Crossover Anime: Me, the Yellow-Haired Guy, Joins a Chat Group

Page 383

After all, he roughly understood the situation of these three people. Even if he didn't understand, the emotional fluctuations emanating from them betrayed them.

Instead of leaving, the three people walked over hesitantly.

Lin Qi watched the three approach without saying a word, as if to say, "I'm waiting for you to speak first."

At this point, Kobayashi Rindou was still quite bold and mustered up the courage to speak.

“Mentor, I’m wondering why, ever since I ate your noodles last time, I feel increasingly uncomfortable if I don’t eat your food.”

How can this situation be resolved?

Kobayashi Rindou felt really tormented thinking about how he had been trying to find her these past few days, but couldn't, and how he had been thinking about her cooking even while eating.

The other two are the same.

As time went on, the construction dormitory became increasingly dull for the three of them, especially since there were no works made by Lin Qi, and they were filled with pain.

Lin Qi wasn't surprised to hear this; in fact, he was surprised that there was no other explanation. Didn't that mean he hadn't used enough drugs?

After all, I was looked down upon and questioned at the time, so even though I showed mercy, it was a disaster for those people.

Especially when the other party chooses to surround and block him at this time, it seems as if they are afraid that if he doesn't show up next time, they will not have another chance to come looking for him.

"Regarding this issue, all I can say is to occasionally enjoy one of my dishes. That's the best solution. After all, the reason you all acted that way is because the noodles I made before contained the power of a chef's heart."

"There are two solutions. The first is to occasionally eat one of my dishes. The second is to find someone better than me to diminish the influence of my cooking. But don't even think about the second one. I don't believe there is anyone in this world better than me."

At this moment, Lin Qi patted himself on the back. Of course, it wasn't self-praise, but rather a matter of truth. These people really wanted to say that they could find it, but they couldn't bring themselves to say it. After all, they had seen the other party's cooking before. They had even squeezed in a crowd and spent a lot of money to buy dishes featuring celebrity chefs because they couldn't eat anymore. They had even used a lot of connections, only to find that the dishes were bland and tasteless.

"Um, isn't there any other solution?"

At that moment, a girl who looked like a little girl but was actually an adult, holding a doll, reached out and tugged at Lin Qi's clothes.

Lin Qi secretly thought there really was a way, something that would be easy for him. However, he didn't intend to help in that way; judging from the way these three looked, it seemed like he could gain three more little lovers here.

Lin Qi decisively used his god-level acting skills to seriously deceive people.

"Regarding this, I can only say there's nothing I can do; there are only two paths. 0"

After hearing this, Kobayashi Rindou felt somewhat helpless. To be honest, those miserable days were really hard to endure, especially after eating the other person's meal. The sudden feeling of finally being able to live normally again was really unpleasant.

"Mentor, aren't you going to take responsibility? After all, this is the mess you created."

Kobayashi Rindou looked at the culprit in front of him and immediately said that he would take responsibility. After all, this person was the one who caused this trouble. Didn't the other party intend to do or say anything?

After hearing that the other party had asked him to take charge and that the other two had also nodded in agreement, Lin Qi immediately crossed his arms, looking like he had the upper hand.

"What does this have to do with me? After all, it's your own fault for being too weak. If you had the strength, you could definitely handle it. Putting everything else aside, if you had the heart of a chef, and your beginner chef heart level was higher than that of the Food Demon King, then you should be able to handle it."

"But it's because you don't have it. To put it bluntly, you have to pay a little price to eat that kind of good food. I'm just asking you, do you think it's worth paying for everything for that bowl of noodles?"

Lin Qi made a series of visits at this moment, and for the past three years, the ultimate deliciousness brought by that fabric couldn't help but pop into his mind. Honestly, was it worth it to give everything?

They might try to be stubborn, but they all knew very well that they couldn't get past the hurdle of being chefs. Whether it was worth it or not, all three of them knew very well that it was absolutely worth it, and that sacrificing everything would be a huge gain.

But that feeling was so uncomfortable.

"Could you perhaps cook a meal for us occasionally?"

At this moment, Nene, the bespectacled girl from Kinokunori, knew very well that she couldn't have the mentality of getting something for free if she wanted to eat the other party's food, especially not a chef like this. So she directly asked for permission.

It's obvious they're implying we should pay for it.

...

P.S.: Please, handsome guys and beautiful girls, add this to your favorites, recommend it, share it, and give it flowers! Please do everything you can! If you haven't added it to your favorites yet, please do so! Thank you so much! I'm bowing down to you all!

Chapter 736 Taking advantage of someone's misfortune? I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

Lin Qi was speechless after hearing what the person in front of him said. This was clearly a request for payment, but the question was, could he even afford it? Seriously, what kind of person did he take me for?

At this moment, Lin Qi kindly reminded the other party.

"So what price do you think you're willing to pay? After all, the person you're hiring is me. Don't talk to me about money. As long as I'm willing, I can easily get my hands on a group even bigger than Totsuki."

"To put it bluntly, even outside the culinary industry, your so-called prime ministers and Chinese elites all know who I am."

"The kind of person who would even have to accept it if I took a hit from them."

"What do you think you'd be willing to pay to have me cook for you?"

At this moment, Lin Qi pulled up a chair and sat down, crossing his legs as he asked the three men with an arrogant expression.

“You can also think I’m bragging. Isn’t your family a long-standing tradition? You can ask your dad to find out what the name Lin Qi means.”

Ji Zhiguo Ningning was called out. After coming out, she was stunned for a moment. Then, after hearing these words, she fell silent. She really hadn't thought about this matter. However, the other party's words just now even suggested that her father inquire about it, which meant that her father should be able to find out. Therefore, the answer should not be much different from what the other party said.

In this situation, how can I ask the other party to help? This is a big problem, and I am currently in a dilemma.

"Then why did you become a specially appointed lecturer at Totsuki? What price did Totsuki pay to hire you?"

At this moment, Nene asked the question, and the other two also lit up. After all, the fact that she could become a specially appointed tutor here and attend classes meant that Totsuki must have something that was worth her attention.

After hearing what the other person said, Lin Qi really wanted to ask, "Are any of you members of the chat group?"

But saying this out loud is pointless, so let's give these people an alternative answer.

"Erina and Alice are both my people. To put it bluntly, I've taken both of their granddaughters with me. So, out of consideration for family ties, I'm just here to help out."

The three women: ...

The three of them never expected it was for this reason.

At this moment, Kobayashi Rindou also gritted his teeth and spoke up.

"So you chose to come here to help because those two are your women?"

His expression was subtle as he said this.

"if not?"

"You really don't think anyone can afford to hire me, do you? I don't lack money, and I don't lack anything else. In this situation, who can afford to hire me? The only one who can afford it is Xingxi."

"Or rather, I don't mind helping my own people."

At this moment, Lin Qi crossed his legs and put his hands together in a 10-point gesture as he looked at these people.

Lin Qi spoke frankly and businesslike, which made the expressions of the three men turn sour.

Helping your own people—but how do you become their people? It's nothing more than getting those three to be each other's lovers, or helping others in some other way.

"You're taking advantage of the situation."

Kobayashi Rindou spoke in a frustrated tone, never expecting to be taken advantage of like this in his life.

Lin Qi shook his head after hearing what the other person said, indicating that there was a problem with your statement.

"Taking advantage of someone's misfortune? You're overthinking it. I'm just stating a real issue."

"I wasn't bragging about this, nor was I taking advantage of your misfortune. I was just stating the truth. The most important thing is that you don't have anything that interests me, and you're not even on my side, so why should I help you?"

Lin Qi's words implied that since they were not related, why should he give them a reason?

The three of them understood that this made sense; they were not related to each other, so why should they help them?

Moreover, the other party was simply telling the truth. After all, they didn't force or demand anything of them; they were just stating the facts.

If the other party directly asks to be my lover or something like that, then you can say that the other party is taking advantage of your misfortune. But what's most infuriating is that the other party didn't make such a request. They just told the truth that if they wanted help, it would have to be someone from their own circle or offer something that would interest them.

I don't have any bargaining chips, or if I do, it's only myself that interests the other party!

Lin Qi looked at the three men's various expressions: some hesitant, some apprehensive, some uneasy, and some reckless.

The expressions on these three people's faces at this moment were quite fascinating. Their expressions changed constantly, and their emotions shifted continuously.

Lin Qi was also somewhat speechless. Did some things really need to be thought about for so long? Wasn't it enough to just agree decisively and without thinking? Why think about it for so long? Wasn't he just making himself uncomfortable?

As the beneficiary, Lin Qi was acting completely out of touch with reality, putting himself on a pedestal.

Without hesitation, Kobayashi Rindou pulled the two aside to discuss the matter.

He led the person out of the classroom, since it was best not to let this person hear some private matters; it would be too embarrassing.

After pulling the person out, Kobayashi Rindou looked at her two best friends with headaches on their faces. To be honest, she never expected that an unexpected encounter would turn things into this mess, which was really too difficult.

"Ningning, Taozi, what do you two say about this?"

Kobayashi Rindou was not his usual carefree self; instead, he looked like he had a terrible headache.

"I do not know."

Even a legitimate little girl looked completely bewildered at this moment.

Kinoko Ningning kept herself calm, pushed up her glasses, and spoke the truth.

“Senior Longdan, I believe you have already experienced that unbearable feeling, and now the other party is the only one who can end all of this. But I personally think it is best to find out who the other party is. If what the other party says is true, then the only thing we can do is to make a deal with ourselves.”

As someone from a prominent family, Kinokuni Nene clearly understands the concept of making choices and sacrifices, rather than simply knowing how to make noodles.

...

P.S.: Please, handsome guys and beautiful girls, add this to your favorites, recommend it, share it, and give it flowers! Please do everything you can! If you haven't added it to your favorites yet, please do so! Thank you so much! I'm bowing down to you all!

Chapter 737 It's already in the bowl, how can you call it fishing?

"Ningning, I'm leaving this matter to you to investigate. If it's really like that, then we can only accept our fate."

Kobayashi Rindou clearly recalled his experiences over the past few days. If the other party was truly that precious, then the only thing he could do was accept his fate. He even had a thought in his heart that if he accepted his fate, it would be a question whether the other party wanted him or not.

But I'm not bad-looking, am I? I can't possibly stoop to that level. Becoming someone's mistress, someone no one else wants, right? No way! I can't possibly be that bad, can I?

At this moment, Kobayashi Rindou was secretly encouraging himself, but at the same time, he was inexplicably filled with sorrow, after all, he never thought that he would fall to such a state one day.

Kinokuni Nene was also a little worried, but the most important thing was to find out the other party's identity first. If what the other party said was true, then the only thing to do was to accept her fate.

After all, in this situation, accepting one's fate is the best option. There's no point in refusing to accept it unless you can get through it, but you know very well that you can't.

"Indeed, I'll go check it out and get this person's contact information first."

At this moment, Ji Zhiguo Ningning pushed up her glasses and made a decision. The consensus reached over the past three years was that if there was really no other way, then they could only let the other party do as they pleased.

Because of his excellent hearing, Lin Qi overheard the conversation between the three. He could only say that he was lucky to have encountered some domineering people who dared to negotiate and would permanently block him. It was only because he was willing to listen to their feeble explanations and futile pleas that he was willing to listen. If it were some other domineering person, he would not have bothered to talk to these people, especially since they had already lost everything the moment they chose to negotiate.

However, he wasn't the cruel type, and he always treated the beautiful ones with special favor. So when the three returned, he showed no emotion on his face, as if nothing mattered. Of course, with the three of them wearing colored filters at that moment, it seemed like he was sitting back and letting the three of them have no chance to struggle.

If Lin Qi knew, he would also cry foul, saying that he didn't think that way at all, and that it was just these three guys' wishful thinking.

Sitting on a fishing platform and fishing means waiting for the fish to bite, which is uncertain. No matter how good the fish is, all sorts of unexpected things can happen that prevent the fish from biting. But now, you can say that you have the fish in your grasp. To put it bluntly, the fish is already in your bowl.

So there's absolutely no need to worry about being off-key.

"Professor, could I have your contact information?"

As the leader-like figure among the three, Kobayashi Rindou braced herself and spoke up.

Lin Qi did not agree immediately, but instead pondered the matter.

There's a strange sense of frustration about this. Since when did the three of them have to think this way when they ask for a man's contact information? It's utterly absurd.

Not to mention, normally it's others who ask for their contact information, but this situation feels like the opposite of what's going on, and the three of them can't say anything, they can only wait for the other party to nod in agreement.

This incident made these three people feel very frustrated, but at this moment, even if they felt frustrated, it was useless; they had to endure it.

Lynch sighed after a full two minutes.

"Okay, normally I wouldn't give my contact information to strangers."

Lin Qi's words left the three of them feeling helpless. The same thought popped into their minds: Did he really think that the three of them also wanted the contact information of a strange man? Not to mention, he had given the three of them to the culprit.

But can you say such a thing? Obviously not, you can only wear an awkward, ingratiating smile.

This is especially important now.

Lin Qi gave his contact information to the three of them and told them not to bother him unless necessary. The three of them immediately ran away, because Lin Qi's gaze was really too much for them to handle.

After resolving the issues with the three guys, Lin Qi stretched and followed the scent to a cooking room. There, he saw several people busy at work. Unlike the other rooms, this one was clearly much more luxurious and well-equipped.

Most importantly, it wasn't just three people who were busy like this; people were also working in the other rooms and cooking areas, experimenting with the dishes he had just taught them.

Lin Qi looked at these people who were so focused, and even took out a timer to keep track of time. He really wanted to ask, "Are they really trying to replicate my dishes 100%?"

Lin Qi could only silently wish these people success in the face of their unrealistic ideas. He didn't believe they could perfectly replicate his dishes; if they did, what would become of his reputation?

Lin Qi chose to stay where the two sisters and their secretary were. The three of them glanced at the time during a break from their work and noticed that someone had appeared, but none of them paid any attention to it.

After all, it's their time to practice cooking, so this guy standing at the top should just stay put.

Lin Qi didn't care about what these people were ignoring. Instead, he watched from the sidelines until they cooked the first batch. Even though these guys didn't let him try it, he still managed to get a feel for the flavors and textures.
