Appetite whetted, finally getting a decent al in the Matrix Ga, Li Zheng decided to have a feast tonight, raising his hand to select three dishes, perfectly occupying all three stoves.
"Huh? The cooking tis for these dishes vary, the at soup actually takes forty-five minutes?
Braised at thirty minutes, stir-fried at slices five minutes."
No worries, I’ll wait, it’s rare to have a good al, so let’s enjoy it slowly.
"Let’s see if there’s anything else in the recipe book."
While waiting, Li Zheng studied the recipe book and found that it even had staple foods like noodles and rice.
Right now he has flour, so he can make a portion of noodles.
He directly edited the subsequent cooking plan to add the noodles, perfectly tid after the stir-fried at slices.
After flipping through the entire recipe, Li Zheng noticed a "customize" feature at the bottom.
Checking the ingredients, Li Zheng used this feature to make so spicy kimchi, setting it aside to fernt.
Note to the recipe author.
"Xiao Ying, co back to eat!"
He brought the salad and stir-fried at slices to the door, where Xiao Ying was already waiting.
As soon as the two dishes ca out, the little guy slled the aroma, sniffing with its nose, its small eyes almost glowing.
"Yip... slurp~ yip yip!"
Xiao Ying displayed a greedy look, already impatient.
Li Zheng laughed heartily: "Look at you drooling, go wash your hands quickly!"
"Yip?"
Xiao Ying looked up confused, seemingly wondering why it had to wash its hands.
Previously, it was all about grilled ats, adhering to the old belief of eating without concerns about cleanliness, Li Zheng never required Xiao Ying to wash its hands before als.
But this ti was different, Li Zheng felt that this al was way classier than those haphazard grilled ats, naturally deserving so formality.
Mainly because there’s now a restroom, accommodating pre-al handwashing.
After washing hands with Xiao Ying, he brought out a pair of small chopsticks for it, taking ten minutes to barely teach it how to use them.
Watching it awkwardly pick up a small piece of salad, striving to bring it to its mouth, Li Zheng was filled with satisfaction.
"You eat it yourself." Ruffling Xiao Ying’s head, Li Zheng poured a bit of the Zhongshi milk for it from a small bottle.
"Yip yip yip!"
With a bite of salad, a sip of Zhongshi milk, and then sampling the stir-fried at slices, the little guy was over the moon.
Master and servant both wielding chopsticks like the wind, the two plates weren’t nearly enough for them, and with the next braised at not ready yet, Li Zheng and Xiao Ying sat outside staring at each other wide-eyed.
"Wait here."
Li Zheng got up and went inside, shortly bringing out a plate of crystal clear, tender and white jade-like crab at sashimi.
This was also a no-cook option from the recipe book, just choose the right ingredients and seasonings, and it would process automatically.
"Here, the promised crab at sashimi today!"
Li Zheng placed the plate down, pointing to a spot of thick, sticky green sauce next to it, with a mischievous smile: "Dip it in this to eat."
"Yip yip?"
Xiao Ying was full of curiosity, albeit with a sense of foreboding.
But recalling the flavors of the last two dishes, it couldn’t resist the temptation, and carefully picked up a small piece of crab at, cautiously dipping a bit of the sauce.
Bringing it up to its nose for a sniff, wasabi’s unique pungent spiciness hit its nostrils, and the little guy burst into tears on the spot.
Li Zheng laughed heartily, seeing it hesitate to eat, he demonstrated by taking a big bite of sashimi drenched in wasabi soy sauce.
Then both he and Xiao Ying started crying.
Crying while eating.
Eating while crying.
No help for it, although wasabi was intensely spicy and pungent, the crab at was exceptionally refreshing, impossible to resist.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Ying, while scared, couldn’t stop salivating, closed its eyes and took a bite.
Then, they both, eating while crying together.
When the braised at was done, Li Zheng went to get it, pausing in surprise as he found this dish surprisingly had an additional attribute effect.
[Effect: Agility (Speed Increase 10%)
Duration: 4 hours]
"This stuff can actually provide a buff effect!"
Li Zheng was baffled, but the braised at was just Black Iron Level, whether it could enhance himself at the Bronze Level was still unknown.
"Hopefully the calculation doesn’t follow the sa logic as potions."
Before heading out with the braised at, the previously scheduled noodles were just finished, Li Zheng gave it a glance as well.
[Effect: Strengthen Body (Flesh and Defense Increase 10%)
Duration: 4 hours]
Going out to eat the two dishes with Xiao Ying, Li Zheng imdiately felt a bit different.
"Body feels slightly lighter, flesh... especially skin, has a slightly taut sensation."
The system’s panel displayed two temporary icons, blinking with a countdown.
"Only two hours, is it because I only ate half of each?"
Don’t be fooled by Xiao Ying’s small size, its appetite now matches Li Zheng’s, especially with today’s delicious al, the little guy went all out, nearly outpacing Li Zheng.
Getting up to jump twice, the body indeed felt a touch more nimble.
Back inside for the spear, Li Zheng practiced the spear art in the open area outside.
Putting forth full effort, Li Zheng clearly felt his speed had improved.
"Facing the Burrow Guard now, even without that neural strike, although it’s hard to kill it, I can at least remain undefeated!"
Li Zheng was overjoyed, collecting his spear and standing upright.
"Should I test the defense of my skin?"
As the idea popped up, Li Zheng instinctively felt a bit resistant.
Self-harming just for an experint?
Sounds a bit too insane!
...
"Hmm, it’s hard for ordinary Bronze Level cold weapons to harm in this state, but firearm-type weapons can still breach the defense, only not penetrating the muscle layer."
