The North American Gourmet Demon Handbook

Her voice had an almost insane tremor, and every word was filled with the enthusiasm of being "chosen" and the satisfaction of being "exclusive".

"You...you truly acknowledged Jennifer! You truly regarded Jennifer...as your private property!"

"Only with your permission can Jennifer...can only completely and thoroughly...show you my humility, my submission, my...my everything!"

Li Shanze looked at Xia Li, whose face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and waved his hand quickly.

"Okay, now, the punishment officially begins. Go and complete the task I assigned you."

Following Li Shanze's command, Jennifer's frenzied demeanor suddenly subsided. She calmly stood up and removed the chain from her neck, seemingly returning to being the CBS anchorwoman who graduated from Columbia University.

The enthusiasm in her eyes was replaced by a cold, sharp focus.

The pupils, which were originally dilated due to obsession, shrank in an instant, becoming as precise and insightful as an eagle.

The fanatical admiration for Li Shanze did not disappear, but was deeply suppressed and restrained, deposited in the deepest part of her eyes, and transformed into a silent and absolute execution power.

The muscles on her face, which were twisted by the intense emotional fluctuations, relaxed and stretched at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The purple forehead from kowtow looked a little out of place on her face now, but her expression had completely returned to calm, and she even had a perfect, professional smile.

It was a flawless smile, honed in front of the camera—warm and refreshing, but impersonal, with a touch of professional distance.

Her tone also instantly changed from the hoarse, broken, and fanatical tremolo roar to a clear, steady, and magnetic mezzo-soprano.

Every word she spoke was clear and melodious, at a moderate pace, with an unquestionable sense of authority and professionalism, as if she were sitting in a live news studio, reporting the most important news to a global audience.

"Yes, Master." She replied softly, without a trace of hesitation or emotional fluctuation in her voice, only absolute obedience and efficiency.

She casually placed the chain in her hand on the table beside her, then nodded slightly. Her gesture was neither humble nor arrogant, but a standard response of a well-trained subordinate when accepting a task.

She seemed to have become the CBS anchorwoman who graduated from Columbia University again, a calm, wise and highly capable professional.

However, Li Shanze could still barely catch a glimpse of an imperceptible, extremely suppressed enthusiasm and expectation from the depths of her seemingly calm eyes - that was the desire for punishment, the longing for solitude, and the endless expectation of being able to show her true nature in front of her master again after completing the task.

Otherwise, Li Shanze would really suspect that the crazy woman he just saw was an illusion.

When Li Shanze thought about having Jennifer, a professional wizard from the Delusional Society, to fight against Marco Giuseppe Romano, he felt that the plan he and Cyrus Morton had agreed upon was more certain.

315 Countermeasures

Jennifer, who has regained her elite white-collar aura, is full of fighting spirit.

She is currently sitting in a minimalist-decorated room, full of energy.

The room is bare-bones, with just a tablet and a laptop where she browses news snippets, social media posts and video clips.

Her fingers slid lightly across the screen, and the information on the screen enlarged, shrank, and switched accordingly. Her movements were precise and efficient, with the calmness and precision of a surgeon.

Jennifer had to admit that the hostess decorated a room similar to her working environment, which did make it easier for her to get into the state.

In reality, what Jennifer didn't know was that Charlie still felt upset when she saw her, so she arranged a room and sent her away.

After all, the RV was messed up like this to save Jennifer.

Although Charlie had no hesitation in saving the person, since the person was saved - even if it was a mentally ill patient, it could still be considered saved. While Charlie was cleaning up the mess, she couldn't help but look at Jennifer's nose and eyes.

The RV can still be used, but most of its functions have been damaged. Charlie must renovate it according to the manuscript left by her teacher.

Fortunately for Xia Li, the library where the manuscripts were stored was not affected and was not destroyed by Li Shanze's cough that dispelled the witchcraft.

Jennifer had no idea that her mistress had a lot of opinions about her - perhaps knowing that would make her look forward to the punishment even more - and at this moment she had devoted herself to the work assigned by her mistress.

Jennifer's eyes were as sharp as a knife due to her extreme concentration. There was no longer any fanaticism in them, but instead a kind of intelligent and thoughtful scrutiny.

She quickly browsed through the texts and videos affected by the "Emotional Resonance Runes", her brain working rapidly, analyzing the structure of the runes, the flow of energy, and how they resonated with human emotions.

Her expression was focused and serious, and she would occasionally frown slightly, which was the result of thinking when encountering a difficult problem, rather than emotional fluctuations.

“The core is to amplify and guide emotions…” She whispered to herself, using language to sort out her thoughts.

"The brilliance of Marco Giuseppe Romano's witchcraft lies in the fact that it does not directly create emotions, but rather utilizes the existing emotional bed and, through a specific rune structure, amplifies, distorts, and guides them in the direction he desires."

"This saves a lot of mental energy, allowing for efficient and quick casting."

She stopped what she was doing and her eyes fell on the short videos on the screen that were contaminated by emotional runes.

The content of these videos varies, including inflammatory news commentary, seemingly harmless pet videos, and even simple life sharing.

But without exception, in the eyes of Jennifer, who is also a spiritual wizard, they can be easily distinguished as carrying some subtle and disturbing witchcraft frequency, vibrating silently and affecting the minds of the viewers.

"How can we counter this?"

"These media outlets have undoubtedly been bribed by the three major pharmaceutical companies—or rather, Romano—"

At this point, Jennifer's eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's right! TikTok! The owner said this social media actually comes from his country! The country that the United States has erased from the minds of all Americans!"

After making sure that Jennifer's emotions had stabilized again, Li Shanze simply told her the answer to why she went crazy in order to prevent her from having another attack.

The effect is also extremely amazing.

For Jennifer, nothing is more disgusting than "memory modification" and "mind tampering".

After all, she herself is a spiritual wizard, and the thing she hates most is having her memory modified.

Her body began to tremble slightly, not because of fear, but because of extreme anger.

The aura of the originally neat and elite white-collar worker was now enveloped by an almost tangible murderous intent.

Her eyes became extremely cold, like two poisoned daggers, piercing straight at a certain point in the void, as if her most hated enemy was standing there.

But she couldn't clearly tell who her hated enemy was. It could be the Nine-Man Federal Grand Wizarding Group, or it could be an abstract concept - the US government.

The master must have come from his "Ogre Kingdom" to overthrow the American government! At the very least, he will try to make his country's name appear again in the world!

If Li Shanze knew what Jennifer was thinking, he would definitely say that you really overestimate me.

However, Jennifer was now immersed in the fantasy of following her master Li Shanze to overthrow the US government, which would allow her to vent her anger.

Li Shanze didn't expect that the perfunctory "truth" of "TikTok actually comes from the country of cannibals" would make Jennifer even more loyal and fanatical.

Based on Jennifer's loyalty, Li Shanze felt that there was no problem in directly telling her the name China.

The reason why Li Shanze did not mention China directly was that he was worried that this word would completely destroy the RV.

"TikTok..." Jennifer whispered the name with a hint of amusement in her tone, "A platform that the US government wants to control but can't, a short-form video platform where information flows like a flood and spreads virally."

She began typing away at the keyboard, constructing her counter-plan on the computer.

She imagined that if Romano's witchcraft was to use emotional resonance to "infect" the public, then she could use the characteristics of TikTok to do the opposite and "purify" or "counter" this infection through short videos.

"Short videos have a fast pace, high information density, and strong visual and auditory impact, making them the best medium for embedding runes."

She muttered to herself while simulating various short video templates on the screen.

“I was able to design a range of seemingly harmless, even entertaining content, such as popular dance challenges, cute pet stories, life hacks, and even seemingly nonsensical jokes – all thanks to Romano’s inspiration for embedding runes between the lines of news.”

Her fingers danced in the air, outlining intricate runic structures.

These runes are no longer directly offensive spells, but are more like "cognitive reconstruction" and "emotional counseling" types.

She plans to embed these runes into the video’s visual elements (such as background patterns, flashing frames, specific color combinations), as well as audio elements (such as the specific frequency of background music, changes in the tone of human voice, and even some faint sound effects that can only be captured by the subconscious mind) in an extremely covert way.

“When people watch these videos, their subconscious minds are unconsciously influenced by our runes.”

Her voice held a confident calm.

"If Marco's runes amplify fear and anger, then our runes can induce questioning, calmness, and even a kind of mockery of absurdity. They can subtly cause those who have been deceived to begin to doubt the information they receive."

"As for how to promote Tiktok... I remember the master said there was another bitch who was a hacker. She should also serve the master."

Obviously, Jennifer naturally understood that Li Shanze's "hacker friend" Ai Kou was a person like her.

Jennifer's breathing became a little rapid at this moment. Deep in her eyes, the hatred for "memory tampering" did not subside, but was ignited by a new, more secret flame.

Jennifer's brain was working fast, and she cleverly connected the "hacker with a criminal record" mentioned by Li Shanze with her own situation.

"With a criminal record...out on bail...recruited by the FBI..."

She silently repeated these words in her mind, and each word was like a soft feather, gently brushing against the most sensitive nerve deep in her heart.

Her fingers clenched unconsciously, as if she could feel some cold, restraining touch.

It is an imagination of a powerful force being tamed. A hacker lady who pursues freedom and has an unruly soul has to lower her proud head and serve her "master" under the dual oppression of rules and power.

The corners of her mouth curled up in a very shallow arc with a hint of morbid excitement.

Her heart was filled with desire for the "perfect script".

An individual with extraordinary wisdom and rebellious spirit is forced into a desperate situation, and ultimately can only surrender to a stronger will and devote all his talents to it - in her opinion, this is such a fascinating play.

She could even imagine such a scene: a "free" soul who once called the shots in the digital world was now bound by invisible shackles. Her wisdom and skills were no longer used for her own benefit, but were completely subject to the orders of her "master".

That forced obedience and the efficiency that erupted in humiliation were undoubtedly the ultimate temptation for Jennifer.

She felt an indescribable urge, wishing she could be in that situation herself, or at least witness that tamed, ultimate obedience with her own eyes.

That desire ran through her spine like an electric current, allowing her to vaguely see the projection of her deeper desires in her "expectation" of Aikou.

"I gave her the task of analyzing TikTok's push strategy, speaking in a master's tone of command. I'm sure she'll be very grateful!"

Jennifer said confidently, so she turned on her phone and found the TeleGhost that her owner had installed for her.

Author's words: Thanks to Qianxiao Anran, Shisibushui, and Xiaopingguo112633 for their recommendations

I had some things to deal with at home yesterday, so I can only update once today. Please forgive me...

316 Complaint

Jennifer: Are you the hacker? The master said you would help me.

Ai Kou: (Confused) (Confused) Who is it? Are you Li's new friend? Why are all of Li's new friends named women? (Curious) (Chuckling)

Jennifer: I'm Jennifer. Now that the Master has commanded, you must immediately begin analyzing TikTok's algorithmic rules and paving the way for the spread of my runes. This is your duty.

Iko: (Frantic) (Frantic) Responsibilities? What responsibilities? What kind of weird name is "master"?

Jennifer: It seems you haven't figured out your place yet. As your master's tool, you have no room for bargaining.

Iko: (Frantic) (Frantic) Listen up! Master, what's going on? Why are you calling me Master Li? Is this some weird game?

Jennifer: I need you to start working immediately and spread those "purification" runes as quickly as possible through TikTok's recommendation mechanism to every terminal affected by Marco's witchcraft.

Aikou: Tools?! (Shocked) What are you talking about? Did you get something wrong? I'm just a jobber. I do the work for Li and then ask him for money! (Greedy) (Greedy)

Aikou is still confused. She doesn't understand the situation at all - of course, Jennifer's strange condition is probably not so easy to understand.

Aikou is a hacker, a digital nomad pursuing ultimate freedom.

Her world is filled with the logic of code, the flow of data, the pride of "I can do something" and the temptation of money.

She could help Li Shanze because she and Li Shanze were friends - although they had never met before, they got along well.

But "master"? To her, this word seemed like an antique from the slavery era of ancient Rome, or a childish setting in some inferior online novel.

Iko subconsciously thought Jennifer was joking, or playing some kind of "role-playing" that she completely couldn't understand.

That's why she made a little joke, saying that she asked Li Shanze for money - in fact, she did not ask for any compensation for her help to Li Shanze.

Ai Kou couldn't help but wonder if this woman had watched some strange drama recently and was too immersed in it?

In Aikou's opinion, how could anyone willingly find a "master" for themselves? Wouldn't that turn them into pets?

However, unfortunately, Jennifer's arrogant nature as a second-generation witch, which completely disregarded others, broke out again. She didn't even have the patience to carefully read what Ai Ko typed.

Haha, we are all bitches, I must be more favored than you, a disobedient one.

Jennifer thought so.

Li Shanze actually just misunderstood Jennifer and mistakenly thought that she had become normal.

Although Jennifer's thinking has become more logical, her arrogant and abstract attitude in dealing with people has not diminished at all.

It’s just that Li Shanze has become the master in his ecological niche now, and has become an existence that Jennifer needs to pay full attention to, so he can’t feel Jennifer’s contempt.

However, Ai Ko, who Jennifer considered to be in the same "ecological niche" as her, was naturally not exempted.

Seeing that the other party refused to cooperate after all her talk, Jennifer became furious.

Jennifer: You stupid dog! Didn't your master tell you that you were recruited to help me complete this mission? Now, immediately, I want the most detailed TikTok promotion strategy!

I want to see how far you can refuse to cooperate! I will make sure that the master punishes you severely!
