Chapter 35: Really Smells Good
one day ago.
"vomit!"
"vomit!"
In a dark, dilapidated small restaurant, there was the sound of violent vomiting.
After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a French dining apron, with thick limbs, a fat head and a round face, walked out from the small public restroom connected to the back kitchen of the restaurant.
His face looked very pale, and his pupils still flashed with residual fear. He supported the wall with his left hand, and covered his lower abdomen with his right hand. He stumbled forward with his body arched. The pain on his face was as if he had just given birth.
"What a bastard! Fuck the foodies!"
The middle-aged man slumped down on his seat. He was obviously a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but within a few seconds, he cried "Wow".
While crying, she cursed, her tone full of grievances, like an innocent young girl who had just been dumped by a heartless man.
I have never experienced anything so painful in my life!
That's right, he is the player who will soon trade with Chen Ye - Wang Jing.
His occupation is [Gourmet].
As the name suggests, as a [Gourmet], the rule of thumb is to taste delicious food from all over the world.
At the beginning, Wang Jing felt that he was very lucky, he was simply the chosen one!
As a foodie, you can unlock the characteristics related to "eating". Doesn't that mean you treat your hobby as a career, and just eating can improve your performance?
Simplicity, enjoyment, happiness...
Moreover, Wang Jing's job happens to be a taster, specializing in helping other chefs taste dishes.
For gourmets, it is only natural to taste delicacies from all over the world for free. This profession means that when they ask for food, they do not need to pay any chips, and it is not within the scope of equal exchange.
Combined, Wang Jing felt that he had simply gotten a Tianhu start!
But it turned out that he was wrong, and very wrong!
None of the "chefs" who came to the store were normal at all. The foods they prepared were all centipedes with three eyes, spiders with ten legs, and broccoli made of bones from unknown mammals...
When Wang Jing saw these foods, he originally refused them.
Even if I die, I won't eat such disgusting stuff!
But as time went by, he became hungry, so hungry that he was dazzled, so hungry that he felt dizzy, and so hungry that everything smelled delicious...
When Wang Jing was about to faint from hunger, Gui next to him was still tempting:
"Dear gourmet, please taste my freshly baked food!"
“These ingredients are carefully selected!”
“The food is cooked with care!”
“The food is so delicious!”
"Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!"
"You will be happy, you will be happy, you will feel unprecedented satisfaction, as if you have arrived in heaven and become a free little angel..."
Although people cannot solve math problems when they are in a hurry, but when they are hungry and crazy, they can indeed muster up the courage to become the second Mr. Pei!
Wang Jing was about to lose consciousness. The indescribable thing on the plate reflected in his eyes and suddenly became so delicious... He grabbed something at random and stuffed it in one after another. In the mouth.
However, an extremely pungent and foul-smelling liquid, like the liquid inside the bodies of countless insects, was squeezed out and stirred around in a drum made of sewer pipes. The resulting mud was poured in sticky of the mouth.
At this moment, Wang Jing suddenly woke up. He felt as if his throat was about to be stuck by something. His eyes were red, his breathing was rapid, and he was about to suffocate to death...
Fortunately, a Loli next to her, wearing a doll-like short skirt and a beret, with skin as pale as death and lips as red as blood, handed over a bright red drink.
The crisp voice echoed in Wang Jing's ears with a smile, but it was as cold as falling into an ice cave:
"Drink it!"
Wang Jing felt that he was about to die. His brain had difficulty thinking. He instinctively took the blood-red drink from the hand of the doll Loli and drank it all in one gulp...
Finally, the feeling of suffocation gradually faded away, and Wang Jing felt fresh air pouring into his nasal cavity again. His brain gradually recovered from the state of extreme hypoxia, and his consciousness was slowly returning...
A soft voice came:
"Does it taste good? Does it taste good?"
"well……"
Wang Jing wanted to spit out the words "Go to hell", but he couldn't hold on any longer and passed out.
Before his consciousness was completely blurred, there was still a faint sound of the doll girl's laughter "clucking" in his ears:
"Hey, I can finally get a "good" compliment from a connoisseur. Let me take this reward as your gift..."
The next day, Wang Jing opened his eyes with difficulty and suddenly realized that he was not dead!
In front of his desk, a bag of coins actually appeared!
Opening the bag and counting carefully, there were as many as two hundred coins!
I'm so rich!
"Am I dreaming after death?"
Wang Jing patted his face, felt a burst of pain, and gradually realized that he might still be alive...
He tried to squat and then stood up again, but his knees were intact, which at least meant that he had not been turned into a zombie like the living dead.
For a moment, Wang Jing felt that he was really going to die.
Those two customers who came in were not fucking human beings at all!
But a deadly trick!
You can still live after eating this damn thing?
Wang Jing found it unbelievable that he was still standing there and had received a bag of huge copper coins, as if he was still in a dream.
He opened the bloody phone and carefully checked the characteristics of [Gourmet]. Suddenly, he had an urge to smash the phone——
[Gourmet Characteristics:]
[Free Food and Drink: You can taste the world's delicacies for free and make comments. Of course, you can also pay for it. ]
[This is called professionalism: After getting your affirmation, you need to pay a certain tasting fee. ]
[Gifts from diners: Chefs who get your affirmation can return a certain amount of weirdness. ]
[Delicacies: As a qualified gourmet, you should taste all the delicacies in the world. When you eat different types of food, you will be rewarded with weirdness. When you eat food that you shouldn't eat, you can offset death by not getting weirdness, but your body will have a short-term negative impact (non-permanent, long-term damage). ]
When he saw the last characteristic of [Delicacies], Wang Jing finally understood why he didn't die.
The bloody phone didn't pop up any information about getting weirdness value.
After a while, his stomach suddenly hurt violently and began to jump up and down...
It kept jumping for several hours, and there was still stamina. His dark and simple face was now paler than a dead person.
Who can stand this!
Thinking that he would taste this damn thing every day as a [gourmet] in the future...
Wang Jing couldn't help it anymore, and cried like a tough guy, thinking that there was no point in living like this?
It would be better to die!
Just when he was desperate, he subconsciously opened the bloody phone. He was used to watching short videos on a certain audio platform to numb himself with this kind of "spiritual opium". But after opening it, he realized that after the bloody countdown came, where would the entertainment short videos come from?
Well, surfing the forum seems to be a good choice.
After browsing a few times, he found that someone was discussing Chen Ye's sugar-roasted chestnuts, which seemed to be delicious?
Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, and sneered in his heart: "How can there be delicious food in this ghost-like world?"
But he subconsciously clicked on the information of "Sugar-fried chestnuts" and was deeply attracted by the picture at a glance.
The color, shape...
It looks delicious!
But the price is not cheap, it actually costs five copper coins, which is already a considerable amount for early players.
Wang Jing hesitated again and again, looked at the two hundred coins in the bag, and gritted his teeth:
"If I live like this crippled, eating this kind of ghost stuff every day, what's the point?"
"I don't want to live anymore. Find an opportunity in the next few days and kill me with a trick!"
"This money, before I die, I don't care whether it's expensive or delicious..."
The next second, Wang Jing directly sent a transaction invitation and exchanged five copper coins for sugar-fried chestnuts.
However, when the sugar-fried chestnuts were put into his mouth and chewed carefully...
[You have tasted A-level delicacy - sugar-fried chestnuts! ]
[Weirdness value +100! 】
“It smells so good!”
