However, the piece of Star Beast Treasure was too large to fit in the small living room on the third floor, so she broke off a small chunk from it.
Upon hearing that it had been taken from the stomach fluid of a Star Beast, Bai Zhenzhen became curious and carefully examined it. The texture was slightly slippery to the touch; when she squeezed it, it felt firm yet not tough. From the broken edge, it had a somewhat charred fiber quality.
Bringing it closer to her nose, she detected a faint, refreshing fragrance. It wasn't overpowering, but it was invigorating and refreshing. Although she didn't know exactly what it was, its appearance suggested that it was something valuable. If she wanted to know more, she could always ask Academician Zheng; he would definitely know.
Isn't Academician Zheng an expert in mecha? Seeing how engrossed he was with beast bones and how he tried to please Su Rui, Lin Yao instinctively thought that Academician Zheng might specialize in this field.
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Bai Zhenzhen widened her eyes in disbelief. "Don't tell me you don't even know who Academician Zheng is?"
Lin Yao shot her a confused look. Bai Zhenzhen glared at her and quickly searched for information about Academician Zheng on her holographic device, projecting the details onto the wall.
Zheng Mingzhong, renowned in the Yunmeng Star System as a Master Pharmacist, Materials Researcher, Mecha Manufacturer, and Equipment Manufacturer.
Looking at that impressive list of titles made Lin Yao's scalp tingle. She had seen versatile talents before but never someone so proficient in multiple fields. Indeed, there were always some extraordinary individuals in this world who could be quite intimidating.
"Don't worry," Lin Yao said earnestly after reading through the information. "From now on, I will definitely treat Academician Zheng with utmost respect!"
Seeing her sincere declaration, Bai Zhenzhen finally let her off the hook.
That evening, Zhang Feng returned home and heard that new guests had arrived at the villa. Eager to welcome Su Rui, he prepared an elaborate feast.
When Lin Yao went upstairs to call him for dinner, she found him sniffing around curiously.
"What's wrong?"
If he hadn't looked so serious, Lin Yao might have suspected he was playing a prank on her.
"You have a faint and subtle fragrance about you," Su Rui said thoughtfully while stroking his chin.
Lin Yao looked down and sniffed herself but couldn't detect any scent at all. "I don't smell anything."
A faint fragrance lingered in the air. It was normal that you couldn't detect it yourself; I only caught a whiff when you walked in. It felt somewhat familiar, yet I couldn't quite place it.
But never mind that; let's head down for dinner. Our roommate is quite the cook and has prepared a delicious spread to welcome you.
Although Su Rui appeared somewhat arrogant at the First Research Institute, he was essentially a sharp-tongued chatterbox. He was more than willing to accept kindness among peers.
Given your warm hospitality, I suppose I can grace you with my presence!
Lin Yao shot him a glance. You might want to tone it down a bit; we're all young here and won't indulge you like Academician Zheng does.
When they reached the restaurant downstairs, Bai Zhenzhen had already instructed the household robot to set the table with dishes and utensils. Upon seeing Su Rui, she wore a polite smile.
Ma, Ma Rui, right?
Just call me Su Rui like Lin Yao does.
Bai Zhenzhen nodded in agreement. Sure, Su Rui. Please hold on a moment; Zhang Feng is finishing up the last dish.
Just then, Zhang Feng emerged with the final dish in hand.
He carefully placed it on the table and announced, "All the dishes are ready; let's eat!"
Su Rui didn't take a seat but instead looked over the spread from above and turned to Lin Yao. "Is this what you usually eat?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Lin Yao replied, puzzled.
"Don't you have any energy food here?"
"Why would we eat that? It's low in energy and tastes bad," Bai Zhenzhen interjected bluntly.
Su Rui looked utterly bewildered. "So what exactly is your energy food like?"
Bai Zhenzhen opened her holographic device and quickly searched for a promotional video about energy food, projecting it for him to see.
In the video, a chef took out a piece of exotic beast meat, simply sliced it up, added some seasoning, arranged it on a plate, and voilà—an energy food was born.
Su Rui was stunned after watching. "Is the preparation of energy food in the Yunmeng Star System this haphazard? What's the difference between this and just eating meat directly?"
The so-called masters of energy food claim that cooking causes energy loss in exotic beast meat. Only by keeping it raw and unprocessed can one maximize its energy potential.
That's utter nonsense! These people aren't true energy chefs and certainly don't know how to make real energy food! Su Rui was infuriated.
Then what do you consider real energy food to be like?
It should be rich in energy and taste good too.
This request of yours can only be fulfilled like Meng Xingchen, by cooking with high-grade energy beast meat to achieve both sufficient energy and great taste. Lin Yao vaguely remembered that during the practical exam, Meng Xingchen mentioned the energy food he had eaten, which was made from high-grade lean meat.
At this moment, Lin Yao and Zhang Feng exchanged glances. Back then, they were enjoying the fragrant pig, which was packed with energy. So, could it be that the fragrant pig was the energy food Su Rui referred to?
"Can you make energy food?" Lin Yao asked curiously.
"I certainly can't. If everyone could do it, there wouldn't be a profession called energy chef," Zhang Feng replied.
"Could you describe to us how energy food is generally made?" Lin Yao inquired further.
"I don't know the specifics, but what the energy chefs showed us didn't differ much from making ordinary food. The only difference might be that energy chefs all possess fire abilities," Zhang Feng explained.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenzhen shrugged and said somewhat sarcastically, "Well, that's unfortunate. None of us here have fire abilities."
Zhang Feng's expression dimmed slightly at her words. Lin Yao patted his shoulder to comfort him. "You did cook the fragrant pig during the practical exam, and it was quite similar to energy food, right? Perhaps being an energy chef doesn't necessarily require fire abilities."
Zhang Feng chuckled innocently. "Captain, I don't have that talent. If I can't be a chef, then I'll just be a pure warrior."
"Why would anyone want to be an energy chef? That's not something from our Yunmeng Star System," Bai Zhenzhen said bluntly.
Zhang Feng looked puzzled. "If it's not from our Yunmeng Star System, then where is it from?"
"From other star systems!" Bai Zhenzhen replied.
Zhang Feng's face was filled with confusion. "Other star systems?"
At that moment, Lin Yao distinctly felt the information gap between them. Originally from the Mingguang Star System, she had a concrete impression of other star systems existing outside of Yunmeng. However, she couldn't find any trace of knowledge about these other star systems in her original memories.
To address this, she even searched for information about other star systems on the Central Star Network in hopes of finding some mention of the Mingguang Star System, but there wasn't a single piece of information regarding other star systems on the network.
