Chen Hua turned around and asked doubtfully, "I... is there something wrong?"
Shi Jiu smiled mysteriously and pointed to the restaurant. "You can try the new restaurant in the hotel for dinner later. It has the answers you want~"
After saying that, he put away the crystal core and turned to watch TV. "Qin Lou, just sit at the front desk and wait. I'm going to watch TV over there. Can you see it from here?"
After all, the only entertainment nowadays is television. Otherwise, I would really just sit there staring at the door in a daze. Qin Lou sat behind the counter and nodded, "I can see it from here."
Qin Lou didn't just sit there. He picked up the tablet. He had heard what Shi Jiu had just said to them. He clicked on the restaurant and prepared to upload some raw materials so that the restaurant could prepare the dishes first.
It's not even seven o'clock yet, and Shi Jiu is sitting sideways on the sofa in the rest area watching TV. I have to say, this TV series is quite exciting, and it's even better if the actors are unfamiliar, so that you won't feel involved in the show.
Chen Hua and his friends each had a room, and they cleaned up at different speeds. Chen Hua and Li Xia came out faster. Chen Hua still remembered what the boss had just said to him.
"Captain, what do you think the boss meant by what he said just now? Does the restaurant have the answers we want? What answers do we need?" Li Xia was walking beside him. He had just heard Shi Jiu's words and was very curious about it.
"Just go in and take a look and you'll know." Chen Hua was the first to enter the restaurant. It was a very modern restaurant with no employees, only running machines.
The two walked to the ordering area, and only two dishes were displayed on the screen: scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried seasonal vegetables. The former cost 5 crystal cores, and the latter cost 2 crystal cores. It was not expensive and looked like a large portion.
"Is there no white rice?" Li Xia took a look.
"Let's order some and try it first." A total of 7 crystal cores is not very expensive. Instant noodles outside also cost 5 crystal cores.
After they put the crystal core into the coin slot, an induction card came out. The two of them took the card to the food area and got their own plates.
"This is a big portion! The plate is bigger than my face!" Li Xia gestured to the size of the plate, scooped up a spoonful of vegetables, opened his mouth wide and stuffed it in.
"Hmm! So delicious!" He was surprised after taking the first bite. It tasted better than anything fried before the apocalypse. The tomatoes were sweet and sour, with thin skin and lots of juice. The eggs were soft and tender, and the lettuce had a sweet and fresh taste.
After Chen Hua ate the dish, his first reaction was that it was delicious. His second reaction was that this was not what the boss said. If it was just delicious, it would just be an advertisement. How could it be the answer they were looking for?
Li Xia stuffed a few more mouthfuls and ate very quickly. He picked up the plate and saw Chen Hua took a bite. He thought, "Captain. What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering what the boss means." He couldn't figure it out and took another bite of the food.
"Oh, maybe the boss just wants us to come and eat to increase the hotel's income. But I'm willing to eat such delicious food every day. At most, we can kill more zombies!" Li Xia didn't bother about Shi Jiu's words. She thought it was just an advertisement.
"Captain, let's wait a moment..." Before Li Xia finished speaking, he felt a sudden warm current flowing through his body. The supernatural powers in his perception were constantly being replenished, like the water in a pool slowly rising.
When they came here just now, they relied on their superpowers, and they had consumed a lot of their superpowers. Normally, it would take half a day or a day for the superpowers to recover slowly. Now this feeling appeared after they finished eating the food on the plate.
He lowered his head and looked at the food he had not finished eating, and suddenly stuffed all the food into his mouth. After he had eaten it all, the feeling became more obvious.
Seeing him suddenly stop talking and eat quickly, Chen Hua thought he was too excited because he hadn't eaten normal food for a long time. "Eat slowly, you're starving."
After Li Xia swallowed all the food, he clearly felt that his supernatural powers were being replenished, and he felt that his strength was even stronger.
"No! Captain, hurry up and eat. I know what the boss said is the answer!" Li Xia was indeed very excited now, but not because he was excited about eating such delicious food.
"What?" Chen Hua looked at him in confusion. "What's the answer the boss said?"
"Eat quickly! You'll know what I mean after you finish these dishes!" Li Xia urged him to eat all the dishes quickly. If the captain felt the same as him later, then there would be hope for their promotion!
Although Chen Hua didn't quite understand, he still ate all the food. While they were eating, Zhao Jin and Jiang Xiao also packed up and came over.
Seeing them eating enthusiastically, Zhao Jin couldn't help but ask, "Is this delicious?"
Li Xia nodded frantically, "It's delicious, especially delicious! The boss is really a kind person!" As he spoke, he began to praise the boss.
"What does deliciousness have to do with the boss being a kind-hearted person?" Jiang Xiao saw Li Xia's excited expression. Is this dish really that delicious?
Chen Hua had finished his meal by now. He also felt the heat flowing through his body, and also felt the changes in his own abilities. He clenched his fists and asked Li Xia in a low voice, "You felt it too, didn't you?"
Li Xia nodded at him, "Boss, you didn't lie to us, did you? The answer we've been looking for is right here!"
"What kind of riddle are you guys talking about? What's the answer?" Zhao Jin didn't understand what these two people were talking about!
"You two should go get some dishes and eat them too," Chen Hua said to Zhao Jin and Jiang Xiao. Then, thinking about the size of the plates, he added, "You can also share it between the two of you. This portion is quite large."
After the two of them went to order food, Li Xia understood what he meant. "Captain, you want them to try and see if they can feel it, right?"
"They are not psychics, so I don't know if they can feel the energy in here." Chen Hua nodded. Let's not talk about these situations for now, and see if they can taste it.
Zhao Jin and Jiang Xiao shared two dishes and finished eating under their watchful eyes. When Li Xia saw that they had finished, she couldn't wait to ask them, "How do you feel after eating this dish?"
Jiang Xiao was a little puzzled. "It tastes delicious. Didn't you guys just eat it?"
After Zhao Jin finished eating, he felt something strange in his body, as if something was about to come out. "I... feel a little strange."
"What?" Chen Hua and Li Xia asked in unison.
"It seems like something is about to come out!" Zhao Jin stretched out his right hand, and the skin on the palm of his hand squirmed. Under the gaze of everyone, a seedling grew from under the skin.
"This...what is this!" Zhao Jin was a little panicked. How could such a thing grow on her palm?
"Don't panic, this... should be a wood-related ability!" Chen Hua looked carefully at the small leaf in her palm. He had seen other wood-related abilities before. Although they were not the same plants, they also grew plants in the palm of his hand.
"I... have superpowers?" Zhao Jin was surprised. She didn't have them before. "Just after I finished eating, I felt a strange sensation moving through my body, and then this appeared."
The three of them looked at Jiang Xiao, their eyes seemed to ask her, "You really don't feel anything?"
Jiang Xiao felt helpless when she saw their inquiring looks. She was envious of Zhao Jin's special abilities, but she herself didn't feel anything!
"Could it be that Zhao Jin was bitten by a zombie before? Did he develop superpowers after being healed?" Jiang Xiao proposed this hypothesis. "Think about it, all the superpowers were present at the beginning of the apocalypse. I've never seen anyone develop superpowers midway through. The only turning point for Zhao Jin was the zombie bite!"
"That makes sense!" Chen Hua thought about it and decided that what Jiang Xiao said was very reasonable. After all, Zhao Jin's supernatural powers were really activated under their noses.
"I actually have superpowers!" Zhao Jin touched the seedling in his palm, very surprised.
"So, Captain, did you guys initially discover that the food here has benefits for superpowers?" Jiang Xiao finally understood their strange reaction just now.
"Well, we found that the food we just ate can enhance our superpowers and even upgrade them. Now it is possible to stimulate superpowers." Chen Hua stated his conclusion.
"Don't worry, Jiang Xiao. Maybe you can suddenly unleash your superpowers in the future." Li Xia was afraid that Jiang Xiao would feel unbalanced, so she hurried to comfort her.
"It's okay. Zhao Jin was in danger just now. It's not necessarily safe to activate superpowers. It's great to have superpowers, but I won't force it if I don't have them. I usually exercise to keep my body in good shape." Jiang Xiao was a little disappointed, but it didn't affect his mood. After all, superpowers are not something that can be obtained overnight.
After discussing the matter of superpowers in the restaurant, they planned to go back to the room to rest and get up early tomorrow morning to see how to kill zombies in the surrounding area and get crystal cores faster.
Shi Jiu had been watching TV over there. Now that she had employees, she didn't have to stay in one place for so long. She had never expected that she would be living a happy life lying down on the second day after opening the shop! Wouldn't she have to count crystal cores every day from now on?
Chen Hua and the others just came out. Shi Jiu greeted them after seeing them and said, "How is it? Did you find the answers you were looking for?"
"So, Boss, do all the food here have this effect?" Chen Hua asked Shi Jiu. If they all have this effect, then...
Shi Jiu smiled brightly, "Of course!" Otherwise how could it be called a product of the system!
"But I didn't feel it when I ate instant noodles yesterday." Li Xia remembered that he had eaten instant noodles last night as well, "and this morning too."
"The effect of the semi-finished product is definitely not as good as the one made in the restaurant, but it still has an effect. You have to explore it yourselves." Shi Jiu waved her hand. She also listened to Qin Lou's conclusion. She had no special abilities and had no way of sensing these things.
The four of them got the answers they wanted and went back to their rooms to rest.
She looked up at Qin Lou. Although it wasn't very late, she was already feeling sleepy. "Qin Lou, are you sleepy? Do you need some rest?"
Qin Lou sat behind the counter, watching TV seriously. After hearing Shi Jiu's question, he shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Not very tired."
"Then I'll go back to my room and rest. Someone who rented the room long-term before might come over later. They went back to pick up people from rooms 102-104 at noon. I don't know if they'll come tonight. If there's still no one here by 10 o'clock, just close the door and go back to your room. Someone might want to check in during your stay, so just explain the situation to them. If you have any questions, come and see me!"
Shi Jiu arranged what might happen. Qin Lou nodded as he listened. Although she had no expression on her face, she still felt his seriousness.
"Then... I'll go back and rest?" Shi Jiu walked to the door of the room, but finally turned back and asked one more question.
"Well, I can do it." Qin Lou looked at her, his dark pupils brightened a little, and his voice was as cold as the collision of jade.
