Apocalypse: I became rich by selling zombie live broadcasts

Chapter 78 Methods of enhancing superpowers

Wu Hongru carefully looked at the ingredients and nodded: "It can be done."

He pointed at the jerky and said, "You can moisten it to soften it before cooking, or roast it to heat it up and crisp it up, then pound it to loosen it up."

"So it has to be roasted first? I used to just hit it with a meat hammer, but it was so hard that I had to hit it hard for a long time. The noise was loud enough to attract zombies." Shi Nianzhen said in surprise.

Wu Hongru said, "This is air-dried meat, so it's quite tough. Just patting it won't soften it much. Even if you pat it loose, the meat will still be quite tough."

Shi Nianzhen nodded as he listened.

This is true.

She was starving at the time, but she promised the audience that she would eat every piece of food she bought, so she forced herself to eat it.

Later, he even bought ten pieces of dried meat for the Lord of the Abyss, which made her head buzz.

Wu Hongru made all the food according to his ideas.

Shi Nianzhen and Bei Mian watched from the sidelines. Wu Hongru was not afraid at all that they would steal his skills, and he explained as he went along.

For example, if you want the rich meaty flavor of dried meat, you can roast it and pound it into floss, just like meat floss. It can be eaten as a snack or as a side dish for porridge.

Wu Hongru made a dish of dried meat floss and added some spices to it to enhance the aroma of the dried meat.

Bei Mian and Shinian were licking their fingers while eating.

"It would be better if it was a little spicier." Bei Mian said.

"I think everything is just right." Shi Nianzhen took all the meat floss for himself.

"Hey, leave some for me." Bei Mian was a little slow, and just after taking a bite, Shi Nianzhen took the whole plate away.

Shi Nianzhen threw out ten pieces of jerky, slapped them on the chopping board, and said proudly, "Boss Wu, half of them are extra spicy, and half are mildly spicy."

Bei Mian: "Wow, the boss is so generous~"

Wu Hongru stared at the ten pieces of jerky and said, "Miss, I might not be able to take the photo today."

Shi Nianzhen followed his gaze and saw that the workers all had embarrassed expressions, and dared not speak out.

It's the end of the world. What they eat every day is barely enough to maintain their vital signs. How can they have the energy to cook five thousand dishes and then make ten strips of meat floss?
Doesn't she know how hard it is to beat that meat floss?

Shi Nianzhen pointed at Bei Mian and said, "It's okay, let Bei Mian take the photo."

Bei Mian glared at her, "You are so strong, but you let me do it?"

Shi Nianzhen: "It doesn't take that much strength to pat the dried meat. I provide the dried meat, and Boss Wu provides the cooking skills. You have the nerve to eat for free? Don't you have to do some work?"

Bei Mian was speechless and went to pat the meat floss without complaint.

For example, to enhance the flavor of a dish that doesn't have much flavor on its own, you can add flavor. Shredded vegetables can be enhanced with the rich, fresh aroma of dried meat, or the flavor of chives. Eggs can be made into scrambled eggs with chives, or steamed with dried meat or seafood for a more delicious dish.

Wu Hongru made a dish of shredded vegetables and dried meat, a dish of stir-fried shredded vegetables with leeks, and a steamed egg with shrimp.

Shi Nianzhen gave a thumbs-up while eating. "This shredded vegetable is smooth, tender, and fragrant. It's much better than eating it raw or chewing it dry. This egg is also better than boiled."

Bei Mian also nodded repeatedly, "I think it would be good to add shredded vegetables as vermicelli to the clam vermicelli."

"In the hot pot." Shi Nianzhen said.

"No!" Bei Mian refused sternly, "Hot pot~"

She had really eaten enough. Unless she starved to death, Bei Mian would never touch the hot pot.

"Miss, let me make it clear, you are in the end times, and you actually dislike hot pot? Isn't it time for you to starve to death?" Shi Nianzhen said.

"Anyone would get tired of eating hot pot for a month," Bei Mian said sternly. "When you have a choice, you'll definitely want to try something a little more varied."

"I'll be here from now on. You can come over anytime you want to eat." After Wu Hongru became a professional, he realized that Shi Nianzhen was definitely not just a person with special abilities.

She is still a professional!
Wu Hongru would definitely not miss this opportunity to build good relationships with them.

"Hey, where can I get over here?" Bei Mian said, gesturing with his hands while eating, pointing at Shi Nianzhen, "You can order takeout using live streaming!"

Shi Nianzhen nodded.

She felt that today was the happiest day since the end of the world. She never stopped eating and her stomach was always full.

Ever since the fire was lit in the kitchen, all kinds of delicious leftovers went into her stomach.

In the future, you can also order takeout. Whose end of the world can be more beautiful than hers?
Shi Nianzhen felt that everything was thanks to her career as an anchor. Thinking of this, she thought of the Lord of the Abyss.

He immediately started a live broadcast specifically for the Lord of the Abyss and sent him two portions of meat floss.

[What kind of thing is this? Showing kindness for no reason?] The Lord of the Abyss commented.

"Ha, now that I have something delicious, I want you to try it too. You actually thought so much of me! Am I that kind of person?"

Would she flatter her boss or something like that?
She will!

If she could remember.

Shi Nianzhen rolled her eyes at the camera, put down her chopsticks, switched to a knife and fork, and ate the jam and cream sandwich that Boss Wu had made with the star lantern fruit.

[Humph! I know you've been feasting and drinking, and you only thought of me now? It's too late.]

Shi Nianzhen paused chewing and looked at the camera with a guilty look on his face. "How did you know?"

【What do you think? 】

Shi Nianzhen's eyes rolled as she began to survey Wu Hongru's dining room and kitchen, from the decor to the kitchenware, from the faucet to the dishes and chopsticks.

I didn't see anything with dragon elements, so if I had to say something related to dragons, it would probably be the faucet.

"It's definitely not possible to see it through the faucet." Shi Nianzhen said.

[…Of course not.]

Shi Nianzhen glanced at Qin Kongwawa and asked, "Did your assistant complain to you?"

He tutted his words and pushed the Qin Kong doll in front of the camera. "Let me tell you, he was turned into this when he was dealing with Adam today. Even with this, he still has the nerve to complain to you?"

[…It’s easy to imagine, who else do we need to complain to?]

"Wow, boss, you're smart." Shi Nianzhen responded calmly, "Then what would you like to eat? You can order."

【Give me all the dishes you ate today. 】

"Five thousand is impossible. Boss Wu and his workers are exhausted."

[I mean, the food you made with mutated ingredients.]

"That can."

Wu Hongru cooked those dishes again.

He would only let her go after all of them were delivered to the Lord of the Abyss.

How do you plan to solve the problem of your assistant turning into a rag doll?

"Don't worry about that. I have my own pace." Shi Nianzhen pinched Qin Kong's doll's face, finished the last bite of the sandwich, burped, and finished eating.

Do you really know how to restore him?

"I know." Shi Nianzhen said with certainty.

Don't be too stubborn.

"Just watch." Shi Nianzhen stared at the Qin Kong doll, looking into its red eyes.

Suddenly, her expression became strange.

Shi Nianzhen blinked hard and rubbed his eyes.

in front of you,

Small firefly characters suddenly appeared, marked next to the Qin Kong doll.

The font is larger and clearer than before, as if it has been enlarged and bolded.

The color is also brighter than before. "Huh?"

Shi Nianzhen blinked, turned her head and looked away, staring at the remaining jam and cream sandwich next to her.

In the field of vision, there is a small fluorescent note:

(Starlight jam and cream sandwich.)
(A first-grade exotic food made from the first-order evolved Star Lantern Fruit. Its energy development level is 85%, and its energy absorption and utilization rate is high. Eating it can obtain a small amount of energy, which has the effect of enhancing extraordinary powers.)
(High value, you will make money if you buy it.)
Shi Nianzhen's eyes flickered and his hands began to tremble slightly.

These words didn’t appear when the dishes were served before!
Eating it can enhance your super powers!

The small firefly characters suddenly became larger and clearer. Was this a sign that her supernatural powers were getting stronger?

Most of the dishes made with the mutated ingredients just now went into her stomach. Did she become noticeably stronger after eating only five dishes?
The effect is too strong, it is more than just valuable!

She was sure that once this dish appeared on Blue Star, it would be extremely valuable.

Shi Nianzhen quickly turned his gaze back to the Qin Kong doll.

Firefly small print:

(The android that has been transformed into a rag doll is not a real rag doll. Its value cannot be simply equated with that of a rag doll; it also depends on the value of the android itself.)
(Unblocking is risky, so proceed with caution.)
Shi Nianzhen's eyes flashed, and he immediately noticed that the markings were different from before.

In the past, treasure appraisal would only mark valuable items.

For example, mutated plants and animals.

Now all the abnormal people who have been affected by it have been marked out.

Does that mean that if she encounters someone disguised as a doll in the future, she can detect it with a treasure appraiser?

"Wow~" Shi Nianzhen exclaimed softly.

"What's wrong?" Bei Mian asked immediately.

Shi Nianzhen looked up at her and was stunned for a moment.

Just then, a line of tiny firefly words appeared above Bei Mian's head:
(A human who has awakened water powers.)
(A professional singer praised by the law.)
(Belongs to the Abyss camp)

(The potential value is huge, so be sure to recruit.)
Shi Nianzhen opened her eyes wide.

What is this called?
My treasure appraisal ability has really gotten stronger.

Even the valuable people are marked out~

Shi Nianzhen lamented the perversion of treasure appraisal, and at the same time wondered if this could be considered a form of objectification of human beings?
In a blink of an eye, Shi Nianzhen's gaze fixed on Wu Hongru.

These changes were caused by eating his food, so his value must be high.

really.

The small firefly words above Wu Hongru's head read:

(A professional chef praised by the law, with culinary skills of perfection.)
(Unaligned Freelancer.)
(The potential value is large, so it is recommended to recruit.)
Looking at the reviews, it’s a little lower than Beimian’s, but not that low either.

Seeing Shi Nianzhen staring at Wu Hongru with his eyes getting brighter and brighter, Bei Mian suddenly felt a little creepy.

She looked at Wu Hongru.

Wu Hongru looks to be in his forties or even fifties. He has an elegant temperament, an unshaved face, and wears a chef's hat, looking neat and tidy.

With a depressed look on his face, he looks like the kind of uncle who is very attractive to young girls.

As the saying goes, to capture a person's heart, you must first capture his stomach.

Could it be that Shi Nian really fell in love with Wu Hongru because of his cooking skills?

Bei Mian glanced at the Qin Kong doll again.

What about Assistant Qin?
What will happen when he regains his human form and finds out that the person he likes has found someone else in the time it takes to eat a meal?

Assistant Qin's skills are very powerful, and Shi Nianzhen can't beat him.

It’s over, it’s over. Shi Nian really won’t play with fire and get burned, right?
Bei Mian was shocked by his own imagination.

Her expression turned serious, and she pulled Shi Nianzhen, "What are you thinking about?"

Shi Nianzhen glanced at her sideways, his already large eyes widening even wider with excitement, a little frightening. "I have a major discovery!"

"Enough to change the world!"

Bei Mian's heart was hanging in the air, not knowing whether to lift it or let it go. He asked, "What major discovery?"

Shi Nianzhen snorted and said to her, "Then what price do you want to pay for this secret?"

Bei Mian looked straight at her.

Ten seconds later, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it was a secret that required a price to know, it definitely wasn't something as bloody as Shi Nianzhen discovering that the person he liked was actually Boss Wu!

Good, the universe will not be destroyed.

She could still live safely in Shi Nianzhen's portable home.

Bei Mian picked up a handful of shredded meat politely and said, "I'm going to pay this much."

"Hey, hey, hey, it's okay if it's less, and that's my jerky." Shi Nianzhen protested.

"Then let me sing a song for you, young lady?" Bei Mian raised his eyebrows and teased.

Before my eyes, a red and black barrage suddenly flashed by:

[Your ability has improved? ]

"..." Shi Nianzhen looked at the barrage and brought the phone to him, "How did you know?"

Because I ate those dishes.

[Increasing superpowers by consuming mutated food is a very common way to enhance superpowers.]

"Oh, it turns out that we are the ones who are lagging behind in the end times." Shi Nianzhen said to the phone expressionlessly.

"Hey, tell me what you discovered?" Bei Mian said.

Shi Nianzhen glanced at her and then looked at Wu Hongru.

Wu Hongru just put down the spatula when he caught her eye. He had also heard their conversation and looked at her with understanding. "Do you want me to step aside?"

"No," Shi Nianzhen shook his head, "it's about you."

Wu Hongru looked puzzled and waited for her to continue.

"Stop keeping me in suspense," Bei Mian said.

Shi Nianzhen told them his discovery.

"Are you saying that eating these special energy foods will enhance special abilities?" Bei Mian picked up a piece of golden shredded meat in surprise.

Shi Nianzhen nodded, "After being cooked by professional chefs, the mutant food's ability development has increased, making the energy in the food easier to absorb."

Bei Mian frowned: "Then these things I hammered out cannot be developed?"

Shi Nianzhen looked at the shredded meat in Bei Mian's hand, and saw the small words written in Firefly:
(Small Hammer Water Rhino Jerky.)
(This is a first-class exotic food made from the meat of the first-level evolved animal, water rhinoceros. It has a supernatural energy development level of 65% and a qualified supernatural energy absorption and utilization rate. Consuming it can obtain a small amount of supernatural energy, which has the effect of enhancing supernatural powers.)
(High value, you will make money if you buy it.)
After Shi Nianzhen finished reading, he looked at the dried meat that had not yet been roasted. The markings in the small characters of Firefly were roughly the same as before.

Only the degree of development of superpowers has reached 60%.

She took out the first plate of small hammer dried meat that she had stored in her personal space before - made by Wu Hongru herself.

The rest are the same as the previous annotations, but the ability development degree has reached 85%.

When they told the other two about this discovery, they were surprised.

But Bei Mian thought it was reasonable.

"After all, our professions use different laws. If everyone cooks the same dish, how can we show the differences between the laws and professions?"

"So, from now on I have to cook by myself. Using an assistant will affect the development of my superpowers, which will in turn affect the value of the finished product." Wu Hongru said, looking at his hands.
