Chapter 1 Activating the Gourmet System



Parallel world.

The capital city.

A man in a white shirt, with delicate features and striking eyebrows, lay drunkenly on the sofa, drinking alone.

His name is Yu Hui, an interior designer at a decoration company.

Overburdened with work, constant revisions, unrealistic promises from superiors, and fierce competition within the industry... he was overwhelmed.

After much hesitation, he still chose to resign.

It's so carefree and comfortable not having to go to work.

But troubles also followed.

Yu Hui's monthly salary is only three thousand yuan. After paying rent, he barely has enough to live on, let alone save money.

The rent due next month still hasn't been paid...

"Why!"

Yu Hui sighed deeply, a sense of helplessness welling up in his heart.

I graduated from university almost a year ago and I don't have a single penny in savings. It's such a failure!

He downed the entire bottle of beer in one go, opened Boss Recruitment, and started frantically sending out resumes, hoping that a company would hire him.

Ding-dong!

Just then, I received a group message on WeChat.

A Happy Family / A Drunken Butterfly:

"@Sunset Glow, my dear son, how are you adjusting to the new company? I heard from Xiao Li's mom that you haven't been to work for the past few days. Are you sick?"

Xiao Li and Yu Hui were from the same town. They used to fight a lot when they were young and didn't like each other. Later, they were admitted to the same university and gradually became acquainted.

The town's social circle is small to begin with, so even the smallest thing can be known to everyone.

Today, Guo Fang heard from Li Mei that her son hadn't been to work for several days.

Since Yu Hui started working, he has had less time to contact his parents, but he still maintains a frequency of contacting them once a week.

He didn't want his parents to worry, so he didn't tell them about his unemployment.

Who knows?

Fatty Li's jinxed mouth just got out...

This is absolutely ridiculous!

I'll definitely teach him a lesson next time I see him!

Yu Hui knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so rather than trying to cover it up, he decided to admit it openly.

Anyway, I can look forward to my next job soon.

A happy family / Sunset glow:

"Mom, I quit my job. The performance pressure at that company was too much, the excessive workload left me physically and mentally exhausted, and the boss kept making empty promises. Don't worry too much..."

Yu Hui thought Guo Fang would urge him to find a job as soon as possible, but to his surprise, she replied:

"It's better to leave this lousy company. I'm working overtime all day long, and I haven't made many coins, but I've lost a lot of hair. I might as well come back and run a small shop."

“Hui’er, last month Chuanshan was rated as one of the newest tourist attractions. Not long ago, some staff came to attract investment. I heard they want to set up a food street on the top of the mountain.”

"@Sunset Glow, why don't you go home and start your own business?"

Business opportunities? Food street?

Upon seeing this line of text, Yu Hui frowned deeply.

He simply couldn't understand how his barren little hill back home had become a tourist attraction.

The most outrageous thing is that they actually want to attract businesses to set up a food street...

Yu Hui vaguely remembered that apart from the townspeople exercising and climbing the mountain in groups, there were very few tourists, almost none. Wouldn't it be a huge loss to set up a snack stall there?

Actually, he really wanted to go back and start his own business.

I can stay with my parents and still earn money.

If he could earn money in his hometown, he would never leave to wander.

only.

The thought of that barren hill and the sparse flow of people made Yu Hui feel it was unrealistic.

Making ends meet is difficult enough, let alone saving up for a wife.

Why!

After thinking for a moment, Yu Hui gave up on the idea.

The key right now is to find a job as soon as possible and pay next month's rent.

Yu Hui opened Boss Recruitment to see if any of the employers had replied.

Just then, he heard a mechanical sound.

[Ding dong, suitable host candidate detected, successful binding to the gourmet system!]

"system?"

Yu Hui is a novel enthusiast, so he naturally understands the meaning of "golden finger" and "system".

But he never expected this.

This kind of thing that only exists in novels actually happened to me.

With this system in hand, I have the world at my fingertips!

With the system's boost, wouldn't it be possible to quickly become a rich, handsome, and successful man and reach the pinnacle of life?

Suppressing his joy, Yu Hui softly called out, "System, what functions do you have?"

The system immediately replied: "As the name suggests, this system can help the host improve their cooking skills."

[1. The system will issue a series of tasks. As long as the host completes the tasks, he/she will receive corresponding rewards.]

[2. The food you prepare will earn you customer review points, which you can use to redeem skills or items in the system shop!]

[3. Given that this is the host's first time binding with the system, a newbie gift pack is now being issued to the host: God-level knife skills, optimal cooking techniques, a secret recipe for braised chicken, and 30,000 yuan in starting capital.]

The words had barely left his mouth.

A powerful force surged into Yu Hui's body, deepening his understanding of cooking and even making his hands appear longer.

In an instant.

Yu Hui seemed to have become a seasoned chef!

Beep beep!

"Your card ending in 4041 received RMB 0.32 from China Construction Bank at 20:19 on June 2nd."

Looking at the latest message in his hand, Yu Hui's eyes widened, and he read it several times before he could believe it.
