The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 115 [The Taste of Memory 2]

While taking a break, Qinhuai Cat opened the game panel in the corner to check the tasks.

Side tasks:

2. [The Taste of Memory 2]: When Qu Jing bit off the noodle fruit that Qin Luo had specially left for her, she suddenly felt a familiar feeling. It seemed that many years ago, in her vague memory that she had long forgotten, there was also someone who would specially save her favorite snacks for her. It's a pity that Qu Jing doesn't know who that person is, nor does she remember what the snacks look like or taste like, but the feeling that he only treasures her has always remained in her heart. Please help Qu Jing remember the taste of memory and let her really wake up.

Mission Reward: [Qu Jing's dream] (Choice: Yes/No)
A very straightforward task.

Qin Huai scrolled down to check the illustrations and found that, as expected, a new illustration had been unlocked.

Name: Qu Jing

Species: Unknown

Status: Complete amnesia

Dream: 0/1
Recipe: None
Gift: None
There is only one memory!
Qin Huai was a little surprised. You know, Chen Huihong and Luo Jun both have three memories. And according to Qin Huai's analysis of the side quests and dreams, the two complement each other.

Chen Huihui's dream love buns, locust flower buns, are a recipe from Chen Huihong's memory, and Luo Jun's first side quest, tangerine peel tea, is also a recipe he remembered.

Following this logic, the idea of ​​completing tasks in this game should be to find a way to obtain the memory of the task target first. After reading the memory, use the recipes and scenes obtained from the dishes that appear in the memory to assist in completing the task.

The reason why Qin Huai was able to overtake Luo Jun and complete his side quest was entirely because he used cheats, communicated with Luo Jun face to face, treated him honestly, and asked questions when he didn't understand.

This method of directly asking the target of the task how to complete your task is considered very rare in the game.

However, Qu Jing's task obviously cannot be completed according to this logic.

She only has one memory, and you have to complete her side quest first to gain access to that memory.

Qin Huai couldn't overtake and ask directly, because Qu Jing was now in a state of complete amnesia. Regardless of whether she believed Qin Huai's words that she was a monster from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, even if Qu Jing believed it, she had no way to tell Qin Huai what the taste in her memory was.

She is now in a state of complete amnesia.

Not to mention the level of abstraction of this side quest...

Qin Huai felt that he should apologize to Chen Huihui and Luo Jun for the side quest. The most difficult people to deal with in this world are not children and the elderly, but women.

There are so many kinds of Chinese dim sum, even Zheng Siyuan can't guarantee that he can cook them all. No hints were given, just the taste of memory, how can such an abstract task be completed? ? ?

Luo Jun's Taste of Memory at least clearly stated that it was a low-profile version of the fruit, and there was a direction to strive for.

Even if Qin Huai could boldly guess that the snacks with the flavors that Qu Jing remembered should be the flavors she liked, rice cake-like and soft, glutinous and sweet, there were countless snacks that fit these two categories.

By the time Qin Huai has learned all of them and done them to Qu Jing, Luo Jun will probably be reincarnated.

Qin Huai, who had been thinking about it for the whole morning but had not figured out the direction, could only make an excuse after lunch that Luo Jun wanted to eat flower steamed buns because his waist was uncomfortable today, so he went to deliver it himself. By the way, he also made an appointment with Chen Huihong on WeChat to go to Luo Jun's house to discuss in detail.

When Qin Huai arrived at Luo Jun's house, Chen Huihong had already eaten the shortbread that Luo Jun asked Zhang Shumei to buy in the morning.

Zhang Shumei was sent away again. Qin Huai took a look at the snacks on the table, which had a rich variety.

There were crispy biscuits, cold fresh meat mooncakes and crab shell cakes, and what were obviously the Dingsheng cakes, Yunpian cakes, and Songhua cakes that were bought yesterday and not finished, and most likely the sesame crisp candies, pine nut and jujube paste cakes, and eight-treasure cakes that were bought three days ago (these three snacks were not made in the past two days), as well as two bags of melon seeds and peanuts that were squeezed into the corner by the snacks, and a plate of fruit that Zhang Shumei had cut and arranged before she left.

This lineup is ready for a tea party.

Qin Huai put the flower buns that he brought specially for Luo Jun on the table. There were a total of four flower buns in the bag, with three flowers and one fish. They were all at the level of crayon drawings by kindergarten children. They were ugly, cute, beautiful, colorful and delicious.

Zheng Siyuan taught Qin Huai how to make flower steamed buns in order to train his fingering skills, but at the same time, Zheng Siyuan knew that the pastry Qin Huai really wanted to practice was noodle cakes, so he was also teaching Qin Huai how to mix different ingredients into the dough to adjust the color.

For example, if Qin Luo wants to eat the yellow Doraemon, but she doesn’t want the cornmeal version, she can also eat the pumpkin flavored one. As long as the recipe is right, the sweet pumpkin mixed in the noodles can also taste another kind of sweetness.

Qin Luo said he was tired of eating pumpkin-flavored Doraemon after two days and wanted to eat black one.

Black is usually made with cocoa powder, and Qin Luo loves everything with chocolate flavor.

These days, Zheng Siyuan looked at Qin Huai pinching the black Doraemon with an unbearable look every day, lamenting that he was sorry for his master and for Doraemon.

The four flower buns that Qinhuai brought today have four different flavors.

Pumpkin, chocolate, raspberry and sweet potato flavors.

Luo Jun took out the black chocolate fish from the bag with disdain and asked, "With this skill, you want to make noodles?"

"Skills are acquired through practice. My apple-faced fruit is very good, isn't it? It's a pity that your side quest doesn't require apple-faced fruit, otherwise the quest would have been completed long ago." Qin Huai looked around the restaurant and living room, but didn't see Bing Bingzi's painting, so he asked, "Where's the painting?"

Bing Bingzi's order was completed long ago. She spent 10 yuan to draw 10 pictures. The scenes included Liu Tao singing, Liu Tao taking off her makeup after singing, Liu Tao waiting at the door of the hotel, Liu Tao eating chestnut cake, Liu Tao watching a movie, Liu Tao holding her lunch box and wanting to cry, Liu Tao at a loss...

Qin Huai told Bingbingzi almost every scene he could think of that was worth drawing. In order to make her draw more realistically, he also gave a summary of the previous events, analyzed the characters' psychological states, and elaborated on their basic backgrounds.

Bingbingzi thought Qin Huai was obsessed with reading novels.

She asked Qin Huai if he could send her the link to the original novel so that she could read it and better understand the mood.

"In the collection room." Luo Jun said, "If you want to see it yourself, go to the collection room. I think the painting still doesn't look like it. Did you not explain it clearly?"

Qin Huai protested: "It really looks very similar, 90% like what I remember!"

Luo Jun said nothing, taking a bite of the steamed bun: "It's not as good as the noodles. If you want to see it, come quickly and don't delay your work. Chen Huihong, if you want to eat, eat it quickly. Do you need this little money? You come to my house every day to eat my food. Go to your brother's house and get some."

"My brother didn't buy as much as you did." Chen Huihong said.

Qin Huai went to the collection room to look at the paintings.

This is Qin Huai’s first time to enter the collection room.

During the last visit, Ouyang and the others took a look, and when Qin Huai wanted to look, he was stopped by Luo Jun. After that, every time he came to Luo Jun's house, he talked about things and never entered the room.

Qin Huai became withdrawn as soon as he entered the collection room. It’s different when you have money. The collection room is even bigger than his bedroom.

The area is very large, but it looks crowded. There are many shelves, and all of them are filled with butterfly specimens. A quick glance shows that there are at least hundreds of them.

There are all kinds of butterflies, big and small, colorful, enough to hold a butterfly exhibition.

Ten paintings were framed and hung on the wall, sandwiched between the butterfly specimens. There was also an easel by the window with an unfinished painting of a butterfly.

It can be seen that Luo Jun really likes butterflies.

Qin Huai had no research or knowledge of butterflies and did not recognize any species. He just felt that the butterflies in the collection room seemed to be of different species. There were butterflies of all colors, even black ones were missing, but the common yellow color was missing.

"Are you ready? Chen Huihong has finished eating, let's talk!"

"I'm here." Qin Huai silently closed the door of the collection room.

Chen Huihong had indeed finished her snacks and started eating the fruit plate.

Qin Huai told the two about the side quest that was accidentally triggered in the morning, emphasizing that Qu Jing only had one memory.

"Qu Jing's side quest is really too difficult." Qin Huai said, "Can we try a shortcut and directly tell Qu Jing about the spirits in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and let her think hard about it?"

"No." They said in unison.

Chen Huihong didn't even eat the fruit plate, and said seriously, "Even if you say it, she won't believe it."

"It is impossible for people who are in the fog to see through it. The essence of overcoming the tribulation is a process of self-rescue. Theoretically, every spirit has to rely on herself to overcome the tribulation. External intervention will only make it more and more difficult for her to overcome the tribulation. Xiao Qin, your system is a very rare and extreme case."

"Just look at Luo Jun. He is now a typical example of someone who is in a fog. He knows very well that he failed to transcend the tribulation, and he also knows why he failed. However, he would rather wait for death here than break through his inner demons. He is even unwilling to tell us why he failed."

Luo Jun:?
"Let's take a step back. Even if you tell Xiao Qu and she believes it, this is still a serious act of cheating. It will reduce her chances of successfully overcoming the tribulation from 1% to 1/10000."

"Ah?" Qin Huai was shocked. "Is the success rate so low?"

Chen Huihong nodded: "In fact, I overestimated the probability of 1%. If a spirit fails to overcome the tribulation in its last life, it means that the inner demon is deeply rooted and there is basically no chance of success."

"God will drop the last straw, but most likely you won't see it."

"It's not that easy to help a mortal spirit change its fate. A plant spirit like me doesn't even have the conditions. If a Bifang like Luo Jun is willing to sacrifice all of his divine power, he might be able to help his kind survive the catastrophe, but that would mean his own demise. Who would be so stupid as to help their kind survive the catastrophe at this cost?"

"Unless they encounter a very small number of spirits with very special abilities, but these spirits are even rarer than Bifang, so they may not be willing to help."

"I explained so much to you just to tell you that failure in overcoming the tribulation is common, and success is a miracle. It doesn't matter if you can't complete Xiao Qu's task. Don't feel psychologically burdened. Look at Luo Jun, he has a very good mentality."

Luo Jun:……?
"Chen Huihong, I have tolerated you for a long time." Luo Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Can you speak? If you can't, just shut up."
