In the kitchen.

Akemi was focused on washing dishes by the sink, the soap on her hands sliding off with the water, when she suddenly heard Ran's surprised exclamation.

"Mingmei, look!"

"What's wrong?"

Mingmei paused in her actions and turned around.

Xiaolan looked on in surprise, her big eyes wide open, her finger pointing straight at the baking oven on the shelf.

The baking oven she usually used to carefully make all kinds of delicious desserts was now shrouded in a strange white light. The white light was not dazzling, but it had a mysterious hazy feeling, as if it isolated the baking oven from the surrounding space.

And then the white light slowly dissipated like morning mist.

The original boxy-looking machine has been completely transformed.

Now, it presents a streamlined design. The material of the stove body looks like top-grade stainless steel, but it also has a soft, light gold luster. The originally simple control panel has now become more technological, with a row of round buttons neatly arranged, each button engraved with an exquisite cell pattern.

Above the button is a high-definition LCD screen.

"This is……"

The maid's eyes lit up as she thought of something.

She had witnessed this scene before; the translation of konjac had also taken place right under her nose, transforming it into the extraordinary item that everyone in her family had eaten.

"Young Master Yuzuru has made a new prop again."

"Oh, is this Nan's new prop?"

"I think so..."

When Yuzuru walked into the kitchen with a half-eaten watermelon, he saw two girls marveling at the newly renovated baking oven.

"So, do you like this new prop?"

He leaned against the doorframe and laughed.

Akemi turned around and asked happily, "I knew it was Yuzuru-sama's new prop. What's it called this time?"

"The Gourmet Cell Baking Oven, simply put, can make desserts with attributes." Yuzuru stepped forward, his fingers gently tracing the smooth surface of the oven. "Moreover, depending on the maker's culinary skills, it can produce various special effects."

"Special effects?" Xiaolan tilted her head. "Like...?"

"For example..." Yuzuru leaned closer to her ear with a mischievous grin, "a snack that can make our little angel Ran even cuter?"

Xiao Lan's pretty face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple: "Nan!"

Akemi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Then... how about we try it now?"

"certainly."

The three of them got right to work. Mingmei immediately took out a plate of cookie dough that she had made that afternoon from the refrigerator. She had originally planned to bake them for afternoon tea the next day, but now it came in handy.

Yuzuru took the plate and looked at it.

Each cookie dough has a different animal pattern on it.

"Mingmei has such a childlike heart~" he teased as he approached the Gourmet Cell Baking Oven. Suddenly, the LCD screen on the oven lit up, displaying a line of text:

Welcome to the Gourmet Cell Baking Oven! Please add your ingredients.

"Wow, it can talk!" Xiaolan exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.

"No, it's clearly typing."

While correcting Xiaolan's mistakes, Yusheng Nan gently touched the oven door, which immediately slid open silently. The interior space was much larger than before, with an ingenious layered design and adjustable temperature, allowing for the simultaneous production of various types of desserts.

Place the cookie dough on the middle baking tray, and the oven door will close automatically.

As he pressed the start button, the oven immediately emitted a soft hum. Through the viewing window, he could see the cookies turning golden brown at a visible speed, with a faint halo around their surface.

Akemi watched intently from the side, noting down every step Yuzuru took. Only after he finished did she ask, "Young Master Yuzuru, is this all?"

"Hmm." Yu Shengnan explained, "Although it's now called the Gourmet Cell Baking Oven, it works the same way you would when making desserts. The only difference is that the desserts you make will have random special effects. You just need to follow the usual procedure."

"I see..." the maid said thoughtfully.

While the cookies were baking, the three of them also made a dessert. Akemi took out cream and fruit from the refrigerator, Ran skillfully beat the eggs, and Hanyu Nan was in charge of kneading the dough.

Soon, a plate of semi-finished macarons was ready.

Ten minutes later, with a "ding," the baking is complete.

A line of text appeared on the LCD screen:

[Baking Complete - Result: Animal Ears]

"Beast ears? What does that mean?" Xiao Lan's eyes were full of confusion as she leaned close to the screen, her nose almost touching it.

Akemi stood to the side, her slender fingers lightly tapping her chin: "Do you mean the cookies will turn into the shapes of small animals?"

Today she was wearing that light blue apron, her long hair loosely tied back, with a few unruly strands falling beside her cheeks, adding a touch of domestic gentleness to her appearance.

"Why don't you just open it and see?"

Yuzuru leaned against the kitchen counter, deliberately dragging out his words, his eyes scanning back and forth between the two girls like a fox waiting for its prey to take the bait.

The oven door slid open automatically, and a sweet aroma wafted out.

From the appearance alone, the cookies on the plate look no different from ordinary cookies, except that the eyes of each little animal pattern are particularly lively, as if they will blink at any moment.

"It looks...normal." Xiaolan carefully picked up a rabbit-shaped biscuit and examined it closely under the light.

The cookies are golden and crispy, with slightly upturned rabbit ears and chocolate eyes, making them look adorable.
