Chapter 116 [Mom's Tablecloth]? No, it's an orphan killer!
"Hmm...is something wrong with this?" Chen Li looked at the strange object that he had spent a lot of effort forging, feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with his forging, but also feeling that there was nothing wrong.
[Mom's Tablecloth]: There's a kind of hunger that only your mom can make you feel hungry.
Effect: When anyone says "hungry" or a word that sounds like "hungry," the tablecloth will automatically activate and conjure up the perfect snacks and dishes that feel like they were made by your mother's own hands, full of love and care.
Side effect: All the food on the tablecloth must be eaten and not wasted, otherwise you will be punished by your mother.
P.S.: Never tell your mom you're hungry.
(Miracle: I must say, Master, you truly deserve to be a member of the Genius Club; you always manage to come up with some truly brilliant ideas that leave people speechless.)
Chen Li decided to take the miracle as a compliment to himself for now.
This tablecloth was the best solution that Chen Li came up with after exhausting all his ingenuity.
Chen Li cleverly used the principle of dry humor, coupled with the full force of his allocation ability, to successfully break down the term "calling Mom" into two meanings: "call your mom" and "your mom heard it."
As for Mom's punishment...
Okay, Chen Li admits that in order to save crystals, he deliberately left a small side effect.
Well, in a sense, this isn't really a side effect, because if your mother wants to punish you, you first need to have a mother.
Children without mothers probably don't need to worry about this issue.
laugh.
Chen Li actually felt that the fact that Möbius would conduct experiments on himself to verify the feasibility of the experiments on others made him seem a little more conscientious.
Chen Li also felt that this was indeed something worth learning, so as a craftsman specializing in rare artifacts, he was naturally the first to use this tablecloth.
"Let me see what my mom will make for me. Mom, I'm hungry," Chen Li said, shaking the tablecloth in front of him and spreading it on the dining table.
A golden light exploded on the tablecloth, blinding Chen Li, who was completely unprepared for this.
"Holy crap, the side effects didn't say it would flash golden light before meals," Chen Li said, covering his eyes with his head down.
Perhaps because the bond between Chen Li and his friends is too strong, Chen Li's vigilance against all kinds of unexpected events has decreased.
If it were Chen Li from a while ago, she definitely wouldn't have fallen for such a clumsy scheme.
However, Chen Li did not expect that the bond between him and his friends could not defend against the golden light.
Or rather, does this not count as an attack?
After Chen Li climbed out from under the table, it took him a while to realize that the previously empty tablecloth was now covered with delicious food.
"Hmm... this is called gourmet food? What kind of weird stuff is this?" Chen Li shook his head as he looked at the food on the tablecloth.
There wasn't any food on the tablecloth that looked like charcoal, like the food Chen Li's mother had just made for him, but the food itself wasn't very normal either.
Examples include the tentacles of a giant octopus that have only undergone simple cooking, stir-fried pebbles on a plate with scalding hot pebbles but no other food on them, Stargazing Pie made with herring from a can of herring... and West Lake Vinegar Fish?
In a sense, the fact that West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce can be served alongside these other dishes proves its status in the world of dark cuisine.
"Is there some mistake with this strange object? Are these things really suitable for me?" Chen Li was puzzled.
Is this tablecloth for real?
However, considering that this tablecloth was a top-tier beginner's item that he had created by spending 20 crystals and deliberately retaining a certain degree of negative effects, Chen Li still resisted the urge to flip the table and picked up a piece of stir-fried pebble.
But after Chen Li put the pebble in his mouth and chewed it gently, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hey, you know what, you really have to say. I don't know if it tastes good or not, but eating it can strengthen your body." Chen Li became excited as he felt his attribute points increase by 1.
Chen Li couldn't taste whether a dish was good or not, because even with West Lake Vinegar Fish, he could still taste the deliciousness of the vinegar.
What? You mean fish? Sorry, I didn't get to try any.
This is the effect of food cells; they make all food taste delicious.
However, Chen Li could clearly sense the degree to which an item enhanced him.
The food that this mother conjured from her tablecloth was all strange and unusual, but it was food that Chen Li had never eaten before.
Although it wasn't an extraordinary ingredient and didn't provide Chen Li with many enhancements, little by little, they added up.
The food-loving cells seem to match this mom's tablecloth quite well.
"But... can these things really be used to feed the Spring Spirit... no, the Herrscher of the Void?" Chen Li scratched his head.
Even if a human's physical abilities have already undergone a transformation the moment they become a Herrscher, and they are even able to physically travel into space, they probably still wouldn't be able to bite a stir-fried pebble, right?
With that thought in mind, Chen Li began to eat the food on the tablecloth.
Although there were indeed many dishes on the tablecloth, Chen Li's culinary skills had no limits.
And the only good thing about this tablecloth is that it only asks you not to waste food, but doesn't ask you how long you have to finish it.
However, considering that he was going to test the effects of the strange object, Chen Li picked up a piece of stir-fried pebble and casually threw it on the ground.
Let me see what kind of punishment Mom gave me!
Just as Chen Li was looking on expectantly, Li Changxi appeared in front of him. However, the phantom in front of him seemed to be a little older than Chen Li's mother.
"Hmm, very realistic. I'd like to see how you punish me." Chen Li crossed his arms, completely unfazed.
My WeChat Moments will shield me from any fatal attacks.
You can punish me all you want, but if I utter a sound, I'll admit defeat!
"Sigh, you've wasted food again, my child. But... Mom doesn't blame you. Mom only blames myself for not being a good cook and not being able to make the food you like. It's Mom's fault. But you don't need to worry about me anymore, because Mom is leaving. Getting lost in the secret realm is the fate of folklorists. But after your father and I leave you, you must live strong and never think of doing anything foolish..."
But to Chen Li's surprise, Li Changxi didn't pull Chen Li's ear or point at him... she just chatted with him like a chatterbox.
However, the more Chen Li listened to these words, the more uneasy he felt.
The more I listen, the more upset I get.
Hearing this, and looking into Li Changxi's gentle eyes, Chen Li vaguely saw his mother holding his father's hand, walking into the endless darkness and mist.
Chen Li suddenly felt that this might be his mother in some future where she was lost in a secret realm or time fog because of his powerlessness.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I will never waste food again." Chen Li immediately raised his hands in surrender.
Chen Li originally thought the punishment was physical, but it turned out to be mental.
Yes, that's right. Under Jing Liu's tutelage, Chen Li did indeed possess a passive ability called "Ancient Stillness and Waves".
[Ancient Mirror Without Waves]: As long as the mirror's core remains unbroken, its master is indestructible. Martial arts honed through countless deaths have given you an extreme tolerance for death. As long as your mind remains unbroken, you can fight to the point of complete physical destruction. In this state, you will lose your fatal weaknesses and be extremely immune to instant-death attacks and mental attacks.
But this was neither a psychological attack nor did it cause any physical harm.
Just a few simple daily instructions were enough to break Chen Li's defenses.
Only after seeing that Chen Li seemed genuinely repentant for wasting food did Li Changxi reveal a relieved smile, and her body transformed into countless points of light and dissipated.
For a moment, Chen Li felt as if his mother was truly saying goodbye to him...
"No, no, this strange object is affecting me. Damn! This is terrifying." Chen Li only came to his senses after the illusory figure disappeared.
This wondrous object, personally crafted by Chen Li, seems to possess a special magic when used for punishment, capable of immersing the user in its effects.
As a craftsman specializing in rare artifacts, Chen Li was only slightly affected by these artifacts. Yet, even so, they nearly broke his defenses. Chen Li couldn't even imagine the psychological impact on others if they wasted food while using this tablecloth.
too frightening.
"But... if you throw the tablecloth during a battle to make your opponent say they're hungry and waste their food, then the tablecloth seems to be a terrifying weapon against the enemy." Chen Li stroked his chin and began to ponder.
Sigh, everyone has a mother.
Moreover, if you really don't have a mother, the psychological trauma might be even greater.
If you don't have a mother, they'll create one for you, and then make your mother disappear...
Holy crap, how could this strange object be so wicked!
For example, if this tablecloth were given to the Herrscher of the Void, and the Herrscher of the Void accidentally wasted the food...
Chen Li could now picture the Herrscher of the Void clutching her head, her eyes vacant, constantly calling out Cecilia's name.
"What the hell is this 'Mom's Tablecloth'? Why not just call it 'Orphan Killer'?" Chen Li said, giving the tablecloth the middle finger while obediently finishing the other food on it.
"No, I can't be the only one who's having bad luck. I need to think about who has offended me..." After finishing all the food, Chen Li looked at the tablecloth in front of him and began to think about his enemies from childhood.
"Hmm...it seems none of my enemies have survived to this day, so never mind. I should give this tablecloth to Garden Lily, hopefully it will help me recover some losses." After folding the tablecloth, Chen Li handed it to Lily through Medusa, who acted as a guide.
Chen Li and Lily Bell did not establish a connection through the Oddity Forging Guide, but Medusa and Garden Lily Bell are in the same world, so having Medusa send the Oddity as a red envelope through her social circle would consume very little resources.
While you can't tear an oddity in half to pay for shipping on WeChat Moments, you can prevent it from being posted.
"I really need to upgrade the 'Friends Circle' item. But I have a lot of other items to craft lately... Oh, right. I almost forgot to tell Garden Lily Bell that when using this item, please, please, please don't waste food." Thinking of this, Chen Li quickly sent a message to Garden Lily Bell.
As a normal person who is just a little bit chuunibyou, Hanazono Yuri Rin shouldn't have any rebellious mentality, right?

Chapter 117 The "Don't Cry" Challenge on the Streets of Immortal Boat - Here Comes Gui Naifen!
"Holy crap, I earned 50 crystals right after submitting this artifact? What the hell? What did Garden Lily Bell do with this artifact?" When Chen Li ran to Kaguya Houraisan's room, wanting her to use the tablecloth, he found that his balance had instantly increased by 50 crystals, and in an instant, it had increased by 800 star stones.
