New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 42 Avoiding the Destructive Ending

the next day.

When Lei Ye woke up from the sofa, it was already around eight or nine in the morning.

Last night, with the help of Ai Jiejie, Lei Ye discovered the secret hidden in the basement of this mansion. It was an extraordinary alchemy studio. All the tools inside were top-notch. In addition to the various potions in bottles and jars whose effects were indistinguishable, Lei Ye also found the out-of-print gender-changing potion that had once shocked him.

The previous owner of this mansion must have been a great alchemist, but a bit of a weird one.

Soon after that, Buyadi came back panting and shouting "Don't guide". Judging from the marks on her hands, Sekbosi must have been badly hurt by her sudden attack.

I can be said to have saved Sekopos.

In short, now that Buyadi is back, Lei Ye can finally have a good night's sleep, and he slept very comfortably.

At this moment, a blonde woman suddenly poked her head out from the side of the sofa.

"Are you awake?"

Lei Ye looked up and was stunned.

Why does this scene feel so familiar?

"When did you come here?"

"It was last night, Mr. Ohno," she said happily, sticking out her tongue and grinning, "I came here just because I smelled the smell."

Alas Kun-Lai, she really acts like a dog.

Because of the so-called "date" before, Lei Ye suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively, "Wild Flower Orphanage?"

In an instant, Kunlai's eyes lit up, almost to the point of being moist.

"You finally remembered me?"

No, because in Lei Ye's memory, that place was full of children, the oldest of whom was no more than ten years old.

Well, you know what, I actually remember a ten-year-old golden retriever puppy who was very fond of eating. I remember her very clearly, but that was probably a long time ago.

This big guy doesn't look like that? The kid is very small.

Wait, just because he's a demi-human?
A fragrance wafted out.

Lei Ye turned his head and saw Buyadi, who was wearing an apron, walking out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup.

She hummed, in a happy mood, and walked lightly to the living room.

No, this scene feels familiar. Even the smell is familiar.

However, Lei Ye was not very excited this time. He stood up and walked to Buyadi, looked at the things on the table, and sure enough, it was that bowl of chicken soup again.

"I don't drink." Lei Ye shook his head.

He had tasted it before, so he did not deny that it was a very authentic bowl of Northeastern-style chicken soup, but he could not be sure whether some strange seasoning was added to the soup.

Drink, you can’t drink.

"What? You don't want to drink it? That's weird. You said it tasted great, so why don't you even want to try it this time?" Buyadi's happy expression suddenly turned gloomy. She patted the table with one hand and patted Lei Ye's butt with the other. "But I'm sorry, it's not up to you. You have to drink the whole bowl."

Lei Ye faced the gloomy face and saw that the light in Buyadi's eyes had dimmed.

very scary.
The hand that she was patting Lei Ye's butt, suddenly something appeared in her hand.

Electric shock device.

It's over.

I don’t know if it was because of the incident with Sekbosi or because of that confession, but after this flashback, Buyadhi obviously became an even sicker yandere.

How should I put it? I could clearly feel that her love for me was no longer hidden but had become clearly visible, but her attitude towards me was no longer gentler than before, and she even began to not mind using some rough means.

Buyadi hugged her from behind, held her tightly, and spoke softly.

"Ah, I really don't want this to happen, but I worked so hard to make it. I'll be very happy if you can drink it honestly."

To correct me, Buyadi is still very gentle, but it's just her tone that is gentle.

As she said these words, her electric shock device tapped Lei Ye's back, as if looking for the right position.

"I asked Miss Buyadi directly if she had added anything to the chicken soup."

"Ah, you already know it," Buyadi said, not feeling embarrassed at all, but happy instead, "It's love, my love, you must drink it well."

"I can't."

".Drink! You must drink! If you don't drink, I will..."

The gentleness on Buyadi's face disappeared instantly, and she directly stuffed the stun gun into Lei Ye's crotch.

Crackling crackling crackling.

Electric arcs flashed, but Lei Ye remained motionless, looking at Buyadi expressionlessly.

no feelings.

Buyadi, you underestimate me too much. Since the day I learned the Lightning Arrow, you don't know how many times I have shocked it. This rod must be the one with the highest lightning resistance in the world. A mere stun gun can't even activate it.

The king of electrical endurance, petite Lei Ye.

"Haha, it's really that awesome, haha. So fun." Buyadi's laughing voice.

Sure enough, she had seen every No. 18 in his memory over the years, and because she had seen him operate it, she wanted to try it herself.

Oh, what would my daily life be like if I were really with her?

Hanging on a hook, hanging in the sky, drinking chicken soup in the morning, and then stuffing an electric shock device into the crotch.

Oh my, I'm so scared.

"I'll ask you again, you really don't want to drink?"

Buyadi placed the electric shock device on Lei Ye's neck.

Lei Yeya gritted his teeth and shouted, "No!"

My neck doesn't have that kind of patience, but if you have the ability, just give me an electric shock. So what if you knock me out? I just won't drink it!
But the next second, Buyadi suddenly smiled and rubbed her head against Lei Ye's face.

"If you don't want to drink, then don't drink. Look at your fearless look. It makes me want to electrocute you. Stick with me~" She rubbed him contentedly, then walked towards the bathroom with a strange smile, "Hehehe~"

At the same time, he waved the stun gun in his hand, turned around to look at Lei Ye evilly, and stuck out his tongue.

In an instant, Lei Ye's heart skipped a beat and he knew what she was going to do.

Don’t do that! I drink, I drink, isn’t that okay?
Lei Ye's face was grim as he drank the bowl of chicken soup in big gulps.

The taste is as delicious as it was then, why does it have a salty and fishy taste like tears when I swallow it now?

"Aha."

When he put the bowl down, Buyadi had already come to the opposite side of him, holding her face and staring at him with a shy and happy look.

"How should I put it? Is it because you already know this is my love but you are still willing to drink it? This time I feel even happier. Oh, love is such a wonderful thing. Why didn't I meet you earlier?"

It's as if it was voluntary.

Anyway, Buyadi was happy after drinking the chicken soup. She hummed a little song from the Demon King's City and walked towards the basement. Lei Ye looked at her back, sighed, wiped his mouth, and began to set up today's breakfast.

Then he came to the door and had the conversation with Murphy that had already happened twice.

Can I skip it? Oh, can I?

Returning to the living room, Lei Ye passed Kun-Lai, who was already sitting at the table, eating with tears streaming down his face, and walked to the basement, to the alchemy studio. Buyadi was looking around with interest.

"Is this place good? To be honest, there are really no people who are good at refining potions in Jiaotu. Should we send a few high-level demons to study here?" she said thoughtfully.

This is a top-notch studio that even an outsider can see. The equipment inside all exudes the smell of money. The sum of these things alone is enough to buy this mansion.

This is strange, haven’t those people from the guild confirmed the items in this house?

I looked at Jiejie. She was curled up on the only small sofa in the studio, sleeping comfortably.

Lei Ye tried to pat her, but unfortunately she didn't wake up.

Next to her, Buyadi picked up the potion on the table and played with it with great interest.

Eh?
Looking at those potions of various colors, Lei Ye was stunned for a moment, thinking that all the potions had been taken away last night.

"Interesting, very interesting. Darling, do you want to guess what potion this is?" Bu Yadi showed the small red bottle in her hand.

Red, as a medicine, generally means.
"Healing potion?" Lei Ye answered tentatively.

Buyadi shook her head. "I used my magic eye to look at it. Although this thing looks like a healing potion, it is actually something called a rage potion. I have never seen it before. It is a very rare potion that can directly improve attribute values."

"Oh, it's good."

"Your tone is too bland. I see you don't understand at all. Although the effects of the same type of potions cannot be stacked, even a great person like me has never heard of potions not being taken with food. In other words—"

As she spoke, she struck a gorgeous pose and pointed at Raino.

"If you have a large amount of this potion, your exaggerated enhancement ability can be further improved!"

Lei Ye's eyes lit up.

Got it, got it!

There are very few potions on the market that can directly improve attribute values ​​like this. Even the brave team has not been able to collect them. But now it seems that they do exist, just very rare.

And when this potion is used together with his buff-type food, the buff effects can be stacked!

One more thing, the previous buffs were added to the hero, and his own attributes were very high, but not high enough.

And what if this already exaggerated gain is stacked with other gains and then applied to Buyadi?

My Godzilla.

There were many other potions on the table. Bu Yadi identified them and found that half of them were very useful and had amazing effects, while the other half were a little wrong and also had amazing effects.

For example, the super sexy potion is similar to Lei Ye’s safflower tea, but its effect is several times more exaggerated than that of safflower tea.

Another example is the poisonous potion, which has both the effects of 'sleeping' and 'diarrhea'.

Another example is the Vicious Sensitivity Potion, which is a combined version of the three effects of the two potions mentioned above.

Listening to Buyadi's description, Lei Ye was jealous of the alchemist's talent from the bottom of his heart.

"Then the question is, is there a possibility," Lei Ye hesitated and pointed at Jiejie who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, "Is this the genius alchemist?"

"It's not impossible. After all, she was carefully selected from hundreds of slaves. It's normal for her to have some special abilities. Besides, her profession is an alchemist, which is suitable for her. However," Buyadi looked at Jiejie with red eyes, "with her -10 intelligence points, these potions may become a masterpiece."

But the problem is, you didn't have these medicines last night.
Lei Ye silently decided to bring Jiejie with him when he returned to Jiaotu. It seemed that the most beautiful girl in Hillius was not very simple.

However, this matter will be put aside for the future. Bu Yadi's combat effectiveness does not need to be further improved for the time being. Now, there are more important things to talk about.

While having breakfast on the first floor, Lei Ye returned to the original question at the table.

That is about the knights.

Lei Ye polished up what Sekobosi said and talked about what they had been investigating in the previous round. The conspiracy behind it was actually very simple: all the high-level knights in the entire royal city were controlled by a certain person or organization under hypnosis.

It's like a legion of female knights in the butter world.

"So, the Frey Empire is secretly training an army?" After hearing Lei Ye's words, Buyadi didn't even put down her chopsticks, with a look of disdain on her face, "They are sneaking around with such a small matter. If they are specifically training a few heroes to develop secretly, then I really have to think about it. What kind of knights? Would I be afraid of the knights?"

As she spoke, she squinted at Lei Ye and said, "You are not stupid enough to try to rescue those hypnotized female knights. It's too much trouble. I won't accompany you on such a matter. As for the red-haired knight sister, she is probably trying to cheer herself up and continue to look for a way home. Just help her here."

Having said this, Buyadi suddenly became serious.

"Lei Ye, now you also share this ability of mine, so I hope you can realize that this power is not as omnipotent as you think. Sometimes you think you can do everything by rewinding the game, but it is not true. You can't save all the people, and you can't do all the things. Time seems infinite, but it is also limited. Sometimes you have to give up something."

She warned Lei Ye seriously.

'You can't save everyone.'

Somehow, these words felt like a weight on Lei Ye's chest, echoing in his mind.

"Don't worry, I've already told you that I'm not as great and glorious as you think. I've never thought about this kind of thing. And what I wanted to tell you is that I hope you won't continue the investigation for the time being," Lei Ye let out a sigh, "I'm worried about you, Buyadi. The other party's hypnosis magic is so powerful. What if you get caught?"

“That’s impossible”

"Gender change potion." Lei Ye took out a small pink bottle and interrupted Buyadi, who was still speaking with disdain. "You never thought that your gender would be changed by the potion, so you drank the potion without hesitation, but that's what happened. But, what if this potion has a hypnotic effect?"

"The more powerful you are, the more cautious you need to be. Maybe there are many eyes watching you. I have always been shocked that there is a potion that even the Demon King cannot resist. This is simply unreasonable. So I am wondering if the so-called gender-changing potion is just an attempt to create a potion that can make high-level demons, or even the Demon King, vulnerable to it?"

The disdain on Buyadi's face gradually disappeared.

She put down her bowl and chopsticks and sat up quietly.

That pretty face showed a rare expression of someone thinking seriously about something, and there was a hint of majesty in her sharp eyebrows.

This question came to Lei Ye's mind when he saw the female knight from the Silver Wolf Squad.

Such a powerful person, one of the few S-level explorers in this country, suddenly, everything she had was taken away by hypnosis, and she became someone's puppet.

Indeed, Buyadi said that her mental strength was strong enough that even the charm of Sekopos had no effect on her. However, confidence did not mean that she could not be cautious, because the magic of hypnosis was precisely the biggest nemesis of the ability to roll back.

If I save the game while in hypnosis, then everything will be over.

"I understand. Let's go back to Scorched Earth." Buyadi suddenly stood up.

Lei Ye was stunned, "So sudden?"

"Well, I just thought about it, and what you said makes sense. I once underestimated your potion and suffered a lot afterwards. But hypnosis is a magic that will cause more suffering than just a little pain once you are hit. Let's go find Grady, she will have a solution."

Speaking of Greedy, Lei Ye's mind quickly flashed with the face of Miss Greed who had taken his first blood.

His inherent skills are unknown, but he is an excellent engineer.

I see. Can I ask her to make an anti-hypnosis magic gadget or something?

Lei Ye was a little excited. On the one hand, as a half-baked engineer, he could also participate in this matter and learn some techniques from Grady. On the other hand, there were a few people he wanted to meet in Scorched Earth. Although they had not known each other for a long time, he had a very deep impression of them. The short separation made him miss them very much.

There seemed to be a light sound in my ears.

'woi～'

It made him raise the corner of his mouth subconsciously.

But the next second, he hallucinated hearing other people begging in a low voice.

"If there is a next time, the next time, please come to me."

Lei Ye's mouth drooped.

He had a feeling that this time when he returned to the Scorched Earth, he would not be back for a long time, and that Sekopos would continue to search for the child of destiny in her wonderful house.

Thinking of this, my heart aches and I feel a little uncomfortable.

"Then let's set off in the afternoon. I have something to do in the morning and I need to meet someone." Lei Ye said in a low voice.
