He couldn't even utter the word "system"!
Lan Xin looked at Zhizhi's forehead, which was wrapped in white gauze, with heartache: "Zhizhi, no, is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Turning anxiously to the doctor, she asked, "Doctor, please take another look. Zhizhi said she heard the child talking. Is there something else wrong?!"
The doctor looked at Tao Zhizhi with suspicion: "Can you still hear sounds? Are you hallucinating? You may have a mild concussion. You need to be observed further."
Tao Zhizhi discovered that no one else could hear the so-called system's childlike voice except herself, and suppressed her doubts:
"It's alright, it's gone now."
However, after leaving the hospital, Tao Zhizhi said goodbye to Lan Xin, "Host, no one else can hear my voice except you—".
The child's voice appeared again. Tao Zhizhi looked around warily and found that the pedestrians around her were all busy with their own things and there were no children.
He could only console himself: [It seems I really was hallucinating from being hit by that kid. I'll go back and get some sleep; it should be over by tomorrow.]
"No, I really am the system, I can hear you!"
Seeing that its host didn't trust it at all, the system was angrily standing with its hands on its hips, trying to prove its existence, if Tao Zhizhi could see it.
Tao Zhizhi made a quick decision and turned back to the hospital. Unlike before, this time she went to the psychiatric department.
"Ms. Tao, you may be under a lot of pressure lately, but don't worry, overall it seems there's nothing seriously wrong."
The psychiatrist was all smiles. Tao Zhizhi looked at the clock in her hand, which showed normal readings, and left the hospital again. She was shocked and couldn't help but wonder: Could it really be the system from the novel?
"I really am a system! Just like the systems in your novels! Ugh! I'm really angry! Humph!"
The system was furious in Tao Zhizhi's mind, and was in a state of impotent rage at what its host had done.
To quiet her mind for a while, Tao Zhizhi gently soothed herself with her inner voice:
"Alright, alright, I believe you are a system. So, System Master, what type are you?"
Whether it was the system's dedicated attitude or the phrase "System Master," Yi Yi reverted to his original adorable childlike voice:
"Ahem! I am the first Super Delicious System created by the Great Creator—One Hundred Million. My main function is to collect Delicious Points and Happiness Points by having you, the host, create delicious food. Once you reach three hundred Delicious Points, you can unlock the system shop. The shop has many things you can't even imagine, which you can buy with Happiness Points (^^)\/"
"Although I can cook, it's barely edible. You've got the wrong person to rely on me to collect food."
Tao Zhizhi returned to her rented room and, while unlocking the door, mentally replied to the system.
"It's okay, as an all-around culinary system, I have all the recipes you want. Super professional instructors will teach you, and I guarantee you'll learn. You just need to cook the dishes assigned to your task to earn delicious points and happiness points, okay?"
He's so confident, he can confidently pat his chest and say he's got a hundred million.
Seeing this, Tao Zhizhi drank a glass of warm water to sort out her thoughts and made a sudden shift in her mindset from frantically looking for a job to starting her own independent food business.
"One hundred million, when does the mission begin?"
"One week from now, the host needs to find a suitable storefront as soon as possible."
"What! You don't even have time for a week of renovations!" Tao Zhizhi looked troubled upon hearing this.
"Host, don't worry. I can renovate with one click, and I'll take care of all the necessary permits. Host, don't worry."
One hundred million indicated that this was not a problem, and answered calmly.
——
As dawn broke, Tao Zhizhi opened her phone to look for a suitable shop. Two hours later, the shops she wanted were either already booked or had too high a rent.
Just as she was sighing, she suddenly remembered that her family used to have a pharmacy that her grandparents ran. Her parents stopped running it, and after her grandfather passed away, it was rented out to other people.
The lease expired at the end of last month, but due to poor revenue, it wasn't renewed. It's like they came here just because they wanted to eat pork!
Tao Zhizhi happily called her parents to confirm the shop's status and explained her idea of opening a restaurant. Tao's parents were overjoyed.
After all, they only have this one child. Although they are worried about Zhizhi wanting to go out and explore, they do not object. Now that they hear that Tao Zhizhi is going home to start a business, they support her wholeheartedly!
Before Tao Zhizhi returned, her father had already ordered the pharmacy to be cleaned up, and they would take further action when Zhizhi came back.
Without hesitation, Tao Zhizhi quickly contacted the landlord to terminate the lease within a day and called Lan Xin, who had just gotten off work.
"Xiao Xin, I'm not looking for a job here anymore. I'm planning to go back home and start my own business. Take good care of yourself here all by yourself."
Lan Xin was quite shocked, but she didn't offer her opinion on Zhizhi's idea; as a good friend, she naturally offered her full support.
"Zhizhi, don't worry. Just focus on starting your business when you get back. I'll help you promote the store once it's open. I already have nearly 500,000 followers across the internet!"
Tao Zhizhi was a little surprised. She knew Lan Xin had started doing social media in her sophomore year, but she really didn't know she had already accumulated so many fans. She joked into the phone:
"Okay! I'll really appreciate your help, Mr. Lan!"
"Hehe, no problem, no problem!"
In the evening, Tao Zhizhi left City C with the moving company and embarked on her journey home again.
Squeak—
Tao Zhizhi returned to Qingshui City overnight and rushed to the small pharmacy she used to frequent the next day. It had been cleaned by her parents and was spotless. Due to the special nature of the system, she had the shop surrounded so that no one could see inside.
"One hundred million? Let me see what style you can help me decorate. It's only been a week, so it's not good to decorate too much and arouse suspicion."
Tao Zhizhi was in the shop with a measuring tape in her hand, taking out the general layout of the kitchen while asking herself questions in her mind.
"Dear host, I have a variety of styles for you to choose from, such as natural pastoral style, rugged industrial style, and modern minimalist style."
Tao Zhizhi thought about the styles she had seen when dining out, and her favorite was the natural, pastoral style.
Using elements commonly found in nature as the main theme, with fresh and soft colors, cabinets and tables are made of wood, along with cleverly designed rattan chairs, and exquisite linen curtains or tablecloths are hung.
Then, I arranged pothos plants in the restaurant as decorations, used her favorite flowers and handicrafts for decoration, and hung a white long bench swing in the yard. She can wear a pretty dress to eat and there are also backgrounds to help with taking pictures. I decided on this one!
She reached out and tapped the air, selecting success!
The virtual panel in front of him, visible only to himself, began to display: Countdown to completion of renovation—six days.
Tao Zhizhi went to the renovation site almost every day for the next six days, listening to the renovation sounds deliberately created by the system outside the enclosure. In reality, all kinds of furniture and supplies appeared out of thin air. In just one day, the small shop was almost completely renovated. The following days were mainly to cover up the truth.
She touched the tables and chairs that exuded a faint, pleasant wooden scent, took out the formaldehyde self-test kit she had bought, and the test result showed that the solution was colorless and transparent. Sure enough, products made by the system must be of high quality!
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and the day before the restaurant was to open, the system issued its first task:
Make 200 servings of "Lucky Pig Trotters" at 188 yuan per serving, and hire one more employee.
