Upon hearing this, Yu Luo's eyes gleamed with a faint golden light, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
"Before you go back, there's still some time left. This world is still being reborn." Her voice was like a gentle mountain breeze, carrying a hint of warmth. "Would you like to experience the true essence of human life?"
The system sprite fluttered its translucent wings, tilted its head, and looked on with curiosity: "Human life? Can I have that too?"
It was born from data and rules, and has witnessed the rise and fall of the world, but has never truly been a part of it, experiencing the most basic joys and sorrows.
“Of course,” Yu Luo extended a finger and gently tapped its forehead. “Whatever you want to do, we can try.”
"Really?!" The elf's eyes lit up instantly, like two dazzling stars.
It excitedly twirled on Yu Luo's hand and began counting on its fingers, "I saw the market down the mountain, the candied hawthorns, those strings of bright red ones, they looked so sweet! And that old man who makes dough figurines, he can sculpt a Sun Wukong in just a few strokes! And also, that pancake vendor, swish swish swish, just a few strokes and they're fragrant and crispy!"
It became more and more excited as it spoke, and finally puffed out its little chest and waved its hand with great pride: "We'll all give it a try!"
Yu Luo was amused by its appearance and said gently, "Okay, let's try them all."
After saying that, she moved her divine sense slightly and summoned a piece of lotus root as white as jade from the divine realm.
Golden divine power wrapped around it like silk threads, and the lotus root quickly stretched and changed, transforming in the blink of an eye into the shape of a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old.
The girl wore a light green cloth dress, her hair was styled in two buns, and her eyes were big and round, lively and mischievous. She looked seven or eight parts similar to the system's little sprite's transformed form, exuding a clever and cute charm.
Yu Luo herself also withdrew her divine light, and the golden-patterned divine robe on her body transformed into a simple blue long robe. Her peerless appearance became delicate and ordinary, and she was inconspicuous in the crowd.
“Let’s give it a try,” Yu Luo said to the system, which had just acquired the body and was curiously examining its hands.
…
Soon, in a small county town on the border of the barbarian kingdom, a stall selling sesame cakes appeared on a street corner.
The little girl baking sesame cakes was lively and adorable, with an ordinary-looking woman in a blue dress helping her.
"Freshly baked scallion pancakes! So fragrant and crispy!" The system imitated the vendors it had seen before, shouting in a very professional manner.
Soon, a woman passing by was attracted by the aroma. She looked the stall up and down and saw that the little girl was pretty, so she took out a few coins: "Little sister, give me one to try."
"Alright!" The system confidently took a golden-brown sesame seed cake from the oven, wrapped it in parchment paper, and handed it over.
The woman took it, thanked her, and took a bite as she walked away.
Not long after, the woman covered her mouth and quickly walked back, her face full of anger.
She slammed the sesame seed cake in her hand onto the cutting board with a loud thud. The cake hit the board with a dull thud.
"Hey little girl, are you selling pancakes or stones? Are you trying to knock my teeth out on purpose?!"
The system was stunned on the spot, its face turned red, and it was somewhat panicked.
She looked at Yu Luo beside her for help and explained in a low voice, "I baked it according to the standard. I didn't miss any details, such as the heat, the time, or the ingredients. How could there be a mistake?"
Yu Luo patted her shoulder reassuringly, smiled gently at the woman, and handed her a few freshly baked sesame cakes: "Auntie, I'm really sorry, this is our first time doing business, and our skills are not very good. Please take these as an apology."
The woman was initially furious, but seeing the two men's sincere attitudes—one almost crying from fright, and the other gently apologizing—her anger subsided considerably.
She took the sesame seed cake, glanced at the hard cake on the cutting board, and said irritably, "Your skills are really bad, let me do it!"
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and walked to the oven.
She kneaded and stretched the dough in a few quick movements, then sprinkled it with scallions, oil, and salt. Her movements were fluid and graceful, full of an indescribable rhythm.
Press it against the oven wall and control the heat. In just a moment, a rich aroma of caramelized meat mixed with the fragrance of scallion oil will fill the air.
When she took the sesame seed cake out, she saw that its surface was golden and crispy, covered with tiny air bubbles, while the back was white and soft. With a gentle break, it was steaming hot and had a wonderful aroma.
The woman took a bite herself, nodded in satisfaction, and then handed it to the system: "Try it, this is what a real sesame seed cake should be!"
The system took it blankly, took a small bite, and its eyes widened instantly.
The crispy exterior and soft interior combine perfectly, and the savory aroma of the scallion oil is just right. It's so delicious that you'll want to swallow your tongue.
"How did you do that?" The system looked at the woman with stars in its eyes, filled with admiration.
The woman waved her hand dismissively, saying, "I used to live in Liang Kingdom, and my neighbors knew how to make this. You can learn it just by watching. Do you really need to learn it on purpose?"
After saying that, she took the few sesame cakes that Yu Luo had given her and left satisfied.
In front of the stall, the system and Yu Luo looked at each other in bewilderment.
A moment later, the system took a deep breath, finished the remaining half of the sesame seed cake in its hand, and its eyes blazed with fighting spirit.
"Don't try to stop me this time, I'm going to start training!"
Yu Luo smiled with satisfaction as he looked at her energetic appearance.
The system's efforts soon paid off.
It possesses the most powerful computing and analytical capabilities, and after experiencing initial failures, it quickly adjusted every variable.
