2 Cooking

The next day, Kuroko and... quest, but now Kuroko was facing a great Crisis.

It's a Crisis of survival.

He didn't work, and his family just ordinary family, his mother just a housewife, meanwhile his father just an employee. But now his parents left him forever. he was left with only this two-story house.

Kuroko reached through his pocket and took all the money that was left. After searching for a few times, He found 10.000 Yen. His father car license was expired. Car assurance could not be claimed. Meanwhile, there were too many incidents involving the lost controlled artificial intelligence. This was a global case because this problem already caused 1 million peoples death.

He entered his home and said to Momoi

"Momoi, You will live in my room"

Hearing this, Momoi blushed.

"I will move my goods from my room to my parent's room," Kuroko said.

"Oh" Hearing this, Momoi felt disappointed.

"Can you help me to move my goods, Momoi?

"Yes"

He read some news on the internet.

"The murder case in the VRMMO: Gun Gale Online was finally solved. The player: Death Gun was captured"

"Wow, Sword Art Online" Kuroko surprised.

Then he looked at another news.

"Some incidents involved Lost Controlling artificial intelligence."

He looked at the incidents one by one.

"The a.i. in the train lost control, result in the death of more than 100 peoples"

"The a.i. in the plane lost control, the plane lost"

Etc...

This is not good

"The microwave burned the house."

"One of Nuclear Missile from the USA lost control"

"This"

"The car accident that involved to me also caused by lost controlled artificial intelligence"

"In this era, all of the things were connected to the internet (Internet of Things). Not Good"

Kuroko checked all of the things in his house and disconnected them from the internet.

He said to Momoi, "Momoi, don't turn on the internet until the Lost Controlled Artificial intelligence case is solved."

"Yes, Tetsu-kun"

"grrr—"

However, suddenly her stomach made such a sound which made her face turn red.

"Ding.... A quest have been received - make a food that can satisty lovely Momoi"

"Reward: Player Points +10"

"I will cook something for you."

"Tetsu-kun, you can cook?"

"Wait for my cooking, Momoi" Kuroko smiled as he said loudly.

Kuroko went toward the stove and glanced at the pot, pans, and knives that were neatly placed on the shelves. Everything here was new, this place was well prepared.

However these pieces of equipment only play a supporting role in cooking, the most important things are the chef and the ingredients.

Kuroko turned around and opened the fridge. There weren't many ingredients. There was only some shrimp, carrot, ham and onions as well as some egg and rice.

Seeing this, Kuroko's eyes flashed. Although there weren't many ingredients, it's enough to make the thing he wanted to make.

"Momoi, Do you mind eating fried rice?"

"I eat it occasionally at home."

Kuroko looked at Momoi, then gently smiled, first, he picked the rice from the fridge, then he put it into a basin and began carefully washing it.

For the fried rice, the first step was to wash the rice and removed anything else that was with it or else it will affect the taste.

At the same time, Kuroko filled the kettle with water and fired the stove to begin boiling the water. Washing the rice and boiling the water at the same time can shorten the time.

After the rice was washed, Kuroko poured the rice over the water into a filter. The rice was being steamed.

These steps are all to prepare the golden fried rice. The rice was releasing steam. Not only did the rice seem good it would definitively taste better too

Taking advantage of the time the rice is being steamed, Kuroko picked the green beans, onions and a knife from the shelf for cutting vegetables.

From beginning to end, Momoi stared at Kuroko from the side watching curiously. She looked at how he was skilled with the knife, she couldn't help but gulp as those cooking skills should be honed over several years of practice.

Next, Kuroko started handling eggs. It was hard after all. He separated the egg yolk from the white. The golden fried rice was made using only the yolk as the white wasn't needed.

After a while, Kuroko picked the steamed rice which made a strong aroma fill the place.

After getting cooking talents from the system, he got 50 food recipes. One of them is fried rice.

Next, he waited for it to cool a little, then he opened the fire under the pot at the maximum heat. He added the vegetable oil to the pan and waited until it warmed. Then he quickly placed the green onion in the pan, then he added the Rice and egg yolk and salt and white pepper and started stirring it skillfully.

In the process of frying the rice, Kuroko was counting the time in his heart. He controlled the heat which was very important in this process. After all, if he used too much heat and let it for a little longer than necessary, the rice would be burnt.

At the right time, Kuroko turned off the fire and poured the rice into a plate.

As he poured out the fried rice, an intriguing aroma spread instantaneously inside the club room. Under the sunlight that was projected through the window, the fried rice was wrapped around by a golden luster. The egg yolk and rice formed a very uniform color.

After he finished, a notification sounded inside Kuroko's mind.

–Golden fried rice: Rating: 65 points! This is a food that people can enjoy!–

"Momoi, try the Golden fried rice that I prepared."

According to the system, the food can make people satisfied so tried to verify that.

Looking at the plate in front of her, Momoi couldn't help but swallow.

By the time Momoi sent her first spoonful of rice into her mouth, she was stunned.

The strong yolk scent wrapped with the soft rice spread all over her taste buds. The fried rice wasn't as greasy as she imagined, but instead, it was really fragrant. The perfect combination of the flavors including the faint taste of the green onion made the taste overwhelming. All of a sudden Momoi was hooked up.

She took a small breath and continued eating, she was unable to stop herself. While enjoying the meal like a child, she praised and said: "It's really delicious! I have eaten fried rice before, but not one as perfect as this. How did you do this?"

"Ding, you get +10 player points"

Kuroko said to her "I will teach you how to cook it"
