Chapter 6 Compensation
After assigning the task reward to the Dead Wood Demon Queen, Xia Bing heard the system prompt again.

[Mission: Popular Chef]

[Mission introduction: The fragrance of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley, and without the players and the dead wood demon actively promoting it, a total of 1 popularity points have been obtained. 】

[Task Reward: Special Energy Cube Formula]

"What did you do to me? Why did something extra appear in my mind just now?" Xia Bing had just finished reading the mission introduction, and the panicked voice of the Rotten Wood Demon came out of Xia Bing's mind the next second.

"Hmm... One of my abilities can directly transmit memories to your mind." Xia Bing said nonsense.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, you don't even have a kitchen utensils now, so hurry up and get some back."

Currently there is a kitchen (albeit rudimentary).

There is also a source of fire (it took a lot of effort to learn the will-o'-the-wisp, but fortunately Xia Bing learned it directly after using it.)
Now there are only ingredients and kitchen utensils left.

The game time is eight hours in total. Xia Bing looked at the system menu and found that seven and a half hours had passed, and there was only half an hour left before the game time.

The Deadwood Demon must have no way to get kitchen utensils, so he can only come by himself.

"Where are we going?"

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to his dream, Kuanmu Yao didn't care about Xia Bing forcibly occupying his body anymore.

"let me see……"

With systematic rewards, Deadwood Demon's cooking skills should be no problem, what is needed now is perfect kitchen utensils.

Common kitchen utensils in ordinary people's homes are pots, kitchen knives, and chopping boards.

In this case, the only way to get it is to go to a hotel or restaurant to steal...

No, the thing about ghost-type Pokémon can't be called stealing, it's obviously borrowing.

"There happens to be a hotel nearby, and the staff have already left work. It shouldn't be a problem to 'borrow' some tableware in the past."

The current location is located at the edge of the water lotus forest, and there is a hotel called 'New Era' outside the forest.

Because a large number of trainers will choose to enter the forest to capture Pokémon, the business of the New Era Hotel is extremely booming.

Controlling his body, he slowly moved towards the New Era Hotel.

Just as Xia Bing guessed, the hotel staff had already left work, Xia Bing went straight through the hotel gate with a blurred body.

The gates of the hotel are generally automatic sensor gates, in order to facilitate the living guests to come and go freely at night.

After searching for a long time, Xia Bing successfully arrived at the warehouse where the kitchen utensils were placed.

"Then just move back the things you need." Xia Bing ordered.

After speaking, a system prompt popped up in front of him.

[The eight-hour game time has ended. 】

[Start to exit the game. 】

[The archive is being saved...]

His eyes went dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the bedroom.

"I forgot to tell the Rotten Wood Demon to collect ingredients, but it shouldn't be that stupid, right?" Xia Bing muttered worriedly, and Xia Bing got up to wash up, only to see Xia Xue who was washing clothes.

"Brother, do you want to go to the toilet? Wait a minute, I'll wash it soon." Xia Xue looked up.

Xia Bing looked at Xia Xue who looked like this and couldn't help but blush.

I'm sorry Xiaoxue, I promise I won't scare you again next time.

"Ahem...it's okay, I'll come out for a drink." Maybe because of the guilt in his heart, Xia Bing was afraid to look at Xia Xue for a moment.

After taking a sip of water, Xia Bing returned to the room, turned on the light, sat on the bed and stretched out his palm.

"Ghost fire."

With a soft murmur, a dark blue fireball formed out of thin air on the palm of his hand.

"How is it possible!" I planned to laugh at myself, but I didn't expect to use will-o'-the-wisp directly.

Before that, Xia Bing could confirm that he was a pure human being, but now he had to doubt it.

Just about to continue thinking, Xia Bing's thoughts were interrupted by the system's notification sound in the next second.

[The system is deeply sorry for the bugs you encountered. 】

[You can choose one of the compensations below. 】

[1. Mark field +1]

[2. Attribute retrieval times +1]

[3. Money 1 yuan]

1 yuan of spirit coins is quite a lot, but the money can be earned by working part-time, and other props will be lost if you miss it, so this option is ruled out first.

The mark field is one more field that can be saved. The number of attribute searches should be a function to filter the body, but the current field is already full, and it is useless to select another body.

Crush the flame in your hand, stretch out your hand, and tap lightly on option one.

A vacancy immediately appeared in his exchange column.

"Brother, I've finished washing." Xia Xue's shout came from outside the house, and Xia Bing quickly responded.

"Understood, here we come."

................................................

On the other morning, Xia Bing got up early and finished washing.

The parents were still the same, they went to work early in the morning, and the girl Xia Xue was lying on the sofa with her mobile phone in her hands after breakfast to watch the drama.

"Xiaoxue, I'm going out for a while, do you want to go together?" Xia Bing thought about it, and asked Xia Xue.

Xia Xue just wanted to refuse, but when she thought about yesterday's situation, she didn't dare to stay at home alone, so she had no choice but to agree: "Okay."

Xia Bing left 5000 yuan from the money her parents had given her to use for her upbringing, and returned the rest of the money.

It looks like I still need to find a job in the next time.

"Xiaoxue, why did you get up to wash clothes in the middle of the night yesterday?" Xia Bing asked jokingly on the road.

When Xia Xue heard this, she could only falter and think of an excuse: "I... I just felt too hot, and then I got up and took a shower, you know, it's not good to leave clothes for a long time after taking a shower, so I just washed."

"Hey, but you still seem to have a smell on your body, maybe you haven't washed it off?"

Xia Xue's face turned pale in a flash, and she quickly smelled it a few times on her body, only to realize that she had been tricked after she found that there was no smell.

"Damn it, brother, you lied to me! I won't talk to you anymore!"

Xia Xue's cheeks puffed up, she looked like an angry little hamster.

Xia Bing also hurriedly put his hands together to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, how about it, I'll take you to a good place, and I promise to make you happy."

Hearing what Xia Bing said, Xia Xue felt a little bit of interest.

The two came to the edge of the water lotus forest by car, and Xia Bing brought Xia Xue to a wooden house according to his memory.

"The Deadwood Demon Restaurant." Xia Xue couldn't help but twitched her lips when she saw the name.

"What's wrong?" Xia Bing asked in a 'perplexed' manner.

"It's okay, let's go in quickly."

Saying that, Xia Xue opened the door first and entered the wooden house.

Xia Bing looked up at the house number, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "It's quite amazing, you actually made a house number yourself."

"Ahhhhh! It's you!"

Just after boasting, Xia Bing heard Xia Xue's yell in the next second.

Although it had been predicted in advance, Xia Xue's mood swings were unexpected.

After pushing open the door, Xia Bing saw the innocent-looking Rotten Wood Demon and the surprised Xia Xue.

"What's the matter? Xiaoxue, do you know this Rotten Wood Demon?" Xia Bing asked Xia Xue in a 'suspicious' way.

Xia Xue gritted her teeth, and finally chose the latter between revenge and dignity: "No, I admitted my mistake."

The Deadwood Demon had an innocent look on his face.

It also recognized that the girl in front of her was the one who was frightened... to death yesterday.

Although it's not a big deal to be glared at by the other party with angry eyes, but the problem is that it is not it that scares the other party at all!
Not to mention that I cannot communicate with the other party in words, but if my body is controlled, no one will believe it.

Helpless, the dead wood demon is a dead end.

On the other hand, the culprit at the side secretly smiled in his heart.

"Boss, since this is a restaurant, what can you eat?" Xia Bing comforted Xia Xue, and then asked the Deadwood Demon while sitting on a chair with the latter.

"call out."

The dead wood demon handed over a wooden menu.

After Xia Bing took it, he looked it up curiously, and found that although there were no pictures on the menu, the names of the dishes written in Chinese were very clear.

"Did you do this yourself?" Xia Xue felt a little incredulous.

It was the first time she saw that the Deadwood Demon could make menus, and it seemed that the other party was planning to cook himself.

The items in the wooden house are very complete.

Pots and pans, everything is very complete, but Xia Xue still wants to know what the Deadwood Demon will use to light the fire.

The Deadwood Demon is a ghost-type Pokémon with the grass attribute. It is well known that everyone is afraid of fire, so Xia Xue is very curious about the Deadwood Demon's cooking.

"call out."

"Then let's have a piece of fried pork first." Xia Bing casually ordered a dish he liked.

He wanted to see how effective the cooking mastery rewarded by the system was.

Farmhouse Fried Pork is a common characteristic traditional dish in Hunan Province. It belongs to Hunan cuisine. The residents of Shuilian City don't particularly like spicy food, but Xia Bing and Xia Xue, two brothers and sisters, do not like spicy food.

The Dead Wood Demon didn't answer, but took out a piece of pork belly and some green peppers from the cabinet under him.

Putting the green peppers on the chopping board, the Dead Wood Demon took a deep breath, and tapped it a few times with the back of the kitchen knife.

Then it was cut obliquely, the blade rubbing against the cutting board dangerously, only cutting the green pepper but not actually falling on the cutting board, just like cutting on the air, effortless but light and fast.

"What a fast knife." Xia Bing praised.

Judging from this knife, the dead wood demon's knife skills seem to be good, does the system rewards cooking proficiency also include knife skills?
Immediately afterwards, the Dead Wood Demon began to process the pork belly.

Separate the fat from the lean pork belly, and marinate the slices with salt, pepper, light soy sauce, and starch.

Taking out an iron pot, the Rotten Wood Demon touched the bottom of the iron pot with his palm, and a faint blue flame appeared out of thin air.

"Woman's fire, does the rotten wood demon use ghost's fire to cook?"

Xia Xue's eyes widened, afraid that she might miss the details.

"boom!"

With a thought, the rotten wood demon increased the fire, and at the same time threw the chopped green peppers into the pot and fried them.

The whole room is filled with the spicy smell of strong green pepper.

Take out the green peppers and slide the marinated fat meat directly into the hot pot where the peppers have been fried, turn the heat down, and slowly burst the lard out.

Wait until the color of the soy sauce gradually darkens and the fat is reduced and the fat is fried.

With a movement of the Rotten Wood Demon's wrist, the sliced ​​garlic and ginger were put into the pot, and at the same time, the flame increased again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In almost less than two seconds, the aroma of ginger and garlic has burst out.

At this time, the prepared lean meat was placed in the pot. Almost at the same time, a flame rose from the pot. The high-temperature oil came into contact with the seasoning added when the lean meat was marinated and the moisture in the meat itself. Light the wok.

But there was no fear on the face of the Rotten Wood Demon, as if he had completely controlled the flame.

"Ahem... so spicy!" Both Xia Bing and Xia Xue choked on the spicy taste.

After a while, a fresh farmhouse stir-fried pork came out of the pan.
