I’m No Longer Human After Being Blacklisted

Chapter 28

Lin Jiu took out two round-bellied wine jugs, filled each with fruit wine, and handed each of them a wine glass.

The wine that was poured out was light red, clear in color, very beautiful, with faint floral and fruity aromas wafting out. Si Xu took a small sip and found that it had a light floral aroma, sweet fruity flavor, and a mild taste, which was very suitable for ladies to drink.

Si Xu swallowed the fruit wine, but the fragrance of flowers and fruits still lingered on the tip of his tongue, and even his breath was fragrant.

Si Xu felt warm in his stomach, and the warmth spread to his limbs and bones. All the cells in his body seemed to be activated and he felt very comfortable.

"You are the one who really exudes fragrance, right?" Jiang Ge smiled and drank the rest of the fruit wine. "You can tell at a glance that this is a wine for girls to drink. A man can't smell this good."

The main ingredient of this fruit wine is red tangerine, and it is paired with some other fruits. I didn’t expect it to taste so delicious.

Lin Jiu poured them another glass of anthocyanin fruit wine. The wine was light green in color, elegant in color, and had a rich aroma.

Jiang Ge drank the whole glass of wine in one gulp, and then everyone saw his expression changing from time to time, not knowing whether the wine tasted good or bad.

Jiang Ge swallowed the wine with great effort and said one word, "Great!"

Jiang Ge gave Lin Jiu a thumbs up and said, "This is the wine a man should drink!"

The man also took a sip, wanting to see what kind of wine could be called "wine for men".

Lin Jiu took a small sip and frowned. The spicy taste exploded on the tip of his tongue, with a hint of bitterness, and then sourness. It was followed by sweetness, with many layers and a complex taste. Lin Jiu didn't know whether it tasted good or bad.

He swallowed it with difficulty and looked at Si Xu and Ji Anchen. He saw that they were savoring the taste carefully, as if they couldn't feel the stimulating flavor.

"How is it? Do you feel that after drinking a glass of wine, you have tasted a period of life?" Jiang Ge stared at them all, hoping to be recognized.

Ji Anchen nodded, "It's a very special wine, delicious."

Lin Jiu: “…”

Si Xu: "It's really delicious. I've never tasted wine like this before."

Lin Jiu: “…”

Don't force yourself. If it doesn't taste good, you can just say it directly, really.

Lin Jiu didn't know how Si Xu felt at the moment. Huaqing fruit wine was stronger than Huahong fruit wine, not only in taste, but also in physical effect. After drinking a glass of Huaqing fruit wine, Si Xu was already sweating and felt a little hot, hot from the inside out.

Jiang Ge was a fool. He didn't notice anything. He took off his coat when he felt hot and continued to play.

In the end, most people choose to drink anthocyanin fruit wine, not because it tastes really good, but because they don’t want the aroma.

The alcohol content of Huaqing fruit wine is relatively high, while the alcohol content of Huahong fruit wine is relatively low. Compared with the violent and complex Huaqing fruit wine, Lin Jiu prefers the mild and light Huahong fruit wine, so they each had a pot of wine, and Lin Jiu had a pot of wine.

Si Xu and Jiang Ge were familiar with Lin Jiu's cooking skills and were mentally prepared for a table full of delicious food. However, Ji Anchen, who was having his first time there, was totally unprepared and was overwhelmed by the delicious food.

Ji Anchen finally realized why Si Xu and Jiang Ge couldn't forget the Magic Fish Shop. Not only was the boss beautiful, but her craftsmanship was also excellent.

He had never eaten such delicious food.

In a table of Magic Brocade Flower Dragon Feast, there is no need to crack or cut the shells. The shells that should be removed have been removed, and Lin Jiu has cut the shells that should not be removed in advance. The meat can be eaten directly with chopsticks or spoons. There is no need for the guests to crack or peel the shells with a grim face. The enjoyment of food cannot be without beauty, and the Demon Hunting Chef God will never allow such a thing to happen.

Ji Anchen was so busy eating that he didn't even stop to talk about business.

Jiang Ge was also busy eating and had no time to talk. Only Si Xu was the most polite and enjoyed both delicious food and fine wine.

Lin Jiu's gaze always fell more on Si Xu. Si Xu was holding the wine glass with a frown on his face. Lin Jiu thought, it's really still unpalatable, isn't it

Lin Jiu wanted to say that there was no need to force himself if the wine didn't taste good. He didn't mind at all. Before he could take a sip, Si Xu had already put down his glass.

"I'll go out for a while." Si Xu stood up with his hands on the table and walked towards the door, his body shaking a little.

"Are you drunk, Ah Xu? You're drunk after just a few drinks?" Jiang Ge teased.

"Not drunk." Si Xu replied and left the private room.

"I'll go take a look, let's continue eating." Lin Jiu got up and followed him out.

Si Xu staggered along the road, reaching out to grab something, but there was nothing nearby. Lin Jiu was afraid that he would fall, so he hurriedly chased after him...

“Squeak!”

The harsh friction sound resounded throughout the store, and Lin Jiu looked at the scene in front of him in shock—

The long wooden table that was originally placed neatly against the wall suddenly slid to the middle of the road. Si Xu's hand pressed on it accurately, as if there had been a table there originally.

There was a loud noise from the heavy wooden table being dragged, and the two people in the private room ran out.

Jiang Ge and Ji Anchen saw a wooden table across the road. Si Xu was standing on the table, and Lin Jiu was standing a few steps behind Si Xu.

Lin Jiu walked over quickly, "How is it? Are you really drunk?"

Si Xu looked at him solemnly, "... a little bit."

In fact, he was not drunk, he just felt very uncomfortable, as if there was a fire burning in his body, his head was dizzy, and there was severe pain in his head. Everything he saw was shaking. He wondered if his condition had worsened.

Lin Jiu supported him and said, "Sit for a while. I'll pour you a glass of water."

While pouring the water, Lin Jiu frantically called the system in his mind. He was afraid that there was something wrong with the wine he brewed. Otherwise, how could a good person suddenly become like this

Among the group, Jiang Ge and Ji Anchen had not yet finished the second glass of anthocyanin fruit wine, as they were still busy eating shrimps, but Si Xu had already drunk the first glass.

Lin Jiu didn't believe that the cup was overturned, there must be something wrong with the wine.

There is nothing wrong with the fruit wine brewed by the host. The fruit trees in the Demon Sea plane have been affected by the environment for many years and have absorbed a lot of magic energy. The brewing formula of the Demon Hunting Chef God, which mixes and ferments a variety of fruits, has the effect of stimulating magic energy. With the blessing of the host's siren song, the magic energy in the fruit is fully stimulated, and it becomes a real primary magic wine.

"etc… "

Lin Jiu felt something was wrong, "I didn't sing, so why did the siren sing?"

‌ sang.

"I didn't sing." Didn't he know whether he sang or not

I heard him humming while making anthocyanin wine.

Lin Jiu: “…”

Lin Jiu: “…”

Lin Jiu: “…”

Lin Jiu was confused, "Did I hum a song?"

Hmph.

The system is very sure.

Lin Jiu: “…”

When does he hum a song? Why doesn't he know it

Having the skills of a Demon Hunting God of Cooking does not mean that one is a Demon Hunting God of Cooking. Only when one learns to stimulate the magic energy in magic materials can one become a true Demon Hunting God of Cooking.

The Kitchen God System congratulates the host for learning to stimulate the magic materials and magic essence, becoming a primary demon hunting kitchen god, and is rewarded with a wooden treasure chest.

Lin Jiu: “…”

So, is singing the key to stimulating his magic material's magic power

… No, humming is also considered a siren song.

Is his skill point a bit crooked? If he wants to make a real magic meal, does he have to sing while cooking

…I feel like I have touched the truth.

Lin Jiu was not in the mood to look for a treasure chest now. He realized a crucial question, "What would happen if ordinary people ate the magic meal?"

Si Xu accidentally drank too much primary magic wine.

The ordinary human body cannot withstand the energy of the magic food and magic wine. A small amount can strengthen the body and prolong life, but an excessive amount may be fatal.

Lin Jiu's breathing stagnated, and his body trembled slightly, "Then... is God Si dead?"

It takes 2 magic points to detect other people's vital signs. Do you want to check

Lin Jiu said without hesitation, "Test."

The test is complete, no death.

Lin Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what happened to him?"

Ask others for information, one magic point for each question. Do you want to continue

Lin Jiu: “…”

Lin Jiu later realized that the system was cheating him of his magic value.

Lin Jiu: "Isn't the fee too expensive?"

There is no way, the system also needs to make money.

Lin Jiu: “…”

Lin Jiu wanted to ask if the Demon Hunting System had downloaded anything weird, when he heard Jiang Ge calling him.

Lin Jiu looked up, "What's wrong?"

Everyone was staring at him.

Jiang Ge: "What are you daydreaming about?"

Lin Jiu: “???”

Si Xu had recovered. Looking at Lin Jiu's slightly confused face, he smiled and asked, "Where's my water?"

Lin Jiu, who was almost sprained by the male god's smile: "..."

I was so focused on arguing with the system that I forgot to pour the water!

Lin Jiu's ears felt hot as the water, which had been delivered to Si Xu after a long delay, finally reached his hands.

"What's wrong? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Since Si Shen's life was not in danger, he should just be feeling uncomfortable for a while.

Si Xu's eyes were deep, "Much better."

More than much better, he feels very good now. He doesn't feel dizzy anymore, and the fire in his body has turned into small flames, nourishing his body. He feels full of strength, his ears and eyes are sharp, and he has never felt better than he does now.

"Then let's go back and continue eating..." Jiang Ge turned around and asked, "Who dragged the table?"

Si Xu: "Me."

Jiang Ge laughed at him, "You are a good drinker, aren't you? Why did you drag the table after drinking? Hey, why did you drag the table?"

Si Xu smiled, did not answer, but his eyes fell on Lin Jiu.

He said that when the table slid past, Lin Jiu saw it.

The four of them returned to the private room. Lin Jiu immediately took the wine glasses from Jiang Ge and Ji Anchen, walked to the window, and poured the wine.

Jiang Ge: “…”

Ji Anchen: “…”

Jiang Ge was furious. "Why throw away such good wine?"

Lin Jiu had already taken their pot of wine, "The wine is not brewed well, it can't be drunk, let's drink Huahongguo wine."

As Lin Jiu spoke, he picked up the barrel of Huaqing fruit wine and carried it to the second floor.

Si Xu looked at Lin Jiuli. Only he knew how unique this kind of amaranth fruit wine was.

It’s not that it was not brewed well, but that it was brewed too well.

There was no more Huaqing fruit wine, so Jiang Ge could only drink Huahong fruit wine. Ji Anchen was fine with either, but Si Xu stopped drinking and focused on enjoying the food.

The four of them ate up the Magic Brocade Flower Dragon Banquet and were all full. At the last moment, Si Xu gave Lin Jiu a card. The password was the last six digits of Lin Jiu's phone number. It contained money for buying 10 silver carps and fish bones, as well as the fee for tonight's private dinner.

Lin Jiu didn't care how much money was in the card and didn't refuse. He just wanted to send them away quickly. Ji Anchen wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. Lin Jiu was afraid that he would mention the matter of the Black Star Bead. Lin Jiu would rather turn a deaf ear to the truth than be exposed in front of him. It was too embarrassing!

Ji Anchen couldn't say it in the end, and could only leave with Si Xu and Jiang Ge, planning to come back again the next day.

It was completely dark and people were heading out of the old street.

Ji Anchen sighed, "Why don't you let me mention the Black Star Bead?"

Si Xu said calmly: "If you want to do it yourself, I don't care what you say. When you are with me, don't talk about anything else except eating."

Ji Anchen: “…”

His purpose in meeting with ‌ was to obtain the exclusive sales rights of the Black Star Beads through Si Xu's relationship. As a result, Si Xu did take him to ‌, but did not allow him to mention the Black Star Beads.

Ji Anchen is a smart man and he figured it out quickly. Si Xu just doesn't want to have any conflicts of interest with Lin Jiu.

He didn't want their relationship to become impure.

Ji Anchen had a complicated expression, "It doesn't look like that."

It is indeed un-Shushi to sit on a piece of fat meat without taking a bite.

In the eyes of others, Si Xu is a gentle and good-tempered male god, but the real Si Xu is not like that. He has been hiding behind the scenes to control "Huasheng". Over the years, he has killed many competitors, and those people don't even know who caused them to go bankrupt. Now he has taken over "Mohong" and the decisions he made are flawless. Everything is under his control.

His brain is not like a human brain, but more like a sophisticated computer. For every decision he makes, he can assess the risks and benefits to precise numbers, which is so powerful that it makes people's scalps tingle.

Ji Anchen was thankful several times that such a person went to make music instead of fighting in the business world, otherwise he would have unified the business world of City A long ago. However, Si Xu seemed to have transferred his passion for music to the business world recently. Ji Anchen was afraid that if he was unhappy, he would go to the jewelry industry to play around, which would be a disaster.

Si Xu smiled, "You sound like you know me very well."

Ji Anchen: “…”

He really didn't understand. The Si Xu he saw was very one-sided. He was tolerant and generous in front of his friends, gentle and polite in the entertainment industry, and ruthless and cruel in the business world... He didn't know what kind of Si Xu there was.

Si Xu stopped and said, "You go back first, A Ge and I will go back."

"Ah? What?" Jiang Ge was confused.

Ji Anchen knew that they had something to do, so he left without staying long.

Si Xu turned around and walked back, and Jiang Ge quickly followed.

Si Xu turned into an alley. The old street was dark at night, and the alley was even darker. Jiang Ge followed him anxiously, taking one deep step and one shallow step, like an old lady.

"us… "

"Shh!" Si Xu stopped him from making any sound.

Jiang Ge asked in a low voice: "Where are we going?"

Si Xu stared at him for two seconds, pulled him to a position, patted his shoulder, and told him to stand in the corner and not move.

Jiang Ge stood there obediently, like a headless wooden stake.

Si Xu left by himself.

In the alley not far from the Magic Fish Shop, there was a man standing. The man was completely hidden in the darkness. He kept staring at the Magic Fish Shop like a wolf waiting for an opportunity. Maybe it was because he was too focused or for some other reason, when he felt someone approaching, the man was only a few steps away from him.

Zhou Mu turned around alertly. In the darkness, he saw that the man was wearing a mask and was taller than him.

Zhou Mu looked relaxed, but he was alert in his heart, as if he was frightened. "Why is there no sound on the road? If someone scares me, I'll scare them to death."

"What are you looking at?" The voice beneath the mask was low and oppressive.

Zhou Mu tensed up, patted his pocket, and took out a half-pack of cigarettes. "What are you looking at?"

Si Xu lowered his voice a few degrees, "What are you staring at the Magic Fish Shop?"

Zhou Mu paused as he lit his cigarette. His sharp eyes disappeared into the darkness. He spoke lazily, "What do you mean by staring? That store has a nice decoration. Can't I take a closer look?"

"Look at it a few more times. You've been watching it for more than ten minutes, maybe even longer. Aren't you satisfied?" Si Xu exposed his lie.

As Si Xu came out of the Magic Fish Shop, he noticed someone staring at him. Even Si Xu himself did not expect such a sharp sense. As they walked forward and passed the alley, Si Xu took a deliberate glance and saw a person standing in the shadow.

They walked forward a little further and then went around the alley at the other end of Si Xu and Jiang Ge. It did take some time, and they were still there.

Si Xu was sure that he was staring at the Magic Fish Shop.

Zhou Mu suddenly threw the cigarette at Si Xu and turned to run. Si Xu was prepared and kicked him, but Zhou Mu dodged nimbly and Si Xu kicked the wall. Zhou Mu retreated back to the alley and did not fight with Si Xu. He ran into the dark alley and Si Xu chased after him.

Jiang Ge, who was acting as a wooden stake, heard footsteps passing by and ran away very quickly. It was pitch black and he could not see anything.

"Axu, is that right?"

Si Xu said, "Be careful!"

"What? Be careful about what... Damn! Who the hell kicked me!!!"

Before Jiang Ge could react, footsteps were already in front of him. He subconsciously moved forward, but was kicked in the calf and fell to his knees.

Jiang Ge: “??!!!!!!!!”

Jiang Ge was completely stunned.

Who did he offend? How could anyone attack him

Jiang Ge yelled "Fuck!", got up and started chasing after him, "Stop! You kicked someone and you still want to run away, you're so capable!!"

"Age! Stop chasing!"

When Si Xu called him, it was obvious that the man was a martial artist, with a fierce look, definitely not an ordinary person.

Jiang Ge didn't listen. He just sat there and was kicked. He knelt on the ground in disgrace. No man could tolerate this!

Zhou Mu had already run to the exit of the alley, and was about to shake off the two men, when he suddenly felt a sinking sensation on his back and was pinned to the ground.

Zhou Mu's expression changed, and a fierce aura burst out instantly.

What happened tonight was so unusual. First, someone approached from behind, but he didn't hear the footsteps. Then, the footsteps were some distance away, but he was suddenly knocked down. It was almost impossible to happen, but it happened.

“Fuck it… Ahhh it’s broken, it’s broken!!!!!” Jiang Ge was about to hit someone, but Zhou Mu grabbed his fingers and threw him to the ground.

When Si Xu arrived, he saw Jiang Ge sitting on the ground in a mess with his hands folded.

"Are you hurt?" Si Xu looked around, but the man was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Ge moved his fingers and said, "It's okay, it's not broken..."

Jiang Ge froze and slowly raised his head, "Did I just turn into Pig Man again... Ugh, Iron Man?"

Si Xu really had to admire his nerves. It was already this time, but he still seemed to be living in a dream.

Si Xu and Jiang Ge had already completed the physical examination. It was a private medical institution with very strict confidentiality. After the examination, they didn't even get the test results and there was no further news.

Jiang Ge's nerves were as thick as wires. When Si Xu asked him to go for a physical examination, he followed him without even asking, as casually as two kids going to the toilet together, and had no idea that anything was wrong.

Since their ability was accidentally revealed half a month ago, no matter how they tried, nothing unusual happened, as if their abnormality was an illusion, until this time, the ability appeared again.

Jiang Ge jumped up excitedly, "Who was that bastard just now? Let's look for him. I'm already possessed by Iron Man. I'm going to beat him up so hard that he'll scream!"

Si Xu was speechless. "Forget it. Don't rush to get beaten. He obviously held back. Otherwise, you would have been dead."

Jiang Ge was very angry, "Should I thank him for holding back?"

"I'm no match for him. Even if I find him, I'll be beaten." Si Xu told the truth.

Jiang Ge: “…”

Jiang Ge's lung was punctured and he was so angry that his liver ached.

After Jiang Ge used his ability for the first time, he did not fall to the ground in weakness. Instead, he rubbed his stomach and complained that he was hungry so quickly.

Si Xu did it intentionally tonight. He really couldn't stand steadily, he felt dizzy, bloated and painful, and his body felt like it was on fire. He wanted to hold on to the table, but without the table he would fall. His body instinctively protected itself and the heavy wooden table really slipped past him. It was at that moment that Si Xu grasped a hint of feeling. As long as he was given time, he would definitely be able to master it.

After Si Xu developed this ability, all the discomfort in his body disappeared. It seemed that he had accumulated too much energy, which had exceeded the threshold of his body's endurance. He would only feel comfortable when it was released, and this was indeed the case.

Jiang Ge was not as weak as last time. Although the food was a factor, Si Xu believed that the biggest factor was the glass of anthocyanin fruit wine.

Lin Jiu seemed to have discovered something, so he put away the green fruit wine and only let people drink the red fruit wine.

The effect of red fruit wine is not as obvious as that of green fruit wine.

After many twists and turns, all the suspicions fell on Lin Jiu again.

Si Xu did not leave immediately. He stood not far away, looking at the Magic Fish Shop. Lin Jiu went out to hang up the sign and soon went back in.

Lin Jiu doesn't want the entrance to be crowded with people every day and the old street to be blocked by cars, so his system needs to be adjusted.

We do not eat by time slots but by table number. We receive five tables at noon, starting at 11:30, and five tables at night, starting at 5:30. Private rooms are reserved, and we only receive ten, eleven or twelve tables a day.

In this way, Lin Jiu can grasp the ingredients more accurately and avoid waste.
