Chapter 273 The Former Female Protagonist of the Apocalypse Who Became Cannon Fodder (Part 2, Extra Chapter) [...]
"This is different. The source of the food is me, so I receive energy feedback, but the increase in strength is what you did. There is no cause and effect on me at all!" The cheat system felt even more aggrieved.
"Who says you didn't contribute anything? Look at it this way: if you hadn't given my sister Tong the information, I wouldn't have had the mind to continue making special meals."
"It's all because of you that I was able to pull myself together. I was so upset, but I still agreed to do the task for you. Don't be too picky. Let's be understanding and make do."
[You're using moral blackmail! Your sister Tong isn't unable to see me because of me.]
Although she kept whining and grumbling, the golden finger didn't mention breaking up. After all, this was Heaven's favorite daughter, and it would be easier to gain energy by following her.
When the golden finger was on the verge of tears, a group of other superpowered individuals outside were also on the verge of tears.
Zhao Feng didn't have any special abilities, but he could understand the suffering of these people very well, so he tried his best not to show any gloating.
"In other words, all you need to do is sincerely praise Boss Liu after she has prepared the special meal?"
"This is hardly a price to pay. Think about it, they're not even making money anymore, so it's perfectly normal for them to want to earn some emotional value. A few words of praise are nothing; it's not like they're losing anything."
Looking at Zhao Feng's barely suppressed smile and the other ability users around him who seemed to have been comforted by Zhao Feng, Long Yu calmly emphasized:
"It's not about praising the effects, but about sincerely praising how delicious the food at Boss Liu's place is, from the bottom of my heart."
The superhumans instantly erupted in chaos again. Zhao Feng, no longer able to gloat, quickly stepped forward to calm them down. By the time he had soothed them, his throat was so dry he could barely speak.
Long Yu then poured him a glass of water, and after he finished drinking it, he pointed towards the house and said, "There's another one waiting. Good luck."
Zhao Feng wiped his face, glared at Long Yu who was adding fuel to the fire, and then went to the shop to persuade Liu Yiyi. However, the two knew each other well, and Liu Yiyi knew exactly what skills he had, so she was completely unmoved.
"I'm not even talking about making any money from these; I'm practically losing money to do them. That's my only request. If the boss still doesn't agree, I'm not going to bother with anything else." Liu Yiyi slowly and methodically fiddled with her nails.
"For your sake, I didn't even get to see my sister one last time, and I couldn't even say goodbye. I hope the boss won't take away my last moments of happiness too?"
Liu Yiyi stopped calling him Uncle Zhao and started calling him Leader, which made Zhao Feng speechless, since he had indeed done something wrong.
Who would have thought that the person had left just when he was looking for her!
Because of his guilty conscience, Zhao Feng had a rare setback. Not only did he not ask Liu Yiyi to relax her conditions, but he also agreed to some other things, such as coming to support her new dishes.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao. These dishes are all edible for ordinary people. As long as you bring people to support me, I will be very happy. Once I'm happy, I'll naturally be in the mood to research other things."
After getting the answer she wanted, Liu Yiyi seemed to feel better. She not only changed how she addressed him, but also showed Zhao Feng the menu that was supposed to be made for ordinary people.
Long Yu finished all the skewers before Zhao Feng, who looked pale and unwell, came out. Seeing that Zhao Feng was walking unsteadily, Long Yu thoughtfully led him home. Only then did Long Yu ask him with great interest, "Judging from your listless appearance, you probably made the deal?"
Zhao Feng glared at him, his previous gentle demeanor completely gone: "Captain Long, listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language?"
Does being listless mean the deal is done?
What happened to the supposedly close relationship between the young couple? What kind of image does Liu Yiyi have in "Dragon's Heart"?
He reached for a glass of water, poured himself a large gulp, and then let out a long breath before stating the outcome of the negotiations.
"Xiao Saying said that this should have been your girlfriend. You're rich, powerful, talented, and good-looking, so why can't you be more assertive, win her over, and make her happy so she'll go easy on us?"
Zhao Feng looked at Long Yu with deep disdain and disappointment.
Long Yu remained unmoved: "If I were to win her over, wouldn't I be the only one suffering? It would be better to share both the good times and the bad."
Seeing Zhao Feng's vulnerable state was indeed quite amusing; Long Yu could probably understand Liu Yiyi's joy now.
But as for him to pursue her, forget it. Putting aside whether she would even be interested in him, that cactus alone would prevent it from happening.
After confirming that the two really had no intention of getting together, Zhao Feng reluctantly gave up on matchmaking. Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, he suddenly noticed a group of superhumans gathered downstairs at Longyu Tower.
"To prevent them from causing trouble at Boss Liu's shop, I have already told them that you are the culprit who caused this."
Long Yu looked at the other party with a half-smile: "I believe that with Brother Zhao's eloquence, he will definitely be able to appease the person."
After saying that, she even handed him two bottles of mineral water, saying, "If you get tired of talking, take a sip of water to moisten your throat, and you can persuade him for another two hours."
Zhao Feng glared at him, feeling that this kid was deliberately making things difficult for him. "I don't think I've offended you recently, have I?"
Long Yu nodded calmly: "I didn't offend you."
Hearing his answer, Zhao Feng was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard him continue, "It's just that you used the admission qualification that every student has, as stipulated by the state, to trick me into doing some work for you. How can that be considered offending someone?"
Zhao Feng, eyes wide open, was pushed away by Long Yu before he could even try to argue. Long Yu only left him with the words "Don't make a move" before letting him be dragged away.
The next day, Liu Yiyi finally added a new item to her menu: thirty servings of a special meal made with the petals of a mutated rose, suitable for fire-attribute users.
Today's paste wasn't pitch black, but rather a pinkish-white, and it actually looked quite nice in the little petal-shaped bowls.
Having been warned beforehand, the superhuman reluctantly stepped forward, picked up the bowl, and took a small sip. He was prepared to endure the bizarre taste, but to his surprise, it wasn't bad at all!
The texture is silky and smooth, with a slightly sweet taste and floral aroma. It may not be as good as the chef's skills, but it is worlds apart from the taste they imagined!
The onlookers were surprised that the fire-type ability user, who was usually short-tempered, was so patient. Not only did he look delighted while drinking, but he also showered the user with compliments one after another.
There were also impromptu talent shows, such as playing the guitar and singing while praising others, or loudly reciting a couple of lines of sentimental poetry. Even though there were only thirty people, they managed to create the effect of a thousand troops.
Liu Yiyi listened with a smile, her hands tucked inside her pockets. It was clear she genuinely enjoyed hearing these things.
The other ability users were dumbfounded. Fire-type ability users were being incredibly unethical, creating such a sensation right from the start, leaving no way out for the other ability users.
[Ding! You have successfully created a flower-themed dish and received heartfelt praise from thirty people. Congratulations, host, you have earned 30 food points.]
When Liu Yiyi had lowered everyone's expectations to the lowest level, she suddenly served up food that was of normal quality, which amazed everyone and earned them heartfelt praise.
Liu Yiyi listened for a while longer before waving her hand to tell them to stop. "You all did a good job. I hope you will continue to be so sincere in other places."
If I hear or see negative reviews from elsewhere, I'll definitely be unhappy, and when I'm unhappy, I can't do anything.
So when this group of people actually praised the special-supply meal in private, everyone just assumed they were trying to curry favor with Boss Liu, and no one believed that the food was really delicious.
In this way, the next wave of superhumans who come to drink the special meal will also have very low expectations, and then be pleasantly surprised by the taste.
Even years later, when human life returned to normal and zombies had become legends, the question of whether Liu Yiyi's creations were actually good remained a mystery.
Not long after Zhao Feng escaped from the superhuman, he received an invitation from Liu Yiyi. The invitation specifically mentioned that she missed her old leader and the people she had saved with Lin You, and that she would be hosting a banquet to invite Zhao Feng to help her notify them.
Zhao Feng, who has never met his match, was once again defeated by Liu Yiyi. While resignedly helping her find people, he also carefully revealed that Liu Yiyi's cooking skills were of a dark nature.
Everyone was stunned by what he said, and felt a little uneasy. But when they actually went to the appointment, they were all deep in thought when they saw the delicious-looking dishes on the table.
Looking at everyone's puzzled gazes, Zhao Feng felt as if he had been tricked by Liu Yiyi again, and he still had no evidence.
Jokes aside, business still needed to be done after the fun was over. Liu Yiyi handed the Beast Taming Manual to her old leader and explained how to use it.
Before Liu Yiyi could even give a detailed introduction, after seeing her interaction with the little peach tree and that the items were left by Lin You, the old leader had already hurriedly taken the items and made phone calls to contact experts from various departments for a meeting.
Liu Yiyi's introduction was somewhat general, and since she herself was unique and not representative, the authorities began collecting and analyzing various data from different people after they had studied the material.
Half a month later, when the school began enrolling students, Beast Taming Techniques had been included as a new course in the nine-year compulsory education curriculum.
Long Yugang and Cheng Xiao picked up five or six school children from the team on their way back, and the little ones started tugging at their sleeves and complaining.
"Uncle Long, the teacher gave us extra lessons, some kind of Beast Taming Technique incantation, which is even harder than a heavenly book."
"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Cheng, we also have to learn hand gestures. My fingers are almost tied in knots. It's so difficult."
"The teacher also said that it will be considered a major subject in the future, and its score in the college entrance examination will be about the same as that of Chinese and mathematics."
...
The adults were quite amused by the little ones' sighs and groans, but their amusement didn't last long before they were asked to learn along with them.
Whether you're an employee or a business owner, anyone under sixty is eligible, and those with good performance receive various benefits and subsidies.
Liu Yiyi lived a leisurely life, tending to her small shop and parents, and was pampered by all the other superhumans who treated her like a little princess.
Every time Long Yu's superpower improves, he goes to fight the cactus, and the outcome is evenly matched.
But whether it was because of Lin You's last words or Liu Yiyi's terrible cooking, the two still didn't develop a romantic relationship.
As time passed, humans and mutated plants found a way to coexist. With the emergence of more and more powerful beings, the world's energy became more and more stable. Although it still needs a lot of time to settle before it can be upgraded, things are slowly getting better.
