Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 121 120. You can’t hide for long in this situation (sad)

Compared with so many people under him, it is rather troublesome for Sefer himself to test his cooking skills.

Simply put, he had to deliver the things to the main control cabin, then take the backup body offline, switch to the main body, and leave the jar. During this process, it would be best not to be discovered.

Being caught red-handed by Dr. Mei before was... an accident. Now that I'm fully prepared, I think I have enough time while everyone is having dinner in the restaurant.

Anyway, back in the main control cabin, Seifer had a sudden idea, sat cross-legged on the ground, and then chose to disconnect the backup body.

This also saves a table! I'm so smart.

Seifer's thoughts were instantly disconnected, and then he understood again. As he opened his eyes, the tank opened its protective plate. The first thing that permeated his nostrils was a familiar fragrance.

It's hard to describe the smell of many dishes in one word, because this is a filling main course that makes people happy just by looking at it, and it can even be said to be a staple food.

As he gently fell from the can, the cold floor made Cypher shiver uncontrollably. The residual heat of the desert at night dissipated quickly, and the temperature circulation in the car body was basically maintained at a relatively low temperature.

It was natural to feel cold, especially since I was wearing pajamas that looked very light and had no protective effect.

Holding the hair, Seifer walked quickly to the temporarily stopped spare body and looked it up and down curiously for a while.

Looking at his own backup from this perspective, he felt it was dangerous. The power and strength brought by the pure mechanical beauty was beyond the reach of mere flesh and blood.

Although it is in a quiet state now, if it suddenly loses control, my small arms and legs will probably die immediately.

Then look at the dish from its hometown that it is holding in its posture: pork stewed with vermicelli.

"Pork" is seasoned meat, and those who know what it is know it all. Vermicelli noodles are also made using technology, so at least the taste is the same.

Sefer took a sip of the soup with the cutlery provided by the dining car.

Then he frowned.

The taste wasn't right. Although the machine had prepared the dish according to weight and proportion, since it couldn't taste the food, many parts weren't good enough, so the overall taste was... average.

She sucked the vermicelli hard into her mouth. It was so small that she could only chew it with her cheeks puffed up. She felt quite dissatisfied.

I don't use my body much, so a lot of things need to adapt. For example, I used to be able to stuff large mouthfuls of food into my mouth, but now I can completely fill it up with just a small amount.

For example, the amount of food that I could swallow smoothly with just a little effort before, now I have to wait for a long time by stretching my neck - I can only adapt to it slowly.

While eating the meal he cooked with a somewhat dissatisfied look on his face, Sefer made a brief comparison in his mind, and then inadvertently realized... Could it be that only when his original body cooks the meal himself can he make delicious and authentic meals?
The machine's body, after all, has its shortcomings. After all, it doesn't need to eat, and it doesn't have the function of recording any recipes. After all, it is not a professional cooking robot.

After using various methods to convince himself to eat half a bowl, Sefer smacked his lips, very dissatisfied with this cooking experience, but he couldn't just ask everyone in the restaurant to leave and then cook it again secretly.

We can only talk about it later when we have the chance.

The reason why fried chicken, fried chicken nuggets, and burgers are successful is mainly because they are not complicated to make, and the taste is all due to the flavor and the excellent raw material of chicken.

The reason why Lin Shenxue ate so happily was probably because she was extremely hungry... I'm afraid she would even eat a bowl of white noodles without salt with relish.

After summarizing these experiences and preparing to return, Seifer suddenly frowned and glanced around the hall with his light gray eyes.

The dialog box beside him expanded, and after scanning the area to confirm that there was nothing in the hall, Seifer suddenly spoke: "Shengnai, are you nearby?"

No answer meant she was indeed not there - that was normal. No matter how strange her movements were, they had to follow common sense of physics.

If it's not in the scan, then it's not there! She should be busy counting medical supplies in the spare parts warehouse or something.

Finally relieved, Cypher turned around, forgetting his hair was too long, and stepped on it... His scalp ached, and he fell directly towards the spare body, which was still standing there silently. If he hit it, who knows how much scratches would be scratched on the surface of the body -

A pair of soft, powerful, and slightly cold hands suddenly rested on Seifer's back and shoulders.

The tendency to fall backwards was alleviated, but Sefer's heart rate suddenly started beating wildly. He didn't know the exact rate, but it was definitely at least 140 beats per minute.

Then came Shengnai's gentle voice: "Be careful, Sefer. If you fall and bump into something, you'll get hurt."

How did you get here? You weren't in the cabin a few seconds ago, and you didn't even open the airtight door!
Seifer stared at Shengnai blankly, her brain crashing, and maintained this posture for a long time, until Shengnai gently straightened her up and tidied up her long hair that could be used as a mop to avoid stepping on it.

"You...you keep appearing and disappearing like this. I'm going to have a cardiac arrest."

"I don't mean to scare you, Cypher. It's just an emergency. If I don't help, you'll get hurt."

He explained very calmly. Shengnai looked at Sefer carefully for a while, and even his way of speaking became softer.

Although he said that, he still felt something was wrong. Seifer crossed his arms and thought for a while. When his heartbeat calmed down, he realized - damn, I exposed myself.

She tried to appear calm. "When... did you realize that I actually have a real body?"

"Um—just now?"

It was a lie, but a white lie, told to avoid shattering Cypher's hidden confidence in himself.

Her eyes said so.

But how can human eyes speak?

"Because everything Cypher doesn't want to talk about is his secret as an independent mercenary. I'm just a field medic, so there's no need to ask so many questions."

Can she read minds...?

"I don't know. It's just my doctor's intuition. Many patients are too embarrassed to talk about their injuries or illnesses for various reasons, so reading their expressions is a necessary skill."

She can read minds!

Seifer covered his head and sighed deeply through his messy hair: "This is indeed... one of my secrets. I hope you won't tell anyone. If you keep this secret for me... well, I'll make you a dessert..."

"I never thought of telling anyone... But, Cypher can actually make desserts? He looks so young..."

Yes, he looks very young, but to be honest, this appearance is just a by-product of time travel. At his core, he is a working professional in his forties with a rich single life.

"Youth is about appearance, not knowledge. Anyway... when no one is around, I'll make you some dessert. How's that for a deal?"

"Of course you can. I haven't had dessert since I left school. I'm a little curious." Shengnai said with a smile. "But, Seifer is also very cute like this. Why do you want to hide it?"

I can't just say that I have the golden finger, and the golden finger will be invalid after I leave, so I have to stay in the jar. This sounds ridiculous, and it tends to tempt others to open the lid and get a prize.

So Seifer thought about it, suddenly opened his arms, and hugged Shengnai, who seemed a little caught off guard for the first time.

The girl's body smelled of disinfectant, but was soft.

"I... am in trouble."
