Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 723 - 365: Special Recipe (3)

When Qin Huai finished reading for the fifth time, all the food in front of Shi Dadan was gone.

Qin Huai could tell Shi Dadan was a bit full, but maybe because he was too bored, he still wanted to eat more. From the amount he just ate, it seems that the appetite of Dang Kang after succeeding in his spiritual trial is as astonishing as in the first life.

Qin Huai kinda wanted to go back and make crab yellow meat buns.

Although Xu Nuo’s filling was made with fresh crab yellow, Qin Huai wasn’t sure if using crab yellow sauce was reasonable, but he really wanted to make them.

He watched the video tutorial five times in a row and now truly understood Xu Nuo’s understanding and thinking, and he strongly agreed. He thought Xu Nuo might not be extremely skilled, but his thinking is definitely top-notch.

He might only have A-level skills in making snacks, but he definitely has S-Class snacks inside him.

Xu Nuo’s master must be very impressive.

"Old Shi, call Sister Hong and the others to see if they want to go back now. I kinda want to make buns." Qin Huai said.

Shi Dadan nodded and immediately made a video call to Chen Huihong via WeChat.

After several calls, Chen Huihong answered, and Shi Dadan said a couple of sentences, hung up the call, and said: "Chen Huihong and Xiao Qu still have several projects to play, they don’t want to go back now. Old Luo wants to go back but he doesn’t want to ride in the same car with me."

"They told us to go back first. Chen Huihong said she’ll have her brother’s driver pick them up later."

Qin Huai thought that was fine, took out his phone, and sent a message to Zheng Siyuan, saying he had something to do and had to leave first. Then he looked up and asked Shi Dadan, "So Old Shi, are you coming back with me, or do you want to keep playing in the amusement park? Or maybe go find Sister Hong and..."

Before Qin Huai could finish, Shi Dadan interrupted him, smiling simply, "I’ve almost had enough. I’ll go back with you."

Qin Huai: 6

Qin Huai thought it was just as well because he had something to ask Shi Dadan on the way. They decisively left, and by the time they got into the car, Zheng Siyuan still hadn’t replied to Qin Huai, probably still busy on some amusement ride.

Either on the pirate ship or the drop tower, poor Zheng Siyuan and Ouyang.

With navigation set for Yunzhong Restaurant, Qin Huai slowly drove out of the amusement park parking lot, with Shi Dadan in the passenger seat. Qin Huai casually asked in a conversational tone, "Old Shi, do you know how Xu Nuo failed the spiritual trial?"

"I don’t know." Shi Dadan shook his head.

"Xu Nuo didn’t tell you?"

Shi Dadan thought for a moment, "Sort of, but it’s not that he intentionally didn’t tell me. He doesn’t remember himself."

"Doesn’t remember?" Qin Huai was a bit surprised, "I know spirits gradually lose their memory during the spiritual trial, but could it be to the extent of not remembering why they failed?"

"Yes." Shi Dadan nodded confidently, "I actually talked to Old Luo about this last night. This feeling of forgetting is quite mysterious. You feel like you remember a lot of things, but when you try to recall specific details or crucial points, you realize you actually don’t remember."

"Xu Nuo knows he’s a spirit and knows he failed the spiritual trial, but he doesn’t remember what his obsession was. He acts more on instinct. Spirits who fail the trial, even if they lose the most crucial memories, still have their instincts. This instinct is etched in their bones."

"This is also why Xu Nuo usually seems aimless because he doesn’t know what he should do. You could say he’s human, but he’s not entirely human. He knows he’s a spirit needing to overcome his obsession to succeed in the trial, but he doesn’t know how to do it. He can’t just live according to a human’s routine. Mr. Xu wants him to go to college, but he doesn’t want to, and that shows his obsession has nothing to do with college."

"Across many lifetimes, spirits seem to have many opportunities for trials, but missing and confused memories pose significant obstacles. Once a spirit fails a trial, it’s impossible to succeed easily."

"I know Old Luo finds me annoying. I was nagging him so much last night, almost like I was lecturing him, but I genuinely want to tell him more before he reincarnates."

Qin Huai smiled and said, "Old Shi, the you now is really different from the you I just saw in the memories."

Shi Dadan smiled honestly, "Of course, it’s different. Back then, I had just started learning how to be a person, and now I’ve been a person for decades."

"Being a person is difficult and tiring. It took me many years to learn how to be one."
