Komatsu's Love Defense

I actually knew that the Century Soup was gone, but I still wanted to confirm it. So I walked to the edge of the icy lake and reached out with my hand, but I didn't feel anything.

I lowered my head silently, knowing full well that there must be a small amount of Century Soup left, just not in this place.

Just as I was about to get up, three familiar people suddenly broke in.

Zong Gai ran in and found that the legendary Century Soup was not there. He suddenly screamed in fear: "Hey, what is this? Is it real?"

“Nowhere, there’s none…” Zong Gai was about to say that there was no Century Soup.

Tieping flew over directly, slashed his hand directly on Zonggai's neck, and said dissatisfiedly: "You talk too much!"

I was shocked, thinking that Zong Gai almost said it. I quickly gave Tieping a look and pointed at that guy.

Tie Ping's face was calm and his tone was firm as he said softly, "Don't worry, I have already pressed his acupoints and he can't speak."

I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I was really worried that some idiot would say it out loud at this time.

Teppei wiped the sweat off his cheeks with his hands and couldn't help muttering, "Oh, the soup was almost exposed!"

Everyone present was stunned at the same time, as if they had been struck by lightning. The expressions on our faces were so wonderful.

Teppei realized that he had said something about the lack of soup, and his mouth opened in horror, then he quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

I'm not afraid of teammates who are like gods, I'm afraid of teammates who are like pigs. Tieping, you said this yourself, you can't blame me!

Tieping had an apologetic smile on his face. He scratched his head and wrote on the note: Sorry!

I shrugged helplessly, having already accepted the reality in my heart: "Well... you don't need to apologize now, just speak directly! Compared to that... at least introduce yourself!"

"My...name...is..." Tieping picked up the pen again and prepared to write his name on the note.

I quickly stopped Tieping from doing this: "I've already said what Tang didn't say, you don't need to write it down in the notebook!"

Tieping then realized that he had just said it. He raised his head and introduced himself with a smile: "Haha, sorry! My name is Tieping, and I'm a regenerationist!"

(Note: Food regenerators are the food rescue team that protects rare food ingredients, breeds extinct creatures, and restores dry soil. In the era of food, regenerators can be said to be on par with gourmets.)

Tieping put his hands on his hips and asked me curiously, "What's your name?"

I introduced myself slowly: "I'm a chef, my name is Xiaosong."

"Chef... I said you don't look like a gourmet! You have always been working with Alu, which means you are Alu's partner?" Tieping scratched his head and asked me with a smile.

I was silent for a moment. Alu hasn't told me yet that we should form a team together. He will only mention this when we arrive in the Sky City.

I didn't dare to directly admit my partnership with A Lu, so I had to ask, "Do you know Mr. A Lu?"

Tieping's face was filled with pride, and his voice was full of confidence: "Of course, that guy is a famous figure! But, hey, I'm not a pushover either, I'm also a bit famous..."

I looked at Tieping with a bit of contempt, thinking that you look like a thief wearing a mask. "Then why do you wear a mask?"

Tieping closed his eyes and explained in a serious tone why he wore a mask: "That's because the goals of a gourmet and a regenerator are exactly opposite! A gourmet is to capture ingredients, while a regenerator is to protect them. As the only one with a different goal on this journey, I cannot reveal my identity at the moment."

After saying this, Tieping jumped down steadily from the top and sat on the edge of the ice lake, staring at the icicle not far away: "I accepted a commission from someone to investigate the Century Soup, and as expected, the Century Soup is gone. The ingredients in the food display window are extinct species that no longer exist in the world. Even I find it difficult to reproduce them."

I clenched my fists tightly and made up my mind. No matter how hard it was, I had to cook the soup of the century!

“Yo, yo, yo…” A sad call came from the cave behind me.

I looked back and saw that it was the Walleye penguin chick that had just been lost. It was trembling all over, as if it had just experienced something terrible.

I slowly approached the Walleye penguin chick and hugged it gently: "Little guy, you finally got to see your parents, why are you here?"

When Tieping heard the sound, he turned around and exclaimed in surprise: "Oh? That's the Walleye penguin. Isn't it an endangered species?"

"Yo, yo, yo..." The Wall Penguin seemed to understand what I said and eagerly told me what had just happened.

Although I don't understand bird language, according to the plot of the original comic, its parents seemed to have been killed by Domitro.
