Chapter 040 Chapter 40

After a while, A Yan came back with a black and white T-shirt. Zhu Jue accompanied Chu Shen to change clothes in the bathroom.

"The fried rice you just wore is stained with fumes. Remember to wash them separately when you get home." She reminded him casually.

Chu Shen nodded repeatedly at this moment. He quietly looked at the favorability of the two people. Fortunately, it remained at ten points and did not drop.

The bag of clothes was given to Chu Shen, and A Yan and Zhu Jue, whose journey was interrupted again, looked at him.

"Why don't you go look for Brother Xiao?" Zhu Jue asked tentatively.

"Anyway, don't go to the food area." A Yan said.

Although Chu Shen's appearance is not the kind that is very memorable, it is still easy to recognize once you remember him.

In particular, he actually ran into a diner from the Chu Family Restaurant at the scene. If Chu Shen was caught by him, he would probably be subjected to a wave of tearful accusations from the diner on the spot.

A Yan just bought a colorful mask with anime characters on it. After Chu Shen put it on, he looked much more exaggerated.

Chu Shen made an "OK" gesture and said, "I'll go to an area away from the food court."

After Zhu Jue and A Yan left, he turned around and went back into the bathroom.

Just now at the egg fried rice scene in the food area, Chu Shen accidentally triggered and completed the hidden task of the Chef God System.

He was dragged away by two people before and didn't have time to take a closer look.

[Hidden Mission: Amazing Skills]

[Task description: Shock everyone with your cooking skills when no one knows anything about you.]

[Mission reward: Potato stew recipe.]

The recipe is ready! Chu Shen was very excited.

Although it looks like a simple dish of "potato stew with meat", egg fried rice is also a simple dish that sweeps all diners away.

I didn't expect to find a hidden mission at the comic convention. I came to the right place today!

Honestly speaking, Chu Shen himself was a little tired of egg fried rice, and now this stewed potatoes with meat was just the right dish, and he could finally try something different.

"It seems that potatoes are among the ingredients Yi Zhi mentioned." Chu Shen thought to himself, it would be a good opportunity to try out the new ingredients then.

This stewed potatoes with meat is much more convenient than egg fried rice. You can just stew two big pots and sell them out at noon. It's not like egg fried rice, which has to be fried in large plates.

However, the recipe for this potato stew doesn't specify whether it should be pork, chicken or beef, so I guess it can be made with either, right?

Considering the price of Chu's Restaurant, beef must be used. However, Chu thought deeply and decided to try all three types before making a decision.

Ayan and Zhu Jue used their mobile phones to observe the situation online.

#Bincheng Comic Exhibition surprisingly found Xia Guoxiao's headmaster alive, golden egg fried rice! #

In the hot topics, there is already a video of Chu Shen flipping the wok to make fried rice, as well as the images of tasters who were fascinated by the egg fried rice.

"Oh my god, my clothes are bursting! I am really bursting. I only took a bite of the mysterious guy's egg fried rice. How can there be such delicious food in the world? Cat head crying.jpg"

"The organizers are hyping it up? Isn't that too exaggerated?"

"It's not hype, it's real! I was there and I can testify! When the host was picking someone, I was next to the guy. Afraid of getting picked, many of us stepped back. The guy didn't have time to react and was caught. It turns out that the real person never shows his face! Ahhhh, I only got a bite, and now I'm haunted. Where are you, brother?"

"Ahhhhhhh, where is the diner who caught the guy on the spot? Which restaurant is this guy the owner of? Even if I say his last name is Chu, I can't find him at all."

Because the video captured Chu Shen’s face and profile, and the Weibo post was forwarded very quickly, it soon reached other platforms.

As a result, a local comment about Bincheng IP on a certain audio platform was screenshotted and reposted to Weibo.

"Isn't this Boss Chu? The restaurant is closed today and he went to the comic convention to make a fuss! What a scumbag!!!"

Now everyone finally knows that the mysterious fried rice guy’s surname is “Chu” instead of “Chu”.

Bincheng local, Chu, egg fried rice, opening a restaurant, these elements are combined together, and Sherlock Holmes immediately began to capture them on a large scale on different food review software.

"Friends and family, I found it! Use the Orange review software and search for Chu's Restaurant. This should be it!"

"Wait, am I seeing that right? The price per person is 288, and they only offer fried rice?"

The Bincheng Comic Exhibition is extremely popular every year. During the event, not only 2D-related bloggers but also many marketing accounts will repost the hot topics to take advantage of the popularity.

At this time, Ah Yan saw a person who was obviously a melon-eating blogger in the entertainment industry who was using the topic to attract traffic.

[Gua Ge Online]: #Bincheng CG Carnival# It's the annual Bincheng Comic Exhibition again. I heard that today a rich woman exchanged 520,000 for peripherals, and then the mysterious Chinese Chef Xiao showed up to cook golden egg fried rice. [Laughing and crying] The world of the second dimension is really wonderful.

The accompanying pictures are a few screenshots that have been passed around through who knows how many hands, and even the watermarks haven’t been removed.

A Yan and Zhu Jue silently forwarded the Weibo post to the two parties involved, especially Chu Shen. Now that Chu’s restaurant has been exposed, it will definitely be more difficult to have a meal in the future.

The sudden surge in traffic to the Chu Family Restaurant was not necessarily "a blessing from heaven" for Chu Shen. After all, the restaurant had limited capacity, he still had to go to school, and was only open one or two days a week, so he could only serve regular customers.

There were a lot of people at the comic convention on Saturday, with adults bringing their children. You could even see parents who were obviously confused accompanying their children. Some parents helped drag suitcases to shop, and some mothers were helping their children adjust their cosplay costumes.

"Hello, hello, where is this magical girl?"

While Ah Yan and Zhu Jue were checking the trending searches on their phones, they saw a middle-aged man with a bald head who looked at the two young people in ordinary clothes as if they were his saviors. He held up a color-printed A4 paper and asked them questions.

"My daughter said that this magical girl will come to perform autographs today, and asked me to take a video of her so that I can get a signature." The bald uncle wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Ah Yan stretched his head to look at his A4 paper, then looked for it on the carnival map in his hand and pointed out, "Uncle, the performance is not in this area, you have to go..."

She stared at the name on the A4 paper. Wait, one of the leaders of this magical girl group is named "Hara Ye"?

After seeing this name, Ah Yan suddenly felt a little heavy in his heart.

It should be, maybe, probably a coincidence, right?

But considering Yuanye's behavior today and how he refused to let them go to find him...the possibility that this Yuan Ye was Yuanye was simply too high.

She felt like giving up completely, so she simply took the bald uncle to the performance area.

"Thank you, young ladies and young men, you are so nice. No wonder my girlfriend said that although they may look strange and dare not say anything, they are all good people."

Under the leadership of A Yan and Zhu Jue, Uncle Baldhead successfully found the magical girl group that he was entrusted by the lady to line up.

"It's okay, it's okay. You're so polite." The two people who were given the nice guy card waved their hands repeatedly.

Ah Yan looked up at the performance stage and saw the different performance and autograph session times written on the carnival map.

Some specially invited cosplayers, actors, and voice actors came down to sign autographs after their performances.

"The Magical Girl Show is coming up in ten minutes. I have to go line up." The bald uncle said goodbye to the two of them.

"Magical Girl, what show is this from? Or is it a special cosplayer group?" A Yan was whispering to Jue Jue.

After all, when it comes to magical girls, this is simply a must for girls' comics. I don't know how many comics have the element and title of magical girls.

The way they were dressed didn't look like they were from the second dimension. Sometimes people in the circle would exclude people from outside the circle. Ah Yan didn't dare to talk loudly about it, so the two of them secretly started checking on their phones.

Ayan just found out that this is a cosplay performance of the anime "Yes! Magical Girl!" This anime is about five high school girls with different personalities who are chosen by another world to go to school during the day, and then dress up as magical girls during the day and night to save the world with magic.

“Here it comes!”

"It's about to begin, ah ah ah my goose girl!"

Ayan and Juejue were standing facing the stage, but because they came a little late with the bald uncle, they were almost in the middle even though they tried hard to squeeze in.

The tourists in the front row were now holding up their cell phones and cameras.

Accompanied by quite dynamic music, five beautiful girls, some tall and some short, wearing different types of wigs, appeared on the stage. They sang and danced in unison, and the theme song was playing on the big screen behind the stage.

“Aaaaaaaa——”

"So cute. So cute."

Five beautiful girls on the stage, dressed in different colored clothes, took turns to be the center, performing the signature transformations and moves from the anime.

The witch codenamed Black is a Gothic witch wearing a classical long skirt that reveals half of her legs. The witch in a white flower bud skirt has a gentle smile, as if she warms the world. The witch in red shorts and a high ponytail is wearing fiery red boxing gloves. The masked girl in a purple skirt and hood holding a crystal ball and a staff lowers her head and mutters to herself. The girl with blue curly hair sings like a mermaid.

For the fans present at the event, it was as if the characters in the anime had completely walked out of their bodies.

Whether indifferent, mysterious, gentle, or cheerful, they portrayed their characters accurately from their movements to their expressions and costumes. They did not actively wave or blow kisses, and there was no OOC at all.

But Ah Yan couldn't help but look at the tall figure with long black hair, wearing a hood and holding a crystal ball and magic wand.

After all——

[Girls Dress Up Game] The halo of these six words is really eye-catching!

To the point that Ah Yan couldn't help but wonder at this moment the other four actors who played the magical girls on the stage, were they boys or girls!

The main stage has a high view. Although Yuan Ye plays the mysterious witch "Zi" who always has her eyes half-closed as if she is sleeping, he can still easily spot his roommate in the audience below with his head down.

Zhu Jue, and his girlfriend A Yan.

The moment he saw the two of them, Yuanye's pupils shrank. Fortunately, he had already cultivated superhuman concentration in various situations of wearing women's clothes. In addition, the character he played today could cover most of his face, so he didn't notice his shock at that moment.

Why did this young couple suddenly come here?

They shouldn't be able to find me, right?

When it was Yuanye's turn to play the center role, he remained calm and controlled his eyes from glancing at Ayan and Zhu Jue.

But, but, he felt that they were both looking at him!

This feeling of a thorn in my side, especially when he is staring at me so clearly, I wonder if he really recognizes me?

It's impossible, right? Firstly, they didn't know they were wearing women's clothes. Secondly, with Yuan Ye's outfit today, anyone would think she was just a magical girl, because her facial features were not even exposed.

Yuanye was sweating at this moment. He suddenly remembered the preview of the promotional picture that the organizer had sent to him after confirming the invitation schedule.

It contains his female costume and his online name, "Yuan Ye".

At this moment, Yuanye wanted to kill himself in his heart. Could it be that Ayan and Zhu Jue saw that person and came here specifically to join in the fun?

Let you be lazy! Let you give a useless name! Even just a random name like lemon tea will do!

The name "Yuan Ye" is now a very well-known cosplayer in cross-dressing, and many people even think that he is actually a girl.

Because some of the related characters of "Yuan Ye" are so close, such as the doll, the snow princess, the villain daughter, the cruel fox girl...

The images of him that were photographed and widely circulated are not characters from many anime or novels, but are actually settings given by girls' dress-up games!

But when he appeared in these images, especially with strange wigs or monster ears, and wearing clothes that looked like anime game gear, Yuanye was regarded as a "coser" playing the role.

It’s better to say that I’m a cross-dresser than to say that I’m a cosplayer.

Just like that, Yuanye became inexplicably popular because of the system's tasks and accumulated a group of original coser fans.

This is why he can get ten free tickets to the annual event like Bincheng CG Carnival.

The popularity of "Yuan Ye" is indeed quite high.

When they thought of this, Chun Ye and his friends burst into tears.

From being embarrassed to wear women's clothes in the beginning to being used to it and even feeling it naturally now, God knows how much he has been through!

Although he has now accepted the fact that he is a cross-dressing cosplayer, it is still very embarrassing to let his three-dimensional friends know his two-dimensional identity!

Although his roommates are all nice people with good personalities, Yuanye is still a little worried.

If he were an ordinary male cosplayer, everyone would accept him, but a cross-dressing guy would really be considered a weird person! For example, his sexual orientation or something.

Moreover, being a woman might even attract those idiots who are looking for your lower self! Yuan Ye is in tears when he talks too much.

Despite all the frustrations in his heart, Yuanye, who was still performing on the stage, still completed all the coordination with his partners perfectly.

The theme song and ending song performances were about to end, and finally, it was time for the five magical girls to step forward one by one and say their own commands.

At this moment, Yuanye suddenly heard the voice of the mentally retarded system ringing in his ears.

[The system detects that the host is in stage PK...]

[The system detects that the host is currently dressed as a "magic girl" and the number of PK players is greater than 1, and automatically turns on forced matching PK.....]

Yuanye: Stop it, you @#￥%&* retard system! Stop it!

Yuanye was stunned. Damn your ancestors’ system!

Why PK at this time when it's not good to PK at other times, and also automatically detect? He's going crazy.

There was clearly no sign-in mission today, so how come he suddenly started PKing automatically? If he wins the PK, he will turn into a magical girl on the spot, and super powers will really appear on the spot.

Yuanye had never been so eager to lose a PK.

At this moment, several other magical girls have come forward and finished their "famous sayings". Yuanye forced himself to suppress the curses against the system in his heart. He held the crystal ball and magic wand in his hand, and his low, converted pseudo-voice was a little hoarse, making him seem even more mysterious.

“%……&*”

He murmured a magic spell.

If translated, it means - magic power flows in my palms.

At this moment, Yuanye saw various cursors appear in front of his eyes that only he could see.

【Magic】【Mystery】【Magic】Labels appeared on him one by one, showing his rating.

He forced himself to control his facial expression and saw the words "PK Big Victory" in despair.

At the same time, the performance of the five magical girls came to the last moment, and they needed to recite a spell collectively.

“*&%…”

"Magic will bless you—"

"Welcome to the magical world—"

At this moment, everyone at the scene seemed to hear the whispers of the magical girl in their ears.

The mysterious spell caused the magic power to surge silently, and Ah Yan saw it.

Her eyes were fixed and her lips were slightly parted.

The waves of magic passed over the heads of the audience, as if leaving something behind, and as if leaving nothing behind.

Because the spell was recited at the same time as the PK victory in front of him, Yuanye was unable to withdraw his magic buff at that time.

And at that moment, everyone seemed to be trapped in the same illusion, and a variety of interwoven colors suddenly appeared before their eyes.

They saw the flow of magic!

The next moment, huge cheers broke out at the scene.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

"Is there something wrong with my eyes? Did you see it just now?"

"Red, green, blue, and white. Damn, I thought it was a reflection from my glasses."

"Is it like a series of strips, or is it flowing?"

"Isn't this mass hysteria?"

"I don't care, I just saw magic!"

Yuan Ye, who was leaving the stage, became nervous when he heard the discussion below.

After reciting the magic spell, he withdrew the BUFF at the speed of light, but he didn't expect that this spell actually allowed the audience to see a moment of the magical world.

It's over, it's over. No one is going to come and investigate, right? Just treat it as mass hysteria.

Please, just assume that the organizer has used some laser or ray or something like that.

Yuanye saw Ayan and Zhu Jue in the crowd. The two of them were calm and incompatible with the others.

His heart was in his throat again.

These two guys are so calm, did they see it or not?

Previously, Yuanye guessed that Ayan and Zhu Jue might be special people who are engaged in metaphysics.

These two people could remain calm even when seeing a female ghost, and now they are still so calm when they suddenly see magic power appear!

Is it because they can see it?

A Yan and Zhu Jue are both studying Eastern metaphysics. If there are Yin-Yang Eyes, magic power and Qi should be similar things in essence, right?

Sitting at the autograph booth, Yuanye signed his online name with a glove on and a sad face (character trait), while he couldn't help but secretly glance at the crowd and thought.

The schedule was very tight, with a half-hour performance and a half-hour autograph session. Although Yuanye had seen all kinds of ACG characters, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his face when he saw a bald uncle happily getting his autograph.

"That's great, my girl will be very happy. I couldn't find the place at first, but a girl and a boy brought me here." The bald uncle said to the wilderness.

"They are so nice." The uncle looked towards the crowd and waved happily to Ayan and Zhu Jue in the crowd.

Yuanye's eyelids jumped when he saw this scene. "Was it the girl in the suspenders and the small hairpin and her boyfriend who brought you here?"

"Yes, yes. They are very nice people." said the bald uncle.

Yuanye's eyes suddenly fixed as he looked at the bald uncle in front of him.

Good man, uncle, it turns out that it was you who brought the Japanese here, bah, it was you who invited them here!

No wonder Ayan and Zhu Jue came here.

He spoke with a heavy heart: "Do you need to write anything else to your daughter?"

"Oh, is it okay? My girlfriend told me not to make requests on my own initiative." The bald uncle was flattered and became even happier.

Yuan Ye nodded solemnly. After the 30-minute autograph session, he changed his clothes. His mission for the day was over, and he felt relieved to have become a man again.

Seeing Yuanye successfully exit the autograph session with the other magical girls, Ayan and Zhu Jue both breathed a sigh of relief.

Very good, although there was a little unexpected episode, this one did not require two people to act as firefighters. The firepower was probably shared by five people, and A Yan and Zhu Jue, as spectators, successfully enjoyed the performance.

"I feel like we've been standing for a long time. Let's find a place to rest for a while." You have to stand to watch the show, and it's a bit tiring to stretch your legs after half an hour.

The two found a seat nearby because a new cosplayer was performing and people were lining up. Ah Yan quickly found a bench not far away. There were not many people at the corner.

There are only A Yan and Zhu Jue, so there is no need to be cautious when speaking.

Ah Yan leaned on Jue Jue's shoulder, and her little head shook: "Jue Jue, you know what, Yuan Ye's performance is really beautiful and authentic."

A mysterious magical girl, it totally has that vibe!

Yuanye had just changed his clothes and was walking out from the backstage to avoid people when he heard these words. He froze in place.

Sure enough, they recognized me?

Could it be that Ayan and Zhu Jue rely on the Yin-Yang Eyes to identify others?

In just a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through Yuanye's mind.

Should I show my cards? Should I show my cards? Or should I show my cards?

He took heavy steps forward and met the two people with pursed lips.

Yuanye said awkwardly: "You all...know everything."

These two must have known about it, right? They must have seen him use magic, ah ah ah, what else does he need to explain? Yuanye was frantic.

"Ah!" Ah Yan was shocked. How could Yuan Ye hear it by such a coincidence?

People were talking about her performance in women's clothing behind her back, so Yuanye must have felt socially dead.

Ah Yan felt embarrassed and tried to act as if he didn't care. The more he emphasized it, the more uncomfortable Yuan Ye would feel.

"Got it, that's great," she said.

It's really great to be able to be yourself bravely and not care about women's clothing.

"Great..." Was this referring to his use of magic in public? Yuan Ye couldn't tell for a moment whether this was a mockery or not.

He sat beside the two of them in silence, "Well, I didn't mean to hide this from you."

"After all, most people don't know how to do this," Yuanye said.

It would be strange for anyone to suddenly become a magical girl!

"That's true." Ah Yan nodded. It takes a lot of courage for an ordinary man to dress up as a woman.

"You can keep this a secret for me, right?" Yuanye looked at the two of them anxiously.

"Of course." A Yan and Zhu Jue nodded. Women valued their personal privacy, and they were not the kind of people who would talk nonsense.

In fact, the other roommates should have noticed it as well, but everyone just kept it a secret and didn't point it out.

"I too, I will keep it a secret for you." Yuanye said with a sigh of relief.

Ayan and Juejue were both confused. Wait, us?

Huh? What do we have to keep secret? Did you misunderstand something?
