When he got home, Xu Qiao took a quick shower, blew his hair until it stopped dripping, and went out.
Lu Yang has already put dinner on the table.
He was worried for a day. When he received the news that Xu Qiao had returned safely, there was only steamed rice in the pot. Then he was in the mood to process the ingredients and fry up three home-cooked dishes, one meat and two vegetarian dishes, within an hour.
If Xu Qiao's cooking skills can be rated at 80, Lu Yang can score at most 65. After all, he is not yet 16 years old. He used to be taken care of by his parents. Now he spends most of his time in the school cafeteria, so he can practice his cooking skills. There are not many opportunities, and sensible middle school students do not dare to waste those expensive fresh ingredients.
Despite this, Lu Yang still felt that the lunch boxes sent by Qin Chi were superfluous: "He didn't know that I could cook?"
Xu Qiao: "The first time we teamed up to take on a mission, he prepared one for each teammate. This is also a good intention."
As she said this, she curiously opened the exquisite wooden lunch box.
No wonder it feels quite heavy when you hold it in your hand. It turns out that there is a layer of white porcelain inside, and the five sections are filled with rice, braised pork ribs, vermicelli prawns, braised eggplant, and broccoli mushrooms.
Steaming hot and fragrant.
Xu Qiao's appetite suddenly increased. He placed the lunch box in front of him, gave Lu Yang two pieces of ribs and two prawns, and started eating.
Lu Yang's throat rolled, and he tasted it appreciatively.
Xu Qiao smiled at him: "Is it more delicious than what I cook?"
Lu Yang: "... He must be too busy to have time to improve his cooking skills."
Xu Qiao: "I can't tell, it might be God. Or pursue perfection and like to do the best in everything."
Looking back on Qin Chi's method of dissecting the alien beast crystal core, including his attention to clothing and decoration, Xu Qiao is more inclined to the latter.
Lu Yang was noncommittal. Seeing that Xu Qiao was eating well, he voluntarily went to eat what he had cooked.
Of course, after Xu Qiao finished eating the box lunch, he also accompanied the middle school students to eat up the homemade dinner in a dignified manner, without wasting any of it.
While Lu Yang was washing the dishes in the kitchen, Xu Qiao leaned on the sofa and shared his experiences during the day. He only said that they had successfully solved the siege of nine skink lizards, but did not mention the female lizard.
Lu Yang: "It seems that your three teammates are very reliable."
Xu Qiao hummed.
Sun Fushan had probably just finished his meal, and he excitedly made a speech in the group chat: [@Qinchi, did you make the lunch box yourself? It's so delicious, a hundred times better than what I make at home. 】
Xu Qiao: [+1]
Meng Li: [+1]
102 next door, Qin Chi just stepped out of the bathtub, ignoring the water stains on the ground that was tossed by the fire dragon's spiritual body, and used the fire power to evaporate the water vapor all over his body. . After arranging his short hair in front of the mirror, Qin Chi opened the bathroom door, quickly pulled it back as if he didn't know that the fire dragon was about to follow, and accurately stuck the half-expanded head of the fire dragon tightly.
Fire Dragon: "..."
Sitting at the single dining table in the restaurant, Qin Chi took out his lunch box. Before opening it, his eyes fell on the flower basket on the side table.
In order to prevent the flowers from mutating after leaving the store, the florist only sells cut bouquets and sprays odorless anti-mutating agents on the broken stems. This basket was ordered on Friday. In just three days, the once beautiful roses and peonies have begun to bloom around the edges. Yellowing.
The five-meter-long fire dragon snaked along the ground. It had already lost interest in the flower basket and came directly to the dining table. It raised its huge head and stared at Qin Chi with its golden vertical pupils. It breathed out flames and asked: "Why are you the only one allowed?" Touch, don’t let me touch? ]
Qin Chi said while opening the lunch box: "The lotus belongs to water, you might scare it."
Fire Dragon: [What are you afraid of? I won't breathe fire at it. 】
Qin Chi: "You can easily scare others with your appearance."
The beauty and ugliness of the fire dragon are different from those of humans, and the evaluation of the body will only make it proud and proud: "This is called the mighty and majestic horse of the gods." 】
Qin Chi took the time to look at the communication bracelet, and after replying to the compliments of his three teammates, he said casually: "I get along well with Miss Xu now. If you scare her mental body, it may cause Miss Xu to alienate me. Even if she is still willing to team up with me, her spiritual body will never appear in front of me again, and you don't want to see Lotus again."
Fire Dragon: [Maybe it is not as timid as you think. 】
Qin Chi: "But if you show up, they will guess that I am a high-level superpower. I don't want them to expose the lies I told you before."
Various studies have shown that the more extraordinary the mental body is, the more powerful the superpower will be. The stronger.
Once a mythical creature like a dragon is exposed, even children will not believe that it is just a C-level superpower.
After his recuperation is over, he will return to his original base and continue to serve in various battlefields. Yu Xuqiao and others are just passers-by. Since they will never meet again in the future, his real strength has nothing to do with them, and presumably they will not be too Pay attention to his harmless lies.
Fire Dragon: [You don’t need to lie at all. 】
It is not some shameful spiritual body!
Qin Chi smiled and let Huolong take a breath while he concentrated on enjoying his dinner.
The fire dragon climbed to the entrance door and aimed its golden vertical pupils at the cat's eye on the door, trying to sense the existence of the lotus' spiritual body.
Low-level mental bodies cannot sense higher-level ones, but as long as Xu Qiao releases his mental body, the fire dragon can easily detect it from such a short distance.
101, Xu Qiao chatted with Lu Yang. As soon as it got dark outside the window, she went back to her room to rest.
Before going to bed, Xu Qiao released his spiritual body.
Four green lotus leaves stretched gently, and a thirty-three-petal white lotus with pink attached to Xu Qiao's face intimately.
Xu Qiao praised in a low voice: "It's great, our water power can also deal with C-level beasts."
When one person and one flower were communicating intimately, he suddenly felt the cool water and the faint fragrance of the fire dragon suddenly became restless, and the huge dragon The head tried to squeeze out of the cat's eye, and the two dragon claws in front scratched the door. The several-meter-long dragon tail sometimes rubbed against the ground and sometimes lifted up and slapped the floor.
Qin Chi took the fire dragon back into his body in time before it could cause damage to the room.
The fire dragon made a fuss.
Qin Chi: "...I will take you to buy lotus flowers tomorrow."
Qin Chi only has two classes in the morning on Monday.
There are several ways to recuperate. Qin Chi cannot accept living in seclusion in a quiet villa doing nothing all day long. He would rather come to the distant and unfamiliar southeast base to teach. This not only kills time, but also does not waste his rich experience in dealing with mutant creatures for so many years.
After class, Qin Chi went home first to have lunch, and then drove to the most famous flower shop in the Second Ring Road, "Baifangyuan".
In the new era, whether planting crops or cultivating flowers and plants, you will face the risk of plant mutation. Therefore, the official control of private planting is strict. For example, the two small courtyards that Xu Qiao is now responsible for must strictly register every plant she grows, and must Expensive plant mutation detectors were installed in the courtyard, and if an accident caused damage to lives or property of neighbors, Xu Qiao would have to pay compensation.
It's very troublesome, but as long as the wood-type superpowers take care of the plants regularly, they can ensure safety, so they will still plant what needs to be planted.
Fruits and vegetables are food ingredients, and when they grow too much, they can be sold for extra income. They are the first choice for most ordinary people with super powers.
Only those with special abilities who are not short of money at home or who really love flowers, and those with special abilities who specialize in the flower business, will cultivate flowers. Speaking of which, the Southeast Base has a population of more than 10 million. After meeting their basic material needs, there are always some people who also need the spiritual enjoyment brought by beautiful flowers, especially couples. The rich ones send flowers every day, and the poor ones Also try to reserve a bunch for special days.
The owner of "Baifang Garden" is wealthy and has built a garden dedicated to growing flowers in the second ring road where land is at a premium. Customers can buy flowers directly from the flower shop in front, or spend a certain amount of points to visit the garden in the back.
When Qin Chi walked into the flower shop wearing a well-tailored dark blue suit, a round-faced clerk immediately recognized this handsome customer who had just ordered flowers a few days ago.
"Mr. Qin, are you here to buy flowers again?" The round-faced clerk greeted him enthusiastically.
Qin Chi smiled and nodded. He glanced at several flower baskets and selected one with tulips, peonies, star flowers, chamomiles, hydrangeas and other flowers.
After paying the points, Qin Chi directly put the flower basket into the space.
The clerk in the flower shop often interacts with rich people, so it is common for him to see Qin Chi looking at the door leading to the back garden of the flower shop. The round-faced clerk smiled and asked, "Do you want to go to the garden?"
Qin Chi asked : "Are there any lotus flowers in the garden?"
The round-faced clerk said: "Yes, but there are only a few tanks. As you know, lotus flowers are not as easy to grow as other flowers, and customer demand for lotus flowers is not as high as other flower species."
Qin Chi: "If it's convenient, take me to have a look."
There were not many customers at this time. The round-faced clerk greeted a colleague and led Qin Chi in.
There are a total of eight tanks of lotus flowers, all of which are kept in an open space most convenient for basking in the sun. Only the lotus flowers in six tanks have grown green round leaves. Only two tanks have been stimulated by supernatural powers and have grown a few flower buds.
The round-faced clerk followed the rules and said: "Lotus is a flower that needs to be ordered in advance. You can take a look at the color of this lotus first. If you like it, I will help you bloom it now."
She opened the tablet she carried with her and quickly clicked a few Next, a high-definition video of a lotus popped up on the screen.
Just watching the video and unable to smell the fragrance of the flowers, Qin Chi said: "Open one first and take a look."
The round-faced clerk used his powers in cooperation, and one of the slim flower buds slowly bloomed in front of Qin Chi, pink and tender. The color is moist and translucent, clear and ethereal, and exudes a light fragrance.
Fire dragons have no special emotions.
Qin Chi directly asked the clerk to bloom one of the remaining seven pots of lotus flowers.
There were red, pink, white, and rare green lotus flowers. In the last vat, a tender yellow lotus flower with complicated petals bloomed.
The round-faced clerk explained: "This is a double-petaled lotus. It was common in the old era. Now it has become a treasure among lotuses. Our boss has been asking the association to find double-petaled lotus seeds every year. How about that? It's easy for someone to successfully make love once, and it's the one in front of you."
Qin Chi thought of Xu Qiao's lotus spirit body, which only released eleven petals. He had never seen it and couldn't ask how many petals there were.
According to Qin Chi's wishes, the round-faced clerk cut out eight lotuses of various colors, sprayed anti-mutation drugs on the sections, put them together and inserted them into a dark blue vase half a person's height, and also gave them a few lotus pieces. Leaves for decoration.
Qin Chi put it into the space as usual. After driving home, he put the flower basket and vase out. The former continued to be placed on the table, while the latter...
Before he could find a suitable place, the fire dragon emerged impatiently and explored The dragon head took a sip of each lotus, then opened its mouth and swallowed all the leaves into the dragon's mouth, then spat it out in disgust.
Fire Dragon: [Not as fragrant as it. ]
Qin Chi looked at the lotus petals crushed to pieces by the fire dragon and thought of the one he held in his hand yesterday.
Of course it is different. The lotus spirit body has consciousness and emotions. It will considerately help Xu Qiao fix his broken hair, and it will also resist him as a stranger and quickly disappear.
Xu Qiao should follow Xu Qiao on this point, Xu Qiao also maintained the right courtesy towards him.
She looks bright and kind, but is actually cautious and distant.
