Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

"..."

Although his daughter's spicy cooking skills were unmatched even by him, her father, ...

"Keep this eyeball! I also have some purified slime; I'll see if I can use it to research a new dish tonight!"

Hearing his daughter's happy voice, Master Mao's old face twitched twice.

When exactly did my daughter start researching these things...?

Okay, not only is my face twitching, but my stomach is too.

After all, his own father was the first to taste the food.

(Maybe we should get a dog for the house...)

If Xiangling hadn't insisted on keeping the little girl, he would have thrown the two of them out long ago.

No matter how prestigious your status, it won't help!

"You said someone's looking for me?" Möbius's eyes lit up, and he immediately threw down the plate as if he'd touched something dirty. "I'll go out right now."

Chapter 231 It Doesn't Matter If Your Brain Is Feverish

Mebius really didn't want to talk to Mei for even a second longer.

Given her personality, the fact that she could hold out against Mei for a week already shows she's getting old and her temper has improved.

Mebius really wasn't good at dealing with someone like Mei who talks nonsense in a serious manner.

So after hearing Xiangling's words, Möbius rushed out immediately.

"Little one—who are these two?"

Just as Mebius was about to jump into Liu Bai's arms, he noticed that there were two other people following Liu Bai.

One of them looked somewhat familiar to her.

“Oh… Little Gui Zi, right?” Mebiusto stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

"...So everyone's forgotten my name is Gui Naifen lately?"

Gui Naifen couldn't help but complain when she saw Mebius's reaction.

As for Mebius's apparent forgetting of his own name... not surprising, um, not surprising.

Mebius clearly looked down on someone like himself, a "commoner".

"And who is this girl?"

"Li Sushang, from the Taixu Sword Sect."

"Oh……"

Möbius sized up the girl who seemed to have a lot of curiosity.

It seems like she's not good at dealing with this kind of person; as long as they don't provoke her, she's too lazy to bother with this girl.

"Let's get down to business." Bai stepped forward and pushed Mebius into the kitchen—after all, there were too many people in front, so it wasn't appropriate to talk about business.

Mebius suppressed his joy and nodded.

"So, that Miss Mei really works as a chef here?"

"He's a damn chef, he's just a food processing machine."

Mebius isn't blind. Did Xiangling keep Mei because she liked Mei's cooking skills?

Stop kidding, he's just after Mei's ability to "mutate when food goes into the pot"—an ability that Möbius truly can't explain with science.

Although Möbius also thought Xiangling was a madwoman, at least her culinary skills as a chef were undeniable.

Even if they make something out of the unusual, it's not necessarily bad to eat—people are usually the first to try it, and anything that tastes bad won't end up in the mouths of their guests.

Looking at Mei again, I've never seen her eat anything she made.

Mebius and Liu Bai went into the kitchen, and Gui Naifen pulled Li Sushang to find a seat—it was better for them not to get involved in the affairs of those two.

"I really don't know what to do with that girl right now."

"How can I help? By seducing you?"

"Try to come up with something new and interesting and see if you can seduce her." Möbius rolled his eyes at Liu Bai. You're using your body as your primary weapon now?

Have some shame!

As your owner, I forbid it. How dare you sell yourself?

"To have reached this position, it's not that I have no passion at all... I can only say that I love cooking even more."

"..."

You want me to persuade Mei to give up cooking?

Liu Bai's lips twitched. Where should he begin to persuade him?

Are you suggesting we start persuading them by having them try a bite?

That could lead to someone's death.

"I don't care, I called you here, so you have to have a solution." Möbius started to act unreasonably.

"Good good."

My PhD student is as willful as ever...

As soon as Liu Bai entered the kitchen, he saw a literary girl with long purple hair wearing an apron and picking vegetables.

...For some reason, Liu Bai could sense a strange gaze.

"...This guy gets out of the shadows really fast." Möbius's lips twitched. "Look, that plate over there is our Chef Mei's latest masterpiece."

"...?"

Liu Bai looked in the direction Mebius was pointing and sure enough, he saw a large eyeball with a Kremlin-like style.

...Why is this thing considered a counter-type?

Because this thing seems to be spinning around...

Not to mention the tentacles mixed with slime underneath, which give you the feeling that the eyeballs might run away with the little tentacles at any moment.

Without a doubt, Mei is truly exceptionally talented to be able to cook food to this level.

Liu Bai took a deep breath and, instead of talking to Mei first, walked towards the plate of eyeballs.

"Eh? Liu Bai?" Mebius exclaimed from behind.

Despite his mental discomfort, Liu Bai reached out and touched the plate. Soon after, the menu appeared before his eyes.

【God-Slaying Cuisine: The Unspeakable Eyeball (Food)】

[After consumption, there is a moderate chance of food poisoning, a high probability of fainting and collapsing, and a forced transition to a third-person perspective.]

"...?"

Sure enough, just by looking at its appearance, you can tell that this thing deserves a place in the system.

"Meibo...Miss Mei, can I eat this?"

"……Eh?"

Mei seemed not to have reacted, and looked at Liu Bai with the gaze of someone looking at an idiot.

"...Whatever, although I don't advocate this behavior."

"So you know it's not encouraged!" Mebius retorted.

Even Mei's usually icy face showed a hint of embarrassment.

Humans are always a little bit shameful.

If you say that the dishes she makes are not edible, she will definitely disagree and be indignant. But if you say that you want to try them, she will stop you.

After all, it's not worth risking someone's life for a petty argument.

She just has a problem with cooking, not with her brain, and she's certainly not some kind of cultist who equates beauty with religion.

After receiving Mei's affirmation, Liu Bai thoughtfully picked up a pair of chopsticks from the side.

"Little white mouse! What are you doing!"

When Mebius saw this, he panicked.

"Do what a guinea pig should do," Bai said matter-of-factly, picking up his chopsticks.

"No! I... I won't call you a guinea pig anymore! Don't eat this stuff! If you're having any problems, talk to the doctor, and I'll stand up for you! Let's not eat this stuff, okay? Chef Mao! Bring us one of each of your signature dishes!"

Mebius hurriedly reached out from behind and grabbed Liu Bai—his expression and tone were just like a panicked parent trying to stop their child from jumping off a building.

Although Mebius's small arms and legs couldn't do much, Liu Bai didn't want to commit suicide...

"That's right, young man, life is beautiful, don't take your own life." Master Mao also put down his big mouth at this time, and his face was serious and earnest, with the lecturing expression of a middle-aged man.

"...I just want to try it."

Liu Bai was quite curious about what this so-called third-person perspective was all about.

And isn't this without any risk of death?

"There's something wrong with having that idea."

Master Mao's words hit the nail on the head.

The first reaction I had upon seeing this thing was to try it; that's not something a normal person would say.

Although Mei didn't want to criticize her own cooking, she nodded silently to the side.

"Don't worry, just take a bite, it won't kill you."

Liu Bai is also quite rebellious. He's already at level 6 in terms of physical constitution. Could food poisoning really kill him?

Mei really shouldn't be a scientist; becoming a chef might actually be a better career path.

After making the decision, Liu Bai picked up the eyeballs and put them in his mouth.

"Huh? This thing can even burst with juice? The raw materials are—"

“…It’s beef.” Mebius struggled to support Liu Bai, who had just fainted.

He placed Liu Bai's head on his chest to relieve the pressure on his arms.

Do you really think that thing is only eaten because it looks strange?

Nobody eats it because this thing doesn't seem to be something that can be explained by known ingredients.

Mebius checked Liu Bai's breath.

"...Thankfully, I'm still alive."

...Of course he's still alive.

"...This is your mother's third-person perspective, huh?" Bai couldn't help but complain out loud—unfortunately, no one could hear him.

"This is practically poisoning someone to the point of their soul leaving their body!"

Well, you know what, Liu Bai has really become a camera locked onto Möbius now, providing Möbius's "third-person perspective."

He said that the third-person perspective is entered after the person falls into a coma... So that's how it's played, right?

Liu Bai adjusted his angle so that he could see Mei.

Mei looked at Liu Bai lying on the ground and silently swept the half-cut vegetables aside with the cleaver.

Clearly, even this "future master chef" was a little numb from lying on the ground.

Fortunately, Mebius didn't have time to cause trouble for Mei, so he simply grabbed a chopstick and used it to make Liu Bai vomit.

"So, that's why Mei is able to make beef look like this."

Liu Bai scratched his head, the burst of flavor in his mouth just now... was truly indescribable—and the texture didn't even taste like beef.

With Mebius's professional vomiting technique, Liu Bai's brief camera experience card quickly expired, and darkness fell again. When Liu Bai opened his eyes, Mebius was wiping his mouth while looking at him with concern.

"Are you alright, Xiao... Liu Bai? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"Uh...it's nothing, it's all over."
