Zongman: My Smart Group

The system, its eyes darting around, said, "Well... you know we share the same brain, so this kind of simple question is definitely no problem for us, so the answer must be wrong!"

Lin Mo: "Let's keep things separate. What I'm asking you now is why there are two different answers to the same question!"

System: "Sorry, the user you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later. Sorry, blah blah blah."

Lin Mo wanted to press further, but Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly said, "Alright, alright, it's about time. Let's hurry back to class."

Lin Mo nodded and turned to go back to the classroom.

On the way back, Lin Mo raised his middle finger and said, "Useless system, leave the group!"

The system got angry for a moment, since it was indeed its fault, so it quickly changed the subject and said, "Host, you still have one sign-in left today. Want to try a tense and exciting sign-in?"

Lin Mo snorted and said, "Sign in."

You inherently evil system brat, don't give yourself a chance, or I'll definitely teach you a lesson!

"bite--

Congratulations, host, you have obtained: 10 Flashbangs (White).

Seeing that it was just trash, Lin Mo cursed the useless system again and then ignored it.

Time flew by, and soon it was time for home economics class. This class involved cooking in groups of three.

Naturally, Lin Mo, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Megumi Kato decided to cook together.

Lin Mo rolled up his sleeves and said, "Looks like it's time to show my skills. I've been quiet for so long, it's time for me to make my move!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "I brought potatoes and beef. What about you guys?"

Kato Megumi: "I brought pork ribs."

After saying that, the two looked at Lin Mo. Lin Mo froze for a moment, then took out an orange and said, "I brought an orange, which can be used to fish out a doro."

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed and said, "Fine, just wait quietly over there. I'll invite you to try it when it's ready."

Kato Megumi: "It's cooler over there, you can wait there first."

Lin Mo said indignantly, "Why?! It's clearly a team mission for three people, why am I being excluded!"

Kato Megumi: "Don't be angry. I can share my ingredients with you. I'm not very good at cooking ribs anyway."

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Megumi Kato and said, "I can let you be my assistant, but remember, don't do anything reckless."

Lin Mo crossed his arms and sneered, "Too late! You used to ignore me, but now you'll be begging for my attention! It's time to show you the true essence of cooking!"

Kato Megumi tilted her head and said, "The true essence of cooking?"

Lin Mo: "That's right! That's the legendary glowing cuisine! It's divine cuisine where the chef infuses their emotions and essence into the ingredients, making them taste beyond the limits of the taste buds!"

Yukino Yukinoshita said expressionlessly, "Oh, then let's start cooking quickly. The other groups have already started. You go peel the potatoes first, and I'll marinate the beef."

Lin Mo struck a peculiar pose and said, "I refuse! I, Lin Mo, love saying no to arrogant people! I'm going to start my own business! I'm going to make the legendary glowing cuisine and trample you all under my feet, hahaha..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Ignore him, we can handle it ourselves."

After leaving the group, Lin Mo was just about to show off his skills when he discovered that he not only had no ingredients, but also no spare stove. It was a bad start.

Just then, the teacher came down to give some guidance to the students, leaving the podium empty. Lin Mo stepped up without hesitation and decided to make this place his kitchen!

But what ingredients should we use? Should we carve a flower out of an orange?

After rummaging through his inventory, Lin Mo couldn't find a single unprocessed food item. At this rate, he wouldn't be able to make anything, let alone glowing dishes. It was truly a case of failing before even getting started.

Having just finished instructing a student on how to cut vegetables, the teacher looked up and saw Lin Mo standing on the podium. Curious, she asked, "Lin Mo, what are you doing standing there? Do you have a question for the teacher?"

Lin Mo nodded and said, "That's right, I do have a question for you: how can you make a decent meal without ingredients?"

The teacher was stunned, completely baffled by the question. No ingredients to cook? What, do you want to cook microorganisms in the air?

The teacher quickly recovered and said with a smile, "It's okay if you forget to bring the ingredients. You can borrow some from others. Just remember next time."

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "Forget it. I don't want my glowing dish to be tainted by other people's aura. That would be imperfect! Teacher, you should go do what you need to do and don't disturb my thinking."

The teacher's lips twitched slightly, but in the end, she sighed and said nothing. After all, everyone knew Lin Mo's reputation now, and since it wasn't anything serious, she could just continue to perform her duties.

Lin Mo's mind was focused on his inventory, hoping to find suitable food, but he came up empty-handed.

"bite--

Sign-in task: Make a dish that glows.

Task Reward: One sign-in.

Seeing this task, Lin Mo felt even more worried. He hadn't even gotten the ingredients yet, so how was he going to make a glowing dish? Should he ask Yukino and the others to borrow some?

He immediately dismissed the idea. After all, he had just started his own business, and it would be too embarrassing to go back and ask them for ingredients right away.

After a long silence, Lin Mo's gaze finally settled on the flashbang that had just appeared after the sign-in.

It seems like this is the only way to go.

Chapter 123 Glowing Cuisine

Lin Mo held the flashbang tightly in his hand. The core of glowing cuisine lies in glowing, and the function of a flashbang is to glow. According to the Pythagorean theorem, isn't a flashbang also a kind of glowing cuisine?

Haven't you seen people saying "Take this flashbang!" when playing PUBG?

This further proves that flashbangs are food!

The equation was true, and Lin Mo immediately nodded in satisfaction. He was indeed incredibly clever, having found the only chance of survival in a seemingly hopeless situation!

Lin Mo looked at the students who were cooking with a mocking expression. Sure enough, being invincible is so lonely. He had already finished cooking, but they were only halfway done. Oh well, in order not to damage their confidence, he would wait until the end to show off his skills!

The aroma of food quickly filled the classroom. Everyone was almost at the last step. Lin Mo couldn't help but swallow as he smelled the tempting aroma of the food. He hadn't eaten enough at Hachiman Hikigaya's house this morning, and the smell of food made him hungry again.

Nutritional liquid? Even dogs won't drink that! They drink water all day long, I'm about to throw up myself! A can of nutritional food would be much better.

Lin Mo endured it with amazing willpower, after all, he couldn't make a fool of himself at this time, otherwise how would he show off later!

After a while, someone finally cheered, indicating that their dish was ready. Then, more and more people began to celebrate. Lin Mo simply closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind.

I'm not hungry! I'm not hungry! I'm not hungry! I'm not hungry! I'm not hungry! I'm hungry! I'm hungry!

Just then, Lin Mo felt someone nudge him. Looking closely, he saw that it was Kato Megumi who had come to his side.

Lin Mo feigned aloofness and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Kato Megumi, holding a bowl of pork rib soup, said, "This is the pork rib soup I made. I'd like you to try it. After all, didn't you say you could make glowing dishes? Please point out any shortcomings in my recipe."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and immediately said with a smile, "Then you've come to the right person! Who doesn't know that I'm known in the martial arts world as the Jade-Faced Appraiser? A mere bowl of pork rib soup, I'll finish it, you can have whatever you want!"

Before Kato Megumi could react, Lin Mo took a big gulp of water, gurgled in his mouth for a while, and finally swallowed it.

Kato Megumi asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

Lin Mo wiped his mouth and said, trying to sound strong, "Slightly hot."

Yukino Yukinoshita was a little slow because she was dealing with a lot of ingredients. Once she finished cooking, she immediately wanted to share it with Lin Mo, and that's when she spotted Megumi Kato.

when!

Yukino Yukinoshita's mind went on alert instantly, and she carried her potato and beef stew directly over.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Lin Mo, come and try my potato and beef stew."

Lin Mo, who had just burned his mouth, didn't want to taste it. He then pulled out a flashbang and shouted, "Come on! Everyone! All eyes! Look at me!"

This immediately attracted everyone's attention. Lin Mo stood on the podium and said loudly, "Do you know what the highest level of cooking is?"

"The highest realm?"

"Love box?"

"It must taste like mom's cooking!"

Seeing everyone chattering away, Lin Mo smiled confidently and denied, "None of you are right! The highest level of cooking is luminous cooking! And I, Lin Mo, a master chef, will show you this culinary legend!"

Everyone was also somewhat expectant: "What does this mean? Does Lin Mo mean you're going to show us some glowing cuisine?"

Lin Mo affirmed, "That's right! Everyone be careful, don't let the light blind you!"

The students didn't listen at all; they were extremely curious about what tricks Lin Mo would pull this time. Instead of being careful, they opened their eyes even wider.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Lin Mo's sudden outburst. Although she was very angry, she held back and turned to look at Megumi Kato.

I underestimated her before. I thought she was just an ordinary person, no threat at all. I never expected her to be so cunning. I was so wrong about her. She sneaked over without me noticing, and after making the food, she made sure Lin Mo tasted it first. If this continues, I'll be outdone sooner or later!

Kato Megumi tilted her head, as if asking herself if there was something on her face.

Yukino Yukinoshita withdrew her gaze and continued to look at Lin Mo as she listened to his speech. Then, her eyes inadvertently fell on what Lin Mo was holding in his hand.

what is this?

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a hand grenade.

Yukino Yukinoshita was startled by her own sudden thought. How could that be? Even if Lin Mo was an idiot, he wouldn't bring something as dangerous as a hand grenade to school.

That's what she said, but Yukino Yukinoshita still carefully observed what Lin Mo was holding. She didn't know much about weapons, so she didn't draw any useful conclusions.

Lin Mo pulled the safety pin: "Now I'll show you what glowing cuisine really is! Please enjoy—a flashbang!"

Oh, it was a flashbang, huh? Wait a minute! What's that flashing?

Everyone instinctively widened their eyes.

After estimating the time, Lin Mo threw it directly into the air, and everyone took a lot of damage.

A soft explosion rang out, and then the entire world was filled with white light! Looking around, the whole world had turned white!

"Eyes! My eyes!"

"I'm going blind! I'm going blind!"

"So big! So white!"

"I can't stop crying!"

"bite--

Congratulations, host, on completing the task and receiving the reward: one sign-in.

The scene immediately descended into chaos. Even Lin Mo himself was affected, not to mention Yukino Yukinoshita and the others. Although they didn't scream or shout, they couldn't stop rubbing their eyes and wiping away tears.

Lin Mo knew he was standing on the podium, so he didn't move around. He just squatted down and frantically called the system in his mind.

Lin Mo: "Useless system! You're like a flashbang, you don't even know how to turn off friendly fire! My eyes are almost blinded by your flashing lights, hurry up and compensate me!"

The system said speechlessly, "Flashbangs can damage people's eyes, let alone the fact that you've all taken the full damage. It'll probably take at least half an hour for you to fully recover."

Lin Mo: "I'm not here to listen to your explanation, I'm here to demand an explanation from you!"

System: "Instead of cooking honestly, you insist on doing something crooked, calling it 'glowing cuisine,' and now you're covered in injuries. And you can blame me? Host, you really only think about yourself. Fine, since you're my host, I guess this is all I can rely on for now. Want to sign in?"

Lin Mo quickly said, "Sign in, sign in!"

"bite--

Congratulations, host, you have obtained: 10 cans of nutritional supplements.

Good news, Lin Mo no longer needs to drink nutrient solution; bad news, the items obtained from signing in are of no use in resolving this incident.

Unable to bear the soreness in his eyes any longer, Lin Mo activated his Burst Power!

The effect was quite obvious; before Lin Mo could even take any action, his physical body automatically cleared away the abnormal state.

Lin Mo looked at everyone groaning in pain, his lips twitching wildly. Heaven knows how he had the brain fart to come up with such a bizarre method, using flashbangs as glowing food. How cool!

Of course, as cool as it is, let's get everyone back to normal as soon as possible.

Lin Mo snapped his fingers lightly, pushing the timeline forward by one minute, returning to the moment he wanted to set off the flashbang. Of course, he had already deleted the flashbang himself.

The bell rang again, and time resumed. Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Lin Mo rolled up his sleeves and confidently said, "Finally, I can properly show off. It's just glowing food, right? I'll..."

The quest has ended, and the anti-magic field is starting to exert its power again!

Lin Mo was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I'll do it right now!"
