Chapter 115 Cyber World 17
"The host wants to take the person back? But the host hasn't finished the system tasks yet."
Lin Xiaoqian listened to the system's tone, which was full of dissatisfaction and complaints.
So he coaxed, "System, I will definitely complete the system task, don't worry about that."
The system's tone still held some dissatisfaction: "The host has been somewhat opportunistic in the system tasks of this world. In order for the host to become a true culinary master, the system will change the system tasks starting in the next world."
Thinking about how she had forced Fiona to buy the beef pie, Lin Xiaoqian felt a little guilty: "Huh? How should it be changed?"
The system coldly replied, "This is confidential."
Lin Xiaoqian said helplessly, "Alright then, can you help me take the Zou sisters back?"
system:……
The system was speechless, but it was the host it had bound to, and it couldn't unbind itself.
"As long as you focus on the Chef God mission, I'll help you bring these two people back this time, without any conditions. But this is a one-time exception."
Lin Xiaoqian was both surprised and delighted to hear this: "Really? System, you're such a great system!"
Now that the system had agreed to take the Zou sisters back, Lin Xiaoqian was no longer worried about them, especially since both sisters were currently in a coma.
She checked the system progress and saw that there were still over a thousand beef pies left to sell. She needed to finish the task quickly and go back.
The next afternoon, Lin Xiaoqian opened her shop. Now the view from her shop entrance was very open, because there were no buildings within dozens of meters of the bomb fired by the man with the ponytail.
Because of its unique scenery, the area outside was bustling with activity, and many people were gathered around her restaurant.
There were nearby residents and some people who looked like reporters.
As soon as the shop door opened, a group of people quickly gathered around.
"Madam, could you explain why your shop survived the bombing unscathed?"
"I heard you sell beef pies here? Why would you sell high-end food in a shantytown?"
"Is your shop made of any special materials?"
Faced with a barrage of questions from the crowd, Lin Xiaoqian calmly cleared her throat and said, "No comment."
Then they took out an advertising board that read, "Special Offer: One bottle of nutrient solution in exchange for one beef pie." Liao Zhuang and Zhuang Damao moved several styrofoam boxes from the store and placed them at the store entrance, but they were still inside the store, not outside.
Upon seeing the billboard, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
"Really? One bottle of nutrient solution can be exchanged for a high-grade food?"
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Xiaoqian spoke again, "It's absolutely true, everyone can trade with confidence. My beef pies are not only delicious but also nutritious, definitely worth the price."
This was Lin Xiaoqian's idea. Zou Qi was still unconscious, and no one could help her access the currency of this world, so they could only barter.
As for exchanging a nutrient solution for a beef pie, it might seem unbelievable to this world, but it's the fastest way Lin Xiaoqian has decided to complete the mission after careful consideration.
She wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible and take the Zou sisters back to the original world to be treated in the medical ward.
Some of the bolder people took the lead in exchanging a bottle of nutrient solution. Only when they saw that Lin Xiaoqian hadn't lied and had actually given them a beef pie did they feel relieved.
When they tasted the delicious beef pie, they were all stunned.
The rich aroma of meat, the crispy crust, and the complex texture made them feel as if they were in a food paradise.
One of them stared wide-eyed, saying in disbelief, "This beef pie is so delicious! I've never tasted anything so good before."
He was a journalist and someone who often ate high-end food, but this beef pie brought him an unprecedented taste sensation.
He quickly took out his equipment to record the beef pie in his hand and promptly posted it to his social media account.
Reporters from other media outlets quickly followed suit, taking out their equipment; some took photos, some recorded videos, and some took written notes on the spot.
Soon, the news that a bottle of nutrient solution could be exchanged for a delicious beef pie caused a sensation throughout the entire mechanical city-state.
More and more people are coming from all directions just to taste that delicious beef pie.
With so many people, the beef pies sold out very quickly. Some people even bought dozens at once, and Lin Xiaoqian's stock of beef pies gradually dwindled until it was almost empty.
Lin Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief the moment she saw the system task completed.
It was worth it for her to stay up all night and spend the whole morning making all the beef patties needed for the task.
"We're out of beef pies, please leave now."
People seemed reluctant to leave, letting out regretful sighs. Some were still asking when the beef pies would be available again. Lin Xiaoqian only responded with a mysterious smile, then coldly closed the shop door.
It wasn't that no one wanted to force Lin Xiaoqian to take out the beef pie, but this shop was really weird. Didn't you see the big pit near the restaurant?
Also, there were people who wanted to cause trouble before, but as soon as they entered the store, they fainted on the ground and were thrown out by Zhuang Damao by their legs.
Those who were originally dissatisfied or intended to cause trouble gave up their ideas after seeing the previous events.
That evening, Jiang Shuang secretly went to Xiao Hao's house.
During the day, Lin Xiaoqian saw him in the crowd from afar, but because there were too many people around the restaurant, he didn't dare to come over.
At this moment, Xiao Hao and his grandparents were still asleep. Jiang Shuang took out the thousand nutrient solutions she had brought, some extra beef pies made by Lin Xiaoqian, and some other things that could be exchanged for money in this world from her spatial ring and placed them on the ground.
Then gently wake Xiao Hao.
"We're leaving now, consider this your payment." Jiang Shuang pointed to the things on the ground.
Xiao Hao was a little confused. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the pile of things on the ground, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After a while, he realized what was happening and hurriedly said, "Sister, where are you going? I didn't do anything, why are you giving me so much stuff?"
Jiang Shuang smiled and patted Xiao Hao's head, saying, "We're going home now. This is the reward you deserve. Also, don't go back to that warehouse where you picked up the metal."
Although Xiao Hao wasn't allowed to lead the way to get the metal, it was he who discovered the loophole in the warehouse, giving them the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Xiao Hao nodded. He had heard yesterday that many things had been stolen from the place where the metal was kept, and that many police officers were investigating.
He originally went to the restaurant today to deliver a message, but there were too many people around, so he didn't dare to go over.
Jiang Shuang continued, "You can secretly sell these nutrient solutions, and the same goes for the other things. Be clever when you sell them. Once you have the money, move to a better place with your grandparents, and it would be best if you could go to school and learn some skills to support yourself."
If that pile of stuff on the ground were converted into money in this world, it should be enough to support Xiao Hao until he reaches adulthood, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Xiao Hao knew that Jiang Shuang was helping him. His eyes reddened slightly, and he nodded vigorously, saying, "Sister Jiang Shuang, I will definitely remember your words."
Then she asked, "Where are Sister Zou Qi and Xiao Yue? Have they come back?"
Jiang Shuang saw the sincerity in his eyes and knew that he genuinely cared about the Zou sisters.
"Don't worry, they will go to a safe place and live a good life."
