Chapter 267: Chapter 175: What is gourmet food (Second update)_2
“We’re not going to delve into that issue right now,” Lin Nan asked, “Although we saved you, we’re also here for our own benefit. Are you of any use?”
“I’m particularly good at eating!”
“Open the hatch, we’re sending the lady back to the west.”
“Wait! Give me delicious things to eat, and I can weakly produce the ability to change reality. The reincarnation of a god is also a relatively powerful reality interferer, but it requires corresponding items to activate the relevant abilities to change reality.”
Knowing this, Lin Nan felt that this ability could be put to some use.
Soon after, under Delta’s autopilot, the spaceship landed on a nearby, rundown remote planet.
The environment of this planet was not good and even harsh in some respects; it was too close to the nearest star, and the surface temperature often exceeded 50 degrees Celsius, making it difficult for vegetation to grow here.
Noticing the plight of this planet, the Food Lord said with difficulty, “This place doesn’t look like it has anything delicious.”
“What do you think is delicious?”
Hearing about eating, the Food Lord immediately felt up to it.
It puffed out its chest and said excitedly, “Food, first of all, is about the vessel. The quality of the vessel determines the taste of the food. Stew needs to be served in ceramic, barbecue should be placed on silverware, grilled fish must be brought on an iron plate, and the final flavor definitely requires the iron plate to bake for taste. Now that we’ve talked about the vessels, let’s move on to the various…”
Lin Nan threw the Food Lord with a shoulder throw and directed the spaceship to land above the only bar on the planet, then entered the bar with the Food Lord.
Tian Xuan and the others were tired and had gone to rest, but Lin Nan, on the contrary, was past the point of sleepiness and became more active as she played, deciding to stay up a little longer before going to bed.
The bar’s owner was a muscular Maine Coon with a face full of scars, even bearing three claw marks over its left eye, looking quite ferocious.
Upon seeing Lin Nan and the Food Lord entering, it naturally picked up Lin Nan and asked, “How would you like to eat?”
“Braised…” said the Food Lord.
The Food Lord was thrown out with a shoulder throw.
Lin Nan clapped her hands and said to the Maine Coon, “Boss, stop joking around.”
“Sorry, it’s just that a squirrel and cat combo is quite rare, so I unintentionally made a joke. Alright, what would you like to eat, or drink?”
“I’m not picky, and neither is it.”
The Maine Coon glanced at them, had Lin Nan pay first, then went to the kitchen and soon returned with two plates of fried rice.
The fried rice looked colorful, and although it was hurriedly made in a few minutes, it still looked rather appealing.
Even though she couldn’t smell it, Lin Nan still felt that the fried rice must be quite delicious.
The Food Lord, dizzy from being thrown, got up smelling the fragrance. Although it wanted to complain, a look from Lin Nan made it quietly sit down and eat.
After the first bite, it put down its spoon, covered its face, and started crying.
“…What’s wrong?”
“It’s delicious.”
“…And here I thought there was poison in the food from your reaction.”
“No, it’s really delicious. I haven’t eaten something this tasty in a long time.”
The Food Lord continued eating and crying, its tears making the fried rice even saltier.
It recalled its experiences during this time, and the more it thought, the sadder it became.
After being reincarnated, it was abandoned by its parents, then grew rapidly to its current state, attempted to return to its sect but was treated as a blasphemer, and could only turn its eyes toward garbage cans and slop buckets to find something to eat.
A simple plate of fried rice, in its eyes, was an unsurpassable delicacy, making it almost forget the exquisite dishes it ate as a god, with only this plate of fried rice left in its sight.
After contentedly finishing the fried rice, it held its belly satisfied and then noticed that there were no other customers here.
“Boss, if your fried rice is so good, why isn’t there anyone here?”
“No money,”
“Why no money?”
“We’re too close to the sun, so we must purchase blessings from the nearby food sect to exchange for a good climate. However, they’ve recently stated there’s a problem with the gods, so they want to increase the faith tax. We can’t afford it, and so it has become like this.”
“`
After finishing his statement, the Maine Coon looked toward the sectarian Floating City floating in the distance and sighed, “Although it sounds a bit disrespectful, the Food Lord, as a god, sometimes really isn’t up to the task.”
Facing direct criticism, the Food Lord instantly flushed with embarrassment, standing stiff-necked and said, “Maybe… maybe He’s just busy, so He didn’t notice?”
“He hasn’t noticed for a hundred years?”
“Well… that was the personal behavior of the sect members below.”
“Taxes are for the gods, but misdeeds are the fault of those below. You speak quite like a High Priest.”
With a sneer, the Maine Coon slowly added, “Truly so moral.”
The Food Lord was instantly broken.
It cried again.
It wept as it left the bar, and then there came a loud scraping noise from outside, as a meteor with a long tail headed straight for the Floating City of the Food Lord’s sect, slamming it forcefully to the ground.
The deafening sound and the powerful shockwave arrived here three minutes later, shattering the bar’s windows instantly.
The Maine Coon and Lin Nan were utterly shocked. They walked out just in time to see the Floating City wobble and crash to the ground. Numerous ships emerged from the Floating City, looking for whoever dared to attack them, but found nothing.
Later, the Spotted Cat came back, tears and snot streaming down its face.
Wiping its nose, it pointed at the still smoldering ruins of the Floating City in the distance and said, “I taught them a lesson! Give me tastier fried rice, and I swear I’ll make this a better place!”
“Dear me…” remarked the Maine Coon.
“The Food Lord is a kind god, He definitely didn’t mean to overlook you, He just forgot! Give me the fried rice!”
The Food Lord, a powerful god second only to the Main God.
Even though reborn, it still could transform the emotions it felt when tasting delicious food into the power to alter reality.
The fried rice it had just consumed was the most delicious food it had eaten recently, and that emotion had directly summoned a small asteroid to give the Floating City a good hit.
The Maine Coon had intended to cook for the Food Lord right away, but Lin Nan stopped him.
Looking at the Food Lord, Lin Nan asked, “Do you know what the tastiest rice is?”
“…Fried rice?”
Noticing that Lin Nan did not agree with its immediate response, it scratched its ear in thought, then seemingly had an epiphany, “Fried rice with dried fish flakes!”
“It’s the rice you eat after labor, you fool. The fried rice here isn’t cheap, so you have to work for me. Come on, start by sweeping the spaceship’s floor.”
The Food Lord, groggy and confused, followed Lin Nan onto the spaceship and, six hours later, crawled back into the bar.
During those six hours, it swept the whole layer of the ship under Delta’s supervision, getting shocked whenever it slacked off, which made the Food Lord, who had never done any labor, think it was going to die.
It was born Little Heavenly Way, everything taken care of by believers; even without believers, it could use the Heavenly Tao network. Doing things on its own was a foreign concept to it.
Six hours of labor left it with calloused hands. The fried rice it had eaten seemed to have been fully digested, making it so hungry it could eat itself.
But it had to wait.
To prevent dine and dash, the bar demanded payment before serving food. With nothing in its pockets, the Food Lord could only sit there blankly.
To make matters worse, at this time, a customer arrived.
The patrons here only ate fried rice, specifically fried rice with dried fish flakes. The aroma of the rice and the crunch of the fish flakes being chewed mixed together, which made it drool profusely, but it had to restrain itself.
Finally, just as the Food Lord was about to burst into tears, Lin Nan came online.
She took the time to eat dinner, take a shower, and get a good night’s sleep, now re-energized and ready to play again!
Seeing Lin Nan, the Food Lord felt like it had seen family, grabbed her tail, and sobbed, “Why did you take so long? I’m starving.”
“There, there, don’t cry, here’s your fried rice.”
Seeing the Food Lord happily eating fried rice, Lin Nan felt her plan was quite successful.
What came next was to test to what extent the other party could interfere with reality.
