What has Mo Chengyu received from Jiang Qiuqiu?

The delicious dishes from several days ago, did she return them?

Many unpleasant images appeared in Jiang Qiuqiu’s mind.

Forget it, it’s not worth dwelling on.

Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t say anything for a moment, and Mo Chengyu leaned back on the sofa and laughed, “Alright, alright, we’ve exchanged gifts. If you feel like I’ve gotten the short end of the stick, feel free to come over more often in the future and bring me some of your dishes.”

“I really love your cooking.”

Her eyes sparkled with sincerity and clarity, giving her usually gentle demeanor a touch of innocence.

Jiang Qiuqiu liked this lively friend, so she nodded.

“Okay, I’ll treat you to some delicious food in the future.”

“But!”

However, Mo Chengyu couldn’t eat the food she brought today.

When Jiang Qiuqiu asked why, Mo Chengyu sighed helplessly, “My mental energy is a bit fragile lately, and I can’t ingest mixed energies. Besides mental nourishment fluid, I can’t eat anything else.”

She looked deeply troubled, “That’s why I didn’t come to see you. I was afraid that once I left this door, no one could control me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Qiuqiu reached behind the sofa and covered the thermos box with her hand, placing it there.

Mo Chengyu: …

“Then I won’t bring food over for a while.”

“No need, I’ve arranged for a mental energy groomer to come over. They’ll be here tomorrow, and after the grooming, I can stop the nourishment fluid.”

“That’s good.”

The two of them chatted about mental energy-related topics for a while. Suddenly, Mo Chengyu asked, “Have you been using this helmet frequently recently?”

“Yeah.” Jiang Qiuqiu nodded.

Mo Chengyu pondered for a moment. “Have you been using your mental energy constantly?”

Using mental energy? Jiang Qiuqiu shook her head, “Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

“You just said that every time you’re very tired, using this mental helmet helps alleviate it a lot,” Mo Chengyu explained, “It’s designed specifically for mental energy restoration. If you find it effective, it means you’ve been using a part of your mental energy.”

“May I ask, when do you usually feel mentally exhausted?”

Mental energy, this touched on a common blind spot for both the original host and Jiang Qiuqiu.

After thinking for a moment, she said, “Cooking. Every time after cooking, I feel a bit tired.”

“Cooking?” Mo Chengyu fell into thought.

This serious expression made Jiang Qiuqiu, who rarely saw it, a bit nervous.

Then—

“No wonder your cooking is so delicious! Turns out you’re also using mental energy!”

“…”

“Sister Chengyu, were you thinking about this just now?”

“Yeah, speaking of which, Qiuqiu, if I may be so bold, what’s your mental energy level?”

“It’s B+.”

“B+ huh, that’s a very good mental energy intensity. Logically speaking, even if you’re condensing mental energy to cook, you shouldn’t feel so tired. Qiuqiu, did you ever train your mental energy when you were in school?”

Mo Chengyu naturally brought up school, and Jiang Qiuqiu was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head.

The person across from her was about to say that it’s impossible for every mental energy academy to not at least provide a mental energy forging method, but then heard Jiang Qiuqiu say, “I never went to school.”

“Sorry.” She immediately felt she had asked something she shouldn’t have.

Jiang Qiuqiu shook her head, indicating it didn’t matter, “It’s no big deal, no need to apologize.”

“Apology accepted, let’s drop it. Continuously overusing mental energy isn’t too good. If you have time in the future, you can come over here and train your mental energy with me.”
