Witch Special
Chapter 225: Cooking Competition - Foreigner Zhou Meili
When your nose is bothering you, sneezing can actually clear your entire body. However, if you sneeze too often and can't stop, it becomes a form of torture, a form of torture. The intense tremors that seemed to churn your brain matter together made Lin Zhenxi once again experience a splitting headache.
It turns out that sneezing, like coughing, can also cause headaches...
Lin Zhenxi sneezed against the wall, tears streaming down her face. Her self-image had completely shattered. Fortunately, Yan Qing had just passed the phone in Black Maomao's arms and turned off the live broadcast before leaving the stage, otherwise Lin Zhenxi would have been humiliated to the point of being thrown into the Pacific Ocean.
Yan Qing stood aside, watching Lin Zhenxi in such pain, looking somewhat bewildered. She was the director of the "company's" resettlement center and a highly skilled doctor, but given Lin Zhenxi's current condition, Yan Qing could do nothing but infer that she might have an allergic reaction to something.
Her treatment methods all required the assistance of various instruments and equipment. Now she had nothing at hand, and even the best cook could not cook without rice.
What kind of allergic reaction is this, and why is it so intense? Could it be... poisoning?
At this time, because she heard Lin Zhenxi sneezing, the older sister who came downstairs from Xinju also came over. Seeing Lin Zhenxi's painful appearance, she walked directly in front of Lin Zhenxi.
"Bear with it, don't move." After she said that, she used the palms of her hands to hold Lin Zhenxi's cheeks.
Trying to hold back a sneeze was even more uncomfortable than sneezing continuously. Lin Zhenxi's eyes were already watering, and now they couldn't be stopped. However, as the older sister pressed her thumbs on both sides of Lin Zhenxi's nose, massaging her hands skillfully, two streams of heat passed through her fingertips and pressed on the acupuncture points on Lin Zhenxi's face, and Lin Zhenxi felt much better immediately.
Anyway, she began to feel less like sneezing, and the itchiness in her eyes quickly eased. After a while, Lin Zhenxi's expression finally stopped twisting.
The elder sister then let go of Lin Zhenxi and said to her, "Go wash your nose, it may heal faster."
"Yeah." Lin Zhenxi nodded, covering her nose, and began to look for water. Black Cat considerately took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Lin Zhenxi, asking Lin Zhenxi to unscrew it and pour it into the palm of her hand to clean her nose.
The older sister seemed to be interested in the black cat that could create things out of thin air just like Doraemon.
"Um, sister, were you using qigong just now?" Yan Qing tugged at the corner of her elder sister's clothes, staring at her with a pair of sparkling emerald cat eyes and asked.
Massage alone wouldn't produce the kind of immediate results, and neither would acupuncture, whether electroacupuncture or manual acupuncture. The only thing Yan Qing could think of that could bring someone with a severe allergy back to normal so quickly was the legendary qigong.
After all, even magic and Transformers have appeared, so of course Qigong and internal strength must exist as well, right?
The elder sister was stunned by Yan Qing's question, but finally nodded and admitted, "Yes, I used Qigong to massage the girl's Yingxiang and Bitong points, which relieved her sneezing symptoms. However, massage can only relieve symptoms, not eliminate them, and the duration of the 'Qi' is also limited."
"You can't tell anyone, and even if you do, I won't admit it. The city government requires us to keep a low profile and not casually display this kind of power to ordinary citizens."
"It's okay, sister. We have a very high level of authority. Confidentiality agreements below level six are not binding on us." Yan Qing had completely set her sights on the elder sister. Not only were the cat ears on her head raised, but even her tail was curled up. "Sister, are there any necessary conditions for practicing this Qigong? Otherwise, I will become your disciple!"
The elder sister looked at Yan Qing, who was holding onto her hand, with some embarrassment. She was a little puzzled as to why this child's personality was so changeable. She was one way in the restaurant, another on stage, and now yet another. Could she be the legendary cat demon?
Moreover, a Level 6 confidentiality agreement… even the one Liu Angxing signed wasn't at this level, and she herself was only Level 3, because Qigong was considered a supernatural power that "exceeded the limits of ordinary people." A Level 6 confidentiality agreement, then, required someone possessing some kind of power to be qualified to sign it. Was it destroying New Blue City?
Just as the elder sister was feeling very embarrassed by Yan Qing's harassment, Lin Zhenxi had already endured the concentrated negative feedback of "Strong Iron Will" and returned to normal. Seeing Yan Qing's useless appearance, Lin Zhenxi took advantage of her height and hit Yan Qing on the head with a knife-like hand.
"It hurts!" Yan Qing held her head and looked at Lin Zhenxi aggrievedly, "Zhenxi, why did you hit me?"
"It's because you're causing trouble for others. Be normal. This isn't the place to discuss those things."
Yan Qing's ears drooped, and she lowered her head unwillingly and whispered, "Okay..."
After teaching Yan Qing a lesson, Lin Zhenxi turned to her elder sister and expressed her gratitude. "Sister, thank you for helping me. I will remember this kindness."
"Ahaha, this... is nothing. After all, you guys have helped Ah Xing and I a lot. And people of our generation are duty-bound to do good deeds, so there's no need to be so polite." The elder sister waved her hand and said with a dashing smile, "By the way, my name is Zhou Meili, just call me Meili. What about you guys?"
"Lin Zhenxi." "Yan Qing."
"How long have you been in this world?" Zhou Meili suddenly asked.
"?"x2
Seeing Lin Zhenxi and Yan Qing's surprised expressions, Zhou Meili seemed a little confused. She then asked, "Aren't you from another world?"
Yan Qing was a no-brainer; her ears and tail were the most distinctive features of an Outlander. The only person she wasn't sure about was Lin Zhenxi. But Outlanders tended to stick together, and anyone who hung out with a catgirl like Yan Qing was likely an Outlander, too.
"I am, Maki isn't, but she also works with aliens, so she's not an outsider. I just didn't realize you were one too, Meili. I can't tell. I've been here for ten years, how about you?"
"You're here so early. Ah Xing and I came together. It hasn't even been a year yet."
Together! Lin Zhenxi and Yan Qing instantly grasped this key word. Could this be another collective time travel incident?
But that shouldn't be the case. All foreigners in New Blue City need to undergo training at the "company" before they can integrate into the outside world, and the placement center is the first step in that training. It could be said that Yan Qing, who manages the placement center, is the kindergarten principal of the Foreigner Academy, responsible for establishing the initial student files for all foreigners.
Don't be fooled by Yan Qing's usual cheesy appearance, slacking off at work and being a streamer after get off work. She's actually quite a formidable character...
However, Yan Qing's personal terminal contained no information about Liu Angxing and Zhou Meili, suggesting they hadn't received any training from the "Company" and had seamlessly integrated into this world. This situation wasn't uncommon, but it was quite rare. After crossing over, even if they were human, the first challenges encountered by aliens were listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Those who could master a new language as quickly as Lin Zhenxi were few and far between, and this initial hurdle alone was enough to stump almost any alien.
However, there are exceptions. The historical trajectory of the alien world closely overlaps with the main world, with only a divergence occurring in relatively recent times, resulting in the same developmental trajectory for both language and writing. In other words, the alien world originates from a parallel world to the main world.
This situation is quite rare, but there are all kinds of things in the world. As long as it is possible, it will exist.
Lin Zhenxi was too lazy to catch those illegal immigrants who had traveled through time together, so she was more concerned about the issue of collective travel. "Sister Meili, are there only two of you who traveled through time together? Or are there others?"
If this was another group time travel, the company would probably have to ask Lin Zhenxi to create a Marauder's Map again. While it would be nice to earn Contribution Points so easily, Lin Zhenxi's schedule was already packed and she didn't want to create any more complications.
"It was just Ah Xing and I. We were watching the waterfall at Mount Lushan when a golden bridge suddenly appeared from the sky. By the time Ah Xing and I realized what was happening, we were already standing on the streets of New Blue City."
There are only two people, that's okay... Lin Zhenxi breathed a sigh of relief, but then she thought that there might be more than two of them going downstairs at Xinju?
"What about that uncle from last night? Isn't he from another world?"
"Mr. Yukihira? I don't know about that either. Mr. Yukihira challenged Ah Xing to a cooking challenge before. I heard him say it was called something like 'Informal Food Battle', and he lost in a very spectacular way." When Zhou Meili said this, she seemed to think of the wonderful expression on the face of the uncle named Yukihira when he admitted defeat, and she laughed with her hands covering her mouth.
After laughing, Zhou Meili continued, "After that, he pestered Ah Xing to be his apprentice. He learned cooking from Ah Xing during the day and worked as a street vendor at night to earn money. Later, we saved enough money, rented our current house together, and opened Xin Ju downstairs. Mr. Xingping also contributed a lot of money, so we agreed to serve Chinese food during the day and let Mr. Xingping run the Japanese cuisine, which he is more proficient in, at night."
“So that’s how it is…” No wonder the styles are different during the day and at night. It turns out that the restaurant is run by the apprentice at night.
As expected, gold always shines, and capable people can thrive anywhere. Housing prices in Xinlan City have always remained high, and continue to rise every year. Liu Angxing was able to save enough money to rent a restaurant in less than a year. Even though the location was a bit remote, this rate of profit was quite incredible.
But isn’t this a waste of talent?
Liu Angxing's culinary skills were more than enough to support a larger, more dazzling, more glorious, and more luxurious restaurant. As long as he could manage it, it would be hard not to make money. Especially after participating in the God of Cooking Challenge and gaining fame, he would surely soar to fame. The little Xinju coming downstairs was merely a brief stop in his career.
Lin Zhenxi suddenly realized that the gold he moved from the previous world had its place of use.
