Chapter 1163: Changes in Thinking and Further Improvement of the System!

"Lord, come and try it. This is the signature dish of our store, the flaming tofu!"

From the steaming kitchen, the Fire King rushed out, as if holding a ball of fire.

The thinly sliced ​​tofu lay quietly in the flames, and the surface was roasted and continued to absorb the soup below.

Sizzle, sizzle.

The plate shook left and right, and from time to time, there was a sound of water splashing into the hot oil.

But the magical thing is that when the Fire King put down the flaming tofu, the flame on it disappeared immediately.

"This little trick is quite unique."

Smelling the special fragrance in the air, Su Mo gave praise without hesitation.

The route bonus only gives the chef apprentice the ability in smell, which can ensure that the food made always has a controllable lower limit.

But as for the upper limit, it depends on personal performance and ability.

"Lord, please try it. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Okay, I'll try."

Taking apart the chopsticks handed over by Wu You, Su Mo swiped it twice and picked up a piece of tofu.

Visually, the tofu slices looked extremely soft and tender, as if they would rot if the chopsticks were poked into them.

But when you pick it up, it is very tough and has a bouncy feeling.

He blew a breath and put it in his mouth.

Su Mo chewed it carefully, and his frowning eyebrows quickly relaxed because of the heat.

"Is this good?!"

Su Mo raised his head.

While talking, the fragrance in his mouth continued to stimulate his taste buds.

A crispy and numb feeling was quickly spreading from his throat down.

It was a bit like the feeling of drinking white wine, but it was thousands of times smoother.

"Try this ant climbing a tree!"

Turning back to the kitchen, Wu You quickly brought out another piece of minced meat vermicelli.

The portion is very large. At least according to the appetite of wasteland players now, one person will definitely not be able to finish it.

After taking a few sips of noodles, Su Mo's eyes brightened.

Although he rarely comes to the village to eat, it does not mean that he rarely eats the food in these restaurants.

Sometimes when he is tired of eating in the village cafeteria, Su Mo will ask the guards to help or buy a fast food from a small stall to take back, or directly pack a day's meal in the cafeteria.

The name is: to understand the people's sentiments.

In the past, the meals of these restaurants basically pursued a sense of fullness, focusing on a good portion and a good taste, to attract some residents who do not want to cook at home but are greedy for cheapness.

To be honest, in terms of style and taste, there are not many breakthroughs on the original basis.

Most of them are based on copying dishes on Earth, and dare not add new materials and new seasonings found in the wasteland.

However, I didn't expect that this restaurant, which was converted from a weapon store, would quietly overtake.

With two dishes, Wu You brought out a large pot of fermented glutinous rice and wolfberry soup to go with the rice.

Not long after, there were three rice bowls as big as heads on the table, which was really scary.

"Not bad, not bad, these two dishes are very delicious."

After finishing two dishes and eating 80% full, Su Mo put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

Turning his head, he saw a little girl in the back kitchen quietly looking at him from a gap.

The two looked at each other, and the latter took two steps back in fear, hitting her head on the basin hanging on the wall.

There was a crisp bang.

"Hey, are you so scared of me?"

Su Mo laughed, and he couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the little girl rubbing the back of her head.

"Isn't this your chef?"

"Of course it's not Lin Yin, why don't you come over and say hello to the lord, what are you afraid of, I won't eat you."

Wu You waved his hand, and Lin Yin, who was standing in the back kitchen, had to come out and said hello to the lord crisply.

Hearing the movement in front, Lin Cheng, holding a rice spoon, also came out.

"Hello, Lord. She is my sister. I am sorry to disturb you while you are eating."

"It's okay. I have finished eating too."

The slightly thin boy looked a little sleep deprived, with two big dark circles under his eyes.

Su Mo looked at him in surprise, and suddenly thought of looking through the community panel two days ago.

"Are you Lin Cheng?"

"Hey, Lord, do you know me?"

"Of course I know. You are the fastest among the newcomers. How can I, the Lord, not pay attention to you?"

As a representative of latecomers, Lin Cheng's chef apprentice level rose to level 4 in one month.

Although compared with the current chef apprentices who have reached the highest level of eight, this level is not good enough.

But he is definitely one of the top ones among the newcomers, so much so that he, the Lord, remembered this name on the game management panel before he saw the real person.

"Ahaha"

It seems that he has never received such praise.

Lin Cheng scratched his head, laughed foolishly, and looked a little uncomfortable all over.

"I found that researching new dishes will also increase experience, so it may be faster to level up."

"You like researching new dishes?"

Su Mo looked at him in surprise: "I remember that on the first personal analysis form you submitted before, you wrote that your strengths were casting and cooking, right?"

"You also know this?"

Lin Cheng's eyes widened and he was stunned.

The personal information form collected in the Snow Mountain was the only one in which he wrote that he could cast.

After arriving in the territory, he only wrote cooking as his strength.

I didn't expect that Su Mo would remember this, which really shocked Lin Cheng.

"Lin Cheng, as a lord, there are many people in our territory now. Although I haven't communicated with you face to face many times, I have personally read all your information."

Su Mo narrowed his eyes and squeezed the small cube in his pocket.

Of course, he would not say that as long as he wanted to know, Zero could instantly provide information about all residents.

And even if the distance was so close, the directional sound technology could be used to prevent other people from hearing.

However, as a lord, sometimes you really need to use some "little cleverness".

For example, when he heard him say this, Lin Cheng was immediately moved.

"Casting is my hobby, and hobbies cannot be eaten. Cooking is a skill to make a living."

"Yes, it seems that you can recognize the reality of the wasteland."

Su Mo was quite satisfied with Lin Cheng's answer.

With the further development of industrialization, manual casting will sooner or later be a skill that will be replaced.

Even if the precision of human manual work exceeds the upper limit of the machine at some times.

But under the mass production of assembly lines, it will still be replaced.

However, since he can take casting as his hobby and develop so many new dishes.

It still shows that Lin Cheng's creativity is far superior to others.

"Come on, if you can be the first player among the newcomers to reach level 6, I will give you a surprise."

The "fireman" route can be generated by fusing the chef apprentice with the training ground soldier.

And the "handmade chef apprentice" route can be generated by fusing the chef apprentice with the handicraft enthusiast.

Both require the player's level to reach level 6 before the conversion.

For outstanding talents, Su Mo has never been stingy with rewards.

Sure enough, when he heard him say this, Lin Cheng's face immediately showed an indescribable excitement.

And Wu You next to him was also very excited, and he almost printed out this sentence and posted it at the door as a sign.

"You kid, be careful."

After glaring at the latter, Su Mo paid the bill and walked out of Huoli Catering.

It was only a short while before and after, and it was unknown when the sky started to snow again.

Su Mo raised his hand to catch a few snowflakes.

Under the influence of the Oreo statue, the snowflakes seem to have a warm feeling when they fall on the skin.

This winter, the weather seems to have less impact than before.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it has basically not affected the speed of the development of Tianyuan Territory.

Like now, those busy figures on the construction site have no intention of stopping at all.

Although the territory has issued an order at the beginning of winter, work can be stopped appropriately in bad weather.

The hardworking little players are unwilling to waste any time, and they are trying their best to complete the backlog of projects before the arrival of spring.

Walking along the asphalt road, Su Mo stopped in front of a small building with three floors.

I don’t know when the sign of the small building has been changed, from the original "General Work Bureau" to "Human Resources Department".

It seems to have the taste of the future ruins.

Su Mo pushed open the door and walked in, and a warm feeling immediately hit him.

The first floor of the Human Resources Bureau is designed as a counter hall.

There are several rows of iron chairs opposite the counter for residents who come to find work to rest temporarily.

Since no new people have been found in the past few days, there are not many people queuing inside at this time.

Only a few people submitted their information and were waiting for the staff behind the counter to review it.

Seeing Su Mo coming in, the well-organized working atmosphere inside was not broken.

Everyone just raised their heads and looked at him respectfully, and then continued to be busy with their own work.

Including a few job seekers, they just sat up straight without those empty etiquette.

Going up to the second floor, there are more staff inside.

As one of the most important institutions in the territory, the Human Resources Department is not only responsible for job introductions, but also pays as much attention to everyone's work status as possible.

The data is counted once a month. If it is rated as unqualified twice in a row.

The Human Resources Department will consider adjusting the newcomer's place to help him find a more suitable place.

"To be honest, the development of the territory is much faster than I thought, especially your efficiency in doing things, which has exceeded the judgment of artificial intelligence."

Coming to the office on the third floor, Su Mo found the director of the Human Resources Department, 'Lv Xuan'.

This powerful person who served as the Minister of Human Resources of Tianyuan Territory in the future ruins has now been discovered by Su Mo in advance and placed in a position suitable for his performance.

The effect is really good, at least much better than the previous chaotic work department.

"You are too kind. Although the current work efficiency is indeed amazing from our perspective on Earth, you know that working for yourself and working for others are two different things."

Su Mo looked at him in surprise.

"What do you mean by working for yourself?"

Lu Xuan smiled and explained in a gentle tone.

"I know you definitely don't want to hear those clichés, but there is one thing that is true now, in the general cognition of all residents"

"The territory is my home, and development depends on everyone."

"This is not a slogan full of nothingness and flattery, but a real situation."

Home?

Su Mo was stunned when he heard this and laughed.

"Human desires are infinite. It shouldn't be possible to rely solely on such beliefs, right?"

"Yes, so we have added some appropriate management mechanisms to ensure that those desires can be suppressed and the current development speed can be maintained." Lu Xuan nodded honestly.

Comparing the wasteland life in the past year with the present, the survivors do have the idea of ​​treating the territory as home and developing it with all their strength.

After all, the Tianyuan territory is too peaceful.

It is like returning to the earth here, without any pressure to survive.

But if we only rely on this idea to drive humans forward and drive the development of the territory, it is not enough.

It may be a dispute or an imbalance caused by the huge gap between the rich and the poor.

The concept of home will be broken in an instant, leading to negative thoughts.

"Forget it, let's discuss these issues at the monthly meeting."

History has proved that excessive intervention sometimes not only does not bring positive effects, but also makes the originally good situation spiral downward.

When it comes to the development of the territory, Su Mo is extremely inclined to work together.

The lord is more like to correct mistakes, not to avoid mistakes.

This is a fundamental difference.

"I came here today mainly to see the registration situation for the Wanjing Battle. You should have already counted the data, right?"

"Almost, only a small number of people are still wavering."

From the cabinet, Lu Xuan took out a basically completed data report.

According to the existing data, at least 49% of the residents want to participate in this battle, 38% have clearly refused, and 13% are still hesitating.

This is lower than the data ratio of most human settlements, and it can even be said to be much lower.

Among the people who refused, there are more players who follow the farmer route and handicraft enthusiasts.

For the former, they prefer a peaceful life and prefer to create the future with their own hands.

And the farmer route does not need to go out to fight to earn experience. As long as you farm the land in a rigid manner, you can get several times the daily tasks of other players. Naturally, there is no need to participate.

For the latter, most of the routes are composed of women, and they are obviously at a great disadvantage in dangerous battles.

In particular, the game also explains that participating in the competition will inevitably involve confrontation with alien races.

When thinking of those huge monsters, players on the handicraft enthusiast route are even more reluctant.

Besides, even if they can be promoted to the next level, it will not change the overall situation of the territory's development.

It is better to take advantage of this time to focus more on work, and maybe you can make more money.

In addition, some mechanical apprentices involved in research and development are also unwilling to participate in this fight.

In their view, in addition to the bonus of the route, humans have more goals to be completed.

The so-called benefits brought to them by the route are sometimes not much more than a whim.

Participating will waste time and energy, and there is a chance of injury.

It is really not worth it.
