Chapter 767 Crazy obsession
"Have you found the lost data again?" Ma Lu said.
Lao Wang nodded, "As the chef's level has improved, my damaged sectors have also been repaired, or to be more precise, those sectors have not been damaged, but have been encrypted by special means."
"Oh, who did it? Is your enemy so immoral?"
"It's me." Lao Wang said, "This is actually a self-protection mechanism.
"Just like your carbon-based lives may have identity disorder after receiving a lot of foreign memories, our silicon-based lives are written into too much information at one time and may also be lost in the sea of data.
“So I had to block most of the information, unlocking in segments by increasing the chef level.
"But even so, being written so much information at once still exceeded the limit I could accommodate, and I had to delete some less important information.
"This even includes why I came here and who I am."
"Uh, I think 'Who are you' should be quite important information," said Ma Lu.
"My tribe and I are different from you humans. The ultimate goal of our existence is to explore and maintain the beauty of the multiverse.
"The information he gave me is so beautiful. In my opinion, it is far more important than who I am. I can't bear to delete even one byte."
"The person you are talking about is Chef ψ? What is your relationship with him, and why did he die in front of you?"
Dalia raised a series of questions.
"I forgot my name, I just remember that I was his psychiatrist." Lao Wang said.
"In the eyes of outsiders, he is the only seven-star chef in the multiverse, the most talented cook ever, and the person standing at the top of cooking.
"But at the same time, he also has a very serious mental illness and needs regular treatment. ψ's paranoia for cooking has reached a level that ordinary people cannot understand.
"I can't stand even a slight flaw. After he won the title of Seven-Star Chef, he couldn't go further for a long time. He couldn't accept the reality that his cooking skills were stagnant.
"I started looking for all ways to continue to improve. During the treatment, he expressed his envy of silicon-based life like me many times, because we are born to surpass carbon-based life in control of precision.
"For example, I can accurately calculate the weight of a grain of salt without using any tools, and can accurately reach six decimal places.
"Chef ψ firmly believes that mastering such abilities can help him go further on the road to improving his cooking skills.
"But I also told him that compared with humans, we also have our shortcomings and we lack creativity. Because of this, my tribe and I have always been committed to exploring and maintaining the beauty of the multiverse, but we cannot create those beautiful things with our own hands."
"However, Chef ψ didn't know when he had an idea. He believed that as long as he transformed himself into a silicon-based life and integrated the advantages of both, he could make his cooking skills that had been stagnant for a long time go further.
"I warned him, but underestimated his determination and action. He created a dish called "Mechanical Heart Live Octopus and venison, and ate it.
"The conversion was successful at first, but he was a little unprepared for the impact of siliconization on his soul, especially the dangers in the sea of data.
“He was swallowed up by the overwhelming flow of information there, and when I found him, he had been lost for too long to escape from the sea of data.
"Of course, even when it comes to this point, things still have a turnaround. After all, that's ψ, the greatest chef in the history of the entire multiverse.
"He expected the possibility of failure and prepared in advance." Right on his dining table, there was also a piece of egg bread rice that was restored. As long as he ate that bowl of egg bread rice, his body could still return to his original appearance.
"However, Chef ψ refused to do this, because it would completely fail his plan and mean that his cooking skills could not go further.
“As I said before, Chef ψ has an almost pathological persistence in improving cooking skills.
"Since his body failed to silicate, he changed his mind and wanted to give his extraordinary cooking skills and unique inspiration and creativity to a silicon-based life."
"I happened to be there at that time. As his psychologist, I rejected his proposal, but ψ was very clear about my weaknesses and he only gave me two choices.
"Either let him die like this, or inherit the data packets he transmitted containing all the cooking skills and insights. At that time, his body had basically completed siliconization, and it was only the last step away from us. We could send and receive data packets from each other."
"I can't sit back and watch the most precious and beautiful things in this multiverse pass away silently, so I can only agree to the second option."
"I watched Chef ψ die before my eyes, but on the other hand, part of him was reborn in my body.
"Although he promised to transmit only information related to cooking, I still underestimated the intensity of this part of the information. After all, he devoted his whole life to this great cause, so that I had to enclose and block some of the information first.
"At the same time, I deleted a lot of my own memories to accept it in full. There is no doubt that I am not, and I will never be chef ψ, but from that moment on I am no longer myself."
"I forgot my name, my past, and came to Earth alone."
"Why is it the earth?" Ma Lu said in confusion, "Isn't this a food desert? There are no special ingredients."
"Because this is his hometown."
"Uh...what are you referring to?"
"ψ, he comes from here. In order to improve his cooking skills, he left the earth on a smuggling boat many years ago and secretly went to the Major League because he was worried that his identity as a smuggler would be discovered and never showed up in front of diners."
"Ah, is it because of this?"
Dalia was also stunned, "Is Chef ψ Earthling?"
"One hundred percent." Lao Wang said, "I still remember the restaurant he once worked in."
Ma Lu's focus is on another matter. He pointed at Dalia and said, "Is it true that she said Chef ψ has the ability to stop this doomsday?"
"Maybe."
"Then Lao Wang, you inherited all his cooking skills. Can you save the multiverse on his behalf?" Ma Lu ignited hope again.
"I'm sorry, I can't do it." Lao Wang shook his head and said, "The idea of ψ is beautiful, but as a silicon-based life, I cannot really inherit his creativity and talent. I can only cook according to the recipes he left behind.
"Even if the creation module is unlocked, you can only combine and fine-tune the original dishes, and you cannot truly create my own dishes."
Ma Lu was disappointed, but Lao Wang continued, "But if you add another person, you might be able to try it."
