"What is 'ghostly'? Are you sure it's okay to smear yourself like this?" Xiao Ai was a little worried after hearing Xia Chuhe's solution.
Xiao Ai's original life in the copy of the game was partly similar to the modern world in terms of culture, so she was almost the only one who could understand Xia Chuhe's meaning.
I can understand the term "ghostly" or "absurd," but not often.
"Self-deprecation is the most sophisticated social skill, don't worry." Xia Chuhe only regretted that he didn't have enough fame or memorable traits.
What kind of smear campaign is this, "ghostly" or "meme-like" content?
Parody videos are a huge thing; almost everyone with a bit of fame has a few parody videos. If you haven't been parodied, it just means you're not famous enough, and of course, that fame includes being infamous.
While this method may not be respectable or honorable, it can generate enormous benefits if used properly. Modern society has adopted "ghostly" or "parody" videos as a highly effective form of propaganda, with even official bodies getting involved.
Being parodied or meme-ed means you're still in the spotlight.
The ultimate sign of being outdated is when no one makes fun of you.
Xia Chuhe is very open-minded, but she doesn't want people to know that she personally "copied" and adapted these bizarre videos, so she specifically instructed Xiao Ai: "Remember to label them with tags like 'fake' or 'imitating superpowers'."
Xiao Ai gave an understanding gesture and left with the script and some materials "designed" by Xia Chuhe.
Since there weren't enough materials in the wasteland, Xiao Ai had to personally return to her old dungeon home to retrieve some.
You have to strike while the iron is hot when posting videos; artificial intelligence can definitely do this kind of thing much faster.
One day later...
Mingzhu Base Food Store.
Fan ordered several plates of roasted meat and enjoyed a hearty meal.
This restaurant has a special grill and charcoal fire for grilling meat. The meat used is extremely fresh, and the waiter grills the meat with perfect control of the heat. Unfortunately, the dipping sauce is a bit lacking.
With a refreshing kumquat juice to cleanse her palate, Fan Fan devoured three plates of meat before letting out a satisfied burp. She slumped her shoulders and rubbed her stomach.
My stomach is full, but my mouth isn't.
"Boss, the bill, please!"
Fan Fan paid his points and aimlessly browsed the store for information, looking for high-paying tasks and challenging dungeons.
Fan Fan possesses strong supernatural abilities, making it easy for her to earn points, so she lives a very comfortable life. She doesn't have many hobbies, except for enjoying delicious food.
While browsing messages, a friend suddenly forwarded her a video with the caption: "You'll definitely like this!"
The video's cover image shows a woman squatting in front of a pot, eating. The pot is bright red and glistening with oil, looking quite appetizing.
Just looking at the pictures made Fan Fans swallow hard.
She eagerly clicked on the video—
Xia Chuhe gently stroked the little white rabbit in the cage, her hand slowly caressing the rabbit's ears. She didn't know how she used her strength, but the rabbit nimbly twirled in the air and landed in her arms, where she stroked it as if it were a precious treasure.
"Bunny is so cute, how can you eat bunny?! I, Xia Chuhe, would rather starve to death outside than eat a single bunny!"
The voice, which was both sweet and coquettish yet fierce, made Fan Fan frown in confusion.
A hand reached out from outside the camera lens and snatched the rabbit from Xia Chuhe's arms.
These hands have short fingernails, and calluses on the base of the thumb and the inside of the fingers, indicating that they are hands that have been holding knives for many years.
The scene shifts—
The owner of those hands lifted the rabbit by its ears, gave a soft "hmm," and sounded quite satisfied.
These hands, one holding a rabbit, the other a knife, swiftly turned and slit the rabbit's throat. The next second, the rabbit meat was chopped into thumb-sized pieces and marinated in ginger juice and rice wine.
Oil was heating in a pot next to me. As soon as small bubbles appeared at the bottom of the pot, a string of green Sichuan peppercorns was thrown into the pot, rolled around, and made a soft sizzling sound.
Fan swallowed hard, feeling as if he could smell the numbing aroma even through the screen.
The diced rabbit was poured into the pot with a splash, and the oil sizzled and bubbled in the pan.
Short, inch-long pieces of dried red chili peppers, finely shredded dried tangerine peel, and a handful of white sesame seeds are sprinkled into the pot one after another. The iron spoon turns the pot over and over, making it glow red and golden, much like fireworks set off at a celebratory occasion.
The edges of the rabbit meat were fried until they turned a charred color, and a spoonful of bright red fermented bean paste was added to the pot.
"Small fire." As soon as the owner of those hands spoke, the flames obediently shrank.
In a flash, a pot of rabbit meat was seen cooked until it was glistening with oil, and the steam had long since dissipated.
"Cold-cooked bunny, do you want some?"
"Eat." Xia Chuhe took the bowl and chopsticks without any backbone. At first, he didn't eat very fast, but later he ate at lightning speed. He was hissing and gasping for breath from the spiciness, but he couldn't stop eating. In the end, not even the sesame seeds at the bottom of the bowl were left.
"Oh my god, it smells so good!"
Flashback—
"Bunny is so cute, how can you eat bunny?! I, Xia Chuhe, would rather starve to death outside than eat a single bunny!"
"Oh my god, it smells so good!"
Fan found it both funny and tempting, his mouth watering so much he could barely contain himself. The cravings inside him were like ants crawling on his stomach, and the three plates of meat he had just eaten seemed to have been completely digested the night before.
"Boss, can you make this dish?" Fan Fan rushed to the serving window, projected the image of the cold-cooked rabbit onto his wristwatch, and showed it to the boss.
The owner glanced at it and said, "This dish uses too many spices. I need to find some more. I'll give you an answer in ten days."
Ten days?!
Fan Fan couldn't wait a day, an hour, or even a minute; she had to eat the cold-cooked rabbit right now, immediately!
[I love it! I love it! I love this! Where can I get cold-cooked rabbit?] Fan Fan contacted the friend who sent her the video.
[Oh, I didn't know. This is a video of someone making fun of the Lord of Taotie City. I sent it to you so you can have a laugh.]
Fan Fan was so angry that she wanted to rush up to her friend and shake her head violently to see if she could shake water out of her!
Knowing full well that she has absolutely no resistance to delicious food, I still sent her something she can't eat.
Fan watched the video again and inadvertently glanced at a friend's message—a prank? Taotie City?
Although the video is a parody, the cold-cooked rabbit looks like it could actually be made. Could Taotie City make it?
Taotie City and Xia Chuhe are the only two clues Fan Fan obtained regarding the cold-cooked rabbit.
Fan Fan, who was craving food and completely dominated by his appetite, decided to try his luck at Taotie City.
