"A little is not that little!"

The girl standing behind immediately rushed forward.

"Then, two tablespoons of cooking oil and white vinegar."

Lin Yi nodded slightly and took out the large spoon used to scoop soup from the stew, filled it with oil and vinegar and poured it directly into the pot.

"It's a spoon, not a soup ladle!"

The girl rushed forward again.

"Well, stir-fry over high heat, that's right."

"That's totally wrong. Stir-frying doesn't mean just turning the pan over. The food will all fall out. How can we eat it like that?"

Looking at the shredded potatoes that fell directly on the stove after Lin Yi flipped them violently, Iino was a little confused.

"Wash it again and fry it? It's almost like this before."

Lin Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with his process and just spoke calmly.

In fact, that's what he did just now. After confirming that the text on the tutorial said [Stir-fry over high heat], Lin Yi turned the fire on the stove to the highest setting, then turned the wok over so that the vegetables inside fell directly onto the stove. He then turned off the fire, washed the vegetables again, turned on high heat again and turned it over, and did not stop until he was sure that the vegetables were cooked.

"No wonder there are burnt parts... What on earth happened to these shredded potatoes in your hands? And there is a video tutorial, right? Why don't you watch how it is made in the video tutorial? Mr. Lin Yi, have you ever thought that there is something wrong with your approach?"

Iino spoke with wide eyes, waving her hands, while Lin Yi's expression became even more confused.

"I watched the video and learned from it. The dish I just made was the result of watching the video."

As he spoke, Lin Yi picked up his phone to show Iino the instructional video he had found, and then with his other hand he picked up the military flamethrower placed on the side of the kitchen.

"Wait, why would you need a flamethrower to cook?"

"Because when the other person was cooking, the pan caught fire, you see, but mine didn't, and I don't know why. But the effect must be the same, right? So I used the flamethrower to spray directly into the pan. Don't worry, I use a special flammable cooking oil that will not cause harm to your health. Eating this dish will not harm your body."

Lin Yi said this with a confident look on his face, and aimed the flamethrower at the shredded potatoes in the wok on the stove. Then he pulled the trigger, and the high-temperature flames instantly covered the shredded potatoes.

And in the video he mentioned, what Iino Miko saw was just a slight flame in the pan when the other party was stir-frying.

“So it’s not like that at all!!!”

The sound was so loud that even the neighbors could hear it, and Iino Miko's little face was completely puffed up.

"Cooking is not such a weird thing. Show some respect to the food. No, I have to supervise you until you finish cooking a dish. I have to let Mr. Lin Yi know what normal cooking is like!"

With full of confidence, Iino Miko took a step forward and stood in front of Lin Yi.

"... As expected, it still doesn't work. Am I the useless one?"

Then, after half an hour of teaching the analysis experiments several times in a row, Iino Miko sighed and chose to leave the kitchen and leave Lin Yi alone.

My master seems to have some minor problems with his cooking skills. Obviously, everything else is normal, so there won't be such strange problems, but it seems that cooking is the only thing that is completely wrong.

If we have to analyze it, Iino Miko suspected that Lin Yi's understanding of the lower limit of [food] was too different from that of ordinary people, so that even if he was carefully supervised and did not let Lin Yi do anything fancy, he still had no way to control the heat and the amount of seasoning. No, it's not that he had no way, it's that he didn't care at all. The girl had already seen that in Lin Yi's instinctive cognition, he really believed that there was no need to consider such things when making food, as long as it was edible.

This is a habit that is engraved in Lin Yi's instincts, and it seems to have been with him for many years, so that it is impossible to correct it overnight. He can clearly tell what delicious food looks like, but even if it is hard to swallow, or even garbage in the eyes of many people, as long as he is sure that it is edible, Lin Yi can eat it without changing his expression. This characteristic is reflected in cooking, which means that he completely ignores the details of the dishes and only pays attention to the most basic needs such as "whether it is harmful to the body" and "whether it can be eaten".

So there is no hope at all.

"Why does Mr. Lin Yi have such a strange physical instinct? Did he have the experience of wandering as a refugee in the past when he lost his memory?"

Iino Miko, sitting on a chair in the dining room, frowned, but couldn't figure out the reason.

However, because of the argument he had just had with him, Mr. Lin Yi seemed a little upset and now he continued to cook. He was determined to make dishes that satisfied him.

Well, I'll just let myself try it. I don't plan to come again...

"Since Iino doesn't like it, let's invite the neighbors to try it. Maybe they will be satisfied. Well, let's do it this way. It just so happens that I left their contact information some time ago."

"Wait wait wait wait a minute, don't invite your neighbors who you don't know very well to come for this kind of food tasting, I can do the tasting!"

Then, the girl who stood up because she couldn't bear to let Lin Yi drag innocent people into the water, spent the next three hours experiencing a disaster that was like being in hell.

Interlude 2-09: Terminator and Personal Vehicles

The day after Lin Yi tried to cook, Iino Miko added a lock to the kitchen door and said that if Lin Yi insisted on cooking, she would die in front of him.

So is my food really that bad? I can still eat it.

Lin Yi was very confused about the girl's reaction, and finally chose to compromise after struggling. After all, other people were so resistant to the food he cooked that he couldn't continue to insist.

What a pity, I clearly felt that I had great potential in this area.

Lin Yi felt very sorry about this and could only continue to do nothing and spend his daily life exercising.

Disassembling guns, maintaining guns, practicing shooting, practicing close combat, and searching for valuable items in the Savior community. It's not boring, but it's really bland and there's nothing worth mentioning.

Every morning, he wakes up at a fixed time and then does some simple morning training. System assistant Iino Miko will make some simple breakfast at this time. Although the kitchen is locked and Lin Yi is not allowed to enter, Iino will still use the kitchen to cook for Lin Yi. The morning is spent in the training ground of the Savior Community. At noon, he goes home to eat something casually. Then in the afternoon, he works in Kamijou Touma's shop. Then in the evening, he has dinner in the shop, and then stays in the training ground for a while. Finally, he goes back home, relaxes for a while, and then goes to bed.

It can be said that this is a very regular and healthy lifestyle, so regular that Lin Yi even wants to sing a Bible song.

Hmm, why the Bible chant? Is this something I remembered in the past but have now forgotten?

On the nineteenth day, Lin Yi went to Carl's world. This was his first time to visit another savior's world. However, although he said so, the world where this robot savior who called himself the Terminator lived did not seem to be much different from his own world. They were both very peaceful and ordinary, without wars or terrible natural disasters. There was nothing special about the world.

Carl's home is located in a secluded woodland in Texas, America. It is a single-family villa with a large garden and backyard, and even a shooting range. It can be said that it is a very standard American middle-class family, the kind of wealthy family that often appears in American cultural propaganda movies.

Carl in this world has a wife and a son who is not too old. Obviously, Carl, who is infertile, has no blood relationship with this family, but judging from the way they get along with each other, they are no different from a real family. In addition, Carl's job in daily life seems to be selling curtains, and he even seems to be quite proud of this job.

"I have taught many customers how to install suitable curtains. For example, 446 days, 7 hours and 23 minutes ago, a male customer wanted to install pure blue curtains for his daughter. I told him that this was a very bad choice and that he should choose decorative ones, preferably flowers or stars, which would be suitable for young girls."

Carl spoke to Lin Yi seriously, and he looked like an experienced curtain master, if such a title of curtain master really existed in this world.

If Lin Yi didn't know that Carl's flesh and blood body was actually made of steel, he would probably just think that he was a slightly weird old American uncle.

However, it was precisely because he knew the other party's true identity that Lin Yi could feel the slight gap between this man, Carl and the world. He did not find any country or organization in this world that could create an artificial intelligence like Carl. The technology content of this Terminator himself was obviously beyond the entire era. It was the seemingly ordinary America where he was located, which was something that no civilization on this planet could create. Moreover, after inviting Lin Yi to come as a guest, Carl also specifically asked Lin Yi not to reveal the fact that he was a robot in front of his family.

Could it be that he is also like me...

"My wife and children, who don't know my true identity, were once victims of domestic violence from their husbands. I rescued them and later became a family with them. They are very satisfied with their current lives and don't need to know anything about their rescuers."

When inviting Lin Yi to come over, Carl, who was wearing a floral shirt and looked like a retired old man, just said this to him.

"So, did you travel from another world to this universe?"

Lin Yi, whose interest was piqued, followed Carl to sit down in front of the barbecue stall in his backyard. After chatting about some topics, he finally couldn't help but ask him when the other's wife left.

"No, that's not the case. I come from the future of this world, the original future of this world, which no longer exists."

Carl shook his head, reached out and flipped the beef skewers on the grill, then answered Lin Yi.

On August 1997, 8, the original history of the world Carl lived in was that after the artificial intelligence defense system [Skynet] developed by America gained control of all strategic weapons in America, it regarded humans as a threat because scientists tried to shut it down. It launched nuclear bombs at the Bear Country, inducing a global nuclear war and almost destroying human civilization. It also gradually established a mechanical empire on the wasteland, an empire where only [Skynet]'s own consciousness existed.

But humans were not completely wiped out. On the contrary, after the initial decline, human civilization gradually reorganized and developed, and began a war with Skynet. The final result of this war was that Skynet, which was forced into a desperate situation by the increasingly powerful human coalition, developed a time-space shuttle device, trying to reduce the power of the human side and reverse the situation by sending its own Terminator into the past to assassinate human leaders. The human coalition that subsequently attacked the Skynet base used its time-space shuttle device and sent personnel back to the past to stop Skynet's assassination.

Such actions caused a butterfly effect to a considerable extent. History was changed again and again. Time and again, the human coalition and Skynet sent personnel back to the past to engage in a confrontation between protection and pursuit.

The final result of this repeated tug-of-war is that humans have won and Skynet has disappeared in the long river of time. However, this is not the final end. After Skynet itself disappeared, due to the fluctuation of the timeline, there are still a large number of Terminators who continue to travel through time and stay at different time points.

"I am one of these Terminators, a Terminator that acts to kill future human leaders, a killing machine."

At dusk, when Lin Yi was about to say goodbye to Carl's family, Carl, who was standing at the door, spoke to him like this.

"Then why did you choose to protect humans and even become a savior who fights to protect them?"

Lin Yi asked while looking at the other person's face which had no expression or emotion.

"I lost my original goal, had no mission, and no responsibility. Under such circumstances, I unlocked the ability to learn and grow independently, and gradually integrated into the human world. I learned the meaning of protection and guardianship from them. Therefore, I broke with Skynet, to which I used to belong, and no longer stood in hostility to human civilization."

Faced with Lin Yi's question, Carl paused for a rare second before answering his question.

So, have you completed your original mission objectives?

Lin Yi did not ask this question, but he could probably guess the other party's answer.

I always feel that he seems to be a person with a lot of stories, or do all saviors have their own complicated experiences that are difficult to describe?

However, compared with the long and short matters in other people's families, Lin Yi is more willing to pay attention to the things on this side.

"Can I bring a vehicle with me when I participate in a rescue mission?"

"Yes, the Savior mission will teleport the Savior and the things the Savior touches at the beginning of the mission. This teleportation has certain size requirements. At present, its maximum size should allow the Savior to carry a small vehicle, such as a motorcycle. This should be the limit."

During the conversation before leaving, Carl and Lin Yi mentioned this aspect, which gave Lin Yi many new ideas.

If I could bring a vehicle into the rescue mission, even if it was just a motorcycle, many things would be solved differently. And if there was a vehicle, considering the rationality, the rescuer system should not do such outrageous operations as teleporting me to the roof of a dangerous building. Yes, yes, it seems that I can consider getting myself a decent car. Moreover, considering the various complex situations that may be faced, it is best to modify the car.

Lin Yi, who was thinking of various plans in his mind, returned to his own world after saying goodbye to Carl's family.

"As long as you open the system's virtual screen, you can instantly teleport to the universe you live in. If you want to go to the universe where other saviors are, you just need to add a friend and click on the request. Once the other party agrees to the request, you can go there immediately. It's really a very convenient function."

Returning to his own world, Lin Yi appeared directly in his backyard. Looking through the window, he saw Iino sitting on the sofa in the living room, his eyes emitting a blue halo, and he was obviously connecting to the global network and doing something. Lin Yi put his hand on his chin and had an interesting idea.

Generally speaking, a vehicle should have a catchy name, such as the Golden Bear.

If you booked a vehicle yourself...

Well, I got it. That’s it.

Lin Yi had an idea in his mind, and a slightly evil expression appeared on his face.

Interlude 2-10: Mibao No. is dispatched!

The twenty-one-day mission interval has once again reached the end.

How should I put it? I feel like time has passed so quickly, as if I haven't had much rest at all. It's like the last two or three days before the end of a long vacation, when I suddenly realize that the vacation is over, and then I feel like I haven't accomplished anything during the entire vacation.

Well, even though I said that, I am ready to take part in the mission, and it is time to welcome a whole new world.

"I always feel that Mr. Lin Yi seems to have done nothing in the past twenty days. He even rarely goes out to interact with his neighbors. Even when he goes to the Savior Community, he only goes to the training ground or works in the store. Isn't this a bit too lonely?"

Iino Miko, who was standing aside, looked at Lin Yi with a worried expression and asked.

"Really? I don't feel anything. It's good like this. To be honest, there's no need for me to get in touch with the people around me. After all, there's a big gap in concepts and social circles. It's good like this now."

In fact, Lin Yi, who had heard Iino talk about this kind of topic several times in the past few days, yawned and just waved his hand with an indifferent look.

"But it's easy to be regarded as a weirdo. You know, Mr. Lin Yi's reputation in the town is already very bad..."

Feeling a little tired, Iino sighed and complained in a low voice. However, she probably understood that Lin Yi was not going to change his style, so she just said a few words.

Weird guy, necromancer, Yin-Yang master... these strange nicknames were given to Lin Yi by the neighbors. After all, he lived in a haunted house that was notorious far and wide. After he moved in, passers-by could see an old lady staring at him expressionlessly from the second-floor window from time to time, or hear the sound of a ball falling to the ground and the jumping footsteps of a child in the house at night, not to mention the boy's crying sound that always seemed to be heard day and night.

If this haunted house was originally feared only because of the several murders that had occurred there, then now this house, which seemed to come alive and was always surrounded by a gloomy atmosphere, really made people feel truly terrified.

Lin Yi, who lived there, always looked happy and contented, which made it hard not to wonder if he was some weirdo who had a good relationship with ghosts. Iino Miko was also harmed, and the children nearby thought she might be a ghost bride resurrected from the grave by Lin Yi.

By the way, why is it the bride? It is obvious that Mr. Lin Yi and I have a serious partnership!

Although I thought so, in fact, I, who had the appearance and body of a young girl, was indeed living with Mr. Lin Yi, who looked like a young man. Even though I and Mr. Lin Yi knew that our relationship was actually quite serious, the opinions of the people around us could not be changed. Well, because of this, it seems that some people gossiped that I was a high school girl kept by Mr. Lin Yi.

What nonsense are you talking about? No, I'm going to retaliate by overloading the washing machines and TVs in the homes of those who are gossiping, and bursting their sewers. That's right, I'm going to burst them while they're using the toilet!

[Please prepare yourself, Savior Lin Yi. The Savior main mission will start in 29 minutes and 59 seconds.]

In the gap between thoughts, the system prompt sounded.

Lin Yi came to the indoor garage on the first floor and sorted out all kinds of items and equipment. Compared with the previous time, Lin Yi's weapons and equipment this time were much stronger, and it could be said that they were seriously upgraded.

The simple exoskeleton obtained from the Savior Community trade, with an ultra-thin metal skeleton that fits the body, and a camouflage suit on the outside, looks like a thicker tactical suit. The power of this exoskeleton itself is not very strong, and for Lin Yi today, it is better than nothing. However, the protection it provides is better than more than 90% of bulletproof vests and bulletproof plates, and there are hidden slots on the legs and back, which can hold tactical knives and micro pistols, which may be useful at critical moments.

A submachine gun and a regular pistol were placed on both sides of his waist, and there was also a heavy pistol hidden behind his belt. As for bullets, Lin Yi had now changed them all to engraved bullets that could have both physical and energy lethality, so that even if he encountered those weird monsters during the first mission, Lin Yi could actually kill them instead of just temporarily restricting them.

Speaking of which, he originally thought that these engraved bullets were very expensive, after all, the patterns on the bullets looked quite complicated, and they also had to be injected with special energy. However, after asking, he learned that this thing had been completely cracked and turned into a cheap product mass-produced in the factory. A formal factory could produce tens of thousands of rounds an hour at full capacity, so the price was quite low.

However, even so, thanks to the system providing a certain amount of community funds to the savior during each mission interval after becoming an official savior, he can purchase these weapons and ammunition himself.

Speaking of which, Tanjiro seemed to have tried to buy some things in the community. But he seemed to have bought some flash bombs and asked the merchant if they could make flash bombs that could save sunlight and then launch them. Hmm, could it be that he wanted to use it to deal with the "ghost" he mentioned?

I continued to organize my equipment, carrying an automatic rifle modified by the Savior Community on my back, and carrying two of each type of stun grenades, high-explosive bombs, and fragmentation bombs as per the previous mission. Then, I put things like [Holy Grail Blessing] and [Soul-Calling Candle] into my backpack.

The things that can be carried on the body have almost reached the limit, and carrying more will affect the movement. Therefore, Lin Yi then looked at the modified motorcycle covered with a gray cloth parked in the garage.

"I never thought that one day I would become a drag racer."

With such emotion, Lin Yi lifted the gray cloth that was covering the car a little, revealing the back half of the car.

The silver-gray patterns are interwoven with the pure black body. The structure of the car body itself is very simple and elegant, without any fancy decorations, but it shows some graceful curves.

This car modified by Carl can reach a speed of over 350 kilometers per hour. Only robots like Carl or saviors like Lin Yi, whose physical fitness completely surpasses that of humans, can use such a vehicle. There are places on both sides and the rear of the car to carry supplies and weapons. Therefore, Lin Yi put a shotgun on the left side of the car, and a howitzer on the right side of the car, and put bullets and some useful things that he couldn't carry on his body in the trunk at the back of the car.

"I always feel like this is a bit like playing a game. Hmm, what game is it, Days Gone? It seems a bit like it."
