"Absorption failed."

The rule fragments in the inventory have disappeared.

Come again!

"Absorption successful. You have obtained the power of shattered rules [The Way of the Netherworld Chef]: It can alter the life and death of ingredients, endowing them with the characteristics of life and death."

Xia Zhi was a little surprised to hear the system's voice.

I succeeded on the third try! Could it be that my high luck factor is at work again?

Then, Xia Zhi was drawn to the description of the newly acquired power of broken rules, the [Way of the Underworld Chef].

To endow it with the characteristics of life and death?

characteristic?

Isn't this something that only appears on items of gold or higher quality?

Why does the [Way of the Underworld Chef] allow him to directly imbue ingredients with power?

Is it because the [Path of the Underworld Chef] is a power that shatters the rules?

Could these characteristics be a product of the power of rules? Or perhaps a manifestation of them?

Will the ingredients he imbues with life-and-death properties be directly classified as gold items by the system?

Many questions flashed through Xia Zhi's mind in that instant.

He went into the kitchen, picked up an egg, used the [Path of the Underworld Chef] on it, and then put it into his inventory to check.

【egg】

Quality: average.

Type: Consumable.

Characteristic: Life and death.

Effect: Eggs whose rules of life and death have been altered can be eaten by the undead and allowed to taste them.

Hidden effects: None.

Non-recyclable.

...Although it has an additional characteristic, the quality of the egg remains unchanged; it is still of the original ordinary grade and cannot be recycled.

Xia Zhi shook her head and began to seriously make egg tarts.

Once the egg tarts were ready, he took two food containers, put the egg tarts in one of them, and then used the [Path of the Underworld Chef] on the egg tarts in one of the food containers.

Egg tarts

Quality: average.

Type: Consumable.

Characteristic: Life and death.

Effect: Egg tarts whose rules of life and death have been altered can be eaten by the undead and allowed to taste them.

Hidden effects: None.

Xia Zhi came out of the kitchen and handed two boxes of egg tarts to Yao Yao and Qi Qi respectively.

Qi Qi was a little stunned and subconsciously shook her head in refusal.

"Mr. Xia, I don't need it..."

"You've worked hard all afternoon, this is what you deserve."

"but I……"

Seeing the smile on Xia Zhi's face, Qi Qi ultimately did not refuse his kindness.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia..."

She hugged the food box to her chest, thinking that even if she couldn't taste any flavor, she had to finish all the egg tarts so as not to waste Mr. Xia's good intentions.

Yao Yao said obediently, "Sister Shen He, you don't need to see me off today. I'll go back with Qi Qi. Bu Bu Lu is very close to Yu Jing Tai!"

Shen He nodded: "Okay, be careful on the road."

Yao Yao waved: "Okay, goodbye everyone! Yao Yao will come back for another part-time job tomorrow!"

Qiqi also said goodbye: "Goodbye, everyone."

"Goodbye."

Back at Bubu Lodge, Qiqi carried the food box to the tree in the backyard and sat down alone.

She opened the food box, and a rich, enticing aroma of egg tarts wafted out.

Qi Qi was stunned.

fragrance?

She could actually smell the fragrance!?

It wasn't the indescribable scent of incense, but rather the familiar aroma of normal food from long-lost memories.

Qiqi's vision blurred instantly.

She reached out with a slightly trembling hand and picked up an egg tart from the food box.

The egg tarts were still warm when they were first made.

It wasn't her preferred temperature, but she still carefully put it in her mouth.

The outer shell is crispy and delicious, while the inside is sweet and soft, creating an indescribable deliciousness that blossoms on the tip of the tongue.

Cold liquid streamed uncontrollably down her face.

good to eat.

It turns out that Mr. Xia's cooking is really this delicious.

In the grass not far away, Changsheng watched Qiqi eat while crying and laughing, and the whole snake fell silent.

Night falls.

The evening breeze suddenly carried a slight chill.

Shen He looked up at the stars in the night sky and said softly, "It might rain tomorrow."

Zhu Zi looked up curiously and asked, "Is it finally going to rain? It's been so long since it rained, and it's been so hot these past few days."

Xia Zhi nodded: "After it rains, the weather will gradually start to get colder."

Each layer of autumn rain brings a layer of chill, and another year of falling leaves turns yellow.

The next morning, the sky indeed turned gloomy, looking like it was about to rain.

Zhu Zi returned from grocery shopping early and saw Qi Qi at the store entrance.

"Qiqi is here so early?"

"Yes, I just finished gathering the herbs and brought them back to Bubu's hut before coming over."

"Come in quickly, boss! Qiqi is here!"

Hearing Zhu Zi's voice, Xia Zhi came out of the kitchen, her hands still covered in some snow-white flour.

Good morning, Miss Qiqi.

Good morning, Mr. Xia.

"Actually, you don't need to come so early. You can come with Yao Yao in the afternoon."

"It's alright, I didn't have anything to do in Bubulu this morning anyway, so I might as well come and help out."

"Alright, thank you very much, Miss Qiqi. By the way, were the egg tarts delicious yesterday?"

"delicious!"

Xia Zhi smiled and said naturally, "Miss Qiqi probably hasn't had breakfast yet either. I'm about to make ramen, why don't you eat with us?"

"Okay!" Qi Qi pursed her lips, her eyes filled with anticipation. "I'll help!"

Soon, four bowls of glistening hot braised noodles with mountain delicacies were ready.

Xia Zhi picked up one of the bowls and subtly used the [Way of the Underworld Chef] on it before handing it to Qi Qi.

Qiqi carefully took it, lowered her head slightly, and greedily inhaled the tempting aroma emanating from the bowl.

I sat down at the table, picked up a strand of noodles with my chopsticks, and took a bite. The smooth and elastic noodles were mixed with fine minced meat and mushroom pieces, and they were absolutely delicious.

Qiqi's eyes couldn't help but turn a little red.

Zhu Zi looked at her and asked with concern, "Is the soup too hot? Do you want it to cool down before you eat it? Don't force yourself to eat hot food if you don't like it."

Qiqi shook her head and gave a beautiful smile, saying, "It's okay, I can eat it, it's delicious."
