Chapter 292 My Lord, You've Finally Arrived
Chapter 292 My Lord, You've Finally Arrived
Just when Chu Dashu was in despair, the book distributed by the system finally arrived.
"Another cheat ability?" Could it be that Chu Dashu is destined to be the male protagonist of a web novel?
Chu Dashu shakily clicked on the glowing book, "Jianbing guozi, grilled cold noodles, scallion pancakes, egg burgers, fried chicken..."
Late at night, Chu Dashu made himself hungry just by watching.
However, after reading it, he understood that it seemed to be a food-themed novel, so what kind of cheat code was this?
To provide some spiritual comfort to his impoverished ancient life?
But seeing something you can't have is even harder to bear!
Fortunately, he finally saw the word "donate" at the very end. He was familiar with this; he used to donate when he watched short videos, commented, liked, or saved them, especially if he really liked them.
Chu Dashu touched the last little bit of silver he had hidden away, feeling a little reluctant to part with it.
In his memory, this was the silver Chu Dashu had received this month from a lucky customer who tipped him. If he took it home, it would be enough for his family to eat for several months.
But this book is so magical, what if he gives it a tip and gets something good in return? Wouldn't that be a huge windfall?
After much hesitation, Chu Dashu gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.
When he placed that small lump of silver on the book, something magical happened.
The book suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and then the silver disappeared.
Chu Dashu was overjoyed. He knew the book had other uses, but he didn't know what he would get in return after giving the book as a reward.
Chu Dashu rubbed his hands together, staring expectantly at the book.
A second passed, a minute passed, an hour passed, and Chu Dashu's eyes grew dizzy from waiting, but still nothing happened.
He couldn't have been scammed, could he? That's impossible. It's probably just that the reward redemption takes time.
Chu Dashu, with anticipation in his heart, fell into a deep sleep.
In his dream, he dreamed that after he gave a reward of silver, a steaming hot jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) appeared on the book.
He couldn't wait to pick up a jianbing guozi and take a bite; the familiar deliciousness instantly spread in his mouth.
It tastes just like the original!
Then the book listed grilled cold noodles, stinky tofu, scallion pancakes, egg burgers, fried dough sticks, and fried chicken... Oh dear, which one should he choose?
Chu Dashu was struggling with which one to eat first when he was suddenly slapped awake.
"It's dawn, big tree!"
Startled awake, Chu Dashu found himself still in ancient times. The glowing book was still shining, but none of the food from his dream had appeared. He was extremely disappointed.
Sigh, what else can I do but keep working?
After finishing his day's work, Chu Dashu went to the Chef God System the moment he lay down on the bed.
I don't need to chop radishes today, I'll chop potatoes instead.
"This Great An Dynasty is quite strange, they even have sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn!" Chu Dashu muttered to himself. Fortunately, with these foods, although Chu Dashu's family was poor, they were still able to eat their fill.
Chu Dashu diligently chopped the small potatoes he had pilfered from the kitchen; the potatoes were barely the size of his fist.
Don't ask him why he didn't buy potatoes before. Just say he couldn't afford them; potatoes are more expensive than radishes.
After chopping a small potato, Chu Dashu was at a loss, staring at the completely unresponsive experience bar.
"Dog System!"
After cursing the system once again, Chu Dashu prepared to read the book one more time before going to sleep.
There's nothing I can do if I can't eat it, but I can at least read a book. At least I might be able to eat it in my dreams.
Just as he was trying to savor the taste of the jianbing guozi, Lin Liuyi's invitation finally arrived.
"My lord, you've finally arrived!"
As soon as the video call connected, Lin Liuyi saw the reader on the other end of the line bursting into tears. What was going on?
Will we run into another life-threatening situation?
Lin Liuyi's heart started trembling again, but thankfully, Chu Dashu calmed down after venting his frustrations.
"I'm sorry, please excuse my behavior. I just couldn't help myself when I saw someone from my hometown." Chu Dashu wiped his face and rubbed his nose.
"Fellow villager?" Lin Liuyi looked at the other person's bun hairstyle and short clothes, then looked at his own clothes.
A shocking conclusion was reached: "You time-traveled?"
Chu Dashu nodded repeatedly, and before Lin Liuyi could ask, he told her everything, emphasizing how miserable he was.
"You already have a system, how can you say you're miserable?"
Lin Liuyi said that people with cheat codes have nothing to be miserable about.
"I have a system, but I have no money!" Chu Dashu said wearily.
What kind of "Master Chef System" is this? It's more like a money-devouring system.
Without money, he can't buy ingredients; without ingredients, he can't gain experience; without experience, he can't level up; without leveling up, he can't become a master chef; and without becoming a master chef, he has no money.
A perfect closed loop, otherwise Chu Dashu would be worried.
Lin Liuyi felt it was indeed a bit tragic; the system, which had nothing at all, seemed like a useless piece of junk.
It is a pity that it is tasteless.
"So how would you like me to help you?" Since they were from the same hometown, Lin Liuyi was not stingy with his help.
"Um, could you give me a jianbing guozi first?" Chu Dashu asked hesitantly.
Dude, I was all prepared for you to spend money to smash the system, but you said you wanted a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe).
Perhaps Lin Liuyi's gaze was too obvious, so Chu Dashu had to explain.
"Didn't I get hungry while reading?"
He got hungry while watching it, but he quickly went to sleep, hoping to eat something in his dreams.
Now that Lin Liuyi is here, why not hurry up and get a copy?
Seeing the other person staring at him expectantly, Lin Liuyi decisively went to Wen Li's place and asked for a copy to send to Chu Dashu.
As soon as Chu Dashu got the jianbing guozi, he immediately moved to another spot and wolfed it down.
Lin Liu was speechless; he had never seen anyone insist on eating jianbing guozi (a type of Chinese crepe) next to a toilet.
Chu Dashu opened his blood-red maw and swallowed the pancake in a few bites.
"Thank you, thank you! Ugh, I'll go somewhere else first!"
After finishing his pancake, Chu Dashu quickly held his breath and moved to a corner, afraid that he might not be able to hold it in and throw up the pancake he had just eaten.
"I'm afraid the smell will be too strong and someone will find out!" Fearing Lin Liuyi might misunderstand, he quickly made up an explanation.
After finishing a pancake, Chu Dashu finally felt a sense of happiness and fulfillment.
To be honest, after Chu Dashu's performance, Lin Liuyi felt a little sorry for his brother and sent him some snacks to put in his culinary space.
Speaking of this culinary space, Chu Dashu wanted to curse. This space could only hold food and seasonings; everything else was rejected.
In addition, Chu Dashu was so poor before that his culinary space only contained some snacks given to him by Lin Liuyi.
In addition, Lin Liuyi expressed his curiosity about his culinary space and offered to sponsor him some large radishes so that he could practice his knife skills.
