Chapter 32 Batch Tasks
cooking.
In the setting of Genshin Impact, the protagonist can cook by himself, but he met an adventurer NPC outside Mondstadt, who taught him the cooking skills and he tasted the delicious wild mushroom chicken skewers made by him.
But for players, this is the beginning of cooking skills.
Only by using skills enabled by the game system can you avoid those cumbersome processes.
Cooking is simplified to having the recipe ingredients, putting the ingredients into a pot, and selecting the bright yellow area when reading the cooking instructions, and you can have a variety of delicious steamed, stir-fried, boiled, stewed, and deep-fried dishes.
Riko Tanida's teachings are very spiritual.
Those who knew about the player's miraculous cooking skills but could not understand this miraculous way of repaying a favor watched silently.
I saw Toshika Tanida set up a pot, poured cold water into it, turned on high heat to boil the water.
“Cooking starts with a fire and a pot of boiling water,” she said in all seriousness.
The player suddenly realized: "Yes! I didn't let you win before!"
Azusa Enomoto whispered: "...Mr. Amuro, I think this has nothing to do with whether or not to release the water."
How could anyone make a dish that is completely unprocessed, without any cooking techniques, and even not cooked!
Does Hisashi Jyouno usually chase after ingredients to eat?
Amuro: "I have always been curious about Jyouno Kazuchi's cooking."
It would be better to say that without adding water, the ingredients were just dry-cooked, but after adding water, you can imagine how terrible it was.
But Toru Amuro strangely feels that this should not be the case. Although Jyouno Hisaji really looks like an escaped patient from a mental hospital, it cannot be denied that he is also a very bizarre all-rounder.
Yada Rika: "Next, you try it. There should be food in the box. Just put it in the water and cook it."
The player explored the box that suddenly appeared with flashing light and successfully obtained a mushroom and a poultry.
He stood in front of the stove, clicked on the cooking option that finally appeared, and when he entered the familiar process of selecting recipes, manual cooking, and cooking readings, he was almost moved to tears.
It's been so long!
This is a skill that should have been given at the beginning, but he only came here after he finished working on the world map!
The player made five servings of delicious fried eggs and wild mushroom chicken skewers in one go. These were the only two recipes he had obtained so far. After turning on the automatic cooking of the recipe, he made 100 servings of each.
During this time, he was grinding the map. In addition to picking a lot of sweet flowers that shouldn't exist in this world view but still exist, he also collected a lot of mints that were so strong that they could grow on Sky Island.
But the majority of ingredients can’t be collected while running around, but can be purchased at grocery stores.
There are four grocery stores in the entire map, all near the teleport anchor points.
The ingredients inside are basically the same, basically milk, onions, cabbage, pepper, salt and the like. There is a purchase limit of 100 of each item, and the purchase limit is refreshed at 4 o'clock in the game time.
Every time the player accepts a mission from Toru Amuro, and the grocery store happens to be refreshed, he goes to buy things one by one. Now his backpack is already full of food.
Although the player's gaming skills did not require so many dishes, just like the ones he bought at the Polo Cafe before, he had not used any of them during these days.
After all, with his current panel, he can basically kill all the monsters with one set of skills without getting hurt at all.
By the way, although Tokyo is the only city in the world of science map with the most tasks, experience copies, weekly and daily tasks are all here, making the maps of other counties and cities, which are just treasure chests, look like a pile of small garbage.
But other maps also have an advantage that the Tokyo city map does not have. There are so many monsters there!
It seems that many monsters were evacuated from Tokyo. Players often suddenly find them when they are running around the map looking for treasure chests, and then they kill them.
Although humanoid monsters will no longer be refreshed at the original location, the overall number of monsters is far more than that in Tokyo, and there are monsters in some deep mountains and forests.
Thanks to the large amount of materials dropped by these monsters, the large amount of resources obtained from opening treasure chests, and the ores obtained from using physical strength to clear dungeons, the player not only upgraded the character level to level 90, but also upgraded all three skill levels to level 8, and also maxed out the sniper rifle.
The player character is now almost complete.
So why does he need cooking skills so much?
Of course he can choose not to use it, but we can’t deny him the game!
Time is stopped when the player is cooking food.
Everyone saw Jyouno Hisaji throwing two ingredients into the pot, and the next second a string of shiny wild mushroom and chicken skewers that looked colorful, fragrant and delicious appeared in his hand.
The fresh and tender ingredients exuded the charming aroma unique to grilled skewers, which made everyone drop their jaws.
Yuan Tai's mouth was watering: "It smells so good..."
Conan dragged a stool over and stepped on it, looking at the pot with doubt, which was now filled with only pure boiling water. "Huh?"
Amuro Toru, who is good at cooking: "..."
No matter how hard I try, I just can't understand it!
Was the cooking process edited out?
It’s not that boiled food can’t be made into grilled skewers, but putting the ingredients directly into the pot without any processing and turning them into finished products in seconds is simply rubbing his cooking experience into the ground!
Yada Rika took the skewer, took a bite, and couldn't help but finish it in a few bites. She praised sincerely: "It's really delicious! It seems that you not only learned how to cook, but you are also very talented. Please accept this recipe book!"
Player: "Okay!"
After receiving the recipe, a series of prompts popped up on the game interface.
【Cooking function on】
[Gift from Toshika Yada: a recipe book]
【A Cookbook】
[In order to repay the detective for fulfilling Grandma Youjiang's wish to find her son before her death, Rika Tanida has carefully collected and tested recipes over the years. However, since most recipes in the catering industry are kept secret, they are basically common dishes.]
[Contains grilled steak, radish and vegetable soup, sweet shrimp sushi, sweet flower-stir-fried chicken, cold meat platter, satisfying salad, etc.]
"I'm glad you like this gift. It's getting late and I have to catch the train. Goodbye, Detective Tiaoye."
After Toshika Yada left, the players started to get busy in front of the stove.
He wants to make all the recipes fully cooked—that is, to make enough perfect portions of each item—to move from manual cooking to automatic cooking.
Except for some ingredients that were insufficient to be collected, and some that needed to be processed from raw materials (such as wheat into flour), all other ingredients that could be made were made by the players, and they made a lot in one go.
He took out a few and put them aside. When he was done, he saw that the resident NPCs of the Polo Cafe had almost filled up the kitchen, staring at him with their sparkling eyes.
Player: “?”
Player: "Do you want to eat?"
Amuro Toru: "I am indeed curious about your cooking skills."
Azusa Enomoto: “Is there such a big difference between learning how to cook and not learning how to cook?!”
Conan Edogawa: "Obviously, you didn't teach me anything except how to boil a pot of water! This is unreasonable, not right, this is reasonable, not right, this is unreasonable..."
Yoshida Ayumi: "Detective Jouno, we can buy it with our pocket money."
Kojima Genta almost smiled: "It looks delicious!"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya: "Although I'm not hungry, it does look delicious and smells good."
Player: "But I don't think you guys really want to eat."
There were so many NPCs present, but not a single one had an exclamation mark on their head.
This makes it hard for players to trust them!
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue exclamation mark appeared on Kojima Genta's head.
【The Desire of the Young Detectives】
[They want to taste the dishes you make and are willing to spend their limited pocket money on them. Of course, Conan has the most pocket money. Please provide dishes that suit their tastes (0/4)]
【Mission Reward: Japanese Yen*10000】
A blue exclamation mark also appeared on Azusa Enomoto's head.
【Azusa Enomoto's Curiosity】
[Having seen your past performance, Azusa Enomoto is incredulous and curious about your rapid improvement in cooking skills. Please provide her with a dish she would like to try (0/4)]
[Mission Reward: Japanese Yen*20,000]
Finally, a blue exclamation mark appeared on Toru Amuro's head.
【Additional Request】
[You have aroused the competitive spirit of Amuro Toru, who is quite confident in his own field, and received an extra daily commission from him that was issued very occasionally. Please provide a dish of perfect quality (0/5)]
[Mission Reward: Sands of Time*10, Japanese Yen*50,000, Intermediate Experience Book*3]
The players didn't expect that they could actually find out the mission.
Although except for the generous Catherine, other mission rewards are just a drop in the bucket for him, why not do the mission if there is one?
He immediately submitted the dishes according to the mission requirements and received all the mission rewards. As for the conversation between Amuro Toru and the others while tasting the food, it was no longer within the player's scope of attention.
Just as the player was about to leave, a new customer came to the Polo Cafe and was immediately tempted by the rich aroma of food inside and wanted to order these dishes immediately.
When he learned that the dish was made by Hisashi Jyouno and was not sold to the public, he had a fruitless conversation with Hisashi Jyouno and saw the black-haired young man was about to leave.
As the guest got anxious, a blue exclamation mark suddenly popped up in his head.
Player: “Hmm?”
Is this a quest that can only be obtained from the Poirot Cafe?
He simply didn't leave. Whenever a customer came, he would follow the process of first refusing the other party's request to eat, then the other party would exclaim over his head, and the transaction was completed.
Some people didn't make an exclamation mark after being rejected, but it came out while they were still in the store.
It's amazing.
It's the same as the bug of batch tasks.
Hisashi Jouno is very popular and can be said to be the most sought-after detective at the moment. If everyone didn't know that they could only meet him occasionally at the Poirot Cafe and couldn't talk to him, this place would have been surrounded by fans and reporters.
Now he actually stayed in the cafe for such a long time, was able to talk to people normally, and was selling his own amazing homemade dishes!
As the news spread, countless people rushed to the Polo Cafe, and soon the place was blocked. As a result, the only passage left in the back of the store was for people to queue in and out, and the customers all took their food away.
With the addition of packaging, the task has an additional process.
Toru Amuro and Azusa Enomoto, who were in charge of packing: "..."
Wait, why are they responsible for packing?
The Café Poirot has been completely occupied by Hisashi Jouno!
When Inspector Megure arrived, he saw a long queue stretching across the entire street. People were queuing in an orderly manner on the sidewalk, not affecting the normal passage of others, but it looked very spectacular.
The aroma continued to waft from the customers who were leaving with their take-out bags. When Inspector Megure and his team cut in line and squeezed into the store amid everyone's accusing looks, they were faced with Toru Amuro and Azusa Enomoto, who were so busy that they were almost having multiple clones.
As he was packing, Toru Amuro looked at the list that Enomoto Azusa handed over, "Please wait a moment. One serving of omelette rice and one serving of sweet shrimp sushi, right?"
Compared to Azusa Enomoto and Toru Amuro, Hisashi Jyouno, who was sitting in the middle, looked like a large black obstacle. He just took out a bowl of omelette rice and handed it to Toru Amuro, but there was no sweet shrimp sushi.
Amuro Toru understood immediately and said to the customer, "The sweet shrimp sushi is sold out. You can replace it with other dishes on the menu."
The guests readily changed to grilled steaks.
When Inspector Megure came forward, the first thing Enomoto Azusa said was, "Please don't cut in line, customer," and only then did she recognize him.
Officer Megure almost wanted to pay for one, but luckily he remembered why he came. He took out his police ID and, seeing that there were many people around, whispered to Jyouno Hisaji:
"There is a case that requires Mr. Tiaoye's cooperation with the police investigation."
Players who have been manipulated by NPCs in various ways have fallen in love with the feeling of doing tasks without doing anything. They have become automatic task-finishing machines, and the conditional reflexes continue with the dialogue options: "What case?"
Inspector Megure's eyes were sharp and he didn't miss any change in Jyouno Hisaji's expression.
"Do you know Kyuki Yuichiro?"
