Chapter 45 Midnight Horror
Braving the blizzard that could blow a person away, Gu Zuozuo made her way back to the educated youth settlement.
As soon as Gu Zuozuo opened the door and went inside, she noticed something was wrong.
Someone has been in her house.
Although everything appeared to be in place and untouched, with nothing unusual about it.
She could find her powdered medicine in inconspicuous places. If you didn't take the antidote, touching it wouldn't be fatal, but it could make you wish you were dead.
Now, in those hidden places that others wouldn't notice, there are fingerprints left by that person on the powder. Judging from the marks, it should be a woman.
"Tsk tsk, I really look forward to that person's reaction, it's bound to be interesting."
The system trembled and began to stutter.
[Host...we...can't do...that illegal thing...]
Gu Zuozuo scoffed, completely ignoring the system's words. She'd be crazy to stop someone who was practically courting death.
“I’m law-abiding. Besides, I didn’t put the powder anywhere else. Is it wrong for me to put it in my own room?”
So, if something really happens, it has nothing to do with her.
System: ...The poison is still the poison of its host.
[Host... have you guessed who it is?]
"No need to guess, just wait and see."
Getting tainted by her powder, even if it's not fatal, won't make the person feel good. Did they really think she was stupid for not locking the door when she went out? She was fishing, but she didn't expect someone to actually come looking for her while she was away. She didn't feel any sense of accomplishment at all.
After thoroughly checking and cleaning the room inside and out to make sure nothing was missed, Gu Zuozuo finally breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that the unpleasant, unfamiliar smell in the room was gone, and the small room was filled with her scent again.
After a busy afternoon, I looked at my watch and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. The heavy snow was still falling outside, showing no signs of stopping, and the snow was almost blocking the doorway.
Gu Zuozuo's stomach rumbled, and she realized it was time for dinner.
Looking at the mountain of fresh meat and spirit meat, spiritual materials and fruits piled up in her space, she almost became depressed again because she couldn't cook.
[Host, didn't you just check in today and get a box of hot pot ingredients? Make hot pot! That's the easiest!]
Gu Zuozuo's eyes lit up. That's right, she had hot pot ingredients!
Without further ado, she took out an energy pot from her spatial storage and added a bucket of medium-grade spiritual spring water. She was reluctant to use the high-grade water, but the medium-grade water was fine.
I took out a box of hot pot ingredients that I got from today's check-in, and after picking and choosing for a long time, I decided to eat the spicy flavor. Eating this in the dead of winter will definitely be comforting!
Meat, vegetables, fish, and shrimp were all readily available from the system check-in, very clean and ready to eat with just a few simple steps. Watching the ingredients bubbling in the pot, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, even though she hadn't had hot pot in a long time.
The educated youth, who were lazily playing cards, reading books, and making clothes in the educated youth settlement, were suddenly greeted by an extremely strong and spicy aroma. Everyone couldn't help but swallow, look at each other, and whisper to each other about where the aroma was coming from.
"It must be Gu, the educated youth? Other educated youth didn't have such good conditions."
The aroma of this spicy Sichuan dish is so strong that you can tell it's oily and spicy just by smelling it; it's absolutely a delicacy.
Jiang Yiyan and Chen Kai from Sichuan Province had their eyes practically glowing with envy, and they were drooling.
They had forgotten how long it had been since they had tasted the flavors of their hometown. After four or five years in the countryside, apart from the first two years when their family would send things over intermittently, their family members had almost forgotten that they even had a child, let alone tasted the flavors of their hometown.
"Do you think she would agree to trade me something for her?"
As the quietest of the male educated youth, who only knew how to work and earn work points all day, he had no conflict with Gu Zuozuo. Gu Zuozuo was a magnanimous person, so he probably wouldn't hold a grudge against him because of some of the male educated youth.
"Tch, you've even abandoned all shame for the sake of a stutter?"
