Chapter 39 Cabbage
"Chu Chu Chu Chu, you're amazing! You're almost always number one in performance!"
"Wow, you are my role model. How did you become number one? Can you share your experience?!"
"Also, what's with the criticism on the notice board? I heard you got a lot of points deducted for repairing your milk tea shop. Is that true?"
The systems are more enthusiastic than each other.
Chu Qingkong answered patiently one by one.
He blinked in annoyance, then curved his lips into a smile that looked both pretty and innocent. "...Criticized? It's true. The main reason is that the system mall is too fragile."
The systems gasped in shock, feeling a surge of admiration for him and marveling at his beauty.
The door was pushed open with a creaky sound.
Chu Qingkong was completely unprepared and met the cold gazes of the three people outside:
“…”
Help! What kind of car rollover scene is this?
The three powerful hosts remained silent, standing outside the door, waiting for him to call their names first.
They should have known that Chu Qingkong was the most popular system in the system world. In this place where performance was paramount, "Rank 1" status meant that even the main system had to personally wash cups, fan him, and serve him tea.
But after seeing this scene, I still feel that the circle of people surrounding my own system is annoying.
When they heard "a lot of points were deducted", Shi Weizhi's eyes turned cold, Pei Ciyi frowned, and Ming Fengque turned his gaze away.
Is this a lot of points? If I pay for it myself, I will definitely be able to crush my rival, right? Chuchu said it in a nice way, it’s not impossible for me to give the points directly to him.
Chu Qingkong hadn't figured out how to face them yet, so he raised his hand pretending to be calm and said, "Here they come."
He looks like a scumbag who is still stubborn even when facing death.
Shi Weizhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Pei Ci responded with a "Hmm?"
Ming Fengque curled the corners of his lips.
From their eyes, you can see a clear sentence: Who are you calling?
If the person being called is not himself, or if the person being called does not specify a name, then no one here will answer him.
The systems' gazes followed suit. Unlike the hosts, they couldn't tell at a glance which system-host pairing they were. They only saw three extremely powerful bosses—
Who is Chuchu talking to?
…
The venue was a large oval auditorium, and a black rabbit with long ears was walking quickly towards them.
First of all, it has not offended anyone. Secondly, it is an NPC who does not love his work very much. Every time he sees Chu Qingkong's desperate appearance, it is like Squidward seeing SpongeBob, and his heart will be so upset that it will explode.
Today, I can finally see Chu Qingkong get humiliated.
Congratulations! Let’s celebrate together!
It raised its ears and arrogantly pushed open the door of the system waiting room, ready to look at the nervous Chu Qingkong.
Huh? Why are there so many people in the waiting room? Holy shit, the hosts are here too! Isn't this against the rules?
It doesn't matter. Wouldn't this just cause the car to flip over earlier? Let it see Chu Qingkong's expression—
Chu Qingkong rushed forward, grabbed its two short rabbit hands, and said with tears in his eyes, "Here you are, Brother Rabbit."
The three bosses: "..."
How dare you call other people's names in front of us?
At first, you lost all your points.
Shi Weizhi began to regret not throwing the rabbit into the infinite flow copy. Pei Ci wondered in his heart whether the braised rabbit meat and spicy rabbit head were really delicious. Ming Fengque seemed to be thinking about something, wondering whether the rabbit would like to play with the bird he raised.
Three murderous intentions came, and the Black Hearted Rabbit broke out in a cold sweat.
Why does it feel like I've been tricked by this rubbish system again? He shouldn't drag it into this mess if he's fine!
After a moment, the black-hearted rabbit stiffly pulled out his rabbit hand: "Ah, yes, here I come... I'm here to announce the program of the event, everyone, please follow me."
Its eyes narrowed, and a long list of activities appeared out of thin air in front of it. Finally satisfied, it held the list and led the way forward, ushering everyone into the event hall.
The order of the team behind it was also very chaotic, with Chu Qingkong walking in the front. All three hosts wanted to go with Chu Chu, but they said it was unnecessary. There was no need to fight directly when everyone was there.
Then do a little action.
Shi Weizhi raised his fingertips, and a particle halo formed a natural barrier, repelling everyone.
Pei Ci threw out a talisman, which combined with the blood formation to create a hot circle that no one could enter.
Ming Fengque turned his sleeves, and his spiritual power turned into flying birds. They whistled and crashed into two encirclements, and were instantly reduced to ashes. However, because his spiritual power was endless, the flying birds were also endless.
Hundreds of moves were exchanged in silence.
Other systems & hosts: "..."
What the hell is this!
When they arrived at the activity hall, Rabbit directed everyone to sit in their seats.
The systems had already found their hosts, and they happily looked up to find their location, then scratched their heads in confusion.
The system's seat is a blue sofa, and the host's seat is a red sofa. Logically, it's perfectly normal for one blue and one red sofa to be side by side, but why is there a blue sofa and three red sofas in the middle?!
The systems were shocked.
Before he had time to think about what this meant, he saw Chu Qingkong and the three big guys who were at the door earlier walking over...
Systems: “?”
“???!!!”
What? Our Rank 1 is actually bound to three hosts?
No wonder there was a huge fault, no wonder he was so exhausted that he was forced to reclaim the main divine space... Everything is explained...!!
The systems looked dazed and shocked. They didn't even hear the opening remarks of the activity read out by the Black-Hearted Rabbit. There were only five words in their minds - "Damn, too much", "Damn, I can't get ahead of him".
What kind of a king is A001?! They're usually exhausted just binding one host, and there's actually a system that can bind three hosts at once?!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the middle seat, and flames shot up into the sky, dyeing half of the auditorium red!
Ming Fengque quickly stretched out his hand, rained down Phoenix Ice, and stopped the fire rising into the sky.
...Yes, the three big guys were still fighting in front of their seats.
In particular, the order of the seats, one blue and three red, is arranged according to "host, system, host, host", which is unbalanced, meaning that the host seat on the far right is particularly far away from Chuchu.
In order to grab the nearest seat, the three of them refused to give in and attacked at the same time!
In an instant the seat exploded.
Black-hearted rabbit: “?”
Chu Qingkong: “?”
Other systems: "..."
The most annoying thing is that his hosts are so powerful and are willing to earn points for him.
The systems looked over with envy, drooling.
The system of acting like a spoiled child has the best fate!
The destroyed seats had a self-repair function, and soon the four seats reappeared, neatly arranged.
Chu Qingkong acted quickly and adjusted the straight seats into a circle before they exploded again. This time, the three hosts finally sat down with some difficulty.
Chu Qingkong was in the middle, Shi Weizhi and Pei Ciyi were sitting on his left and right, and Ming Fengque was sitting opposite him.
The black-hearted rabbit had to hold back desperately to prevent himself from exploding on the spot. He took a deep breath, lowered his head again, and shifted his gaze to his long activity schedule.
It doesn't matter. The activity program it personally designed will definitely cause Chu Qingkong to fail.
"The first program is a cooking competition."
Everyone: “…”
Everyone: “?”
The Black Hearted Rabbit's expression remained unchanged: "Since ancient times, if you want to get the heart of a system, you must first get its stomach. Cooking competitions are very suitable as activities for system hosts."
The sound of the door being pushed open was heard, and the NPCs pushed small rolling carts, bringing in the "hosts' cooking necessities."
Various fresh vegetables and meats were neatly stacked, and the most eye-catching thing was a large pile of fresh and juicy bok choy, which formed a small hill.
"Considering that some hosts can't cook," Black Heart Rabbit coughed and said calmly, "we've designated stir-fried bok choy as the dish. If there are hosts who can cook, they can make other dishes after the designated one, and they'll get extra points."
The NPCs placed the cabbages one by one on the table in front of the hosts.
Black Heart Rabbit: "This is the host's competition, please do not interfere."
Chu Qingkong: “…”
He began to ponder, thinking that this activity was a bit unconventional. As an excellent system, he had an extraordinary understanding of his host. As far as he knew, Shi Weizhi had never cooked for himself, Pei Ciyi was a gentleman who stayed away from the kitchen, and Ming Fengque was the only one who could cook a little, but his previous ingredients were mostly pigeons...
Among the other system hosts present, some came from the food plane and were almost as good as the God of Cooking.
If he could intervene, he could calculate the seasonings needed down to the milligram, and then help control the heat. But he couldn't intervene now, and it seemed like he couldn't win this battle.
"Chu Chu," Shi Weizhi stared at him calmly, "Do you want to win?"
Chu Qingkong immediately threw the thought out of his mind and comforted his host: "Don't worry, I don't want to. Even if the first-place system earns 100,000 points, it doesn't matter. I don't need these points!"
My heart bleeds when I speak words against my will.
Pei Ci looked at him with a half-smile - it seemed Chu Chu didn't know that the host who won the competition could take him away for a while.
That doesn’t matter. Don’t tell him for now, to avoid this little liar running away again.
Ming Fengque nodded slightly: "I will win for you."
After a while, the NPCs set up the competition venue. The hosts' tables were neatly placed with cutting boards and knives, and electric hot pots were also available.
The Black-Hearted Rabbit took out a pocket watch and, like the pocket watch rabbit in the fairy tale, lowered his head to look at the watch.
"The time limit is thirty minutes—"
"start!"
As soon as the words fell, white light suddenly appeared in the middle of the scene, flying and dancing like dazzling meteor light belts -!
The white light was too bright and sharp, and even the human figure could not be seen clearly.
The only sound was the sound of the kitchen knife hitting the chopping board, which was continuous and almost inaudible.
The other systems sitting far away couldn't help but close their eyes and opened their mouths in shock. After a long silence, they realized that it might be... the light of a kitchen knife cutting cabbage?
The innocent little cabbage was instantly surrounded by swords and sabers.
Systems: “…”
Is this the strength of the host of A001?
For some reason, it feels like the kitchen knife limits their performance.
Is there a possibility that it should be at least an S+ level weapon?
