Dessert Course, Blank Canvas

Lin Yu recalled which moment from his memory this scene was Memory of.

It wasn't a special day; it was just an ordinary day when he returned home from elementary school at the age of ten.

At that time, Lin Zhao had not yet dropped out of school; he only occasionally did odd jobs.

The siblings mainly survive on savings and welfare subsidies.

Lin Yu had already set his sights on becoming Actor, but at that time he only had a superficial understanding of "acting".

There are some moments in life that are clearly ordinary, yet they are etched into our Memory with exceptional clarity and vivid detail.

And when you think back on it, it always feels special...

Good.

It's like a concrete manifestation of "happiness".

Lin Yu picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of fish, and put it in his mouth.

The familiar taste, which he hadn't had in a long time, entered his mouth, and it did indeed make Lin Yu feel momentarily dazed.

But he quickly regained his composure.

With just a slight shake of his head, Lin Yu's gaze returned to the dining table.

Octopus Ka looked at Lin Yu in surprise.

"It only took three seconds... Oh dear, sir, you really aren't someone who gets stuck in the past."

Lin Yu grinned and said without any modesty, "Yes—that's true."

He glanced to the side, where Robin was Robin shedding tears.

I wonder what that girl saw.

It took about six or seven minutes before Robin seemed to come to her senses.

She noticed that everyone at the table, including Octopus Ka, was looking at her, and she suddenly felt a little flustered.

"Wha... what's wrong?"

Lin Yu looked at Robin with great interest.

What did you see?

Robin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and mumbled softly, "I saw my deceased grandmother... She cooked my favorite green beans and eggplant for me."

Then, she asked Lin Yu uncertainly, "Was I lost in thought for a long time just now?"

"Six or seven minutes, I guess."

Lin Yu answered her.

Octopus Ka nodded and added, "It's quite good that you've 'recovered to your senses' at this time. It shows that you're a sensitive person and not so obsessed with the past that you're unwilling to let go."

Robin the Octopus Ka's implication and looked at Lin Yu: "How long did it take you?"

Lin Yu shrugged. "This Octopus will say three seconds."

This left Robin bewildered. "So fast?! You... how did you do that?!"

"Don't you have even a shred of nostalgia for the past?"

Lin Yu looked at Robin and spoke sincerely.

"Of course, because the person I saw... wasn't dead."

"If I want to eat that stuff, I should still be able to get it."

"So I have nothing to miss."

Lin Zhao is still alive and well, full of energy.

He hadn't had Lin Zhao's steamed fish for a long time, simply because Lin Zhao was too busy running the shop all by himself.

Lin Yu couldn't bear to see his sister go through the trouble of preparing such a laborious and painstaking dish.

Upon hearing Lin Yu's somewhat hurtful words, Robin's expression turned rather unpleasant.

She bit her lip, and after a long while, she finally muttered something.

"You bastard... I'll kill you sooner or later..."

Although killing each other is already commonplace among Player of "Death game".

However, upon hearing Robin's words, Lin Yu was absolutely certain...

This is a meaningless and empty threat.

Of course, it's okay if Robin is serious.

Lin Yu even hoped she was serious.

After all, Robin wanted to kill was "Fluoxetine"...

What does this have to do with Lin Yu?

Oh, there really is!

He has a grudge against "Fluoxetine".

If this guy really gets killed by Robin, Lin Yu will probably be laughing in his sleep.

Not only was the hatred resolved, but the sense of crisis of being watched by a master was also eliminated.

Even if Fluoxetine dies, the "Psychology Society" probably won't stop harassing him.

But at least it will free up one of the organization's top talents, allowing them to replace him with someone else.

Lin Yu felt that even a large organization like the "Psychology Society," which could directly confront "Order," couldn't possibly find many people on par with Fluoxetine.

Therefore, upon hearing Robin's harsh words, which were merely spoken casually, one is understandable.

Lin Yu, on the contrary, spoke very seriously.

"Oh, I'm so excited!"

Octopus Ka's voice rang out at that moment.

"Alright, everyone... the [Main Dish] is over."

"Now, everyone, please enjoy [dessert]."

Octopus Ka laughed as he spoke.

"Since everyone has different tastes, after almost half of the banquet, I've pretty much figured out everyone's preferences and personalities."

"Therefore, I will tailor different desserts for everyone... and each dessert will also come with a Banquet Card with different functions hidden inside."

"Find the card, enjoy the dessert whole... or else there might be a punishment!"

Which guest would like to try it first?

Everyone at the table fell silent.

No one dares to, nor wants to, be the first to stick their neck out.

The difficulty will definitely increase as you progress through the later stages of the project.

This round, once again, has made it clear beforehand that there will be "punishments"!

Who knows what kind of trouble might arise during the dessert segment?

Although Octopus Ka said...

Each person will receive a different dessert this time; it will be "tailor-made".

But everyone still planned to move to the back a bit.

After all, even if everyone receives different things...

At least you can get a sense of the overall tone of this segment from someone else!

While the first brave person to try something new may have some advantages, they are far outweighed by the risks of the unknown!

Especially Li Hua and the other four.

Their margin for error is already very low; they only have one or two ropes left.

The slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin!

Therefore, we need to be even more cautious.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu and Robin still had four ropes left on the field...

Lin Yu naturally wouldn't voluntarily become the first person to clear the way for everyone.

Final...

After sitting Robin for a few seconds, Lin Yu sighed and raised her hand.

"Um... I'll be the first one."

She said it weakly.

Then, Octopus Ka looked at Robin.

"Wow—Madam, are you the first to choose [dessert]?"

"Then I'll have to prepare something special for you..."

As Octopus Ka spoke, he then took out a large pile of baking Item used for making desserts from the pool.

Everything from molds to whisks is available.

Octopus Ka took turns using its eight tentacles to enthusiastically begin its cooking process.

Soon...

A delicate, white dessert, which appeared to be some kind of white chocolate, was served on a plate to Robin.

Beside it were three small bowls filled with sauces of different colors.

Octopus Ka kindly spoke up.

"The dessert prepared for you is called [Blank Canvas]."

"I look forward to you leaving behind a masterpiece, my dear Miss Painter."
