After Feng Bujue made his choice, the [JOY4] card deck in his hand immediately turned into white light and disappeared.
Since the equipment generation method in the storage room had changed, the white beam of light would not suddenly appear in the room.
Brother Jue waited for a few seconds. Seeing that there was no change in his surroundings, he walked back to the drawer by the wall …
"It should be in here …" He muttered as he pulled the iron lock.
Indeed, the equipment exchanged from the card deck was also refreshed in here.
Clank —
When the drawer was opened, the item appeared in front of Brother Jue.
"Uh …" When Feng Bujue saw the item, he did not even need to call out the description menu to know the name of the item.
Overall, it was a cylindrical object that looked like a doll.
Its main body was an orange-red cylinder with a semi-circular flesh-colored cap at the top. There were two eyes and a mouth painted on the cap.
The two eyes were standard dead fish eyes …
The mouth was a simple horizontal line.
On this semi-circular "head", there were only two eyes and a mouth. There was no nose, ears, eyebrows … or any other details.
On both sides of this cylindrical object, there were two flesh-colored sticks that were about the same thickness as chopsticks. These two sticks should be the "arms" of this object. There were also no details. They were just fixed at a 70-degree angle to the body.
[Name: JUST _ WE]
[Type: Compound Weapon]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Attack:???]
[Defense:???]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Special Effect: Its presence is stronger than expected. Its actual use is also greater than it looks.]
[Equip Requirement: Since it is bound, you can use it (bound after picking it up)]
[Remark: JUST _ WE is JUST _ WE. It is neither great nor humble.]
"Oh … It really is JUST _ WE." Feng Bujue picked up the item and said with a smile.
The next second …
"This is a scam!" He immediately shouted, "You call this legendary quality?!" Is this really an equipment? Where am I supposed to equip it? Am I supposed to stick the whole stick into [Beep — —] and carry it away? The description of this special effect was simply baffling! Was the 'Equipment Requirements' column trying to comfort me? That 'you've already been fooled, so why don't you let it go' context wasn't my imagination, right? What's the big deal about the last note? 'JUST _ WE is JUST _ WE, neither great nor humble' … Isn't that nonsense?! "
"Haa … Haa …" Brother Jue finished the entire sentence in one breath and panted for a few seconds.
After venting, he calmed down a little …
"Phew … Forget it … This is fate." He sighed and put JUST _ WE into his inventory. "This is a Legendary-grade equipment. It will definitely be useful … Hmm … It will definitely be useful."
Even though he told himself that, he knew in his heart that he had probably taken the "risk" of exchanging [JOY4] cards for equipment, and he had drawn a painful reward.
At this point, Feng Bujue had collected all the rewards from the scenario. He looked at the time in real life. It had been three hours since he logged in.
Considering that the forty-eight hours of this' limited time experience 'were calculated according to the time in real life, Brother Jue decided to go offline first.
These three hours could be used to familiarize himself with the new environment. Next, he planned to log in in sleeping mode. After all, he was going to play the game anyway. It was much more cost-effective to use sleeping mode to waste the experience time.
…
After disconnecting the nerve connection, Feng Bujue opened the gaming hub and sat up.
"Hmm …" He sat up and shook his head. "Here we go again …"
Brother Jue had noticed a long time ago that every time he used non-sleeping mode to play the game, in the few minutes after the connection was disconnected, there would be a strange feeling.
It was not a feeling of dizziness but a subtle feeling of incongruity.
When Feng Bujue was still a normal person, he did not notice this strange feeling. But … after experiencing the 'development' of Gu Chen, Qi Zhi, Woody, and Simon, Brother Jue was now a man who could even sense the rotation of the earth. Therefore, he could clearly sense this sense of "disharmony" …
"Do you feel it?"
Just as Brother Jue was thinking, a man's voice suddenly entered his ears.
"What the f * ck?" Feng Bujue was shocked. He turned around and saw a man in a suit sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"I say … how did you get in here?" Brother Jue saw that it was Gu Chen and asked, "And … how come I didn't notice you coming in?"
"I already have the key to your place," Gu Chen replied calmly. "Even if I didn't … it would have been easy to get in." He shrugged, "As for why you didn't notice me … it's hard to explain. Just think of it as my 'qinggong'."
"Mm …" Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes and climbed out of the gaming cabin, "Looks like you're an expert at invading private residences."
"No, I'm not." Gu Chen continued, "If you enter someone's home without saying anything, that's called 'invading private residences'. If I enter private residences without saying anything, that's called 'carrying out a mission'."
"Haha …" Feng Bujue chuckled drily and replied, "Then … I wonder, what is the purpose of your visit today, Mr. Section Chief?"
Hearing this, Gu Chen looked into Brother Jue's eyes and was silent for a few seconds. Then he said, "I'm here today … on personal matters." After saying this, he raised his head and glanced at the clock on the wall, "It's almost six, let's talk while we eat."
"Oh?" Feng Bujue laughed, "That's great ~" Although his expression was smiling, there wasn't a hint of true happiness in his eyes, "Which luxurious hotel are you bringing me to eat and drink at?"
At this moment, Gu Chen stood up and walked towards the kitchen. As he walked, he said, "I stopped by the market on my way here."
"Huh?" Feng Bujue's gaze followed him and quickly saw the plastic bags on the counter.
"I told my wife that I won't be going home for dinner tonight. I'll just make do with you …" Gu Chen had already walked into the kitchen halfway through his words and picked up an apron to mail to himself, "I rarely have the chance to personally cook after marriage, so my skills might have regressed a bit. Come over and help me."
"Hey …" Brother Jue was shocked, "You're talking to yourself, invading someone's home, forcing them to buy groceries to cook, and even freeloading off of them … Then you're asking the owner to help you cook?"
"Are you going to do it or not?" Gu Chen asked back nonchalantly.
Feng Bujue thought for two seconds, then rolled his dead fish eyes and walked towards the kitchen, "Ai … menu, menu …"
"Braised pork ribs with scallions …" Gu Chen took the opportunity to reply, "… Mapo tofu, meat and egg custard, and mushroom soup."
As he said this, Gu Chen's left hand had already picked up a large transparent egg beating bowl, and his right hand grabbed an egg and cracked it. He did a dashing one-handed beating of the egg.
Then … the egg broke into the bowl.
As the egg and the egg fell into the bowl, the atmosphere in the kitchen instantly became very strange …
After a period of awkward silence, Feng Bujue's mouth twitched. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Chen, "That … I want to ask … Your Excellency's culinary skills before 'regressing', what was it like?"
Gu Chen maintained his calm attitude and picked up a rag to wipe his hands. He coldly replied, "Do you know that instant noodles taste better when cooked than when they're soaked?"
"Nonsense! Who doesn't know?! "Feng Bujue was shocked." So your so-called 'skill' is the skill of cooking instant noodles?! You had the audacity to buy ingredients for four dishes and bring them to someone else's house?! You even put on such an arrogant appearance and asked someone to be your assistant?! "
"Hmph …" Gu Chen ignored Brother Jue's ridicule and snorted coldly, "By the way … when cooking instant noodles, don't put too much water in it. It'll make the texture better."
"Mention your ass! Aren't we talking about instant noodles?! " Feng Bujue pointed at Gu Chen, "I already said that it's not that amazing of a skill! What's with your self-satisfied attitude?! "
Gu Chen shook his head, still unmoved by Brother Jue's ridicule, "Young man, you're too naive … Truly profound skills are the realm of returning to one's original state. Skills like 'making steamed buns laugh' or 'making dumplings move' are just claptrap. "
"A man who can't even crack an egg sure dares to say something like that …" Feng Bujue's own egg was starting to hurt. "Do you think I won't be able to tell that you're bringing up a culinary comic from decades ago to mock me?"
"Don't mind the details," Gu Chen continued, "Although my skills are rusty, my awareness won't deteriorate." As he spoke, he picked up another plastic bag, "Watch … I'll teach you the method of using soy instead of ground meat to make a special Mapo Tofu with six flavors in one."
"You just mocked someone else's skill as claptrap, and then you immediately plagiarized another skill!" Feng Bujue roared. "Do you have to … Oh no … Do you have any shame?!"
… …
Fifteen minutes later …
"Hmm … Let me see …" Feng Bujue looked at the steamer on the stove, "The meat and egg custard is finally steaming …" He then looked at the big frying pan with a lid on the side, "The ribs need to be soaked in low heat, there's still some time …" He lowered his head and looked at the tofu in the bowl, "The tofu should be soaked in water first, wait for the other two dishes to be ready, then put into the pot."
Thinking up to this point, he turned his head and looked at Gu Chen, who wasn't far away, "Um … Chief, is your soy ground meat ready?"
At this moment, Gu Chen was busy in front of a stove on the other side of the kitchen.
Hearing this, he turned around and handed Brother Jue a small plate for tasting food. On the plate, there was a small lump of unknown black substance.
"Try it and see how it tastes," Gu Chen said.
Brother Jue immediately took half a step back and asked cautiously, "Why don't you try it yourself?"
Gu Chen's answer was truly shocking ….
He replied in a very calm tone, "It looks disgusting."
Feng Bujue widened his eyes and took a deep breath. Then, he maintained the twitching expression on his face and asked in a calm tone, "Can you get out of my kitchen?"
… …
At seven o 'clock in the evening, the father and son (Considering their age, this title didn't seem to be a problem) finally sat down at the dining table.
Overall, Feng Bujue made three dishes and one soup, while Gu Chen wasted an egg and a kilo of soybeans … Since the latter had bought all the food, Brother Jue didn't say anything.
"I came to find you today mainly to talk about my granddaughter," Gu Chen picked up his bowl and spoke before the first bite of food entered his mouth.
"Ah …" Feng Bujue had already picked up his spoon and dug into a mouthful of Mapo Tofu, "I just don't understand … What is she thinking?"
"What exactly is she thinking … I don't know either, but I know that she must be angry," Gu Chen continued.
"I just don't understand …" Feng Bujue said. "What is she angry about?" His tone inadvertently rose, "Everything I do is for her own good. Even if she finds out that she doesn't have the feelings she thought she had for me after the seal is broken, I will also … "
"Stop, stop." Gu Chen interrupted Brother Jue, "That's where the problem lies."
"Ah?" Brother Jue didn't understand, "Where is the problem?"
"I know you're doing it for her own good," Gu Chen continued. "You also know that you're doing it for her own good." He paused, "No matter from a subjective or objective point of view, the whole world will think that what you're doing … is for her own good." At this point, he changed the topic, "But …" He furrowed his brows and looked at Brother Jue's face, "You can't … Make a unilateral decision on something that is closely related to her, and carry it out. Then you can throw the result in the other party's face and say righteously that you're doing it for her own good. "
"Huh?" Feng Bujue was even more confused after hearing this.
"Let me give you an example," Gu Chen said, "Today, I came to your house and cooked for you. How do you feel?"
"You're doing it for my own good?" Feng Bujue gave him a dead fish eye, "Before that … Meow! Who the hell cooked for me?! "
"See …" Gu Chen said, "You're already upset over such a small matter, let alone something more important."
"Hey! How come I feel like your example is completely different from the situation that I have encountered! "Feng Bujue replied.
"I am also someone who has been through this before. I have made similar mistakes before …" Gu Chen had an incomparable experience in ignoring criticism. No matter how hard Brother Jue complained, he continued to say what he wanted to say. "So, today, I am not here to lecture you as an elder, but as someone who has been through this before … I am telling you that you are wrong."
"I'm wrong?" Feng Bujue asked.
"You're wrong," Gu Chen said.
"Is it really my fault?" Brother Jue asked again.
"You're so ~ wrong," Gu Chen dragged his voice as he replied.
"Mm …" In the next second, Feng Bujue put his elbows on the table and leaned forward, "Then you say … I'll go kneel down and apologize …"
"Don't bother with that cheap kneel," Gu Chen interrupted him again.
"Uh …" This was beyond Brother Jue's expectations, "Then what should I do?"
Then, Gu Chen used a matter-of-fact tone and gave an answer that even Feng Bujue didn't expect, "Do you even need to ask? Just do it the hard way. "
