[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, explain to me why it's SS."
System: [Host, you know I'm innocent too.]
Ruan Tian: "You're innocent my ass! I had no idea!"
System: [I never expected your luck to be so bad, host.]
The system paused briefly at this point, then continued:
[But in a way, host, you're quite lucky.]
What's this called?
It's unbelievable that both the luckiest and unluckiest person can have the same fate.
Ruan Tian, you're unbeatable!
System: [Host, I believe in you. At least you didn't get a 3S.]
Ruan Tian was furious: "You still want me to get a 3S?!"
Looking back now, Ruan Tian realizes that Ye Mofeng, who has an A-level difficulty level, is simply an invaluable angel!
System: [Host, you are a genius. Even the most twisted target can be won over by your charm.]
Ruan Tian: "Thank you, but there's no need. By the way, System, could you give me a spoiler about the difficulty level of the characters I'll be pursuing later?"
She really couldn't take it anymore; Ye Mofeng and Bai Chulan were still relatively normal people.
Will there be zombies among her targets later on?
Just thinking about it for a moment made Ruan Tian get goosebumps.
System: [Host, as I've said before, you have both great and terrible luck.]
Ruan Tian: "What do you mean by that?"
The system explained to Ruan Tian that among the seven targets, only one was an A-level, and that was Ye Mofeng.
[The host drew the easiest level right from the start, but what follows are all monster-level challenges.]
Ruan Tian was stunned. She had never imagined that Ye Mofeng would be the easiest person to win over.
This attempt to win over Bai Chulan was completely accidental.
If it weren't for the fact that Ruan Tian's cooking could heal Bai Chulan's wounds, and that Bai Chulan's special ability could only heal others, not himself...
Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for Ruan Tian to successfully win over Bai Chulan within a week.
The next target is named "Yul," and her difficulty level is SS.
Ruan Tian asked worriedly, "Where is Yu'er? If he's far away, I'll have to set off today."
System: [Let me check for the host.]
Ruan Tian pleaded, "Please, please don't let it be B City! I beg you, that place is beyond my current capabilities!"
Perhaps God overheard Ruan Tian's thoughts, for the system quickly replied:
[Sorry, host, it is indeed City B.]
"Huh? System, what do you mean by that? It really is City B? You're not kidding me?"
[Of course, when have I ever joked with you, host, about serious matters?]
Ruan Tian could no longer laugh.
B City is such a dangerous, deserted city, and then there's Yul, who's at SS difficulty in the strategy guide...
Ruan Tianzhi felt that her future was bleak!
She rolled over helplessly, resigned to her fate, knowing there were no other chances to draw lots.
Since I've already drawn Yul, I might as well accept my fate.
Bai Chulan keenly sensed something was wrong with Ruan Tian and asked:
"What's wrong? You were fine just now, why did you suddenly become so downcast?"
Ruan Tian opened her eyes with a bitter expression, muttering to herself:
"Bai Chulan, if it were really possible, I would like to stay with you forever, but there's no way. I guess this is my fate."
Hearing Ruan Tian's dejected voice, Bai Chulan was stunned for a moment.
"What exactly happened?"
After saying that, he suddenly seemed to remember something, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:
"Is it the next person?"
Ruan Tian knew she couldn't hide it from Bai Chulan, so she gave a sullen reply.
Bai Chulan lowered his eyes, raised his hand, and gently placed it on Ruan Tian's back.
Soon, Ruan Tian noticed a warm sensation on her back, which was the light energy transmitted by Bai Chulan.
"I have completely cleared the snake venom from your body."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian suddenly sat up, as if suddenly enlightened:
"I had completely forgotten that I still had snake venom in my body!"
Bai Chulan was amused by Ruan Tian's reaction. He pursed his lips and stared at Ruan Tian with his amber eyes for a while.
Then, taking advantage of Ruan Tian's momentary daze, he suddenly leaned forward and kissed her neck.
"Eh!!"
Ruan Tian subconsciously pressed down on Bai Chulan's shoulder and pushed him away twice.
Bai Chulan pressed Ruan Tian's hands down, pinning her firmly to the ground. His lips parted slightly, and his sharp canines left bite marks on Ruan Tian's neck.
After realizing what was happening, Ruan Tian became a little anxious and frowned, shouting:
"Bai Chulan, are you a dog? Why did you bite me!"
Although Bai Chulan is very beautiful, they are still a man and a woman alone together!
This...this won't do, will it?
Bai Chulan quickly stepped back, wiped his lips, and glanced at the golden pentagram mark that had appeared on Ruan Tian's neck without him noticing. He then spoke calmly:
"This is a marker."
"ah?!"
Following Bai Chulan's gaze, Ruan Tian subconsciously touched the pentagram mark on her neck with her fingertips, suddenly curious about what it looked like.
So she summoned her electric tricycle and used the rearview mirror to see the pentagram mark clearly.
When your fingertips touch it, it doesn't hurt at all; it even gives off a faint warmth.
The lines of the pentagram seem to merge with the blood, making one's heart beat in sync with the pulse.
"Bai Chulan, what exactly is this thing?"
Bai Chulan stared at Ruan Tian and explained, "This thing can save your life in a critical moment."
One of Bai Chulan's abilities is to leave a contract mark on those he approves of.
"When you are about to lose vital signs, the light energy contained within it can heal your wounds, which can be described as bringing you back from the dead."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian's eyes lit up instantly.
Isn't this equivalent to... having a second life?!
But Ruan Tian quickly became embarrassed: "Isn't it inappropriate to give me this?"
"It's really not good."
Bai Chulan chuckled lightly, not only not refuting but also nodding in agreement.
But after Ruan Tian showed a sad expression, she suddenly smiled and said:
"I was just kidding. I can only use this contract once, and I can only make it with one person in this lifetime."
Bai Chulan slowly raised his hand, his fingertips gently tracing the five-pointed star mark on Ruan Tian's neck, and whispered:
"I'm giving you this only chance."
Ruan Tian was so moved that she burst into tears. She stepped forward and hugged Bai Chulan's waist, sobbing as she said:
"Young Master Bai! This old servant is willing to follow you to the death! I will never leave you in this life!"
“Oh,” Bai Chulan said calmly, “then can you stay?”
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian immediately sat up straight, wiped away the small tears from the corners of her eyes, and said dryly:
"That won't do. You know, I was forced into it."
Bai Chulan: "..."
True feelings were wasted.
