I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 247 The Cruise Ship with No Return Date 3
"……what?"

Li Chenhai's mind went into a short blackout, his expression full of confusion:

"Are you sure you said she shook the chef's brains, not mine?"

Xia Mo sighed helplessly, indicating that this was the fact.

They both looked towards the food window, wanting to see how Lin Yuan could have done such a shocking thing.

*
Meal window.

Lin Yuan had no idea that his well-intentioned gesture would be misunderstood.

After trying to communicate with the chef, she found that the chef could actually understand what people said, but his reaction speed was a little slow.

"I don't know if the chef's cooking skills were originally like this, or if his cooking skills deteriorated to this level after his brain was hacked open."

Lin Yuan thought in his heart.

She continued to communicate with the chef:
"Your fish is not cooked. I am a tourist. Customers are God. You are offending God by doing this, do you know?"

Hearing this almost unreasonable request, the chef instinctively and slowly retorted:
"Fish has always been cooked this way, why do others eat it but you don't like it?"

As the chef spoke, his neck tilted slightly and the brains were about to fall into the pot.

There was only a steaming pot in the kitchen. If this huge pile of brains fell into it, Lin Yuan didn't believe what he would have to eat afterwards.

She immediately reached out and held the chef's nose bridge to prevent further tilt.

At the same time, Lin Yuan quickly grabbed the raw kelp from the window and used it as a rope to tie up half of the chef's head.

The process was a bit bloody, but after all the tossing and turning, the chef's brain finally stayed firmly in his skull, although it looked a bit horrible, as if it had been shaken evenly.

Lin Yuan discovered that the shape of the brain does not affect the chef's IQ.

After the chef understood what Lin Yuan was doing, he even said politely:
"Thanks for fixing my head."

Lin Yuan: “…”

He also has to thank himself.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and reiterated his request:
"I don't eat fish soup, please give me the whole vegetarian dish."

The chef nodded blankly:
"Vegetarian dishes are precious dishes on the ship and are generally not prepared..."

Lin Yuan suddenly recalled what Mo Gui said, that the tourists got on the boat because they paid extra money and the boat owner wanted to make extra money.

When Mo Gui said this, the plot progress even improved.

Facing the urging of the crew behind him, Lin Yuan was not at all flustered, and placed his palm on the dining table:
"I paid a price to get on board. Since I can pay one price, I can also pay a second price."

There was a crisp jingling sound. It turned out that a gold coin appeared between Lin Yuan's fingers at some point. It was golden and extremely attractive.

The chef's expression finally changed, and he asked:
"What do you want to eat?"

Lin Yuan looked around the restaurant and was a little surprised when she found two people from the Deep Sea Guild. Her eyes fell on their kelp soup.

For some unknown reason, Lin Yuan didn't really want the food that others had, and she didn't like kelp.

So Lin Yuan asked:

“What are you best at?”

Unexpectedly, this question made the chef stunned.

He let go of the hand that stirred the spoon, grabbed his ear, struggled to think for a moment, and finally said:

“…My favorite thing to make is potato soup.”

[Plot progress: 15%]

A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Yuan's face.

Interacting with the chef and unexpectedly learning his specialty actually counts as plot progress.

"What role does potato soup play in the subsequent plot?"

After secretly noting this information, Lin Yuan immediately ordered potato soup.

This time the chef did not find a reason to reject her, but instead went to the kitchen and cooked potato soup honestly.

Soon, a delicious aroma came, and the soft and sticky potato soup sprinkled with chopped green onions was served. The chef said in a daze:

"My best friend loves potato soup, and I've made it for him many times."

“If you are too familiar with something, you will never forget it in your life.”

He brought the potato soup carefully, fearing that anything might happen to the bowl in his hand.

Lin Yuan asked:

"Who is your friend?"

At this time, Lin Yuan had stayed at the food window long enough.

The captain observed through surveillance that the team did not move for a long time, and appeared in the restaurant the next second.

The captain was also a faceless man with a big belly, a fat head and big ears. He stood in the middle of the restaurant and patrolled.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan immediately served the potato soup and left.

The restaurant was in good order. The captain shook his head and aimed his blank face at the chef's kelp head.

"Who gave you the injection?"

The chef seemed to dislike the captain. He was silent for two seconds before saying:
"An enthusiastic tourist also helped me shake my brain. Now my thinking is much clearer and I don't shake my head when I serve food anymore."

The captain was stunned.

After thinking for a moment, the captain turned to the people who were eating in the restaurant and clapped his hands vigorously.

The crisp sound attracted everyone's attention.

"Hello, crew members. We have gained a lot from this voyage and will be returning home soon."

As soon as the words fell, all the faceless men raised their heads at this moment, and turned towards the captain with their faces as if their facial features had been cut off.

The captain was quite pleased with himself:

"As long as everyone works hard, this year's bonuses and wages will be paid out soon, and you can go home in time for the New Year's Eve dinner."

The captain said meaningfully:

“All this is thanks to the boatswain who took care of the navigation company.”

Warm applause soon broke out in the restaurant. The crew were excited about the captain's words, or perhaps just because of the appearance of the boatswain.

Who can suppress the excitement of taking home a salary plus extra money?

Only Lin Yuan's focus is a bit niche.

She tilted her head slightly:
"…It's the end of the year now. Are salaries paid once a year?"

She tapped the table with her fingers and suddenly realized.

Given the long sailing time, many crew members here may not have been home for a long time. Chinese New Year is a very important concept. If something unexpected happens during the sailing, these crew members will be trapped at sea.

In such an atmosphere of long-term emotional depression, it doesn't seem surprising that something happened on the ship.

Lin Yuan looked at the captain.

The captain said some more encouraging words, and after that, he left the restaurant.

Just at this time, Lin Yuan also finished his meal.

She walked out of the restaurant and paused in the long corridor.

Where she stopped, there was an emergency fire escape route map hanging.

"The finance office."

Lin Yuan pointed to the location marked on the route map and had an idea in mind.

"If the salary is delayed for a long time, and some unexpected situation occurs, causing people to change their minds..." Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with deep thought, "The loss of contact with Yuanhang seems to be an accidental man-made disaster."

As if in response to her guess, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and flashes of lightning could be vaguely seen.

Rumble!
It was pouring rain and the crew returned to the house. Lin Yuan also bypassed the surveillance and pushed open the door of the finance office.
