Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

Zhang Chunliang did not refuse Big Bone's kindness. Under the cover of the dining car, he secretly ate the meat from the belly of the small fish.

This time, the mermaid bone still took back the remnants of the small fish and absorbed it into its body.

Zhang Chunliang's health points once again became 100. His stomach was not full, but he inexplicably lost interest in the food in the banquet hall, and even felt a little resistance.

"Thank you..." Zhang Chunliang whispered, "But I think you'd better leave first. It's still too dangerous here... It's easy to..."

The mermaid bone tilted its head slightly, looking confused. It seemed that it didn't understand what Zhang Chunliang was saying. It picked up a beautiful shell from the fish tank and put it in Zhang Chunliang's hand.

The shell had no flesh. Zhang Chunliang turned it over and over, and felt that its appearance was delicate and beautiful, a bit like a natural glass work of art. He was a little confused about the big bone's intention.

Seeing it curled up under the dining car with difficulty, "looking" at him eagerly, Zhang Chunliang's heart moved and he had a strange guess.

This guy must be "bribing" him, using a piece of his favorite beautiful shell to please him in an attempt not to be driven away...

Zhang Chunliang had a strange expression on his face, and he didn't continue to drive it away. He had been squatting for a long time, and was worried that someone would notice something was wrong, so he simply stood up.

I had just stood there for a while when there was movement at the door of the banquet hall.

An elegant and tall middle-aged man led a group of men and women with extraordinary temperament and elegant clothes, talking and laughing, into the banquet hall.

"These are fresh ingredients caught by our professional fishermen in the sea." The middle-aged man introduced with a smile, "In order to prevent some customers from not being used to the food, we will also transport fresh supplies from land and air every day. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

This middle-aged man is obviously the captain of the "Carnival Siren".

"Captain, you are too modest." A lady with a graceful figure and bright red lips nodded slightly. "This is a trip that surprises me. You are so thoughtful."

The captain shook his head slightly. "I feel very guilty for bringing only these superficial things for you to enjoy. Fortunately, I have invited a very famous magic troupe. I hope their performance will make you feel comfortable and happy."

The captain's tone was sincere and elegant, and his choice of words and sentences was flowery, with a sense of "upper class" elegance. Zhang Chunliang was too far away from him and could not hear clearly what he was saying.

After a while, a crew member came up to him and whispered, "The captain has ordered that during the banquet, we will take turns on duty. Those who are free can go to the second floor to enjoy refreshments and watch the magic show with the nobles."

Zhang Chunliang showed an expression of being flattered: "He is so kind."

"Who said he wasn't?" The crew member said with some pride, "He is a humane nobleman. Do you want to go up and take a rest now?"

"No need..." Zhang Chunliang quickly refused, "I'm not tired yet."

There was a big bone under the feet of the two men that was unwilling to be lonely. If he didn't keep an eye on it and the big bone was discovered, the banquet would definitely become a mess. He didn't want to cause any trouble.

The crewman shrugged and went upstairs first.

I heard that the snacks this time are all high-quality delicacies airlifted in from high-end dim sum restaurants, and a good meal here is worth half a month's wages for them. It would be a shame not to go.

After all the guests were seated, the chefs began to serve the crew members in an orderly manner.

The uncle was still afraid that his clumsy and stupid nephew would cause trouble, so he asked him to be responsible for arranging and decorating the food on the dining car.

The elegant food presentation is also a stimulant that makes the guests pleasing to the eye and increases their appetite. The crew members have received professional training on these contents before boarding the ship.

But... Zhang Chunliang didn't.

He calmly placed a few flowers made of sashimi on the crushed ice, trying to make it look like a passionate bouquet.

“Believe me, if you put the dish like this in front of the guests, they will definitely be disgusted and want to vomit.” The crew member in charge of serving the dishes had a livid face. “I’ll give you ten minutes to prepare. You’d better re-arrange the dish. I don’t want to be hung on the cabin with you and be whipped by the chef.”

Zhang Chunliang's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at the gaudy fish petals in front of him, at a loss as to what to do.

To be honest, he had no talent for art or aesthetics since he was a child. He could only draw tattoos according to tattoo patterns. However, he couldn't arrange food to look like tattoos...

It seems that he can only buy a plating tutorial in the mall and learn it on the spot.

By the way, in terms of aesthetics, all his friends think Shen Xingyi is amazing. He even seems to have won some international award in a flower arrangement competition...

If only he could find him now, this guy would definitely be able to help him do it quickly and well.

Zhang Chunliang meticulously arranged a few dishes according to the tutorial. He felt quite satisfied with himself, so he looked up and wanted to compare the works of other crew members - those professionally trained guys were more creative than the other. They arranged the ingredients in all kinds of ways. One even used the ingredients to create a world famous painting.

They had received news long ago that the people who would appear at this banquet were either rich or noble. Whoever's work was liked by the nobles would definitely receive a substantial tip. What's more, some might even be hired as professional platter chefs for the nobles. At that time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they would rise to the top overnight.

Zhang Chunliang looked at his beautiful but mediocre work and felt a headache for a moment - he now knew that his mean uncle was really trying to benefit him. Plating a dish must be the promotion opportunity that every crew member dreams of, but now, his uncle's good intentions were about to be ruined by his poor performance.

Suddenly, Zhang Chunliang felt an itch on his calves.

He lowered his head and saw the tip of a tailbone rubbing against him stealthily.

So he squatted down curiously, wanting to see what the mermaid bones were going to do.

The tablecloth fluttered a few times, and then a shiny plate slid out. The ingredients on the plate were exquisite and beautiful, arranged in shape and color to look like a mermaid playing in the water.

"Oh oh oh!" Zhang Chunliang couldn't help but showed an expression of admiration.

This plating was simply a work of art. It used ingredients and side dishes to vividly depict the appearance and movements of the mermaid. Whether it was the fins, scales, or the transparent webbing between its fingers, they were all very similar to the one he had seen before.

He is indeed a professional fish talent!

"Great! You are truly an artistic fish." Zhang Chunliang knew that Dagutou wanted to help him, so he praised him generously. "This is definitely the most dazzling fish on the table. No one would be willing to eat it."

The mermaid bones were praised so much that they twisted around excitedly, and the dining car began to shake uncontrollably, which scared Zhang Chunliang.

He hurried to appease the good mermaid and refused its further help, and followed the script to lay out a few plates of standard food.

The waiter came over again and looked at the mermaid playing in the water in the middle of the dish with astonishment in his eyes. With the pearl in front of him, he no longer found fault with other mediocre food and pushed the dish away in the most conspicuous position.

Looking at his back as he left, Zhang Chunliang didn't feel very proud, and even hoped that no one would notice the dish.

Big Bone just wanted to help him, so he carefully figured out what a mermaid looked like - but Zhang Chunliang did not forget that the mermaid he met was locked in a swimming pool.

This shows that someone is secretly raising mermaids.

If the person who raised the mermaid was in the banquet hall at this moment, he would definitely be suspicious of the realistic mermaid pattern on the plate.

However, Zhang Chunliang still chose to bring it to the dining table.

Because the mermaid bone was kind-hearted, he didn't want to let it down.

Secondly, his character setting is to seek death, and the more dangerous the behavior, the more it fits his setting.

Under his feet, the mermaid bones quietly poked their heads out and were looking at him expectantly, as if waiting for his praise again.

Zhang Chunliang inadvertently lowered his head and saw a white skull hidden under the tablecloth, staring at him motionlessly.

This scene was actually very terrifying, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he strangely softened a little.

He looked around and found that the crew's attention was all on the banquet, so he quietly squatted down and touched its head.

He gritted his teeth, spent three points to buy a fresh pink rose (the cheapest kind) from the system store, and stuffed it under the tablecloth: "Thank you, you helped me a lot."

Mermaid Bone carefully held the flower, put it under his non-existent nose and sniffed it, then shrank back into the tablecloth with satisfaction.

The banquet officially started.

Along with the elegant music of the orchestra, the huge banquet table began to rotate slowly so that every dish could be fully appreciated. The nobles commented on the exquisite meals, and from time to time they whispered a few words to the nearby tables, revealing satisfied expressions.

People didn't intend to enjoy these expensive ingredients, they just needed a tool to start a conversation smoothly.

The meals that these chefs worked so hard and intrigued to prepare were just the beginning of their socializing.

During this process, from time to time someone would express their appreciation for the appearance of a dish, and then call over the crew member who prepared the dish and give him a large and generous reward.

It really makes people jealous - I have to say, looking at the lucky crew members' pockets full of jewels and money, Zhang Chunliang felt a little moved.

He began to subconsciously pay attention to his own work.

As expected, the vulgar and boring food he displayed was glanced at by everyone, and no one was willing to take a second look.

In fact, they are not bad, they just seem mediocre among other ingenious works.

——Except for the plate of mermaids playing in the water.

At this moment, it happened to rotate in front of the captain.

The smooth and sociable captain was chatting with the guests around him. He glanced to the side and happened to see the dish of "Mermaid Playing in the Water", so his voice was abruptly interrupted.

"Captain Will?" the female guest, who was in high spirits, asked, gently waving her fan. "You seem a little absent-minded."

Captain Will, who was always dignified and polite, lost his composure for the first time. He ignored the guest's questions and glanced at the dish with a gloomy look.

"Who did this?" he spoke slowly.

For a moment, all the guests felt a subtle tense emotion. They looked at each other in surprise, and then looked at the captain.

Zhang Chun's heart sank, and he suddenly had a sense of crisis.

"Who made this?" Captain Will asked again. He seemed to realize that he had lost his composure and put a smile on his face again. "It's really exquisitely made. It looks exactly like a real mermaid..."

Seeing that he could no longer play dumb, Zhang Chunliang stepped forward and admitted his identity.

"I did it."

His expression was confused and a little excited: "Captain, are you looking for me?"

For a moment, everyone in the banquet hall turned their eyes to this well-behaved and naive little boy.

"You made it? The mermaid?" The captain smiled, but his eyes showed no emotion. He looked at Zhang Chunliang for a moment and asked gently, "What an amazing kid! Where did you get the inspiration from?"
