Dinner Plans

Qin Rang looked at the girl dressed like a small cake, and raised an eyebrow, recalling what he had just heard in the meeting about the recent discovery of suspected members of the organization.

Mi Chuchu moved closer to Tao Yuan: "Is this also someone from the organization?"

"It's definitely him," Tao Yuan whispered. "I wonder who it is this time. He seems to have quite a temper."

An Ying, pulling Bai Yang along, Sheng Qingqiao, pulling the Dessert Chef along, struggled to tear them apart.

Qin Rang and the others then got a clear look at the Dessert Chef.

This was a very young girl, probably only up to Bai Yang's shoulder, who smelled of cream all over and wore a wide-brimmed hat with cat ears.

It wasn't their imagination; there really was a creamy smell, as if the surrounding air had become sweeter.

Seeing that the two were still on fire, Sheng Qingqiao patted Bai Yang and grinned foolishly, "What a coincidence, we met here. We were just about to have dinner, want to come together?"

The Dessert Chef said irritably, "What's so funny? We came here specifically to see you."

"Ah?"

The two of them went to the hot pot restaurant with them.

Although the arrival of the strange phenomenon made it impossible for many things to continue, food was an exception.

There are many bizarre Rules, including various restrictions and deadly Rules concerning food.

However, people's love for food often allows them to overcome these strange Rules and explore ways to eat safely that are suitable for most people.

Just like the hot pot restaurant they're currently in, it's located in a very desolate area within Residential Zone. The Rules here is that the area outside the restaurant must be absolutely quiet, while the area inside must always be lively.

As soon as they entered, they were horrified by the deafening music.

The restaurant was quite crowded. Qin Rang was an old acquaintance, and Tao Yuan had made arrangements well in advance, so they sat down in a quieter private room.

With no live stream room and no outsiders, a hot pot dinner is the best option for chatting.

To prevent the two from fighting and overturning the hot pot, Mi Chuchu and Tao Yuan sat together with the Dessert Chef, while Bai Yang, Qin Rang, Sheng Qingqiao sat together.

An Ying sat in the middle, flipping through the menu to order. He was the biggest eater in the team, so he usually ordered. Tao Yuan usually paid the bill, as she was the one in charge of the money.

Qin Rang, the team leader, only took care of eating in private.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Gan Tian, codename Dessert Chef." Gan Tian stood up and took out a bag of small cookies wrapped in transparent packaging from her pocket. "Nice to meet you all, I brought a gift."

The group very kindly shared the cookies and thanked them.

Bai Yang glanced at the cookies but didn't say anything.

Qin Rang and the others realized that the magical candies Bai Yang had given them must have been made by Gan Tian.

"Wow, little sister, you can make these things too? These cookies even have cute Little Cat heads on them." Tao Yuan picked up her cookie, flipped it over, and saw that her name was on the back of the Little Cat's head.

Why is my name still there?

"Because it's prepared for everyone." The Dessert Chef blinked. "Try it, is it good?"

Bai Yang pressed down on Sheng Qingqiao's hand, which was tearing open a cookie to try a piece. "Gan Tian never tells the truth; don't easily eat the food she makes."

Gan Tian frowned. "I've made these cookies for the Shopkeeper before, and Shopkeeper said they were fine!"

"Indeed." Bai Yang picked up a biscuit and said to everyone, "Don't eat anything she gives you except for biscuits and candy. The ingredients are special; we usually give them to the supernatural."

The hands holding the cookies suddenly froze. There was a strange, inexplicable feeling... well, as if they had been insulted.

"However, desserts that the Master specifically requested are an exception."

After Bai Yang finished speaking, he returned the biscuit to Sheng Qingqiao, hugged the Little Rabbit, and laughed, "Also, the Rules of this biscuit is that you die once within one minute of eating it. If you don't mind wasting it, you can eat it now."

Although it's a Weird Object with rather strict conditions and timeframes for its activation, the fact that it could be given away in such large quantities shows that even the wealthy Tao Yuan was astonished by the Dessert Chef's abilities.

This is so useful! It's like a born pharmacist!

I wonder if giving these materials to researchers would allow them to develop corresponding drugs.

"Thank you Gan Tian. We'll accept it then." Mi Chuchu brought her a glass of sweet juice. Gan Tian's eyes lit up, and she focused on drinking the sweet juice without saying a word.

Qin Rang had already started chatting with Bai Yang.

"I've been wanting to treat you to a meal to thank you for your help, and this time I finally have the chance. Actually, we were just discussing your organization in a meeting, and I didn't expect you to come to Jiang City so soon."

While chatting, Qin Rang used his energy to turn the hot pot to its maximum heat, making the aroma of the broth even more intense.

Bai Yang placed the Little Rabbit on his lap to prevent oil splattering and said, "I'm not far from Wutong District, so it wasn't difficult for me to get here."

"The last two live streams have made it impossible for me to stay at my previous place anymore, so it looks like I'll have to go back to the organization to rest tonight."

Sheng Qingqiao asked, "Why can't you stay here? Is someone harassing you?"

"No, it's just that those people have become harder to fool." Bai Yang shrugged.

Sheng Qingqiao said with delight, "Except for those who were running the Instance those few days and didn't watch our live stream, everyone else definitely knows you and what kind of person you are. Your Little Rabbit is also one of the more popular types of Weird Object now."

Tao Yuan asked in surprise, "The surrounding areas have all come out so quickly?"

The group looked puzzled. "Huh? What merchandise?"

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Qin Rang steered the conversation back on track. "You just said you were going back to your organization. Where is your organization located? We have special transportation, the Weird Object,' so we can give you a ride after we finish eating."

"No need, I can get back to the organization very quickly, in the blink of an eye," Bai Yang said. "I was just planning to ask you to take care of what I promised you last time, otherwise I would have already gone back."

After saying that, Bai Yang propped his head up with his hand and looked at everyone with a smile, "We've cooperated several times, from the Casino to this neighborhood. What have you Authorities come up with in your analysis?"

Tao Yuan and Qin Rang exchanged a glance, not understanding the purpose behind his words.

Is this a test of the Authorities' investigative capabilities? Or is there some plan they're unaware of?

Bai Yang, who was simply asking about the Authorities progress, blinked and waited for their reply.

"To be honest, very few," Qin Rang said. "Your organization is too secretive; we don't even know its name yet."

Tao Yuan handed Bai Yang a drink and casually added, "However, we did learn some information about other people in your organization. Including Gan Tian this time; a city had already sent her photo before we even left the Instance."
