……

At the same time, in the Black Tower office, a small figure from the Black Tower was staring into the projection of a beautiful girl with an indifferent expression...

"Orange blossoms, champagne, sugar cubes..."

In the holographic projection, Ruan Mei gently scooped up a piece of crystal clear amber jelly with a small spoon - the marble pattern like winter window grilles appeared extremely soft in the sunlight, with even twinkling stars in it.

She put it in her mouth, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and murmured softly:

"And most importantly, the meteor fragments on the Amber King..."

"How do you feel about it? I don't really like desserts, so give me your opinion."

Heita looked at his friend who loved desserts, wondering what kind of answer he would give - as a genius, apart from research, desserts were her only remaining hobby, and he was also one of the few experts she could find.

"This is indeed an excellent dessert. Although it's not the best jelly I've ever had, in terms of taste or texture, but..."

Ruan Mei took another bite, a few thoughts flashing in her eyes:

"How did she do it?"

"Yes, I'm also curious about how this guy did it..."

There was also a piece of jelly next to Heita's hand. She looked at the seemingly normal dessert and asked in confusion:

"Changing the physical properties of something isn't difficult for us, but even we need the help of machinery and other tools. Furthermore, turning the Amber King's broken stars into digestible and absorbable food is no simple task..."

"More importantly, that girl just treated this as an ordinary ingredient..."

Heita gave an analogy: "Just put it in and stir it, and then it's done!"

"Are there any other observations?"

"Gone."

The puppet spreads its hands:

"She's only been with me for a few days, so I don't have much time to do a more detailed experiment. She's also said she needs to go for a walk. Considering her mental state, I'm considering whether to give her some freedom."

Ruan Mei nodded:

"You can try. After all, if she wants to, the makeshift containment chamber won't be able to trap her. Plus, she's been so gentle these days. At least she doesn't have any intention of hurting others, right?"

"Ok, I know……"

Heita sighed as he spoke. "But then again, those guys in the company are really stingy... Every time there's a starquake with tens of thousands of tons of star sand, they only give away this little bit. These guys are really hopeless. I originally wanted a bigger piece..."

"You know those guys well. It's a miracle that they can pass on what they consider to be the Amber King's gift to outsiders. By the way, I might have to pay you a visit soon..."

……

……

Yue Yan certainly didn't know that Heita was discussing with another genius how to deal with her at this moment - the suspended air bed in the containment chamber was so comfortable that she felt her thinking became dull after lying on it. While checking the system panel, she was thinking about how to escape from this place.

She couldn't stay in the containment cell forever, so she had to find a way to escape.

The first is the traditional Beijing jailbreak method - digging a tunnel.

As one of the classic prison break routines, it has been enduring and can be seen in all major prison break movies.

If she were in a World War II prisoner-of-war camp, this method might actually work, but considering the interstellar high-tech materials used in the containment chamber...

Yue Yan glanced at the spoon he usually used to eat. That thing was only slightly wider than two fingers, so he wanted to rely on it to dig out -

Tsk, there really isn't much hope.

The vent was integrated with the wall. She had also tested its hardness, and it was the kind that could crack Dao Ge's forehead, so it couldn't be opened.

It seems that the only way at present is to accumulate points by opening recipes to unlock system functions and find other ways to see if you can escape. There are only two unlocked recipes, in addition to the amber jelly, there is also a joy chocolate.

The main materials are the mask of the Masked Fool and cocoa beans, etc. The appearance is a thumb-sized mask chocolate. After eating it, people will feel happy and laugh unconsciously. It is useless and is mainly for fun.

The cheapest lottery module required fifty points to unlock, and she only had twenty points now, so it was a long way off...

"Oh, forget it, don't think about it anymore, go to sleep."

Yue Yan turned over in annoyance, turned off the bed's floating function, covered herself with the quilt, and closed her eyes.

She said she was sleeping, but actually she didn't sleep very well. She was very particular about her bed. And even though she had traveled through time for almost a week, she didn't really forget the past like the protagonists in those novels who became heartless and started a new life after traveling through time.

However, her parents had passed away many years ago, and she didn't have any particularly important relatives there. Only a few ordinary friends remained. I'm sure she would completely forget about them after a while...

The girl thought so, and slowly fell asleep accompanied by the fragrance of citrus flowers, and slowly began to snore evenly and rhythmically...

……

……

The next morning, Yue Yan got up before five o'clock in the system time, and washed up and prepared to cook in a very short time.

This was because she got up a little late on purpose because she was lazy - she used to be the owner and cook of a small restaurant. When she just graduated, she perfectly implemented the saying "get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs". She evolved directly from a college student to a big beast. Now she goes to bed at nine o'clock in the evening and gets up at four thirty in the morning, which is much better than before.

“H…ah?”

The girl yawned, dragging her slightly heavy upper body, and went to the bedside to get her key to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. After searching for a long time without finding it, she suddenly realized that she had traveled through time.

Habits formed over the years cannot be changed in a short period of time. Similar things have happened many times in recent days.

"Good morning, Miss Yue Yan, your sleep and rest schedule is as healthy as ever."

A clear female voice came from the speaker in the containment chamber:

"Can we start today's experiment?"

"Ah, good morning, Christine... Let's get started. I've already washed up. For today's experiment, please give me some edible food for normal people, or some rare and special materials. Thank you very much."

Yue Yan yawned - the person talking to her was Christine, a senior staff member of the Strange Object Containment Department. She was also one of the few people allowed by the Black Tower to access her "confidential project". She had a friendly personality and was good-looking, and she quite liked that girl.

The downside is that this guy often gives him some weird things to try, such as the damaged engine of Grammer's Iron Cavalry, Wuwubo caught from somewhere, etc.

Chapter 4: Meteorite Projectile

"Well, okay, considering your request, we have added rare materials related to the power of destiny to your food list today..."

Christine nervously operated the feeding machine and put some "ingredients" for making breakfast into it.

Even though he had been with the girl for nearly a week and knew that she had no intention of hurting him, he had no choice but to accept that the abilities she had previously displayed were simply too formidable. The large swarm of insects that even the company couldn't do anything about was wiped out, along with a desolate area of the universe with a diameter of three light years, leaving not even a speck of cosmic dust.

It's understandable that she's nervous.

The ingredients were thrown in one by one. Normally, feeding is done in batches, but this time for some reason a bunch of things were thrown in at once. Yue Yan didn't ask anything about it, but just walked forward skillfully and unpacked the "ingredients" one by one.

First, the first one.

"What the hell is this?"

She reached out and took out a severed limb from the first package. The skin of the thing was covered with hair. Although it had five fingers, they were sharp claws. It looked like the forelimb of some beast, but it was somewhat similar to a human hand.

The girl frowned—because she saw that the thing didn't bleed, but instead the muscles at the end were wriggling and growing, like the air roots of a plant. It seemed to be trying to repair itself and bring itself back to life...

It's a bit of an uncanny valley effect.

Kristen explains:

"It's Bu Liren's right claw. To be more precise, it's the palm and part of the forearm... It was the spoils of war that the company obtained some time ago when they collaborated with the Xianzhou Alliance to wipe out a group of remnants of the Fengrao Min Party... According to regulations, it was supposed to be destroyed, but the space station took it for research."

The Buli people...ah, those people of abundance. If I remember correctly, they should still be considered human...

For some reason, Yue Yan suddenly heard a particularly evocative melody. It seemed as if an elegant white man in a black suit was walking towards her, holding a goblet of red wine...

Bring onions, ginger and garlic with you when you go out, don't make things too difficult for Uncle Ba.jpg

"Emm... allow me to refuse."

Yue Yan put it back in the face of Christine's disappointment. At the same time, Heita came over and asked:

"Why, not to your taste?"

"Ms. Black Tower, I have no interest in cannibalism... even though these are alienated people of abundance."

The girl shook her head:

"Don't give me anything like that next time."

"Well, it's recorded. Please continue."

In fact, Yue Yan almost felt that he could make something edible with the wolf claw - after all, this thing also contained a certain amount of fertility power, and it might even unlock a new recipe.

But, it’s not that she can’t, but that she doesn’t want to... Bu Liren is a close relative of the fox people. Although highly alienated, she can still be considered a human being. She is not Hannibal, and this thing is too disgusting.

She shook her head and then unpacked a package.

"This is... Suleda?"

Yue Yan was a little surprised when she pulled out a bottle of orange-yellow carbonated drink from the second package. It had a classic glass bottle and a metal cap. She also took out a bottle opener from the package, opened it, and took a sip.

"Yeah, it tastes good... but this stuff is obviously not suitable for further processing. It's okay as a drink, but it's not suitable for carbonated drinks in the morning..."

She opened seven packages, and finally picked out the "ingredients" that satisfied her at the last one. Amid the surprised looks of the other two, she chose this thing as the main ingredient for breakfast.

But in fact, that thing was not food at all, but a group of exquisite bullets, slightly larger than a thumb, made of iron and stone. There were several blue marks engraved on the bullets, and you could even see the marks of hand-hammering.

"That's something the company's armed archaeology school discovered among the fossil bones of some planet. It seems to be infused with the power of hunting..."

The black tower looked at the girl with some curiosity:

"Are you sure you want to eat this?"

Although she already knew that the other party's definition of ingredients was not as limited as that of ordinary people, she still asked to be on the safe side.

She nodded, took out all the bullets, and said seriously:

“I think it will taste good.”

……

Century egg and lean meat porridge, a classic Chinese dish from a previous life, can be made into a warm breakfast suitable for all ages when added with fried dough sticks or steamed buns.

Yue Yan was not a person who particularly liked to eat preserved eggs - she always hated the strange smell of cold dishes, but she was very fond of preserved egg porridge, which was simple to make and tasted very good.

Add water and rice to the ice tray, freeze them into ice cubes, put them into the pot, add water to cover the rice, cover the pot and simmer.

Under the watchful eyes of Christine and Heita, Yue Yan skillfully began to cut the lean meat and ginger into shreds, added cooking wine, light soy sauce and other seasonings, and then mixed them evenly and marinated them.

During this process, Heita couldn't help but ask:

"What are you going to do with that thing?"

"It's very simple."

The girl looked as if it was a matter of course. After putting the lean meat aside to marinate, she placed the pellets in the mortar and picked up the pestle.

One, two, three... crisp breaking sounds came from the instrument.

It seemed that it was not some hard meteorite iron that had been strengthened by hunting, but the nuts of some gymnosperm...

Yue Yan looked calm, while the other two looked depressed - through the camera, they could clearly see that the bullet was indeed smashed into pieces.

But the mortar was just an ordinary stone and could not break the hard meteorite.

During the long stewing process, the aroma of rice gradually emanated. Halfway through the cooking, Yue Yan threw all the crushed pellets into the pot, explaining her actions as she did so.

"This thing is difficult to cook, so it needs to be put in early. I think it can't be cooked with meat, otherwise it will be too hard and may not be digested after eating it."

To be honest, if you weren't handling it, there's no way ordinary people would be able to digest it...

Although Christine and Heita wanted to complain, they suppressed the urge to speak and quietly watched each other's performance.

"After the rice has bloomed, you can chop up the preserved eggs and cook them in... Stir them briefly, then pick out the shredded ginger used for marinating the meat and add the shredded meat. Finally, add some greens and chopped green onions..."

Although it was not yet finished, the aroma of the meat porridge had already spread out through the vents. Christine had brought the bowl with her at some point and was waiting expectantly - and Heita, although she was a puppet, was quite intelligent and had all five senses, so she could also smell that smell.

It was not just a simple fragrance, it was mixed with some... strong emotions.

That was the rage of revenge of the hunter, and the moment it smelled that scent, the Black Tower seemed to smell the wailing of the ancient beast that was hit by the bullet and fell in a pool of blood.

Is this thing really edible?

Chapter 5 Meteorite Lean Meat Porridge

Fortunately, the illusion lasted only a moment, and when Heita reacted, he looked at Christine next to him - the other party seemed to feel nothing and was excitedly waiting for the next tasting moment.

She had long been tired of the pre-prepared meals in the space station. She finally had some fresh food these past two days, and she must have two more bowls this time!
