"How's it going? Does it taste good?"
The silver-white hair was tied neatly by hairpins. The ordinary and ordinary purple dress was a gift from his "mother", and the simplest material was treated with fireproofing.
But because of her slender and beautiful body shape and perfect standard limbs, she looks like a gorgeous dress.
The newborn opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Ping An, expecting to get a positive answer.
Lu Pingan rubbed his eyebrows, put down the album in his hand, frowned, lowered his head and took a sip of the extremely dark coffee.
"...Huh? Not bad."
"real?"
Zhixi showed a happy smile. This was a time when she rarely showed emotions these days.
At the same time, she stretched out her hand and showed expectant eyes.
Lu Pingan sighed helplessly, took the cold hand with one hand, and continued to taste the bitter and expensive coffee.
".....life sharing."
With the use of his special ability, Zhixi frowned instantly, stuck out his tongue, as if to vent the strange taste in his mouth, and glared at Lu Ping'an.
".....Lied to me?"
"No, this is the taste of coffee. If you are not used to it, you will adapt and learn to taste it after drinking too much. And what I said is not bad, it is true, it is much stronger than the previous ones... .”
Can it not be strong? The simple operation of brewing coffee can produce only coffee powder, no milk, no sugar, only large coffee grounds. Those homemade dishes, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, almost sent Lu Pingping away.
"I'll try again!"
At this time, Zhixi, who was excited to try again, acted like a three-day-old child for the first time.
How did she become obsessed with cooking? Lu Ping'an doesn't know either.
But when she was reading a book, when she saw the description of delicious food, she ran over and asked Lu Ping'an what it felt like.
Talking about the taste of food to a person without a digestive system? Lu Ping'an doesn't have that ability yet, but he has that ability.
"Life Resonance" is a professional characteristic of the Living Weapon Specialization, which allows you to share your senses with your "Living Weapon".
The source of this supernatural ability derived from martial arts is his gardener's professional skill "Spiritual Perception lv1" and his professional ability "Listen to Life".
Later, after receiving "life sharing" from Guan Xinxian for free, his ability further mutated.
[Black Iron Level Spell Life Sharing: Sharing senses with the target plant, including but not limited to pain, touch, smell, etc. 】
Lu Ping'an's integrated "life resonance" can already share most of the perceptions with his own living weapons, and he can really use the other party's limbs as his own.
Now, it has become a bridge to share "delicious food".
Zhixi, who tasted the first cake in her life, instantly became uncontrollable. Not only did she buy various delicacies for Lu Pingan to taste and share, she even became obsessed with cooking herself, and then poisoned Lu Pingan... .. Yes, he was poisoned. Lu Ping'an was getting his karma these days. Various "completely unprocessed original dishes" and "over-processed metal products" even made him use accelerated self-healing to save his life.
"The only thing more deadly than a chef who doesn't read the recipe at all is a chef who can't eat the food he cooks."
Lu Pingan realized that it was not that she lacked the ability to cook dishes honestly, but that she was pursuing the ultimate "taste experience".
However, Lu Ping'an was the one who suffered... But it was not all without benefits. His all-weapon specialization had inexplicably increased a lot in the past two days, and even his "life resonance" felt improved. .
But this operation of serving deadly dishes with a smile made Lu Ping'an feel inexplicably familiar, and at the same time he felt increasingly tired.
"...It won't work like this. I can't feel the touch of chewing myself. It's still a little bit worse. I'll help you get some possessed bodies. At least it can be used as a shield...I said, just treat it as a test of your ability. That’s fine…”
Zhixi's "body seizing" ability might be able to give her the taste her body deserves.
But the result is subtle. It can be said that it was successful. The new body (the monster brought from the secret realm) can indeed become her carrier, but there is always a layer between her.
The sense of taste and touch are still there, but they are like scratching an itch, a bit fake and wooden.
It was as if she was born without this sensory organ. It was just the external touch of a phantom limb, or, more like controlling a puppet, and the feedback was just the operating feel.
Perhaps this was a congenital defect of her soul. As a "mechanical life form", she did not have the function of taste from the beginning. She only had the senses "shared" like Lu Ping'an, which made her even more "falsely real".
"It was a little lighter last time. Well, this time, let's add more chili..."
As he said that, a whole small box of chili powder was thrown into the pot. Lu Ping'an looked at his scalp and felt numb. He didn't want to see clearly which dish was directly added to the box of chili powder.
But he didn't dare to lie... He ran away last time, and when he came back, Zhixi gave her a "Man-Han Banquet".
"...I'll keep an eye on it. At least I won't put inedible ingredients." At this moment, Lu Ping'an thought of Captain Xia who had food poisoning again, and the story of "the natural cycle of retribution" echoed in his mind.
The only thing to be thankful for is that her life skill "cooking skills" are growing at a strange speed even while she is messing around repeatedly... This shows that even in the messy cooking, she has also learned the methods of normal cooking. It's just that the food tastes too bland.
In fact, she has made up her mind to work as a chef... Lucky for Lu Ping'an, he likes to pick up a tool man again, but it's really hard to say who is whose tool man.
It's just that she may be born with a tasteless tongue, so she especially likes heavy flavors, and the taste is more inhuman.
Lu Pingan sighed helplessly. No matter what, since they can communicate, they get along well.
Zhixi, who was born as a weapon, seems to be a little crooked. At least for now, she is not interested in fighting and killing. On the contrary, she is very interested in cooking skills that she cannot use.
Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that she has not been on the battlefield so far.
In the past two days, she spent a lot of time reading books, making up lessons, and making up for extra episodes. The things she read ranged from "One Hundred Thousand Whys (Children's Version)" to "XX Tian Wu (Magical Girl Live Version)" , then to "workplace infighting drama" and "historical war drama"...and now back to Big Cat's favorite "I love you, you love him, he loves him romantic drama".
If this is an individual's normal experience and taste growth, Lu Ping'an always feels that something is wrong.
But when I saw Da Mao who was engrossed in watching the drama, and Fang Wen who was watching silently with a small bench, it seemed like nothing was wrong.
Perhaps, after getting used to the complexity and reality, I like some simple fairy tales instead.
Perhaps, after being forced to give up everything, there is reason to return to the daily routine that was despised in the past and waste time in peace and contentment?
Lu Ping'an and Zhixi have also reached a preliminary intention to cooperate, but the labor contract seems not to have been finalized yet, because Zhixi doesn't know what he desires most now.
"If possible, I hope to follow you and observe the real world through your eyes and your perspective, the Creator."
Of course Lu Ping An would not refuse such a wish.
During the actual combat test, the two people only "fitted" briefly several times. After confirming that everything seemed to be fine, they waited patiently for this weekend's martial arts course.
The path pointed out by the instructor has become a reality and is in urgent need of further verification and guidance.
It's just that the instructor never expected that Lu Ping'an would complete the originally expected four-year plan in half a month, but...
"...Forget it, let me teach you. After all, they are all from the Gucheng University chef class (they were kicked out)..."
Looking at the mechanical girl who showed a rare expression of excitement, Lu Pingan sighed helplessly and got up to help.
"Hey, hey, hey, this thing is going to go into my stomach. I can give you chili peppers, but what the hell is this that spontaneously ignites on the table? What did you add? Fuel?"
"Sugar? This is salt, don't play such old tricks. Even if you look like 'I don't have the sense of taste and can't tell the difference', it won't work. Although it is indeed cute, it is useless. I know you can analyze it... . Hey, hey, don’t be so shameless, do you really want to poison me to death?"
"If you want me to eat, just follow my instructions... Wait, you don't have any kitchen utensils. How do you cut vegetables? With your hands? With an ax? My ax?! This is Pollutants?!”
This is probably the scariest Hell's Kitchen. In order to correct the "fatal operation" of the mechanical girl, Lu Ping'an did his best.
However, it is rare that in the eyes of others, he also smiles very happily.
