Chapter 97 Shen, the Good Man, and an Unexpected Guest
The raft approached Kleedo's bamboo raft.
Kleedo's spirits lifted. The enormous raft, such a directional sign, could very well be the player who knew how to cook.
Meanwhile, Shen Jue had reached the final step in forging the Flying Halberd: fusing the materials.
Just as she was preparing to begin a new round of integration and development work.
[Krito, a friend of Master Lulum, requests a visit from you.]
Shen Jue didn't want to pay attention to the announcement, but a notification popped up the next second.
(Let him come up; he's easy to fool! If you treat him well, you might get a good return.)
With the hint so blatant, Shen Jue couldn't pretend he hadn't seen it.
Fortunately, the crafting process is preserved step by step, so there's no rush to integrate the materials.
Shen Jue walked to the entrance of the raft and saw Kleedo, with long blue hair, blue eyes, and a beautiful figure, who looked like a sea elf.
It seems that player was right; this blue-haired conman is indeed exceptionally good-looking.
The suggestion that he's easily fooled does make him seem a bit naive. Compared to the player whose words are hard to believe, the suggestion from the "big dad" is more credible.
After a moment's thought, Shen Jue agreed to Clidor's request and let him come up.
When he learned that he could get on the raft, Kleedo's eyes lit up.
Because the wooden raft is much taller than the bamboo raft.
From Shen Jue's current angle, he needs to look down to see the small bamboo raft underneath the wooden raft. Klido's bamboo raft is much smaller than Lulum's bamboo raft.
Shen Jue took a step back, giving Klido room to come up.
Before Kleedo came up, the observant Shen Jue noticed that Kleedo was holding half a gold coin, and judging from the gap, it looked like the other half had been bitten off.
Combining what she saw earlier, it seemed like Kleedo was chewing something. Could it be that Kleedo was eating gold coins?
Unaware of Shen Jue's thoughts, Kleedo boldly put the remaining half of the gold coin into his mouth and ate it.
Shen Jue was inwardly shocked, but she didn't show it on her face. She skillfully used words and phrases to warmly welcome Klido's arrival.
When Kleedo came up, he looked up and saw Shen Jue's face.
He was stunned. He had no words to describe the beautiful woman in front of him. Before, Shen Jue's position had been a bit of a blind spot, which made it difficult for him to see her clearly.
Now that he saw it, he was a little stunned, feeling like he had seen it somewhere before.
He looked at Shen Jue curiously and asked in confusion, "You look familiar. Have we met before?"
Looking at Kleedo's unfamiliar face, Shen Jue thought to herself that this master was actually quite humorous. She was meeting these NPCs for the first time, so how could she know them?
She smiled and replied, "Master Kleedo, I am Shen Jue. I don't think we know each other. This is our first meeting."
Kleedo seemed to realize that his words were a bit strange, and he scratched his head sheepishly.
Then, after examining the raft, she suddenly remembered the name. Wasn't she the legendary player who owned a giant raft and could make the most delicious food?
He looked at Shen Jue excitedly and asked again, "Are you really Shen Jue?"
Shen Jue nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, it's the real deal. Master Lulumu mentioned me to you?"
Kleedo thought he was having a really bad day, drifting at sea for a whole day, but unexpectedly he stumbled upon the person in question.
Now I finally met Shen Jue and even boarded her raft.
He got very angry as soon as Shen Jue mentioned Lu Lumu.
Kleedo gave Shen Jue a thorough dressing-down of Lulumu, and told Shen Jue the whole story.
After hearing this, Shen Jue couldn't help but find it amusing, never expecting that Master Lu Lumu had this side to him.
She looked at Clyde with sympathy and said, "Master Clyde, don't worry, if there's anything I can help you with, just tell me."
"Could you prepare a sumptuous dinner for me?" Cleo asked expectantly.
Shen Jue wanted to laugh; why were these masters so obsessed with food?
Have they never eaten delicious food?
She would certainly fulfill the master's small requests; that's not a problem, but not now.
"Of course, no problem. But it's not mealtime now, and I have things to do. Master, you can have some fruit to tide you over, or you can take a stroll on the raft."
After explaining these things, Shen Jue headed towards the crafting platform.
Behind him, Kleedo picked up a plate of strawberries and followed Shen Jue around without going anywhere.
Seeing that he didn't make any move, Shen Jue let him follow.
Sometimes, it's safer to keep people under your watchful eye.
Back in the crafting area, Shen Jue continued to fuse the materials for the Flying Halberd, reaching a crucial moment in the fusion process.
She turned the furnace on the forging platform to its highest temperature, picked up pieces of refined iron and other materials with iron tongs, and put them into the furnace one by one to melt.
At this moment, Kleedo watched Shen Jue's actions with curiosity. He moved closer to the furnace, wanting to get a better look at the materials. Suddenly, a blast of scorching heat hit him, and Kleedo quickly took a few steps back.
He looked at the flames in the furnace with surprise and found that these flames seemed to be somewhat different from others.
"Chen Jue, what's going on with the flames in your furnace? Why do they look so much hotter than normal flames?" Kleedo couldn't help but ask curiously.
Shen Jue smiled and explained, "Master Kleedo, the flame in this furnace was specially crafted by me. Because the materials required for fusing the Flying Halberd are very special, ordinary flames are difficult to forge. I specially collected volcanic rock powder and fire spirit crystal powder and mixed them together. As long as it is lit, it can have this special flame."
Kleedo suddenly realized, and he looked at Shen Jue with admiration, saying, "Shen Jue, you are truly a genius. Not only can you create such advanced weapons, but you also possess such superb acumen."
Shen Jue smiled modestly and continued to concentrate on melting the materials. She mixed the molten materials together, then used tongs to remove them one by one and place them on the forging table. Next, she sculpted and shaped them.
Once the synthesis is complete, wait patiently.
The crafting time for the Flying Halberd is 3 hours.
Having finished gathering the materials, Shen Jue clapped his hands.
Lido, standing next to him, had already finished showing off a plate of strawberries.
Looking at Shen Jue's finished movements, she asked, "Are you going to prepare some food?"
He met Clidor's expectant gaze.
Shen is a kind and generous man; how could he possibly disappoint this master's expectations?
She nodded, telling Clifton to wait a moment while she prepared dinner.
I went to the kitchen and began preparing a sumptuous dinner.
As for the specifications, they were the same as Lulumu's, except that only Krido was included, so Shen Jue didn't prepare as many.
She selected some fresh seafood and vegetables and decided to make a seafood salad and braised fish.
In addition to the previously prepared dried beef and other meat products.
The prepared seafood salad contains various seafood, such as prawns, scallops, and crab meat, paired with fresh vegetables and fruits, resulting in a delicious and nutritious dish.
Braised fish is made with fresh sea fish, stewed in a special sauce, resulting in delicious and tender fish.
Kleedo waited on the side, watching Shen Jue busy in the kitchen, and he was very much looking forward to dinner.
He couldn't wait to taste the dinner that Shen Jue had prepared.
Cooking is a basic skill, and soon, Shen Jue served up her carefully prepared dinner: seafood salad and braised fish.
She placed the food on the table and smiled at Clido, saying, "Tonight's dinner is seafood salad, braised fish, and corn and pork rib soup. Please enjoy."
Looking at the delicious food before him, Kleedo was filled with emotion. He thanked Shen Jue, then picked up his utensils and began to savor the flavors.
The freshness of the seafood salad and the tenderness of the braised fish brought him immense satisfaction. Finally, he enjoyed a bowl of corn and pork rib soup to cleanse his palate.
At this moment, Krido, who is enjoying the delicious food, will forgive Lurum for a second.
Shen Jue watched as Clidor enjoyed the food, feeling quite content.
The ultimate goal of cooking is to create delicious food that earns praise from others.
Although Krido didn't say anything, he ate quite quickly, which clearly showed his satisfaction with the dinner.
Easy peasy!
While being sucked in by the storm, Kleedo noticed that Shen Jue was not activated.
"Shen Jue, why aren't you eating this delicious food?"
She pulled out a sandwich cookie, which she had specially made beforehand, filled with dried nuts and fruits.
It's nutritious, high in calories, and delicious.
Crito: "What are you eating?"
"Would you like one of these sandwich cookies?"
Faced with delicious food, Clito couldn't resist and immediately said, "Give me one."
Shen Jue readily took out a sandwich cookie and handed it to Kleedo.
Clito accepted it with both hands as a sign of his respect for the food.
During dinner, Shen Jue and Klido talked a lot about food.
Kleedo greatly admired Shen Jue's culinary skills and was very satisfied with Shen Jue's hospitality.
To express his gratitude, he decided to teach Shen Jue a little trickâalchemy.
Kleedo pulled out a small booklet, and seeing this familiar gesture, Shen Jue assumed it was for her.
Just as I was about to reach out and take it, I noticed that Kleedo had pulled out a quill pen and started writing and drawing on the booklet.
Shen Jue's inner voice wiped away sweat, thankful he hadn't reached out to take it, otherwise it would have been incredibly awkward.
After a long while, Kleedo finally placed the completed booklet into Shen Jue's hands.
Upon closer inspection, Shen Jue discovered that Kleedo had recorded some key points and insights about alchemy in the common script.
Clifton added, "Alchemy is actually quite simple; it only requires following certain proportions and steps. The key is that alchemy is not just a skill, but also an understanding of materials and techniques, and a cultivation of one's own soul."
Shen Jue flipped through the alchemy booklet, listening attentively to what Kleedo was saying. She understood some of it but not all, but she still nodded gratefully to Kleedo.
