Come and Help Me!

In the midst of various game manufacturers' advertising hype, people also found the games they wanted to play.

In terms of the gimmick of "Valentine's Day special games," Sprout Studio's creation, "Breaking Up Kitchen," pales in comparison to the others.

This work looks too much like a half-hearted product, and it's even priced at a steep 52 yuan.

As the clock struck midnight, the calendar date switched to the next day.

On the calendar, the words "Valentine's Day" were particularly prominent.

"Hey everyone, this is a co-op game. Let's randomly pick a follower to play with me." Immediately, Brother Yin initiated a giveaway in the live stream, giving away 20 game codes to his fans.

The viewers watching the live stream were excited. As Valentine's Day arrived at midnight, they weren't particularly interested in the Valentine's Day special games that claimed to be full of beautiful love stories.

Compared to those games, they were much more eager for this game made by Sprout Studio.

The giveaway ended quickly, and the twenty fans received their game redemption codes in no time.

The game didn't require much memory; it was only about 2 GB, and it could be downloaded within a few minutes.

"Hey, can you hear me speaking?" Fans with microphones joined online, and a cute voice could be heard through the earphones, carrying a hint of playfulness.

"I swear! A female fan!"

"Voice changer!"

"How could he have such a cute female fan!"

...

Upon hearing the voice in his earpiece, Brother Yin was momentarily stunned. He cleared his throat a couple of times, his face taking on a serious expression.

"You know,"

"I don't like cute voices. It's just the fans in the chat room who like them."

"They always try to impose their preferences on me, so I just have to go along! Yes, I like it!"

After listening to his words, giggles echoed through the earpiece. Just hearing this voice made people's minds wander.

The two of them quickly entered the game and joined the same room.

"This character is so adorable!" The female fan's voice of surprise came through the headset.

"I declare that the old scoundrel does understand girls. At least this time, the character he created doesn't look as strange as the one swinging a hammer before."

The selectable characters inside the game were all given an anime-style makeover, and every little chef looked cute and endearing.

After carefully selecting a green crocodile as her chef character, the female fan entered the game as well.

The story was set in the fantastical Onion Kingdom. After a short introductory scene, the game dived into the main theme: cooking!

In the initial tutorial, all you had to do was follow the prompts to complete the beginner's tutorial. It was quite simple.

Following the instructions, you just needed to place ingredients on the workstation for processing.

The process was straightforward: Select ingredients – Chop – Plate – Serve

Combining ingredients was also simple. Just chop both ingredients – place them in a dish – done.

"Okay, here's the plan: you handle the chopping, and I'll handle plating." Brother Yin efficiently assigned their roles in the game.

"Okay, got it!" The female fan's sweet voice was very pleasing.

The first tutorial level wasn't very challenging, and there wasn't any pressure from the time limit.

Plating was quick; it only took a few seconds. However, chopping wasn't as fast.

Chopping wasn't as simple as placing the ingredients on the cutting board; your little chef needed to perform actions in front of the cutting board.

After clicking the corresponding button, a small progress bar appeared above the chef's head, indicating the progress of your chopping.

The kitchen had more than one cutting board.

Between plating orders for customers, Brother Yin found time to help with chopping. They looked like a cooperative couple, running their kitchen affectionately.

"They're really hungry!" The Onion King raised his scepter, letting the little chefs train outside while he defended against the zombie waves.

At this point, the game officially began.

The two little chefs emerged from the palace and drove their food carts toward the next level.

Level 1-1 was simple, with only two dishes.

Plating fish or shrimp.

They wanted to continue with the same arrangement from the previous level: Brother Yin would chop, and Brother Yin would plate. However, chopping required time. In just a few seconds, Brother Yin overturned their initial roles.

"You chop the fish, and I'll chop the shrimp. After chopping, put them on plates and serve them."

"Sure thing!" The female fan didn't object, obediently taking a blue fish from the box, placing it on the cutting board, and chopping away.

"It does suit couples playing together, running your kitchen as a team." Brother Yin commented as he watched the timer tick down, offering his first review.

The female fan seemed to be having a lot of fun.

It seemed like girls generally enjoyed this type of management game. If the two of them could successfully manage a kitchen together, it would indeed make for a good Qixi game.

However, compared to those games with beautiful love stories, it still fell a bit short.

The first level only took two to three minutes, and the female fan operated her food cart leisurely to the second level.

The map for the kitchen was different from the previous level. This time, they were in a small river. The kitchen was in a quaint traditional-style building, surrounded by blooming lotus flowers.

Upon entering the game, Brother Yin furrowed his brow, because there were significant changes to the ingredients compared to the previous level.

Before entering the game, there was a recipe.

This level was about making sushi. You had to cook the rice, place it on a plate, add seaweed and sliced salmon.

"You start chopping, and I'll cook the rice." Brother Yin took a swift step toward a box containing rice.

He boiled rice in three pots at once, finishing the process for all three pots in a single breath.

Sounds of boiling rice could be heard, and a progress bar appeared beneath the rice pot.

"I'll go chop the other ingredients." Standing idle, Brother Yin went to the cutting board and began chopping the salmon.

But just as he had chopped about half of it, the progress bar for the rice pot was already full, and the boiling pot started emitting a red warning signal.

The kitchen's background music also started to sound urgent.

"Oh no! My rice!" Hurriedly setting down his knife, he rushed over to the rice pot, picked up one of the pots, and placed the rice on the plate.

In the time he spent doing that, the other two pots turned red as well, emitting continuous alarms. They were about to boil over.

Brother Yin wanted to grab another pot, but he realized he needed to set down an empty pot first.

Hastily placing the pot down, he picked up another red-hot pot.

But then he encountered another problem.

The plates were stacked on top of each other, and the previous plate still had rice on it. He couldn't put the rice he held onto the plate.

"Hurry! Stop chopping, come help me for a moment, lift the plates."

Meanwhile, the last pot had turned crimson, sounding constant alarms. It had reached its limit.
