System, hurry up! Hand it over to the supermarket and hug the country's thigh

Lu Xi felt that it would be wise for her to stay away from the upcoming "Lu Xi family's first hot pot battle".

In order to avoid becoming an innocent "pond fish" and being splashed by the steaming hot pot oil that someone suddenly made. After all, she still understood the principle of "when the city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond will be affected".

My skin can't withstand the boiling hot oil.

So, Lu Xi moved the dishes reserved for herself to the place where the hot pot was placed, took a small bowl and started to mix her favorite dipping sauce from the pile of condiment dishes next to it.

Since these two people are going to compete, it’s already good enough that they can leave so much food for me. I’d better fill my stomach quickly.

Looking at the blooming hot pot soup, Lu Xi's chopsticks danced lightly in her hands. She picked up a piece of pink and transparent meat, dipped it in the pot for a few seconds, dipped it in a thin layer of sesame sauce, and then put it into her mouth to savor it carefully.

It is indeed an extraordinary fish, it is delicious.

At this moment, Lu Xi was completely immersed in the world of food, and the hustle and bustle and struggles of the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Anyway, her current attitude is to let the two of them play however they want, as long as they don't affect her.

"Cough cough cough~" A sudden cough, like a discordant note, interrupted Lu Xi's laughter while she was immersed in the variety show.

She looked up suddenly and saw the system bending over and patting its chest with a look of pain on its face. This sudden situation made her confused for a moment.

What the hell?

“Could it be…” Lu Xi muttered to herself, recalling what she had just thought of inadvertently - “luck and strength are useless in front of the divine beast”. She couldn’t help but wonder, could it be that the system is really so “lucky” and was “favored” by the chili peppers or Sichuan peppercorns in the hot pot?

Without having time to think too much, Lu Xi quickly stood up, walked to the system, patted him on the back with concern, trying to relieve his discomfort.

"No way, how could you, a high-tech product, be stumped by food?" Her tone contained both surprise and a hint of ridicule.

This is really surprising.

With the help of Long Ruilin, the system finally spit out the foreign object stuck in its throat - a large piece of chili tip - and then retorted: "I am a human being, just like everyone else, and I can also have accidents."

There was a hint of unwillingness in his somewhat helpless words.

I was eating well, but suddenly something stuck in my throat?

Lu Xi looked at the "culprit" on the table and shook her head helplessly, "Okay, okay, you are a human being, you are a human being. But I have never seen anyone get choked by chili peppers while eating hot pot."

After all, you don't have nothing better to do than eat the peppers in the hot pot.

After saying that, Lu Xi picked up a tissue and gently wiped the system's face, trying to remove the few tears that overflowed from coughing.

This phenomenon made Lu Xi once again marvel at the exquisite design of the system's body.

It is worthy of being an intelligent robot of the future. Even physiological reactions such as tears caused by other organs of the body are simulated so realistically.

It seems that the current system really possesses human emotions and vulnerabilities.

The system didn't seem to want to give up. He argued, "There are also people who were choked to death by pepper spray. There are so many accidents in this world."

This time it was totally an accident, an accident!!!

Lu Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this. She just happened to know about this matter, but it wasn't true.

She laughed and retorted: "Don't think I haven't seen it. It's just a plot in a TV series. And it's just what the protagonist thought. It didn't really happen."

The system actually reached the point of speaking without thinking. It seemed that it did not expect that it would be choked by the chili pepper.

Lu Xi suddenly felt that she had a bad mouth. No, she hadn’t said it out loud yet. Could it be that her inner voice was a bad mouth?

But it also made her see clearly again that luck really favors those who favor it.

Fortunately, I also have a lucky buff bonus.

Seeing the two of them like this, Long Ruilin felt that they were about to start bickering. They hadn't even finished their meal yet, so why bother starting a quarrel?

He immediately took out two mind-clearing talismans that he had made from the space and stuck them on the backs of Lu Xi and the system respectively.

The talisman paper melted as soon as it touched the hand, just like dissolving into clear water, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Long Ruilin was very satisfied with the situation. He didn't expect that he could make something decent on his first try. When his skills become more proficient one day, he will be able to draw talismans directly in the air without the need for tools such as talisman paper, cinnabar, or other external objects.

It was much more convenient then.

However, Long Ruilin leaned over and observed the two people who received his talisman to see if they had any reaction.

...There didn't seem to be much reaction.

The system was concentrating on cleaning the chili oil on its face that was rubbed off on its hasty eating. After the talisman was attached to its body, there was no abnormal movement.

Although Lu Xi did not look abnormal on the outside, after the talisman was stuck on her body, she suddenly felt her mind clear up, as if all her distracting thoughts were swept away, and she felt an unprecedented sense of refreshment.

Apart from this momentary thought, there was nothing else.

Long Ruilin looked at the two people's calm reactions, and his heart couldn't help but ripple. He began to be uncertain about the actual effect of the Qingxin Talisman when used on people.

He wondered to himself, could it be that his first attempt did not achieve the effect described in the book?

But on second thought, that shouldn't be the case. He was confident in every stroke he made when drawing the talisman, so it should be possible.

Moreover, he had already experimented on Xiaojiu. Although he did not have much reaction to this Qingxin Talisman, this talisman was not harmful to humans.

Finally, Long Ruilin couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Lu Xi softly, "Sister, did you feel anything special just now? Even if it's just a slight change."

As he spoke, he pinched his little finger, trying to find out something suspicious.

"Different?" Lu Xi didn't feel any difference. The system was still the same system. Although it was a little unlucky, it was just like usual. The two of them just had a few words and it was over.

By the way, my mind seemed to be different just now, so I refreshed it at that time. Could this be what Longlong is asking?

"Just now I suddenly felt my mind was very clear, just like what people often say... a calm mind is naturally cool, without any distractions, all worries disappeared. I wonder if this is the 'difference' you are asking about?"
