Fujinaga's illness seemed to be cured at once, and he behaved calmly and steadily, like the real head of the Fujinaga family, directing the maids to prepare twenty dishes and fill the table.

All of them are Ruiji's favorite dishes, except for one.

"So much...... Won't it be a waste? ”

Riki hadn't shaken off the shock yet. She was almost about to run, but after seeing that the half-step back movement made Miss Fujinaga's face very gloomy, she immediately dispelled the idea of escaping.

When the behavior of a deserter is very hurtful, even if he apologizes for his behavior afterwards, the scars left behind cannot be completely healed, and he spends a long time with each other, and every time they meet, they think of unpleasant experiences, which leads to embarrassment.

The relationship between his sister and Fujinaga is very good, and it is indispensable to see each other often in the future, so he should take the overall situation into account.

By the way, the rice of a white prostitute is better than the money bought.

"Not much. The number of dishes for banquets held at home is more than ten times that of here, and the dishes that cannot be eaten will be handled by a special person, so there is no need to bother, although they are allowed to eat. ”

The witch on the other side of the table had a cold voice, no ups and downs, and her attitude was particularly distant as if she were treating strangers, and she deliberately held a grudge. She didn't show it on her face, and quietly vented the anger in her heart.

Ratchet deserves it, after all, she has rejected the boldest offer ever made by the eldest lady. Otherwise, the two of them shouldn't be at the dinner table now, they would have been cannon a long time ago, exploding equipment while discussing knowledge.

Although I regret a little, I didn't get through that mysterious door of pleasure, and stepping in too early can often have irreparable consequences.

She slipped a large piece of crispy cod steak and dipped it in a little black pepper sauce and stuffed it into her mouth to let the food wash away the depression. Food is the best way to heal a wounded mind and stabilize emotions.

Both sweet and salty foods produce dopamine, and they both need a little dopamine to suppress negative feelings.

"Is tonight's dish to taste?"

"Hmm...... It's delicious. ”

Not daring to look at Fujinaga's face, Ruiji kept lowering his head to add food to the plate, his cheeks bulging, and he swallowed the food without even tasting the taste carefully, and stuffed a new batch in.

During the meal, there is no topic to talk about, the more you eat, the more embarrassing it becomes, the food tastes the same as chewing wax, and a large number of high-end ingredients are blind. Fujinaga can't see the mood, she always shows people with a poker face, and continues to play the image of her perfect eldest lady.

I ate a meal like sitting on pins and needles, and I regretted staying a little. Although it was not a banquet of the nature of the Hongmen Banquet, it was quite uncomfortable to eat without a third person.

Everything I did tonight was for the happiness of the eldest lady, so I had to sacrifice my own happiness in exchange.

Two-thirds full, Fujinaga put down his fork.

"There is a little trick in the Olympic Alchemy Contest that does not violate the rules, does not cheat, and can take shortcuts, I don't know if you are interested?"

"Please...... Excuse me, I'm interested. ”

Ruiji immediately put down the utensils and sat upright, like a student who had been admonished by his instructor. Fujinaga poured himself a cup of black tea and added a few drops of antidepressant potion to his hand.

"I heard those tips from my two sisters. Several of the eldest sister's wives participated in the alchemy competition in previous years, and the rules of the competition were almost fixed, and even if there were, there were not many, just small changes. ”

Fujinaga used his staff to write in the air, listing the main points, and golden English words floated on the dining table, floating to Ruiji's side and circling around her.

- Helper, Transaction, and Skill.

There are three major elements, helper, trading and skill.

"The Alchemy Contest official does not restrict the contestants from looking for helpers around the competition venue, and each team has the same amount of initial materials, tools and funds, and under the same conditions, witches who can hire other people are obviously more capable."

"The trade means giving a sum of money to the witches near the competition venue to help them run errands?"

Unable to continue eating, Ruiji hurriedly used a memo to jot down several points that Fujinaga had said. The quill has a shorthand function, she doesn't have to use her hands, she just needs to listen and give instructions.

"It's understandable. The funds provided by the organizers are very limited, and the contestants have to use it to buy the rest of the materials and tools, accommodation, and food. It is not allowed to bring additional property into the competition venue, there will be a special person to supervise and inspect, and the finder will be disqualified from the competition. ”

"Thank you...... I don't know the rules yet, so please tell me more. ”

When it comes to the Alchemy Competition, Ruiji is not sleepy. Entering the atmosphere of discussing serious content, Fujinaga also became more normal, and did not continue to use the killer feature of the equipment dropped on his body.

Chatting and undressing, which normal witch can stand it?

Fujinaga continued to use his staff to write on the board.

"Now analyze the second point, trading. The organizers of the Alchemy Contest will designate an area as the venue for participation, but will not let the witches in the venue leave. They are like NPCs in the game scene, and the contestants can be compared to players. Talk to NPCs a few times and they will be able to help the player.

That's where money comes in handy. It doesn't matter if the contestants spend money to bribe and hire the witches in the venue, or to have an in-depth exchange with them about the secret knowledge of the birth and continuation of the witch clan's life, there is nothing in the rules that do not allow it. The art of seduction is your advantage, don't dwell on it when necessary, and you're done. ”

"Seduction...... I hope I don't use it, I want to save the things I cherish to the witch who is in love with each other (whispering). ”

"And then there's the third point, the technique."

The whispering is ignored, and the eldest lady has become a learning machine with no feelings, only teaching people to learn, and not discussing any topics with personal feelings.

"Skills include several aspects, cooperation skills, negotiation skills and practical skills. The cooperation skills point to the team spirit, followed by the cooperation with the witch of the participating venue, and the negotiation skills are the same.

Practical skills are divided into three types: alchemy knowledge, alchemy techniques and material collection, which test the quality of the contestants from different angles, all of which are indispensable. The advantage of teaming up is that the advantages are complementary, and Miss Feng Buyue can't find any shortcomings in this regard, and the two of you should be able to easily get the rankings. It is recommended to divide up the work and assign their respective tasks. ”

The quill rubbed against the parchment and made a rustling sound, and Fujinaga's description was written down and organized into an alchemy contest strategy.

The content is concise and the practicality is max.

"He is worthy of being a top student of the Fujinaga family."

"Don't brag about me, it's all thanks to my sister and sister-in-law. She heard that I had a friend who was going to race, and after a night of ...... Discuss and summarize a detailed strategy for me to pass on to you. My sister sacrificed a lot for you to have back pain the next day when she couldn't walk. ”

"How many people in one night?"

"Not much, 10."

"Admire."

Rydge gratefully accepted the strategy and took a few potions from the storage space.

"The health potion I bought in Hakone, I was going to give it to the quartermaster, but she said no, why don't you pass it on to your sister for me?"
