Inside Wanmin Restaurant, the question of ‘who is going to eat this bowl of extra-spicy Fragrant Tender Chili Chicken’ was undoubtedly difficult for everyone.
According to Xiangling’s explanation, although this bowl of Fragrant Tender Chili Chicken was rated [71 points], reaching the [Sweating Profusely] standard, it wasn’t as simple as it looked on the surface, because for this bowl of Fragrant Tender Chili Chicken, Xiangling had added five times the amount of chili!
That’s right.
Based on the reverse derivation of the spiciness level, for this light cone’s rating system, [60 points] was not the passing line; [40 points] was!
In other words, for an average person eating spicy food, [40 points] is the limit; for those who like spicy food, it can go up to [60 points]; so this bowl of Fragrant Tender Chili Chicken with a full [71 points] was indeed not something an average person could handle!
“Ahem, I see that Mr.
Zhongli’s knowledge is vast and profound, clearly a big ~~~ shot.
Why don’t you eat this chicken?” Just as everyone was hesitating, Ayin quietly reached out and moved the bowl of Fragrant Tender Chili Chicken to Zhongli’s side, then deliberately said in a flattering tone.
“Sigh, that is incorrect.
The Traveler, Lumine, is a great hero of Liyue Harbor.
As his [older brother], you should naturally enjoy the best treatment.
You should eat this chicken.” Zhongli’s mouth twitched upon hearing this, and he silently moved the bowl back.
Xiangling, standing on the side, felt awkward seeing Rex Lapis and Brother Aether pushing the bowl back and forth.
Originally, he thought about just eating it himself, but remembering the light cone’s description that it must be made for a diner to eat, he had to give up.
Creak~ Just as Zhongli and Ayin were pushing it back and forth, the door of Wanmin Restaurant was pushed open from the outside.
Then, they saw Ningguang walking in slowly with a blue-haired woman.
Due to Ningguang’s fame in Liyue, the other diners were startled, but they didn’t say anything.
“Ningguang and Yelan, why are you here?
If you wanted to dine before, didn’t you always have Baixiao come to pick it up?” Xiangling was the first to notice the two entering the door and hurried forward to greet them.
“I happened to have some free time while out on business, so I came personally.” Ningguang smiled, explained briefly, then looked at Ayin on the side, and continued to ask pointedly, “Besides, I heard the Traveler’s blood relative has been found.
I assume it is you, sir.
May I ask how to address you?”
Looking at this wealthy woman, Ningguang, with shrewdness hidden in his eyes, it wasn’t hard to guess that the Law Officer from before had already told him about the matter.
“Just call me Aether.
If you want, you can also call me Brother Aether; I can take it~”
Although Ayin knew that with the Tianquan’s Vision and his own actions, Ningguang certainly wouldn’t believe he was Lumine’s older brother, that didn’t stop him from playing dumb!
“Heh, I’ve long heard that the Traveler’s brother has an outgoing and uninhibited personality and a style that knows no bounds.
Seeing you today, it is indeed so.” Ningguang revealed a meaningful smile upon hearing this and replied indifferently.
“Hahaha, just empty praise.”
Ayin, whose skin was thicker than a city wall, didn’t care at all about Ningguang’s teasing and waved his hand indifferently.
“By the way, Sister Ningguang, what would you like to eat today?
I’ll cook, I…” Xiangling, seeing the atmosphere was a bit awkward, wanted to invite everyone to sit down, but remembering that he had been hit with a light cone by that bad guy, stopped halfway through his sentence.
“Is something wrong?” Ningguang clearly sensed that Xiangling’s state was a bit off today and asked with a slightly concerned tone.
“Uh…
it’s because of Brother Aether.
The situation is like this…”
Seeing that he had let it slip, Xiangling could only explain the events that had just occurred to the two of them.
Upon learning the truth, the two couldn’t help but look at Ayin, who was sitting on the side watching the show.
Even with his thick skin, being stared at by two beauties at the level of mature women made him feel a bit awkward.
“Ahem, this is the trend of the situation; I was just going with the flow…
Besides, in a sense, Xiangling has profited.” Unable to take it, Ayin coughed lightly and explained with feigned calmness.
But it was clearly not very convincing.
“Heh, I didn’t expect Mr.
Aether to be such a unique person, possessing such a special ability.
Would you be willing to create a light cone for me as well?
You name the price.” Ningguang looked at the bowl of Fragrant Tender Chili Chicken on the table after hearing this, then asked with some interest.
Ayin, hearing Ningguang’s request, hurriedly shook his head, indicating that his power was exhausted this time and he would definitely help next time if fate allowed.
After all, just now, for the sake of face, Xiangling hadn’t mentioned the images from the light cone during his explanation.
Plus, his previous experience of selling light cones at the Interstellar Peace Corporation and finally being wanted by those two: Topaz and Jade.
Ningguang and Yelan.
His intuition told him that he should do less of this light cone selling business.
After all, if he were to be wanted by Liyue again, how could he find fun?
He would just become the fun himself!
“I haven’t eaten dinner yet.
How about I eat this bowl of food?
It just so happens you can test the effect.”
At this moment, a lazy but slightly sexy voice sounded from the side.
Then, they saw Yelan had sat down at the table at some point, pointing at the bowl of Fragrant Tender Chili Chicken on the table.
“Miss Yelan, according to general rationality, the spiciness of this dish is not something an ordinary person can accept.
Although it is rumored that you love spicy food, please consider it carefully.” Zhongli, who had been sitting opposite watching the show from the beginning, raised his head and reminded him slowly.
“That’s right, how could I forget Sister Yelan!
Rex…
Mr.
Zhongli, don’t worry.
Sister Yelan is someone who can even eat Jueyun Chili raw.
There will definitely be no problem eating this dish!” Xiangling, hearing this, suddenly realized and clenched his fists with some joy.
Ayin was stunned after listening to everyone’s conversation.
He didn’t expect Yelan to be so good at eating spicy food, and even have the skill of swallowing Jueyun Chili raw!
He really hadn’t learned about this when he was playing the game in his past life.
He only remembered that as a sub-DPS, he could increase damage and apply Hydro frequently…
One can only say that the Queen of the Night is still too authoritative.
Ten minutes later, as Yelan finished the entire bowl of Fragrant Tender Chili Chicken with a bowl of rice without changing his expression, at the moment he put down his chopsticks, a slightly eerie laughter suddenly rang out in everyone’s ears.
Aha~~~
Following the laughter identical to the [Aha Moment], a light red energy suddenly emerged from the empty bowl on the table out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, it wrapped around Xiangling who was standing nearby.
Two seconds later, the light gradually dissipated.
Xiangling was still standing there unscathed, but his surroundings seemed to be outlined by a light red energy, his whole body glowing slightly, and two buffs that only Vision holders could see appeared above his head:
[Sweating Profusely — Endless Elation]: Elation level increased by 44%
[Sweating Profusely — Promotion]: The next food made has a 44% chance to gain the original effect.
