The people outside left one after another, and the maid was specifically told that she did not need to stay on duty tonight.
The corridor was empty, and the noise from the front had been suppressed.
In the quiet room, Jiang Shuyin slept soundly. In the darkness, someone took her hand and placed it on her cold, still damp cheek.
Normally, even the slightest noise would wake her up.
Clearly, someone didn't want her to see them, and the bedside reading lamp wasn't turned on.
......
I woke up in the morning.
Jiang Shuyin sat on the bed, stunned: "..."
She noticed that her left hand was unusually cold. When she put her two hands together, one was cold and the other was hot. It felt like she was being torn apart, which was very strange.
Even if the left hand wasn't under the covers, the difference shouldn't be this big.
She rubbed her palms vigorously, just as her stomach started rumbling. She turned to look out the window and saw that it was already bright outside.
She set her alarm for 7:30 last night before going to bed, but looking at the sunlight outside now, it's definitely not 8 o'clock yet.
Jiang Shuyin took out her phone and saw that the screen was still black even after pressing the power button several times.
When was the phone turned off?
After powering on, the time displayed was 9:45. Jiang Shuyin sighed and asked the system, "Isn't it solar-powered? I've collected quite a bit these past few days, haven't I? How can you automatically shut down?"
[It saves power. You won't need me while you're asleep anyway, so just turn it on when you need it.]
The system was almost hacked yesterday, and I'm still feeling the lingering fear.
He cowered in a corner of the system space, trying to minimize his presence.
Jiang Shu nudged it: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
The voice system is currently undergoing upgrades and optimizations.
What changes have been made after the upgrade?
[It can simulate a person's voice based on their vocal waves, with a similarity of 99.99%.]
"Okay." It doesn't sound like it'll be of much use right now.
Jiang Shuyin got out of bed, changed her clothes, and went out to eat.
The maid lived next door to Jiang Shuyin. Hearing the door open, she rushed out and, upon learning that Jiang Shuyin was hungry, pushed out a bowl of yogurt and dried fruit from her room.
“This was sent by Mr. Fushit, and I put it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.”
Jiang Shu scooped up a spoonful and tasted it: "It tastes good, thank you."
After finishing a bowl of yogurt, I was still hungry, since it wasn't a proper meal.
She went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Several people were busy in the kitchen, preparing ingredients for lunch.
The cleaned pumpkins were piled up like a small mountain, and someone was cutting them into pieces on each of the three cutting boards.
Seeing Jiang Shu lead them over, they glanced at each other, recognized her, and felt too embarrassed to shoo her away.
Jiang Shu asked, "Is there anything I can eat now? I forgot to eat breakfast."
The auntie in charge of serving the food frowned: "Why are you here now instead of eating when it's time to eat? Go back and wait. Lunch is in an hour. Don't delay everyone's work."
The head chef knew a little about what happened last night and lured Jiang Shu out:
"I left you some soy milk and steamed buns. Now that you're here, I thought I'd ask you something."
The soy milk was kept warm in the insulated box, and Jiang Shuyin took a sip to moisten her throat.
The steamed buns were fresh off the steamer. Jiang Shuyin held them, still hot to the touch, and quickly blew on them a few times before taking a couple of hasty bites: "You slurp."
The head chef rubbed his hands together, a smile that was almost fawning on his face: "Last night our crew found some big bones. Do you think we can make soup with them? We don't know what kind of animal they are, but their ribs are longer than a human's."
Jiang Shuyin carried the soy milk over to take a look. The giant bone had specially hired four people to guard it. When she arrived, they stood on both sides and waited. Captain Huili had given them a heads-up in advance.
She had just gotten closer when she heard her phone chime.
This is the bone of the mutated giant shark; all the organic matter inside has been absorbed.
When large marine animals die, their bones usually sink to the seabed along with the body. How did they end up on the ship?
Jiang Shuyin called over the crew members who had caught bones last night to ask them questions.
The crew member, who had just woken up, mumbled in a daze: "Last night I heard a noise outside. The ship hit something. When I went out, I saw a spine, more than ten meters long, floating on the water under the signal light. The big one was hard to retrieve, so I used my claws to drag it and pulled the smaller one up to look at it."
Fearing he might get into trouble, he quickly explained, "I haven't even touched it."
Jiang Shuyin is not a forensic doctor and cannot deduce the true cause of death of the mutated giant shark.
The head chef coughed lightly twice and glanced at her a few times.
Jiang Shuyin glanced at him helplessly and asked the system: Can these bones be used to make soup? They're not poisonous, are they?
[The toxic substances were absorbed by the predators, and the bones floated on the sea surface for a long time, so the toxicity became almost negligible after cooking.]
Jiang Shuyin turned to the head chef and smiled, "We can make soup."
"That's great! Winter melon tastes best when it's simmered in bone broth." The head chef reached out and dragged two skeletons weighing over 100 pounds each towards the kitchen.
It was lunchtime, and the aroma of meat broth from the kitchen seemed to have wings, filling the entire boat with its scent. People who eat vegetarian food for a long time become more sensitive to the smell of meat.
Several foodies couldn't stand still and peered eagerly into the kitchen from the doorway.
The head chef pushed out a bucket of vegetables, smiling like a Buddha: "The meat soup won't be ready until tonight. It's only been simmering for half an hour. Just wait."
As soon as the buckets of food were placed on the table, the head chef raised his voice and announced the names of the dishes: "The staple food is pumpkin and millet porridge and steamed buns. The side dishes are stir-fried tender pumpkin and winter melon slices."
"Ah?" came a series of sighs.
The head chef immediately became displeased and slammed his silver rice scoop against the food container: "If you're not going to eat, then get out of here. Usually, when I want to eat a little more, you never leave me any. I'm not picky."
