Chapter 24 Chapter 24 [Jie, come quickly——Zai is stealing the house! ...
twenty four
[Zai is most afraid of straight balls hahahaha]
[Qiqi’s wife said it very well! ]
[What Zai said is not wrong, but it can make people feel depressed. Knowing the outcome but being able to do nothing but watch is painful, unless one can truly watch without any emotion.]
[The previous statement was euphemistic. In reality, only heartless people can watch and record.]
[It's said to be the easiest, but it's also the most painful. The leader himself couldn't just sit back and watch everything happen, otherwise he wouldn't have planned to make that world the only one where Odasaku could live to write novels.]
[This time I'm on Qiqi's side. Does Zai want to take Qiqi to the bottom of the pit? Qiqi: Verbal walu!]
I agree with Zaizai. If it were me, everything would be done to get back home. Losing my life just to change the plot would be too much... Besides, I don't think I'm powerful enough to change the plot. What Xiaoqi said sounds a bit overconfident.
[That's why you're off-screen now, instead of standing in front of Zai]
The audience in the live broadcast industry was probably screened. Some extreme remarks only appeared for a moment before being locked in a small black room. The rest of the comments were expressing their own opinions, but the clash of views between the two sides was inevitable, and the comments almost caused a quarrel.
Silent smoke of war was taking place on the live broadcast interface, but Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu did not pay attention to it.
They stood side by side, basking in the sunshine and calmly enjoying the early summer breeze.
Li Xiaoqi took a deep breath and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers.
"Mr. Dazai, it seems like some flowers have bloomed."
Dazai Osamu stretched and said, "It's lilac."
Li Xiaoqi was stunned and suddenly remembered that there was a flower field not far from the playground, which he heard was taken care of by Minister Inoue.
The flower field is right next to the school's grove. They saw it last time when they went to the grove to pick mushrooms.
Clusters of flower buds swayed on the branches. At that time, Li Xiaoqi's mind and eyes were full of mushrooms under the roots of the trees, and he didn't care what flowers were planted in the flower field.
Li Xiaoqi laughed out loud, "Then it must be driving very well."
"That's right, otherwise it wouldn't emit such a pleasant fragrance."
Dazai Osamu opened his arms, the wind blew his hair in front of his forehead, as if he was hugging something.
The conversation between the two, accompanied by the rustling of trees, added a peaceful and warm atmosphere.
The sunlight forced out the sweat, which glowed faintly on the corners of the forehead.
Li Xiaoqi looked at Dazai Osamu and smiled unconsciously.
Dazai Osamu turned his head and looked back, a slight smile on his lips.
The scene of the two people smiling at each other in the live broadcast interface quieted the quarreling comments.
Suddenly, the fireworks effects of gift-giving occupied half of the screen.
[Stop arguing, stop arguing, Qiqi has scored a big point! ]
[You are arguing, but no one cares about the parties involved (dog head)]
[Zai's smile is so doting, I'm so jealous, but if it were Qiqi, I could bear the pain and let it go]
【I am the best! 】
【Jie——come quickly——Zai is stealing the house! 】
[This gift update is great. This way Zai and Qiqi don’t have to run around so hard.]
While Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu were enjoying the sun, Mr. Ino's angry shout was heard.
"You two bastards, get back to work!"
Mr. Ino stood on the hillside surrounding the playground, waving a wooden stick.
In an instant, Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu turned around together and subconsciously bowed deeply.
"I'm so sorry—"
Mr. Ino huffed, blew his nose, glared, and snorted, then stormed off.
"The live broadcast has ended. This broadcast lasted 36 minutes and 50 seconds. I received a total of 1 iron pot, 10 matsutake mushrooms, 20 poultry, 33 animal meats, 69 bird eggs, and 99 firewood as gifts."
Administrator June's voice sounded.
Osamu Dazai: "..."
Li Xiaoqi: “…”
Suddenly I felt like I was being tricked by the system.
If they had told me earlier that there was meat on the gift list, they wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble to fight the wild boar!
Dazai Osamu and Li Xiaoqi's foreheads jumped, and they both showed speechless and angry expressions.
*
When Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu returned to the kitchen, the cafeteria had finished distributing meals, and only Mr. Ino was waiting in the kitchen.
"Don't try to bribe me with melons anymore!"
He left with a cold face after saying this.
As Mr. Ino stepped out the door, he turned around, took out a small notebook from his pocket and threw it over.
"Go out and buy ingredients for me this afternoon. This is the last job."
Li Xiaoqi picked up the notebook and asked puzzledly, "The last work?"
Should we lay them all off?
She subconsciously thought so.
Mr. Ino ignored him, snorted, and left.
Dazai Osamu didn't say anything, but took the notebook and said, "After all, it was our fault. Let's buy the ingredients quickly and come back to report."
Li Xiaoqi nodded, got into the car with Dazai Osamu, headed to the commercial street, and returned very quickly after completing their shopping.
Because the school is far away, it was already four o'clock when we got back.
Li Xiaoqi stood in the kitchen, looking at the empty kitchen with a puzzled look.
Dazai Osamu stood beside her and placed the notebook with the shopping list on the table.
Normally at this time of day, dinner for the students should have already started, but Mr. Ino, who was arranging the work, was nowhere to be seen in the kitchen, nor were the other two employees who also worked in the kitchen. In the huge kitchen, there were only the two of them, staring at each other in bewilderment.
“Squeak—”
The door leading to the outside of the kitchen was opened.
Li Xiaoqi looked over and saw Minister Inoue smiling through the crack in the door, and was instantly startled.
Dazai Osamu shuddered and slowly exhaled.
Feeling something was wrong with Dazai Osamu, Li Xiaoqi turned around in surprise and suddenly saw a hint of panic between his brows.
I don’t know how Minister Inoue managed to appear at the door so quietly that even Dazai Osamu didn’t notice her.
"Minister Inoue, why did you come here so suddenly without even telling me..."
Li Xiaoqi put on a smile and said with lingering fear.
"Yeah, scaring people can kill them."
Dazai Osamu nodded in response and patted his chest seriously.
Director Inoue walked in slowly, his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ino submitted his leave application yesterday, using all the vacation time he had accumulated from previous years. It's a month long, so I'll have to take care of the students' meals for this month."
Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Only the two of us?!"
Minister Inoue nodded, his eyelids opened a little, and a smile appeared in his black eyes.
For some reason, Li Xiaoqi took a step back, feeling that Minister Inoue in front of him was a little weird.
Dazai Osamu frowned slightly and looked straight into Minister Inoue's eyes.
Still smiling, Director Inoue said, "The other two were originally temporary workers, students from the previous two classes. Due to the stimulation they received during their missions, they developed a traumatic attachment to the cursed spirits. They've recently overcome this and returned to their jobs as sorcerers."
Li Xiaoqi fell silent, and it took him a while to find his voice again.
"Is it still possible?"
Dazai suddenly realized, "No wonder they are so skilled in using kitchen knives, they can even cut tofu into shreds, they are sorcerers."
Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched and he raised his hand to support his forehead.
"Is that the point?"
Director Inoue said with a smile: "Anyway, the cafeteria is left to you. There are not many teachers and students in the whole school anyway, so you are more than enough."
After saying that, she turned around and floated away.
Yes, lightly, without making any sound.
Li Xiaoqi felt his back tighten and his whole body went cold.
Dazai Osamu lowered his voice and suddenly leaned close to Li Xiaoqi's ear and said, "You're right. Minister Inoue is not human."
In an instant, Li Xiaoqi's face turned pale and he covered his ears, "Mr. Dazai, don't talk nonsense!"
Dazai Osamu raised the corners of his lips and shook his head.
"It's true."
Li Xiaoqi closed his eyes and looked like he was not going to listen.
Dazai arched his brows in amusement and said, "But don't worry, it's not a ghost or anything like that, let alone a cursed spirit. After all, this is the Jutsu High School."
After he said this, Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
"Could it be that Minister Inoue is possessed by the system?"
Dazai Osamu pondered for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth. "She's just an NPC created by the system. The system then altered the memories of everyone associated with this cafeteria. According to my investigation, the manager who is actually in charge of this cafeteria was attacked by a cursed spirit some time ago and is currently in a coma."
"Then the system took advantage of the situation and created this phantom, making everyone think that this was the new minister who replaced the previous one."
"You think, with a minister like this as a front, our strange behavior would have an explanation. I heard that the principal heard about our situation a while ago and wanted to come and ask about it, but was fooled by the minister."
Li Xiaoqi blinked and asked, "When did you go to investigate?"
Unexpectedly, Dazai Osamu raised his index finger and made a gesture of silence.
"secret."
Li Xiaoqi curled his lips. Seeing him so mysterious, he no longer had the heart to ask any further questions.
"Ding! The cooking function is unlocked. The host only needs to use the iron pot and firewood produced in Teyvat to quickly cook."
"Tip: Iron pots and firewood can be obtained through live broadcast room gifts."
The system suddenly made a sound.
Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu were stunned and looked at each other.
"Okay, okay, so you're waiting here."
Rarely, they spoke in unison.
So, Li Xiaoqi called out his backpack and found that the backpack interface had been categorized.
The column at the top of the backpack interface shows the number of gold coins. There are 280 gold coins left. Previously, in order to apologize to Mr. Ino and for daily expenses, I exchanged 40 gold coins into Japanese yen to buy fruit and spent them.
The exchange rate was 1:1000, so they exchanged 40 gold coins for 40,000 yen. This exchange rate can be said to be very reasonable.
The first page of the backpack is "Items", which contains a variety of items, most of which are gifts from the audience in the live broadcast room, and a few are obtained from opening the treasure chest last time.
The second page of the backpack is "Ingredients", which are various ingredients that can be used for cooking, such as mushrooms, sweet flowers, bird eggs, etc. The channels for obtaining them are to pick them yourself or to receive them as gifts from the audience in the live broadcast.
Li Xiaoqi took out the pot and firewood, and the next second he saw a light coming from the ground in front of him. The iron pot was supported by a rack made of wooden sticks, and the bottom was piled with firewood.
"...Isn't this the boiler in the wild camp in the game?"
Dazai Osamu seemed to have discovered something interesting and took out a matchbox from the kitchen counter next to him.
He pushed the box open, took out a match, lit it, and threw it into the firewood.
Miraculously, instead of slowly burning, the wood suddenly burst into flames like a gas stove.
The firelight reflected in the eyes of the two people, and they couldn't help but sigh.
“Wow.”
Immediately afterwards, a rectangular virtual screen appeared in front of me. In the middle of the screen was an image of a hot pot filled with ingredients, and there was a "Cook" button just below it.
Dazai Osamu raised his hand and pointed at the air, and a line of text flashed on the screen.
【Please add ingredients. 】
A purchase interface pops up next to the text. The interface is composed of squares, and the squares contain various recipes. The purchase price of each recipe is 10 gold coins.
"I still need to buy a recipe..."
Li Xiaoqi curled his lips and carefully recalled the recipes of common food in the game. "Wild mushroom chicken skewers are made with mushrooms and poultry, right?"
Her eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "I remember this, so I don't need to buy it."
After hearing this, Dazai Osamu asked, "Then how much mushroom and poultry should be used?"
Li Xiaoqi was stunned for a second, and his expression went blank instantly.
"Forehead……"
Oh my God, she didn't keep track of how much she used!
When she was playing games, she didn't even check how much she was using and just filled it up without thinking.
Seeing Li Xiaoqi's current state of mind, Dazai Osamu laughed and said, "One mushroom and one poultry."
"The recipes for the other dishes are all in my head. Don't worry, we won't waste any money."
After hearing this, Li Xiaoqi clasped his hands together and said worshipfully: "Mr. Dazai, you are my God!"
In a flash, Li Xiaoqi quickly took out a mushroom and a piece of poultry. A white light flashed, and the two ingredients appeared in her hand.
"Mushroom, get in there!"
Dazai Osamu curled the corners of his lips, imitated Li Xiaoqi's tone, and threw the poultry in.
"Poultry, get in there!"
Two squares appeared on the virtual screen, with patterns of poultry and mushrooms in them, and the cooking button reappeared.
Li Xiaoqi licked his lips and excitedly pressed the cooking button.
Suddenly, a prompt popped up on the screen.
[The host must purchase the recipe to complete the cooking process. Please purchase the recipe.]
In an instant, Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu fell silent.
“Tsk.”
An irritable smacking sound echoed in the kitchen.
When Geto Suguru pushed open the door to the kitchen, he saw Dazai Osamu and Li Xiaoqi squatting in front of a boiler. The burning boiler was built using primitive methods.
"Ms. Nana—"
He shouted, looking towards the boiler curiously.
“What are you doing…”
Unexpectedly, Dazai Osamu and Li Xiaoqi looked at him with annoyance and murderous eyes.
Geto Suguru's expression froze and he swallowed nervously.
"Um, I just wanted to ask, Satoru and I are going to Okinawa tomorrow for a mission. Do you have any local specialties you'd like?"
"ha?"
Before Li Xiaoqi could control his expression, he made a sound subconsciously.
In Geto's eyes, he thought he was being too rude.
He coughed lightly and silently took out a manual.
"This lists Okinawa's specialties. Tell me if you like anything... Um... Am I causing you any trouble?"
Xia Yujie's voice became lower and lower, and in the end, he even sounded a little nervous.
