Kongcan praised, and the likes for the Food Cauldron Celestial Book increased by [500].

Looking at the current data:

[Accumulated Likes: 24316]

Compared to before going out in the afternoon, Chen Xu's accumulated likes had increased by more than thirteen hundred points.

Among these, [1100] likes came from Kongcan!

His daily basic like limit is 1000 points, but if the praised and consumed is Spiritual Food, this limit will naturally be expanded.

Currently, Kongcan has not truly consumed any high-level Spiritual Food from Chen Xu, so the specific limit is unknown.

Chen Xu just felt that he absolutely could not let Kongcan go easily.

Catching just one Kongcan was even more effective than pushing Cloud Frost through multiple restaurants simultaneously.

With Kongcan here, perhaps in a day or two, Chen Xu's accumulated likes could directly break through thirty thousand, unlocking [Literary Dao Spiritual Food]!

Chen Xu held the Spirit Wine Cup, and although he had this thought in his heart, he was not impatient.

Because he knew well, although Kongcan seemed naive and a bit foolish at this moment, his power seemed to be suppressed by something, unable to be unleashed.

But if you truly treat him completely as a fool, then you're being foolish yourself.

With someone like him, who knows where his trump card lies?

Chen Xu was not in a hurry. He just drank his wine, the small wine gourd on the table attracting Kongcan's gaze constantly.

He seemed to always have the urge to snatch the wine gourd on the table, but Chen Xu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the wine gourd.

A line of rich, fragrant wine poured out from the gourd, its intoxicating aroma surging up.

Kongcan the little Daoist child couldn't help but swallow a gulp, and at the same time, his stomach rumbled again.

The little Daoist child's face turned red, and he finally realized that he should eat first.

The bowl and chopsticks were already set on the table, and the rice had already been served by the waiter.

Kongcan quickly took a bowl of rice in front of him, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating.

As he ate, he picked up the dishes. Initially, his movements were somewhat clumsy, looking as if he hadn't eaten properly for a long time.

But soon, as he reached out with the chopsticks more frequently, his eating movements became more skillful.

He ate rapidly, inhaling and exhaling as he ate.

Sometimes, when he encountered unexpected flavors, his eyes widened in surprise, and he blurted out, "What a taste!"

Under normal circumstances, the dishes in this restaurant were not made directly by Chen Xu, only enhanced with the Cloud Frost he made, so even if people praise a lot, each time it would only bring Chen Xu [Like +1] at most.

The daily limit for an individual was just this, relying mainly on word-of-mouth promotion.

For example, someone might not have eaten Zuanyu Building's signature dish, but once they hear about it and casually ask, "Is Zuanyu Building's signature dish really that delicious?"

And someone else answers, "Absolutely! This can't be fake, I ordered ten signature dishes at Zuanyu Building the other day..."

Even if it's just boasting, as long as the person genuinely believes Zuanyu Building's signature dishes are exceptionally delicious, Chen Xu will often get [Like +1].

This is the power of reputation, similar to the idea of "cooking human demons with raging fire."

Otherwise, with signature dishes having limited availability, how can Chen Xu still receive thousands of likes daily through this channel?

But this is ultimately random, focusing on a long-term approach, not as satisfying as getting more praises from the little Daoist child Kongcan in front of him.

Both instant high praise and a steady stream of likes were something Chen Xu wanted, and he wouldn't miss either opportunity.

He slowly sipped the Intoxicated Spirit Wine in his cup, waiting for Kongcan to finish eating all the dishes on the table stormily.

"Burp!" Kongcan burped after eating.

This ungraceful burp first made his face stiffen, then he straightened his back, finally realizing something.

So Kongcan cleared his throat and set his eyes on the wine gourd in Chen Xu's hand again.

"This Dao simply fasted for too long, suddenly gaining some insight. This... mortal world food can be tasted occasionally, just for experiencing the mundane.

By the way, about your wine?"

He was still thinking about the Spirit Wine in Chen Xu's hand.

But how could the Spirit Wine be easily obtained?

Chen Xu once again smiled without saying anything, and Kongcan got anxious, his eyes darting around until he suddenly exclaimed.

"You... right, you have a calamity!" He leaned his body forward, lowered his voice, speaking mysteriously, "Brother Chen, let me tell you, I'll help you resolve the calamity, and you give me a few gourds of Spirit Wine, you won't lose out."

Chen Xu asked, "Little Daoist, why don't you first tell me, what calamity do I have?"

The little Daoist child extended his hand quickly and said, "Brother Chen, I see a green tint on your forehead, indicating that your fortune is blocked, it must be some evil path eyeing you.

But to be specific, you need to write a word on my hand.

Observing the aura can determine fate, and writing characters can reveal insights. Hey, specific details require character divination."

This was interesting.

The art of fortune-telling had always been very mysterious to Chen Xu. Although he had the Spiritual Cicada Jade Robe in hand, he himself was actually clueless about fortune-telling.

However, directly writing on the hand of the little Daoist Kongcan was absolutely inadvisable. Who knows if there was some unknown mystery in it?

Chen Xu remained vigilant toward this mysterious little Daoist.

He just pondered briefly, then stretched out a finger to draw a line gently on the table.

This was "one".

He only wrote the word "one"!

The little Daoist Kongcan looked up at him, initially having no apparent change in expression when he saw him.

Kongcan just blurted out, "You actually wrote 'one'!"

As the words fell, an unexpected, unforeseen shock gradually appeared in Kongcan's bright eyes.

His expression slowly transformed with an ice-cracking shock, and his right hand on the table suddenly formed a pinching gesture.

"One, you actually wrote one..."

The little Daoist muttered softly:

"One ink marks the start, able to glimpse the three talents.

One stroke opens the sky, can divide yin and yang.

Continuing with one, breaking through, breaking through..."

The little Daoist's pinching gesture gradually slowed down, his hand movements becoming sluggish.

Yet his muttering voice grew urgent, unconsciously filled with a bit of frenzy:

"No, no, wrong, not like this, not supposed to be so, I must have calculated wrong!

Yes, that's right, I calculated wrong. Let's start over... You, you're being targeted by someone with secret intentions, the tree sways the wind, young fame isn't easy to achieve?

How about you take me as a master, I can protect you on your journey..."

Kongcan pointed at Chen Xu, his words did not finish, but his expression suddenly changed dramatically.

"Not good!"

He only said two more words.

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from his lips.

The blood-spitting little Daoist child was a pitiful sight indeed.

But perhaps it was precisely because he spat out this mouthful of fresh blood, the backlash from fortune-telling on him wasn't too severe.

As a result, Kongcan's first reaction was to quickly wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, he stood up, raised his chin slightly, stubbornly looked at Chen Xu, and said, "I, this Daoist, am fine. If you take me as your master, I can still protect you..."

Before the voice fell, his complexion changed again.

Not good, another surge of reverse blood!

But this time the little Daoist child bit his teeth tightly, stared at Chen Xu, his voice unmoved, yet he suddenly straightened and fell backward.

Goodness, was he going to recreate the scene from the street again?

However, Chen Xu immediately triggered a gentle breeze, holding the little Daoist's body so he wouldn't fall.

Then he moved quickly, flickering beside Kongcan.

Bang!

Kongcan was firmly pressed back into the seat to sit down.

Chen Xu asked, "Are you okay, Daoist Kongcan?"

Kongcan gritted his teeth and said, "This Daoist excels in stars, medicine, and divination, naturally I'm fine."

"Since that's the case, thank you Daoist for the divination, I'll gift this gourd of Spirit Wine to you."

"Good, good!" Kongcan was overjoyed.

The Spirit Wine was handed to Kongcan, the little Daoist took the Spirit Wine, opened his mouth, and drank, swallowing the Spirit Wine and blood back.

"Good wine!" he praised.
