Problem Girls Strategy

Just like a wanderer can taste the food cooked by his mother in one bite, the ordinary bowl of barbecued pork rice given to the down-and-out food god contains the love and special seasoning that is hard to find in ordinary dishes.

If you want to make delicious food, you must put all your emotions into it. This is how Kokoro understood what he said.

So she was so focused on making breakfast that she didn't even notice Jiang Zao walking behind her.

"It smells so good. Let me guess, are you going to make soufflé pancakes this morning?"

"Ah!" Kokoro, who was concentrating on the pot, was startled and fell backwards, with her head resting on the strong and broad chest behind her.

Jiang Zao put his arms around her slender and soft waist, with an apologetic look on his face: "Sorry, I scared you."

"No...it's okay, I was just too immersed in it." Kokoro quickly stood up and used a spatula to turn the pancakes in the pan. "Master, you got up so early today. I wanted to wait until breakfast was ready before waking you up."

"We are leaving for Maple Sugar Valley today, so we got up a little early."

"Master... Master... that hand... that's around my waist... can you please let it go for a while? It's not easy for me to make breakfast with you like this... I definitely don't hate you or anything..."

"Ah! Sorry, it was so comfortable hugging you that I forgot to let go."

"My master sometimes teases me on purpose..."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Kokoro shook her head repeatedly: "Nothing, I'm going to continue making breakfast, Master, remember to brush your teeth and wash your face, and then help me wake up the others."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work in preparing breakfast." Jiang Zao really wanted to touch her head, but he pulled his hand back halfway. He remembered that Kokoro said that he did not allow her to touch her head when she was doing something, as that would make her forget the work at hand.

In order to eat normal food in the morning, it’s better for me not to touch my head.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zao left the kitchen to wash up, then knocked on the doors from top to bottom to wake up the other girls.

The girls opened the door in their pajamas and looked sleepy, which made him feel particularly fresh. Especially after they saw that it was him outside the door, the changes in their expressions could be watched like a movie.

At breakfast time, Huihui ate a soufflé pancake sprinkled with icing sugar and complained to Kokoro, "Why is it Jiang Zao who wakes us up today? He even snooped into the witch's dark library at will. This is too much!"

"Since I prepared the breakfast, let the master do it for me."

"Huh? You made this. It's delicious!"

"Thank you for the compliment. I just followed the master's instructions. Without his guidance, I would not be able to make this kind of dessert from another world."

Kailu sighed and held her forehead: "Here we go again, why do you always put compliments on Jiang Zao whenever you come across one?"

"Because it's true." Kokoro cut a small piece of pancake with a table knife, dipped it in the honey beside and put it into her mouth. The sweetness penetrated into her heart along her taste buds, making her eyes bend into crescent shapes: "Master has taught me a lot of things."

"That's because you learn things quickly, so I can teach you so much." Jiang Zao praised her and reached out to gently stroke her little head.

"Woo~ Master..." Kokoro's slightly red face was full of enjoyment, and she shook her body gently to indicate not to stop.

The master and servant started firing flash bombs as if no one was around, and their compliments to each other made Kael feel that the pancakes were too sweet even without the sugar.

The interaction between these two people is more like that of a couple, but they are not a couple. It is really unbelievable.

She thought it would be best to finish her breakfast quickly to avoid being too sick of the sweetness and being unable to eat.

Pekolim didn't say a word the whole time. She was enjoying eating one pancake at a time. She treated the interaction between Jiang Zao and Kokoro as a side dish and ate it with gusto.

Kaede finished eating early and went back to her room to pack her things. Huihui didn't have anything to pack, but she didn't want to stay in the living room and watch the two of them show off, so she ran outside to get some fresh air.

By the time Pekorim finished her breakfast, the others had almost finished packing. They put their belongings into the capsule house, which was convenient and quick.

"Here are the seasonings, here are the cooking tools..." Pekolim sorted out the large and small bags of items and put them away. Halfway through, she remembered that she was not going out on a long adventure alone like before. Now she had very reliable companions and there was no need to bring everything with her.

She had no choice but to put the things back where they were, and only took some seasonings, a few monster ingredient encyclopedias, and a change of clothes.

"Pekorim, haven't you finished cleaning yet?" Jiang Zao saw that she hadn't come out of the room for a long time, so he came in to check on the situation.

Pekolim smiled at him and explained, "I have packed it. I just prepared a lot of things as usual, and then I remembered that I was not adventuring alone, so it took me a while to put the things back."

"I see. Just put the seasonings and books in my storage space. Put the clothes and other things in the capsule house outside. Remember to pick a room."

"I see!"

Pekorim handed him the books and spices, walked outside with the clothes and bag, entered the capsule house and randomly chose a room to put them down. When she walked out of the room again, her companions were standing on the grass waiting for her.

"Everyone, let's go!"

"Too slow, we have been waiting for you for so long!"

"You didn't pack your things yesterday?"

“Meihui, Kailu, I’m sorry,” she said with a brilliant smile, “Let me make you a big meal for lunch and dinner today to make it up to you!”

Chapter 270 Bear Grylls Illustrated Book

Maple Syrup Valley is a valley where maple trees of various shapes and leaf colors grow. The maple trees here are called tri-color sugar maples, mainly because the maple syrup they produce has three colors depending on the type.

The first one, which is the most common in the valley, is the blue-leaved tricolor sugar maple tree, which produces light blue maple syrup with a light taste and lavender aroma, and is usually used in the most basic dessert making.

The second type is the red-leaf tricolor maple tree, which produces wine-red maple syrup with a rich taste and caramel flavor. Many wineries add this maple syrup to their wine to increase the flavor.

The third type is the orange-leafed tricolor maple syrup tree, which produces golden maple syrup. Because of its strong taste, it is called solar maple syrup and is used as an ingredient in healing potions and anti-cold potions.

After listening to Pekolim's introduction, Huihui was confused. Why didn't they just use maple syrup as the material to neutralize the sour taste, but chose those three hard-to-obtain ingredients.

After she expressed her doubts, Jiang Zao replied: "Maple syrup has its own unique taste and is not suitable as a neutralizing ingredient. However, you can consider adding maple syrup to develop different flavors after the cola is made."

Anyway, Jiang Zao was the one who made the final decision, so Huihui didn't ask any more questions. She just had to wait and drink her Coke.

Pekorim came close to Jiang Zao with a map in hand and said, "We are now in the plains of the royal city. It will take more than a week to get to Maple Sugar Valley. We will pass here, here, and here."

"Is there anything special about the three places you marked?" Jiang Zao noticed that there were three places marked with red circles on the map. He was very interested in this: "Could it be that they are the places where special ingredients are produced?"

"Hehe, your guess is correct. They are indeed special ingredients, but their taste and effects are still unclear for the time being."

"Are there any special ingredients?"

"The red fruit behind the bubble frog, the hot spring egg in the music hot spring, and the exploding potato."

"Hmm?" Jiang Zao took out the monster food illustrations that Pekolim often read from the storage space. He flipped through them carefully and found that the page with their names only had a few sentences of introduction and description, and there was not even a picture. He complained dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with this author? He didn't even give me a picture. It's just left blank."

Pekolim smiled sheepishly: "Hehe~ Because I have never seen those ingredients before."

"Ah?! These...these books were written by you?"

"Yeah, these are actually my travel notes."

"No wonder..." Jiang Zao asked why he had never found similar books in Landsol. He thought it was a limited edition book purchased by Pekolim in other regions. Now the truth is revealed and the author is right next to me. Who could have guessed this?

He closed the pages in admiration, then put them back into the storage space and gave a thumbs up, "Impressive, you can write several books. It seems that you are more gluttonous than I thought during your previous travels. But how did you get the pictures of the monsters?"

"Ah... that one, I took this photo with a magic item called a recorder that I accidentally got. Unfortunately, it was completely damaged on the way to Landsol, and the repair shop in the royal city said it couldn't be repaired."

"Is that so? From now on, let me take care of the photos. I also have similar tools."

"Really?!" Pekolim excitedly held Jiang Zao's hands, her eyes sparkling.

You know, it is really uncomfortable for her to encounter special ingredients but not be able to record their appearance. Now Jiang Zao actually has similar tools. How can she not be surprised?

"Look over there, there's a little flower, right?" Jiang Zao pointed at the wildflowers on the roadside, then took a picture with his personal terminal and chose to print. A laminated photo appeared in his hand. He held the photo and shook it at Pekolim: "Look, this is its photo."

"Wow! That's amazing, how did you do that?"

"Well... I don't understand the specific principle, just think of it as Synapse's black technology."

When the other girls saw this magical scene, they all came over to look at the photos.

Pekolim looked at the clear photo and said to Jiang Zao, "I am increasingly curious about what your world is like. You can actually create photos out of thin air. That technology, called black technology, is really amazing!"

"You'll see it when you get the chance." Jiang Zao wasn't sure whether this world would be integrated into the main world after the mission was completed. After all, he came here to kill viruses, not to solve the integration problem.

If they don't merge into the main world, then ask the boss for permission to travel through time and bring them here to have a look. Anyway, the main world was originally intended to be a bridge to communicate with other worlds.

Upon hearing this, Pekolim glanced at him meaningfully, then quickly looked away: "Well, I am looking forward to that day."

After looking at the photos, Hui Hui ran to Jiang Zao and tugged at his sleeve: "Jiang Zao Jiang Zao! Can you take a photo of me too?"

"No problem, what kind of photo do you want to take?"

"Of course it's how cool I look when I cast explosion magic!"

After she finished speaking, she raised the [True Crimson Flame Staff] and was about to chant explosion magic to release it far away, but luckily Kael was quick enough to cover her mouth.

"This is the main road! If we use explosion magic nearby and destroy the road, we will be wanted by the Adventurer's Guild. Do you want us to go to jail with you!?"

“Mmmmm!!!” Huihui nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood.

Jiang Zao sighed helplessly: "You should just get into a magic-releasing pose, Kailu, thank you for stopping this idiot in time."

"Who...who is the idiot?"

"The one who is almost wanted is a fool."

“Hmm…” Huihui puffed up her face: “I…I was just excited at the moment. I will definitely not do this next time.”

Kailu stared at her with her emerald eyes: "Do you want to have another time?"

“There won’t be a next time... I swear!” Hui Hui said, and quickly found a boulder nearby, climbed up on it, and raised her magic wand to point forward: “Jiang Zao, hurry up! This is the pose, take a picture of it for me!”

"Okay, don't talk, and control your expression," Jiang Zao controlled the camera and pointed it at her who was trying to look majestic and majestic, and pressed the shutter: "Okay, it's taken."

“Oh!” Huihui jumped down from the rock and happily took the photo to admire the domineering figure in her eyes.

"Master, this is a rare opportunity, why don't we take a group photo?"

"Good idea, Kokoro!" Pekolim was the first to agree. Without any hesitation, she pulled Kailu over to Jiang Zao and said, "Meihui, come over here and take a photo!"

"I'm coming!"

"I said...can you let go of my hand..." Kailu was not used to being held so intimately by her.

"Look ahead, I'm going to shoot...3, 2, 1!"

Chapter 271 The murder weapon, so terrifying

“This photo must be preserved.”

"Yes, it is a very precious treasure."

"Haha, did you see that? My handsome eyes are still emitting light that penetrates the sky even in the daytime!"

"Don't be so excited next time. If I hadn't taken the photo at a good time, the red light in your eyes would have covered your entire face in the photo."

"Hey, is that so?"

Unlike other people who were excited to receive the photo in the Food Hall, Kailu had an awkward expression when she received the photo. On the one hand, she didn't want to get too deeply involved in this destined to be false and meaningless companionship, on the other hand, she longed for this kind of beautiful relationship that made her feel warm in her heart and even wanted to maintain it.

The conflict between the two ideas made her very conflicted. In the end, she took the photo handed to her by Jiang Zao on the grounds that "if I don't accept the photo, I will be suspected". After taking a look at it, she put it in the close-fitting pocket of her clothes.

It’s incredible...it’s just a photo, but I feel so warm in my pocket.

After taking the group photo, Jiang Zao and Pekolim began to discuss the route again. He pointed to the first red circle and asked, "What are the special ingredients in this place?"

"It's the fruit behind the Bubble Frog."

"Doesn't this fruit have its own name?"

"No, because no one eats that kind of fruit."

"...Are you sure that the fruit is not poisonous?" Jiang Zao was embarrassed. He didn't expect that Pekolim, a foodie, would even try things that no one has ever eaten before. Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs before him, and Pekolim tasted hundreds of fruits after him. This spirit of exploration is indeed admirable.

When it comes to foodies’ thirst for knowledge, I, Jiang Zao, would like to call you number one!

"It shouldn't be poisonous. According to people in the nearby villages, other monsters prey on Bubble Frogs, and they don't show any signs of poisoning."

Is it possible that the monster has evolved corresponding antibodies to the toxin?

Jiang Zao thought about it and decided not to bring up the theory of evolution, a conjecture that did not conform to the magical world. There were so many strange animals and plants in this world, and bringing any one of them back to the main world would cause a scientist who studied the theory of evolution to have a cerebral hemorrhage.

"Then let's go to the area where the Bubble Frog appears."

Pekolim tilted her head and blinked her pure blue eyes in surprise. "Is it really possible? If we go there, it will take longer to reach Maple Sugar Valley."

"We are called the Palace of Food. It's no problem for us to go on a long journey just for delicious food. We should go see not only the Bubble Frog, but also the Musical Hot Spring and Exploding Potatoes!"

"Won't this take too long on the road?"

"Pekorim..." Jiang Zao smiled and patted her shoulder. "Maple Syrup Valley will not disappear. If we rush to get there quickly, then this adventure will be meaningless. The scenery along the way is also worth stopping to appreciate. There are still many blanks in your food illustrations, so let's fill in the blanks together."

"Yes!" Pekolim nodded heavily with a dazzling smile. Jiang Zao's words reminded her of what her parents had told her when she started her adventure. She should observe the scenery with her own eyes and measure the world's journey bit by bit with her footsteps. This was the true meaning of her adventure.

After returning to Landsol and experiencing the incident that frightened her, she indeed forgot the meaning of adventure and travel and began to focus on the results themselves. If Jiang Zao had not enlightened her, she might have missed many things that were worthy of her attention.
