The specific consumption of making dishes depends on the selected ingredients.
Although Bai Zhi himself didn't feel much about today's cooking experience, others did sum up some hidden rules.
No matter what kind of dishes are made, the physical and mental consumption is the second, and the intellectual consumption is the most serious.
But for Bai Zhi, this point can basically be ignored.
When Bai Zhi and the figure came to the kitchen, Bai Zhi found that he was the only one who was visited by hungry diners tonight, which made him feel a little surprised.
At the very least, he thought he would see Li Mingqing's ups and downs here.
Without too much delay, looking at the figure in front of him that was about to go berserk due to hunger, Bai Zhi started making the dishes.
His cooking skills can't be said to be very good. At most, they're barely good enough to eat. But when cooking for a figure, you can't pay that much attention, right
Relying on tasting the dishes he made to restore his physical strength and spirit, and not having to worry about the loss of his sanity, Bai Zhi turned on the liver-exploding mode without any scruples.
If it were any other person, the other party would only be able to cook 3 to 5 dishes at most, and the rational recovery would not be able to keep up with the consumption, but Bai Zhi directly multiplied this result by ten.
Although there was no detailed count during the process, according to Bai Zhi's estimate, the number of dishes he made in the end was at least in the range of 40 to 50.
Although this kind of thing sounds easy to say, in fact, except for him, basically no one can do this... unless the other party also has immeasurable sanity value like him.
Although the loss of physical strength can be made up through dishes, after all, there is a so-called upper limit.
For this reason, in the middle of the process, his physical strength was almost drained, and he had to use his life-saving title skill [Dominated] to restore his condition to its peak before he could continue to do this. .
The process is arduous, but the results are remarkable.
Originally, he only had to cook one dish. After one dish, the figure had no reason to bother him anymore. This was also one of the rules of late night snack time.
However, it was naturally impossible for Bai Zhi to spend so much time and energy on something meaningless. What prompted him to make this decision was the change that happened to the figure.
Starting from the tenth plate of food, some strange changes occurred in the other party's body. This change was not in appearance, but in body shape.
The opponent's originally palm-sized figure began to evolve towards a normal human figure.
—But that’s all.
Even because of the change in body shape, the opponent looks more curious and terrifying...
In the end, the opponent's body had completely returned to the size of a normal person, but based on this, Bai Zhi could also clearly see the traces of multiple stitches on the opponent's body, and the threads in some places were even still there. There.
So far... In fact, Bai Zhi was able to clearly confirm the other party's identity as a human in the middle of the process.
But what kind of deep hatred caused the other party to be transformed into such a non-human and ghostly appearance
If it weren't for the existence of a special case like him who didn't need to worry about intellectual consumption, the other party would always remain in such a state in this restaurant, wandering in the endless night.
Besides myself, who else can provide forty or fifty dishes in just one night
Obviously, no matter what kind of existence it is that turns the other party into this state, such an approach clearly has the intention of torturing the other party.
Looking at the curiosity-seeking girl waving two tentacles in front of him while eating food, Bai Zhi vaguely felt as if he had touched a deeper secret about this mysterious restaurant...
But to be honest, his initial thought was that he wanted to hold on until he died... No, he wanted the other person to be full.
… … … … … … … …
After finishing the last dish, the curiosity-seeking girl let out a long sigh of relief, looked at Bai Zhi with her bee-like compound eyes and arthropod-like mandibles, and spoke her first complete sentence.
"No matter who you are, leave this restaurant as far away as possible and never come back."
—During the previous meal, the two of them had no communication.
"Why, I am your savior after all, right? Are you treating me like this?"
Looking at the girl in front of him who looked more like a disgusting monster than a human being, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What do you want?"
Lowering her head and looking at her body, the girl's tone seemed calm.
"If you continue to stay here in this restaurant, death is the best outcome. Or do you want to become like me?"
"Isn't it right? I remember this restaurant was quite friendly."
Spreading his hands, Bai Zhi looked noncommittal.
"Although there are all kinds of inexplicable rules, the treatment here is very good. I want to stay here and strive to become a regular, and then be promoted to a special chef."
"There is no need to try to trick me. You are too weak now. Telling you those things will only hurt you."
Looking at the two tentacles that replaced her hands, the girl responded calmly.
"But it is undeniable that you gave me a chance to recover, so if you want to know anything, just ask. I will tell you what I can tell you, and I won't tell you what I can't."
"What is the origin of this restaurant? Who built it? What was the original intention of building it?"
Without hesitation, Bai Zhi asked the biggest question in his mind about this restaurant.
The other party didn't respond, but looked at him calmly with a pair of scary bee-like compound eyes.
"Uh... what is the purpose of this restaurant's existence? Why did you become like this? Who made you become like this?"
—As always, no answer came.
"No, you asked me to ask, but you didn't say anything. Do you know that you are very insincere?"
Seeing the reaction of the girl in front of him, Bai Zhi rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Are you really sure you're not trying to amuse me on purpose?"
"I'm not interested."
The girl's tone was calm.
"As for the answers to the questions you just asked, it's not that I don't want to say them, but that I can't say them."
"So what else can you say?"
Bai Zhi curled his lips and looked a little annoyed.
"Who are you when you act so arrogant? You look so inhuman..."
"The former acting manager of this restaurant."
The girl in front of him spoke calmly.

Bai Zhi had many guesses about the identity of the girl in front of him, but he never expected that he would get such an answer from the other party.
"...the former manager of this restaurant?"
"It's the former store manager."
Looking up at him, the girl corrected the typo in his words.
"I am not the owner of this restaurant, I am just managing it on behalf of others."
"Then you were usurped by someone seeking power?"
After a moment of thinking, Bai Zhi automatically imagined a multi-million-word drama of workplace emotional intrigue in his mind.
"Because you have been in a high position for a long time, you have aroused the jealousy of some villains. Because of a carefully designed calculation, the other party not only took away your position as store manager, but also made you endure this almost eternal torture in a crazy way. …”
"You think too much."
The girl shook her head.
"This is a kind reminder to stay away from here as much as possible. This restaurant has become a canteen for those things. If you continue to stay here, you will also become a food on the table."
"What, isn't the chef an employee of this restaurant? How could it become another dish?"
Looking at the "girl" in front of him, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"A man says so many incomprehensible things to himself, but refuses to reveal any of the really key information. How can I trust you like this?"
"You don't need to believe me, you just need to remember my advice."
After saying this calmly, she glanced down at the kitchen chopping board, and the smooth tentacle on the girl's left hand curled up with a kitchen knife.
Then, she placed her other tentacle on the cutting board. As a cold light fell, a continuously twisting tentacle separated from her left hand. No blood showed on the wound.
But immediately after, new tentacles quickly formed at the wound on her left hand.
"Troublesome stuff..."
As if someone whispered in her mouth, the girl used her tentacles to roll up the twisting and crawling tentacles on the ground, and then raised it behind her head.
It was at this time that Bai Zhi discovered that on the back of the other party's head, which was covered by long hair, there was a sharp mouth full of jagged teeth... God knows what kind of transformation the other party's body had been made into.
"What are you going to do now?"
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi asked the other party.
Self-mutilation of his body is a big burden for the other person. Bai Zhiyou noticed that the other person's body was shaking slightly, as if he was suffering a lot of pain.
"Biding the moment."
A drop of sweat fell from her forehead, and the girl raised her head and glanced at him.
"If you continue to stay in this restaurant, something terrible will happen. Are you sure you don't want to leave?"
"What does the scary thing mean?"
"In this way, I am fused with ghost stories. I am neither a human nor a ghost, and I will never be able to escape. Or it can be said that I am made into a dish and served on the table, and my soul is forever imprisoned in the plate... Death is just a release."
"Uh... are you a player too?"
"no."
"then who are you?"
"Monster. Obvious."
"At night, there are many hungry eaters like you. Who are they?"
"The employees who used to be in this restaurant."
"Have they all become like you?"
"almost."
"Who is the current manager of this restaurant?"
"have no idea."
"Why couldn't we communicate before?"
"It's hard to have a clear sense of self in that state."
"name?"
"Taken away."
"Can a name be taken away?"
"Why not?"
"Then let me name you one?"
"That's outside the scope of the question."
The girl looked at him calmly.
"Now this restaurant is a huge lie. If you want to know the deeper secrets about this restaurant, come here tomorrow night and I will show you."
"Why tomorrow night? Can't you tell me the deeper secrets of this restaurant now?"
Bai Zhi rolled his eyes.
"Or are you also a procrastinator?"
"The reason is simple, because I don't know what the restaurant has become now."
The girl's face was expressionless.
