Chef God System 385 seemed to be waiting for Lu Chi to ask questions. Hearing this, he immediately said: [Hey? I thought it would take a few days for you to find out about this, but I didn't expect the host to find out the problem after just one meal.]
[There is no systematic seasoning and cooking in the entire demon world, so you who hold the golden finger of this system will be able to conquer all the demons with your cooking skills and achieve a great career! ]
[As for the issue of start-up funds, the host doesn't need to worry too much! I can provide loan services here, just pay a little interest! ]
Aren't the protagonists with the golden finger of the system in the novel all arrogant and tyrannical, dominating everyone by force? How come he has to work diligently to become a qualified cook and conquer all the demons with his cooking skills?
Lu Chi was not at all excited by 385's chicken soup, and just replied lightly: [Oh, how much interest is that?]
[If you have 100 gold coins, the interest is 3 gold coins per day.]
Lu Chi wanted to say something about the importance of the country, [...Aren't you going to be sued for such a black loan-sharking in your system? ]
[The complaint system needs my help to open every time it is used. ]
Lu Chi: [...]
Damn, I get it.
385: [Does the host want a loan now?]
Lu Chi suspects that 385 is holding revenge because he just said "you are too happy" to it, so he takes revenge, but he doesn't want to make the relationship dead, [Don't need it, for now, wait until I get better.]
Although he knows that there are no seasonings in the devil world, Lu Chi does not hesitate to be blindly optimistic about his future. His cooking skills are very average, and he rarely uses them. That is to say, he can cook a few simple home-cooked dishes, which are guaranteed to be edible and delicious. To the extent that it is horrible if you want to say how high the culinary talent is, it is not there. Compared with the demons in Lihe Village, it must be much better, but what about outside Lihe Village? Are those high-level demons so indifferent to imported food?
Lu Chi held a doubtful attitude, but his current physical condition was not very good, and the special healing medicine seemed to have a little sleep ingredient. After thinking about it, he fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, most of Lu Chi's injuries had recovered. Although he still couldn't wield much force on his left leg, he could feel that his ribs and leg bones were growing quickly. It seemed that the special healing medicine produced by the system was really helpful.
After eating an unspeakable breakfast, Lu Chi found a fairly straight stick as a crutch. He planned to go around Lihe Village today to get acquainted with the surrounding environment as soon as possible, although he was temporarily living in Li Ahua's home, after all, he is not a relative, and it is still necessary to find a way to become self-reliant as soon as possible.
Another point is that Lu Chi also wants to see if there are any edible ingredients nearby. Today's breakfast Li Ahua's family is still eating meat. I don't know if it is the nature of the demons. They seem to love meat very much. They have neither staple food nor any vegetable, making Lu Chi feel weird to it.
Lihe Village is neither big nor small. There are about 80 households in total. The demons here basically live by hunting. There is a piece of arable land in the southeast of the village, but the crops are not for the villagers to eat, but for them to keep in captivity.
There is a mountain in the west of the village. A mountain spring flowing down from the mountain becomes a small river that divides the village into two and is the main source of living water for the village.
To the northeast of the village is a small road leading to the town. The demons of Lihe Village, except for the ox cart in the village chief's house, basically rely on their legs and feet for transportation. It takes about two hours to walk to the nearest town.
To the south of the village is a large jungle, which is also the main place where the demons in the village usually hunt. To the north is a wasteland with some weeds and trees, and a small land has been carved out as a cemetery in the village.
Lu Chi walks very slowly with a cane, and from time to time he is approached by eager villagers. As a unicorn demon, his appearance is really unique. For Lihe Village, which has few foreign demons throughout the year, it simply exists like a star.
It took all morning for Lu Chi, who was stunned with laughter because of too much social interaction, to walk to the cemetery in the north of the village. There are a few demons there. Lu Chi decided to take a rest in this place without demons for the time being, and wait for the rest in the afternoon.
Lihe Village does not have the habit of eating lunch. They only have two meals a day, morning and evening. Demons who go out hunting will bring some dried meat. Long-tailed demons who do not hunt are hungry at noon.
But he hadn't eaten much last night and this morning, and he's been feeling nauseous all the time. He's already been hungry and thirsty.
Lu Chi found a flat stone and sat down, glanced around, and was attracted by the bright red fruits scattered in a bush not far away, Lu Chi's first reaction was: raspberries?
When Lu Chi approached, he realized that each of the red fruits was the size of an egg, which was bigger than a raspberry. He picked one and looked at it in his hand, and found that it looked a bit like a raspberry and a bit like a strawberry. Correct answer:
[Red Bean and Berry
Delicious grade: three stars (average taste)
Vitality content: weak
Special effect: treatment of kidney deficiency]
Lu Chi: !!!
Special effects are not necessary.
However, there are three stars.
The red bean and berries look clean. Thinking of eating melons and picking fruits in the countryside when he was a child, he ate them without washing them.
The red bean and berries are stuffed into the mouth, the taste is a little sweet and sour, with a fruity fragrance, and the juice is rich, which is a rare delicacy for Lu Chi.
After eating a few red beans and berries, Lu Chi felt refreshed, and even felt much less tired. While eating, he suddenly paused as if he had remembered something. He had already blown out the system panel in his mind. He tried to click on the first item in the daily task: [Enter a new ingredient], and then a dialog box popped up immediately:
[Detected red bean and berries, do you want to add them to the cookbook?]
[Yes/No]
Lu Chi selects [Yes].
[The first daily task has been completed, reward 10 points].
Lu Chi was instantly happy, it seemed that the daily tasks were not too difficult.
Lu Chi looked at the second and third daily tasks in his mind, but his eyes turned to the red bean berry in his hand. After thinking for a while, he said to 385: [Please lend me 100 gold coins.]
385 got excited when he heard it as if he was rubbing his invisible hands and said: [Is it just 100 gold coins? Will it be too little? It doesn't matter if you can borrow more, as you can see, the daily tasks are easy, and there is no need to worry about interests...]
Lu Chi rejected the black-hearted lender who seemed to persuade gamblers to borrow and said calmly: [No, 100 is enough. ]
[Okay...] 385 was reluctant, but he still let Lu Chi borrow it.
[Crash——] A moment, Lu Chi heard the sound of gold coins arriving in his account. He didn't have any spare time and started picking the red bean berries, but these red bean berries were as delicate as strawberries, and they were not easy to store. If they were in his pocket, he would squash all of them. Finally, Lu Chi searched around the neighborhood and finally found a relatively large leaf. He used grass stems to string the leaves into small pockets.
385 is still bewitching Lu Chi, [How troublesome you are, if you have a super refrigerator or a system backpack, you can put as many red bean berries as you want! And these are your fixed possession. Once you buy them, you can use them all the time. It happens that the super refrigerator and system backpack are all on special prices. Anyway, you have to buy them sooner or later.]
Lu Chi: […] Unmoved at all.
If it weren't for the lack of the most basic seasoning, he wouldn't even want to borrow the 100 points.
Now that he had a plan, Lu Chi gave up his plan to continue exploring the new map. He was about to go back with a few pockets of red bean berries, but before he took a few steps, he heard a dull knocking sound of "tuktuktuk". Listening to the source of the sound, it seems to be coming from the direction of the cemetery.
Lu Chi: ! ! !
To be honest, Lu Chi was not afraid of "ghosts" at all. First, he didn't believe in the existence of "ghosts". Second, he was very confident. He felt that even if there were ghosts in this world, he would not get close to them.
But now, Lu Chi is a person who has died. He witnessed his funeral and was reborn in the demon world. The original firm worldview has long been cracked. Now he is in a world where the height of the demon is higher than Yao Ming. There was also a serious shake, and the manliness was probably not so manly anymore, so at this moment he was a little guilty.
(T/N: Yao Ming: Chinese basketball player
Height: 2.29 m)
Question: After a person dies, he becomes a ghost, and what happens after a demon dies?
Devil?
If this is the case, considering Lu Chi's current state of lameness, he is afraid that he will not be able to escape.
Lu Chi cat hid behind the bushes and observed it secretly for a while. It was the best time for the sun in the afternoon, but he felt that the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped a little.
Not far from the cemetery, there was a demon holding what looked like a baseball bat, and he was beating down on something for some unknown reason. That "tuk-tuk-tuk" sound was made by him.
Lu Chi, who was thinking of "prosperity, strength, democracy, civilization, and harmony..." in his heart, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the demon. Although most of the demons in Lihe couldn't match his looks, mainly because he didn't dare to look closely at their appearance, he happened to know this demon, the third Huang who lives not far from Li Ahua's house. Last night, Li Ahua and their after-dinner entertainment gossip topic were him beside Lu Chi.
The reason why Lu Chi can recognize Huang Laosan is that he looks recognizable, the long-tailed devil Huang Laosan's tail is cut and only half of it is left.
From Li Ahua and the others, Lu Chi learned that Huang Laosan was also a romantic male demon when he was young. Because of his good looks, he was not honest when he got married. He hooked up with wild female demons outside and was finally discovered by his wife, who not only cut his tail, but was also kicked out of the house, and even his children refused to recognize him.
Now Huang Laosan lives alone as a demon and cannot always hunt. He can only live by hooking up with other female demons in exchange for some food. Although it is quite pitiful, it is also a classic discussion among the Lihe Village people who eat melon and demons after dinner, it is a negative teaching material used by the elders to educate the younger generation about long-tailed demons.
