Chapter 3: A Side of Hell
The punishment with an intensity of 2 has already caused him deep anguish, while a punishment with an intensity of 5 would cost him his life
Ah... um, I've noted everything down. Can you teach me how to eat now?" Su Xiang snapped back to reality and said with a苦脸.
Su Xiang listened attentively to Adriana's words, making a conscious effort to remember them
At this moment, his stomach also appropriately grumbled twice.
The punishment of intensity one from the Tenglong Growth Assistant Device was achieved through the stimulation of nerve endings, leaving no wounds on the body. Su Xiang could never have imagined that the punitive measures of the Tenglong Growth Assistant Device were inspired by the most advanced neural interrogation machines in the future universe. These facilities can extract confessions from spies without leaving any marks on their bodies, thus preventing accusations of human rights violations from intergalactic human rights organizations.

When Su Xiang finished his shower, changed into a well-fitted, luxurious suit, and sat in the opulent dining room of the Tenglong No. 1 residence, he still felt as if he were dreaming. Although he had lost count of how many times he had secretly pinched himself, each successive pinch brought a sharper pain that clearly indicated to him—everything related to this book was not a dream. What he was currently enjoying was indeed first-class service from the future
Su Xiang let out a scream akin to that of a slaughtered pig, as if his back had been struck hard by a whip soaked in chili water. The fiery, intense pain instantly spread throughout his body along the nerve endings, causing a heart-wrenching agony.
As soon as the words fell, a woman who resembled a medieval castle housekeeper appeared out of thin air beside Xiaodie. She bowed to Su Xiang and said with a stern expression: "Young Master Su, the dining etiquette class is about to begin"
Su Xiang nodded, preparing to listen to Adriana's teachings
"Since Young Master Su has already taken note, please answer me a few questions. What are the characteristics of Western cuisine?" Adriana's expression was icy
For some reason, Su Xiang felt that his memory seemed to be much stronger than before. After Adriana finished her lengthy introduction, he surprisingly managed to remember most of it quite well
"Young Master Su, I will say this one last time, and I hope you will listen carefully," Adriana said coldly
Seeing Su Xiang's expression of being enlightened and the books, Adriana revealed a faint smile of satisfaction on her face, but that smile quickly vanished. With a cold expression, she slowly said: "The term Western cuisine comes from ... ... "
"Brother, the punishment of level two has been completed. Please be advised that loud talking during meals is strictly prohibited; otherwise, you will receive a punishment of level one." Xiao Die smiled sweetly, her cheeks displaying a charming smile, yet Su Xiang inexplicably shivered.
Ah, thank you
It was indeed my fault just now. I was fortunate to obtain a growth assistance device that others could only dream of, yet I did not know how to cherish it properly and even had the leisure to daydream. This is truly disappointing!
Su Xiang was unaware that the Tenglong Growth Assistance Device is a remarkable invention, within which a person's memory can be enhanced to a certain extent
The term "Western cuisine" originates from China on the primitive planet Earth, where China was located in the East Asian region. The Western cuisine they referred to primarily includes the culinary dishes of Western European countries, and of course, it also encompasses the countries of Eastern Europe, those along the Mediterranean coast, and some Latin American countries such as Mexico. Western cuisine generally employs knives and forks as utensils, with bread as the staple food, and is often served on long rectangular tables. The main characteristics of Western cuisine are the prominence of the main ingredients, aesthetic presentation, delightful flavors, rich nutrition, and convenient service. Western cuisine can be broadly categorized into French, English, Italian, Russian, and American styles. Adriana spoke knowledgeably about the origins, development, characteristics, classifications, and the major schools of Western cuisine currently present in the universe.
Threat, this is indeed a blatant threat
Suddenly, Su Xiang recalled what Xiao Die had said during her self-introduction: "I am your daily life assistant, Xiao Die, responsible for your daily life, study task records, rewards and punishments, consultations, and other duties"
Adriana's voice suddenly rose by an octave: "Young Master Su, did you take note of everything I just said?"
However, Su Xiang did not voice any protest; instead, he straightened his posture and nodded solemnly.
Su Xiang gritted his teeth and endured three punishments of intensity one, not daring to let out a cry of pain. Just moments ago, Xiao Die had already reminded him that loud noises were prohibited during meals, otherwise, he would face a punishment of intensity one. Su Xiang certainly did not want to suffer an additional punishment of intensity one for no reason.
"Brother, your dinner." Little Die said to Su Xiang, who was lost in thought, with a bright smile.
The heart-wrenching pain struck like a sudden blow, awakening Su Xiang
"Young Master Su, please listen carefully this time," Adriana said coldly. "Otherwise, I have the right to increase the intensity of your punishment to 5"
Ah, yes
Brother, you have answered three questions incorrectly in total, and will receive three penalties of intensity one. However, since you answered seventeen questions correctly, the system has determined that the penalty intensity will be halved, so you will receive three penalties of intensity 0.5. Given that you are using the Golden Enhanced Version of the Tenglong Growth Assistant, all penalty intensities will be doubled from the original, thus you will receive three penalties of intensity one, to be executed immediately!" Xiao Die said sweetly.
The characteristics of Western cuisine... The characteristics of Western cuisine are that it comes from the West and is quite expensive... Su Xiang said, blushing and speaking nonsense.
One cannot continue to be so ordinary and complacent; it is essential to change oneself and start anew
Is this what punishment and reward are? Is corporal punishment in the future world so severe? Su Xiang twisted his face and touched his back, strangely finding no wounds at all.
Su Xiang was immediately taken aback by the caviar, ivory spoon, knives, and forks in front of him—Western cuisine? Is it really Western cuisine? How does one eat this
At first, Su Xiang was quite interested, but as he listened, he couldn't help but become distracted; those topics were simply too dull and tedious
"Brother, the dining etiquette course has been automatically initiated. Miss Adriana is at your service," Xiao Die said with a slight smile
The melodious music continued to play softly, yet Su Xiang's feelings underwent a dramatic transformation: Is this truly paradise? Can paradise have such severe punitive measures? Is this not hell?
"Brother, you answered incorrectly." Little Die smiled sweetly and said, "According to the system settings, if you answer the teacher's question incorrectly, you will receive a punishment of level one. Since you are using the Golden Enhanced Version of the Tenglong Growth Assistant, all punishment levels will be doubled, so you will receive a punishment of level two, which will be executed immediately!"
