Ch18 - I Didn’t Mean It

This was the first time Lin Jiayu tasted such delicious food. Even during the time she lived in Capital Star, she had never eaten or even seen such a thing. She believed that if these things passed into Capital Star, they would definitely be sought after by people.

“It’s okay, Aun Lin. This dough drop soup is made of nutritional powder. These spinach and wild mushrooms are also found in the forest. They are not expensive at all.” Mu Yan hurriedly explained. 

Aunt Lin’s family saved him and treated him so well. He just cooked a simple lunch, nothing else.

Lin Jiayu was stunned for a while when she heard the words. She didn’t expect that Mu Yan could tell the method and source of these things so easily, especially that the glutinous thing inside the soup was made of nutritious powder. This… this was really unexpected.

Such a simple-minded Mu Yan also made Lin Jiayu fond and worried even more.

Lin Jiayu knew that their planet was very backward, and those who had some ability and money were not willing to stay here. After all, compared with the outside world, this planet was too primitive, and without the technologies like the other planets.

With Mu Yan’s skill in cooking, she thought it would be better for Mu Yan to take a look at the outside world than this backward planet.

But the outside world was also cruel, and it was impossible to do anything without money or without skill. Therefore, Mu Yan’s craftsmanship would become the strength to support his life.

“Thank you, Aunt Lin, I understand.” Mu Yan was very moved, and his heart kept surging with warm currents flowing to his limbs.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Lin and returning home, Mu Yan could finally sit down and eat. But when he looked at the big bowl, he was puzzled.

He remembered there was more than half of the dough drop soup left in the big bowl, and now there was only a shallow layer of it left. A small hairball with pink hair in its cheek was squatting on the stool next to it.

“I… I didn’t mean it. It was you who cooked this soup too deliciously, so I accidentally ate too much. It’s not my fault!” 005’s tone was weak at first, but the more it talked the more confident it became, as if it was entirely the fault of the ‘delicious soup’ that Mu Yan made.

However, the small bean-sized eyes secretly observed Mu Yan, revealing its guilty mood at the moment. 

Mu Yan was not angry at all, he was still very content. Although he had only eaten a little bit of what he worked so hard to make, in the end, his heart was still full of gratitude. 

After all, 005 gave him a lot of help. If 005 didn’t provide him with these pots and pans, he would have a headache for a long time. Even if he had the ingredients, he would not be able to make them this good. 005 was right to eat more.

Moreover, he used to be hungry in the past. He didn’t think it was a big deal.

The first successful cooking added five experience points and ten system points. In addition, the two food ingredients found also add some experience points and system points. However, these points were not enough to pay for the debt he owed before, so the system’s points were still negative. Mu Yan still needed to continue to work hard to repay the debt.
