Chapter 315: Starmack
On a rainy night, the arrival of an uninvited guest fills the small camp with an eerie atmosphere.
Qingyi's trip should be absolutely confidential, and the car has been specially selected to go on a remote forest path, just to avoid being seen through. Once you meet someone on the way, not to mention that the other party will be killed immediately, compulsory detention is also indispensable. It's just that if the person you meet is a hero, or even just a life professional, it's a different story. The memory flashback of this stranger who appeared mysteriously was exempt from the innocent moan, and it was also confirmed that Xue Duo and the innocent moaning was a hero, so Qingyi had to think carefully about how to deal with it.
The disease-free moaning 'moaned' casually cast a magic spell to 'dry' the stranger's clothes in an instant. The other party 'touched' a few handfuls of clothes in surprise: "You are a magician? Oh my god, you're amazing! β
"Small~~~ just means!" Disease-free moaning and waving his hand. His sitting posture has adjusted slightly, and he is no longer as lazy as he had been at first.
"Thank you so much! I never thought I'd meet a good Samaritan in the wild! I have a bottle of good wine bought from the Northland, it is very strong, would you like to try it? "The man 'pulled' a cowhide wine bag from his waist and shook it vigorously, and there was a gurgling sound from it. He smiled: "I'm sorry I made a mistake, there is only half a bottle left!" If you want to blame it, blame it for being so delicious! β
"Thanks, I don't like to drink." Qingyi replied.
"I don't want it either." The disease-free moaned and looked at the wine bag in disgust. How could he, who had always had a habit of cleanliness, use the same drinking vessel as others?
"Then I don't know what to give in return. I don't think a few of you are scarce about my money, hehe. The man scratched his hair, a little embarrassed.
Qingyi smiled: "We just helped you casually, and we don't need you to reciprocate." However, we still have some ingredients in the car, if you don't mind, can you cook them for us? Because I have a habit of eating supper. β
"Oh, you're asking the right question!" The man rolled up his sleeves, pulled the package behind him in front of him, and opened it to see that there was a cutting board, a kitchen knife, a pot, a soup spoon, and all kinds of seasonings. Only a chef would carry such a package. He took a branch and flicked the bonfire, got up and ran away: "This fire is not strong enough, I'll go and collect some firewood." You guys get the ingredients out first! β
While the man left, Qingyi stared at the pile of shiny kitchen utensils: "Is it really a chef?" β
"Otherwise, what do you ~~~ think it is? The first time you saw Ying~~~ male life professionals? In their long-term work, they have also ~~~ begun to come into contact with the law, so they are not lacking in combat effectiveness, so it is not surprising that ~~~ you admit your mistakes. β
The 'waiters' took the ingredients out of the car, but in fact, they were just "dusk lunch 'meat'" and "dusk blending oil", and nothing else.
"I've seen heroic life professionals, but they don't give me the same feeling." Qingyi remembered the dragon merchant Shi Rode? Bray, but the chef seems to be more threatening than Schroeder. "This chef is completely unafraid of the murderous aura of the 'squire', maybe he has killed someone."
"Maybe he used to be a fighting ~~~ fighting professional? It's the privilege of NPCs to change classes without loss.,It's not ~~~ anything surprising.γ β
"Replace it......" Qingyi thought thoughtfully.
In order to ensure the fun of the game, in addition to allowing players to change races, they can also change their professions, but the old skills will not be retained, and the proficiency of the new skills is all 0, and players have to 'spend' a lot of time, 'fine' effort and money if they want to be at the same level as before changing careers. Therefore, only newcomers who don't know how to play will be replaced randomly, and the real old birds will start from the beginning. However, after the NPC is replaced, the skill list will evolve synchronously, and the proficiency of a skill will only decrease a little after it becomes a new skill, which will not have a great impact on the overall strength. As a result, it is not uncommon for players to see NPC warriors drop their swords and become blacksmiths.
Soon, the man came back with a large pile of dry firewood. He first gathered the fire to make it more concentrated, then took a few sticks to make a simple and sturdy rack, hoisted the iron pot, and began to boil water. He laid out the lunch 'meat' on the cutting board, and in a flash of the knife, he cut it all up, and there were a bunch of evenly sized 'meat' strips on the cutting board.
Sword 'fine' through? Perfect knife work.
He took some ferns and fungi out of his pocket, cut them into small pieces, and explained: "These wild vegetables are the most tender in the 'spring' days, and with a little treatment, the taste is very good!" One of them can also be used as a spice, and the aroma goes well with the pork 'meat'! But this is a practice that only exists in the countryside, hehe, you can't eat it if you want to eat it in the city. β
"I'm looking forward to it." Qingyi smiled. "Haven't asked your name yet?"
"My name is Starmack, you can call me Mike." The man scraped his nose with his oil-stained thumb, picked up the wine bag and took another big sip, laughing: "It's delicious!" The whole person is warm! As he spoke, he poured the wine into the pot as well.
"Oh! I'm strong~~~ I will never drink it! The great god said in a low voice
"Listen to the accent, are you from Sarah 'Monroe'?" Qingyi asked.
Starmac was surprised: "I've lived in Sarah Menlo before, maybe with an accent!" A lot of people think I'm from Astant, how do you know that? Oh yes, you're also from Sarah'Monroe, of course you can hear it! β
"No, I'm from the Twilight Empire."
Annigill was a little unsure. Isn't this trip meant to be low-key? Why does Dad always take the initiative to 'expose' his information to strangers?
At this time, the water boiled, and Starmack put the ingredients into the pot in order, poured in the blended oil, stirred a few times, and then covered the pot: "Then just sit and wait!" Because it is not fresh 'meat', it has to be simmered, otherwise the taste will not be good. β
"It's fragrant!" Qingyi didn't tell a lie, and the rich aroma kept coming out from under the lid of the pot, filling the entire small camp. Just smelling this scent will whet the appetite of gourmets.
"Anyway, I'm strong~~~ and never drink it!" The great god repeated
"Mike, where are you going in a hurry? Maybe we're on the same path. "Qingyi has a trick up and down, he's not a stupid person who only knows how to leak information.
"I didn't want to go anywhere, so I just wandered around."
"Really? I thought you were running a restaurant in a certain city. β
Starmack smiled and shook his head: "First, I don't have any money, and second, I can't stay in one place for long. β
"Do you think you're a 'chant'~~~ wanderer! So how do you make a living? β
Starmack took another sip of wine, his face flushed: "Hey, what's this!" It's easy to set up a snack stall on the street, earn a little money and set off to the next city! According to me, a man with the ability will not starve to death wherever he goes! β
"That's true...... Qingyi asked with a smile: "I lack a chef at home, I don't know if you are willing to follow me?" β
The other party was a little drunk and grinned: "Follow you?" Is it to go to the Twilight Empire? I've heard that it's inhabited by necromantic creatures, do they need cooks? β
Qingyi nodded: "To be exact, to go to Snow City." How about you open the largest tavern in the country? β
"I'm an unknown guy, and you're going to recruit me casually?"
"Because you're a man of ability." Qingyi replied in the other party's words.
Starmac laughed and shook his head, "Let me think about it again." β
Sure enough, hero-level NPCs are still 'very' difficult to recruit, and it's not okay to offer such conditions? Could it be that you are too aggressive? Qingyi smiled, a little disappointed in his heart.
Starmac lifted the lid of the pot, scooped some with a spoon and tasted it, and served the soup to everyone. He handed the first bowl of soup to Qing Yi and blinked his left eye: "Even if you want to hire me, you have to taste my craftsmanship first, right, Your Majesty June Sunshine?" β
Qingyi took the soup bowl and thought: Sure enough, he was still recognized.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Today is Monday.
Qingyi came to the company for a turn and went home. The operator and the courier have their own team leaders, and it is no longer his turn to 'worry', he can be said to have nothing to do. It would be even more perfect if there was an advertising department, an online department, and other 'departments' as expected.
The forum's headlines today were the Empire of Twilight's condemnation of Bigbowau's arms sales to the island. For well-known reasons, the Ulcer Island and the Twilight Empire are in a temporary state of division, but this does not change the fact that the LΓΌr Island is an integral part of the Twilight Empire. There is only one Twilight Empire in the world, and the Ulceration Island is an integral part of the Twilight Empire. This is the consensus of necromantic creatures at home and abroad, and it is also recognized by the vast majority of countries in the Qiankun world and the mainland. By selling arms to the Ulcer Island, Bigbowo is actually grossly interfering in the internal affairs of the Dusk Empire, seriously hurting the feelings of the people of the Dusk Empire, and is not conducive to the in-depth cooperation between the two countries.
"Someday I'm going to make you look good......"
Qingyi grunted online, and his eyes were full of greenery. Washed by the rain, the woods are renewed.
Five meters in front of him, Starmack held up a spoon in greeting: "Hey, Your Majesty June Sunshine!" Good morning! β
"Breakfast is still ~~~ not good?" There was no illness on the side, moaning, pulling the back of the chair and shouting. Last night, he couldn't resist the 'temptation' and 'confusion', drank the soup made by Starmack, and then completely threw the matter of "his own cleanliness" out of the clouds. It can change the living habits of the great gods, and the power of the hero can be seen.
Next, Starmack and Qingyi will travel all the way west, and they will be separated when they reach Astant. Both sides are very satisfied with this plan, Qingyi's side of course does not want to leak the news, and Starmack seems to have some hidden feelings, and he can't take the big road in a grand manner. Of course, before parting, Qingyi made up his mind to work hard again and recruit heroic chefs to his command.
"Oh! There was actually a situation when I was eating~~~! Damn it! β
When everyone sat around the pot and drank the soup, they jumped up without a sick moan. Qingyi subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?" β
"There is an iron ~~~ hoof knight on the side of the counterfeit car! I've got to get there! β
