Swallowed Star: Food Shocks the Universe

Nowadays, mankind has recovered lost territory, and technology has entered a stage of rapid development. The term "base city" has become an old name from the past.

It is midsummer now, and the city park in the center of Jiangcheng is covered with green plants and shady trees, making it an excellent place for a picnic to escape the heat.

On a remote lawn, Jia Yi put aside his responsibilities and played chess with Xue Xi across from him like an ordinary old man.

Xue Xi looked at the chess endgame on the table solemnly. She blinked and suddenly sneezed. The chessboard in front of her was immediately in chaos. "Oh my, this sneeze came at a really bad time. Let's start over!"

Jia Yi, with a gloomy face, smashed the cannon in his hand on Xue Xi's general: "You damn girl, you have already cheated for three games! Is it a gentleman's behavior to regret this move?"

Xue Xi rearranged the chessboard with a wry smile and said, "How can you regret your move? This was clearly force majeure, don't you think so, Sister Xin?" After saying that, she winked at Xu Xin who was watching the game on the side.

Xu Xin's eyes suddenly became dazed. She stood up with a puzzled look on her face: "Hey, I can't see all of a sudden. Xiaoping and Xiaohua, mom is here to play with you!" Then she turned around and walked away to find the two little ones surrounding the temporary chef Luo Feng.

Lei Shen was playing a virtual game, and he stretched his neck to interrupt: "Fourth sister, second brother is not talking about you. Look how angry Jia Lao is. You even messed up the three-game sure kill."

Jia Yi threw his sleeves and stroked his beard angrily: "I don't want to play anymore. You are such a lousy chess player. You keep pestering me to play chess. It's so boring!"

Xue Xi curled her lips and looked at Hong who was calm and composed, "Brother Hong, how about you try a few?"

Hong shook his head and turned away: "Fourth sister, although I am a big brother with an infinite heart, I am afraid that I cannot tolerate your ungentlemanly way of playing chess. I will swear. It is not good to be so irritable."

Xue Xi was furious when she saw that no one was playing chess with her! She was furious for a while, muttering, "I'm not a gentleman, I'm a woman!" She slammed the chessboard into the space, and then followed Xu Xin to play with the two little kids with a smile.

Seeing Xue Xi put away the chessboard and left, Jia Yi sat back in his seat leisurely, shook his head, and looked deeply at Hong who was resting with his eyes closed: "Have you really decided? Isn't it too early to contact the universe now? Although we have made some progress in recent years, we are still far from connecting to the universe. It feels too risky."

Hong opened his eyes upon hearing this, and recalled the horrific consequences of becoming a slave planet in Xue Xi's files. He shook his head firmly at Jia Yi, who was looking worried, "It's not too early, or even a little late. The information asymmetry is very scary for us. It is more important to enter the universe as soon as possible and find a way forward for our Earth. After we leave, I'll trouble you to worry about the affairs on Earth."

Jia Yi sighed softly: "Ah, maybe you are right. I am old and have fewer ideas for adventure. Now I just want to live a stable life. You can go with peace of mind. Although I can't help you with anything, I can still handle some of the tedious things on earth."

At this time, Luo Feng walked to the middle table with a plate of barbecue and clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone who is playing and chatting, stop for a while and come and taste my chef Luo's cooking!"

In order to show off his barbecue skills at this party, Luo Feng looked up information about barbecue on the Internet in advance, waiting for this moment to show off his skills in front of his relatives and friends.

Luo Hongguo and his wife first praised their son. They each grabbed a skewer of grilled chicken fillet and took a bite. After taking a bite, they paused for a moment, then finished the meal without changing their expressions. They praised Luo Feng, who was looking expectant, "Well, it's not bad. It's comparable to Chef Xue Xi's cooking skills."

Xu Xin glanced at the old couple suspiciously. Is this true? A Feng would put salt minerals in the fried rice he made. Is this edible?

But it looks good, how about trying it?

Soon, as a string of fried enoki mushrooms was put into her mouth, before she could chew, the spicy taste, the extreme spicy taste rushed straight to the top of her head. Xu Xin could no longer control her expression and hurriedly looked around for water. The other people who had eaten the food had strange expressions.

Xue Xi Wan Xiang Water condensed into a cup of mountain spring water and handed it to the smoking Xu Xin, then she picked up a grilled sausage and put it in her mouth to taste it as if she didn't believe it.

The next second, she was hit by a sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and greasy taste with her divine tongue fully opened, and she fell straight down: "There's poison in this dish!"

Luo Feng looked awkwardly at the people he had knocked down, and quickly took out the food Xue Xi had prepared in advance from the box behind him: "Alright, alright, you know my cooking skills are bad, stop pretending, eat some delicious food to cleanse your stomach, if you touch the kitchen again, I'll be a dog!"

As soon as the words came out, the expressions of the people with painful faces recovered, and they comforted Luo Feng hastily, and then immediately sat at the table to eat. (Luo Feng: I will not say who is a dog if you play me for the sake of food.)

Of course, the other people were just acting, but Xue Xi was not. Her divine tongue no longer allowed her to eat such ordinary low-taste food. She quickly grabbed the Tianfu Cola and took a few gulps before she recovered. She stared at Luo Feng's barbecue with fear on her face and made up her mind never to eat other people's food again. It was too scary!

The people at the table, especially those who knew that Xue Xi had learned the Divine Tongue, burst into laughter. Jia Yi, on the other hand, looked melancholy. “Ah, Xue Xi’s meal, I’ll have less and less to eat. From now on, I can only miss her in the War God Palace.”

Xue Xi was also sitting on the stool at this time: "Hey, don't be depressed, when Luo Feng comes back, I will bring you the virtual universe sensor I mentioned, and then I will do the same for you in there."

When talking about things in the universe, everyone at the table pricked up their ears, as if to say "Tell more, I'd like to listen". For a while, apart from eating, everyone at the table was concentrating on listening to Xue Xi's stories.

At this time, outside the earth, a spaceship appeared silently, and strange-looking aliens emerged from it one after another and attacked the earth.

Xue Xi, who was speaking till her mouth was dry, fiddled with a bracelet on her hand, which showed a three-dimensional model of the earth. At this moment, a dozen red dots on it were rapidly approaching them.

Xue Xi's lips curled up slightly. This bracelet was connected to a planetary defense network called the Golden Shield, which was one of the third rewards. She had been delaying these past few days just to wait for this group of adventure teams from the Nuo Lanshan family.

In order not to alert the enemy, she also asked Babata to build a surface network covering the earth, which showed that the strongest person on earth was the God of War who was at the peak of the apprentice level. Sure enough, after this group of people learned the information, they couldn't wait to come and die.

Xue Xi showed the message sent by Jin Dun to a few people: "This is the first batch of adventurers to come to Earth, and it will definitely not be the last batch. What we have to do is to become the Lord of Earth as soon as possible and obtain the protection of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Otherwise, if a Domain Lord or Realm Lord comes next time, Earth will no longer be our home."

Jia Yi fell silent, looking at the landing aliens, clenched his fists, and nodded to Xue Xi and the others: "Go do it!"
