The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 353 [Dang Kang's Wish] (asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month~)

Since Luo Jun has spoken out in person, Qin Huai must believe it to some extent.

Qin Huai put the chopped preserved fruits on the plate and continued to chop nuts, asking as he did so: "Mr. Shi has already successfully passed the tribulation as a Dang Kang. In a sense, his past dark history has become his origin. So what is he hiding from me? Or is there anything he cannot say even after successfully passing the tribulation?"

"That's a lot." Chen Huihong originally just wanted to be a spectator, but couldn't help but interrupt as she listened, "Successfully overcoming the tribulation and feeling ashamed are not contradictory. If you, Xiao Qin, couldn't see my memories and asked me directly what happened in my past life, I would definitely not tell you that I was a crazy lady in Peking who ate and drank for free."

"I won't tell you the exact cause of Hui Niang's death, and I won't tell you that I noticed something was wrong with Hui Niang the night before. I especially can't tell you that a few minutes before Hui Niang died, I was still hesitating whether to save her because I was afraid of exposing myself as a spirit."

"It would be embarrassing to talk about these things even if you succeed in overcoming the tribulation, don't you think so, Luo Jun?"

"Hey, if Xiao Qin can't see your memory, what won't you tell Xiao Qin?"

Luo Jun: ...

Luo Jun turned around and rolled his eyes at Chen Huihong, then turned his head away fiercely, not wanting to even glance at her out of the corner of his eye. He was silent for more than ten seconds before he squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Humph, I won't say a word."

Chen Huihong's story is mixed with dark history, and Luo Jun's dark history is mixed with stories.

Seeing Chen Huihong and Luo Jun's reactions, Qu Jing was a little confused. She suddenly realized that she didn't seem to fit in very well with the group. She could only say weakly, "But I don't think there's anything I can't say."

"If Qin Huai asked me, I would definitely tell him everything."

Luo Jun: ...

Chen Huihong could only console him earnestly: "You are different. Of course you can say everything. You little bird can say whatever you want to say."

Seeing that the topic was about to change direction, Qin Huai quickly spoke up to pull the topic back: "So even if Mr. Shi concealed some facts, he was not sincere. He simply didn't want to say it, or he felt that the matter was a dark history and was embarrassed to talk about it."

Luo Jun was very satisfied with Qin Huai's interruption. His expression eased slightly and he nodded, "That should be the case. Dang Kang is not a blackmailing beast and is not that good at lying. Moreover, with Dang Kang's personality and brain, he would not bother to lie and would not lie. He is a lucky beast that is popular wherever he goes and does not need to rely on lies to make a living."

Even though Gong Liang was not here and hadn't even woken up, Luo Jun still didn't forget to drag Gong Liang down.

Qin Huai began to think about whether he should find a reason to take away the bowl of spicy hot pot rice cake in front of Luo Jun. With such a bowl of food in front of him, Qin Huai was afraid that Luo Jun would lick his lips while talking and poison himself to death.

"So what is Dang Kang's personality usually like?" Qin Huai asked.

Qin Huai had discovered long ago that although each spirit was an independent individual with its own personality and hobbies, in most cases their personalities were somewhat related to the original body. For example, the old bird had a hot temper, the little bird was cute, the plant spirit was a little strange, the three-legged golden toad loved lying down and loved money (An Youyou was a mutant), the Xiezhi was fair and just, and the black beast was full of nonsense.

Through the species of these monsters, we can roughly judge their standard personalities.

"That's what you learned." Luo Jun said, "Dang Kang is an auspicious beast among auspicious beasts. It is either very easy or very difficult for him to overcome the tribulation. He is not competitive and his brain is not particularly bright. Apart from his love of eating staple foods, he does not have any special hobbies."

"Just like Shi Dadan said, it has passive buffs for breeding and planting. As soon as it appears, there will be a good harvest. The weeds in the daily life area are more vigorous than in other places. It should be the most suitable for farming, but most people are too lazy to do this kind of thing, not even to go out for trading."

"Be diligent and raise some animals that your neighbors like, and trade with them regularly. Monsters like Pixiu and Xieshou like to be neighbors with Dang Kang the most. Occasionally, there are also three-legged golden toads who like to be neighbors with Dang Kang. After all, doing business with Dang Kang is a sure win."

Qin Huai:......

It sounds like the auspicious beast lives a carefree life without any worries.

"Then why is it that it is either very difficult or very easy for Dang Kang to overcome the tribulation? Is Mr. Shi's tribulation considered difficult or easy?" Qin Huai asked again.

"It's difficult, right?" Luo Jun blurted out, "Dang Kang's personality is most suitable for transcending tribulation, just like the plant spirits. Some time ago, Chen Huihong and I discussed why many plant spirits succeeded in transcending tribulation after being burned to death. It's because they didn't transcend tribulation at all."

"They have never integrated into the human world, nor have they ever wanted to learn how to be human, so it's easy for them to survive. This method sounds very opportunistic, but not every spirit can do it."

"To come to the human world to survive the tribulation, one must first enter the world. Being able to completely not blend in, not linger, and not exert emotions when entering the world is also a skill in itself. Chen Huihong is one of those people who doesn't have this skill. She thought she didn't blend in, but in fact, she didn't even know that she had failed to survive the tribulation for so long. She is the most foolish of fools." After saying this, Luo Jun snorted at Chen Huihong, "She is only a little better than me. What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"

Qin Huai: ...Or he should take away the bowl of spicy rice cake soup in front of Luo Jun.

"The grass and wood spirits have an innate advantage in this area because they are poor at popularizing education. And Dang Kang also has an advantage in this area because of his personality."

"Under normal circumstances, even if Shi Dadan integrated into the human world and found a job, he could still stay out of the world. Because Dang Kang really doesn't like to think, and they are not very smart. Learning how to be a human being is too troublesome for them, and most Dang Kang don't want to learn how to be a human being. It's just that he was unlucky. When he came here, cultural education was popularized, and he learned a lot. The quality of the people he came into contact with improved, and there weren't so many murders, arson, robbery and rape."

"If he had passed the tribulation hundreds of years earlier, no, it didn't take hundreds of years. If he had passed the tribulation in the same year as me, on his first day in the human world, if he had stopped at a slightly remote road, he would have seen at least two unlucky people who were accidentally killed by bandits. He would have seen so many, how could he fail in the tribulation because of such a thing?"

It sounds like Shi Dadan has suffered a loss due to his cultural background.

Qin Huai continued to chop nuts. Although he had already chopped a lot, he would have to chop a little more. If he didn't prepare the ingredients, he would have to start boiling sugar for the filling. If the noise was too loud, Luo Jun would have to raise his voice to speak, and if the voice was too loud, he would easily get angry.

Qin Huai hasn't figured out how to take the bowl in front of Luo Jun without making any noise, lest he get scolded again.

"But when Kangdu has already successfully passed the tribulation, doesn't it mean that the gift is taking up an illustration column for nothing?" Luo Jun even had the leisure to care about Qin Huai's game system.

"It seems to be so at the moment, but it's okay and we can't say it's all in vain. Success is a good thing after all. Mr. Shi is a very nice person, enthusiastic and honest. In the future, we may really have to find him to supply seafood to Yunzhong Canteen." Qin Huai said.

The seafood produced by Dangkang Farm is of guaranteed quality.

"Anyway, Mr. Shi's illustration column currently shows that his memory is 0/0. Without memory, there is naturally no recipe, and there is no gift. I guess there is no gift. After all, I didn't help him wake up. According to the normal system process, I should help the monsters wake up to get their gifts. Now I haven't helped at all, so I am unworthy of the gift."

"And I haven't triggered any side quests related to him yet. Maybe there are no quests." Qin Huai said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the game prompt sound rang in Qin Huai's mind.

"Ding, congratulations on discovering a new side quest. Please check it in the game panel."

Qin Huai:?
What's wrong with you, game system? You have to go against your players, right?
Well done! Can we have two more side quests?

Qin Huai put down the kitchen knife, opened the game panel, and checked the newly acquired side quest.

[Side mission]:
2. [Dang Kang's Wish]: As a Dang Kang, Shi Dadan actually has no worries in his life. If he has to say what worries him, it is probably why his best friend Xu Nuo died in his previous life and whether the murderer has been brought to justice. In fact, Shi Dadan has always wanted to find out the truth over the years, but he is worried that the process of finding out will affect his state of mind, causing him to fail after finally overcoming the tribulation, and he has been cowardly and has not taken any action. Please help Shi Dadan find the truth and fulfill Dang Kang's wish.

Mission rewards: [Dang Kang's gift], [A random recipe given to you by Dang Kang]
Qin Huai:!
Game system, you really do what you say, is your side quest announcement voice-controlled? If you don't mention it, I won't give it to you. Luo Jun and the other two didn't say anything. They saw Qin Huai's empty action and knew that Qin Huai must have triggered the side quest and was checking the quest details.

Qin Huai read the mission details but did not read them out immediately. He tentatively asked the air: "I think Dang Kang has another side mission."

"How about a main quest?"

"If that doesn't work, Wang Gensheng's side quest will work too."

"Gong Liang's should be given. His side quests haven't been updated for a long time."

"If it doesn't work, any other one will do, it can be a side quest or a main quest, or a hidden quest. Games usually have hidden quests."

Three people:......

Qu Jing was stunned and asked Chen Huihong uncertainly: "Sister Hong, when did Qin Huai's system have customer service? Is he discussing it with the customer service?"

Chen Huihong: "...We, the spirits from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, should not interfere in matters related to the system text."

Triggering the mission failed, Qin Huai had to accept his fate and read the newly triggered side quest to everyone. Chen Huihong nodded repeatedly, indicating that this was in line with Dang Kang's character.

Curious but timid, and lazy at the same time.

"But I actually have another question." After discussing the side quest, Qin Huai had completely completed the preparation of the ingredients. Unable to delay any longer, he turned on the range hood and prepared to boil the sugar.

Before lighting the fire, Qin Huai did not forget to flash out and take away the three bowls of rice cake soup on the table without saying a word. It was obvious that he was diligent and loved to clean up.

Luo Jun and Chen Huihong didn't touch their rice cake soup, but Qu Jing had almost finished hers. Xiao Niao was honest. She could have just tasted it if she wanted to know the taste, but Qu Jing ate all of it.

Qin Huai started to boil sugar.

"You keep saying that the tribulation of auspicious beasts is either very easy or very difficult. I think that Dang Kang, who I think is not too difficult, is already difficult. But you think that the manta ray, which I think is quite difficult, is just okay. Do different auspicious beasts have different difficulty standards?"

Qin Huai's question directly touched upon the knowledge blind spots of Qu Jing and Chen Huihong.

The two could only look at Luo Jun together. He was the only ferocious beast among the monsters present and had more say.

Luo Jun did not give a direct answer, but asked Qin Huai: "What do you think is easy and what is difficult?"

"It seems difficult for Qu Jing to overcome the tribulation, but the method to break the impasse is always with her."

"Chen Huihong's tribulation seems ordinary, but she remained confused until her last life. If she hadn't met you, I can't imagine how she would have succeeded."

"I won't talk about mine."

"You think Chen Gong's tribulation is difficult, but you are thinking from a human perspective. From the perspective of a spirit, I believe that no one would think his tribulation is that difficult."

"You think it's easy to be Kang, but there are things he doesn't want to tell you."

"The reason why spirits and monsters survive tribulations is that they can't get over the hurdle in their hearts. Regardless of whether they are on the path of compassion or the path of cruelty, aren't there only a few who can achieve the Great Way in the end?"

The roar of the range hood covered up most of Luo Jun's voice, and also covered up Qin Huai's answer.

"Mr. Luo, you cursed in the group because you read the novel recommended by Sister Hong."

Unfortunately, Bifang has very good hearing.

Luo Jun took a deep breath and roared even louder than before: "Qin Huai, are you sick too?"

"He peeks at the screen every day, doesn't do his work, is the most active in video chats, and only replies to messages when you @ him. The group leader is amazing!"

"The ingredients for tangerine peel tea are right on the kitchen counter. Are you blind? You've been in the kitchen for an hour, didn't you see it? All you do is chop and chop. Isn't it time to improve your knife skills? The more you improve, the slower you get. Why are you dawdling in my house?!"

"After I finish this shit, I'll make some tangerine peel tea!"

Qin Huai answered obediently: "Okay, Mr. Luo."

While Qin Huai was boiling sugar, Chen Huihong and Qu Jing took the opportunity to discuss spicy hot pot. When Qin Huai finished making the fruit filling, the topic of their conversation had become what to eat tomorrow morning.

During the time when Qin Huai was not in Yunzhong Canteen, the people in Zhiweiju did not stop the King of Rolling Competition. On the contrary, because Qin Huai was not there and no one reminded them not to be so rollicking, they became more and more rollicking.

At the beginning, breakfast was served according to Qinhuai’s meal time. Now the first batch can be eaten around 6:, which greatly enriches everyone’s breakfast variety.

Qu Jing eats at Yunzhong Canteen every day and recently fell in love with the rice noodle rolls made by an apprentice who never had a name.

Chen Huihong felt that Su Gan's cooking skills were better. Since Qin Huai was not in the Yunzhong Canteen, Su Gan did not have to please Master Qin by making three-spice buns, which he was not good at. Instead, he focused on his best pastry, which he almost got killed by Pei Xing.

If Pei Xing’s dim sum had not been discounted with meals at 7pm every day, his lotus pastries would have been unsaleable.

Su Gan basically doesn’t serve breakfast, but only serious snacks, and usually has to wait until 10 a.m. to sell the first batch.

Chen Huihong has time and the place is close by, so she sneaks into the cafeteria to have snacks at 10 o'clock every day. Her life can be said to be very comfortable.

Later in the conversation, Luo Jun even joined the group chat.

He first praised Su Gan's craftsmanship in making pastries, and then criticized his pastries for being too dry. He couldn't eat them at all since he hadn't had any tangerine peel tea to drink recently.

Qin Huai, who was mixing the stuffing in the kitchen: …

I know, I know. The tangerine peel tea is already stewing.

Bifang, you should just curse people. It is more acceptable than being sarcastic and indiscriminately criticizing people.
