Ye Yubai changed into the shirt that Ye Jingyu no longer wanted, with a button missing from the sleeve, and the suit pants that he no longer wanted, with a loose thread showing at the hem, and resignedly went to the kitchen to cook.

"I'll hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer you all to death!" Ye Yubai, pounding the pork tenderloin slices with a small hammer, was filled with resentment, treating the meat on the cutting board as that hateful family.

There was no transmigrator who was in a worse state than him; the other transmigrators were adorned with gold and silver and surrounded by beautiful women.

And him? He's become this family's cook, and there's a big shot who can hack into his system watching him.

You old bastard, so what if you're strong? Damn it, if you've got the guts, come and fight me with your fists and feet!

"Thump!" The last hammer fell heavily, and Ye Yubai, who had been cursing for a long time, felt much of his frustration dissipate.

Looking at the tenderloin, which was of moderate thickness, had an appealing color, and was smooth and tender, Ye Yubai was very satisfied. This meat would definitely be delicious as sweet and sour pork.

Coat the sweet and sour pork with batter, fry it twice in hot oil over medium heat, remove it, then simmer the sweet and sour sauce, finally pour it over the sweet and sour pork, stir-fry evenly, and plate it.

"The sweet and sour pork is here!" With a warm smile, Ye Yubai placed the sweet and sour pork on the table. Even though there was no one at the table, Ye Yubai was very happy.

Just now, his system was upgraded, and it brought him some really great news.

To compensate for the system firewall's malfunction, headquarters gifted him 10,000 energy points and restored the number of times the shield could be used.

Ten thousand energy points! That's something he could only get by completing three quick transmigration missions with perfect completion each time.

Hahaha, that's awesome!

"He said, 'What's a little pain in the face of wind and rain? Let the wind and rain come even more fiercely! Hahaha!'" Ye Yubai shouted from the kitchen.

Although he was beaten up three times today, he received a system upgrade, three uses of the protective shield, and 10,000 energy points.

"Host, there is another piece of good news. According to headquarters' assessment, Song Ranran's system is exactly the same as the previous evil system that betrayed them."

"The main system was still under control and punished Song Ranran's system and Song Ranran herself."

Ye Yubai's focus, however, was on the punishment of Song Ranran. "Why is Song Ranran being punished as well?"

"The hosts that the evil system binds to are all villains who have been evil for ten lifetimes."

Ye Yubai happily replied in his heart, "So you mean I'm a good person!"

In the worlds where he had previously undertaken missions, he was forced to become a bad person and endure people's clamor for violence. He suffered greatly.

Ye Yubai was very happy after being officially certified as a good person by the system. "Hahaha."

Just as Grandpa Song finished his family meeting, he was strolling to the kitchen door when he was startled by Ye Yubai's loud laughter.

Grandpa Song stormed into the kitchen and slapped Ye Yubai on the head as he grinned foolishly at the sky. "What are you laughing at? The food is burnt, burnt! You good-for-nothing!"

Still angry, she slapped him again, "That was abalone air-freighted from Australia, I was giving it to Qing'er to help her recover, and you burned it!"

"You, stinking, brat." He said each word slowly and deliberately, each pause making his head buzz.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll make it up to you! Don't hit me, Uncle, it hurts." Ye Yubai tried to dodge, but was frozen in place by Old Master Song.

"Two thousand yuan each, and you ruined ten of them! You brat, don't think I don't know your family's financial situation. You can't afford to pay for them!"

Ye Yubai shut up. He thought it was just ordinary abalone, only two or three hundred yuan, which he could afford.

But Ye Yubai is indeed broke right now; his parents' medical expenses have already depleted the family's savings.

He's out of touch with the lives of the wealthy.

"Uncle, I'm a good cook. How about I stay and cook for you?" Ye Yubai smiled ingratiatingly at Grandpa Song.

"Alright, this is the last time. Just throw the abalone away. I'll go get you something better." Old Master Song glared at the grinning, unserious Ye Yubai, then went out with his hands behind his back.

"Sweetie, take Grandpa to the secret base to get something, okay?" Grandpa Song picked up Ye Zhi, who was bored and blowing bubbles, and said in a low voice.

【good. 】

"Come on, Sweet Bean, Grandpa's going to catch abalone for Sweet Bean's mom, and then Sweet Bean will eat her fill too!" Grandpa Song's cheerful voice rang out in the space, startling the chickens and ducks into squawking.

【Abalone! Grandpa, I want some too!】 Ye Zhi's eyes lit up, then she sighed.

Okay, she's too young to eat.

Grandpa Song touched Ye Zhi's little belly; it was round and bulging, indicating that she was being fed very well.

Ye Zhi's belly was round and bulging, while Song Ranran's whole body was round and bulging.

Inside the rented room, Song Ranran let out a sharp, explosive sound, "System! What's going on? Didn't you say my dual water and fire abilities were fine? How come I turned into this as soon as I absorbed the abilities!"

Looking at herself in the mirror, now twice her original size, Song Ranran simply couldn't accept it.

She has always loved beauty, and even in the apocalypse, she dressed herself up beautifully, taking a bath, taking care of her skin, and putting on makeup every day without fail.

But now, the fat hand touched the equally fat face, and the dark patch on the left cheek that looked like a birthmark had just appeared. The person in the mirror looked distorted.

Unable to bear seeing her own ugly appearance any longer, Song Ranran punched the mirror hard, and cracks spread from the point of impact to the entire mirror.

Blood trickled from her knuckles, but Song Ranran seemed oblivious to the pain, punching the mirror that still reflected her ugly image again and again.

Why is she living in this run-down rented room? It's to buy cosmetics, skincare products, and pretty clothes…
