Collapse: The World I Live In

"Noodle shop? Kevin, are you sure?" Everyone except Su looked at Kevin with strange eyes.

"That noodle shop is weird. It only sells Mapo Tofu Noodles... and the owner of that noodle shop used to be a priest..." Kevin was not embarrassed by the looks from everyone, or perhaps the cold expressions covered up Kevin's inner embarrassment.

"Father?" Yi touched his chin and said, "Then let's go to the noodle shop tomorrow morning to inquire, and then take the next action. Now go back and rest. The men will have a room and the girls will have a room."

The girls then left the room and went to their rooms.

"There's a hot spring here. Would you like to take a dip?" Hen suggested.

"I have no problem, how about you?" Yi nodded and said.

"No problem." Su, Kevin, Qianjie, and Kosmo answered at the same time, and the next scene turned to the hot spring~

……

"Why is there no one here?" Hen asked, seeing that there were only five of them taking a hot spring bath.

"I booked the whole place..." Yi said the most Versailles words in the calmest way. Yi looked at the eyes of everyone except Qianjie, and asked, "Any questions?"

"Where did you get so much money?" Hen couldn't help but ask. After all, the cost of this hotel was not low.

"Eden's card. I don't know how much money is in it~" Yi ignored everyone's gaze, put a hot towel on his eyes, and let out a comfortable moan, "Great~" I haven't been so relaxed for a long time, and I'll come and take a bath with Eden next time~

"Wow, it seems like you're really being kept by someone~" Hen said to Yi.

"Stop talking about me, let's talk about you guys~" Yi changed the subject, "Among the six people, four are fusion warriors. How do you feel about being a fusion warrior? Especially Kevin, with the temperature around you, you can actually take a hot spring bath?" After all, it was a good thing that the side effect of Kevin becoming a fusion warrior didn't freeze the entire hot spring into ice.

"...Before I came here, I took a medicine that Mei developed specifically for me, which can keep the temperature around me normal..." Kevin answered Yi's question.

"How have you been lately, Qianjie? I didn't expect you to take off the mask. It's incredible." Yi asked Qianjie, who had taken off the mask and was also applying a hot towel to his face.

"What can I do?" Qianjie said disdainfully.

"Your temper is still the same... I really don't know who can control you except Ying..." Yi said helplessly. Qianjie's temper has not changed.

Compared to the quietness on the boys' side, the girls' side was much more cheerful.

……

"No, Sister Ai Li~" Padora took out the bath towel wrapped around her body and tried to stop Ai Lishia from getting closer with one hand, but unfortunately she failed.

"Don't be shy~ We are all girls, let me touch~" Alicia approached Padu with a smirk on her face, "Hmm~ This feeling~ Hmm~"

"No... there... no... meow~" Alicia touched Pado's ear with one hand and Pado's tail with the other, making Pado couldn't help but cry out.

After playing with Padu, Alysia turned her attention to Ying who was soaking in the hot spring. She came to her side and asked, "Ying, do you have donkey ears or something? Can I touch them?"

"Alicia... these are fox ears... and I'm not Padua..." Sakura rejected Alicia's proposal.

"Then, Ying, why do you wear headphones when you take a hot spring bath?" Alicia asked, looking at the headphones on Ying's neck, "I don't think I've ever seen you wear them. Can it really make a sound? Or... is it just a cute decoration? Um... so when you wear headphones, you use those ears?"

"Alisa, we are different. I won't carry something with me just because it's cute." Sakura answered Alisa's question. As she spoke, Alisa slowly approached Sakura, tilted her head to one side, and leaned on her neck, with her elf-like ears resting on Sakura's collarbone.

"Alisa, you..." Sakura was frightened by Alisa's sudden action.

"Hmm~ I heard it, I heard it, there really is a sound... Hmm?" The more Alicia listened, the more she felt something was wrong. At first it was fine, but after five seconds, Alicia quickly stepped back and said in disbelief, "...It's actually this style of music... Sakura, no wonder you and Eden have nothing in common..."

"What's the problem?" Sakura sighed.

"Well... of course not... everyone has their own preferences..." Alicia waved her hand and said, then looked at Hua and Desdobia who were chatting next to her, and said to Ying, "I'm going to go find Hua and the others to play with first~" and quickly fled the battlefield where Ying was, and Ying also enjoyed this moment of peace...

"By the way, how long are you going to sit here..." Hen asked the five people who were only wrapped in towels in the sauna room. The temperature in the sauna room was already 48 degrees Celsius! And it was still rising. Everyone sat aside and didn't say anything. No one wanted to be the first to go out. Men's desire to win was often particularly prominent in some strange places.

"Yi, you're not a fusion warrior... do you want to continue?" When the temperature rose to 50c, Hen asked Yi.

"No problem... I'm fine." Yi supported his knees with his hands, lowered his head, and sweat dripped down like crazy.

"Okay... okay..." Hen stopped trying to persuade Yi and looked at Kosmo next to him, "Kosmo... you are still young... you can't bear such a high temperature..."

"Captain... I think I can still do well..." Kosmo's condition is much better than Yi's. After all, Kosmo has fused with the Judgment-level Honkai Beast Vishnu, so this temperature is no problem.

The truth is, Yi is in the worst condition among the six people. After all, he is the only one with an ordinary physical body among the six people, and cannot compare with these fusion warriors and Qianjie who is comparable to fusion warriors.

When the temperature finally reached 60 degrees Celsius, Yi couldn't stand it anymore and went out first. Damn it, I'll go find Mobius to do the fusion warrior surgery after this mission! Yi thought so...

……

"Is this the noodle shop you were talking about?" Yi asked Kevin while looking at the door of the noodle shop.

"Yes, judging by the decoration, the taste should be good." Kevin nodded and said. Then he led a large group of people into the noodle shop.

"Welcome." A pleasant voice sounded, and a man about 1.9 meters tall was seen preparing ingredients in the kitchen.

"Please prepare something for us, thank you." Kevin said.

"Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon." said the man.

Yi looked around and made sure that there was no one else around, then asked the man, "Boss...you were a priest before, right..."

"It happened a long time ago... Is there any problem?" The boss scooped up the cooked noodles without even looking at Yi.

"I just want to ask you something." Yi looked at the boss and said. He wanted to find out what was wrong with the boss through subtle movements, but unfortunately, he failed. The boss seemed to be really preparing food and didn't make any other movements.

"If you want to ask questions, you can...but..." The boss stopped what he was doing, looked at Yi, served the noodles at the same time and said, "As long as one of you can finish the bowl of noodles in front of you, it'll be fine." Looking at the red mapo tofu on the noodles, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"It's just a small matter, leave it to me. A mere bowl of noodles is no problem." Paduo patted her slightly sized chest and said, then she picked up the chopsticks and put the noodles into her mouth, and then... Paduo faced down and buried herself in the red mapo tofu.

"Hmph! Looks like someone has already failed." said the boss happily.

"Pado!" Desdobia, who was sitting next to her, shook Pado quickly, but found that Pado didn't move, so she turned her head to look at other people.

"It shouldn't be so exaggerated..." Hen also wanted to give it a try and sent the noodles into the air. Then... he poured them on the Mapo Tofu just like Paduo. Now everyone had to take the bowl of noodles in front of them seriously.

"Generally speaking... Mapo Tofu shouldn't be so spicy..." Su said, and then put the noodles into his mouth. But this time Su's actions were different from others. His eyes, which were originally closed, opened wide, and then he fell on the Mapo Tofu.

“What a bunch of losers! You still have to rely on me!” This time it was Qianjie’s turn. Unlike before, Qianjie took a big mouthful of noodles, and then… the same result. It seemed that Qianjie’s passion could not withstand the spiciness of the mapo tofu…

Afterwards, the beautiful and kind-hearted Alicia, the energetic Desdobia, the noodle-sucking prince Kevin, the cold-blooded killer Ying, and the melancholy boy Kosmo all fell on the Mapo Tofu one after another.

"How about it? Do you want to try again?" The boss's voice became more and more pleasant, and the corners of his mouth began to rise. Now there were only two people from Shenzhou left on the field.

Yi swallowed his saliva. All this was for intelligence. Yi also started to eat noodles. As soon as the noodles entered his mouth, the spiciness almost made Yi lose consciousness, but Yi still relied on his strong mental strength to get through it, but his whole face turned red. "

"Please use this..." The boss handed Yi a glass of water.

"Thank you..." Yi drank the water without thinking too much. Then, Yi felt that something was wrong with the water. He stared at the boss and said, "This is..."

"Mapo water..." The boss's pleasant voice sounded in Yi's ears, and then Yi lost consciousness and fell on the Mapo tofu.

"Then the last lady... do you want to try it?" The boss looked at Hua who was at the end and asked.

"Of course... I can't let my companions down... I... am not fighting alone!" Hua said firmly, and then began to slurp the noodles. In the boss's surprised eyes, Hua endured the pain of the chili and took one bite, two bites, three bites, and finally finished the noodles.

"Well done, ma'am. Do you have any questions?" the boss asked Hua who had finished eating.

"Ask... questions?" Hua stopped to catch her breath. She was stunned. She didn't know what questions to ask. Although she knew that the boss should be the priest of the church in the city center...but she didn't know what to ask. All the questions were from Yi!
