Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 183 He drew a word on the table

With a single praise from Kong Chan, the number of likes for the Food Cauldron Heavenly Book increased by another 500.

Looking at the current data:

【Accumulated likes: 24316】

Compared to before he left home in the afternoon, Chen Xu's accumulated likes increased by more than 1,300.

Among these, 1100 likes came from Kongchan!
His daily basic like limit is 1000 points, but if he likes and consumes spiritual food, this limit will naturally be increased.

Currently, Kongchan has not yet actually received any high-level spiritual food from Chen Xu, and its specific upper limit is still unknown.

Chen Xu felt that he absolutely could not let Kong Chan go easily.

Catching one empty cicada is more effective than having multiple restaurants simultaneously promoting Yunhua Frost.

With Kongchan here, Chen Xu's accumulated likes might break 30,000 in a day or two, unlocking the [Literary Spirit Food]!
Chen Xu held the spirit wine cup in his hand, and although he had this thought in his mind, he was not impatient at all.

Because he knew that although Kong Chan seemed naive and a little silly at the moment, her power was being suppressed by something and she couldn't unleash it.

But if you treat the other person as a complete fool, then you're the one who's being foolish.

Who knows what cards this kind of person really holds?

Chen Xu wasn't in a hurry; he just kept drinking, his small gourd on the table drawing Kong Chan's eyes to him.

He seemed to have a restless urge to snatch the wine gourd from the table, but Chen Xu suddenly reached out and grabbed the gourd.

A rich and fragrant stream of liquor poured from the gourd, releasing an intoxicating aroma.

The young Taoist priest Kongchan couldn't help but swallow hard, and at the same time, his stomach rumbled again.

The young Taoist priest blushed, finally realizing that he should eat first.

The bowls and chopsticks were already set out on the table, and the rice had already been served by the waiter.

Kong Chan hurriedly grabbed a bowl of rice in front of her, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating.

He ate while picking up food, and at first his movements were a bit awkward, as if he hadn't eaten properly for a long time.

But soon, as he reached out with his chopsticks more often, his eating became more and more skillful.

He ate with gusto, eating very quickly.

Sometimes, when I taste something delightful, my eyes widen and I blurt out, "Delicious!"

【Like +10】

Normally, the food in this restaurant is not made by Chen Xu himself, but only has his own Yunhua Frost added. Therefore, ordinary people praise it a lot, and each time they can only get Chen Xu a "like +1".

This is the daily limit for a single person; this route mainly relies on word-of-mouth.

For example, even if someone has never eaten Zhuan Yu Lou's signature dishes, as long as they have heard of them, they might casually ask, "Are Zhuan Yu Lou's signature dishes really that delicious?"

Then someone else replied, "Absolutely! How could that be false? I ordered ten of their signature dishes at Zhuanyulou that day..."

Even if it's just bragging, as long as the person genuinely believes that Zhuanyulou's signature dishes are exceptionally delicious, Chen Xu can often get a "like +1".

This is reputation, which is similar in meaning to "a demon cooked by fire".

Otherwise, if the signature dishes were limited in quantity, how could Chen Xu still get thousands of likes every day through this channel?

But these things are ultimately random and require a long-term approach; they are not as satisfying as the little Taoist priest Kongchan praising him a few more times.

Chen Xu wants both immediate acclaim and sustained success; he won't let either go.

He slowly sipped the Drunken Spirit Wine in his cup, waiting for Kong Chan to devour all the food on the table like a whirlwind.

"Burp!" Kūchā let out a burp.

The unpleasant burp first made his face stiffen, then he straightened his back and finally understood something.

So Kong Chan cleared her throat and fixed her eyes on the wine gourd in Chen Xu's hand.

"I have been fasting for a long time and suddenly had an epiphany. This... I can occasionally taste human food, just to experience the mortal world."

"By the way, your wine?"

He still had his eye on the spirit wine in Chen Xu's hands.

But how could such a precious wine be obtained so easily?

Chen Xu smiled and remained silent again. Kong Chan was extremely anxious. His eyes darted left and right, and suddenly he exclaimed, "Oh dear!"

“You…right, you have a calamity!” He leaned forward, suddenly lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, “Brother Chen, let me tell you, I will help you get rid of your calamity. If you spare me a few jugs of spirit wine, you will definitely not lose out.”

Chen Xu asked, "Young Taoist priest, why don't you tell me what calamity I am facing?"

The young Taoist priest Kongchan stretched out his hand and said, "Brother Chen, I see a bluish aura on your forehead, which is a sign that your luck is blocked. It must be that some evil force has its eyes on you. But to tell you the specifics, you must write a word on my hand."

"Observing the qi (vital energy) can predict one's fate, and interpreting characters can reveal subtle clues. Hey, for specific details, we still need to interpret the characters."

This is interesting.

The art of divination has always been very mysterious to Chen Xu. Although he has the Jade Cicada Robe, he actually knows nothing about divination.

However, writing directly on the hand of the young Taoist Kongchan is absolutely unacceptable. Who knows if there is some unknown secret involved?

Chen Xu remained wary of this mysterious young Taoist priest.

He paused for a moment, then extended a finger and lightly drew a line on the table.

This is "one".

He only wrote the character "一"!

The young Taoist priest Kongchan looked up at him, and initially, there was no obvious change in his expression.

He blurted out, "You actually wrote a 'one'!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a sudden and unexpected shock gradually filled Kong Chan's bright eyes.

His expression gradually shifted to one of shock, as if ice and snow were collapsing, and his right hand, which was outstretched on the table, suddenly made a finger-counting gesture.

"One, you actually wrote one..."

The young Taoist priest muttered to himself:
"A single stroke of ink reveals the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man."

A single stroke can open the heavens and determine yin and yang.

One thing at a time, cross-section, cross-section…

The young Taoist priest gradually slowed down his finger-pinching, and his hand movements became increasingly sluggish.

His whispers, however, became more rapid, and his tone unconsciously carried a greater sense of frenzy:

"No, that's not right, it shouldn't be like this, I must have miscalculated!"

Yes, that's right, I miscalculated. Let's start over... You, you've been targeted by someone with ulterior motives. The taller the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. Young man, achieving fame at a young age is no easy feat.
Why don't you become my disciple, and I can protect you for a while...?

Kong Chan pointed at Chen Xu, but before she could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"not good!"

He then uttered two more words.

A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.

The young Taoist priest, spitting blood, was truly pitiful.

But perhaps it was precisely because he spat out this mouthful of blood that the backlash from the divination he suffered was not too severe.

So much so that Kong Chan's first reaction was to quickly wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.

He also stood up at the same time, raised his head slightly, and looked stubbornly at Chen Xu, saying, "I am fine. If you become my disciple, I can still protect you..."

Before the words were even finished, his expression changed again.

Oh no, another rush of blood to my head!

This time, however, the young Taoist clenched his teeth tightly. He just stared at Chen Xu without making a sound, but suddenly he fell straight backward.

Good grief, is this another repeat of what happened on the street before?

Chen Xu immediately activated a wisp of breeze to support the young Taoist's body and prevent him from falling.

Then he moved his feet and quickly flashed to Kong Chan's side.

boom!
Kushin was firmly pressed back into the chair and sat down.

Chen Xu asked, "Master Kongchan, are you alright?"

Kong Chan gritted her teeth and said, "I am proficient in astrology, medicine and divination, so naturally I am very good."

"In that case, thank you for your calculations, Daoist Master. I will gladly accept this gourd of spirit wine as a gift."

"Great, great!" Kong Chan was overjoyed.

The spirit wine was delivered to Kong Chan. The young Taoist took the spirit wine, opened his mouth and drank it, swallowing the spirit wine and blood back into his stomach.

"Good wine!" he exclaimed.
