or as if muttering: "Wow... I'm still no match for the seniors... But, I didn't hold Nanami back."
Kento Nanami subconsciously reached out his hand and wanted to support Haibara Yu.
At this moment——
"Bang!"
After a loud noise, you got up from the ground.
"Oh, so it's here... Eh? Why isn't it pork chop? The land god? Oh my god, it's a first-level cursed spirit. It's a lamb chop cursed spirit that I've never seen before!"
Finally I found a large curse spirit. Why is the curse spirit from the first round gone? Did you come too early this time and it hasn't been born yet? You pick at your helmet, but can't figure out why.
Never mind, this cursed spirit seems to have a higher rating than the one in the first week, hehe, just capture them all!
Did you hit something when you landed just now? You looked at your feet and saw Huiyuan Xiong, whose health bar was gray and looked a little dry as if he had been squeezed.
Oops, how come I accidentally crushed an NPC to death again? Guilty, you took out the tail of the phoenix, stuffed the feather into the NPC's mouth, and apologized in a very half-hearted way: "Sorry, auntie... I can't say the rest, but anyway, eat this feather, forgive this auntie, isn't it a pleasure?"
The text posted by a netizen from the neighboring country was too long, so you memorized the beginning and the end... You thought sadly that you should recite the whole text next time. The netizen said that memorizing it can make you look very literary.
Nanami Kento, who was half broken by your physical attack, didn't know how to react now. However, Haibara Yuu, who survived, was grinning and holding his stomach, looking at him and yelling: "Ah, I saw Nanami... Is Nanami dead too?"
"Not completely dead yet." You put the first-level cursed spirit that was beaten into a ball into your pocket, carefully looked at Nanami Kento's health bar, and said seriously, "70% alive and 30% dead, this is considered slightly dead."
"Oh, can you tell from that?" Huiyuan Xiong looked at you, "Aunty boss, what about me?"
"Three points of life... Come, eat some sunshine mushrooms to replenish your blood... Oh, I got the wrong one, this is the charm mushroom... Never mind, it's not a big deal, it will replenish your blood at the same time."
"Is that so? I do feel a little better now. The boss is awesome!"
Nanami Kento looked at Haibara Yuu whose face turned into colorful lights and felt that this was a big problem.
"Boss, Huibara's face..." Nanami Kento walked over and pinched his colleague's face and pulled it without any hesitation, "How long will it take to recover?"
“It depends on the metabolic capacity?” You scratched your head and tilted it slightly, “This has never been fed to anyone…” It’s all for the cursed spirits to eat. There’s no time limit for the debuff under this person’s health bar!
"Hey, am I the first one to eat it?" After saving his face from Nanami Kento, Haibara Yuu pointed at himself, "Haven't the seniors eaten it before?"
"It's a new variety, and it hasn't had time to cause any harm yet... Well, I mean, invite Gojo Satoru and the others to come and taste the good craftsmanship of my aunt."
And when playing on mobile, you can’t stuff plants into the NPC’s mouth.
"Is that so?" Huiyuan Xiong scratched the back of his head and showed a unique smile of optimism, "It tastes very good!"
"You're pretty good, young man." You patted Huihara Yu's shoulder and gave him a thumbs up, affectionately, "Auntie has high hopes for you, can you come to my shop more often to be a guinea pig... I mean, to be a paid food taster?"
"Is it okay? That's great, Nanami. The boss invited us to dinner."
All negative emotions had turned into silence. Nanami Kento's mood returned to a calm state. He put his weapons into his backpack, zipped it up, picked it up and walked out: "No."
You and Huiyuan Xiong followed, and began to persuade him in stereo, "Go ahead, go ahead."
"Come on, come on."
"Come to think of it, Nanami, were you crying just now?"
"Is this true? That's really not nice. Why don't you wait until Auntie comes before you cry? Cry again and let me see."
Nanami Kento covered his ears and began to run away helplessly.
"Aunty boss, Nanami is just too shy." Huihara Xiong stopped, turned his head, chuckled twice, and said in a shy but serious tone, "Thank you for saving me."
"...Haha, no...you're welcome." After all, the other person was crushed to death by a can of food because you fell from the sky.
To avoid misunderstanding, you checked the system and found a record saying "Haihara Yu with HP 1 fell down due to your attack."
What an honest NPC! Looking at Haibara Yu's eyes full of gratitude and trust, your non-existent conscience suddenly gnaws.
Next time, add an extra leaf to the meal you order for your child.

"Boss, what are those things you planted in your store?" Gojo Satoru poked the sunflower that was shaking its head. "Sunflowers with eyes? Are they really not cursed spirits?"
Among a group of sunflowers that are swaying with their eyes wide open, there is a sunflower with flaming red lips, wearing sunglasses, with leaves holding Texas, and covered with a piece of white cloth. It is obviously different from the other plants in style.
Noticing Gojo Satoru's gaze, the white cloth Himawari shook a few times in a very arrogant manner, raised the Texas and blew a few notes. Upon careful listening, it turned out to be "What are you looking at, idiot?" which was similar to the Japanese pronunciation!
Gojo Satoru was so angry that he jumped up on the spot, yelling, "Boss, give me 100,000 if you want me to pull out this broken sunflower!"
Yamaubakiri Kunihiro walked over quickly, held the white sunflower in his arms, and stared at Gojo Satoru warily: "...Sir, this is not for sale."
"Your cursed spirit... is it a plant? Who cares? Anyway, this Sunflower with sunglasses just scolded me!" Gojo Satoru was not convinced, "Jay, Glass, you heard it too, right?"
The white sunflower stretched out its leaves, took off its sunglasses, and blew a few notes while shaking its head: "No." The sunflowers around it agreed and shook along with it in cooperation.
"Guest." Yamaubakiri Kunihiro hugged Himawari tighter, "Please don't act unreasonably."
"Huh? You're being unreasonable, me?" Gojo Satoru retorted loudly, "It was obviously this pot of sunflowers that started the scolding!"
"Jay, Glass, please say something!"
"I didn't hear you." Ieiri Naoko waved her hands and replied casually. She held her chin with her hand and continued to discuss pharmacology with Yaken Toushirou, "The herb you mentioned can indeed stop bleeding..."
"Is that so? I also saw it in ancient books." Yagen Toushirou pushed up his glasses and praised, "Ms. Ieiri is also amazing."
Gojo Satoru turned his gaze to Geto Suguru, expectantly: "Geto..."
Geto Summer Oil, who completely ignored Gojo Satoru, was chatting with the Honmaru Sengblade Group.
"Kakaka, sticking to one's own moral principles is also a kind of practice." Yamabushi Kunihiro laughed heartily, "There will always be various troubles in practice, there is no need to be confused, this is the meaning of practice, kakaka..."
"Is that so?" Xia Yujie rubbed his ears that were buzzing from the devilish laughter, "Thank you for your advice."
"No need to thank me." Jujumaru Tsuneji pushed the tea in front of him, "If you want, you can also discuss Buddhist scriptures with us."
"...Wait, Jie, you're not really going to become a monk, are you?" Gojo Satoru no longer cared about the swearing Himawari. He rushed over and hooked Geto's neck from behind, "No, Jie! Are you going to abandon me and Nozomi and become a bald monk alone?"
"Isn't this good?" Jialiu Naoko turned her head and teased, "Didn't someone say that Jie looked like a Buddha before?"
"Really? Doesn't that mean Jay has small eyes?"
"...Satoru, let go first." The veins on Xia Yujie's forehead popped out, "Also, I just didn't open my eyes too wide, do you want to fight?"
…
"Nana, try this..." Huihara Yu picked up a piece of grilled sun mushroom and said in surprise, "It's amazing, it tastes like sunshine!"
He took another sip of the "Sunshine Drink" that has been popular online recently, and his eyes widened a little: "This drink is also...it warms the body after drinking it. I want my sister to try it too."
Nanami Kento sighed and stirred the rice in the plate helplessly: "How could it smell like sunshine..." Where does the smell of sunshine come from?
But under the expectant eyes of his companions, he still ate a piece of sun mushroom.
"This is..." Nanami Kento widened his eyes in surprise and murmured, "The smell of sunshine..."
"Right, right?" Huihara Yu smiled, raised his hand high, and shouted to Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi who was recording the income and expenditure next to him, "Excuse me--"
Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi looked around and confirmed that he was the one being called. He placed his pen and pamphlet on the table and walked over quickly with an elegant manner: "Sir, do you have any questions?"
"I want to ask this..." Huiyuan Xiong pointed at the drink and the sun mushroom, "Why does it taste like sunshine?"
"This..." Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi maintained his perfect smile, "This is a proprietary recipe. If you're curious... they're picking it right over there."
Picked on site? What is the original form of this food? Nanami Kento was also a little curious. He and Haibara Yu stood up and looked in the direction that Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi pointed:
Ye Dou was moving through a bush of sunflowers. He quickly picked up the sun-shaped objects dropped by the sunflowers and put them into a basket. Then, with the help of his Ba-shaped naginata, he threw the "sunshine" into a juicer, which turned into a sunshine drink.
On the other side, Fushiguro Shiiji was roughly pulling the planted sun mushrooms out of the flowerpot.
The golden mushroom lost its smile the moment it was pulled out, and the sunshiny mushroom that was not chosen shook its head and let out a sad "ohhh".
With his ears plugged with cotton, Fushiguro Shiori held the yangguan mushroom and raised the kitchen knife calmly. He quickly sliced the yangguan mushroom with the same method as he would chop a cursed spirit. Finally, under the gaze of a group of girls with their hands on their faces and red eyes, he passed the plate of yangguan mushrooms over.
"Sunlit mushroom sashimi..." Fushiguro Shiori deliberately lowered his voice, "If possible, please give me a good review." Good reviews can be exchanged for bonuses at the end of the month.
Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi retracted his gaze and smiled: "This is an improper way to win praise. The other employees in our store are all very serious." They don't flatter customers, they only flatter the boss.
Noticing Yamaubakiri Kunihiro holding a sunflower, he tutted and crossed his arms over his chest, somewhat disgusted: "Stop holding your sunflower. We need help in the kitchen."
"...I understand." Having said that, Yamaubakiri Kunihiro still didn't put down the sunflower in his hand, and instead said with a hint of boasting, "This is the DJ sunflower that the master gave me."
"I mean, it's inconvenient for you to move while holding the sunflower..."
"This is what the master gave me." Yamaubakiri Kunihiro emphasized, "I don't want to let it go."
"...I know that guy gave it to you." The veins on Yamaubakiri's forehead jumped, "But your attitude... you bastard, do you want to give it to me?"
"Oh." Yamaubakiri Kunihiro answered calmly with the composure of a beginner swordsman, "But this was given to me by my master. You don't have it, Honka."
"Haha, you mean I'm jealous of you? You've become even bolder, you hypocrite."
…
"Auntie, the store is so lively..." Huihara Yu sat back in his seat blankly, "The seniors who can be friends with the boss are also amazing..."
"Of course!" Gojo Satoru's nose was raised to the sky when he heard the younger generation's praise. He walked behind you who were watering the melons, and poked your armor like a cat stretching its claws to grab someone's pants, "Boss - why don't you say anything? Where did these strange plants come from?"
Hearing this, you paused from watering the melon nest, and turned around like a robot. Even through the mask, others could feel your oppressive gaze.
Gojo Satoru swallowed his saliva, laughed dryly twice, and took a step back: "Um...um...Boss, are you in a bad mood today?"
The next second, everyone present heard you answer in a clear and precise voice: "There is nothing we can do about it."
"Ah?" Gojo Satoru was stunned by your answer and said in confusion, "What?"
You respond with a nonchalant “That’s hilarious.”
"Glass--" Gojo Satoru turned his head suddenly, his voice changed, "Can this human-machine situation reversal technique save her?"
He had a vague feeling: You absolutely cannot stay in this state, otherwise a lot of bad things will happen.
"It's impossible to save him. You can deduct 1 to see if you can transfer him to manual labor." Ieiri Naoko yawned and turned to look at Yagen Toushirou. "Is this considered schizophrenia? Don't you consider sending him to the hospital?"
"If necessary, I can recommend you the best ones." Don't torture innocent sorcerers.
Xia Yujie is worried about you: "Boss, boss, are you okay?"
But they found you in a strange state of catatonic state - the same as last time at the beach.
Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi sensed you based on the spiritual power contract and confirmed that you were fine. He estimated that the signal was bad, causing this body to become a bit like a robot, then he threw his cloak and went into the kitchen.
Seeing that the knife-wielding guys didn't react too much, the people at the technical college felt relieved.
The three second-year students surrounded you, tapping on your armor, and occasionally you would get an answer... It had a very beautiful feeling of being read in a random manner.
"I feel like the current boss is a hypocrite."
"More like a cursed spirit... Come to think of it, I didn't see Frey today."
"As for the cursed spirit, Jay, go ahead and see if you can subdue the boss!"
Xia Yujie smiled: "...Haha, I don't want to be beaten by other employees."
Gojo Satoru continued to urge: "Just give it a try, just give it a try."
Unable to resist the childish classmate, Geto sighed, stretched out his hand to you, and casually made a gesture to subdue a cursed spirit: "How about this..."
"Ah?" You, who was switched to the holographic version, looked at Geto Suguru blankly, "You want to challenge Auntie to a food challenge?"
Gin is going to fly to America again in the next few days, and after much persuasion, he finally changed his office location from a small dark room to an apartment - by using his status as the boss.
You are the boss of the organization! If you want to work from home, then work from home. Gin and Kurosawa Jin! Do you still want to stop you? !
When you woke up from your bed, logged into the mobile game, and were about to have fun synthesizing a big curse spirit, Gin's phone rang.
That's too bad. It's fine if you let Noah's Ark supervise your work, but why do they call you from time to time to check on you? Do you think you will tell the truth?
You will, because you can't beat Gin.
But things change over time, don't look down on the poor young! One day, you will be so old that Gin won't dare to attack you!
After you have finally finished writing today's document while the computer is idle, as soon as you log on to the holographic system, a challenge pops up for you on the system panel.
[Foodie Xia Yujie has initiated an ingredient competition with you]
【Please choose your ingredients】
Is the challenge from the Cursemon Master also of the Cursemon type? You looked at Geto Suguru blankly. Why did this NPC suddenly want to challenge you? Did he eat an expired Cursemon Orb? Did he have a brain attack?
Okay, go ahead and hit me.
You picked through your backpack and tossed out a piece of fried chicken fillet: "It's decided that it's you! Grade A ingredients, super crispy fried chicken fillet!"
"Eh? Wait? Why is my body automatically... Damn it!" The familiar feeling that made Xia Yujie want to cry came back. He took out the curse ball uncontrollably and shouted uncontrollably, "Come out, A-grade ingredient seaweed!"
The few people who can see the cursed spirits: "Wow, a ghost war... are they cursed spirits of the same level?"
"Jie is indeed a master of treasure dreams." Seeing the lively and noisy Gojo Satoru, he added fuel to the fire with a smile, "Come on, Jie, beat the boss and get the food stall gym badge!"
“Satoru, you bastard…!”
"My Lord, I will not lose." The Ba-gata Naginata stood behind you and pushed up his glasses, "Give up the challenge."
"You're so arrogant." Gojo Satoru grabbed Geto's neck, "Let the other side see how powerful the Curse Spirit Master is! Ah..." Halfway through, he looked at you again and asked the question that had never been answered, "Boss, what's wrong with those plants?"
"Plants?" You looked around the store. "That's it..." After thinking for a moment, you answered seriously, "They can also glow at night to create sunlight, which can save a lot of electricity bills."
“The guests also like to eat it.”
Forget about the charm mushrooms that make NPCs colorful when they eat them. You served them to ordinary NPCs before, and the store's reputation dropped in the end...
"Anything else to say?" You straightened your back. "Now it's Auntie's turn. Fried Chicken Steak, use the Sideways Charge!"
"Seaweed, use Hair Wrap!"
Ieiri Naoko gave him a strange look: "Jay, are you still giving names to the cursed spirit moves?"
"No! I just naturally knew the skills of the cursed spirits... Damn it, you will know once you experience it."
"But it's so cool!" Haibara Yu shouted happily, "It's like watching the real-life Pokémon showdown!"
"Thank you, Haibara... But when you don't know how to praise, you can choose not to praise."
…
[You won the food battle]
[You have obtained the curse of Geto Summer Oil: Ghost]
Xia Yujie watched his cursed spirit transform into a cursed spirit ball and then fly into your hands. He was not angry, and calmly snatched the card from Gojo Satoru and walked in front of you: "Boss, this time, I want the cursed spirit ball to be pickled pepper flavored."
"Hey, Jay, pay with your own money!"
"Haha..." Xia Yujie turned around and smiled horribly, "This is the price you pay for adding fuel to the fire."
"Well, I don't mind you guys quarreling or fighting..." Jia Ruxiaozi, who was still chewing food, raised her hand, "But Ye Moth has been calling Jay."
Suddenly remembering that he still had a mission today, Xia Yujie's expression froze.
"Mission? What mission?" You caught the key words and flashed to Geto's side, "Cursed Spirit Mission?"
"I am the boss, I am assigned a mission, didn't you hear me? I am Auntie, I want to curse the spirits... Strange, talk to me."
"Boss, I can hear you." Xia Youjie rubbed his neck helplessly, "But this mission is very far..."
"So what?" You straightened your chest and raised your head, "For the best ingredients, I have no choice but to do it!"
…
Half an hour later, you and Geto Xia arrived at a remote mountain village, and under the guidance of the villagers speaking in dialect, you entered a dilapidated house.
Looking at the sisters who were locked in the cage, hugging each other tightly, and trembling, you uttered an emotionless interjection: "Wow."
Xia Yujie rubbed his brows and said, "What's going on?"
Wasn't this mission to investigate the cause of the villagers' disappearance and death, and to remove the cursed spirits? Why did he see this...
A scene filled with the evil of human nature?
"These two people are the cause of a series of events." Someone said, "They brought a curse to the village."
"They killed my grandson, why don't you kill them?" someone said, "They are just monsters that harm people!"
"They have a problem with their brains," someone said. "They are always suspicious and pointing to nothing and saying there are monsters."
"Kill them."
Some people say.
"Kill them."
Others echoed.
"Killed..."
The noise of blood splattering and heads hitting the ground replaced the murmurs from the people around them.
Under the surprised gaze of Geto, you put the heavy sword on your shoulder and said with a smile: "Normally I won't kill irrelevant people easily, but you seem like annoying mosquitoes, so I..."
You raise your heavy sword and chop off another NPC's head.
"It's normal to accidentally slap a few mosquitoes to death, right?"
"I haven't met such a stupid person in a long time." You sighed, "It's like a stupid mother opening the door for a stupid person, stupid to the point of entering a stupid nest."
Which AI company does the NPC in this game use? How much stupidity does it take to be so authentic?
"Wait!" Without time to think carefully, Xia Yujie stepped in front of you and said, "Boss, don't kill anyone again... You will be wanted by the curse world!"
“Don’t worry.” You glanced at the other frightened villagers and said cheerfully, “I won’t do anything illegal.”
The villagers who survived breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, another person's body was chopped in front of their eyes.
“So I remembered to save the game.”
The wanted criminal in the sorcery world who committed illegal crimes and massacred a whole village is what happened this time. What does it have to do with the innocent food stall owner who appeared in the flashback?
You pick up the heavy sword again and rush towards the others.
"See you a few minutes ago."
"Superstitious and ignorant fools."
