This pirate only wants to farm.

If Elizabeth finds it unacceptable, that's understandable. But if even the second mate and the boatswain find it hard to accept, then the problem today definitely isn't with them.

Look at this setup, look at this menu, it doesn't look like something an ordinary human could try, does it?

Fortunately, they all knew that the skeleton was just a coconut shell; otherwise, any person with a sound mind would probably have fainted from fright.

Elizabeth secretly observed her captain's expression, muttering to herself.

So the captain has finally stopped pretending?

This must be the captain's true aesthetic sense. Anyway, I knew all along that these were just ordinary ingredients. If I had seen these when I first boarded the ship, I probably would have starved to death rather than eat a single bite.

Thinking about it this way, the captain seems quite gentle; at least he only started revealing his wicked culinary skills now that I'm almost ready to accept it.

Hehe ~

Elizabeth's little head wandered off somewhere in her thoughts, and she ended up being the first person to sit down in the chair.

Wangcai and the skeleton exchanged a glance, and finally sat down together on the chair, each staring blankly at the food in front of them.

When Lin Qi saw his crew members looking like this, he frowned at first, wondering if they had underperformed today.

But when he saw the arrangement on the table, he almost couldn't hold back his emotions.

We're doomed.

I was so engrossed in my creative process that I didn't even realize I was using these things for plating.

It's really not my fault, it's all those little mushroom-shaped discs with human faces. When I saw them, I couldn't help but take out the skull coconut and plate it up.

This can't be my problem!

Lin Qi coughed lightly. At this moment, he absolutely could not admit that it was all his mistake.

"Try it all, I put a lot of effort into making this today."

The crew members exchanged glances, none of them daring to speak first.

This table of things looks so bizarre.

Those glowing shrimp balls and the human-face mushrooms churning inside the skull—they don't look like edible things at all.

The only normal-looking food on the table was a few baguettes that were roasted until they were hot and smelled delicious.

The crew members looked at each other, and finally they all turned their gaze to Elizabeth.

Unfortunately, everyone present had a position, except for Elizabeth, who was both a sailor and a farmhand.

Elizabeth trembled. Was this workplace bullying on the Hades?

Under pressure from the first mate, second mate, and boatswain, Elizabeth finally reached out her hand with trembling hands. After hesitating for a moment between the green-glowing shrimp and the bowl of little man soup, she ultimately chose the soup.

She took out a small spoon, tremblingly scooped out a tiny bit and brought it to her lips. After taking several deep breaths, she put it in her mouth and gently touched her tongue with it. Her expression was one of utter defiance.

But the instant her tongue touched it, Elizabeth felt as if a cannon called "umami" had fired a scorching shell that exploded on the tip of her tongue.

This little detail made Elizabeth's eyes widen instantly.

Wangcai and the two skeletons looked at Elizabeth with some worry, afraid that this fool would send them away.

They watched in as Elizabeth's face went from pale to rosy, and then they heard her exclaim with delight, "It's delicious!"

The salty umami of the ocean prawns and the sweetness of the face-shaped mushrooms, enhanced by a touch of spices, blended together to create a savory explosion. The rich prawn broth and the wonderful texture of the mushrooms were flavors Elizabeth had never tasted before.

Elizabeth took another big bite to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. This time, without any hesitation, she scooped up a small mushroom with a still-twisting human face and put it in her mouth.

With a gentle bite, the overflowing juice bursts forth between your lips and teeth.

The face-shaped mushroom has a firm texture comparable to Warcraft meat, with a chewy texture and a meaty flavor. You can even feel the mushroom dancing on your tongue.

Elizabeth took a bite, then happily cupped her face in her hands: "It's so delicious!"

Seeing that his cooking had finally been recognized, Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but his face still wore that quiet smile.

"If you like it, then you have to eat it all today, not a single bit left."

Seeing that Elizabeth didn't seem to be faking it, Wangcai and the two skeletons hesitated for a moment, then joined in enjoying the food.

Once they tried it, they couldn't stop, going from being cautious at first to wolfing it down.

Immediately afterwards, they turned their attention to the huge shrimp ball.

This time, Elizabeth didn't hesitate at all. She picked up a huge shrimp ball with her fork and put it in her mouth. This bite made Elizabeth's eyes widen completely.

She never expected that the glistening shrimp would have such an indescribable fragrance.

Moreover, the taste was so delicious that Elizabeth squinted her eyes, and her body felt warm, as if a warm current was swirling inside her.

Lynch had been observing Elizabeth's performance, and at that moment he noticed a faint wisp of black smoke rising from behind her.

This discovery immediately dampened Lynch's cheerful mood.

So, it turns out there were already hidden dangers...

According to the corruption cycle, Elizabeth never exceeded the allowed time on the island, yet she still left behind some traces of corruption.

Although these traces will gradually disappear over time, no one wants this to happen.

Lynch glanced at Elizabeth to make sure there was no other black smoke on her, then breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had this tea, he no longer had to worry.

Stopping thinking about all that nonsense, Lin Qi began to focus on the food in front of him, and only then did he realize that it was actually quite good.

The atmosphere at the table, which was initially one of polite refusing to let anyone pass, has now turned into a scene of everyone vying for space.

The skeleton second mate and the skeleton bosun were fighting fiercely over the last piece of shrimp. Since fighting was not allowed on the table to avoid wasting food, the two of them actually tore off a rib and used it to poke each other's soul fire.

Elizabeth and Wangcai were arguing about whether to dip the whole baguette into the soup or tear it into pieces and soak it in the soup.

Because of this delicious meal, the captain's cabin of the Hades returned to its lively state, but it was precisely this liveliness that gave this seemingly gloomy and terrifying ghost ship a touch of humanity.

Lin Qi had long since finished his food and was sitting in the main seat, resting his chin on his hand and smiling as he looked at the four crew members.

That's what it means to live life.

Finally, all the food on the table was eaten clean, and both Elizabeth and Wangcai, holding their bellies and leaning against the wall, helped the captain clean up the table.

The blue-green aurora emanating from the giant shrimp lingered in the captain's cabin for a long time, but no one cared anymore.

However, in a corner of the captain's cabin that no one paid attention to, the crystal ball was emitting the same color as the aurora.
