Below, a group of humanoid creatures covered in flames expressed their opinions.
"Due to the shortage of supplies, I haven't tasted elf creatures for a long time. You can't waste these precious ingredients. We paid for it. The chef last time was not good at cooking. We killed the elf in the middle of cooking, so we ate the chef. You are a senior chef, you shouldn't make such a stupid mistake, right?"
"certainly."
Glancing at the other party, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
The flowing shadows attached to his body covered his expression very well.
He knew that the chef level had nothing to do with the chef's strength, but he didn't expect that the status of the chef in the restaurant would be so low. What the other party said before was obvious, if the dishes they cooked made them dissatisfied. , he, a senior chef, will also be eaten.
"If that's the case, let's peel it off first."
There was a hint of impatience in the other party's words.
"I cook from the inside out. Are you the chef or am I the chef? How about you do it?"
While continuing to pour salt into the mouth of a certain loli elf, Bai Zhi looked noncommittal.
"What you have to do now is to trust me unconditionally. Only in this way can I bring you the most perfect food, you know?"
When talking about certain words, Bai Zhiyou deliberately increased the pressure on his hand when pouring the jar.
If the other party can't react like this, then there's nothing he can do.
Finally, after being brutally fed with salt for nearly five minutes, Chitose, a certain elf loli who started to roll her eyes after eating so much salt, finally completely let go of Bai Zhi.
Frankly speaking, this is actually a very dangerous thing, because if the guy in front of her is not here to save her at all, then she who has completely let go of him will encounter something worse than being turned into a dish. A more miserable ending.
Being made into a dish and eaten would only be painful for a period of time, but if the other party controls her entire mind, everything about her will be at the mercy of the other party to knead, change her thoughts, and replace her logic at will. That would be the most terrifying thing. .
Chitose was not a fool. When the other party said these words that she completely believed, she roughly guessed what was going on.
But it was extremely difficult for her to make that decision.
- To be precise, this is a big gamble.
Even if the opponent has something in his hand that seems to be a prop he holds, the things that this thing can represent are very limited. Who knows if what she saw was some kind of clever hallucination
It was not like she had never experienced this kind of thing before when she was still in her own world.
The world she was born in is a Western fantasy world where multiple races coexist, including humans, elves, orcs, goblins, dwarves... and so on.
But now, her world no longer exists.
Hundreds of years ago, the extremely terrifying evil gods and their evil god legions came to their world and destroyed her home. Even if all races united to resist bravely, they were defeated steadily in front of the evil god legions with strange powers.
Even if the apocalypse comes later, the time limit for destroying their world will only be slightly delayed by one or two hundred years.
When they were at the end of their rope and about to be destroyed, the supreme sage of the elves in her race, who was also her mother, united with the sages of other races, and together they arranged forbidden spells to detonate their worlds, and those evil god legions. Both jade and stone will be destroyed.
At the moment before the destruction of the world, with the power of that forbidden spell, they broke the blockade of the world by the Evil God Legion. She, together with the heirs of several other races, were sent to the world by the sages of various races. outside.
… This is a very painful history of blood and tears.
But as the youngest princess of the Elf clan, she didn't have any time to be sentimental or escape. The only thing she could do was to try her best... to survive.
This was the only request her mother, the supreme sage of the elves, made to her when she parted.

It's hard to say what kind of feeling it is. There is no sign. When the mind is released, the scene around him changes rapidly in the blink of an eye.
When Chitose came back to her senses, she found that she was in a strange place with no one around.
When she saw the faucet, the first thing she did after her physical restraints were lifted was to rush towards the faucet and drink tap water.
Her previous intake of large amounts of salt made her feel like her taste buds were about to be destroyed. Now that she finally had something to relieve her, she could no longer bear it.
Eating so much salt in one breath is not only a physical torture, but also a psychological trauma.
... She felt that she would probably not want to eat salty food in the next few months.
After a long time, she barely regained consciousness before she was in the mood to observe her surroundings.
The place she was in seemed to be a shower room, with a bathtub separated by a glass wall.
"here it is… "
"A restaurant, you should have heard of this kind of place."
A voice came from behind her.
"… Humanity?"
Turning around and looking at Bai Zhi's appearance behind him, Chitose couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
However, she quickly reacted and asked the other party impatiently.
"By the way, how come you have that..."
"The situation is urgent. I don't have much time. I have written everything you want to know on this piece of paper. You can read it yourself when the time comes."
Before the elf loli in front of her could finish her words, Bai Zhi interrupted her without any reason, and at the same time thrust a piece of paper filled with words into her hand.
"Remember, you owe me a favor."
As soon as Bai Zhi said these words, his figure suddenly disappeared in front of the other party.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he was back in the original restaurant kitchen, where several other players were.
—The timing is just right.
The hands of the wall clock on the kitchen wall pointed to 5:25 pm.
… … … … … … …
"...Guardian of the world? Last era?"
In Room No. 5, listening to Bai Zhi's story, Yanhuo Fengyue looked like she was a bit out of ideas.
"The person who came to me before was the former acting manager of this restaurant?"
"Don't think too much. Wait until you reach level 25 before you think about this kind of thing. That kind of thing is too far away from us now."
Bai Zhi glanced at the other party.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
It took him more than half an hour to explain those things in detail to Yan Huo Fengyue who was pestering him.
In fact, for things like this, it would be more effective if the person involved came forward to speak out. However, after returning to this point in time, Xiao Xiaobai didn't know where he went.
"No, it just feels a bit too bizarre..."
Sitting on the bed, Yanhuo Fengyue had a sad face.
"I feel like a brave man is preparing to fight monsters and upgrade all the way to kill the devil. Then when he walks out of the novice village with high spirits, he finds that the devil is waiting for him at the entrance of the novice village..."
"In fact, it stands to reason that those demon kings who let their subordinates upgrade the brave men are fools. Smart demon kings will nip the danger in the bud in advance."
Bai Zhi shrugged slightly, with a noncommittal look on his face.
"So it is actually very logical for a hero to walk out of the Novice Village and find the Demon King squatting at the entrance of the Novice Village."
"But do you know how to start a king bomb in a landlord fight?"
Yanhuo Fengyue was slightly unconvinced.
"Yes, playing cards is all about momentum."
Bai Zhi nodded seriously.
"..."
"Well, if you think about it from another perspective, when you were about to leave the Novice Village, you received news related to the main mission. If you think about it this way, wouldn't it be easy to understand?"
Pouting his lips, Bai Zhi stood up and walked towards the door.
"Hurry up, it's dinner time."
Some things are actually not easy to say.
Seven evil gods walked out of this restaurant. In other words, this test had been triggered seven times before them.
The premise for this assessment to be triggered is that the chefs have the intention to cook more dishes for the hungry diners who come to their door during supper time.
Those who can cook multiple dishes in a row can basically be regarded as the best among players. These people are usually quite confident in their own performance, such as Positive and Negative.
But compared to being confident, Bai Zhi felt that the other party was conceited...
And as long as they are pulled into the assessment, unless the guardian of the world suddenly realizes his conscience, basically no one can come back alive in front of an evil god who has transformed once.
But if the other party really has a conscience to discover it, then it will not deliberately guide the players to trigger this assessment, so basically speaking, this can be called a dead end.
This restaurant has been contaminated.
On the surface, this is a neutral restaurant open to both players and monsters, but in fact, it is a cradle for evil gods.
If it weren't for a coincidence, Yan Huo Fengyue delayed turning off the lights and met Xiao Xiao Bai, and then exchanged room numbers with him for this reason, it is estimated that this secret would have been hidden in this restaurant.
And if the positive and negative sides are allowed to succeed, Bai Zhi is not sure whether he can survive, but the other seven players except him will definitely die there.
So if we deduce it layer by layer from this aspect, the main contributor to saving all this should be Yanhuo Fengyue...
While Bai Zhi was thinking about these things endlessly in her mind, she had just reached out to the door handle when the long-lost prompt from the system suddenly jumped out in front of all the players.
[The mission is completed, the copy guide is over, and the transfer will begin in three minutes.]
Bai Zhi couldn't help but froze when he saw this prompt from the system popping up in front of him.
After all, if calculated in terms of time, the three-day assessment period for trainee chefs should only have passed for a day and a half as of today. How could it happen so quickly... Wait, the assessment...
Suddenly something occurred to him, and Bai Zhi's complexion couldn't help but change slightly.
At the beginning of this dungeon, when several of their players went through the assessment to select a chef, the system issued a task, and the condition of the task was to successfully pass the assessment.
At that time, they thought it was an assessment to pass the test and select the trainee chef, but later there was no reminder that the task was completed, so they took it for granted that it was an assessment to complete the trainee chef period.
But judging from the system prompt that pops up in front of them, the assessment required in the mission clearly refers to the assessment from this restaurant... So this so-called assessment is to stop the guardian of the world. Become an evil god? Or should we explore the deeper secrets hidden behind this restaurant
… What is the relationship between [System] and [World Guardian]
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 703 Chapter 694 Parting and Return
In addition to those, Bai Zhi also had some new conjectures in his mind.
They had just returned from the assessment at the restaurant. Not even a few minutes had passed before the system suddenly popped up and announced that they had completed the task and could return to the station.
Although this doesn't seem like much on the surface, it is a matter of course that you can return after the task is completed.
But is it because they have completed the restaurant assessment, or does the system not want people in this restaurant to find out that they have successfully returned from the assessment
You know, it will be dinner time in a few minutes, and the broadcaster on the radio will definitely discover the fact that they have all returned safely.
Bai Zhi didn't know who the current manager of this contaminated restaurant was, but Bai Zhi was certain that the current manager was definitely not a human.
Someone has returned safely from the assessment that no one has ever come back before. Brother Broadcaster may not know the inside story and just thinks they are lucky, but Bai Zhi doesn't think that the current store manager doesn't know the inside story.
You can imagine what the consequences would be if the secrets hidden in this restaurant were revealed.
When the veil of neutrality on the surface is torn away, this already polluted restaurant will reveal its deepest fangs.
If they continue to stay in this restaurant, the fact that they successfully returned from the assessment will definitely be known to the current store manager, and by then, they may not be able to escape unscathed. It is the easiest way to be killed and silenced.
Bai Zhi felt that there were both possibilities, and among them, the latter's score should account for the vast majority.
However, he can think of this, and others should also be able to think of this kind of game between high-level beings. A single move can affect the whole body, and the consequences of being careless will be extremely disastrous.
If you think about it from this aspect...
"Eh? So fast? But I haven't cooked today's dish yet. That's the upper limit of 2,000 psychic points!!"
Just as Bai Zhi was frowning and thinking about this in his mind, behind him came the mournful screams of fireworks, wind and moon.
Bai Zhi: "..."
As trainee chefs, they have an individual dish they can make for themselves every day.
The menu that Bai Zhi brought back before was very effective. The upper limit of the increased spiritual power ranged from one thousand to two thousand points. This did not come from the addition of equipment and props, but from the improvement itself. Naturally, the effect was not used. Say more.
Just in case you encounter weird rumors about banning equipment and props again, the 2000-point psychic power limit you have on yourself can be a life-saving thing.
Originally, Yanhuo Fengyue planned to make today's dish in the afternoon, but who knew that she would be pulled into the assessment just after lunch time.
