Chapter 77.
Tang Yulijia, Ning Xuanqing and the other two were still a little confused when they were brought to the kitchen. After the cook was killed, her body had disappeared.
At this time, there were only Tang En and Tian Xun in the kitchen.
"What's the matter?" Tang Yu raised his head and looked at Tang En and Tian Xun. His eyes, which were originally sickly red, were now dark blue due to long periods of sleeplessness.
Tang En glanced at Tian Xun and told him the whole story, saying that Tian Xun wanted to clear the dungeon.
In order to protect Tian Xun's self-esteem, he skipped the shaving part.
"It's all my fault for not being careful enough. It found me. Luckily, Brother Tian Xun came to my rescue."
After saying this, Tang Yu and the other two were silent for a moment.
Ning Xuanqing thought for a moment and said to Tian Xun, "This dungeon has too many weird things. It's too dangerous to just push it. We can't consider it unless it's absolutely necessary."
There are two ways to clear the strange copy in the middle area. One is to complete the task according to the process, and the other is to push forward savagely and kill anyone you see.
Once all the monsters in the copy are killed, there is no need for this copy to continue to exist. Destroying the copy means that all participants have passed the level.
However, the conditions for successfully completing a dungeon are still very harsh. Unless there is no hidden boss in the dungeon, it is difficult to complete the dungeon.
For example, in this copy, not to mention the dozens of weird creatures in the castle, there are also the hundreds of residents in the small town, and the five terrifying figures they saw in the woods.
If you want to push forward smoothly, you need to kill all the monsters. Such a large base number is accompanied by a high probability of variables.
Compared to this way of passing the level, it seems more feasible to complete the dungeon mission honestly.
Tian Xun also thought of this when Ning Xuanqing reminded him. If he had not suffered too severe a strange erosion before, he would not have made such an irrational suggestion.
"But what should we do now? I killed the cook and the dinner is today." Tian Xun spread his hands and went straight to the core of the problem.
“If the dinner cannot be held normally, will it have any impact?”
Without the cook, the dinner party would definitely not be able to be organized properly.
A group of people squatted on the ground, holding their dizzy heads and thinking hard. Tang Yu raised his hand and said eagerly: "Well, me! I can be a cook!"
The four of them looked at her and suddenly realized what had happened.
That’s right! Didn’t you enter this dungeon to test Tang Yu’s skills?
"Oh, look at me. I'm so busy working that I forget everything!" Li Jia scratched his afro and smiled shyly.
Tang En said worriedly, "But, if Sister Tang Yu replaces the cook, won't it be discovered?"
......
When Conaway was invited to the kitchen by Tang En, he saw several people gathered in the kitchen and his face instantly became gloomy.
"Why are you still wasting time here? The banquet is about to start tonight, where is the cook?"
Ning Xuanqing took two steps forward, looked at Conaway's lifeless face, and said, "Mr. Conaway, there is something I must let you know."
"What?" Conaway frowned.
Ning Xuanqing curled his lips and smiled: "We want to change the cook."
She recounted the story of the fat cook's death, skipping over the details of how she died and emphasizing the consequences of her death.
Without a cook, the ingredients needed for the dinner could not be prepared, and the dinner could not start normally, and Mr. Edward's plan could not be implemented.
Li Jia smiled and said, "Mr. Conaway, you don't want your master to be disappointed, right?"
Conaway was about to become alienated, but after hearing these words, he gradually returned to normal.
Looking at its reaction, the five people knew that this bet was right.
Killing the cook was a big trouble, but it was also a bigger trouble for Conaway.
Rather than trouble the five of them now, it needed to solve the dinner party trouble immediately.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Conaway looked at the five people gloomily and resentfully.
Where can it find another cook now?
Li Jia pushed Tang Yu forward and introduced him, "This is the new cook we found for you. She will be in charge of the upcoming dinner!"
"You? Can you do it?" Conaway seemed extremely distrustful.
Li Jia smiled broadly at it and said, "Don't worry, no one will say that anything she makes is not delicious!"
She spoke the truth without any hesitation, and seeing how confident she was, Conaway agreed to it with some hesitation.
Its cloudy eyes stared at Tang Yu and warned him, "You'd better prepare a table of dishes that are suitable for a dinner party, otherwise I will not let you off easily!"
Tang Yu nodded repeatedly.
Finally, Conaway left, taking Tian Xun and others with him, as their jobs were not in the kitchen.
As a kitchen helper, Tang En naturally had to stay.
Tang Yu admired the entire kitchen layout with sparkling eyes, then held a spoon in one hand and a boning knife in the other.
Seeing her standing in front of the chopping block without moving for a long time, Tang En couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Sister Tang Yu?"
Tang Yu: "Tang En."
"ah?"
“Is there a recipe?”
Tang En: “???”
The dishes for the dinner were planned in advance. Although Tang Yu actively took on the task of preparing the dishes, she found that she seemed not to be able to cook Western food.
"Do they want to drink mutton soup? I'm very good at this." Tang Yu asked, scratching his head.
Tang En looked at her helplessly, and then he searched for the recipe for her with great difficulty.
As the only cook in the castle, the fat cook had a set of private recipes. Tang En peeled potatoes in the kitchen every day, so he naturally knew where she kept the recipes.
He gave the recipe to Tang Yu, and Tang Yu followed the recipe step by step.
As a good chef, you will never be able to make delicious dishes by simply copying others.
Therefore, Tang Yu added some of his own little understanding during the production process.
Tang En was helping on the side. He saw that Tang Yu seemed to be forcing himself, but in fact he was confidently making one horrifying dish after another.
It is known that her dishes are divided into two types. The first type is exquisite dishes with extremely poisonous effects, and the other type is extremely sanity-degrading mosaic dishes.
Because he wanted to experiment with the effect of the second type of dish after using the skill-enhancing item, Tang Yu only made mosaic dishes this time.
But this is... too mosaic!
Tang En really didn't understand. It was clearly the cook's recipe, and Tang Yu followed it, so why did he come up with such a bizarre thing?
The messy dishes placed on the table at this time produced a very shocking mental erosion effect.
Compared to before, when faced with this kind of food, Tang En could still barely control himself from eating it, but now he felt like he couldn't control himself anymore.
He stared at the strange dessert in front of him that was emitting a bright green light, and his hands stretched out uncontrollably.
"Pah!" Tang Yu slapped his hand away and covered the dessert with the silver plate.
"Those will be served at the banquet soon, so please don't ruin the look for me."
Tang Yu then added: "If you really want to eat it, I can make you a portion. Do you want to try it? It shouldn't kill you."
Tang En was sobered by her words. He shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no, I don't want to eat it."
In order to prevent himself from being unable to resist touching the food again, he even held the Scepter of Blessing in his hand.
The bright blue light surrounded him, forming a protective circle.
Miraculously, as the circle of protection unfolded, the mental fatigue he had been feeling for days dissipated a little.
So he simply expanded the protective circle a little bit to cover Tang Yu inside.
"Sister Tang Yu, I feel like your dishes have gotten even better." Tang En held the Scepter of Blessing and followed behind Tang Yu, helping her pass the ingredients.
Tang Yu was rarely modest for once: "Of course, I am constantly improving!"
Tang En chuckled and said, "I wonder what effect these dishes will have?"
Tang Yu also pondered this question for a while. Based on her past experience, she guessed, "Maybe you sleep longer after eating it?"
Tang En followed up by saying, "I hope that after they eat it, they can directly become friendly forces."
Tang Yu glanced at him and said, "How dare you think that? What's the difference between this and cheating?"
Tang En: Your skills are almost the same as cheating.
At this time, Conaway appeared at the kitchen door, his eyes fixed on the covered dishes.
"The party is about to begin. How is the dinner preparation going?"
Tang Yu took the long dinner menu and checked it one by one, then said, "Everything is ready."
Conaway nodded, walked to the table with his hands behind his back, and lifted a lid.
"Okay, you can go to the front hall first, I'll take care of this..."
The rest of the words stopped abruptly when its eyes fell on the dish. The dish that Conaway opened the lid on was beef stewed in red wine.
The finest aged red wine is paired with rich seasonings to make a sauce, and large chunks of beef are slowly stewed until they are soft and tasty, creating a delicacy with a unique flavor.
Conaway recognized the dish only because it was labeled on the side of the plate.
However, the contents of the plate were so different from its impression of beef stew in red wine that it became dazed for a moment when it saw the chunks of muscle floating in the sticky black soup.
This is......
Tang Yu was still waiting for Conaway to continue when he saw it put its hand directly into the bowl. It was so eager that it even ignored the knife and fork beside it.
As an old butler who always takes self-cultivation as a criterion, such actions cannot, at least should not...
Tang En watched as Conaway picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. The hot soup dripped onto his snow-white, smooth shirt. Then he tried to reach out to grab the second piece.
He couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Conaway, these dishes are going to be used for the dinner party. You can't eat any more."
Tang Yu pulled him aside and whispered, "Let it eat. There's plenty. We can observe the effects."
Tang En stopped trying to dissuade him, and the two of them stood quietly in the corner, watching Conaway eat up Tang Yu's version of red wine braised beef in an almost savage manner.
In the end, Conaway even picked up the plate and licked the soup clean, and only stopped when there was no more food in sight.
"What happened?" It was stunned for a moment and looked around, and couldn't remember what it had just done.
Tang En approached suspiciously and asked, "Don't you want to sleep?"
It was strange. No matter whether the food was strange or human, people would fall asleep immediately after eating it. But now Conaway did not have such a reaction.
Hearing Tang En's question, Conaway shook his head subconsciously.
Tang En continued to ask: "Are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"
Like dizziness or something?
Conaway shook his head again.
