I Fed The Affectionate And Paranoid God - Chapter 22
At this moment, a text prompt suddenly popped up on the game screen.
[It woke up.]
Xia Chenxi didn’t pay attention to the newly released game feature; instead, he carefully stared at the little character on the screen.
Because at present, Xia Chenxi could only analyze the other’s emotions and thoughts through facial expressions and actions.
The little character’s eyelashes trembled as it slowly opened its eyes.
It seemed unclear about the situation until its gaze touched the blanket covering it, and its eyes suddenly narrowed.
Who moved the blanket?
It sat up instantly, carefully recalling all the details of what happened last night.
Its expression kept changing back and forth.
It remembered very clearly that last night, after taking a shower, it felt uncomfortable and laid down on the bed in a daze, quickly falling into a semi-comatose state of consciousness.
At that time, it had already realized that it had eaten something poisonous.
But it was too late.
But now…
It looked down at the quilt that was inexplicably covering it when it woke up, and its body didn’t feel the slightest bit uncomfortable; it was as if the memory of the poisoning yesterday was just an illusion.
But this made its expression even more gloomy.
Because all of this confirmed that something sneaked into the room in its most unguarded moment last night using unknown means.
This meant that the other party could have killed it at any time.
Just thinking about it was enough to cause distress; it supported its somewhat weak body, got out of bed, and started to search everywhere.
It searched through the wardrobe, bathroom, and even all possible hiding places, but still couldn’t find anything.
The other party seemed to have already left.
Its body hadn’t fully recovered yet, so it panted heavily as it stood there.
It had a gloomy expression on its face.
But in Xia Chenxi’s eyes, the little character looked a bit pitiful.
He was a little distressed.
The little character’s body had just recovered; it needed to lie down and recuperate.
Unfortunately, he only had +3 love points left and couldn’t activate the screen interaction mode to interact with the character in order for it to lower its vigilance towards him.
But Xia Chenxi quickly rejected this idea.
Even if there was enough love value to activate the interactive mode, this wasn’t a good time to lower the vigilance of the little character.
Such an intelligent character would definitely be frightened if it saw things in the room moving out of thin air.
However…
The little character seemed scared.
Xia Chenxi rubbed his nose and was engulfed with guilt for a few seconds.
The little character stood there with an incomprehensible expression.
From beginning to end, it still hadn’t figured out how the other party entered the room and how they left.
Most importantly, when the other party appeared, it was always unconscious and unprepared.
It lifted its arm and looked at the medical tape on it, its dark eyes filled with coldness and vigilance.
It was already the third time.
The other party had three opportunities, yet they didn’t kill it instead they saved its life.
Why?
Its fists clenched tightly, suppressing the terrifying monster that was about to break free from its cage.
It didn’t believe that the other party had repeatedly sneaked into the room just because they wanted to help heal its wounds.
It closed its eyes, quickly regaining its calmness, then it resisted the impulse to tear off the medical tape and returned to bed to rest with its eyes closed.
Because it needed to get better as soon as possible.
It couldn’t be sick for too long.
Xia Chenxi blinked slowly, feeling both puzzled and pleased by the little character’s reaction.
The little character surprisingly didn’t have an unusually intense reaction and even remained very calm, unlike before.
It even laid back in bed obediently, without wasting Xia Chenxi’s hard-earned love value.
Xia Chenxi suddenly felt full of motivation again.
It seemed that the day when he fully repaired their relationship and increased mutual trust and goodwill would soon come.
Xia Chenxi rubbed his hands and took the opportunity to experience the [Virtual Kitchen] function.
The game screen once again spreads like ink droplets on a pitch-black lake, creating a very realistic kitchen space, but it was empty.
He could only see three tomatoes placed next to the stove, and three eggs were placed by the side.
Of course, there was also half a pound of rice.
Xia Chenxi’s smile gradually disappeared…
At this moment, text popped up.
[Dear player, congratulations on activating the virtual kitchen function in advance. You have received a discount card and can spend -3 love points to purchase a basic kitchen beginner gift package.]
Its tone was tempting Xia Chenxi to come and buy quickly, implying that if he missed it, it would be as if he lost tens of thousands of yuan.
Xia Chenxi stared fixedly at the screen, increasingly suspecting that the true purpose of this game system was to deduct all his love points using legitimate reasons.
Unfortunately, he had no evidence.
After being silent for several seconds, Xia Chenxi reluctantly chose to purchase the basic gift package.
On the stove, suddenly a colorful gift package appeared out of nowhere, with a pink and tender bow tied to the top.
Xia Chenxi calmly clicked on the gift package.
The gift package immediately exploded like fireworks, revealing several sparkling objects.
The items were an iron pot, spoon, a kitchen knife, and an electric rice cooker, with a stacked set of bowls, plates, and chopsticks at the end.
In addition, there were also the most basic seasoning gift packages, including refined salt and monosodium glutamate, as well as soy sauce, soybean oil, and other things.
Xia Chenxi looked at these things, and his discomfort disappeared. It was worth it; he now had everything he needed.
However, due to the high degree of freedom in this game, Xia Chenxi still needed to arrange things one by one.
The stove seemed to be using natural gas, just like in reality, and he could accurately adjust the size of the flame.
There was a simple range hood above, with a plug connected to an unknown location.
He felt more and more like he was playing a nurturing game.
Xia Chenxi took a deep breath and slightly enlarged the game screen. Then, following his cooking habits, he first pressed down on the egg with his fingers and lightly tapped it on the bowl a few times.
The sound of tinkling bells rang out.
Even with these ordinary headphones, it sounded like Dolby sound was turned on.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Chenxi quickly scooped the crushed egg mixture into a bowl and mixed it evenly with chopsticks.
Then he washed the persimmons with clean water and cut them into several pieces with a kitchen knife for later use.
After the whole process, due to the small quantity at the beginning, the tomatoes ended up looking a bit unsightly.
Fortunately, no one would see it.
Xia Chenxi could only pretend not to see it and continued with the next step.
Xia Chenxi wanted to make some relatively simple home-cooked dishes. The difficulty of stir-frying tomatoes and eggs wasn’t high, so he confidently started pouring oil into the hot pot.
[Pour in the egg mixture, move the wok slightly until the entire egg is half cooked, then use a spoon to cut it into small pieces and serve for later use.]
But perhaps because Xia Chenxi wasn’t accustomed to using screens for operation, the eggs he fried took too long, and some parts even turned black.
Xia Chenxi pursed his lips, feeling grateful that he hadn’t used all the eggs; otherwise, he would have had to spend money on new ones.
A simple tomato stir-fried egg took Xia Chenxi more than ten minutes to make.
Xia Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief and scooped out the dishes and placed them on a plate.
In an instant, a text box popped up again:
“After evaluation, the grade of this dish [tomato scrambled eggs] is 1 star, and it has not yet reached the minimum requirement.”
Xia Chenxi: “What?”
He had been frying tomatoes and eggs for so many years, yet it only got one star.
Was this reasonable?
