The stubborn guardian sneered, ignored Qiu Qiu, and paired the meat and green pepper together.

Finally, I cut it with a knife and made a plate of fried minced pork with green pepper.

Qiu Qiu didn't have any objection at all. He kept praising the smell and patiently put the cooked eggplant into the new device and started scanning according to the instructions.

The box's exterior emits a light blue light and makes a buzzing sound.

Qiu Qiu stared at it, as if he wanted to dig a hole into it. He thought it was too slow. It took five to ten minutes to scan it once. The minced green pepper and pork were already ready, but this one was not ready yet!

At the beginning of the application of new technology, there will be various problems. Thinking about it, Qiu Qiu continued to read the instructions.

Depending on the amount of food, the new machine takes different amounts of time to scan.

The copied virtual finished product will appear in the compartment of the box, and can be taken out by specifying a finger and placed anywhere in the store.

Limited by Eden's current data carrying capacity, each device can only work in a single thread, which means that it can only copy one copy at a time, and the second copy can only be started after the end.

There is also a time limit for the existence of finished products, and they will be automatically cleared after twenty minutes.

In other words, netizens’ fantasy of cooking a portion of food and making a hundred copies of it through a machine to entertain virtual guests is basically shattered.

"Except for some drinks, the system recommends that each dish be copied at most two or three times..." Qiu Qiu was very puzzled after reading it: "Then it will be cold? If it is not cold, the taste will change."

"When it's cold, it's cold." Zhong Yu stretched out his arms and put the plate on the counter: "Isn't it all wasted before?"

While talking, the equipment stopped, and a rainbow shadow lit up above, indicating that it was completed.

Qiu Qiu couldn't wait to take out the fish-flavored eggplant and carried it to the small table. It was Zhong Yu who took out the replica after looking at the instructions.

The fresh purple-skinned eggplant was cut with a hob, and the bean paste, vinegar and garlic burst out with a special fragrance. Zhong Yu collected the juice for a while, and although it was not thickened, the marinade was still thick enough to infiltrate the eggplant itself.

The minced meat from the stir-fried green peppers was divided into a little bit, embellishing the aroma of the meat. The small plate was piled high, and Qiu Qiu took several bites before leveling the top.

"It's delicious." Qiu Qiu waited for Zhong Yu to sit down, then swallowed and said something. His eyes moved admiringly to the plate of virtual eggplant, he reached out and touched it, and it passed through as expected.

"Forget it." Seeing him like this, Zhong Yu definitely didn't want to go into Eden to try the taste for a while, so he stood up and said, "I'll go."

After that, he went behind the counter, took out an earplug from his pocket, and logged in to Eden.

The store was not open, so Qiu Qiu temporarily set up a test whitelist in the control center before letting him in.

Zhong Yu sat down, followed the prompts to summon the virtual tableware in the menu, and took a bite of Schrödinger's eggplant.

"How's it going?" Qiu Qiu had already turned to the green pepper minced meat.

"Well..." Zhong Yu's expression was a little strange, and he said after a while: "It's pretty good."

Is this good or bad? Qiu Qiu looked at him doubtfully, remembering that Zhong Yu couldn't be considered an ordinary human being, so his comments probably didn't count.

He had no choice but to speed up his meal, and after finishing boarding Eden, he ran in from the door.

Just after taking a bite, Qiu Qiu paused and looked into the eyes of Zhong Yu, the blue-ray man sitting opposite.

There was silence for a while.

"Is it really okay?" Qiu Qiu slowly made a frowning expression.

"Not bad." Zhong Yu leaned on the chair, with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Qiu Qiu, who had never taken a serious course in human behavior, couldn't understand and didn't know whether he was serious or joking.

Qiu Qiu looked at the eggplant again and said unhappily: "It's not delicious at all."

Zhong Yu didn't mind it, saying that if you don't want to eat, I'll eat it, and for the first time, he ate half a plate.

Qiu Qiu put his hands on his knees and sat obediently, watching him, thinking to himself.

Slime's taste is different from that of ordinary people, but after such a long period of practical experience, Qiu Qiu has been able to make some simple distinctions. For example, he can judge the "human taste" that he can feel in a piece of food, and the taste of the food itself.

Taste, what are they, and what is the difference?

Although this feeling is not very clear, it is not impossible.

But Qiu Qiu felt that this blue-light eggplant not only lacked the flavor he liked as a guardian, but even the taste of the food itself was subtly deviated. No wonder Xiaobai said "there will be a loss in perception."

"I don't want to sell it." Qiu Qiu said distressedly: "This is not delicious at all. How can my devil's restaurant give everyone something bad to eat?"

Zhong Yu put down his chopsticks and said casually: "Then I won't sell it."

The two looked at each other for a moment. Qiu Qiu nodded slowly and said seriously: "Okay."

Since Eden Entertainment announced the equipment upgrade, there have been voices discussing this matter everywhere, and everyone is very excited to see it. Walking on Jiacheng Street in the morning, Qiu Qiu felt in a daze that the birds on the trees were all "Eden" and "Eden"

The ground calls.

The customers in his store are looking forward to it even more. They have been chatting non-stop in the past few days. They are all discussing the changes this initiative will bring to Eden, the per capita Eden Entertainment non-staff planning, and the private experts who provide guidance.

In everyone's opinion, this is an opportunity for all restaurants with Eden landmarks to flourish. With new equipment, sales have increased hundreds of times every minute, and now virtual guests have to queue up... Why does it rhyme?

But Qiu Qiu tasted it and felt that it was better not to take advantage of this trend. After all, it was against principle, and he always felt that tasting and eating were not the same thing.

His Devil's Restaurant is not short of customers either, and at worst he won't be ranked on the rookie list.

Just when I was thinking about what to tell Bai Xiaoxu and the others tomorrow, my bracelet vibrated. It was from the staff who were upgrading the equipment.

Qiu Qiu rated him, clicked Finish, and when he exited, he received a new message from Eden Entertainment.

"...'New World' ranking competition?" Qiu Qiu slowly read: "...All catering stores must participate?"

***

The New World Ranking Tournament, as the name suggests, means that after the equipment is upgraded, Eden enters a new and exciting world.

In order to promote the development of the virtual network, improve user stickiness and playability, and stimulate the enthusiasm of stores to participate, Eden planned this interaction early.

Three days later, when all restaurant plans are upgraded, the event will begin. At that time, the store's customer flow, sales, virtual meal delivery rate, etc. will be calculated with a certain weight and ranked.

This is a league-wide event and cannot be compared to the traffic of a small newcomer list.

After the official website released the promotion, all the star stores in Eden were gearing up, and event notices were flying all over the place.

On social networks, the discussion of related topics has exploded. Just look around and everyone is talking about this.

Article 1: [Reasonable discussion, can I rely on eden to lose weight].

Article 2: [If I had money, could I eat crayfish 20 hours a day non-stop?]

Article...: [I don't understand why you can't copy the works of famous chefs. Isn't it just a piece of data? If I want to eat, I can eat the most awesome one! I don't want to give you free money. Let Eden plan to eat.

]

Article...+5: [In the final analysis, Eden still needs to advocate offline tourism. Guess which region will be the biggest winner in this technological innovation?]

When he saw this, Clive, who was in a hotel in Weiyan District, clicked on it.

The first answer is - "any district outside Weiyan".

He smiled.

At the other end of the terminal, a public relations company was reporting to Clive.

The other party kept talking, emphasizing their professionalism, saying that through unremitting efforts, they had achieved brilliant results and successfully put the "dirty and messy" label on Weiyan District.

The next step is to use the new topics produced by Eden Entertainment to continue to deepen this impression in all aspects until the goal of the funder is achieved.

The ultimate goal of the financial backer Clive is not to discredit Weiyan District, but to put pressure on Zhong Yu.

But there is no need to tell these people who do dirty work.

He gave a few words of faint praise and gave some advice: "When you do things, don't be too obvious. There are only a few people with deep hatred after all. Just pretend to be passers-by and say 'just words', which will be more convincing."

The other party kept saying yes.

"Also, don't try to control public opinion, but guide it." Clive said gently: "For some things, as long as you make a start, stakeholders will naturally follow suit..."

"...For example?" the other party asked carefully.

"It's nothing," Clive said, "You just do your own thing and don't worry about anything else."

The so-called stakeholders are naturally those who compete with Weiyan District.

In this regard, the owners of several shops on Xinxing Street have the most say.

The next morning, it was eternal dusk in Eden, and five virtual blue-light people walked into the small shop called "Temperature" one after another.

The owner, Xiao Hu, and others all came in, closed the store, and turned on the visitor-rejection mode.

"Everyone, have you all thought about it?" Mustache sat down, his eyes twinkling.

Several people looked at each other and nodded.

Mustache said with satisfaction: "Then let's get to know each other?"

This time no one said anything.

These five people are all the owners of a certain store on Xinxing Street. No one knows who they are, because they use avatars anyway.

Obviously they don't want to say it themselves.

The mustache shop owner was quite embarrassed.

He actually went to the battle, because he was the one who summoned the people, he was the one who sent out the notice about the trouble, and he chose the meeting place in the store, so he couldn't hide it.

He coughed twice, pretended not to speak just now, and continued: "Then let's discuss it? How to deal with him? Do you have any ideas?"

"Temperature" originally ranked first in the newcomer rankings. After being slapped in the face by a mysterious master, the customer flow and reputation have been declining.
To be continued...
