Dong dong dong!
Just as Si Junfang was playing TFT and dominating with a self-enlightened Holy Light Eye lineup, a knock sounded at the door. Mo Yu transformed into a black shadow and opened the door again.
"The items are back!" the proud clone walked in with arrogance. Upon seeing Si Junfang, he was stunned for a moment. He immediately circulated his spiritual energy, causing his hair to stand on end, gathering into clumps with sharp tips.
It was clear that with his pride, he would not allow his head to be ruffled. If not for the cooking mission, he would have dispelled the shadow clone directly.
He looked at Si Junfang warily and then walked towards the kitchen.
"Is this also one of your new abilities?" Si Junfang looked at the clone in surprise. As the clone passed the sofa, she reached out and touched his arm, confirming he was solid, and her face showed even more astonishment.
"Yes, the one I called to cook. Sister, don't mess around, he's very proud!" Yu Zhibo said.
"Giving different personalities, how interesting!" Si Junfang chuckled, not delving too deeply. She was clearly accustomed to Yu Zhibo's myriad strange abilities and quickly turned her attention back to the game.
An hour later, Wang Angge and Su Caiying arrived with Li Shanjun, carrying a large jar of green plum spirit wine. It was said to have cost 3 merit points at the trading market, and it was sour, sweet, and tasted excellent.
Upon seeing the clone helping in the kitchen, they were amazed again. However, it was clear they were already accustomed to Yu Zhibo's various peculiar abilities, and their attention was quickly drawn to the tiger meat and python beef stewing in the pot.
Yu Zhibo kept his Sharingan open, observing the energy changes within the D-grade spirit meat. With every stir, he ensured the meat was heated evenly. Combined with star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves, an extremely enticing aroma began to waft from the pot.
After stewing the D-grade spirit meat, Yu Zhibo started pan-frying fish and stir-frying vegetables. With the help of his Sharingan, he controlled the heat perfectly, maximizing the inherent deliciousness of the ingredients.
When the last dish was served, it was exactly 2:59 PM, and a knock sounded at the door.
Seeing that the cooking was done, the proud clone cast a proud glance at the table full of dishes, then formed hand seals with his fingers and vanished into smoke.
Yu Zhibo walked over and opened the door. Standing outside were Li Fang, Li Shanzhu, and Wang Yan.
Li Fang still sported his Aizen-style hairstyle and wore his familiar black clothes and pants, his expression lazy. He carried a large bag of dried fish. Upon seeing Yu Zhibo, he greeted him, "Good afternoon. I don't think you're lacking anything, so I bought some dried fish for your Mo Yu. They're low-grade spirit fish, not worth much, but it's better than coming empty-handed!"
His words were direct, but without any hidden intentions, allowing Yu Zhibo to feel his sincerity.
"Meow! (≧▽≦)!" Mo Yu was extremely excited and instantly became friends with Li Fang.
Li Fang also smiled and patted its little head.
Next was Wang Yan. She took out a pendant, and after thinking for a long time, couldn't figure out what to buy. She couldn't afford anything expensive, and you didn't seem to need anything cheap. "I happened to condense a Water Essence Pearl into a pendant. Wearing it can keep your skin moisturized all year round. See if there's any intimate female you want to give it to."
After speaking, she winked at Yu Zhibo.
Yu Zhibo laughed heartily, "Just come, no need to bring gifts, it's too formal! I'll take it."
He then grabbed the pendant. "The season is about to change, and my mom often complains about dry skin. I'll give this to her."
Li Shanzhu smiled and cupped her hands towards Yu Zhibo, "Brother Yu, I'm still interning and don't have anything good to give. I just wish you a happy new home here!"
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite!" Yu Zhibo reached out and ruffled her bun, enjoying the feeling of patting someone else's head. He then invited them inside.
With everyone present, it was time to feast.
"Wow, this tiger meat is amazing!" Wang Angge picked up a piece of python beef and put it in his mouth. The deliciousness exploded on his taste buds, and as the python beef went down his throat, he felt his whole body warming up.
The others also picked up their chopsticks one after another. Only the Li Shanjun siblings, after eating a few pieces of python beef, could eat no more. They could only look at everyone with envy and then pick up the vegetables and spirit fish with lower energy content.
The atmosphere within the third team was excellent. The group ate with great joy, praising Yu Zhibo's cooking. Si Junfang even clamored to bring spirit meat over to dine with Yu Zhibo in the future, which startled Yu Zhibo into pretending not to hear, not daring to agree.
Then they started drinking the large jar of green plum wine brought by Wang Angge.
Soon, after a few rounds of drinks, Si Junfang feigned drunkenness and revealed something that surprised everyone:
"I heard from a friend that Lighthouse Country, Universe Country, and Country R are all going to start releasing information about superhumans. It's estimated that our country will also start releasing it soon. This will inevitably cause great panic among ordinary people, and ghosts will likely gradually increase and strengthen. You should be careful and buy some talismans for warding off evil for your families, otherwise, they might go up in price later."
After speaking, Si Junfang drained the green plum wine in her cup, her expression somewhat agitated.
Li Fang held his porcelain cup, his expression calm. He asked, "Is it okay for you to tell us something like this directly?"
Si Junfang said indifferently, "It will be announced anyway in a while. It's better for you to know earlier so you can prepare. What are you afraid of? Our team's young Li siblings, the brother and sister, just passed the heart-testing yesterday, and Little Yu'er was even personally verified by the director. There's no problem. It's fine to tell you, but be careful not to spread it."
Wang Yan frowned, "In that case, our future missions might not be easy!"
Li Fang said, "Remove the word 'might'!"
Wang Angge looked even more like a salted fish, "Ghosts, so annoying. If only I had Caiying's fire-attribute ability, it has a restraining effect on ghosts. Caiying, you're about to take off!"
Su Caiying: "It's okay, we'll still team up then!"
Wang Angge: (≧▽≦)
Si Junfang said, "The attribute of the ability doesn't matter. Theoretically, as long as the attack contains spiritual energy, it can cause damage to ghosts. Those of you who haven't reached D-grade, hurry up and work hard. Little Yu'er has only been in the bureau for a few days and is already D-grade!"
"We're holding you back," Wang Angge and Su Caiying both showed expressions of "I'm trash." It was obvious that the moment they entered, they could feel the spiritual energy intensity emanating from Yu Zhibo.
"I suspect I'll be surpassed too!" Li Fang shrugged. "I just fought this morning and almost capsized. This guy's strength is like he's cheating!"
"Impossible!" Si Junfang looked at Li Fang in surprise, then turned her gaze to Yu Zhibo. As the team leader, she knew Li Fang's strength, which was why she was so astonished.
Yu Zhibo chuckled, raised his hand, and arcs of electricity immediately coiled around it, "Chidori Sharp Cry."
Since even the leader of the Executive Department knew he had lightning techniques, there was no need to hide it from his own team leader. This wasn't a novel; what was the point of hiding things?
Therefore, Yu Zhibo decisively revealed his lightning techniques, maintaining a forced calm expression.
Looking at the lightning arcs swirling around his hand, Si Junfang exclaimed, "Holy crap!" She stood up abruptly, looking at him in disbelief, "This is a lightning technique?"
Wang Angge murmured, "What kind of monster did I recruit..."
The remaining Wang Yan and the Li Shanzhu siblings were all shocked, speechless.
Li Fang picked up his porcelain cup, brought it to his lips, and tilted his head, draining the green plum wine within.
A new era was about to arrive.
