Yun Luo transmigrated, becoming the cannon fodder older brother who opposed the universally adored younger brother in an interstellar novel. Facing his family's dislike, the pitifully charming ...
The kitten with its eyes wide open was so adorable that Yun Luo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
“Meow!”
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Xiaobai really doesn't take well to teasing." Yun Luo retracted his hand. "Do you want to eat something?"
"Meow?"
"I wonder if there is anything you can't eat." Yun Luo rubbed the cat's head, took out the food sent by the housekeeper, and placed it in front of Xiaobai.
It is said that this is the food that young exotic beasts like to eat. Yun Luo looked at the lumps of dark red meat and felt a little unsure. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like the type that kittens would like.
The fact was just as Yunluo thought. The kitten just glanced at the piece of meat and then looked away without interest.
The kitten sniffed, its whiskers twitching, and it walked in a certain direction with elegant steps.
"Meow~"
The kitten stood in front of the cabinet, jumped lightly, jumped onto the cabinet, and scratched the metal box on the cabinet.
"You have a good nose. You know there are delicious foods here." In the metal box were fried meat strips made by Yun Luo. He usually used this as a snack. He fried a lot at one time and placed them in this box with heat preservation function.
[007, Can Xiaobai eat these things?] Cats in Yunluo's original world had many dietary restrictions. He wondered if Xiaobai, who looked so similar to a cat, had the same dietary restrictions.
[Edible, brought back by the host... Uh, the alien beast cub is not the cat from the host's original world. His bloodline is very powerful, so he basically has no dietary restrictions.]
After getting the answer, Yun Luo opened the lid of the metal box. In an instant, the tempting aroma seeped out of the box and filled the entire room.
The metal box contains golden fried meat strips, each of which is about the same size and arranged in an orderly manner at the bottom of the box, which makes people drool just by looking at it.
"Meow~ Meow~"
Xiaobai grabbed Yunluo's wrist and couldn't wait to put his head into the box.
"Don't worry, don't worry," Yun Luo reached out to retrieve the cat that was about to fall into the box, "Be careful of burns."
In order to keep it warm, this box has a special heating device. Yun Luo picked up a small bowl with chopsticks and placed it aside.
The kitten stretched out its claws towards the bowl eagerly.
Yun Luo stopped him: "Let it cool down for a while before eating."
"Meow~"
The little white claw struggled out of the hand, was grasped, struggled out again, and was grasped again...
After a few times, the kitten got annoyed and said, "Meow!"
The fried meat strips were almost cold. Yun Luo picked up one and fed it to the kitten: "It's not like I won't give it to you. Why are you yelling so loudly?"
The kitten no longer cared about what Yun Luo was saying. The delicious food in front of him was like a pair of invisible hands that grabbed the person's attention.
The kitten couldn't wait to take a bite, and its eyes widened instantly. At first, it was still reserved, but after two bites, it grabbed Yun Luo's hand and wouldn't let go.
"Meow~ Meow~"
The little tail sweeps back and forth regularly, and the hair on the tail gently brushes against the skin, bringing a slight itch.
The kitten ate very quickly. After a while, the food in the small bowl was gone. The kitten licked its paws, but was still not satisfied. It meowed at the big metal box.
"Still want it?"
Xiaomiao nodded humanely, stretched out a paw and patted Yunluo's wrist, staring intently at the metal box containing the fried meat strips, his meaning was very clear.
When it came to small matters like food, Yunluo always showed his favor to the furry little Yuyu. Seeing the kitten wanted to eat, he didn't restrain him. There wasn't much left in the box, so Yunluo simply took it all out.
This time the kitten didn't come over, but squatted on the other side with dignity, its eyes following Yun Luo's movements. Yun Luo found it funny and took the time to rub the cat's head.
Yun Luo put the remaining meat strips on a large plate and placed it in front of the kitten: "Eat it."
The kitten squatted and didn't move.
After waiting for a long time without Yun Luo showing any intention to feed him, the kitten tilted its head and called out softly, "Meow?"
A pair of beautiful and innocent eyes, as if wondering, aren't you coming to feed your lovely cat?
Who can withstand the head tilt killing?
Yun Luo was so adorable that he picked up the kitten and looked at it, saying angrily, "Why are you so delicate?" But his hands were very honest as he took some fried meat strips to feed the kitten.
"Meow~" The kitten rubbed Yun Luo's wrist and lowered its head to eat the meat.
A large plate of fried meat strips, Yunluo's two-day snack supply, was devoured by the kitten. After finishing the last one, Yunluo looked at the kitten's belly, which had not changed at all. He reached out and touched it. It was soft, warm, and felt great.
I couldn't help but rub it for a while longer. The kitten was full and didn't mind having its belly touched. It was so comfortable that it turned over and lay on Yunluo's legs with its belly facing up, making it easier for Yunluo to rub it.
Yun Luo touched his soft belly and asked in surprise: "Where did you eat all this?"
The kitten ate something that was almost twice its own size, but its stomach didn't change at all and was still flat.
"Meow~" The kitten hugged Yun Luo's hand and refused to let him go.
Yun Luo's entire hand was sunk into the fur, his wrist was encircled, and even the tail wrapped around him, hooking onto his fingers.
She's such a spoiled brat. Yun Luo immediately put aside his doubts. What's the big deal if she can eat a little? It's not like he can't afford to support her.
With a cat who only cares about eating, the opening of Lingyun Manor cannot be delayed. No matter what hardship, the cat must not suffer.
It just so happened that the issue of the supply of exotic beast meat had been almost discussed with the planetary governor. After Yun Luo once again checked the interior layout of the building and confirmed that there was no problem, he decided to open the business.
There were so many people waiting for him to open his business that the buzz of the radio never stopped as soon as the news was released.
Even though the butler knew that his young master's cooking was popular, he was still shocked by the scene.
Seeing the housekeeper looking dazed, Yun Luo asked, "What's wrong?"
At this moment, he was holding a cat, sitting leisurely on a large sofa, stroking the cat with one hand and controlling the transparent screen in the air with the other hand, preparing dishes for the first day of opening.
The butler was too shocked to answer.
Yun Luo closed the window, sat up straight, and asked, "Didn't anyone make an appointment?"
This was Yun Luo's first time opening a shop. Previously, he'd opened shops on a whim, perhaps every other week when he was in the mood, but often not opening for two or three years when he wasn't. In his old world, a single spiritual letter fetched a staggering price. Only a spiritual letter could certify Yun Luo's craftsmanship. Unfortunately, only ten spiritual letters were ever released at a time, and even at the high price, crowds of people scrambled to snatch them up.
Sometimes people would send precious food ingredients to Yun Luo, and if Yun Luo was in a good mood, he would be lucky enough to receive an extra spiritual letter. This led to countless people coming to Yun Luo with all the precious food ingredients they could find.
This time, Yun Luo opened up reservations, which was a partial imitation of the past model. Could it be that his cooking skills were not very attractive to the people of this world? Judging from the previous times, it shouldn't be.
"No," the housekeeper came back to his senses, his tone a little drifting, "It's not that no one has made an appointment, but that there are too many people who have made an appointment."
The butler showed Yun Luo the reservation information: "Not only do people from our planet Somir want to make a reservation, but there are also many people from other star systems who want to make a reservation."
After seeing the number of people who wanted to make an appointment, Yun Luo was silent for a moment, then said, "I guessed that there would be quite a few people who wanted to make an appointment, but I didn't expect there would be so many."
"Young Master, how should we arrange these people?"
"Come in batches, according to time. Not only can I not handle so many people by myself, but Lingsheng Building also cannot accommodate so many people at once." Yun Luo made the decision.
The housekeeper was worried: "Isn't it a bad idea to do this on the first day of business?"
007 also advised: "Host, the butler's concerns are not without reason. Your business in this world has just begun. Moreover, who wouldn't want as many people as possible on their opening day? We can't turn guests away."
"You're right. I was inconsiderate. It's inappropriate to do this on the first day of business." Yun Luo thought for a moment and said, "I'll think of a solution."
[Ding—Task refreshed. Host, please obtain 2,000 points of favor within seven days. Mission reward: 50,000 points. Failure penalty: endure level 10 pain once. Host, please complete the mission as soon as possible.]
Before I could think of a solution, the system task came down first.
What's the penalty for mission failure? What's involuntary behavior? And... Wasn't there no penalty for failure before?
007 was also confused at this time: [Host, I don't know. No small side quests have been released since the upgrade. I thought they were cancelled. Host, wait, I'll go check.]
【Um. 】
Not long after, 007 returned with a sad face. [After the system upgrade, the failure penalty and the success reward are bundled into the same installation package, and each time a mission is released, it is randomly refreshed.]
In other words, what rewards you will get or what punishments you will suffer if you fail a mission will all depend on your luck.
[This upgrade is specifically targeting Africans, right?] Thinking of his usual unlucky luck, 007 felt a surge of despair.
[It's okay, I've always had good luck.]
007: [……]
Any draw will get you an S+ level restaurant, and going out for a walk will bring you back an eighth level alien beast cub. Compared with the host's luck, 007 becomes even more autistic.
"Sir, come and take a look. That mutant rice plant, it, it..." Colin ran out of breath, supporting himself with his knees and gasping for breath.
"What's going on?" Yun Luo stood up and left. He had injected spiritual power into the mutant rice last night and did not find anything abnormal.
Colin: “Yes…”
"The mutant plants in the west courtyard have gone crazy," explained Yun Ye, who arrived just after Colin. "Colin just brought me there. I don't know what's going on, but the highest-level mutant plant is frantically attacking anything that comes close."
The manor was too big, and the mutant rice plants were in the more remote west yard, so it took quite a while to walk there. Before he even got close, Yun Luo felt a huge surge of spiritual power.
"Is there anyone else in the yard?" Yun Luo asked.
"No, I asked everyone to leave as soon as I found something wrong." Colin knew how much Yun Luo valued the mutant rice, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.
The yard was filled with frenzied energy, and several low-level mutant rice plants were uprooted. In the frenzied energy, they attacked the third-level mutant rice in the center of the energy in vain.
Yun Luo and the other two stood outside the yard, unable to get close.
That third-level mutant rice is about to advance.
Yun Luo frowned, he always felt that something was wrong. It seemed that this mutant rice was doing more than just advancing.
Some change had occurred in it that he hadn't noticed.
