Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1118 - 540: Can Riding a Roller Coaster Really Bring Enlightenment?! (2)

Ouyang, who had been completely dumbfounded by the conversation, nodded blankly, full of doubt in his heart: Is it really that serious?

That's so exaggerated. Qin Huai is just riding the roller coaster ten times in a row, not participating in the Red Bull Challenge.

Ouyang was sitting here dumbfounded, primarily wanting to see how many rides Qin Huai could take before he pukes, and then when Qin Huai finally does, to praise him with a "Dude, awesome!" Also, to ask him how he could manage to increase his ride count so much in such a short time.

Did he secretly go to the gym? Any secret techniques he's using?

But why in everyone's mouth has it turned into Qin Huai being depressed and not wanting to live?

Ouyang really wanted to meekly say, "Maybe you're overthinking it. Could it be that Qin Huai simply loves riding roller coasters?" But he didn't dare.

He feared that if he opened his mouth, Luo Jun would scold him until he didn't want to live anymore.

Qin Huai, on the roller coaster, had no idea of what was happening below. He only felt the wind howling by his ears, and the sensation of weightlessness was very relaxing and enjoyable.

What Shi Dadan said wasn't wrong. Indeed, Qin Huai hasn't been quite right these days, and Qin Huai himself was very aware of it.

Ever since yeast rose to Master Level, Qin Huai has been in a very peculiar mental state. Previously, whenever Qin Huai practiced making snacks, he had a very clear purpose—be it making snacks that Luoluo wanted, or completing the spirit's side missions, Qin Huai always had a clear direction and goal.

Qin Huai always thought this was great.

Back when he was at Sanmalu Children's Welfare Institute, Director Qin used to teach the kids in the orphanage that having goals is crucial, one must determine their aspirations and strive towards them, not to abandon themselves.

Of course, when Director Qin said those things back then, it was primarily to get the kids to listen, study hard, even though he didn't expect them to become useful to society or return triumphantly to repay the welfare institute in later years. At the very least, they shouldn't shame the orphanage.

Director Qin didn't want to hear news of former welfare institute graduates ending up in jail when he was old, nor did he want to hear people gossiping, "Oh, kids from that orphanage are hopeless; no one's there to watch over them."

That would be an insult to Director Qin's career.

Unlike most children with great dreams of becoming scientists, astronauts, teachers, doctors, or lawyers, Qin Huai's ambition since childhood was to open a Breakfast Shop next to Sanmalu Children's Welfare Institute, selling buns at cost to the orphanage, preventing the future children of the orphanage from eating Director Qin's terrible cooking.

Qin Huai achieved this dream after being adopted by Qin Congwen and his wife.

Qin Huai always achieves the goals he sets quickly.

Whether it's the snacks Luoluo wants to eat or the spirit's relevant tasks, they're all accomplished over a brief span when calculating the timeframe. Qin Huai rarely spends excessive time and energy on any snack, resulting in a habit of liking new things and disliking old ones. As soon as a minor goal is conquered, he loses all interest in the snack; many snacks he learns to make and then never makes again, some he even forgets he could make after a long time.

The exception is locust flower buns.

Locust flower buns were something he once conquered but didn't fully master, and now he's picking them up again.

Qin Huai feels locust flower buns are different.

He doesn't actually want to make locust flower buns S-Class in a short time to produce buffs. This is primarily because Qin Huai is aware of his own abilities; he has a rough sense of his own power.

Making locust flower buns S-Class in a short time…

Dreaming doesn't go like that.

It's not yet the time to practice making locust flower buns; according to the normal story flow, Qin Huai should be focusing on potato dumplings now, completing Wang Gen Sheng's side mission, then recall the recipe.

If luck's good, discovering a recipe well-suited to Qin Huai's current skills at A+ Level or below and directly making the snack A+ Level to best finish the main task would be ideal. If not, Qin Huai's mission post-potato dumplings would be to find a suitable snack and work hard to make it A+ Level to complete the main task.

Considering Qin Huai is a system-driven narrative protagonist, normally as long as the author doesn't want to forcibly pad the plot and word count, it'd develop along the earlier mentioned scenario.

No matter how you see it, locust flower buns shouldn't be the current plot point; an S-Class bun should clearly be the final boss to conquer.

Yet Qin Huai now really likes this final boss.

A purposeful-free liking; Qin Huai simply wants to make and practice locust flower buns purely for love. This liking isn't from the professional fondness of making buns and snacks as a breakfast chef when he was at the Breakfast Shop earlier. Regarding locust flower buns, Qin Huai is purely, without any objective, without setting any goal, in love with them.

It's that kind of feeling as if he and locust flower buns were destined in a past life, finally reuniting in this life after twists and turns.

This fondness carries no utilitarian motive; previously, whenever Qin Huai made snacks, he would more or less aim to conquer them or hope for them to reach some level. But when making locust flower buns, Qin Huai never thought about making this batch of buns S-Grade or hoping for them to become S-Class.

Just making locust flower buns brings Qin Huai great joy.

The kind of joy that makes him hum little tunes.

Qin Huai knows his current status has been off in these few days, but he also feels that this wrongness is actually the right thing. Previously, he was in a state feeling clear yet somewhat bewildered, and while on the roller coaster felt like the mist seemed to be blown away a bit by the wind beside his ears.
