OBS Chapter 290 Gifts
Chapter 290 Gifts
Some people experience a surge of adrenaline when they are afraid, making them more impulsive and aggressive.
Some people's brains go into overdrive when faced with fear, and their bodies become unable to take any action.
Howard is neither of the above.
The more frightened he was, the clearer his mind became.
The more irrational you are when in danger, the more likely it is to lead to bad consequences.
When Howard said he was choking, the Eldar kindly poured him a glass of fresh water.
"Thank you!" Howard took the water and drank it all, washing away his fear.
This Eldar has been with him for so long and nothing has happened. Assuming that Slaanesh has noticed her, then he must have his own considerations for choosing to wait and see. This Eldar will be fine for a while.
If Slaanesh wasn't paying attention to her, then she shouldn't say anything that might cause her emotions to fluctuate.
After understanding these two points, Howard felt a lot more at ease.
Then he felt a pang of fear. If he had really reminded this elf a few minutes ago and told her that she was being watched by an unspeakable existence, there would probably be a big mess.
At this point, Howard really wanted to thank himself for the habit he had developed over the years, that is, even when he was angry or frightened, he would think before doing anything. This habit helped him avoid a lot of trouble.
But now that he realizes this, Howard won't sit idly by, he has to do something.
So he put down the cup and opened the freezer door under the gaze of Mei and Gloria.
This is just a guest room, not a kitchen, so although there is a place for guests to cook their own meals, the amount of ingredients prepared is naturally far less than that in the kitchen.
For example, although there were flour and bean flour in the freezer at this time, there was only a small bag of each, and Howard had already consumed some of them when he made pancakes.
But it’s good that there are still materials.
Howard took out the two bags of flour and bean flour, then took out some vegetables and meat from the freezer and washed them in the pool.
"What are you going to do..." the elf asked in confusion.
"Cooking," Howard said.
The elves and the nuns looked at each other. They couldn't understand why Howard was still cooking when he had already eaten. Was he hungry again?
But the amount of ingredients Howard took out far exceeded the normal needs of a human meal, which was very abnormal.
But none of them asked any questions, and no one tried to stop Howard's seemingly inexplicable action.
So, under the watchful eyes of the nuns and the elves, Howard started making pancakes again.
Pour all the flour and bean flour into a bowl, add eggs, a little oil and salt, beat with a whisk and set aside.
Pour half a can of beans into the blender, then add three teaspoons of pepper, appropriate amount of sugar and salt, and finally a can of sparkling water, mix and crush.
The blender probably needed a deep cleaning after all this use, but Howard didn't care about that.
Dice the garlic and onion, melt the butter in a pan, pour in the sauce and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour in the prepared sauce, mix and stir-fry until thick, remove from the pan and let cool for later use.
Clean the pan, reheat it, melt the butter, and pour in the flour prepared earlier.
Howard has repeated the following steps countless times since he came into this world.
Soon, another steaming pancake came out of the pan.
"Try it?" Howard said.
The nuns and the elves did not refuse. They each cut off a small piece to taste.
"It's really unconventional," the nun said after tasting it. "There's nothing special about the ingredients or the steps, but the taste is so special."
Then the nun said, "How about you teach me how to make this food, and I'll see if my food tastes the same as yours."
"Don't bother," Howard replied as he poured the batter into the pan. "I've done rigorous experiments elsewhere, and only my pancakes taste this way. Even if a machine replicates my steps, the food it makes won't have this characteristic."
The nun stopped insisting.
Finally, under the full attention of the nuns and the elves, Howard used up all the batter and finally made twenty pancakes.
He wrapped the pancakes in napkins, took two bread baskets from the dining table, and put ten pancakes into each basket.
"This is for you!" Howard handed one of the baskets of pancakes to the nun.
"Thanks...but I can't eat so much." The nun wanted to refuse.
For healthy people who are not addicted to desires, this pancake is really just a delicious food. The combat nuns obviously belong to this category, and the precepts of the state religion also require them not to indulge in lust and pleasure, so the nuns have the ability and motivation to refuse Howard's gift.
"Here!" After being rejected the first time, Howard once again handed the basket of pancakes to the nun. "Even if you don't eat them, you have to save them. Keep them safe so they don't go bad. It's best to carry some with you. It might be helpful in a critical moment."
"What is the critical moment? What is the miraculous effect?" The nun was puzzled.
"Well... for example, if you encounter a mental attack or have a headache and there is really no solution, you might as well give it a try." Howard replied.
"Well... okay." Although she didn't understand why, the nun still accepted Howard's gift and expressed her gratitude at the end: "Thank you."
Howard waved his hand to the nun to indicate that it was no big deal, then picked up another basket and handed it to May.
"May, this is for you," Howard said. "I have a feeling it'll be useful in the future."
The Eldar accepted Howard's gift without much hesitation: "Thank you. I will treat it with care."
After distributing the pancakes, Howard clapped his hands, cleaned up the messy kitchen a bit, and then ordered everyone to leave:
"Ladies, we have a lot to do tomorrow! Are you planning on staying with me tonight?"
"Do you want us to be here?" The nun obviously misunderstood Howard's meaning and asked back.
"No." Howard gave a straightforward answer to this potentially ambiguous question, but then explained, "There's only one bed here. If you guys stay, I'll have to sleep on the sofa. My back isn't good."
Both the Eldar and the nun could see that the human was talking nonsense, but they knew what Howard wanted to say, so they said goodbye to Howard one by one. The nun opened the door and went out, while the Eldar still climbed over the balcony.
After May and Gloria left, Howard kicked off his shoes and threw himself face down on the soft bed.
After lying there for a while, he remembered something and stepped on the floor with his bare feet. He dug out Om Messiah from the pile of dirty clothes he had changed.
Howard sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the mobile phone in his hand that had been with him since the beginning. After thinking for a while, he pressed the power button.
