The mechanical contraction sound of "squeak" echoed as the camera focused on Lin, who lifted his white apron with one hand and slowly walked towards Fatty.
With a crisp sound, a beam of light illuminated the area around Lin, dispelling the darkness and creating a makeshift spotlight, as if it were a stage, with Lin as the star of the show!
Lin glanced sideways at Fatty, who was leaning against the light barrier, grinning mischievously at him. This was Fatty's way of controlling the atmosphere, always able to elevate it to another level.
Shaking his head, Lin Shen took a deep breath and quickened his pace to the table, picking up the Sea Bowl that Fatty had finished.
"Cool Summer Noodles with Fried Sauce," he began, "is inspired by cold noodles. The heat of summer is something many people dislike; in fact, many lose their appetite during this time. To ensure everyone can enjoy a dish that cools them down while still being filling, I came up with Cool Summer Noodles with Fried Sauce."
Lin Yi explained earnestly, his tone flat and emotionless, making it feel like a lecture. Listening to him felt like sitting in class, which commanded respect for both Lin and the Cool Summer Noodles.
However, Lin paid little attention to the audience; he rarely looked at what the viewers were saying. His focus was solely on his own intentions.
This lack of interaction was part of why Fatty existed as an auxiliary streamer—one to showcase skills and the other to manage the atmosphere.
Some might wonder if Lin would ever learn to interact. Could he really not pick up on that?
In truth, he couldn't. Cooking required his full concentration; he wasn't much of a talker and often remained silent. Sometimes Fatty would explain things beside him. His personality was cold; when he spoke, it could chill the atmosphere like ice—just like now, where things felt awkward.
Lin turned the Blue and White Porcelain bowl in his hands, as if there were another serving of fresh Cool Summer Noodles with Fried Sauce inside. A soft light shone in his eyes as his fingers gently traced the edge.
"The characteristic of Cool Summer Noodles is 'cool,' which is key. Whether it's the noodles or the sauce, I can only bring them to a certain level. With my current skills, it's challenging to improve further..."
At this point, Lin sighed; this was his current frustration. To elevate his culinary creations further, he needed to continue exploring and advancing in martial arts, which required his personal growth to become an Interstellar Warrior.
However, Lin's current physical condition... was a difficult issue for him. There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes. For the Interstellar Warrior and even the nearby Poverty Old Man, it was an easy step in their lives, but for Lin, it was his greatest challenge at the moment.
This thought flashed through Lin's mind briefly. He reorganized his emotions, and his face returned to its usual flat and expressionless state, the earlier melancholy vanishing in an instant.
"So, I choose to modify the Cool Summer Noodles with seasonings. First is the choice of noodles—Noodles with Fried Sauce—which can be divided into two parts: whether it tastes good depends half on the noodles and half on the sauce."
"For the noodle selection, I believe that what Cool Summer Noodles need first is chewiness. I can achieve this through the Bone-Softening Palm technique. The other requirement is water absorption, which allows it to encapsulate the Ice Mint's moisture... Wheat flour cannot achieve this, nor can barley... Only by adding sweet potato flour can it become what I want—chewy and adhesive!"
"Just don't try it lightly; I won't easily reveal the noodle ratio because it's not the right time yet. You all would find it difficult to replicate; without Bone-Softening Palm, everything is just talk."
As soon as Lin finished speaking, some new visitors couldn't help but voice their complaints softly.
...
"Bro, how can you do this? Is this really a secret recipe?"
"Come on! Bro, let me try! I'm quite skilled; maybe I can make it!"
"Bro, I want to make it myself..."
Dozens of comments rolled by, all from those who couldn't get Cool Summer Noodles and were eager to try making them themselves. The allure of Cool Summer Noodles was simply too great for them!
Of course, there was also a group of Lin's supporters who shouted that this noodle recipe was Lin's secret formula and should not be shared with them!
...
Lin merely glanced at the screen and smiled dismissively; he intended to continue his explanation.
However, Fatty was not going to do that. He disregarded everything; this was not something a Streamer should do. Fatty cleared his throat to attract Lin's attention and signaled him to explain.
Lin glanced at Fatty helplessly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
A month ago, Fatty had taught him how to warm up the audience, but Lin was always reluctant to learn. He believed that with Fatty around, he only needed to focus on cooking.
Fatty, however, thought differently. Eventually, he would have to part ways with Lin because their paths were diverging. Fatty aimed to become an Interstellar Warrior, while Lin had no hope of venturing into the Endless Star Sea...
Fatty didn't want his departure to have too great an impact on Lin. His good friend had finally found a job, and he couldn't let his own choices ruin Lin's opportunity.
So, Fatty was teaching Lin to become a proper Streamer. That would be enough; his skills could make up for any shortcomings.
Lin Ye understood Fatty's intentions. He pursed his lips and furrowed his brow as he began to explain.
"It's not that I don't want to tell everyone; it's just that you can't do it. The technique of the Bone-Softening Palm is very Special. Within what seems like a soft and powerless palm technique lies explosive energy. It requires multiple strikes to remove the softness from the sweet potato flour..."
After a pause, Lin You frowned, realizing that this explanation was somewhat clumsy. He quickly changed his approach: "Part of it is also because I think this dish is not perfect and doesn't deserve to be presented. How about this? I'll reveal the secret sauce recipe for the Cool Summer Noodles, because this sauce is good enough for you all to try making it."
Changing the subject was one of the most basic things Fatty had taught him: if you don't want to discuss something, find a more appealing topic to cover it up. Although it was somewhat awkwardly executed, at least he managed to do it.
In terms of culinary skills, Lin was talented, and his mind was sharp enough. However, due to his unusual life in two worlds, he had become quite reclusive. In dealing with people, he acted like a child who still needed time to hone his skills.
Lin turned to the kitchen to get the sauce. As the screen showed his departing figure, the Live Streaming chat exploded with excitement, and the comments rolled in like waves!
...
"Bro is going to reveal the sauce! Wait, that's my secret recipe! Even Fatty never gets much of it!"
"Brother! Awesome! Those selfish guys, open your eyes and take a look!"
"I'm sorry! I wrongly accused you earlier!"
"I want to use your secret recipe to open a noodle shop, everyone come eat when the time comes."
The barrage of comments rolled by wildly, and everyone became excited, revealing sauces that boosted Lin's popularity even further. Many viewers who had been watching for three months were moved by Lin's great gesture and became fans.
For Lin, the sauce might seem trivial; it was just one sauce, and he could always research more. But for these viewers, it was the ultimate treasure!
Riding on this crazy atmosphere, many people began to send Hero Coins!
【Ding! Old Master sent Chef Lin Hero Coins0】
【Ding! Moe Girl sent one to Chef Lin Hero Coins1】
……
This time, not many people sent gifts, but those who did sent a lot at once. During this Live Streaming, the big Tycoons were the ones sending gifts; they didn't care about the money!
The cheerful dinging sound rang in Fatty's ears. Unable to contain himself, he leaned in front of the Camera and began smilingly thanking everyone, his body shaking with laughter.
When Lin returned, he was stunned by the scene. After more than a minute of this, he checked his stats and saw he had earned over two thousand more; now his Hero Coins had reached 5094.
Lin's hand trembled, nearly dropping the porcelain jar on the ground. In the blink of an eye, he had made over a million? No wonder Live Streaming was so profitable; it was faster than stealing! It felt like robbing a bank!
Forcing himself to contain his excitement, Lin straightened his face, but this time a joyful smile appeared at the corners of his mouth as he walked up to the Camera.
"Thank you all for the Hero Coins. This is the sauce for the Cool Summer Noodles. I will now explain how to make this sauce."
This was the first time Lin expressed such heartfelt gratitude. The gifts he received were substantial amounts of money, which served as an accelerator for his journey ahead.
Without any hesitation, Lin explained the process of making the sauce in detail, from start to finish.
On the other side of the screen, every viewer began frantically recording Lin's words—every term, every syllable, even the pauses. While taking notes, they also recorded videos... This was invaluable, enough to allow them to enjoy good food for a lifetime.
"The reason Cool Summer Noodles bursts with a Refreshing sensation after entering your mouth is that I added Frostroot... This is a substance from Kaiyuan Planet that can dispel heat. When used lightly, it poses little danger, but it should not be used in large quantities, as it can be life-threatening to ordinary people. You can adjust it according to your taste."
"I also added plum powder to the sauce to give it a slightly sweet and sour flavor. This taste is very appetizing and will encourage noodle eaters to finish their bowl more quickly, ensuring that within three to ten minutes after finishing a bowl of noodles, the cooling sensation of Frostroot will burst forth!"
Such meticulous thought even accounted for each person's noodle-eating speed; this is what a top chef should think like.
No wonder no one on Earth could surpass Lin. He was not just a pure chef; he was also an ecological observer. The ideas behind his dishes were comprehensive. Once you started eating Lin's creations, you fell into his "culinary trap"!
A saying has circulated through later generations: if you don't want your meals to feel like imprisonment in this lifetime, then don't eat Lin's food.
After tasting what he made, you would feel that all other dishes in the world are mere dog food!
You shouldn't even smell or look at what he creates; otherwise, you will fall into the culinary trap he designed for you, becoming ensnared in his dishes and unable to extricate yourself—obsessed for a lifetime...
