I'm speechless! You want me to drive a baby stroller on the highway to survive?

After placing Da Rui in the private room, Lu Youyou and Xiao Hei went downstairs to choose dishes.

Based on Da Rui's appetite, she first caught five small river shrimp and a small white fish, and then gave it a small piece of pork tenderloin.

This is all the food Da Rui eats.

Next, Lu Youyou started taking out the ingredients she wanted to eat.

Steak, potatoes, ribs, corn...

As for Xiao Hei…

It was overwhelmed by the sheer number of ingredients and couldn't make a choice right away.

"Xiao Hei, I'll go upstairs to cook first. You can come find me upstairs after you've made your choice."

"Wang Wang!"

Back upstairs, Lu Youyou put the ribs in a pot of cold water, then added scallions, ginger, and cooking wine.

The water was boiling vigorously within a second of the stove being turned on, and the scum was forced out.

Lu Youyou used a slotted spoon to scoop out the ribs and set them aside for later use.

After washing the pot clean, Lu Youyou started boiling water.

She found another clean pot and placed it on another stove.

Heat oil in a wok, add scallions and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the drained pork ribs.

"Fuck-"

Lu Youyou used the pot lid to block the splattering oil, stirred it a few times, and then added boiling water until it covered the ribs.

Finally, Lu Youyou added potatoes and corn to the pot.

The water boiled in just a few seconds.

With a poke of chopsticks, the ribs fall off the bone easily, and the potatoes break easily when picked up.

At this point, Lu Youyou quickly turned off the stove.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a cookware that cooks in seconds; it's incredibly fast.

After ladling out the corn and pork rib soup and setting it aside, Lu Youyou began marinating her steak.

It's still marinated in a second and fried in a few seconds.

In less than five minutes, the two dishes were ready.

She devoured the food, taking a bite of meat and a sip of soup, savoring every bite!

After eating two steaks and drinking two bowls of soup, Lu Youyou's stomach finally felt less hungry.

Why hasn't Xiao Hei come up yet?

"We've been looking for a while now," Lu Youyou thought, preparing to go downstairs to search.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Little Black carrying a large chunk of beef in his mouth, and... a chicken-headed, human-bodied monster covered in hair.

"Hello, I'm the customer next door. What kind of food do you make? May I try some?"

Lu Youyou didn't want to get into a conflict with the monsters here, so she nodded.

“But I’ve already eaten the food,” she reminded her.

"It does not matter, I do not mind."

As he spoke, the chicken monster walked toward the table on its own.

He leisurely ladled himself a bowl of pork rib soup and used a knife and fork to cut himself small, evenly sized pieces of steak.

Then stuff it into your mouth in big gulps.

Lu Youyou's lips twitched as she looked at it; she had thought it was some exquisite little chick monster.

"Hey~"

Little Black was so anxious it kept barking.

"Um, can I get a steak for Xiao Hei?" Lu Youyou asked.

The chicken monster continued eating, mumbling, "Of course, you made this anyway."

Since the chicken monster wasn't angry, Lu Youyou ladled a bowl of soup for Xiao Hei and took two pieces of steak, placing them on a large plate.

Little Black ate without even looking up.

Lu Youyou picked up the large piece of beef that Xiao Hei had brought her, and weighed it in her hand; it was at least three pounds.

She sliced ​​the beef into thin pieces and then went downstairs to get two onions.

She plans to make stir-fried beef with onions.

The strong aroma of onions filled the air, and the chicken monster stared at the freshly cooked dish, swallowing hard.

Lu Youyou took half a bowl for herself and gave the rest to Xiao Hei and the Chicken Monster.

Xiao Hei ate at least two pounds of food, so much so that his belly bulged out.

If its legs weren't long enough, Lu Youyou had no doubt that its belly would drag on the ground.

“Ding-dang.”

There was a knock on the door of the private room.

Lu Youyou opened the door and saw a group of monsters with distinct animal features lining up outside.

"Your cooking smells so good! Can we come and eat? How about I give each of us a gold coin?"

"Of course, please come in."

Lu Youyou's face was practically beaming with joy.

She collected a total of 13 gold coins, which not only covered her meal expenses but also earned her an extra 11 gold coins.

Having accepted money from these monsters, you must now treat them well.

"Is there anything you'd like to eat?" she asked.

One of the minotaurs replied, "Do whatever you want. There are so many of us, we certainly won't let you waste any."

So, Lu Youyou made whatever she wanted to eat.

French fries, spicy crayfish, grilled fish, beef skewers, grilled chicken wings...

She only ate a little of each thing, and after eating so many different kinds, her belly became round and full.

The monsters, on the other hand, had eaten their fill, their hands and faces covered in grease.

Lu Youyou looked up at her watch and saw that there was only one minute left in the hour since she entered.

She scooped up Da Rui and ran, with Xiao Hei following behind, also running wildly.

I finally made it out of the cafeteria just before time was up.

Suddenly, a black-robed monster appeared in front of her, circling around her and sniffing.

Lu Youyou remained motionless, letting the monster do as it pleased.

Lu Youyou recognized it from its appearance.

It is the monster merchant and will not attack players unless provoked.

So smell it if you want.

"What did you eat?"

After smelling for a while, the monster merchant asked this question.

"She ate spicy crayfish, grilled fish, grilled chicken wings, French fries, and a lot more, but I don't remember the names," the fish-headed monster who came out answered for Lu Youyou.

Lu Youyou nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's what I ate."

The monster merchant commanded forcefully, "You fed them? Then make me a portion too."

Lu Youyou pointed to her watch: "But my hour is up, and I'll have to pay to go in again."

"I'll pay for it for you," the monster merchant said generously.

嗏

The sheep monster was unwilling.

"Envoy, human players are not allowed to enter twice in a row on the same day."

"What if I insist on bringing human players in?"

The goat monster gasped angrily, trembling with rage.

It took a deep breath and smiled: "Messenger, if you insist on taking her in, you'll have to pay for her."

Swish!

The monster merchant tossed a money bag out of his pocket, which jingled and rattled, indicating that it contained a considerable amount of money.

The sheep monster was delighted and opened the door for the two of them himself.

"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you," Lu Youyou asked.

“You make whatever those lowly monsters eat. As a monster merchant, I am not more ignorant than them.”

Lu Youyou: ……

"But if we can't finish the food, it will be a waste. I cooked the meal, so will I be punished?"

"Impossible. I am above all the monsters in the self-service kitchen. No one dares to blame you."

With the monster merchant's words reassured Lu Youyou, she felt relieved.

She cooked the same dishes she had cooked before for the monster merchant.

Suddenly, the watch vibrated.

Unlike the previous tremors, this one was accompanied by a slight pain.

It's like the watch is leaking electricity.

He raised his arm and looked.

Congratulations on unlocking the "Monster Affinity" hidden module.

An app called "Affinity" appeared on the watch screen.

Upon clicking in, it was discovered that only one monster had a favorable impression of her.
