Chapter 4: Race against time to get the system's wool
After checking her phone to confirm, including the 250 yuan given by the system, Zhao Xiaojing's total assets did not exceed 500 yuan.
Feeling extremely nervous, Zhao Xiaojing asked the system guiltily what to do if she had no money to practice.
As a result, the system directly jumps to the third module, virtual space.
Zhao Xiaojing was puzzled, but she still clicked on the virtual space. At this point, another burst of white light came into her head, and then she was dumbfounded.
She came to a pure white place, with nothing around her but her.
This is actually space!
Zhao Xiaojing observed it excitedly for a while and then communicated with the system.
Only then did she realize that this was not the kind of space she had imagined where she could make a fortune by farming, but a virtual space. Once she entered, everything was virtual and could be considered a learning tool.
There is nothing in the virtual space, and currently it only has the basic function - projection, which is to project the real scene into the virtual space, but now it can only project 20 square meters.
After the projection, Zhao Xiaojing can carry out a series of virtual activities. For example, if she wants to practice deep-frying skewers, she will go to the projected kitchen and practice repeatedly in the virtual kitchen.
After projection, the consumption of items is also virtual, and they will remain the same as when projected after they are released. However, the practice is real, and the quality of the finished product can be seen, and the taste can also be tasted.
It can be understood as having a dream. When you wake up, everything returns to normal, but the feelings you had in the dream are still there.
The most important thing is that the flow of time in the virtual space is very slow. One hour in the space is only one minute outside!
What Zhao Xiaojing is most satisfied with is the speed at which time passes.
After all, as a chef, time and experience are very valuable things. You must practice and practice constantly to reach a certain level. Having them is equivalent to having 60 times more practice time than others!
After learning how to use it, Zhao Xiaojing came up with a bold idea.
"System, can I project any scene? Is it okay if it's not my room?"
【Can】
"If I project outside, will passersby be projected in as well?"
[No, projection is limited to scenes, not people.]
"Then what state do others see me in when I enter the space?"
[What is seen is the host standing there in a daze. The host can see the outside world in the virtual space and can exit in time if something happens, and outsiders will not notice anything unusual.]
Zhao Xiaojing was instantly ecstatic. What kind of magical cheat code is this? It's a money-saving magic tool!
Zhao Xiaojing immediately took the key and ran outside.
She is now going to realize her bold idea, race against time to take advantage of the system and learn how to make fried skewers!
Zhao Xiaojing ran all the way to the street of small restaurants downstairs, found the only fried skewers stall and stood next to it.
"System, project this skewers stall!"
Zhao Xiaojing shouted at the system in her mind, and couldn't help laughing at her own behavior. The skewers boss even gave her a puzzled look.
After the system projection, Zhao Xiaojing entered the virtual space again, and sure enough, she saw a fried skewers stall standing alone in the night wind.
It actually worked! What could be more convenient than practicing directly on a ready-made skewers stall? She's a real talent for taking advantage of the situation!
Zhao Xiaojing walked over and looked at the stall with great joy.
However, when she looked at the things carefully again and prepared to choose a few exercises, she was stunned on the spot.
The oil is black, the dipping sauce is a mixture of unknown seasonings and only smells spicy, and the ingredients are semi-finished products that have been frozen for a while. None of them meet the requirements and do not even reach the threshold of the system recipe!
Zhao Xiaojing had no choice but to exit the virtual space, and found a small restaurant on the street with a stove, seasonings and ingredients all placed outside. Then she stood quietly next to the closed shop and projected the stove of the small restaurant.
Fortunately, the restaurant itself is small, and the stove, chopping board table, seasoning table, and food freezer are compactly arranged, just within the 20-square-meter limit of Zhao Xiaojing's virtual space.
After entering, Zhao Xiaojing checked around and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The ingredients are fresh and the seasonings are basically complete.
Zhao Xiaojing picked out a few ingredients from the fresh-keeping freezer on the side and began to marinate, slice, mix the batter, and heat the pan with oil...
She was a little unfamiliar with the recipe at first, but with repeated practice, Zhao Xiaojing's control over the recipe became more and more precise, and she was completely focused and immersed in the practice.
It was not until the restaurant closed in the early morning and the owner collected all the things at the door that the virtual space projection lost its support and returned to a blank space. Only then did Zhao Xiaojing suddenly realize and exit the space.
Looking at the real time, nearly four hours have passed, which is 240 hours in the virtual space.
Because she didn't feel tired or exhausted in this space, and there was no difference between day and night, she didn't even realize that so much time had passed.
I don’t know how many times I’ve practiced it, but although I can’t say I’ve mastered it, it’s been quite effective.
Zhao Xiaojing shook her head, moved her body and prepared to go home.
"Sister, a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in! You can never judge a person by their appearance alone!"
When she walked past the restaurant, the boss who was pulling the aluminum alloy door curtain suddenly looked at her and said something earnestly.
This boss's way of greeting was quite unusual; it seemed he enjoyed persuading people. Zhao Xiaojing was taken aback, then nodded and smiled politely at the boss before continuing on her way home.
"Hey, I don't know if the little girl can understand what you are saying."
Behind her, the restaurant owner also stood up, looked at Zhao Xiaojing's back as she walked away alone, shook her head and said to the boss.
She had been paying attention to Zhao Xiaojing all night. In the middle of summer, she had been standing alone in front of the closed daily necessities store next door for several hours, looking distraught.
"I just asked you to persuade you not to go, and you said others couldn't understand me after I told you!"
The boss glared at the boss's wife and sighed at Zhao Xiaojing's back.
"What a sin! Old Zhang's son is such a piece of shit, and now he's got another one, who looks pretty."
"That's right! She looks like an honest girl, standing quietly at the door without making any noise or showing off. She's much better than those flashy and filthy-mouthed ones before. But how can she have such poor taste!"
"How about introducing him to our son? Our son is not bad looking either, much better than that playboy Xiao Zhang, isn't he?"
The boss suddenly had an idea and became excited.
"Come on! Your son is under 18! It's illegal for someone to be with your son!"
The proprietress slapped the boss on the back of the head.
"That's what I was saying! The girl is so polite. She even nodded and smiled at me when I spoke just now!"
The boss rubbed his head and said aggrievedly.
"Hey, you're right. I can't stand it any more! Tomorrow, when Lao Zhang opens the door, I'll go talk to him directly!"
The proprietress stood there indignant, and the boss silently gave her a thumbs up.
