Chapter 150: Deliciousness in Memory
“Dr. Bai, are we just leaving like this?”
“Leave? You want to stay here and help clean up the bodies?”
“Let’s go faster.”
Song Tiantian quickly outpaced Dr. Bai, as the enforcement team had already arrived.
If she walked any slower, she might actually be made to clean up the battlefield.
Song Tiantian was just hesitating whether she should give a statement before leaving.
This time, Elder Huang himself led the team.
Elder Huang’s son, daughter-in-law, and daughter had all died at the hands of Fierce Beasts, and now only his granddaughter remained.
He wouldn’t normally take missions so readily.
But upon learning that Huang Xiaohua was in danger, he rushed over immediately.
Even from a distance, Song Tiantian could hear Huang Xiaohua comforting her grandfather.
“You’re really walking fast!”
Dr. Bai soon caught up to Song Tiantian.
“Just average, Doctor. Why did you make such a big detour around the Ghost? The Ghost’s main body is over there. There are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, not guards who can guard for a thousand days. Is there any way to solve the Ghost once and for all?”
Song Tiantian asked Dr. Bai beside her.
“The Ghost’s main body is in the Beast Realm. We need to completely destroy a Secret Realm, open a passage, and then enter the Beast Realm through that passage. The Beast Realm is very dangerous, with Nine-star Fierce Beasts everywhere. Nine-star Fierce Beasts are considered relatively low-level existences.
As for a way to deal with the Ghost, I haven’t thought of one yet, because I also want to get rid of the Ghost!
As for why the Ghost is targeting you like this, it’s possible someone made a deal with the Ghost. That person wants you to be ruined!”
After hearing Dr. Bai’s words, Song Tiantian was about to say something.
Dr. Bai suddenly said to Song Tiantian, “Am I on a business trip this time, or am I working overtime? I saved you, and I even wasted a bottle of high-grade medicine. I’m weak now, and I’ve also consumed a lot of Spiritual Power, making me even weaker.
My injuries are also more severe. You used to get a commission when you went to work. Am I also getting a commission and a reward in this situation?”
“Yes!” Although Song Tiantian felt she could have escaped successfully even without Dr. Bai’s intervention.
Dr. Bai’s arrival had indeed saved her a lot of trouble.
Furthermore, if she didn’t give a reward this time, what if Dr. Bai decided not to save her next time? She had to give what was due.
“Life is priceless. If I hadn’t come, you would have been in mortal danger. Do you think your life is worth a big meal? I’ll only eat one meal.”
Dr. Bai waved his hand and threw out a huge scroll, densely covered with writing.
Three Whirlwind Ice Creams, two cups of Sunflower Flower Tea…
“Song Tiantian, I’m only asking for one meal. I’m not being greedy and asking you to provide for me forever. I’m just eating this once. Your life is worth one meal.”
“Doctor, doesn’t it tire you to write so much?”
Song Tiantian was stunned by the dense writing. She didn’t realize she could make so many dishes, and many of the foods were repeated.
“When I’m hungry, I write down what I want to eat. Some of these are for Black Crow, and some are for White Lotus. Don’t worry, we absolutely won’t waste anything. We’ll let you watch us eat it all.”
“Dr. Bai, I don’t recall treating your food poorly! And you don’t look like someone who can’t afford to eat! Why aren’t you eating?”
Song Tiantian was genuinely curious now.
She had originally thought Dr. Bai didn’t like to eat, but it turned out he quite enjoyed food.
And Dr. Bai wasn’t like this before.
No, before he was being watched, Dr. Bai actually ate quite a lot. Dr. Bai also really liked drinking Fruit Tea, and he always drank a super large amount.
“Because the food they make isn’t tasty. They don’t have your Culinary Skill. You can’t be perfunctory with this meal; you must cook for me with your heart. I’m not asking for much, just one meal.”
“Alright! But for some of the food here, I haven’t made it before, so I’ll have to search online for the recipes. It’s my first attempt, so if the taste isn’t good, you can’t blame me.”
“If it’s really hard to eat, and I truly can’t stomach it, you can’t blame me either.”
“Deal!”
After Song Tiantian and Dr. Bai returned together, they began procuring Ingredients.
This meal cost nearly a hundred million.
Even so, many of the Materials were things Song Tiantian already had in her Space and didn’t need to buy, yet it still cost this much.
Dr. Bai’s appearance fee was truly not cheap. This price was likely already discounted.
In the future, she couldn’t casually let Dr. Bai act unless it was a critical moment, otherwise, her Pet Beast Center would go bankrupt within a few days.
Although Dr. Bai said he would only eat one meal, the appetite of a Nine-star Pet Beast was not to be underestimated. They could eat one meal, eat a lot in that meal, and then not eat for a long time.
In other words, they could eat a month’s worth of food in one sitting.
Song Tiantian knew Dr. Bai was getting a good deal, but she didn’t point it out. It was important not to be too shrewd; giving someone a little benefit appropriately could lower their guard against you.
When someone takes advantage of you, they’ll think you’re a good person and be willing to interact with you, which allows for better mutual utilization and benefit.
By the end of the day, Song Tiantian was completely exhausted.
Dr. Bai wasn’t as picky as she thought; he ate all the dishes.
The new dishes, which she had never made before.
For example, the Cotton Candy made from Spiritual Plants and the Nine-turn Tripe made from Fierce Beasts, Dr. Bai ate them all, accepting anything he was given.
Black Crow also joined in and had a full meal.
White Lotus, on the other hand, diligently consumed over twenty basins of Fertilizer.
“Dr. Bai, your order is complete. I have not a single drop of Spiritual Power left. You calculated it perfectly! Truly impressive, I admire you. I’ll go rest in the adjacent Research Institute now.”
Song Tiantian was truly exhausted. Dr. Bai had calculated it too precisely; not a single bit of her Spiritual Power could be wasted.
Fortunately, she had bought a lazy sofa in the adjacent Laboratory, which was perfect for sleeping now. She was just too tired.
Dr. Bai looked at Song Tiantian’s weary figure and knew very well that Song Tiantian was truly drained.
This was the first time he had eaten only to seven-tenths capacity, and his two Pet Beasts were also full.
Song Tiantian’s Strength exceeded his imagination. He had created such a menu to gauge Song Tiantian’s potential.
For the last few dishes, Song Tiantian’s Spiritual Power had clearly been depleted. She had relied on Willpower to make them, but the taste was still not bad. He could even taste Song Tiantian’s joy at nearing the completion of the task fused into the dishes.
These dishes were truly delicious.
The higher one’s Cultivation and the stronger their Strength, the more it wasn’t always a good thing. These new dishes were things he used to like, but unfortunately, he could no longer taste anything afterward, until today, when he once again tasted the deliciousness from his Memory.
