As more and more players and NPCs got involved, the situation on site became somewhat out of control.
The young master chef finally arrived at Qi Xu's side, his cry of "Boss!" revealing his grievances. Now that his support had arrived, he no longer needed to pretend to be strong...
Qi Xu was about to offer some words of comfort when he heard Little Chef say, "I can't cook anymore. I sold my cooking skills... Waaah, otherwise I wouldn't have made it to your place."
No wonder those three dishes tasted so strange.
"It's alright, it's good that you still remember us. You can practice slowly when you get out. With your talent, it'll be a piece of cake. Is there a special reason why you had to reveal the true nature of the dungeon in public? Besides, didn't you not sign up for this dungeon?"
Qi Xu's calm and unhurried tone instantly put the young master at ease.
"Yes, I clearly didn't sign up for this instance, but I was still teleported here. I shouted 'report' dozens of times and got compensation, but I still have to complete the tasks according to the instance requirements before I can leave."
The crucial point is that on the very first day, I... got scammed and tricked into working at the central kitchen in Hungry Town. After realizing something was wrong with this instance, I tried to talk to the players individually, but it was no use; it seemed like their memories were being stolen.
My daily wage was enough for me to live on, but I accidentally broke the kitchen cabinet. I was forced into a corner and couldn't afford to pay for it, so I was threatened with arrest and had no choice but to sell "stories".
The people at the Story Pawnshop kept trying to trick me into selling all my memories after the Survival Highway incident, saying that it wouldn't be enough to cover the losses. I didn't want to sell them, so I ended up selling most of the stories related to cooking.
It's mostly about doing various small things in the kitchen.
As for this competition, I broke another entire cabinet, so I had to participate. I even signed a betting agreement; if I don't win, I'll have to sell the stories. I was really forced into this situation...
"Oh, right! All the players' story fragments will be transported to Mayor Pighead's office. I tried to sneak in and steal back my cooking skills the other day, but I was discovered and sent back..."
The young master of Chinese cooking was talking with tears in his eyes, and Qi Xu pursed his lips several times, really taking advantage of an honest person!
Qi Xu couldn't believe that the young master chef could overturn the cabinet, let alone overturn it twice...
"The Story Pawnshop wants your 'memories after the road to survival,' but you refuse to sell them. So they can only slowly chip away at your cooking-related stories until they're all gone. Whether you sell what's left is out of your hands."
Take this "Master Chef Competition" for example. If I weren't here today, Master Chef would definitely not have won first place.
Having roughly grasped the situation, Qi Xu had a general idea of what had happened, but just then, a rich aroma wafted over...
"To celebrate the successful holding of our Culinary Master Competition, all players can come and receive a free roasted sweet potato! First come, first served, while supplies last!"
The story of "MasterChef" has just revealed the hidden details of the Hungry Town instance, and now someone is suddenly offering free roasted sweet potatoes. Anyone with a brain knows something's wrong.
One second the players were about to unleash a torrent of curses, the next second...
Some players were already somewhat delirious, following the aroma to join the queue. Their minds were a mess. All of these players had sold too many "stories" and eaten too much food from the Hungry Town instance. In addition, if they stayed in the wrong hotel, parts of their memories would be stolen every night.
The person's insides have almost become an empty shell...
For these players, they have absolutely no resistance to this special delicacy.
