Butler

Chen Miemie returned to the shop and placed Water Gaze into the fish tank in the living room.

With the arrival of the new inhabitant, the fish tank immediately took on a different look.

Water Gaze pulled aside the water curtain and kept sizing up its new home with its beautiful big eyes.

Pure Water was also very happy.

Chen Miemie didn't quite understand what made Pure Water so happy. Did having another water - related strange being in its body make it regain the feeling of "being a large expanse of water"?

"Alright, from now on, I'll just call you Water Gaze. I have something to do this afternoon and need to go out. You stay well at home. I'll give you an official status when I come back tonight."

"Okay, leave the home to me." Water Gaze quickly adapted to the new environment.

When it closed its eyes, the water curtain fell, and the fish tank became a clear expanse of water again, seemingly empty.

Chen Miemie soon went out again. This time he came back mainly to settle Water Gaze down.

At exactly 13:00 noon.

At the usual place, Wanmin Restaurant.

This time, Chen Miemie was the host, and the guest was Yi Xian.

"Master Chen Miemie, you're so amazing." Yi Xian still remembered the battle this morning vividly. Although she couldn't see, her brother acted as a commentator for her.

This morning in that villa, Chen Miemie didn't greet Yi Zhu and Yi Xian.

At that time, they were on different sides. The Yi siblings were still new members in the [Burger Workshop] and had no say, so they simply pretended not to know each other.

"Why are you still calling me 'Master'? It makes us seem so distant. What else would you like to eat? Order two more dishes."

Yi Xian waved her hands repeatedly: "No need to add any more."

"By the way, Yi Xian, it seems that your association has a close relationship with food. There's 'hamburger' in its name, and your president's ability is also related to cooking."

"Yes, about half of the members in our association are related to 'eating and drinking'. My brother joined because of this."

"What about you? Your [Mystery] has nothing to do with 'eating and drinking', right?"

"Right. My ability is [Absolute Memory]. I can immediately remember what I see, hear, and smell, and never forget it."

"Then why did you join the [Burger Workshop]?"

"Me? It wasn't that I chose the [Burger Workshop]. It was that only the [Burger Workshop] was willing to take me in.

My ability is not very powerful and is not irreplaceable. After the graduation exam, I lost my sight, which made my ability half - useless. In terms of [Mystery] level, I'm a burden to the association.

If it weren't for my brother strongly requesting to take me with him when he joined the association, and our father used to be a member of this association, I probably wouldn't have been able to get in. Even if I managed to get into other associations, I might only be a peripheral member."

Chen Miemie nodded. This explanation was quite reasonable.

Once you join an association, it's a lifetime commitment, and this lifetime system is two - way.

For an individual, it is indeed a certain restriction. For an association, recruiting a permanent burden really requires careful consideration. You know, a lot of resources are evenly distributed among the association members.

"Where is your home address?"

"Now my brother and I live in the association. Before, it was No. 50, Nuanyu Road."

Chen Miemie's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, it was No. 50, Nuanyu Road.

This was the address left by Ms. Dujuan last night.

Seeing that the conversation atmosphere was getting heavier, Chen Miemie suddenly changed the topic and turned it to Yi Zhu.

"Let's get back to your brother, Yi Zhu. You said he lost his sense of sweet taste, and the last time he tasted something sweet was the braised pork ribs made by your mother when she was still alive, right?"

"Yes."

"And after that, how did he react when he ate braised pork ribs again?"

Yi Xian lowered her head and thought for a while: "There was no sweet taste. I remember he always said, 'It doesn't taste like what Mom made'."

"In your opinion, is it a psychological effect, or is the taste your mother made really different?"

"Really different.

Although my mother was not a Mystic, she went to school and had the prototype of a mystery.

I heard that she met my father at a cooking exchange event. The dishes she made were extremely delicious."

"What was the specific prototype of her mystery?"

"I remember it was something like being able to conjure honey."

"What! That means her ability was related to'sweet'. What she was good at, after her death, your brother just lost the sense of taste in the relevant field?"

"I'm not very sure if it's like this." Yi Xian couldn't answer.

"Okay, then let's change the topic. How is the relationship between Yi Zhu and your father?"

"When he was a child, my brother admired our father very much because our father's [Mystery] was also related to 'eating'. Since our mother passed away, especially after our father remarried, he rarely went home, and they would quarrel when they met."

"How did your father die?"

"From overwork."

"Can a Mystic of level 4 [Mystery] die from overwork?"

"Yes. Some [Mysteries] have a price. When my father used his ability, the price was double or even triple the consumption of physical strength. Long - term physical over - exhaustion made him very weak."

"Does your family have any debts? Why did your father need to work so hard?"

Normally, a Mystic of level 4, even a pure auxiliary one, doesn't need to work desperately to support the family. Mystics are already among the elite, and they don't have such a hard time making a living.

"I'm not sure about this."

It was not easy to have such an in - depth conversation. Chen Miemie didn't hold back at all and asked all the questions he wanted to know.

By the time they finished this meal, it was already 15:00.

"Alright, Yi Xian, thank you for telling me these private things. I'll do my best."

"I should be the one to thank you. Thank you for your concern."

After leaving Wanmin Restaurant, Chen Miemie soon came to a nearby tea house.

At 15:30, he had another conversation with Yi Zhu arranged.

He had only arranged these two meetings this afternoon.

He wanted to learn about Yi Zhu from Yi Xian, and then learn about Yi Xian from Yi Zhu.

Chen Miemie arrived a little early.

This tea house was a two - story building with a rooftop.

Chen Miemie chose a private seat on the rooftop where he could see the street.

From afar, he saw Yi Zhu walking towards the tea house with a man in a tailcoat.

Due to the special angle, Chen Miemie could see them, but they didn't see him.

When they reached the door of the tea house, the man in the tailcoat parted ways with Yi Zhu, didn't enter the tea house, and left alone.

Soon, Yi Zhu went upstairs.

"Sorry, Brother Miemie, I'm late."

Chen Miemie greeted him with a smile: "You're not late. I came a bit early. Who was that man you were with just now? Why didn't he come in and sit down?"

Yi Zhu scratched his head: "We just walked part of the way together. He's my teacher in the association, with the code name [Butler]."
