Chapter 80: Strong
Dressed in loungewear, wearing an apron and insulated gloves, Mimosa took out the baking tray in the oven and arranged the six tarts in two rows.
The aroma and sweetness of eggs immediately poured into Qin Ran's nose.
When Mimosa placed the baking tray on a wooden shelf, Qin Ran couldn't wait to pick up one of them and put it in his mouth.
Different from ordinary people eating egg tarts, Qin Ran neither licked the middle nor took a bite from the edge, but directly swallowed the whole egg tart into his mouth, squeezed the whole egg tart with his tongue and palate, and then chewed and swallowed.
"How?"
Mimosa asked, expectantly.
"Well, as always."
Qin Ran replied.
Hearing Qin Ran's answer, Mimosa's eyes bent, and he walked to the side briskly, and took a green plant in a glass bottle, and put it on the table with the green plant in the bottle, which echoed with the white tablecloth just right, and set off the golden egg tart more and more, which made people be attracted at a glance.
"This is the table setting, and when I was learning to cook, the teacher taught me."
"She said that ten points of food, without ten points of matching, is an insult to food."
Mimosa explained.
Although they are aborigines, they still maintain respect for their teachers, which is almost the same as Qin Ran.
"Your teacher has a point."
"So, you're going to take that."
"Ten points of food, of course, need ten points of kitchen utensils, tableware - they may not have reached ten points, but they are not bad."
Qin Ran said as he pushed the package at his feet in front of the mimosa.
"This is for me?"
Mimosa looked at Qin Ran in surprise.
In fact, when Qin Ran came in with this baggage, Mimosa was very curious, but Mimosa, who knew Qin Ran's character well, didn't ask much.
Mimosa didn't expect that this would be given to him by Qin Ran.
With curiosity, Mimosa opened the package, looking at the complete set of Hill's knives, forks, plates, [five-flavor bottle], [small refining wine jug], [secret blending grease], [big war pot] and other kitchenware and tableware, the whole person's eyes were glowing, and after seeing [Duyer's recipe] and [Guan Shilu], the light in Mimosa's eyes almost turned into substance.
Want!
This is the truest thought of Mimosa's heart.
Still, before asking for it, Mimosa asked, "Is it okay?" ”
"Yes."
"Where do I need to put it?"
"They're not lightweight, I'll help you."
Qin Ran threw the last egg tart into his mouth and stood up from his seat.
"Kitchen!"
"There's a suitable place there."
Mimosa pushed open the kitchen door and pointed to the empty cabinet on the right and the opposite piece of the large pot where it could be placed.
According to the arrangement of the mimosa, Qin Ran put them away one by one, and when he turned around, he found that the mimosa was leaning against the door frame of the kitchen, concentrating on reading the two cookbooks, and the bright lights of the restaurant shone on the other party's body, bringing a soft luster.
Qin Ran didn't bother the mimosa, and stood in place with his shoulders crossed and waited quietly.
Because, when he reads, he doesn't like to be disturbed.
As for whether the mimosa can be understood?
When he sent out the two cookbooks, Qin Ran had already annotated them in the lingua franca, and there was absolutely no problem in reading them.
……
Bang!
'Wu' put the teacup heavily on the low table in front of him, and the spoon of the teacup jumped several times, making a tinkling sound.
"Go find the person who you off!"
"Don't get angry with my tea set."
Rachel said complainingly as she looked at her tea set distressedly.
You know, this is a tea set that she finally found, although it didn't cost many points, but it took a lot of thought.
If one is broken, the whole set of tea sets will become defective.
'Wu' didn't speak, just picked up the teapot, poured himself another cup of herbal tea, and poured it straight down.
However, this time, instead of putting the teacup on the table heavily, he handled it gently.
Then she poured herself tea, as if only tea could calm herself.
After four cups in a row, the water in the teapot was about to be drunk, and 'Wu' let out a long breath this time, and the whole person leaned back and leaned back on the sofa.
"Where am I not as good as her?"
'Wu' asked suddenly.
No name was named, but the tavern proprietress knew exactly who her friend was talking about.
Sitting in front of her friend, the tavern lady thought quietly for a moment.
"You don't have as much money as her?"
The tavern lady said with a little uncertainty.
"What's wrong with being rich?"
"Money is everything?"
"If you have money, you can do whatever you want?"
'Wu' sat up straight as if he had been electrocuted, and asked the tavern hostess.
"Is that you not as gentle as her?"
The tavern lady changed her words.
"Gentle?"
"Can gentleness be eaten?"
"Strong protection is the best attitude!"
'Wu' sneered.
The tavern lady didn't refute this, because she thought so too, so she showed her strength in front of lawlessness all the time.
"Then there's only one last thing left: cooking!"
"You don't have her cooking skills!"
The tavern proprietress raised her right index finger and said with great seriousness.
"Cooking?"
'Wu' was stunned.
"2567's love of food is there for all to see."
"If you have a great cook, you're going to impress him, and, most importantly, it's not hard to get that in a huge city."
The tavern lady gave her own advice.
"But crows never ask too much for food."
'Wu' frowned.
"A raven is a raven, and 2567 is 2567."
"They may be similar, but they're different."
The tavern lady emphasized.
"In my eyes, they are one."
'Wu' shook his head.
Faced with her friend's answer, the tavern lady sighed.
She really didn't know how to correct her friend.
Treat one person as another person, especially a person with a character like 2567, no matter how good you are to him, he will only be resistant and wary, and will not have the slightest good feeling.
"You—Can you help me find a [Cooking] skill book?"
There was silence for about a few seconds, and 'Wu' said suddenly.
"Of course."
The tavern's words made the tavern lady laugh, and she got up and walked straight towards the bar's vestibule.
As long as you are willing to change, then there is still a chance!
The tavern's pace, slightly relieved, became brisk, but when she pushed the door open and watched the lawlessness of stealing wine again, the irritable mood reappeared.
Syllable!
He picked up the wine bottle on the side and smashed it on Lawless's head, and the wine bottle immediately shattered.
"Bastard!"
"You're stealing wine again!"
"Or two bottles!"
The tavern lady roared.
"I only drank one bottle!"
Lawlessness argued.
"The smashed bottle, doesn't it count?"
"Now clean the bar for me, wipe the floor down the hall, and the sign outside the door, and I want to see that everything is spotless!"
The tavern lady kicked Lawless hard and yelled.
Lawless shrank his neck and acted immediately.
The people around him let out a low laugh.
At first, there were also dissuasions.
And now?
They're used to it.
It would be strange if such a scene was not staged every day.
The hustle and bustle of the antechamber entered the small hall from the door that never closed.
Listening to such a noise, 'Wu''s eyes showed a faint envy.
She envies the tavern's relationship with lawlessness, and thinks it's the best way to get along.
Pity......
She knew that if she dared to smash that guy with a wine bottle, that guy would definitely return her ten blows of flames directly.
"It's really incomprehensible."
With such an exclamation, 'Wu' got up and closed the door, and when she turned around and returned to the small hall again, Qin Ran had already sat down on the sofa opposite her for some time.
In this regard, 'Wu' was not surprised.
After all, the same was true of the crows at the beginning.
Moreover, this kind of behavior made 'Wu' feel familiar and habitual.
Immediately, 'Wu's heart, which was still a little melancholy, became happy.
Some things change, but the fundamental ones don't.
So, after 'Wu' sat down, he spoke directly.
"Can you show me your right hand?"
'Wu' asked.
Right hand?
Qin Ran was stunned, and subconsciously thought of that weird smiling face.
"Is that me?"
Qin Ran didn't take off his gloves, he just raised his right hand and pointed to the back of his hand with his left hand.
"Hmm."
"Can I take off my gloves?"
'Wu' nodded and said again.
After Qin Ran hesitated for a moment, he took off his gloves and revealed the strange smile that had become looming.
"Sure enough, it changed."
"In my previous divination, it has always existed in your shadow, always connected to your fate, but in my most recent divination, it has become looming."
"If you can, can you tell me what's going on?"
'Wu' asked.
Hiding the part that could not be said, Qin Ran told his story again.
Several times of cooperation made Qin Ran have basic trust in the woman in front of him.
Although, sometimes the other party is not very reliable.
"I see."
"Rebels?"
"The witch is really terrifying, even if she leaves the huge city, she still affects the followers at all times."
"And for the rebels......"
"She's ruthless."
'Wu' said with a deep breath.
Before entering the huge city, 'Wu' had already seen many terrible people by the crow's side, but even those people were still inferior to witches.
It's not just because of the magical powers in the huge city, it's just because of the witch herself.
Powerful people, strong everywhere.
All they need to do is give them a chance and they will be able to show their talent.
And the weak?
No matter how much resources and trust you give him, in the end, all you get is an excuse to deceive yourself.
"So you're in danger right now."
"Far more dangerous than ever."
"Because the remnants of her power are affecting me, so that I can't see clearly what will happen to you."
There was a deep powerlessness in Wu's voice.
"Thank you."
Qin Ran heard the powerlessness in the other party's words, and in politeness, Qin Ran thanked the other party.
As for the danger mentioned by the other party?
Qin Ran had already prepared.
The spirit has truly reached V., and after the continuous enhancement of his perception, he has sensed that the danger belonging to the 'witch' is constantly approaching.
Worried?
Somewhat.
Facing such an opponent, even if he has never met before, there are too many legends left by the other party, so many that Qin Ran has to deal with it wholeheartedly.
However, there is no fear.
Countless battles and countless dangers have already made Qin Ran understand that fear will not help him in any way, it is better to eat ice cream, calm down, and think about how to deal with it.
Qin Ran's calm appearance made 'Wu' feel happy.
The crow never panicked.
Qin Ran at this moment is really exactly the same as the crow in her memory.
But the difference is that she couldn't help the crow at the beginning, but now she can help Qin Ran.
"You have to be careful."
"The rest of ......"
"Leave it to me!"
With these words, 'Wu' got up and walked out.
Looking at the other party's back, Qin Ran frowned.
Although the contact time has not been long, Qin Ran knows the other party's character very well, and the other party will definitely not be joking if he says such a thing.
And in view of some of the things that the other party had done before, Qin Ran naturally said, "Wait, Wu." ”
"I need to prepare as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, you won't be able to catch up."
'Wu' heard it, but her footsteps never stopped, and even, for fear that Qin Ran would stop her, she also launched a teleportation prop, and just disappeared from Qin Ran's field of vision.
Suddenly, Qin Ran had a headache.
He doesn't want to owe favors to everyone, especially someone like 'Wu'.
Once you owe it, you really can't pay it back.
Qin Ran stood up without hesitation and walked towards the front hall.
"Free lemonade."
Qin Ran said to the tavern proprietress who was wiping her glass.
"Free, free."
"Can't you come to me and spend it?"
"I'm not willing to pay 1 point, are you Grande?"
The tavern proprietress said with resentment, but the movements of her hands were not slow, and a glass of lemonade with more honey and lemon slices was placed in front of Qin Ran.
"Any points should be spent on the cutting edge."
Qin Ran said this, and initiated a deal with the tavern proprietress.
Looking at the 100 magic props and 5 rare props that suddenly appeared in the trading bar, the tavern's eyes widened, and her breathing became short.
"Y-What are you going to do?"
"I don't sell my body!"
The tavern lady stammered.
"This is for 'Wu', she said that I am in unprecedented danger, so, what she wants to do, you should know, right?"
"Also, this is to compensate for the teleportation prop she just used."
As he spoke, Qin Ran put another legendary-level prop in the trading column.
[Name:Dexterous Dagger]
[Category:Strange Things]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Attack: Strong]
[Attribute: Displacement (1/2)]
[Special Effect: None]
[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]
[Notes: It was originally used by an Oriental eater to cut meat, but after another accident, it has incredible powers]
……
[Displacement: Move to the position where the field of view (no more than 100 meters) is located]
……
Looking at the [Dexterous Dagger] in the trading column, the tavern lady who understood the value of the dagger and the remaining items in the trading column was silent.
It was a full three or four seconds before the proprietress spoke again.
"I'm sorry, but I retract my previous assessment of you."
"You're not Grande."
"You've literally spent every point on the edge."
"'Wu' handed it over to me."
After saying that, the tavern proprietress immediately turned around and entered the small hall.
She definitely didn't want anything to happen to her friend.
And after the tavern proprietress left, Qin Ran's right hand holding the lemonade suddenly trembled, and ripples appeared in the cup layer upon layer.
Not only that, Qin Ran also felt that his chest was stuffy, his eyes were black, and the flesh on his body ached for a while.
"What's wrong?"
Lawless, who was mopping the floor, looked at his friend who was trembling all over, and immediately ran over.
"It's fine."
Qin Ran took a sip of lemonade and pursed his lips, his voice almost squeezing out from between his teeth.
And in his eyes, it is full of pain.
Call!
After taking a deep breath and adjusting his emotions, Qin Ran, who had regained his composure, thought for a moment, then clicked on the private message column and sent a private message to J. Perelman.
2567 : How's the investigation going?
2567 : Need help?
J. Perelman: Great, I'm a little anxious here, when are you coming?
2567: Right now.
