The food Meng Xia bought was, in An Ge's opinion, the simplest tomato and egg dish. It looked good, and she was initially looking forward to it. But could someone tell her why the dish tasted bitter?
An Ge looked up at Meng Xia, who was wolfing down her food with a look of enjoyment on her face, and tentatively asked, "Do you think it's delicious?"
“Of course!” Meng Xia took a moment to look up. “Every dish from the Culinary Association is in high demand, precisely because they taste so good. Don’t be fooled by the small size of this dish; many people can’t buy it even if they have the money.”
An Ge felt that if her inn were located in interstellar space, she might become the richest person in the world.
Seeing that An Ge's expression was off, Meng Xia asked in a low voice, "You don't think it tastes good? No way, it's delicious. I checked the ingredient descriptions when I bought it, and the radiation of each ingredient is no more than 5. These are top-quality ingredients."
An Ge took one bite and then stopped eating. She took out a fasting pill and stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation. "You don't have a good appetite today, so you can eat the rest."
Seeing that An Ge's expression didn't seem fake, Meng Xia buried her head and ate a few more bites. "By the way, I've seen you taking drugs several times. Don't you guys eat where you're from?"
"You can probably think of this as a nutritional supplement for your area." An Ge didn't know how to explain it either.
Meng Xia nodded, thinking to herself, "Maybe the nutritional supplements from An Ge's place taste good, otherwise why wouldn't she eat such delicious food?"
An Ge was curious about what world Meng Xia had lived in before. When Meng Xia heard An Ge's question, she seemed reluctant to recall, "Sigh, my hometown wasn't a good place, with few plants, but it was generally peaceful. Then zombies appeared, and the whole world went into chaos."
I've heard from some older folks that decades ago, our area was also a beautiful place with lush mountains and clear waters, and plenty of delicious food. Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to have that; I even encountered a zombie outbreak.
If An Ge's sympathy for Meng Xia was ten out of ten before, after hearing her story, it became twelve. "Come visit me sometime; I have lots of good food there too."
Meng Xia suddenly realized something, her eyes lit up, and she said with a grin, "You said it, don't go back on your word."
An Ge sensed a deeper meaning in Meng Xia's smile, but inviting Meng Xia was her genuine wish. Meng Xia wasn't a bad person; she could get to know her in the future.
"Of course I won't go back on my word, but summoning talismans aren't easy to obtain." Although she had two talismans given to her by Meng Xia, they were divine servant summoning talismans.
Meng Xia chuckled, said nothing, and finished off the last bit of food, truly achieving a clean plate.
After dinner, An Ge accompanied Meng Xia to look at the plants for a while, when she felt a calling; she knew she was about to go home.
After explaining the situation to Meng Xia, An Ge could clearly see the disappointment in her eyes. Before she could even comfort her, Meng Xia was back to her usual cheerful self, which made An Ge shake her head helplessly.
Even living in the apocalypse, Meng Xia maintained such an optimistic attitude towards life. An Ge thought that if she had been on this planet from the beginning, she would definitely have collapsed.
"Host, I've finally sorted out the identity issue." Meng Xia was talking to An Ge when she suddenly heard the system's voice. "An Ge is leaving soon, what's the use of you fixing it now?"
She knew An Ge was curious about holography, and since she couldn't meet her request, her tone was a little harsh.
The system felt a little aggrieved. "But I've cracked the identity requirements this time. I won't need to bother with identity verification when I enter the virtual world again."
Seeing Meng Xia's alternating expressions of anger and surprise, An Ge found it somewhat amusing. "What's wrong with you?"
"Hehe, the system just told me that it has cracked the identity problem of holographic login. That means that from now on, anyone can enter the holographic world."
An Ge was also happy for Meng Xia, but it was a pity that she was leaving soon and wouldn't be able to experience the holographic world. "That's great, if I have the chance to come here in the future, I can also experience the virtual world."
Meng Xia shook her finger. "What I mean is, if you have a holographic device, you might be able to use it in another dimension too."
An Ge's eyes widened in surprise. If what Meng Xia said was true, wouldn't that mean she could enter the virtual world of interstellar space at any time? But then An Ge thought about it and decided that it was probably impossible.
If even gods can't do it, how can holographic devices do it?
"Let's do another deal next time we meet. I'll take the holographic device back and try it out."
Meng Xia nodded happily at the thought of seeing An Ge soon. "Okay, I'll buy a set of equipment right away and give it to you then."
After the two made their agreement, An Ge felt an even stronger sense of calling. "I have to go now. See you next time."
Meng Xia looked at An Ge with reluctance, "Remember to let me know you're safe when you get back!"
An Ge was about to nod when she suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "I am the host of the management system. You can contact me if you need anything in the future." As soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from the spot.
Meng Xia was stunned by An Ge's words. Pointing to the empty space, she questioned her existence. "System, did I hear that wrong? Did I hear 'Cultivation System' instead of 'Management System'?"
"Host, although your brain isn't working very well, your hearing is still quite good. You didn't mishear."
"Heh, someone else's management system can make their host so powerful, what use are you?"
"Host, have you forgotten, System Master Xiao? Although it will gradually develop into my own personality later, the foundation of my personality was given to me by you."
Meng Xia rolled her eyes. Although it was true, there was no need to say it out loud. Suddenly, she slapped her forehead. "Oh dear, I forgot something important."
She felt regretful for a moment, but then she thought about meeting him in the host space and became happy again. "System, quickly contact An Ge for me. I already miss her even though it's only been a short while."
The system remained silent, seemingly busy with something.
"system?"
"Stop yelling, I'm trying to curry favor with you. Boss Xiao Qi is indeed a top ten system, his knowledge is truly vast."
Good heavens, in just a short while, her own system has already started trying to curry favor with powerful figures. Thinking of how she also wanted to curry favor with An Ge after meeting her, Meng Xia silently swallowed her sarcastic words.
Forget it, I won't bother my own system's sycophants. The good relationship between the two systems also means I have a good relationship with An Ge, right?
An Ge felt dizzy for a moment, and when she opened her eyes again, she was in a familiar room.
"Phew, finally back!" Although it was safe with Meng Xia, An Ge's nerves were still a little uneasy. Probably because it wasn't her territory, and Hu Jiu wasn't around.
Just as she was thinking about Hu Jiu, she looked up and saw Hu Jiu standing outside the door with a look of joy on his face.
"Hehe, I'm back, Hu Jiu. I'm sorry to have worried you."
Hu Jiu finally felt relieved when he saw An Ge's figure.
