Chapter 151: Gathering Monsters

The living room is decorated in a simple style, with cool colors as the main color.

There is no marble or other materials, most of them are just painted on the walls.

The sofa is not a sofa worth tens of thousands of yuan or even more expensive, and the coffee table is made of glass instead of wood.

Qin Ze didn't expect that the chef's home was so ordinary.

After all, whether it is Qiao Wei, Jian Yiyi, Lan Yu, or even Luo Shu Lin An, they are actually wealthy.

It is not difficult for old calendar people to make money.

Even a girl like Xiao Shi, if she is determined to use the ability of streetwalkers to make money, she can make a lot.

So Qin Ze feels that Yu Ji's house is a bit too ordinary.

"Teacher Yu, with your cooking skills, there should be a lot of top restaurants vying for you, right?" Qin Ze asked.

Yu Ji's body is quite plump. At this time, he is wearing a chef's uniform and serving the last dish to entertain his friends.

As the second oldest person in the entire Linxiang City team, Yu Ji immediately heard the hidden meaning of Qin Ze's words:

"I don't like extravagance, and my wife and children are the same. We don't spend much on material things."

"We are most willing to spend money on things that can be eaten. Food is fresh, and there is no upper limit."

"The money is basically spent on buying ingredients, which is also another kind of material desire."

"Come, try it."

Yu Ji's food presentation was not too particular, because he needed some portions to entertain the old calendar people in the group.

He didn't like the French cooking method.

Qin Ze ate the most ordinary home-cooked dishes, and he felt full of happiness after taking a bite.

Chicken, duck, fish, lamb, and seasonal vegetables, the ingredients looked ordinary, but each one was a rare bird and mountain delicacy.

After Yu Ji's cooking, the color, aroma and taste were all perfect.

Qin Ze was a rough man.

Qin Ze was once invited by Qiao Wei to eat in some restaurants with a per capita four-digit price, but he really couldn't tell the difference.

There is a big gap between delicious and delicious, but for most people, this gap is difficult to detect.

Just like Qin Ze couldn't tell the difference between Wagyu and ordinary beef.

At least in his opinion, they were all the same when cooked.

But he could indeed feel that every dish of Yu Ji had a feeling of joy bursting out of his mouth.

This dish couldn't shine, but it made Qin Ze and Huo Qiao extremely happy.

"Hahahaha, old man, I felt that I was going to have good luck recently yesterday, but I didn't expect it to come true so soon."

In fact, every dish on the plate is worth savoring.

But Qin Ze and Huo Qiao ate it in big mouthfuls.

Yu Ji didn't feel that wild boars couldn't eat fine bran at all.

He felt that food should be like this.

"It's okay as long as it tastes good and you two like it."

"I like it so much. I've been asking you for recipes before and making them myself, but the ones I made were always a little bit off. Today I have to learn from you." Qin Ze said.

Yu Ji also had this intention.

Huo Qiao said:

"Xiao Qin, are you interested in studying numerology?"

"You can keep an eye on Yu Ji while cooking in the evening, but in the afternoon, why not learn metaphysics from me, the old man?"

When Qin Ze heard this, he was surprised that there was such a good thing. Isn't this a double happiness?

Although Huo Qiao can tell a fortune for people who violate taboos, if he can do it himself, Huo Qiao can concentrate more and calculate more accurate hexagrams to serve others.

After all, Huo Qiao's energy is limited.

Moreover, the promotion of Huo Qiao and Yu Ji's functions can only rely on accumulating skill proficiency.

But he is different. He is a taboo player.

Whether it is Yu Ji's cooking skills or Huo Qiao's metaphysics, he can surpass these two.

Today is unexpectedly smooth.

I just don't know if the ability of temporary workers can be effective under the hands-on teaching of two teachers.

Don't talk when eating and don't talk when sleeping. That depends on the occasion.

When friends have a meal together, of course you have to talk about topics.

Although everyone is of the same generation in terms of job level, Yu Ji and Huo Qiao are both elders in terms of age.

Qin Ze asked about the two people's story as a junior.

"Teacher Yu, how did you think of becoming a chef? Speaking of which, what is the taboo on the day when the old calendar appears?"

These topics may seem offensive to outsiders, but the members of the Linxiang City group are not at all taboo.

Yu Ji smiled and said:

"What else can it be? Cooking. I happened to participate in a food show where chefs compete with each other that day, and the taboo level is distorted."

Qin Ze became interested when he heard that it was distorted.

"All the food I cooked has mutated. When it is on the plate, it will tempt people to eat it, but it will bring strong hallucinations."

"It's really touching... The calendar appeared in my house, and I didn't know it."

"After that incident, my reputation was also ruined."

"Although the organization later sent people to treat those affected by the distorted ingredients. But many people still think that I tampered with the food. At that time, the official had not dealt with it cleanly. There were many jokes on the Internet. After eating my nine-turn large intestine, gourmets became crazy, as if they were possessed by Cthulhu."

"Netizens said that this is a food show on the surface, but it is actually a show."

"The evil god's large intestine joke appeared, but fortunately it was calmed down later."

Qin Ze thought of another chef who was related to the nine-turn large intestine, which can be said to be an open conspiracy.

Although it is conceivable that Yu Ji's reputation was completely ruined and his career suffered a huge blow.

But Qin Ze still felt a little funny.

Of course, Yu Ji himself was completely relieved.

When talking about these past events, Yu Ji had a smile on his face as if he was watching an absurd comedy:

"I love cooking, but I think those idiots don't understand food well enough and make too many unpalatable dishes."

"So I started cooking myself, and before I knew it, I became a contender for the chef king in their mouths."

At least in terms of cooking, Yu Ji's talent is probably rare.

Qin Ze found that there are quite a few geniuses in the group.

Yu Ji continued:

"After the Old Calendar appeared, I actually didn't notice it. If so many people on the show hadn't had hallucinations, and some people even had their bodies twisted after eating my food, crawling around on the ceiling like the dark and crawling evil ghosts in horror movies..."

"I might not have been noticed by the authorities."

"Of course, it was because I was noticed by the authorities that I learned about the Old Calendar."

"When they found me, my career as a chef was decided."

"It is said that there are many, many jobs for Old Calendar people, all 360 professions, but chefs are rare, so I became the chef of the organization."

Huo Qiao joked:

"Even so, you are like me, an old man, and basically don't participate in company affairs."

"Oh, when I get older, I just want to stay in my own little piece of land." Yu Ji responded.

Qin Ze said:

"But you two are helpful to everyone, how can you be considered not participating in the company's affairs?"

The one who answered the question was Yu Ji:

"Qin Ze, we are different from you. Lin An will go to the front line to save people. Luo Shu is sometimes like this. Although the little girl always stays in the company, she will also sign a contract and participate in the battle in a special way."

"As for you, Duke Xiaocheng, Lan Yu and the team leader, you are more combatants and will be exposed to all kinds of weird problems and events."

Yu Ji picked up a piece of chicken:

"But Lao Huoqiao and I are not. We just want to immerse ourselves in our own world."

"Our abilities can bring benefits to this world, and we are willing to contribute part of our abilities without interfering with our current lives."

"Cook something delicious for the team leader to double his physical strength, there is no problem. Just do it."

"But I don't want to get deeper into the weird world."

Lao Huoqiao raised his cup, which only had tea in it. None of the three drank alcohol, but he said happily:

"Cheers to this idea."

Yu Ji and Lao Huoqiao clinked their cups. Yu Ji said:

"We are not combatants, this is just one aspect. In fact, many professions have combat capabilities when they reach the level of ghosts and gods."

"Even a cook like me, if I reach the level of ghosts and gods, or if I am promoted to a gourmet... I am also very threatening. Huo Qiao is also, and fortune tellers can also be promoted to Yin-Yang masters. That is an incredible profession."

Qin Ze understood:

"But both of you don't want to get away from the life in front of you."

Huo Qiao nodded:

"Yes, I know that I am old, I believe in fate, and I am over that age."

"Xiao Yu just wants to live a life with his wife and children."

"There is nothing wrong with being ordinary, isn't it?"

Qin Ze also nodded, that's right.

"It's like, you go from a monthly income of 3,000 to a monthly income of 8,000. If you don't change your previous consumption habits, then you will feel that you are very rich. But if you change your consumption habits and increase your spending, you will find that... life is still so tight. And there will never be the joy of buying cheap, practical and good goods again."

This is what Yu Ji said.

Yu Ji's idea is that ability is like extra salary or income.

It's good to have superpowers, but if you use these superpowers to deal with people with superpowers, life will still be full of pressure.

But if you have superpowers but still live in the circle of ordinary people, it will be quite leisurely.

"We are cowards who don't want to make progress, hahahaha..."

Huo Qiao raised his glass again, and Yu Ji also clinked his glasses happily.

Qin Ze actually envied such an attitude.

Although they are cowards, these two people also contribute their own strength.

Not every old calendar person has to do his best to improve himself.

Not everyone needs to face up to the difficulties and devote all when facing evil.

Living a leisurely life, not doing evil, occasionally doing some small good deeds, enjoying the convenience brought by ability, and not squeezing the living space of ordinary people, this is not bad.

"How strong is strong? How rich is rich? There are people beyond people, and there are heavens beyond heavens." Old Huo Qiao sighed.

Yu Ji nodded:

"Yes, but Qin Ze, we are old-fashioned people who just want to lie down and live comfortably, but you must not learn from us."

Qin Ze laughed:

"Why?"

Yu Ji said:

"Because you are not such a person. If you are a lazy person like us, you can also be an idle cloud and wild crane. In the future, Lao Huoqiao and I can change the chess game for two people to a card game for three people."

"Hahahaha, that's great, playing cards is not bad either." Huoqiao also laughed.

But Yu Ji added:

"But you are not such a person. You are adventurous. I can see that you are a person who seeks excitement."

"Then don't go against your nature and improve yourself as much as possible, but if you are tired one day, you can also find me and Lao Huoqiao to recharge you."

"The team leader also comes to our place often. Every time he leaves, he feels physically and mentally refreshed."

Qin Ze understood what Yu Ji meant.

He is indeed a person who seeks excitement and mystery. Otherwise, he would not have met Qiao Wei.

In this world, there are people who are optimistic about their fate, there are also people who chase phantoms, and there are also people who defy nature and change their fate.

Qin Ze enjoyed this meal very happily.

Because Yuji’s food can indeed arouse people’s inner happiness.

And Lao Huoqiao is used to the fickleness of fate, and is also very good at comforting people.

As these two carefree people gathered together, time seemed to slow down.

Qin Ze had a rare feeling of peace and tranquility.

He could understand why the team leader felt happy every time he left here.

Indeed, after struggling for a while in the old calendar world, or the real world, finding two people like this to eat and chat will wash away some of the burdens on you.

Qin Ze spent the entire afternoon chatting with Huo Qiao, learning fortune-telling techniques while chatting.

Huo Qiao gave Qin Ze a hexagram disk he made himself and asked Qin Ze to go back and study it carefully.

In the evening, Yu Ji asked Qin Ze to watch how he cooked.

And told Qin Ze some things about the profession of chef in the old calendar.

Both of them were teaching Qin Ze intentionally.

This made Qin Ze wonder whether the team leader had revealed his identity as a temporary worker to the two of them.

Qin Ze has a feeling that tonight, April 30th, the old calendar will revive, and he may master two auxiliary skills.

…

…

The night of April 29th.

Qin Ze returned to his home. He indeed felt physically and mentally happy, and his fatigue was gone.

Yu Ji and Lao Huo Qiao made Qin Ze temporarily forget his recent experiences.

It seems that I have found the beauty of ordinary life.

But Qin Ze understood that all this was mainly based on Yu Ji's food.

Qin Ze is very eager to have that kind of food that can arouse people's emotions.

After Qin Ze returned to his home, he was waiting for the revival of the old calendar and the arrival of a new round of Yiji.

A leisurely and comfortable life makes people happy, but what he prefers is an unknown and challenging life.

It's only 11:50.

Qin Ze is "sick".

He felt intensely sleepy. Along with the sleepiness, there was also a weird feeling.

This feeling is not unfamiliar to Qin Ze. He experienced it twice.

Lin An also said at the beginning that this was a disease.

Qin Ze has not cured this disease.

As Qin Ze fell asleep, the familiar voice in his mind came.

"Everyone's life is like a movie..."

Prell's opening remarks appeared in Qin Ze's mind again.

As Qin Ze fell asleep, his dreams gradually became clearer.

In the classic dark cabin, he overlapped with Prell again.

For the third time, Qin Ze will watch Prell once again ravage some poor or hateful guy from the first-person perspective of the dream.

But this time, Qin Ze was not actually "ill" in the true sense.

Everything is not a coincidence, but stems from an article written by Zhao Jingwen after returning to his residence this afternoon.

According to Jian Yiyi's request, Zhao Jingwen wrote the most critical sentence:

"After Qin Ze's adventure in the Kingdom of Competition ends and he successfully returns to the real world, the hidden dangers related to Qin Ze in reality will gradually emerge. They, or they, are gradually heading to Linxiang City."

This is a paragraph in the article. When Jian Yi dictated this paragraph, Zhao Jingwen didn't quite understand it.

Thinking about it, isn't this about wanting Qin Ze to die?

But then, he understood what Jian Yiyi was going to do.
