Western horror is all about gore: like a nurse with a sharp knife, covered in wounds, torturing her own face, surrounded by bright red blood.
Chinese horror focuses on harmony: like a nurse with a sharp knife, pixelated all over, torturing her own face, surrounded by bright green blood.
After the horror movie, everyone was actually fine.
"I just went to the bathroom and you’re spreading rumors that I went to change my pants, isn’t that too much!"
But upon returning from the bathroom, Bai Bufan, noticing the odd looks from everyone, imdiately pinpointed the culprit.
After finishing the horror movie, it wasn’t too late yet, so everyone decided to watch another one.
Only this ti it was a romance film.
Lin Li wasn’t very interested in romances without action, and fell asleep while watching.
A supposed scream from the movie’s female lead startled Lin Li awake.
He found himself resting on Bai Bufan’s shoulder, feeling unlucky.
He thought he’d need to wash his hair again later.
Rubbing his eyes, the movie was still playing, Ding Sihan was missing, Qu Wanqiu was asleep in Chen Yu Ying’s arms, and Chen Yu Ying was still watching the movie. Noticing him awake, she gave a small wave and smiled.
Lin Li glared at Qu Wanqiu, feeling frustrated.
After responding, Lin Li turned his head to see that Bai Bufan had fallen asleep too.
Even though it was difficult, Lin Li managed to get up without waking Bai Bufan.
He managed to get up without waking Bai Bufan.
When he got to the bathroom, he happened to see Ding Sihan coming out from inside — typically, no one cos to the third floor just to use the bathroom.
"You’re awake." Ding Sihan greeted, and Lin Li nodded.
After finishing in the bathroom, Lin Li saw Ding Sihan rummaging through snacks in the living room.
"Hungry?" Lin Li asked while drying his hands with a tissue.
"Yeah, the restaurant tonight wasn’t good, so I didn’t eat much. The snacks aren’t satisfying either. Lin Li, do you want anything? I’m thinking about ordering so take-out."
Ding Sihan nodded and, after rummaging through the snacks on the table for a while, asked.
"Not for , I’ve brushed my teeth." Lin Li wasn’t really hungry, so he declined.
"Alright." Ding Sihan didn’t insist.
"Wait, don’t order just yet!" Lin Li suddenly called over.
"Ah?" Ding Sihan jumped, "What’s wrong, do you want sothing? What do you feel like eating, I haven’t decided yet."
"Ordering take-out isn’t healthy. Ding Sihan, let make you a late-night snack." Lin Li said sincerely.
He had just rembered that for the genuine complint task, if "4" requires one from each friend, he hadn’t received one from Ding Sihan yet.
And now that he had gained the skill of "cooking", with Ding Sihan being quite hungry, it might be a good chance to earn that complint.
Upon hearing this, Ding Sihan swallowed a gulp of saliva.
But it wasn’t out of hunger, it was out of fear—
"Take-out at most makes a little sick, but you would be the death of , Lin Li, I don’t deserve this, do I?" Ding Sihan exclaid in horror.
Bitter mories were already resurfacing in his mind.
Lin Li: "..."
How hurtful.
But he couldn’t bla Ding Sihan, after all, he had a record, so Lin Li simply replied sincerely, "Xiaodingding, a gentleman changes every three days, you mustn’t look at with the sa eyes as before."
"But you also have to wait two more days, it hasn’t even been the first three days yet." Ding Sihan quickly shook his head.
"Trust this once. The reason I ssed up so badly yesterday was mainly to avoid upstaging Little Qiuqiu. It was intentional. I actually have so expertise in cooking," Lin Li argued logically.
Seeing Ding Sihan still didn’t believe him, Lin Li continued to persuade:
"Look, you can watch how I make the late-night snack later, and then you’ll know. If you think it’s inedible or not tasty, then don’t eat it."
"...Alright then." Ding Sihan hesitantly nodded.
The ingredients in the guesthouse were not lacking, and there were still quite a few leftovers from yesterday in the refrigerator.
"What are you doing?" Seeing Lin Li close the fridge door carefully, even sticking his head on it, Ding Sihan asked curiously.
"Oh oh, sorry, I got caught up in observing the refrigerator light experint again by accident." Lin Li scratched his head and said.
As a kid, discovering that the fridge light turned off when the door was pressed made him feel like a physics genius.
Darn it, Lin Li suddenly rembered how Wu Min promised him a fridge as a birthday gift when he was a kid, and he was thrilled for a long ti, feeling so happy.
He decided he’d also get his kids a 4090 in the future.
After checking the ingredients, Lin Li took out his phone.
"Now what are you up to?" Ding Sihan, watching him from the side, asked puzzled.
"Checking what dishes I can make with these ingredients, and how to make them." Lin Li answered honestly.
Ding Sihan: "?"
Ding Sihan turned and walked away, "I’m ordering take-out!"
Turns out this guy was learning on the spot!
Still want to die on your own!
"No, no, no! That’s not the issue!" Lin Li quickly stopped Ding Sihan.
The talent gives technique and knowledge, while also directly bestowing proficiency to the body. Lin Li can now toss and stir-fry, knows how to distinguish and handle spices and ingredients... But indeed, knows nothing about recipes.
Later, I should open up [Strong mory] and morize so recipes as a knowledge reserve. Checking each ti really makes it hard for others to believe I can cook.
After finding the right recipes for these ingredients, Lin Li imdiately started preparing.
"Knock knock knock."
First, begin processing the ingredients.
Ding Sihan, who was initially looking helpless, widened her eyes.
Because Lin Li’s cutting was too skillful.
The knife and fingertips had almost no distance, it always felt like he’d cut his fingers at any second. But Lin Li maintained this distance and cut the ingredients extrely quickly and neatly.
Even more skilled and confident than Qu Wanqiu.
If the knife at the guesthouse was sharper, it would be even faster.
Heat the oil, Lin Li started cooking.
"You really know how to do this?" Ding Sihan had to believe after seeing this scene.
Lin Li tilted his head, appearing a bit smug: "Xiaoding, when have I ever lied to you?"
"Like dozens of tis just today."
Lin Li: "..."
Seems like that’s the case.
"Your sunny side up eggs are so silky. Mine always fall apart, I can only scramble them," Ding Sihan comnted.
"It’s simple, you have to use the chicken’s."
Ding Sihan: "?"
"Get lost!"
"Quack quack quack, anyway, you understand now, yesterday I was just playing dumb for laughs, didn’t show my true skills at all. It’s smoky in here, go wait by the dining table."
Lin Li said with a grin, full of confidence, his actions composed.
"Fine, now I’m a bit expecting it." Confident Lin Li was indeed dazzling, Ding Sihan nodded.
After hearing Ding Sihan’s footsteps fade away.
Lin Li was no longer composed, sneakily looking around, quickly picked up a pair of chopsticks, dipped them into the pot, picked up so ingredients, blew on them, and after they cooled a bit, stuffed them into his mouth.
"Hmm, still not right."
Damn, those bastards who write recipes, "appropriate amount", "suitable", what the hell do you an?
Do you have no idea about the skill level of the people reading your recipes?
Can’t you just give a specific asurent?
...
"Ahaha chicken soup coming up." Lin Li ca out holding three plates, placing them in front of Ding Sihan.
"Let this scrambled egg be your main dish, don’t worry, considering it’s eaten just like that, I kept it light, it won’t be salty."
Looking at the dish that looked and slled delightful, Ding Sihan found it hard to associate it with the person who turned food into charcoal yesterday.
It looked and slled like it couldn’t possibly taste bad, and Ding Sihan was no longer afraid, picked up the chopsticks: "Then I’ll eat it."
"Of course." Lin Li nodded and sat opposite.
After a tentative bite, Ding Sihan’s eyes lit up: "Delicious!"
Giving Lin Li a thumbs up, Ding Sihan started to devour the food.
Lin Li wasn’t in a hurry, waiting for Ding Sihan to almost finish, cleared his throat: "After the al, you should know what you ought to do for the chef."
Ding Sihan nodded, then left.
Ca back two minutes later.
A one-yuan coin was tossed onto Lin Li, Ding Sihan’s voice cold: "Clean up yourself."
Lin Li: "?"
"Why is this one yuan back in my hands again! You didn’t wake up Bai Bufan just to give you this money, did you? And why clean up again! What do you people take for!" Lin Li broke down.
So an annoyed Lin Li, this ti he took the money without wiping it on his face, just put it straight into his pocket.
"Hee hee." Ding Sihan chuckled first, then gave Lin Li a thumbs up: "Alright, alright
Thanks Lin Li, the late-night snack you made was very satisfying, Wanqiu can only be the kitchen king, you’re truly the Ancient Greece’s god of cooking.
Top chef, god among gods, extrely mighty chef god, sixth generation of chef god, overwhelmingly dominant chef god! Master of all chefs! The most chef god man in the world..."
[During this squad’s training, gained sincere recognition and praise from other squad mbers (3/4).]
Lin Li: "..."
"Were you mumbling nonsensical stuff just now, didn’t sneak so insults in, did you?"
