Chapter 306: Wen Yao Fish

Qin Huai stood in the kitchen, completely stunned.

The completion of the side quest 【Assistant Chen's Wish】 was within reason, but what was going on with the change in the quest reward?

The dream was given halfway and then stopped, and the recipe was given directly.

Can rewards be changed?

No more memories to see?

The author couldn't make it up?

Realizing that things seemed to have exceeded his expectations, Qin Huai didn't hesitate and clicked on the game panel directly, even doing so in front of Zang Liang.

Zang Liang is a good friend of Tan Weian and knows the bottom line.

He was originally chatting with Qin Huai, but seeing Qin Huai suddenly stop chatting and click into the void, he was stunned, even more stunned than Qin Huai just now.

Then he saw a scene that shocked him even more: Qin Huai not only clicked into the void but also swiped a few times in the void.

Zang Liang:?!

Without any hesitation, Zang Liang took out his phone and sent a message to Tan Weian.

Zang Liang: Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!

Zang Liang: Qin Huai really has an imagined system; I thought you were exaggerating. I just saw him seem to click on his own system panel.

Tan Weian replied with great experience: Then you have to be careful; usually, at this time, he is about to reach enlightenment and make progress. It's very scary; you should pay attention.

Zang Liang stared at Qin Huai with burning eyes.

Zang Mu and Tong Deyan, who were holding bowls and eating Four Joy Tangyuan not far away:...

"I know Xiao Qin is a bit weird, but what's going on with Zang Liang?" Zang Mu was helpless. "How did he also become weird like Xiao Qin?"

"Don't worry about it," Tong Deyan said concisely. Whether it was his expression or the tone of his speech, it was completely different from the bad temper in the kitchen just now. He looked like a kind person, and one could even hear lightness in his words. "Just eat the Four Joy Tangyuan."

"You are also weird," Zang Mu looked at Tong Deyan. "Why do I feel that you are in a pretty good mood now? Did Ling Guangzhao give you a raise?"

Ling Guangzhao is the boss of Ba Bao Zhai.

Hearing Zang Mu mention the boss, Tong Deyan's originally pretty good mood suddenly turned bad, and he sneered: "Him?"

"Heh."

During the time Tong Deyan and Zang Mu were talking, Qin Huai had already flipped to what he wanted to see.

In the illustrated column.

Name: Chen Gong

Species: Wen Yao Fish

Status: Awakened

Dream: 0/0

Recipe: None (Pending gift)

Gift: None

Chen Gong is awake!

He didn't eat the food in his own recipe, didn't have an in-depth exchange to find out his true obsession, and didn't try every means to trigger the remaining side quests.

He just woke up like this, waking up at the end of the birthday banquet.

Qin Huai knew that monsters theoretically have to wake up on their own, but this was the first time he had encountered a monster that woke up on its own.

It was so normal that it seemed abnormal. Buddy, you woke up yourself, doesn't that make me look useless? I am the protagonist of a system novel.

Do you know what a protagonist is? Protagonist!

If you don't let the protagonist do something, it will make the protagonist look very redundant.

After Qin Huai was shocked in his heart, he calmly left a sentence on the surface: "I'm going to the bathroom."

He slipped away.

Leaving Zang Liang to continue sending messages to Tan Weian.

Zang Liang: He went to the bathroom.

Tan Weian: Then he might be about to have a big enlightenment.

The staff bathroom of Yu Shan Fang is on the 2nd floor. Qin Huai slipped out from the side door of the kitchen, went straight to the 2nd floor without passing through the banquet hall, walked into the bathroom, entered a stall, and closed the door. A series of actions were as smooth as clouds and water.

Qin Huai had to check what a Wen Yao Fish was first.

The "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Classic of the Southern Mountains" records: "Another one hundred and eighty miles west is Mount Taiqi. The Guan River originates here and flows west into the quicksand. There are many Wen Yao Fish here, shaped like carp, with fish bodies and bird wings, blue patterns, white heads, and red beaks. They often travel in the Western Sea, swim in the Eastern Sea, and fly at night. Their sound is like a Luan chicken, their taste is sour and sweet, eating them cures madness, and seeing them means a bumper harvest for the world."

The appearance description is ignored; the general meaning is that after eating Wen Yao Fish, one can cure madness. It is an auspicious beast, and as long as it appears, the world will have a bumper harvest.

It forms a sharp contrast with the famous fierce beast Bi Fang.

After checking the information on Wen Yao Fish, Qin Huai clicked on the game panel to check the rewards obtained.

【Chen Gong's Affirmation】: The affirmation of the omnipotent assistant Chen Gong. Obtaining this title has a very high probability of letting the omnipotent assistant complete everything he can within his power for you. After all, not everyone can get the affirmation of a Wen Yao Fish.

After checking what could be checked, Qin Huai stood in the bathroom stall and thought calmly.

One characteristic of Wen Yao Fish is that eating it can cure symptoms of madness. Although Chen Gong probably didn't have the hobby of eating himself on weekdays, this might be the reason why his mental state could be so stable in the middle world.

Compared with Qu Jing, who committed suicide in the middle world, Chen Gong's mental state was simply as stable as it could be.

In a sense, Wen Yao Fish can be considered uniquely gifted. The ability of a monster to stabilize its mental state is itself a very rare quality.

This might be the benefit of being an auspicious beast.

As for the 【A recipe voluntarily gifted to you by Chen Gong】 in the quest reward, Qin Huai didn't find it in any column of the game system. This thing might need to be taken from Chen Gong himself, letting him find a recipe he is willing to give in the memories he recovered. Perhaps this recipe will appear in Chen Gong's recipe column.

Thinking of this, Qin Huai didn't hesitate and sent a WeChat message to Chen Gong.

Qin Huai: Are you there? Awake? See you in the 2nd-floor staff bathroom.

Chen Gong: Han Zong has booked the venue today, and the 2nd-floor private rooms are all empty. Let's meet in private room 888.

Qin Huai was enlightened, feeling that an omnipotent assistant is an omnipotent assistant, doing things thoughtfully. He immediately came out of the bathroom stall and headed to private room 888.

On the banquet side, Chen Gong, who usually had no emotional fluctuations, got up and told Han Guishan that he was going out to make a phone call. After Han Guishan nodded, he left the banquet hall.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Xu Cheng: "Xu Zong, the back kitchen should be finished and cleaning up now. You can go to the back kitchen to find Master Qin Huai in about 15 minutes."

After speaking, Chen Gong didn't forget to look at his watch and note the time.

A minute later, the two met in private room 888.

Qin Huai didn't know what to say for a moment; Chen Gong was the monster he was least familiar with among all the awakened monsters. Yesterday he was still trying to get words out of Chen Gong, and today Chen Gong woke up on his own. Chen Gong smiled slightly: "Although I don't know how Master Qin knew I was a monster, I believe you must have some abilities that are different from ordinary people, and yesterday's probing was not aimless."

"If you are willing, you can pick what you can say, and I will try my best to understand. But it's best to be within 15 minutes; if it takes too long, I'm afraid Xu Zong will be anxious."

Qin Huai:?

Although Qin Huai didn't know why Xu Cheng would be anxious if it took too long, he indeed had a lot to say, and he had already said it many times and was very proficient.

Qin Huai babbled and quickly said everything that could be said and couldn't be said, and also took the opportunity to pull Chen Gong into the "Loving Family" group, letting Chen Gong ask Chen Huihong, Luo Jun, and Qu Jing directly in the group if he didn't understand anything. The three of them all had plenty of time.

Qu Jing might be a little busier, but the other two really had plenty of time.

After listening to the explanation from the protagonist of the system novel, Chen Gong was rarely silent.

It can be seen that even as an omnipotent assistant, he would be somewhat at a loss when facing the protagonist of a system novel.

Chen Gong digested it for a full minute before slowly asking: "Should I now find a most delicious pastry recipe from my memory? No matter if I know how to make it or not, as long as I express that I want to gift this recipe to you, you can possess a dish with some kind of buff, right?"

Qin Huai was moved on the spot. Is this the self-cultivation of an assistant? He was so shocked just now, but his first reaction now was actually to give a recipe.

With this work quality, if he couldn't afford the 7 million annual salary, he really wanted to poach him from Han Guishan.

"This is not urgent," Qin Huai said. "I am more interested in what your obsession is now?"

Chen Gong understood: "You want to know how I failed the first time? Then I will talk about it simply."

Under Chen Gong's narration, Qin Huai heard the story of a miserable working person.

Like Chen Huihong, Chen Gong's first life tribulation was during the Republic of China era. His way of crossing the tribulation was very conservative. He transformed into a young and strong young man and came to the Magic City, first working as a coolie at the dock for a period of time to learn the rules of the human world, and then began to learn various skills.

There are really not many monsters who are so normal, actively entering the world, hardworking, and learning to be a human first.

As a Wen Yao Fish, Chen Gong is an auspicious beast, but he himself has no ability. He spent some time learning to write, then learned to use an abacus, entered a rice shop, and relied on his good eloquence and outstanding work ability, as well as his low salary requirements, to become an accountant in a rice shop.

Then, with the appreciation of the boss, he was promoted to a manager.

This sounds like a very normal promotion process.

Under Chen Gong's diligent work and the blessing of the Wen Yao Fish's auspicious beast buff, the rice shop's business became increasingly prosperous, and very rarely, it was not troubled by various forces.

The boss's business grew bigger and bigger, spreading to the entire south. Later, the business was not limited to the rice shop and started shipping business.

This kind of business was undoubtedly high-risk and knife-edge licking in that era, but the boss did it smoothly and soon became a giant wealth.

Chen Gong was also forgotten by the boss.

When the boss was just a rice shop owner, he really needed an excellent manager like Chen Gong. When the boss became a giant wealth, Chen Gong was just one of his many insignificant employees.

The boss relied on the auspicious beast blessing of the Wen Yao Fish to change from a small rice shop owner to a shipping tycoon, but he didn't know it was Chen Gong's credit, just feeling that his own life was good. After becoming a shipping tycoon, he even began to dislike the old employees of the initial rice shop, feeling that their wages were too high, and began to lay off staff with big moves.

Chen Gong was laid off just like that.

He didn't give up and found another boss.

Soon the second boss's business was smooth under the blessing of the Wen Yao Fish, and then he began to feel that the old employees like Chen Gong who started with him had seen his most down-and-out appearance, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he laid off all the old employees without any reason.

The third boss was the same.

Chen Gong knew that his ability might not be worthy of the boss after he became rich, but he didn't understand why every boss would abandon the partners who had fought with him without hesitation after becoming rich. He didn't need the boss to give him gold and silver jewelry as a reward; he just wanted to have the treatment that should be shared in weal and woe as written in the book.

Strong unwillingness caused Chen Gong to fail the tribulation.

His obsession is actually very simple: he just wants to find a good boss who can share weal and woe.

Chen Gong didn't meet the good boss he wanted in his second life either.

Now is his third life.

As a monster, Chen Gong's tribulation difficulty is actually not high, but it is not low. After all, everyone who has worked knows that the probability of finding a good boss is as difficult as reaching the sky, but such an outrageous good boss, Han Guishan, was really found by Chen Gong.

It is reasonable for Chen Gong to suddenly succeed in crossing the tribulation.

"So you actually felt at the birthday banquet that Han Zong is really a rare good boss in the world, who can share weal and woe, and with a touch of emotion, the obsession was resolved and the tribulation was successful," Qin Huai asked.

Chen Gong thought for a while: "I'm not very clear. I just thought of when Han Zong first founded Hao Weidao at the moment I ate the Four Joy Tangyuan."

"At that time, I had just graduated from university and was working by Han Zong's side. The company had no money in the initial stage. To save money, Wang Zong cooked and delivered food to the company for us employees every day. The food Wang Zong cooked was also particularly bad. She was afraid that the dishes wouldn't be cooked, so she always stewed them in the pot for a long time. When they were delivered to the company, the dishes were soft and rotten."

"Under those circumstances, on my birthday in the first year I came to the company, Han Zong gave me a computer."

"He said that the number of computers in the company was not enough, and I used the computer more often. It was not good to stay in the company to work overtime to use the computer. He was the boss, and he just happened to give me a computer on the occasion of my birthday, so I didn't have to fight for space with others and could get off work on time. If I resigned, I could take the computer with me, just as a little heart from the company."

"At that time, Han Zong had to share a computer with others. Although he didn't use it much, at that moment I felt that I had really entered a good company, and I wanted to work in this company for a lifetime."

"When I ate the Four Joy Tangyuan, I suddenly remembered this incident and felt warm and happy in my heart, and then the obsession was resolved, and I woke up."

Qin Huai was shocked.

When he was looking at the game panel just now, he also took a look at the buff of Four Joy Tangyuan.

【Eating this dish at a birthday banquet can make you feel joy from the heart. After all, blessings full of kindness are one of the warmest loves in this world.】

So... Chen Gong actually woke up by eating Four Joy Tangyuan.

The buff happened to be a match.

It was because Qin Huai woke up, and it was the waking method that looked most like it should appear in a system novel among all monsters.

What... what a normal monster.

In the first life, his behavior was normal, the process was normal, the waking mode was normal, and even the obsession looked relatively normal.

Simply a model student among monsters.

Do you fish monsters have a tribulation training class? It seems that you fish monsters are much more normal than bird monsters and plant monsters.

"Then..." Qin Huai didn't know what to ask.

Chen Gong looked at his watch: "Master Qin, it has been 18 minutes. I suggest you go back to the kitchen first, otherwise it will be easy to be misunderstood if you stay in the bathroom for too long."

"We will talk about the rest later. You also have to give me some time to let me go back and flip through my memories to see if there is a very good recipe I can give you."

Qin Huai felt that what Chen Gong said was very reasonable and nodded: "Good."

"Do you want to come to the kitchen to eat some dim sum later?"

"Yes, help me save a bowl of Four Joy Tangyuan, sorry for the trouble."
