Chapter 45 Making Mooncakes

Chapter 45 Making Mooncakes

The half-body has been here for a long time.

It was so long ago that it couldn't even remember when all this started. It seemed as if from the very beginning, it had been a corpse whose body organs could be disassembled at will.

And this is the first time in such a long time that someone has asked what it is called so easily during the challenge.

This isn't right.

It's not right.

But it couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

So he said, "My name is... My name is... What's my name?"

It scratched its head with its hand and stared with a look of confusion, surprise and anxiety.

"Brother, you should be a teacher in the school, right?" Luo Xi continued.

While he was talking, his hands did not stop at all. He seemed to be very familiar with the human body structure, as if he had spent a lot of time studying anatomy. The positions and angles of the organs, the connections that wrapped some blood vessels, and the order of the membrane layers and muscle layers were all exactly correct.

"Teacher? Yes, I am a teacher. Now I remember. I am a science teacher. My last name is Han."

"Hello, Teacher Han. I am the parent of Wang Shuting from Class 2, Grade 3."

"Oh, hello. But I don't teach third grade."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Han. I respect all teachers who teach and educate people. Your profession is great. By the way, how is your relationship with Mr. Liang?"

"Mr. Liang."

In an instant, the half-corpse's eyes widened. The three words "Teacher Liang" were like a hook that directly hooked out its fear. It couldn't help but let out a strange cry, holding its head with both hands, revealing a look of pain.

"Shh, don't be afraid. Teacher Liang and I are good friends. Did she do anything terrible to you?"

At this time, the half-corpse was so terrified that it couldn't speak.

"Could it be that she really did something to you? I just wanted to distract your attention, but I didn't expect that I guessed it right and got an unexpected gain." Luo Xi was also a little surprised.

By this time, he had stuffed the last of the internal organs into the chest, then closed the ribcage and patted the half-corpse's shoulder.

"Okay Mr. Han, I'm done."

"."

At this time, the half-corpse came to its senses. It was stunned for a moment, then looked down at its closed chest.

Suddenly, time seemed to stand still.

"Oh shit!"

About ten seconds later, the half-corpse cursed in a low voice.

"Have I completed the challenge?" Luo Xi pointed to the timer, which showed 1 minute and 15 seconds left.

In other words, Luo Xi put all the organs and some blood vessels back more than a minute in advance.

It can be seen that the half-corpse was very reluctant, but he still looked at Luo Xi with a slightly vicious look and nodded: "You are lucky."

After saying that, it stretched out its pale arm and took out a card from behind.

It is a standard [Memory].

It is willing to accept defeat, but this is also the rule that must be followed in all scenes and challenges during the day of confinement.

Be fair and just, and accept defeat if you lose!
However, when it handed it to Luo Xi, it suddenly reached out and grabbed the latter's wrist, then leaned forward and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Save me, I can help you"

After saying that, he waved his hand and threw Luo Xi aside.

He seemed to have returned to his original state, and then looked at Wu Rui with a lewd look: "Little girl, do you want to challenge me? You just saw that my game is very easy!"

Wu Rui actually thought about it, but still shook her head.

She knows her own worth.

Human body structure and anatomy were not her forte. What Luo Xi could do, she might not be able to do.

Luo Xi pulled Wu Rui back a few steps and retreated out of the three-meter range. In an instant, everything seemed to return to normal. The surroundings were full of people again, and it was extremely noisy and lively.

On the table over there is still a clay mannequin.

"We just entered a special realm. There are many such realms in this city. Some are in large-scale level scenes, and some are completely independent."

The one who spoke was Wang Li, who had also walked out of that strange area, followed by the taciturn Zhu Zifeng.

This guy is different from Wang Li. Even if Luo Xi deliberately talks to him, he only responds once every three sentences. He is a very taciturn person.

"Brother Luo Xi, you are a capable person. How about we cooperate? I have a group of brothers, all of whom are Shi Yi people. You know that you can't rely on fighting alone during the days of confinement. For example, where, what kind of scenes exist, how difficult it is, and what type of cards you may get, these can't be done by one person, and some scenes have a limited number of people. It's easy to get killed if you team up with strangers."

"Brother Wang, there is no problem with cooperation. I also like making friends."

"That's great. I know there's a challenge in this school scene that has good rewards. More importantly, it's very simple. Basically, you're guaranteed to get a memory card. I'll take you there."

"What exactly is that challenge?"

"Let's talk while we walk. Oh, by the way, that half-corpse seemed to say something to you just now. What did it say?"

"I think, Brother Wang, you should stop asking. That's not a good thing to say."

"No, tell me, just in case I like to hear it."

"I'll fuck your balls!" Luo Xi said seriously.

Wang Li was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react.

"Damn it, it really isn't a nice thing to say. That's right, this half-corpse has a weird temper, spews shit all the time, and doesn't like to lose. If you beat it, it will curse you!"

The two of them were arm in arm, laughing and joking. If you didn't know them, you would have thought they were old friends who had known each other for more than ten years.

"The challenge I'm talking about is very simple. I don't tell most people about it. This challenge is called 'making mooncakes.' Although it looks fancy and requires selecting a lot of ingredients to combine, it's actually very simple. The ultimate goal is to make the evil ghost who tastes the mooncake say that he likes it. In other words, as long as it meets the taste of the evil ghost, the challenge is considered a success."

"This challenge is not that difficult, but as long as you know the taste of the evil ghost, it can be said to be an easy question. Coincidentally, I have successfully challenged it before, so I know the taste of the evil ghost. But unfortunately, one of the rules of this project is that after successfully challenging, the Memory Retriever cannot challenge again, but the rule does not say that you are not allowed to tell other Memory Retrievers. Now, you understand!"

Wang Li winked at this time.

Luo Xi nodded: "If that's the case, it would indeed be easy if we knew the evil ghost's taste in advance."

"Really? I know that we need to build trust in order to work together. This project is like a gift from me to you two. Once you succeed, our trust will be established. Then, working together will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort."

At this time, they had already arrived at the base.

Here, in the corridor next to the teaching building, there is a small social practice venue. Many students are making mooncakes, and some parents are giving instructions and taking pictures. The whole scene is lively, warm and full of vitality.

In a corner, there was a table with many materials on it, but no students were working there. There was a man sitting behind the table with a serious expression.

When you get close enough, it's as if you've walked into a special 'barrier'.

Everything around me has changed.

The noisy crowd disappeared, and the place was empty and eerily quiet.

The person behind the table also changed and turned into an extremely scary evil ghost.

The other person was naked, and his skin was a strange bluish-gray color, like bacon that had been stored for many years. In addition, he was very thin, but his belly was round and bulging, which looked very inconsistent with his extremely thin body, limbs and head.

The weird feeling brought by this incoordination is very scary.

It may even make people ignore the appearance of this evil ghost with green face and fangs.

"Come on, make mooncakes. I'm very hungry. Feed me and I'll give you the card!"

When the evil ghost saw Luo Xi and the others, he actually stretched out his skinny hands and began to solicit customers.

When you get closer, you can see that there are a lot of "materials" on the table in front of the evil ghost, and on the table next to it, there are also the methods and processes for making "moon cakes".
