"Xiaomi, stop playing tricks. What about the beautiful hostess we were promised? How could you change it without my permission?"

Millet:……

[Host, your face is thicker than a city wall! Beautiful mistress, do you think you're Snow White? I almost cried laughing when I first heard this, hahaha!]

Lu Yulan: ...

"Believe it or not, I'll format you."

[If you don't believe me, thank you.]

"What do you want? Let me out."

Lu Yulan stated that she would resolutely refuse any of its demands and would fight against the evil forces.

[Host, I am the greatest gourmet system. I was sent to various universes in search of delicious food, but Earth has already exploded. I took you with me, expending my own energy in the vast sea of ​​stars, trying to find you. Now that we are both alive, shouldn't we progress together and conquer this realm with our food?]

Lu Yulan: "I refuse."

Millet:……

[Host, I was just joking. You are the most beautiful master in the world. Let's cheer each other on, okay? Let's cheer each other on.] Xiaomi flattered.

【Host, you should know that when the planet exploded, it was me, Xiaomi, who saved you. Now, can't you help me out?】 Xiaomi reasoned with him and appealed to his emotions.

Lu Yulan remained unmoved; she would never admit that she was angry.

But did the Earth explode and I die?

"I don't want to. Who knows what you might do if you try to force me to do something? Let me tell you, I'm determined not to agree. I can grow flowers on my own."

[Host, haven't you noticed that there are no native Earth plants in interstellar space? Most of them have mutated and become aggressive. Is the rice you painstakingly found really any good? Can it compare to fragrant rice? You really don't want it? I can provide you with all sorts of beauty and skincare, breast enhancement, and more – all for free!]

If you have me, you have the bug.

Am I, Lu Yulan, such a shallow person? How could I possibly bow down for a breast enhancement formula?

I have one myself.

Papaya is useless, and there aren't any papayas here.

How did you know?

[Also, this little planet needs to pay a special tax of 50 million every year. Are you sure you don't need Xiaomi to help you, beautiful mistress?]

Lu Yulan: !!!

...

In the end, Lu Yulan agreed to accept the Food System. While called a Food System, it essentially involved exchanging "like points" for seeds and various recipes. Of course, the system needed to take a cut to maintain its operation, and Lu Yulan had to create unique cuisine specific to this planet while using it.

However, fearing that Lu Yulan might refuse, Xiao Mi decided to tell her later.

Lu Yulan wasn't particularly resistant at first, but after a little probing, she realized that she was penniless and had no one else to scheme against.

No wonder Grandpa Lu let him come out without worry; it turns out he was thinking he wouldn't have any money to go back after a year, so he was just treating this trip as a vacation.

Although there was no malice intended, Lu Yulan was a stubborn mule. Even if others thought she couldn't do it, she was determined to make a name for herself.

This is her own career, so she must keep up the good work.

According to Xiaomi, "like value" is a kind of energy that can upgrade it.

As for the original housekeeping system, it was also Xiaomi's protective cover, a front-end program, so it was still Xiaomi that accompanied Lu Yulan.

After accepting this premise, Lu Yulan actively cooperated.

After all, she was self-aware enough to know that she could only cook some simple dishes and her knife skills were just average. In her previous life, she only relied on her good looks to attract fans.

That's shameless, blatantly praising oneself.

This food system is an absolute lifesaver.

After all, 50 million in taxes is a really discouraging number.

"What can I redeem now?"

[The host has already signed the contract, what do you think?]

Lu Yulan then discovered that the several food systems in front of her had turned into two large books and a number.

[You can now open the list of edible plants here. At the bottom, you'll find the required affinity points for redemption. This section also contains recipes, along with brewing techniques and methods. The number represents your current affinity points.]

Lu Yulan first looked at the simplest plant seeds, including scallions, ginger, star anise, and cinnamon, followed by walnuts, osmanthus, and so on.

As for the recipes, there are simple home-style tofu dishes, as well as the Manchu Han Imperial Feast, and of course, the popularity ratings following them are also astonishing.

Lu Yulan looked at her pitiful 100 points of affection.

I guess I can only buy some simple scallions.

The love value here should also be thanked to Grandpa Lu's family. Forty of them were contributed by Lu Yuanhong, twenty-five by Grandpa Lu and his younger brother, and the rest by Yuan Fei and his nephew today.

Why is there no salt?

[Host, if you can do things on your own, don't always rely on me. It puts a lot of pressure on me, and it's difficult for others too.]

"If you keep talking like that, I'll beat you to death, and you too, calling me 'beautiful mistress.' Otherwise, I don't need this broken system; I can make delicious food myself."

Millet:……

[Okay, beautiful hostess, keep it up, beautiful hostess~]

Why are there no animals?

[Beautiful mistress, this is a gourmet system, not an encyclopedia or a collection of strange tales. The required affection level to imprison an animal is ridiculously high. Beautiful mistress, please focus on staying alive first, okay?]

Lu Yulan: ...

I feel like you're discriminating against me.
