"Beep, beep, beep … Ka!"
After a series of noises, the bottom of the food outlet opened, and a steaming plate of porridge appeared in front of the pompon.
The pompon extended a few strands of fur to test the porridge's … composition.
Sure enough, it was like this.
During the test, Lin found that the porridge contained a lot of 'ghost traces'. Lin could already confirm … the result of this incident.
The Ershi Min did not suddenly receive a signal to create the skeleton machine, but it ate the food here.
It ate the food and was' infected 'with the strong desire to create the skeleton machine. The main evidence for this was the ghost traces that Lin found on the Ershi Min's bed.
The ghost whelps could be eaten … into the body, and they could also be excreted … from the sweat outlet. When Lin examined the bed, she found that the traces there should be excretions from the Ershi Min's body, not traces left behind by the whelps.
Lin had long discovered that the whelps were probably in this shopping mall through large-scale detection. Now, this discovery confirmed the whelps' specific location. It should be … inside here.
With that in mind, Lin had the pompon release some miniaturized soldiers to enter the food outlet and explore the environment inside …
While Lin was doing this, she discovered that a large number of … … those grayish-black little creatures had appeared. They quickly swarmed over, surrounded the porridge, and ate it clean in an instant. Moreover, they were constantly gnawing at the closed opening, trying to drill their way in.
Those civilians … did not seem to want to care at all?
When Lin invaded this place, she thought that the Ershi Min would soon come here to attack the pompon or make it leave. But until now, none of them had appeared.
Perhaps they could not keep monitoring this place, and Lin did not find any surveillance cameras or anything like that. But if that was the case … what if this food device was dangerous?
But Lin did not have to worry too much. The miniaturized soldiers were quickly exploring inside the device …
Sure enough, the inside was just as Lin thought. It was a very large and complicated machine. Although only a small square part was exposed outside, the inside was much larger.
To put it simply, it was like a small factory. There was a system for synthesizing and cooking food, as well as a system for removing waste, and an automatic cleaning system.
Finally, it was connected to another raw material entrance. The raw material entrance was also in another part of the restaurant. Once the raw materials were placed there, the food could be assembled.
In fact, there was nothing special about this thing. It could only turn raw materials into food … This kind of device was very common in many places.
However, there was something special about this device, which was that it could turn non-food ingredients into food.
For a long time, the Ershi Min here relied on this food manufacturing device to survive … However, there were originally no ingredients here.
There weren't even any creatures like fungi. It was a place where there were only … buildings. However, when the Ershi Min first came here, they accidentally discovered that by throwing some … non-food things into the manufacturing device, it could also produce food.
No one remembered what was first thrown in, but later on, all kinds of things were thrown in to make food.
For example, all kinds of tools. Later on, they changed to throwing sand and stones. No matter how simple it was, it could be turned into food here …
It was a very wondrous thing.
In order to do this, a very … subtle operation was required. However, after inspecting the entire device, Lin did not discover this function.
In fact, this device's function was limited to turning meat into steaks. It could not turn sand into steaks.
Then, how did it do it? Lin felt that she needed to test it out … so, Lin had the pompoms randomly pick up some things. Then, she went to the entrance where the raw materials were placed and threw them in.
What Lin threw in was a small stool.
The stool was sent into the initial part of the device. This part was originally used to cut the ingredients. However, it got stuck here.
Because the small stool was too big for the pipe, it could not fit in at all. However, Lin soon discovered …
Something strange happened.
She saw the small stool she threw in earlier slowly … turning into powder.
It was as though something was breaking it down bit by bit, turning it into a large amount of powder. And this powder … was sent in.
After passing through the initial pipe, it was sent into the central part to be cooked. Then, it was made into the food that Lin had ordered at the entrance.
It was still the steaks.
Lin inspected the steaks … and found that they were steaks and not steaks made from the powder of the stool.
However, this was not the type of meat that the Ershi Min usually used … the meat of the animals they raised. Instead, it was a very special type of meat.
It was like a mixture of a large amount of ancient fungi.
This was quite special. After thinking about it, Lin ordered the steaks again. Then, she threw in a stool and had some miniaturized soldiers … wait on the stool.
She had them observe the entire process.
Lin did observe the entire process … it turned out that the problem lay with the part where the stool was turned into powder. After the stool was turned into powder, the powder would be replaced.
From afar, it would appear that there was no change. However, the powder would appear to have been transported away and replaced with something else. A powder made from a large amount of fungi.
These fungi were clearly edible for the Ershi Min. Thus, they could be cooked into ingredients. Of course, the taste would be somewhat different from the original food on the menu.
However, the Ershi Min who lived here had never eaten the original menu. So, they probably did not know …
It seemed that the problem lay in the fact that something had replaced the powder. The Ershi Min did not seem to have noticed this.
Perhaps it was because they had never taken apart the device to study it carefully. Logically speaking, they should have made more of these devices.
Perhaps they were afraid of breaking them apart and not being able to put them back together. At any rate, they did not have such thoughts.
Lin also noticed … what was replacing the powder. In fact, it was a Transpirator.
To be precise, it was a primitive Transpirator. The ones Lin had seen before were … highly evolved. This one was very primitive, the kind that had just begun to evolve.
