People are collapsing iron, they say I am a greedy messenger

……

"I'm back~"

Since it was an apology, it certainly couldn't be too monotonous. In addition to the trampler skewers and shrimp chips, Yue Yan also grilled some normal beef and mutton skewers, a grilled fish, two garlic eggplants, and a portion of grilled leeks.

She was very confident in her cooking skills - as a cook who could capture that group of students, Yue Yan was an all-rounder in cooking. She could stir-fry, grill, and make desserts. The grilled skewers were so fragrant and not burnt at all.

When she opened the shop in her previous life, she had a secret recipe - add a little dried catnip to the barbecue spices. This is a little-known herb in China. After drying, it still retains a very strong fragrance and is very suitable for grilled skewers. It's a pity that it is not available here.

"Come on, if there's no beer, just use the Suleda. We're in a hurry, so the only cold dish we have is a cucumber. Just make do with it."

Yue Yan brought the bunch of skewers back to the room, piled them in front of Xing, and said sincerely:

"Consider it my apology."

Looking at the large plate of fragrant grilled skewers of various colors, Xing couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked cautiously:

"Can I eat all of these?"

The girl said generously:

"Of course you can...but don't eat too much of these grilled skewers, or you might get into trouble."

After getting permission, Xing hesitated for a moment, picked up a skewer of lamb, and slowly took a bite.

When you put it in your mouth, before you touch the skewers, you can taste the aroma of various spices. After you bite it, a small amount of sugar, salt and chili will bring the most direct taste experience to your tongue.

The rich flavor of the barbecue ingredients explodes on the tip of the tongue. As the teeth continue to press down, the juice and fat that are firmly locked in the mutton burst out, washing over the sides of the tongue. It feels like drinking soup while chewing.

The meat was not dry at all and the seasoning was very good, which was enough to show the superb skills of the kebab chef. It also retained a little bit of the unique mutton smell without completely covering it up... It was just right for kebabs.

Xing probably had never eaten any real instant noodles in a bucket, and after taking a bite, he was moved beyond words:

"Good, very delicious, this lamb kebab..."

Normally, Yue Yan only used ordinary barbecue seasoning and didn't mix white flour into the marinade when grilling skewers. If they were just delicious, it definitely wouldn't be like this...

I don’t know what Xing went through when he was with Kafka.

"As long as it's delicious."

Seeing the diners sincerely praising the food he made, Yue Yan also showed a gentle smile:

"You can eat it with a carbonated drink... It's not very healthy, but that's the way most delicious things are. After all, when it comes to delicious food, health is a very distant concept... It's okay to indulge occasionally."

"Ah."

Xing nodded, opened the drink with a bottle opener and drank it, taking a sip of the drink and a bite of the meat, looking very happy - she ate very quickly and efficiently, like a fully automatic skewers machine.

And not even the shredded meat will be left after eating the skewers. He is a born skewers-eating saint.

"Wow, that smells good. What are you eating?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the door. The two looked up and saw a pink-haired kid walking over with a camera. His nose twitched a little, and then he came close to Yue Yan, staring at the pile of skewers on the table and said excitedly:

"It's barbecue. Does the space station also offer takeout?"

"It's not takeout, I made it myself... I made quite a bit, and we can't finish it between the two of us. Do you want to try it?"

Chapter 18 Simulated Universe

Facing this somewhat outgoing girl, Yue Yan enthusiastically invited her to join in.

Because she was not afraid of them going bad, and her appetite had indeed increased a lot after the time travel, Yue Yan specially grilled a lot of skewers - more than enough for three girls.

As expected, as soon as he took a bite, Sanyueqi praised Yueyan's cooking skills repeatedly.

Not only is the mutton very tender, but the beef is not dry at all. This is not only due to the barbecue technique, but also because Yue Yan specifically chose beef eye meat - it has nothing to do with the cow's eyes. It is a piece of meat at the end of the ribs with less tendons and more fat, so it tastes great and is a little more expensive than ordinary beef.

But since they are ingredients from the Black Tower Space Station, of course she should use the best ones, since she is not the one paying for them.

"Ouch... cough cough cough... my throat is burning."

Perhaps he ate too fast. After a few minutes, March 7th suddenly coughed a few times and showed a rather ugly expression of pain.

The next second, without even looking at it, she grabbed the opened bottle of drink on the table and drank it in gulps.

"Ugh...ha...my throat hurts so much. I have to be more careful when eating next time..."

After finishing a bottle of drink, March exhaled a breath of white air, touched his throat which felt much better, and his expression gradually became peaceful... Then he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong - had he opened the drink?

"Uh……"

When she looked up, her eyes happened to meet Yue Yan's - she could vaguely see a slight blush on the other's fair cheeks.

He looked at the glass bottle in his hand again, and then he remembered that it seemed to be the one Yue Yan had drunk...

No wonder it tastes a little different from the usual Suleda. It turns out...

She scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry..."

Yue Yan cleared her throat awkwardly and lowered her head to try to hide her flushed face.

"Well, it's okay, it's just a bottle of drink. You guys can continue eating. I was actually full before."

"Ah, oh..."

The atmosphere gradually became strange, and the sounds became silent. The only sounds in the air were the smacking sounds of Xing chewing the skewers, and the question he asked after swallowing:

"Why don't you two eat anymore?"

……

...

……

"How is it? Did you see any clues?"

In the Black Tower office, a puppet of the Black Tower was sharing a room with Ruan Mei's holographic projection, and what was playing in front of the two was the entire video of Yue Yan from the moment the mutation occurred to the moment he finally swallowed the Doomsday Beast.

Heita stared at the video intently, his brows furrowed not once.

"She told me that this posture was due to consuming skewers made from the fat of the Tramplers... I'm willing to believe her. After all, her appearance does bear some resemblance to those pawns. But the tongue that sprouted from her back at the end couldn't possibly be related to destruction. It's more like..."

"More like a blessing from greed."

Ruan Mei helped her fill in the rest of the sentence and said softly:

"A green tongue with a scarred maw recklessly devours everything it can reach. The embodiment of greed... That is the symbol of that deity.

Our previous inferences were completely correct. She is indeed a genuine messenger blessed by Obolos.

But for some reason, her condition seems a little strange... She can't fully control her power, and she is no different from an ordinary person. "

"Yes."

Heita nodded - although she was also an envoy of wisdom, the chaos and greed of gluttony were almost contrary to rational and rigorous wisdom. The other party had a more ancient and primitive destiny, which was far more difficult to understand than the hunting crowd.

Even as geniuses, Heita and Ruan Mei did not dare to say that they had fully understood a certain destiny, let alone a mysterious existence like Tan Tao.

The Black Tower suddenly said:

"By the way, the simulated universe project is nearing maturity..."

"In fact, it's now fully operational."

Ruan Mei was still staring at the video intently - especially the part where Yue Yan grew a tongue, which she watched over and over again.

Lingshi, what a wonderful life form...

The ancient dusk beast, once thought nearly extinct in the universe, is a member of their species and a gluttonous darling. I wonder how Miss Yueyan will react to the broken bait from Fangxing...

"So? Have you chosen the candidate for the simulated universe?"

"Ah, there are two at the moment."

The Black Tower called up two photos - one of Xing and the other of Yue Yan.

“If you want to contact the gods, the best way is to become a god. After all, apart from pioneering, most gods don’t communicate much with mortals.

That little creature with the star core, I want her to be the Akivali of the simulated universe. Needless to say, Yue Yan is the one who will be given the position of Tan Tao."

Black Tower's simulated universe is an extremely grand project. Currently, there are four geniuses involved in it, namely, Screw Gum, Black Tower himself, Ruan Mei, and Stephen. The lineup is luxurious.

If four geniuses gather together and want to cause trouble, they can turn the entire universe upside down.

Fortunately, they are not antisocial people like Dr. Original, and most of them are relatively normal... Even so, everything they do seems crazy to outsiders.

In order to explore the secrets of the Star Gods, geniuses created this entirely computer-generated universe, in which the Star Gods are connected to the destiny of the outside world and therefore possess everything that the real Star Gods have.

In the computer, of course.

Heita hopes that Yueyan and Xing can explore the secrets of God as star gods, but there is a small problem with this matter.

According to the information recorded in the think tank, the greedy star god Oboros is an extremely solitary and taciturn god. Because he often swallows the people he needs to communicate with before making a sound, there is often no need for him to speak.

It is also because of this that this interstellar foodie who doesn't communicate with anyone eats when he wakes up and sleeps when he is full. He is a complete otaku and has almost no communication with other star gods. If Yue Yan is put in to replace his identity, it is very likely that no information will be collected at all.

But she felt it was necessary to give it a try, maybe there would be some surprises.

"However, the simulation of the universe isn't completely complete yet... The most significant event in history involving Greed, the locust plague that ravaged all realms, hasn't been completed yet. Let Xing take charge first."

"Well, this is safer."

...

The people far away in the medical room would definitely not know what the geniuses of the Black Tower were thinking - they had just eaten and were now cleaning up the garbage.

Yue Yan struggled to stuff the last skewer of barbecue into her mouth. Her stomach was so full that she couldn't fit any more food in - as she said, after eating a whole Doomsday Beast and half of the platform, her stomach was already very full.

Gluttony does not mean bottomless hunger. The reason why gluttony exists is to satisfy. Therefore, even the Star God himself will have a day when he is full. After eating, he will go back to sleep to digest the food.

Chapter 19: Invitation from the Train

……

……

“Walter, what do you think of those two kids? Can you invite them in the car?”

On the train, Ji Zi was drinking coffee while discussing matters with Walter - Wumingke's journey was long, and the current Starry Sky Train was no longer as grand as the former Space Fleet, so occasionally they also needed to invite some partners to join, such as Dan Heng and March 7.

Now, she feels that she has seen two children with good potential.

Walter's tone remained calm—this man had experienced a lot and was young and vigorous, but this was no longer visible on his face, and most of his words were carefully considered:

"I don't know much about their personalities. All I know are the snippets of information Sanyueqi and Danheng shared in the group chat. But I heard that Miss Yueyan is a very good person, and that girl named Xing seems pretty good too. Her only flaw is her uncontrollable power...

However, this is just my humble opinion. You should discuss this with Sanyue or Danheng. I personally recommend Danheng."

"Ah, yes."

Jizi took a sip of coffee, the mellow taste filled her mouth. Her amber eyes looked out the car window at the starry sky, where the stars were reflected, and she murmured to herself:

"A greedy emissary... and a little fellow with a star core sealed within him. It's truly amazing how such a complex and complex journey to the space station can lead to so many unexpected events."

……

The Black Tower Space Station and the Starry Sky Train signed a series of treaties, the most important of which was that the train would provide rare items to the Black Tower, and the space station would provide supplies to the train.

As a train for traveling through the universe, the unknown travelers often get some magical little things in foreign countries.

Although Ms. Heita herself very proudly calls the collection of rare objects a sentence, in fact, this behavior is a kind of enjoyment for her who has a bit of a collecting addiction. She spends nine and a half hours out of the ten hours of controlling the puppet doing work related to rare objects. She is obsessed with it, otherwise she would not have signed such a contract on her own initiative.

This time, Ji Zi decided to rebel against Tian Gang - she wanted to take two rare items from Heita.

One is the Moon, which is nominally free, and the other is the Star, which houses the Star Core.

To this, the Black Tower's response was...

There was no reaction, she seemed quite calm and unexpected.

"If you want it, take it. I've already given Yue Yan her freedom. If you want to take her away, go ask her yourself. If she doesn't want to leave, she can stay here. If she really wants to leave, I can't stop her... and no one can stop her either."

Black Tower looked indifferent:

"As for the star core, that thing is nothing but a nuisance. If I wasn't worried about its negative effects, I would have dumped it somewhere deserted long ago. It's a good thing that the little girl can take it with her."

Ji Zi really didn't expect that the Black Tower would be so decisive... But when you think about it carefully, there is really no benefit in leaving the star here. Even geniuses haven't figured out the star core very well, and the information that can be obtained is very limited.

Not to mention Yue Yan, although she is the same envoy as Heita, but judging from her previous performance of swallowing up three light-years of desolate cosmic belt in one gulp...Oboros is likely to be very fond of his envoy and open up a lot of destiny power to her.

If someone wants to leave, they can leave. Why force them if you can't stop them?
