Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Analysis Database of Super Sensory Information Syndrome

When Xiang Kun and the other three arrived at Youlong Restaurant, it was already a little past eight forty p.m.

On an ordinary day, Youlong Restaurant would still be bustling with customers. But today, the restaurant had shut its doors early and hung up a sign displaying, “Closed for business”.

Upon seeing the video and related news about the plane crash on his phone, and confirming that Xiang Kun along with Tang Baona and Yang Zhen Er were on that aircraft, You Meng lost all mood to go back to the kitchen.

Even though most dishes were now made by standardized procedures and his absence did not affect much—considering they had now opened two branches—You Meng wasn’t the only one who knew Xiang Kun. The restaurant’s administrators and old staff all knew him, having been frequently given personal guidance, assistance with setup, and process optimization by Xiang Kun whenever they developed new dishes.

Everyone knew that Xiang Kun, Miss Tang, and Miss Yang were on that plane. With the owners and their wives unable to focus on tasks and staying upstairs in the private room the entire time, the entire restaurant atmosphere felt amiss. Everyone’s mind was not on the work at hand.

Thus, You Meng directed Liang Yulong to temporarily stop business operations. For all the customers who had finished their meals, their meals were made free, and they were given a coupon worth 100. While those who had ordered but not yet received their meals were given coupons worth 500 and a vacuum sealed smoked rabbit leg; those waiting in line outside were depending on the number they had drawn were given different coupons of varying values from 300-100. These coupons had no single-use restrictions, even if you use 500 all at once for a purchase, it was no problem; thus, many customers didn’t complain.

But of course, there were those who were displeased with their meal being interrupted and demanded an explanation. However, after learning that the owner’s friends were on the plane that had the accident, they immediately expressed understanding.

The video and news related to the Peng City-Jianzhou City flight accident were already circulating rapidly online. Particularly amongst the people of Tongshi Town in Jianzhou City, many already posted related news in their Wechat groups and Moments. After all, if people from Tongshi Town wanted to go to other provinces by plane, they had to go to Jianzhou Airport. This event had essentially happened to them.

Putting themselves in the others’ shoes, if their own family and friends were on that plane, they wouldn’t have been able to work either.

So, the guests soon left, and the restaurant door was closed again. Inside were only the restaurant’s employees and Xiang Kun’s acquaintances, Xia Tianhuo and Chu Xiuwen; from the private room upstairs to the lobby floor downstairs, they congregated in waiting for news.

Zhao Feng and Wang De’an stayed as well, secretly checking their phones to get more reliable information through channels within Divine Technology.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long after the restaurant was closed that they saw the news of the plane’s successful landing. Several videos surfaced of the plane landing safely and cheers erupted in the restaurant, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, You Meng managed to get through to Xiang Kun’s phone, learning that he, Tang Baona and Yang Zhen Er had gotten off the plane safe and sound, and were not injured. So, he agreed to meet them at the restaurant for dinner.

Estimating their departure from the airport, You Meng also coordinated with the restaurant staff to ready a table of hot dishes. As soon as Xiang Kun and others arrived at the restaurant, they could start eating.

“I’m starving! I’m starving!” As soon as they entered the restaurant, Yang Zhen Er could not wait to rush to the table filled with dishes in the hall.

Originally, they were estimated to arrive at Tongshi Town around seven o’clock, making dinner ideal. However, who knew they would encounter such a situation causing them to be so late. Previously on the plane, they were too scared and later too excited at finding out Dr. Xia’s secret, they didn’t care about their hunger. When it was nearly arriving at Tongshi Town, Yang Zhen Er was already starving to the point she could no longer bear it. Now, she thought she could eat a whole cow.

Tang Baona and Xia Libing were much more reserved but they were certain they were just as hungry. After they arrived at the restaurant, they couldn’t afford to catch up with friends any more. They settled in with a big bowl of hot soup and began to eat main course to quench their hunger.

However, their looks were quite reassuring to Liang Yulong: “Seeing you guys like this, I feel relieved now. If it were me, I guess I wouldn’t be able to eat after such an event.”

“Indeed, viewing the scene on the plane from the video, plunging straight down with the engine on fire, it is really terrifying.” Xia Tianhuo, who made fun of Yang Lao San daily, nodded, expressing his real worry about her safety.

Yang Zhen Er who had her mouth full of food looked up and mumbled, “No matter how scary it is, we still have to eat!”

Xia Tianhuo then asked, “By the way, Yang Lao San, on your way back from the airport, I saw some media interviews with a few passengers from your flight. They said there was a little girl who appeared outside the airplane. She guarded the plane, preventing the bird swarm from exploding the remaining engine, allowing the plane to land safely. Did you see that little girl? There are a lot of doubts online about it, saying it is impossible for anyone to stand outside the airplane at such a high altitude without protection, let alone a little girl.”

Yang Zhen Er looked at him with a confused expression, “I don’t know. I guess I was scared stiff then, I didn’t notice anything outside. You should ask Nana.” After that, she slyly winked at Dr. Xia, but Dr. Xia was busy eating and didn’t notice her “merit-claiming” gaze.

Tang Baona also shook her head: “I didn’t notice either, I was so scared… I had my eyes closed! You should ask Xiang Kun!” and then continued eating.

In the lobby of the first floor, Xia Tianhuo, You Meng, Liang Yulong, Chu Xiuwen, Liu Caifu, including Zhao Feng, Wang De’an and other people, all turned their attention to Xiang Kun who seemed to be the most reticent of the four, waiting for his answer.

With the enhanced control of subtle body movements, Xiang Kun no longer needed the super sensory contact cobblestone to “settle his stomach” and suppress vomiting during meals. He could directly control the movement of food residues in the gut. Although he still couldn’t digest and absorb the food, he at least can eat and drink naturally now. Plus, he didn’t have to endure severe discomfort in his stomach while using the cobblestone restraint like before.

Facing everyone’s expectant gaze, Xiang Kun smiled and wiped his mouth, then said: “I don’t really know either, I think I might have been too scared and fell asleep.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen Er, who was in the middle of eating, suddenly sprayed rice from her nostrils and began to cough, as she choked on her food.

You Meng couldn’t hold back his comment: “Damn! The plane was about to crash, and you fell asleep?”

Xiang Kun chuckled, “I guess I fainted from fear.”

At this point, even Tang Baona spat out her soup, choking on it.
