[Gourmet food + light-hearted comedy + alluring female lead + power-up progression, mindless爽文 (satisfying read) not recommended for overthinking]. Gourmet NPC Ruan Tian transmigrated into a post-a...
"System, am I seeing things? Why do I see a bunch of man-eating flowers around Jing Zhenxu?"
[Host, you're not seeing things. There really are a bunch of man-eating plants around him. I advise you to go save him now; these plants have been starving for a long time.]
"Of course I know, but have you ever seen a man-eating flower that looks like this!"
From Ruan Tian's perspective, the carnivorous flower, which was originally quite pleasing to the eye, has become extremely menacing, with a ring of sharp teeth inside that already resembles shark teeth.
"You want me to fight these monsters? System, do you really think so highly of me?!"
[Host, you should know that strength and courage are things you can always find if you're willing to put in the effort.]
"Hehe, thank you so much! You're treating me like a sponge! And squeezing me even more, I feel like squeezing your head off!"
[But host, from a certain perspective, I have no head; I am merely a vague and ethereal soul.]
"You've become arrogant now?"
[If that's how you see it, then there's nothing I can do about it.]
Ruan Tian knew that there was no point in arguing with the system any longer, because she simply couldn't win an argument with the system's personality!
"Forget it, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Let's think about how I should get there now and save Inoko."
The best way is for Ruan Tian to get on a tricycle and drive there.
With Snow White's protective shield, these carnivorous plants were no match for her.
Ruan Tian understood all the reasons, but...
She helplessly raised her hand to her forehead, "I can't even imagine this scene, it must be very beautiful."
When princes rescue princesses, they always ride tall and majestic white horses.
But Ruan Tian was different; when she went to rescue Jing Zhenxu, she drove an electric tricycle, which was not impressive or imposing at all.
"Forget it! Saving lives is the priority; aesthetics are another matter!"
Ruan Tian acted quickly, summoning Snow White and striding forward with great momentum.
Fortunately, after Snow White evolved, the noise from starting the motor decreased significantly, so it didn't disturb the other plants that were still dormant.
Ruan Tian swallowed hard, stepped on the gas, and sped straight toward the carnivorous plant.
The carnivorous plants also noticed Ruan Tian's arrival. They all turned around, but before they could react, Snow White's front wheel crushed the bottom leaves of one of the carnivorous plants.
Ruan Tian's face froze instantly. She gasped. Although no one was pressing down on her, her feet were already starting to ache.
Some juice even splashed out and scattered on the surrounding grass.
"Um, well... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"
Ruan Tian gritted her teeth, steeled her heart, and slammed on the gas pedal, running over the carnivorous plant in front of her!
Sensing the threat and pain, the carnivorous plants launched attacks on Ruan Tian, wishing they could bite her to death.
But their teeth couldn't harm Ruan Tian. With Snow White's protective shield, they couldn't hurt Ruan Tian even a little bit, no matter how hard they tried.
There were just too many of these man-eating plants. Ruan Tian drove Snow White and crushed them all in her path, killing countless man-eating plants in the process.
A "crackling" sound came from the air; it was the juice from the man-eating flower bursting out, making Ruan Tian's ears ache.
"System, do you think what I'm doing counts as killing?"
Well, whatever you think it is, that's what it will be.
Ruan Tian finally arrived near Jing Zhenxu. The number of man-eating flowers around her had decreased significantly, making it less dangerous than before.
She exhaled a long breath and immediately transformed the electric tricycle into a house, enveloping her and Jing Zhenxu inside.
With the house providing protection, Ruan Tian was finally able to see Jing Zhenxu's face clearly.
She carefully turned Jing Zhenxu's body over, and when her gaze fell on his face, she was immediately amazed.
Jing Zhenxu is also very good-looking. Although she is not as glamorous as Gu Yi and Bai Chulan, she looks very comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
Even when she was unconscious, she exuded a kind and benevolent aura, a quality that was very attractive.
"System, why do I feel like he looks a lot like a well-behaved little lamb? You know what I mean? Like the boy next door."
[Host, I understand what you mean. At the same time, I also feel that the people you've been encountering so far are all of different types.]
[I must say, what Bai Chulan said before was absolutely right. The way you are right now, host, really does resemble a sex card collector; you could have a whole stack of different types of men.]
Ruan Tian: "..."
She inexplicably started to feel guilty again, not knowing what to say to the system. She subconsciously wanted to refute the system, but the words were already on the tip of her tongue, and in the end, she said nothing.
Ruan Tian gently patted Jing Zhenxu's face and called out:
"Jing Zhenxu, are you alright now?"
System: [Based on my years of experience, I suspect Ino's current injuries are due to hunger.]
"ah?"
Ruan Tian never expected that Jing Zhenxu was actually hungry...
She looked down and noticed that Jing Zhenxu was holding a large schoolbag in her arms.
With great effort, Ruan Tian finally managed to pull the large backpack out of Jing Zhenxu's arms, and she looked down at it carefully.
This backpack looks ordinary, but it's filled with all sorts of food!
Obtaining so much food in this apocalypse is no easy feat.
Jing Zhenxu has achieved so much, she must have put in a lot of effort.
Ruan Tian was even more confused. Why wouldn't Jing Zhenxu eat all the food she had received?
Even though he was so hungry that his stomach problems flared up, and he was attacked by so many carnivorous plants, he still refused to eat the food.
Why would anyone be so stupid?!
Ruan Tian shook her head helplessly, then thought of Jing Zhenxu's experience. He was not only alone, but also had a whole family of awful people to support.
Now, Ruan Tian finally understood why Jing Zhenxu didn't want to eat these foods.
It's all because of those parasites' demands!
Their superpowers are all useless; their entire family depends on Jing Zhenxu for support.
So even though Imamoto had so much food, those people wouldn't let him eat it; they only told him to take it back with him.
A nameless anger welled up in Ruan Tian's heart. She thought about how when she met Jing Zhenxu earlier, he was unwilling to eat anything from his backpack.
Even with so many carnivorous plants around him, he held the backpack tightly in his arms before falling unconscious.
Ruan Tian reorganized the backpack and placed it next to Jing Zhenxu.
If you want to gain Ino's gratitude points, you'll definitely have to meet that awful family.
Just thinking about it in her mind was enough to give Ruan Tian a headache.
