Chapter 706 Hao Jiejie
The nine-tailed fox's advanced form is imposing.
The city lord of No Return glanced at the others behind Wang Shuxiang and silently withdrew his claws.
Good steel should be used where it's most needed.
There's no need to launch a full-scale attack over such a trivial matter.
After all, whether Lin Xiaohe can make this soup well is still unknown.
As Lin Xiaohe, who is in the public eye, she has no time or energy to care about the outside world.
A powerful suction force pulled her into a dark vortex.
She felt as if she were inside a spinning washing machine, endlessly spinning and spinning.
"Hao Jiejie, what new ingredients did you gather this time?"
"It's Squeak Grass! It was a gift from the little elves in the neighboring galaxy."
On the round planet, pots and pans bounce around.
The air was filled with all sorts of smells: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and even burnt.
"Ahhh, Hao Jiejie, the food in your pot is burnt again!"
The pyramid-shaped copper pot jumped around anxiously, "How could this happen?! I finally managed to get this Squeaky Grass..."
A mallet with a pointed end and a rounded bottom banged against the cube-shaped copper pot, making a loud clanging sound: "Hao Jiejie, how many times have I told you not to change the shape randomly! With this shape, you have to constantly watch the heat to ensure the food heats evenly. Besides, the food at the pointed ends burns too easily. Ugh, can't you change the shape?"
Hao Jiejie said, looking aggrieved, "I've changed shapes so many times. Teardrop shape, irregular shape, trapezoid shape, cylindrical shape..."
Helpless, Bangchui said, "If all else fails, why don't you give up cooking? You can just squeeze and pound it like I do, isn't that good too? As long as the seasoning is done well, the taste won't be bad."
Hao Jiejie firmly refused: "No, without the heat of a fire, the food lacks the 'wok hei' (the smoky aroma imparted by a wok)."
"Sigh, I just can't do anything with you." The stick offered up its bountiful harvest.
If I don't cook delicious food for a day, I feel like I have no energy.
Hao Jiejie was out of ingredients, and as her good friend, I had to reluctantly give up my own so that she could have a good day.
The wind sweeps away the clouds.
The days passed by.
Their biggest worry is not finding suitable ingredients, or that the dishes are not delicious enough.
Until one day, they realized something was wrong.
"Hao Jiejie, can you still trade ingredients with the little elves?"
Hao Jiejie said worriedly, "I haven't been able to contact them for a long time."
The mallet stood rooted to the spot: "These little elves who love food so much, why didn't they come looking for you?"
"Yes, I'm using my own stock right now. Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Bangchui was very worried: "I went to the Star Market, and there were almost no ingredients left."
"How could this be?!" Hao Jiejie exclaimed. "Aren't we one of the most important spaceports? Every day, many alien spaceships come here to trade and stay."
Don't be fooled by the fact that they're just pots and pans and have no fighting power; they're just lucky.
Their home planet is located in a dense planetary zone, making it a very important interplanetary transportation hub.
Countless starships take off and land at the port every day.
They were not interested in combat power, resources, or racial reproduction.
What's more interesting than procreation?
Therefore, they didn't have any special requirements for the alien ships docked at their home planet's port; they just needed to provide some food.
If they can provide rare ingredients, they are their planet's closest partners. Because of their virtually zero-tax policy, their planet's ports are extremely popular.
Several interstellar civilizations near their star system didn't bother to conquer them.
What's the point of occupying it? You still have to put in the effort to manage it.
Are we supposed to melt down all these pots and pans to build starships?
Most importantly, the food made with these pots and pans is absolutely delicious and incredibly popular.
So, their home planet is very lively every day.
Hao Jiejie had just changed to a new bowl form and was about to try it out when she heard the bad news brought by the club, which made her feel terrible.
"Ahhh, with delicious food above us, has our cooking stopped attracting them?"
The situation seems to be getting worse.
The number of warships stationed at New Harbor dropped from tens of thousands per day to 10 per day, and then to 10 every two days.
All the planet's native inhabitants knew something was wrong, but they were powerless to fight and unable to walk in space; they could only stay on the ground, gazing longingly at the sky.
"Life is so boring when I can't cook."
"Life without food is so painful."
"Waaaaah, my dear diners, where have you all gone?"
Dull, painful, uncomfortable, and agonizing.
Everyone looked completely drained of energy and looked listless.
Until one day, an elf's starship landed at the port of its home planet.
The whole planet was in an uproar.
"Hao Jiejie, bring out all your signature dishes! I'm going to fill the warehouse to the brim!"
"Alright!" Hao Jiejie was full of energy, and the envious looks from her friends turned into endless motivation!
This time, the little elf wanted a much larger quantity, almost ten times the amount of before.
Hao Jiejie, panting heavily, said, "Little elves, why do you suddenly want so many? Besides, I haven't seen you in so long, I've missed you all."
The elf's transparent wings shimmered with golden light in the sunlight.
Her eyes held hesitation and pity.
After the last bowl of soup was carried into the starship, Hao Jiejie bid farewell to her elf companions: "Have a safe journey, I'll be waiting for you here."
The last little sprite paused, then flew over like the wind, skimming close to the edge of Hao Jiejie's pot, and sped away.
"Hao Jiejie, something terrible has happened! Our universe is about to be destroyed, and all civilizations are seeking ways to escape. We agreed not to tell you, so you could face the final end in happiness."
"But you are my friend. Even if the end result is destruction, I want you to know all of this clearly."
After saying that, the little sprite flew into the starship.
The starship, shaped like a green leaf, rose into the sky and disappeared into the vast starry sky.
Hao Jiejie was stunned by the little elf's words.
She was stunned for a long time before she reacted and loudly told her friends.
Is the end of the world really coming?
"No wonder we haven't seen those alien civilizations for so long; they must have escaped."
No one blamed those civilizations for not including themselves.
This is a civilized escape, every inch of space is incredibly precious.
What use would it be to bring such a dense and bulky creature like them, who have little combat ability, can't do anything but cook, and have high density?
Hao Jiejie was bewildered. Had everyone just accepted the fact that the end of the world was coming?
The guy didn't care: "Because there's nothing we can do. What else can we do but accept it?"
