Chapter 97 The Genius Cultivator Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 26) One person reads...

A seemingly ordinary function has brought about many changes to the Ye family's life. In addition to revealing the foodie nature of most of them, people also like to share some cultivation tips on the forum.

The forum's follow, like, and favorite functions are simply addictive. Even Ye Xinghan couldn't resist sharing his sword-training techniques to gain even more popularity.

In the cultivation world, there's no such thing as getting old and having failing eyesight. Several elders have kept up with the times and become addicted to the internet.

Besides the Third Elder, who loves to cook, the First Elder likes to share his experiences from various places, the Second Elder often posts clothing and styling tips, and the Fifth Elder posts the most about his own little fox.

As for the Fourth Elder, he actually used the empty boxes in the Treasure Pavilion to start a blind box business, earning a considerable amount of spirit stones every day, which finally filled up the gaps in the Treasure Pavilion.

With the ease of information dissemination, Ye Xinglan's teaching became much easier. All she had to do was post the courses on the forum, assign papers, and collect homework.

Even grading papers is now done by the system, giving her time to delve into more advanced courses.

With each update to the cheat code, its functions gradually improved, and the creator of the cheat code was extremely satisfied with this user.

Perhaps realizing that English wasn't very useful to her, the English test in the cheat code quest was suddenly removed during a bug fix.

[Ding! Perfect score on the college entrance exam +6879, earning 6879 points. The sea of ​​knowledge is boundless, please keep up the good work!]

An unexpected system notification sounded, and Lin You, who was stacking buffs on Ye Zhen, accidentally spammed the buff on the opposing demonic cultivator.

Faced with the demonic cultivator whose speed had suddenly increased dramatically, Ye Zhen was caught off guard and unable to dodge in time, her vitals directly exposed to the opponent's sharp blade.

Lin You reacted quickly by casting a hand seal, immediately casting a shield on her. Even faster than her reaction was the wolf cub watching from the sidelines.

The tiny ball of fur moved like lightning. Lin You only saw a flash of silver light, followed by a sudden burst of blood. The demonic cultivator, who was already at the Golden Core stage, didn't even have time to cry out before he died instantly.

The wolf cub had cold eyes and a fierce aura. Its body was stained with the blood of the demonic cultivator, and it no longer had the obedient and docile appearance it once had.

Looking at the demonic cultivator with a large hole in his neck, and then at the wolf cub with flesh and blood still on its claws and covered in blood, Ye Zhen frowned.

Ling Ye's imposing aura softened instantly. He cautiously glanced at Ye Zhen's expression, shrank his neck guiltily, and was about to sneak away when Ye Zhen grabbed the back of his neck with two fingers and lifted him up with a look of disgust.

"Ah Ye, you're not completely clueless. How can you use your claws like that? It looks disgusting! Don't move, or you're dead if you get my clothes dirty!"

Ye Zhen stretched out her arm and lifted the wolf cub a little further away before casting a spell to bathe him. "This demonic cultivator is so dirty. What if he has some kind of virus? You didn't bite him, did you?"

Ye Zhen first pried open his mouth to check, and only felt relieved when she saw that there was no blood in his mouth and his teeth were clean. She then washed the little wolf cub five times over and over, and even asked Lin You for shampoo to make sure he was clean.

Looking at the small patch of dark clouds overhead that kept raining, and then at Ye Zhen who kept nagging him about how to develop good hygiene habits, Ling Ye looked utterly hopeless.

He was touched from head to tail, and rubbed over and over several times! This woman is terrifying; she didn't even spare his little bell!

Unable to bear glaring at Ye Zhen, Ling Ye turned his gaze to the culprit. If Lin You hadn't been distracted during the battle, there would have been no need for him to intervene!

Faced with the wolf cub's accusing gaze, Lin You coughed lightly and quietly made a gesture, indicating that he would give up half of the snack inventory as compensation for the emotional and physical trauma he had suffered.

The consequence of forcibly using spiritual power was that the wolf cub's months of recuperation were all wasted; it looked listless, and its fur no longer had its previous shine.

After Ye Zhen cleaned him up, she put him in a small secret realm for seclusion, where the spiritual energy was more concentrated, which was more conducive to healing.

Lin You finally had time to check why the cheat system had been completed, only to find that in addition to the English test being canceled, the tests that her master had assigned to the Ye family disciples and that the system had graded were also counted as long as they were full marks.

The creator of this cheat code must be giving his master a free pass, since it's already updated to version 7.0?

Lin You thoughtfully noted this down in the system's notepad, planning to experiment with it again later.

"Youyou, are you feeling unwell?" Ye Zhen asked when she saw Lin You lost in thought again, but she did not blame her for her mistakes during the battle.

Lin You looked at Ye Zhen for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Zhenzhen, I'm a transmigrator. I came to this world to do missions."

The two spent almost half a year together. Although Ye Zhen's personality wasn't as composed as described in the original story, her essence remained unchanged.

She is a very good friend and a trustworthy person.

"...Huh?" Ye Zhen was stunned for a while. After confirming that she wasn't joking, her focus shifted again. "Then do you have a system too?"

“…There is indeed a system.” Lin You nodded.

"Wow!" Ye Zhen's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked excitedly, "What kind of system is it? Is it one that only issues tasks and gives rewards? Or one that allows you to chat with others? Or one that can reveal your true form?"

Lin You, …………

I'm not some demon or monster that can reveal its true form!

She coughed lightly and downplayed the issue, saying, "It's the cannon fodder rescue system."

She had finally read through most of the system's long list of rules, and now she knew what she could and couldn't say without having to look it up.

Ye Zhen nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "What tasks do you need to complete in this world? What are the rewards for completing the tasks? Are there any penalties for failing? How many worlds have you been to already?"

Lin You couldn't help but facepalm at her question. She hadn't thought much of it when she heard her talking about wolf cubs before, but now she realized that her friend might be a bit of a chatterbox.

"The main task of this world is to prevent the Ye family from being wiped out by demonic cultivators," Lin You replied. "I was distracted earlier because I heard the system notification sound."

Lin You answered some questions, but Ye Zhen didn't press for answers to others. Systems have rules, and she wouldn't force anyone to do something against their will.

Ye Zhen was only curious about this for a short while before she stopped caring and continued to discuss the next stop with Lin You in the same carefree manner as before.

Holding the strategy guide in one hand and flipping through the cultivation novel on her phone with the other, she hesitated, saying:

"Someone in the group posted a food guide for Wuzhou. We originally planned to go to Jingyang City. Wuzhou's barbecue is amazing, but the fish in Jingyang is the best. It's so hard to choose!"

Lin You pulled out a post and handed it to her. "You haven't checked the forum yet, have you? The Third Elder just posted that the white-feathered chicken from Xiangshan paired with hazel mushrooms from Huaishan is extremely delicious and has a calming effect. Quite a few people have already set off."

The post also included a short video of a pot of bubbling chicken and mushroom stew, with brownish-red chicken pieces and tender hazel mushrooms, all swirling in the broth—it looked incredibly tempting.

Ye Zhen glanced at it twice, immediately abandoned her previous hesitation, and quickly pulled Lin You onto the flying sword. As they flew, she said, "I'm going to Huai Mountain to pick mushrooms, and you go to Xiang Mountain to catch chickens. The more the merrier. We'll meet up tomorrow!"

The White Feather Chicken is a low-level ferocious beast, equivalent to the combat power of a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. Its only attack methods are the feathers flapping from its wings and its sharp beak and claws, making it a relatively fragile physical attack type.

Although Lin You was a weakling in combat, she was skilled in controlling her abilities, making it easy for her to deal with such ferocious beasts.

Compared to catching chickens, picking mushrooms is more tedious. Hazel mushrooms grow in the cracks of various dead trees and grasses. There is a kind of mineral on Pianhuai Mountain that can block divine sense, so these mushrooms can only be found little by little with the eyes.

Ye Zhen understood Lin You's personality, so she left the relatively easy tasks to her. Before leaving, she also gave her a protective amulet and a pass to the secret realm.

After parting ways with Lin You, Ye Zhen suppressed her carefree smile, her eyes narrowed, and her aura turned icy, like a drawn sword.

Perhaps due to certain rules, Lin You did not say it explicitly, but from the few words she revealed and her past experiences, Ye Zhen had roughly guessed the original plot.

Saving cannon fodder, the Ye family was wiped out, and then there was the demonic cultivator who appeared in the back mountain and made her heart flutter. If it weren't for Lin You's arrival, she would probably be all alone.

To prevent the Ye family from being wiped out? Of course, she would help with this task!

Xiangshan, Lin You looked at the white-feathered chicken's strong and muscular legs, secretly swallowed, and swiftly cast a control skill, completely unaware that her good friend had already planned to send her to the next world.

The Third Elder's recipes were very influential in the Ye family. By the time Ye Zhen arrived at Huai Mountain, there were already a bunch of people looking for mushrooms.

At a glance, all she saw were familiar figures; Ye Zhen even spotted her junior uncle, Ye Xinghan.

Fortunately, the mountain was large enough, and the protagonist's halo was very useful. By the next day, Ye Zhen had already picked dozens of kilograms of hazel mushrooms.

Lin You, who had specially designed the catching skills based on the white-feathered chicken, also returned with a full catch. When the two met up, they also saw Ye Xinghan, who had come over to freeload a meal.

Of course, it wasn't that Uncle Ye failed to catch chickens or pick mushrooms; he just thought that his two nephews' cooking was tastier.

It's definitely not because he spent half a month learning to cook from the Third Elder and then blew up the kitchen more than ten times.

Looking at the storage bag that Junior Uncle brought over, besides chicken and mushrooms, there were quite a few other things inside, all of which were ingredients mentioned in the Third Elder's recipes.

Some of the dishes were ones that Lin You and Ye Zhen had already eaten, while others were ones that the two of them missed because they were too slow to get them. All in all, there were eighteen dishes.

Judging from the way Junior Martial Aunt has collected a huge amount of ingredients and is still trying to freeload a meal, their master must not know how to cook either.

The thoughtful sisters went straight back to the Ye family and cooked different dishes for their master every day. Even with just white-feathered chicken, they made more than a dozen different dishes.

The dishes, such as poached chicken, braised chicken, Kung Pao chicken, fried chicken pieces, pan-fried chicken cutlets, and crispy roasted chicken, not only look delicious but are also presented exquisitely, truly a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

Ye Xinghan came over for meals every single day without fail. In order to continue eating, he even issued a family mission to collect various ingredients.

Currently, the rewards for the mission are distributed by him personally.

Ye Xinghan, who was used to posting about small things on WeChat Moments and big things on forums, took photos of every meal to show off. In addition to making a group of kids next door drool, she also successfully attracted a group of people who wanted to freeload off her.

The Third Elder, who had been focusing on culinary arts recently, followed the two women into the kitchen. He learned to cook new dishes from them while also teaching them about the compatibility and incompatibility of ingredients.

After using up the ingredients in five storage bags, there were already fifty-seven recipes posted on the Third Elder's forum, each with different bonus attributes.

Some have calming and tranquilizing effects, some detoxify and heal wounds, some restore spiritual power, and some even temporarily increase defense, speed, and attack power.

Although the effects cannot compare to those of elixirs, the method is simpler than alchemy, and most people can make it, except for kitchen disasters like Ye Xinghan.

"These are just the lowest grade ingredients. If better ingredients were used, the effect would probably be not much worse than that of elixirs." The Third Elder was quite satisfied with the results.

Lin You felt something was off. It took her a while to realize that these dishes with attributes were just like the controls in a game!
