Chapter 52: Keep Your Distance (Revised)



With the traffic base of the Moyu Store, the stock god Lao Jiang's Weibo quickly became a hot search.

The comment area has gone crazy, and everyone is asking whether it is true or false.

"Everyone, please be rational. Don't be so magical when it comes to the Magic Fish Shop. The video is definitely fake. It is definitely a hype."

"A big shot has reviewed it. There is no trace of synthesis in the video. It is very likely to be real."

"Why do I feel that the world has suddenly become sci-fi? Do superpowers really exist?"

"Fake! Whoever believes it is an idiot! I strongly suspect that the Magic Fish Shop is directing and acting it out!"

"If eating it often can give you superpowers, then guess whether God Si has superpowers?"

"Ahhhhhhh!!!! God Si with superpowers! So handsome!"

"No more words, I'm already writing my resignation report. I will go to the Magic Fish Shop every day to wait. As long as you have superpowers, who would go to work every day?!"

"Upstairs?, I've already lined up at the restaurant. I'm sure I'll be able to eat at the Magic Fish Shop today!"

"..."

The customers of the Magic Fish Shop, whose worldviews had been reshaped, were also very excited after seeing the video and the comments. Others were skeptical, but they saw it with their own eyes. They didn't know if the boss had superpowers, but the other person who could control monsters remotely definitely had superpowers!

If they could gain superpowers by eating at the Magic Fish Shop a few more times, then what were they waiting for? They had to eat there every day!!!

However, before they could get over their excitement, all the discussions about the video and related topics disappeared.

The stock god Lao Jiang was even directly banned.

Everyone: "???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The customers of the Magic Fish Shop who knew the content shouted in their hearts: Here they come, they are here, and they will not let the situation develop!

Ru Jiu soon received a call from Shi Shuqing, who wanted him to clarify the matter on Weibo to avoid causing chaos.

Ru Jiu was brushing his teeth and asked vaguely: "Is that person really a power-enhanced person?"

Shi Shuqing: "Yes, the person has been taken back to the base."

Ru Jiu responded and continued to brush his teeth.

Shi Shuqing: "Do you have any impression of him? Do you remember how many times he went to the store to eat, and what he ordered each time?"

Ru Jiu did not answer immediately. He rinsed his mouth and washed his face, and then walked out of the bathroom with his mobile phone.

Ru Jiu asked the Kitchen God System to call up all the dining information of this person.

"I spent seven times in the store, three large portions of seafood rice, two crab roe porridge and sashimi platter, one shrimp porridge and grilled shrimp legs, and one 6998 yuan set meal." Jiu reported to him truthfully. Shi

Shuqing took notes, paused for a moment, and then said, "Now I can basically write it down. Your food can turn people into enhanced people directly."

This is safer than risking radiation, and easier than forcibly raising the RT value again and again. They have to work hard to make progress in a problem that can be solved by eating delicious food.

Rujiu said, "There are so many customers at the Magic Fish Shop, but only three of them have truly become enhanced humans."

Rujiu heard Shi Shuqing's breath, "I really hope you can spare some time to come to the base to take a look and see how many enhanced humans we have created after all our efforts."

Rujiu: "..."

Feeling that Shi Shuqing was forcibly holding back from going berserk, Rujiu shut up wisely.

The incident involved the Magic Fish Shop, and when the video was circulated wildly and triggered discussions across the Internet, Rujiu's Weibo could not be calm, and countless people flocked to his Weibo, asking if this was true.

Rujiu posted his third Weibo today.

Jiujiu: "I run a seafood restaurant, not a super power factory. When you have doubts about yourself, please recite the ten-word motto in your heart: Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors, believe in science."

Netizens who have been waiting for a long time: "..."

"Why didn't I believe it before, but after reading Boss Jiu's rumor-refuting, I suddenly believe it is true?"

"Boss Jiu's rumor-refuting failed to convince me, but made me more hesitant."

"Practice makes perfect. Instead of guessing here, I decided to try it myself. I will publish the results of the practice truthfully on Weibo."

"I agree with the above post. I will also try it myself!"

Jiujiu quit Weibo and stopped paying attention to this matter.

There was a missed call last night. It was from Si Xu. He fell asleep and didn't hear it.

After hesitating for a while, Jiu Jiu sent a message to Si Xu, saying that she was too tired last night and forgot to call him.

Si Xu must be busy and did not reply to the message.

Jiu Jiu packed up and rode to the store. There were many people gathered at the door. Jiu Jiu had expected this situation.

Seeing Jiu Jiu coming, someone couldn't wait to ask: "Boss Jiu, can the food in this store really give you super powers?"

Jiu Jiu parked the bicycle next to the window, "What do you think I can answer you?"

"Yes or no, just one word!" A customer shouted proudly.

Lu Jiu: "No."

"Then is the news on the Internet true? Is the person who is suspected to have super powers a customer of the store?"

Lu Jiu was about to explain clearly, as he met so many people every day, how could he remember them all, but a customer answered for him.

"That person does often come to the Magic Fish Restaurant to eat. I have met him twice."

Someone immediately asked curiously, "So you also often come here to eat? Don't you think there is anything special?"

"I have been here a few times, but I don't think there is anything special. If I have to say, it may be that my health has improved. There was a flu some time ago, and many people around me caught colds and fevers. I am the person who is most susceptible to colds, but I am not sick at all. Is this also special?"

Jiu Jiu listened to their discussion, "Don't wait if you can't get a table. Please come earlier next time."

Jiu Jiu opened the door and entered the restaurant, took out the small blackboard, and the menu was still 6998 yuan per person. This price will not be changed for the time being.

Lunch is ready, please invite the guests into the restaurant.

Two people sat down in front of the bar. Jiu Jiu was not curious at all until the other party took the initiative to say hello.

"Hi, long time no see."

Rujiu looked up and met a pair of big eyes. She had just seen this face on the Internet two days ago.

It was Qiu Yuqian.

She hadn't changed much. She was still so cheerful. Her long dyed hair was tied into a bun. She had light makeup and wore a white down jacket. She looked pure and beautiful.

"Hello, I'm Xixi's agent, Yushan."

Yushan stood up, smiling, and took the initiative to extend her hand. But her hand stopped halfway. Rujiu was shelling shrimps and her hands were busy, so she had to take her hand back.

"Hello." Rujiu only glanced at them without much reaction, and concentrated on preparing delicious food again.

Yushan sat down again and winked at Qiu Yuqian. Qiu Yuqian was watching Rujiu handle the ingredients and didn't see the agent's hint.

"I never realized before that you have such a good skill. You've wasted several years in the entertainment industry. It turns out that delicious food is the best for you." Qiu Yuqian's attitude was natural, as if she had no idea about the gossip on the Internet.

Lu Jiu didn't say anything, and laid out the shelled prawns one by one.

A female customer next to Qiu Yuqian glanced at Qiu Yuqian from time to time. I wonder if she recognized her.

Qiu Yuqian was not very popular to begin with, and she hadn't produced any works in the past two years. Except for her fans, almost no one knew her. After being sold to Fengshuo, the company was arranging a comeback for her, and as a result, netizens sent Lu Jiu, a huge traffic star, to her.

Now not only Lu Jiu, but even Si Shen has noticed her.

No matter whether Si Shen's Weibo was attacking her or not, as long as there was a response, it would become Qiu Yuqian's popularity. The gap between their status was too big. Even if fans were curious and went to dig up a person named Qiu Yuqian, it would still be traffic.

Qiu Yuqian didn't seem to care about Ru Jiu's attitude, and said to herself: "In just a few years, things have changed. You retired, Ling Chen was bought by Huasheng, Huo Wei is now in the same company as me, and he is also in Fengshuo."

Qiu Yuqian was smart and didn't mention Duan Chengzhou.

Ru Jiu's hands kept moving, but he was very surprised. This time he came back to either recuperate or prepare for the birthday party, but he didn't pay much attention to the news of Ling Chen and Huo Wei. He didn't expect that they were also sold.

Qiu Yuqian sneered, "Chuangxing is now just an empty shell. Artists with a little potential have either been sold or poached. It's too difficult for Chuangxing to make a comeback."

Lu Jiu remained silent. He had no interest in reminiscing about the past with someone he didn't know very well. Even if Huo Wei stood in front of him and chattered, he might not pay attention.

Yu Shan kicked Qiu Yuqian under the bar, hinting to her to say something useful. This place was not suitable for talking. It would be best if she could ask Lu Jiu to meet alone. It would be mutually beneficial for both parties. Lu Jiu should not refuse.

Qiu Yuqian moved her legs calmly and sighed, "The most unfortunate thing is Sister Wen. Did you know that she is sick?"

Ru Jiu finally responded and looked up at Qiu Yuqian, "What disease?"

Qiu Yuqian said sadly, "Breast cancer. I heard that she is receiving treatment. I don't know how she is doing."

Ru Jiu vaguely heard that something was wrong last time and asked Jiang Xiwen, but she didn't say.

Ru Jiu: "Which hospital is she in?"

Qiu Yuqian: "Central Hospital. If you want to see her, can I go with you? When I was in the company, Sister Wen also took care of me a lot."

Ru Jiu glanced at her and said nothing.

Qiu Yuqian explained, "I just found out about it these few days, and I was just about to take some time to visit her. Sister Wen will be very happy to see us."

Without even raising his head, he said, "No need."

Yu Shan immediately said, "Our car is outside, it's very convenient to get there..."

Yu Jiu picked up the prepared plate and sent it to the first table.

When Yu Jiu came back, Yu Shan wanted to say something, but Yu Jiu interrupted her coldly, "Please don't interfere with my work."

Yu Shan: "..."

He could only shut up awkwardly, and then went to kick Qiu Yuqian, hoping that she would say something, but Qiu Yuqian didn't say anything

. The lunch was delicious, but Qiu Yuqian and Yu Shan were both absent-minded while eating, always trying to find an opportunity to talk to Yu Jiu, but Yu Jiu stopped talking.

He sent a message to Si Xu, asking if he needed lunch prepared for him, but there was no reply after waiting for a long time.

He was a little worried, so he went out and called Si Xu, but the phone was out of service area.

Lu Jiu called Jiang Ge again, and fortunately he was able to get through. He said that Si Xu's phone could not be dialed, and it said that it was out of service area, and asked Jiang Ge if he knew where Si Xu was.

Jiang Ge was very experienced with "out of service area", and told Lu Jiu that Si Xu should have gone to the enhanced human base.

Lu Jiu was a close friend, so it was not against the rules for Jiang Ge to tell him about the base.

Lu Jiu was relieved to know where Si Xu was going. Si Xu went to the base at this time, probably to have a physical check-up. After

hanging up the phone and turning around, Qiu Yuqian was standing at the door looking at him.

Rujiu frowned, "What's the matter?"

Qiu Yuqian came out, "My agent wants to talk to you."

"Talk about what? I don't think there's anything to talk about."

Rujiu turned around and was about to leave. Qiu Yuqian subconsciously tried to pull him, but Rujiu took a step back and kept some distance.

"Please keep your distance. I don't want to cause misunderstandings among netizens again."

Qiu Yuqian opened her mouth and spoke after a long while. "I'm sorry about what happened online. The Weibo post last night was sent by Sister Shan and I didn't know the truth. If necessary, I can delete it."

Jiu: "It's your freedom to delete it or not. It has nothing to do with me."

Qiu Yuqian's smile was a little forced. "I know that this kind of behavior is very annoying. I came here today mainly to apologize to you. I also want to ask you if we can cooperate once. Feng Shuo is preparing for my comeback and I want to borrow your traffic..."

"Sorry, no loan." Lu Jiu felt that she had made it clear, and stepped into the store. She remembered something and added, "If you're bored, don't do it anymore. I'm in a bad mood right now."

Lu Jiu opened the door and entered the store, and met Yu Shan standing inside. She was obviously giving them a chance to talk alone.

Until the end of lunch, Lu Jiu didn't say a word to them. After

Lu Jiu cleaned up the store, she called Si Xu again, but he was still out of service area. He should not have come out yet.

Lu Jiu was a little puzzled. Where exactly was the enhanced base built? Is there no signal inside?

Rujiu called Jiang Xiwen and asked her the specific ward.

Jiang Xiwen wanted to play dumb, "What ward?"

Rujiu: "I know you are sick and hospitalized. Which floor and ward?"

Jiang Xiwen was silent for a long time before she told the ward number.

Rujiu went upstairs to the super smart kitchen, caught an invisible fish, and started killing fish.

These five invisible fish were too precious. Rujiu originally planned to give them all to Si Xu, but Sister Wen also needed this kind of fish, so Rujiu decided to give one to Sister Wen and leave the remaining four for Si Xu.

The invisible fish is very similar in shape to the moon fish, but its color is much brighter than that of the moon fish. Invisible fish are big and small. The five caught by Lu Jiu are of different sizes, some big and some small. Lu Jiu caught the smallest one.

The invisible fish realized that it could not escape, so it could only turn invisible to save its life. As a result, Lu Jiu relied on his feel throughout the whole process of killing the fish. It was as if he was killing a ball of air. It took him a long time to deal with the invisible fish. He cut off all the fish meat, but he was reluctant to give the fish head and bones directly to the system for recycling. He planned to make soup.

Lu Jiu took out two small incubators and divided the invisible fish meat into two portions, one for Sister Wen and one for Si Xu. If Si Xu had not returned after going to the hospital, he would go to the enhanced human base to see him and deliver a meal.

After packing up, Jiujiu took a taxi to the hospital.

Not long after getting off the taxi, she heard the sound of high heels hitting the ground quickly behind her. Jiujiu looked back and then stopped.

Qiu Yuqian caught up with her holding a bouquet of flowers, smiling brightly, "Let's go together."

Jiujiu stopped, "What do you mean? Are you forcing me to borrow it?"

Qiu Yuqian lowered her eyelashes, a little at a loss.

Yu Shan quickly followed, "Feng Shuo is willing to pay, you name a price."

Ru Jiu sneered, "Do you think I look like I'm short of money?" Qiu

Yuqian: "..."

Yu Shan: "..." Ru Jiu

looked around, "Have you arranged for the paparazzi to take pictures? I said that I'm not in a good mood now. If you dare to do something, I dare to tear my face off. When I was an artist, my quality was not high. Now that I've retired, I'm more free. You can decide for yourself."

Ru Jiu said, turned around and left.

Qiu Yuqian thought for a long time before slowly following behind, and the two of them were separated by a distance.

Ru Jiu ignored her and went to Jiang Xiwen's ward.

Jiang Xiwen lived in a single room, sitting alone on the bed watching TV. She was not much different from when she first met Li Jiu, except for her slightly different complexion.

She was wearing a loose hospital gown with a hose extending from one side of the gown. Blood was flowing from the hose to a bag at the other end. She must have had surgery. The

door was not closed, and Li Jiu knocked twice.

Jiang Xiwen turned her head and saw Lu Jiu, the first thing she said was, "How did you know I was sick?"

She raised her eyes and saw Qiu Yuqian following behind her, "How did you get together?"

"I... I just wanted to come and see Sister Wen." Qiu Yuqian didn't dare to say "we met by chance." Jiang Xiwen had been a broker for so many years, she knew some things too clearly.

Rujiu walked to the bed and put down the small incubator, "She and I are not together."

Qiu Yuxi: "..."

Jiang Xiwen glanced at them, "I really don't want to be seen by acquaintances like this. How did you know I was sick?"

Qiu Yuxi paused, "I told you, and Rujiu only knew about it then."

Jiang Xiwen looked at her and said after a while, "Did Yi Ning tell you? You were all sold to Fengshuo, and now it seems that your relationship is good. Are you being squeezed out of the new company, so you want to stick together for warmth?"

Qiu Yuxi was a little embarrassed. Yi Ning had a fight with Jiang Xiwen, and everyone in the company knew about it. Jiang Xiwen didn't like Yi Ning, and she was not on good terms with Yi Ning, and she followed Rujiu here. She felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Sister Wen..."

"There's nothing to be sorry about. She wants the whole world to know that I have cancer and am dying. I'm not surprised that she told you. What surprised me is that you came to see me in person." Jiang Xiwen said meaningfully.

Jiang Xiwen's surgery was completed a few days ago. Although she was in the hospital, she was connected to the Internet. She knew something about the Internet, so she felt strange when she saw them coming together.

Rujiu glanced around the ward, "Is there any surveillance in the ward? I brought some food, but I'm afraid of being caught by the doctor."

Jiang Xiwen: "...No."

Jiang Xiwen: "Did you bring any prohibited items?"

Rujiu touched his nose, "I brought some sashimi."

Jiang Xiwen was silent for a moment, "Do you think I can eat it?"

Rujiu nodded, "You can eat it, but you have to eat it secretly. I'm afraid the doctor will think I want to harm you."

Jiang Xiwen: "I think so too."

Rujiu held a small incubator, "Do you want to eat it?"

Jiang Xiwen: "Of course. It's a rare opportunity to eat sashimi from the Magic Fish Shop. I'd be stupid not to eat it."

Rujiu opened the lid and was about to take out the invisible fish fillet when she turned around and looked at Qiu Yuqian. Her meaning was very obvious.

Qiu Yuqian was already very embarrassed to be left out, and she couldn't stay any longer when she saw that Rujiu and Jiang Xiwen were both looking at her.

"I, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Qiu Yuqian put down the flowers and left in a hurry.

Rujiu went to lock the door, and then came back to bring out the invisible fish fillet.

Jiang Xiwen: "..."

There was only a layer of crushed ice, and nothing on the ice.

Jiang Xiwen: "Let me eat the ice?"

"Eat the fish." Rujiu picked up the chopsticks and pressed on the ice layer. The chopsticks did not touch the crushed ice, and there seemed to be a layer of transparent material on the ice. Rujiu

tried to pick it up with chopsticks, but it either slipped or poked into the crushed ice. He simply didn't want to use the chopsticks and handed Jiang Xiwen a disposable glove.

"Use your hands to grab it."

Jiang Xiwen put on gloves and touched the ice. There was something soft and cool. She picked up a piece and looked at it carefully. The thing in her hands was not just transparent at all, but invisible. It could easily blend into the environment and achieve the purpose of invisibility.

She put the invisible fish into her mouth. It tasted like sashimi, icy, tender, and melt-in-the-mouth. It was very fragrant!

Jiang Xiwen kept nodding, "It's really fish, very delicious."

Jiang Xiwen quickly finished a portion of invisible fish, raised her chin, and indicated the second portion.

Rujiu: "This portion is not yours."

Jiang Xiwen is not greedy. "What kind of fish is this? It's delicious."

Rujiu: "Invisible fish. It can enhance immunity and destroy cancer cells. It should be effective after eating it a few times. "

Jiang Xiwen: "..."

Jiang Xiwen: "I'm really curious about where these weird ingredients come from."

Rujiu: "Don't worry about where they come from, as long as they are effective."

Rujiu stayed at Jiang Xiwen's place for more than an hour. It was already past three in the afternoon. He took out his mobile phone and was about to call Si Xu again when Si Xu called him.

Xu Jiu answered the phone, "Have you come out?"

Si Xu's low voice came from the phone, "I'm at the hospital gate, come down."

Si Xu seemed to be in a bad mood. Xu Jiu was worried about his test results, so he didn't delay, said goodbye to Jiang Xiwen, and ran away with the small incubator.
