The first ray of morning light shone into the room, and Su Mingan opened his eyes.
Today is the third day since the dungeon was opened.
The clock on the wall showed 8:40 a.m. There were sounds of cooking coming from the kitchen. It seemed that Alice was cooking.
[Girl: Detective, I have prepared breakfast.]
…
An indescribable smell wafted out from the kitchen. Su Mingan looked up and saw Alice walking towards him with a pot of sticky porridge.
[Detective: ... (staring at the porridge and frowning)]
[Detective: Alice, have you ever learned to cook? No, your cooking attribute is 0, so it's understandable that you can make this kind of breakfast.]
【Girl: I took a bite and it tastes pretty good. You can try it. 】
…
Su Mingan looked at Alice's expectant eyes, picked up the spoon and drank a mouthful of porridge, and his expression suddenly turned into a mask of pain. He took a look at the system introduction of the porridge:
[Item: Very unpalatable porridge
Consumption effect: deduct three health points per minute, lasting for ten minutes.
Comment: The porridge is very unpalatable. 】
…
Su Mingan immediately put the matter aside.
[Detective: Alice... you should learn how to cook porridge with me first. Your current cooking skills are not suitable for cooking.]
[Girl: Hey... Is the detective's cooking delicious? ]
[Detective: Not bad. I'm going to make some porridge now, you can follow me.]
[Girl: Yes! (Nodding vigorously)]
…
Su Mingan walked into the kitchen, took out the pot and started cooking porridge.
“Gulp—”
Amid the steam, sunlight shone on the boiling water. Su Mingan held a spoon, stirring the rice porridge and looking at the scenery outside the window.
From the kitchen window, you can see the scenery of most of the block. The gear scooters and motorcycles are like iron-gray flying birds, and the people in coarse linen clothes are like clouds floating between the birds. The window glass reflects a layer of colorful rainbow light, making people feel as if they are standing in the sky.
Su Mingan looked at these and felt an indescribable warmth.
The background music in his ears was extremely relaxing. The humming of white steam from cooking porridge lifted his chin. With a "beep", the stove went out.
Su Mingan shared the porridge he cooked with Alice. Alice took the bowl and drank it obediently.
[Girl (awkwardly, reluctantly): The porridge cooked by the detective is indeed delicious.]
[Detective: Right. I've been drinking porridge that I cooked myself since I was a child, so it shouldn't be bad. (Confident)]
…
While clearing the dishes, Su Mingan took a look at the system introduction of his porridge:
[Item: Extremely unpalatable porridge
Effect of consumption: Obtain "nausea" status for ten minutes, with a chance of abnormal status such as "poisoning" or "vomiting".
Comment: This is an extremely unpalatable porridge. It is hard to imagine how it is made. 】
…
Su Mingan glanced at Alice who was still licking the bottom of the bowl. Why was his porridge still rated as "extremely unpalatable" by the system? Alice's rating was only "unpalatable", so why did his porridge's rating rise to a higher level?
[Detective: No taste. ]
[Detective: Alice, I will leave here at 12 noon today, and it will be half a year before I appear again.]
[Girl: Why? Detective, can you please not leave? ]
[Detective: It’s hard for me to explain why I suddenly left for so long, but it will be like this in the future - I will appear once every six months to help you arrange your schedule, and then suddenly leave again.]
[Girl: ...I won't ask any more questions, Detective. You must have your reasons.]
[Detective: Before I leave, I will teach you how to live independently. You can live in this house forever. When I see you next time, you will be thirteen years old.]
…
Su Mingan began to teach Alice all kinds of common sense. According to Alice's cooking, if he suddenly disappeared for half a year, it would be difficult for her to live independently in this house.
"This is called radish, and you should peel it like this..." Su Ming'an took out a knife. The moment he took out the knife, he subconsciously made a gesture as if he was chopping someone, but he quickly reacted and returned to the gesture of cutting vegetables.
"Oh, oh!" Alice nodded.
"In addition to cooking porridge, you can also try making broth. I'll teach you. After the water boils, throw the meat in first, then the green vegetables, and then the cabbage..."
“Can we just throw it in?”
"Hmm, um... that should be it..."
"Detective, this broth looks a bit strange in color, and the smell is a bit like what I smelled when I was picking up garbage..."
"It shouldn't be bad. A friend of mine said this broth is delicious."
"Your friend is really amazing!"
The broth was bubbling in the pot, and the smell wafted out through the windows. Neighbors opened their doors one after another, wondering which garbage dump the smell came from.
Afterwards, Su Mingan taught Alice how to wash clothes.
"First, soak the clothes in the basin, and then rub the fabric with soap nuts..." Su Ming'an rolled up his sleeves and soaked the clothes in the basin.
"Yeah, yeah." Alice squatted beside and watched very carefully.
"After drying, long-sleeved shirts should be folded like this to save space, and pants... I'm not sure about skirts, so just hang them up."
"Yes, Detective."
Su Mingan gave Alice some smaller clothes and asked her to use them for the time being.
Alice really didn't know anything. Cooking, washing clothes, common sense... She knew almost nothing. But Su Mingan knew that from now on she would embark on an extraordinary path. Even in areas she had never touched before, she had to master them.
