(Am I going to be tied to the lab table by Dr. Mobius someday?)
Elysia felt that something was wrong when she saw Mobius's somber expression.
In the past, when Mobius said she wanted to "tie her to the experimental bench," this actually translated to "don't bother me, just go and have fun by yourself."
Translating the current expression on Mobius's face now, it is...
You're dead!
What the heck is this doll?!
Elysia was already regretting choosing this doll on a whim, even though she just wanted to use it to cause a stir.
But there was nothing she could do; in Mobius's office, there wasn't much that could impress her.
"Um... since everyone... if everyone agrees, then, let's start now?"
Klein: "???"
No, no, no!
I don't agree!
I smell the breath of death in this so-called competition!
If it was about the so-called cooking as Dr. MEI did, Klein thinks she could eat it without any pressure.
But Elysia's random cooking contest this time... pass!
Dr. Mobius used to follow other people's videos, and just by feeling that she put a little more or less material, she could make it look like that.
If there is no video to play freely...
"Doctor."
Seeing the pink-haired culprit who had already fled, Miss Klein's expression hardened a little.
"Well, I shouldn't die, right?"
"Death?
What a good idea!
As long as the food I cook poisons everyone else, I'll be the winner, right?"
Mobius gave a rather terrifying smile.
If you could poison Elysia to death, you would be amazing... Tian Shi curled the corner of his mouth.
Although Elysia looked like she was dying when she tried the food before, to be honest, even if Mobius's amount was increased a hundred times, it would not be enough to poison Elysia to death.
Well... at most, her stomach would turn every time she saw Mobius in this lifetime.
"..."
Klein remained in complete silence.
Being poisoned by food is a terrible way to die!
She could accept working overtime until she died, but she absolutely could not accept being poisoned by food!
—Just like no one can accept the shame of being killed by a white furry bunny!
"Remember to finish your overtime and come back to be the food taster. "
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to make sure you survive."
"..."
This kind of guarantee doesn't seem reliable at all.
No, it must be said that it is a completely different kind of death notice, right?
Klein left the office in silence while lamenting her future.
Well, then go back to working overtime.
After everyone left, Mobius looked at MEI with a sullen expression.
"MEI... do you have anything to say now?"
When there was no stranger around, Mobius's expression immediately turned cold.
"What do you mean?"
MEI rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment.
"The doctor is mine, right?"
"Do you want to die?"
Mobius stared at MEI fiercely.
"No, I want to win the puppet."
MEI stated the facts with a deadpan expression, but that only made Mobius even angrier.
—MEI... Get out of here!
Don't enter my office without my permission!
"You two... is it that serious?"
Tian Shi once again possessed the puppet, holding his forehead and looking at the two people speechlessly.
"You two have managed to make me understand what fake sisterhood is."
The ship of friendship can capsize at any time.
"No, doctor, allow me to correct you.
Dr. Mobius, who is twelve years older than me, can be considered my aunt in many ways."
Mobius: "..."
MEI's words immediately made Mobius burst out with murderous intentions.
It would be better to kill them.
During the cooking competition, we can purposely cause a violent explosion and kill all these bitches.
"Let me save some trouble."
Tian Shi said weakly.
"By the way, MEI, you're not going to ask your big sister to come, are you?"
"Big sister Hua... of course not."
She wasn't stupid.
Her big sister, Hua, whom she had never met, was someone whom even Mobius feared.
Luckily, she wasn't present.
MEI would only be stupid enough to look for such a strong competitor if she were kicked by a donkey.
But then again, if you want to learn cooking skills quickly and without cheating... if you lack talent, you can only ask a famous teacher to fill the gap.
And just as Tian Shi said before, this big sister of hers is undoubtedly a master in the kitchen.
As long as she asks for advice as a younger sister, the other party will surely not refuse, and she can also use this opportunity to get to know her "ordinary" big sister; of course, this part of the competition must be hidden.
"I'll go back and prepare first."
MEI left with a deadpan expression after planning the next step.
Do you really have so much confidence?
I don't know how good Elysia's cooking skills are, but no matter how bad they are, they are still at the level of a common person.
Mobius curled her lips and said.
"No, I should say that she looks like someone who is suitable for making the so-called 'love bento'."
"No, Dr. Mobius, I don't need to beat Miss Elysia.
I just need to beat you."
MEI had already noticed that Elysia wasn't very interested in the Soul Steel Puppet.
Maybe the other party just wants to start a discussion?
But unfortunately, the other party directly chose the real jade.
To some extent, Miss Elysia is very lucky, or maybe girls who love to laugh are always lucky?
However, in her opinion, the probability of the other party taking the competition seriously is not high.
After all, after realizing that she has inexplicably chosen an unexpectedly important prize, she might deliberately let it go or even use the half-assed option out of survival instinct.
After all, there was no doubt that the murderous look in Mobius's eyes before was genuine.
"Ha...?! "
Angry!
Mobius is furious!
"MEI! "
"What do you mean by that?"
However, when Mobius reacted, MEI had already gone far away.
"Well, Mobius, I think this..."
Tian Shi, who was next to her, was forcibly transferred before he could finish his words.
"..."
This situation is already a blow to Mobius.
(No, I must win... A simple MEI... a little girl who hasn't even grown all her hair, you want to steal my man?)
Of course, saying that she would poison everyone else to death was just a joke.
If she could win, she would certainly try.
And if she couldn't win... then she would wait until they couldn't win.
But, consequently, Mobius also knows her own level.
"The only person around me who is good at cooking... seems to be Hua, right?"
Due to the limitations of female scientists' interpersonal relationships, Mobius couldn't find another person with good cooking skills besides Hua; it's difficult to find female scientists in the home economics department.
But that chick is also a potential competitor...
No, it must be said that it is because the other party is a competitor, so there is no psychological burden in using her.
And didn't Hua give her this doll?
Even if the secret is not kept a secret, the safety of the matter is guaranteed.
Thinking of this, Mobius immediately called Hua.
"Doctor, what kind of person is Sister Hua?"
MEI asked softly after finding her room asking for directions.
"Didn't I tell you that she has a very good personality?
She's probably a lot like me."
Although it was repetitive, Tian Shi gave an evaluation that surprised MEI a little.
"Very similar to you... for example?"
Tian Shi had never given her that kind of evaluation before.
"It's probably due to her temperament and her values.
Like me, she has a gentle character and her values are normal.
Apart from being a little rigid, Hua is, as Mobius said, a 'very ordinary person'."
Tian Shi also chuckled.
In fact, he and Hua have temperaments that are not easily angered, and their personalities are very compatible, except for the rigidity.
Tian Shi doesn't need to worry about almost anything.
As for her worldview... it's impossible to cultivate the normal perspective of an ordinary person like Hua around him, so he definitely won't be able to complain.
In reality, MEI is quite similar to Hua in many aspects, but the difference is that Hua is with Mobius and Tian Shi only needs to complain about Mobius.
MEI and Mobius are together, and Tian Shi needs to complain.
But, then again, Mobius might really be facing the same crisis of being a single woman as Planck.
Tian Shi felt that every time he was present, Mobius's intelligence would be greatly reduced.
But fortunately, at least it didn't get to the point where she was like Planck who tells dirty jokes while talking.
Well, Mobius is in the early stage of the single women's crisis, while Planck's single women's crisis is probably too late to be solved.
"Well, in that case, I'll email Sister Hua first."
Tian Shi has Hua's email and mobile phone number.
MEI first decided to use email to make a polite introduction to test the other party's attitude.
Soon, MEI received a reply from Hua, written in an ancient but kind tone.
Although written texts cannot fully reveal the other person's personality, they can at least confirm some things.
After receiving the reply, MEI immediately made a video call to Hua without any worry.
—The other party seemed to have been waiting, so when MEI called, the call was answered almost immediately.
Soon a "normal" girl appeared on the screen.
—MEI couldn't find any particularly bright points in the other person, but she also couldn't see any obvious flaws.
So much so that MEI couldn't even find a very appropriate word to describe her big sister.
Well, if I really want to say it, is her chest relatively flat?
Maybe because of what Mobius had said before, MEI subconsciously looked at her big sister's chest.
"Good afternoon, big sister Hua."
"Um... Good afternoon, little sister."
Compared to MEI's deadpan greeting, Hua's attitude was a little more reserved.
"I'm sorry, it's the first time I've been called a big sister... or rather, before today, I never thought that one day I would become someone's big sister."
She really is a sister who speaks very well.
A single sentence made MEI make such a judgment.
"By the way, is Master Tian Shi doing well now?"
"Well, the Doctor has been fine.
Or rather, even if he wasn't well, I couldn't see him."
"Little sister, your statement is too realistic."
Hua touched her nose, trying to hide the bitter smile on her face.
That being said, from this perspective, MEI is actually much more old-fashioned than Hua, although what MEI did before was not old-fashioned at all.
"But the title of Doctor... also sounds interesting."
Obviously, Hua didn't know what to say to her little sister who had suddenly appeared.
After all, interpersonal communication is not Hua's strong suit, and the younger sister in front of her seemed a little deadpan, so Hua didn't know what to say; in fact, Hua and MEI were exactly the same in terms of not being good at interpersonal communication.
If they really start talking to each other, who knows how far these two socially awkward girls will go before they get to the point.
Soon, Hua realized the problem and decided to get straight to the point: it was also the big sister's job to prevent her little sister from falling into embarrassment.
"Speaking of that, little sister, do you have something to tell me today? Or does the teacher have a task for me?"
"I have some things I want to ask you, big sister."
MEI nodded and the two successfully continued their conversation.
"I heard from the Doctor that you are a very good cook?"
"A cook?"
Hua asked with a brief surprise, and then a little embarrassed she answered.
"It's just a skill that doesn't deserve praise, I really don't deserve Master Tian's praise."
"..."
MEI was silent after hearing this.
She knew her teacher's personality.
In essence, he was serious.
Since he praised her big sister, her cooking skills must be good, even excellent.
It's hard to be humble like that...
"But speaking of that, little sister, is there something that makes you suddenly want to learn how to cook?
Didn't you say in your email that you are now a scientist at the headquarters?"
"Well... because I no longer want to bother the Doctor to cook for me."
MEI gave a flawless answer.
"I heard that you are a very good cook and I want to learn from you."
"In that case..."
Hua thought for a moment, then nodded and said.
"Okay, after all, it's not appropriate to keep bothering Master Tian to cook."
I haven't eaten the food cooked by Master Tian yet.
Hua couldn't help but sigh, but she didn't envy MEI at all.
After all, it wasn't that big of a deal.
She just felt a little regret.
Besides, even if Tian Shi really wanted to cook for her, she would definitely refuse; if she were young, it would be fine, but now she is a little older, how can she have the courage to see Master Tian cook for her?
"Well... if that's the case, then let's start now, little sister MEI, just prepare a random dish."
"Yes, big sister."
After turning off the phone, Hua frowned.
Is nothing wrong?
So, why did Dr. Mobius and my little sister come to learn how to cook today?
