Chapter 56
In the original novel Dark River, Bright Light, the author had hinted multiple times that if Yu Ming’s gland hadn’t been injured during that knife-wielding gang attack, he would have had a high chance of differentiating into an Alpha.
…But at the time, no one had taken it seriously.
Everyone thought the author was just joking—or maybe just adding some “strong-strong” dynamics to fuel the fake incest CP of Fu Changfeng x Yu Ming.
No one expected it to actually happen.
But after Jian Yunlan’s Spicy Hot Pot stall successfully dealt with the gangsters—Yu Ming really did differentiate into an Alpha.
And not just any Alpha.
A towering, muscular, 1.8m-tall, eight-pack-ab, Greek-statue-of-a-man Alpha.
The golden morning sunlight streamed down like gilded gold. Yu Ming had just finished his shower, his damp hair dripping slightly.
In the mirror, his newly defined physique was on full display. His strong, sculpted muscles stretched from his broad shoulders to his well-defined waist, forming a perfect inverted triangle shape, reminiscent of an ancient Greek sculpture—overflowing with power.
In just one night, thanks to his differentiation, he had shot past the 1.8-meter height milestone.
The only thing that remained unchanged was his beautiful, youthful face—still exquisitely handsome with a lingering touch of boyish charm.
Looking at his reflection, Yu Ming let out a soft chuckle and nodded to himself.
“I still need to train more. I’m still far from truly strong.”
“I need to work harder—to become more like Jian Boss.”
With that, he effortlessly lifted a 50kg barbell with one hand, popped in his earbuds, casually shoved one hand into his pocket, and stepped out for his morning workout.
*
The entire Multiverse Livestream Chat exploded.
[????????? BRO WHAT]
[Yu Ming, you call this differentiation?? You literally became a whole new person AHHHHH]
[New Viewer: Excuse me, where did the pale, beautiful, and reclusive Omega from the previous cover go? Is he in a relationship with this muscular Alpha on screen? What’s their CP dynamic? Can someone explain? =3333]
[Right now, Yu Ming looks like he could go toe-to-toe with Fu Changfeng in a knife fight???]
[Fu Changfeng, that seemingly gentle but secretly twisted psycho… I really can’t predict what he’ll do. I doubt Jian Boss is in for an easy time.]
[Jian Boss, afraid of Fu Changfeng? LMAO (nervous laughter).]
[But Fu Changfeng is really crazy… He’s wiped out so many top-tier streamers on the spot. I honestly don’t think Jian Boss can survive. Sure, he’s strong, but at the end of the day, he’s just a simple street food vendor.]
The discussion quickly shifted to Dark River, Bright Light’s main character, Fu Changfeng.
Recently, Fu Changfeng had been away attending a summer camp, which was why he wasn’t near Lotus Pond Community.
But when he finds out what happened… well, that’s another story.
[So, why the hell did Yu Ming end up differentiating into an Alpha? I can’t accept this!!!]
[Because of Jian Boss’s Spicy Hot Pot.]
[+1.]
[Jian Boss’s street food stall definitely has some kind of fate-altering power.]
[Jian Boss’s: Universe’s Invincible, 24K Gold, Super-Powered, Ultimate Temptation, Defense-Ignoring, Plot-Destroying Street Food Stall.]
[… That. Damn. Man. Again! (gnashing teeth)]
[Ding! Checking in for a selfie with the once-in-a-century Alpha version of Yu Ming!]
The chat was in complete chaos.
Some were wailing, some were in utter shock, some were in denial, and others were just here for the drama. Many simply came to witness history, after seeing posts about Yu Ming’s transformation into an Alpha blowing up on forums and social media.
Jian Yunlan’s livestream quickly became the must-visit tourist attraction in the Dark River, Bright Light fandom.
But another group of viewers remained silent.
This group—was secretly celebrating.
Take Handstand Hotpot Bro, for example.
Ever since Dark River, Bright Light’s third day of in-game time, he had been running his own stream, rebroadcasting the highlights of popular streamers.
Most streamers—like Liyue—tried various strategies to change the storyline: intercepting Yu Ming, preventing him from saving people, rescuing Chen Shuoshou and the kids early, or getting rid of the gangsters beforehand by reporting them to the police.
But these so-called “optimal” strategies had already been tested countless times.
No matter how well they seemed to work in theory, reality was different.
Sometimes, one of the kids would still end up as a hostage.
Sometimes, the gang leader, Puo Hui, wouldn’t get locked up for long and would return to cause trouble.
Sometimes, things would spiral out of control in unexpected ways.
So, as time went on, Handstand Hotpot Bro found himself camping out in Jian Yunlan’s livestream more and more.
Not for any particular reason—just because Jian Boss’s streams had the wildest, most unpredictable plot developments.
Jian Boss’s street food stall—a stage where fate itself is rewritten!
At first, Handstand Hotpot Bro had been casually sipping beer, watching the stream while chatting with his audience:
“Holy crap, you can do that?”
“Wait, what? That’s actually an option?”
“Damn, this is kinda insane.”
By the middle of the stream, his posture had changed.
—From lounging back with his legs crossed like a king to sitting upright, hands folded, like a diligent student in class.
By the time Yu Ming was comforted at the Spicy Hot Pot stall and firmly decided on his future, Handstand Hotpot Bro’s posture changed again.
—He placed his screen in front of him and slowly knelt down.
And when Yu Ming, after tossing and turning all night, finally differentiated into an Alpha…
—Handstand Hotpot Bro bowed twice to the screen.
The chat was losing it.
[HAHAHAHA I CAN’T THIS IS JUST LIKE—]
[A monster named Jian Yunlan has descended upon the melodramatic dog-blood genre]
[The despicable usurper Jian Yunlan approaches the world of angst-filled novels]
[The unstoppable Jian Boss Spicy Hot Pot Army conquers another tragic novel]
[Napoleon memes will never die.]
And in the end, watching Yu Ming step out into the morning light, lifting a dumbbell with ease as he headed for his workout, Handstand Hotpot Bro couldn’t hold back his tears.
So many times. So many times.
He had watched Yu Ming, in every timeline, suffer through endless nights of pain, unable to fulfill his dreams after being forced into an Omega differentiation. He had seen the boy swallow down bitter tears, trapped by fate.
But finally, finally, this time—Yu Ming wasn’t injured.
This time, his future was boundless.
“I’m just happy, man.“
Handstand Hotpot Bro, a burly grown man, sobbed like a child, his shoulders shaking.
“After all these years, after all those failed attempts… I finally get to see Yu Ming happy and free.”
He lifted his steaming pot of hotpot broth high into the air, eyes glistening.
“This drink is for Jian Boss!”
And with that, he downed an entire pot of boiling hotpot broth in one go.
The viewers: “…”
Well. Putting everything else aside… many fans truly felt the same way.
[Yeah… Everyone’s talking about the crazy plot twists, but honestly… As a longtime Yu Ming fan, seeing him finally break free from his tragic fate makes me really happy.]
[Seriously, thank you, Jian Boss. Thank you.]
[Hotpot Bro’s tears got me too. Now I wanna cry—happy tears.]
In the chaotic, lawless battlefield that was Jian Yunlan’s livestream chat, this particular group of viewers didn’t say much.
They simply silently showered the stream with gifts.
User [asuhs122] sent a “Thank You x1” gift to the streamer [Jian Yunlan].
User [Ming Ming Don’t Cry] sent a “Rocket Launcher x1” gift to the streamer [Jian Yunlan].
User [Handstand Hotpot Bro] sent a “Luxury Cruise x1” gift to the streamer [Jian Yunlan].
Soon, the gifts formed a wave, and the wave turned into an ocean, drowning out all the wailing, collapsing bullet comments…
That ocean merged into one single sentence—
“Boss Jian, thank you!”
At the same time, a golden badge appeared in the top-right corner of the livestream:
[Character [Yu Ming] Storyline Completion 100%” Achievement Badge.]
*
Jian Yunlan pedaled his tricycle under the moonlight, heading toward the Jian family villa.
Due to the effects of his susceptibility period, the rich scent of his spicy hotpot pheromones lingered in the air, trailing along the path of his ride, drifting past houses and triggering a chorus of people swallowing their saliva:
“Who’s cooking spicy hotpot in the middle of the night? It smells amazing!”
“Damn it, aren’t we living in the innermost part of the community?! Street stalls aren’t allowed here!”
“I need to order takeout… NOW!”
Finally, he returned to the villa and shut the door. The world fell into silence.
Hu Danggui emerged from the lotus lantern, yawning, while Taotie flopped onto the sofa. After a long day of running the food stall, everyone was exhausted.
But Jian Yunlan couldn’t settle down.
…Restless.
He wanted to set up his stall! He wanted to feed people!
His obsession with feeding others was kicking in.
Looking at Hu Danggui and Taotie, a strange gleam flashed in Jian Yunlan’s eyes.
“Heh heh.”
An idea took shape in his mind.
A brilliant idea.
Hu Danggui and Taotie: “?”
The two mighty mythical beings from the Shan Hai dimension instinctively shivered under his gaze.
A vague sense of foreboding crept over them.
“Hu Hu, Lord Taotie,” Jian Yunlan said, “how about I give you guys some employee benefits?”
*
Half an hour later.
The Jian family villa’s doors were wide open. Outside, the endless snowfall blanketed the silent night. Snowflakes drifted down layer by layer. Not far from the entrance, a flickering fire glowed within a small, semi-enclosed wooden hut. The warm, golden-orange light illuminated three figures gathered around it.
“Eating hotpot on a snowy night—doesn’t that sound like happiness?”
Jian Yunlan wielded the ladle. Taotie tended the fire. Hu Danggui was in charge of eating.
Hu Danggui’s mouth was stuffed full of food: “Mmmph!”
Delicious beyond words!
What the heck, she had thought Jian Yunlan was plotting something diabolical, but in the end, he just wanted to feed them? Master is the best! She would follow him forever!
Taotie nodded approvingly: “Acceptable. Barely.”
Seeing that Taotie was about to make another tsundere remark, Jian Yunlan stuffed a chopstick-full of fatty beef into his mouth.
Taotie instinctively bit down.
The beef was sliced paper-thin, cooked to tender perfection, and coated in a rich garlic oyster sauce and sesame oil dip. The red chili oil dripped as he chewed, releasing an explosion of fragrant, juicy flavor. The balance of tender meat fibers and silky fat was simply divine.
Taotie: “Munch munch munch!”
His golden eyes gleamed with satisfaction.
Delicious!
Since they had been running the spicy hotpot stall for days, all the ingredients were readily available. As for the hotpot base…
The moment Jian Yunlan shouted inside the house—“Aunt Ning, I need hotpot base!”—a handmade block of Aunt Ning’s legendary hotpot seasoning instantly appeared in his hands.
A gentle yet exasperated voice echoed in his ears: “You little rascal.”
“Thanks, Aunt Ning.” Jian Yunlan bowed toward the air.
And just like that—ingredients, pot, broth, chef, and diners—all were in place.
Jian Yunlan had always wanted to experience eating hotpot in the snow.
Tonight, he finally made it happen.
And that… was why they were sitting here.
Seeing how happily Hu Danggui and Taotie were eating, Jian Yunlan picked up a skewer of omasum and swished it through the hotpot seven times. The fresh omasum cooked quickly. He dipped it into the sauce, letting the fragrant sesame oil and spicy broth coat its surface.
With one bite, the omasum was crisp and fresh, its signature juiciness bursting with a delightful crunch. Absolutely delicious!
As a cook, Jian Yunlan certainly enjoyed food, but his greatest joy came from feeding others.
So, throughout the entire hotpot session, Jian Yunlan kept serving Hu Danggui and Taotie.
The warm fire crackled. Hu Danggui, who had been gobbling down food at first, soon became stuffed, her small belly round and full. “Hic… Master, I can’t eat anymore.”
She was so full that she unconsciously shifted into her fox form—a golden nine-tailed fox with a belly so round it had turned her into a ball.
Jian Yunlan: “Pfft—”
Taotie let out a chuckle as well.
Hu Danggui: “……”
Damn it!
The little fox huffed and hugged her tails, turning away in frustration. But she couldn’t resist the temptation of good food and kept sneaking glances back, taking secret bites whenever she thought no one was looking.
At last, fully satisfied, the little fox curled into a ball and snuggled between Jian Yunlan and Taotie, drifting into sleep.
With one less person to feed, Jian Yunlan shook his head regretfully.
So, he doubled the portions for Taotie instead.
“Want some beef tripe?”
“Mhm.”
“This shrimp paste is really good. Want some?”
“Mhm.”
“How about some baby cabbage—”
“Mhm.”
Jian Yunlan soon realized that no matter what he offered, Taotie would obediently take a bite.
It seemed that, as a legendary beast known for its insatiable appetite, Taotie truly had an unwavering obsession with food.
Curious, Jian Yunlan offered an empty pair of chopsticks.
Taotie bit down. “Munch munch munch.”
Jian Yunlan: “……”
After finishing the entire chopstick, Taotie frowned. “Not tasty. Tastes like wood.”
“…You literally just ate a chopstick.” Jian Yunlan was speechless.
They locked eyes for a moment—then burst into laughter.
Jian Yunlan thought back to when he had first met Taotie. Back then, despite his ethereal and unworldly appearance, Taotie had chewed on window screens and even eaten an ashtray…
Come to think of it, he really hadn’t changed much.
“Hahahaha!!”
They laughed loudly, without even knowing why. Jian Yunlan laughed so hard his stomach hurt, his eyes welling up with tears. He leaned back—accidentally resting against Taotie’s shoulder.
Taotie suddenly froze.
He was still smiling, but something about him seemed awkward. He averted his gaze, his ears turning red.
“Lord Taotie, thanks for protecting me at the stall today.” Jian Yunlan finally caught his breath, rubbing his face that had grown sore from laughing.
Even though he had been preoccupied with running the stall during his susceptibility period, he had noticed—when that thug rushed at him with a baseball bat, it was Taotie who stepped forward to protect him.
Taotie didn’t reply immediately.
He simply stared at the bubbling hotpot, then muttered a soft “Mhm.”
Outside, moonlight and snow blanketed the world, while inside, the fire crackled, swaying gently with the wind. The little white fox sprawled out beside them, fast asleep, snoring softly.
Jian Yunlan hummed a tune as he swished ingredients through the hotpot. He hadn’t felt this relaxed and happy in a long time.
Just as he was getting full and lazily warming himself by the fire, teetering on the edge of sleep, he heard a familiar voice—or maybe it was a dream.
Amid the whispering snow and crackling firewood, the voice was lazy, a little embarrassed, slightly awkward:
“…No need to thank me.”
“After all, I’m your Moonlight Hero.”

Multiverse Livestream Room
Though this scene had nothing to do with Dark River and Bright Lanterns, the audience was still glued to their screens. Instead of decreasing, viewer numbers were actually increasing.
Because—
The cozy feeling of eating hotpot in a snowy cabin was just too satisfying!
Outside, howling winds and heavy snow. Inside, a quiet bonfire and a warm, tranquil atmosphere. Many viewers found their hearts growing calm, as if they too were sitting inside the cabin, sharing this rare, peaceful moment of happiness with Jian Yunlan and his companions.
And then, Taotie’s last words dropped like a bombshell.
Many viewers immediately sensed a subtle romantic tension.
[AAAAAHHHH!!!]
[The sheer weight of “Who else but me is your Moonlight Hero”… WHO UNDERSTANDS??]
[TAOTIE YOU—]
[Never thought I’d be getting romantic crumbs in Boss Jian’s livestream (.)]
[Even Taotie stopped calling himself “This Lord”—yeyeyeyeye!!!]
[Love the atmosphere of this livestream. So peaceful, so comforting. Please release a white noise version!]
[Alright, Lord Taotie. Falling for your boss while working—you’re doomed for life. :?]
“……”
Meanwhile, in the Possessive Obsession dimension.
Four days ago, a supernatural light screen had appeared before everyone’s eyes, shattering their worldviews.
First, they learned that their world was just a book.
Second, they gained access to the Multiverse Livestream Room.
And the most obvious change?
Now, every person’s daily life included a floating livestream screen.
This light screen naturally caught the attention of official agencies from various countries, which immediately formed dedicated investigation teams to study it, but they still couldn’t decipher the exact technological structure behind it.
However, based on the information revealed by the light screen, it became clear that this world had over ten thousand dimensions, and the world they lived in was just one of these dimensions.
The light screen changed everyone’s life.
As long as they wanted to, they could open it at any time and choose from millions of live broadcasts from different dimensions to watch whatever interested them.
Some people watched live streams of interstellar technological advancements 24/7, constantly amazed by technologies that were thousands of years ahead of their own;
Others eagerly waited for live streams from ancient dimensions, watching the real lives of ancient people to satisfy their curiosity;
There were also those who, seeking excitement, explored apocalyptic dimensions, hoping to witness spellbinding magic, while others simply watched the live streams from the Multiverse, just to experience the grandeur of the top dimensions.
But the most popular live stream in the Possessive Obsession dimension was still Jian Yunlan’s live broadcast of his challenge in Dark River and Bright Lantern.
After all, Jian Yunlan was the one who had unlocked the Possessive Obsession dimension.
He could truly be called their savior.
Those who had eaten Jian Yunlan’s wontons or fried rice were no strangers to this. Every day, they would wait for his live stream, watching as they drooled, and many even ended up buying snacks recommended by the system of the live stream.
And those who never got to taste Jian Yunlan’s food—how regretful they were!
So close, yet so far.
What pain could compare to the feeling of having been so close to Jian Yunlan’s food, only to never be able to taste it again?
Many people had even passed by the entrance of Beijing University or the Yuanzhou Group but didn’t join the long lines, thinking, “It’s just street food, how good can it be?” Only to regret it bitterly later when they didn’t get in line.
Jian Yunlan’s loyal fans, such as Li Yun from Beijing University and Lin Tianqiu from Yuanzhou Group, were famous for being the first customers at Jian Yunlan’s two stall locations. They filmed videos detailing Jian Yunlan’s stall setup, as well as the taste of his wontons and fried rice…
By now, the two of them had over a million followers online. Everyone dreamt of spiritually inhabiting their bodies to experience the joy of eating Jian Yunlan’s food without the need to wait in line.
The craziest of all were Jian Yunlan’s former customers.
Ning Sheng, Gu Xingzhou, Gu Tiandong, Professor Wang, Ming Ruowei—these key figures in both real life and in the original plot of Possessive Obsession—had, in the past few days, used every means possible to bring Jian Yunlan back.
At first, they simply spent money, throwing lavish gifts in Jian Yunlan’s live stream. The wealthy patrons showered him with gifts almost as punctuation marks—each comment accompanied by a gift.
Some people had roughly calculated that the amount of money spent on gifts by these big shots would have been enough to buy a villa in the capital city center of the Multiverse dimension, just waiting for Jian Yunlan to return after finishing his challenge.
…While Jian Yunlan spent two weeks easily running his stall, the people of Possessive Obsession would spend their whole lives yearning for his return.
The hashtag #Millions of people begging for Jian Yunlan to return# had been trending for a long time.
But the official Multiverse Live Stream had not responded.
The fastest to act was Ning Sheng. Realizing that it was useless to appeal to the official Multiverse account via comments, he directly traveled to the Multiverse dimension.
That afternoon, at the headquarters of the Multiverse Live Stream.
“As everyone knows, Possessive Obsession is a melodramatic novel that has remained unsolved for nearly thirty years, and one of the main characters, Ning Sheng, has always had a very high popularity.”
The reporter, holding a microphone and smiling, was live streaming to the entire Multiverse. This was the official live stream of the Multiverse’s Book Crossing Department, and it had a high viewership.
“We’ve heard that Ning Sheng is coming to the Multiverse, and there are already many fans waiting here…”
The next moment, the reporter’s voice was drowned out by the screams of the fans, who were waving light sticks along both sides of the street.
“Ahhh! Ning Baby, my Ning Baby!!!”
“I can finally see Ning Sheng in real life! Am I really not dreaming…”
“I’ve loved you for thirty years!”
Possessive Obsession has been open for challenges for thirty years, and many fans were once die-hard followers of the original novel. Over the years, with life changes, they no longer had the time to watch the live broadcasts.
However, after the news that Possessive Obsession had been conquered by Jian Yunlan was released, many old fans rushed back into the fandom, unable to contain their excitement.
After all, the conquest of Possessive Obsession meant that they could directly communicate with the characters they loved! They could even see them in person!
Yes, every major character from the books could apply to come to the Multiverse dimension and directly converse with the staff of the Multiverse live stream.
Unlike many characters from books that take time to process, Ning Sheng, the character unlocked in this dimension, submitted his application to visit the Multiverse the very next day.
“He’s so enthusiastic, does he want to meet us?” one fan said, dreamily cupping their face.
At the bottom of the Multiverse headquarters building, Gong Siyuan held a Q-version plushie of the protagonist from Possessive Obsession, wearing red-framed glasses and a businesslike smile.
She was not as optimistic as the fans.
As the director of the Book Crossing Department, this was not her first time meeting a protagonist from a melodramatic novel.
Every time a novel was unlocked, Gong Siyuan would attend as a supervisor to meet the popular characters from the book and discuss business cooperation.
Yes, although the novel could no longer be challenged, the conquered novels still held massive economic value because the fans were still there, and who wouldn’t want to meet their favorite characters and interact with them face-to-face?
The role of the Multiverse live stream was to maximize this economic value.
For instance, in another conquered melodramatic novel, the protagonist had used his popularity in the Multiverse live stream to become a huge star. He was flooded with offers, appearing on variety shows today and filming a movie tomorrow, becoming hot in the Multiverse dimension.
However, Gong Siyuan thought Ning Sheng’s request might not be so simple.
Ning Sheng submitted his application to visit the Multiverse dimension so quickly… She had a bad feeling about it.
And that bad feeling quickly came true.
At one end of the crowd, a loud sound suddenly erupted. The reporter quickly followed with a cameraman, excitedly saying:
“It’s Ning Sheng! He just completed the dimensional jump, and his pick-up vehicle has already arrived.”
In front of the camera, a floating vehicle approached, the door opened—
A young man stepped out.
He was tall and slender, with fair skin and calm, serene features. The signature bright red tear mole under his eye accentuated his stunning face, making people turn their heads in admiration.
The crowd began to scream:
“Ning Sheng!!! Ahhhhh Ning Sheng!!! I love you!!!”
“I spent my high school days with you by my side, sob sob sob!”
“Look over here, can you sign something for us?”
The reporters rushed up, ready with many questions about the original plot of Possessive Obsession, hoping to interview Ning Sheng about his feelings:
“Ning Sheng, hello, what are your feelings towards the other protagonist, Gu Xingzhou?”
“Ning Sheng, after reading the original plot, what are your thoughts?”
“I’m asking on behalf of the fans, Ning Sheng—”
Facing the microphones from seven or eight reporters, Ning Sheng did not answer immediately.
His eyes were distant and graceful, his appearance flawless even under the numerous cameras.
Ning Sheng lowered his gaze, the long lashes casting a misty shadow beneath his eyes.
There was a cold yet faint sorrow around him, and the red mark at the corner of his eye only made the sadness appear even more heartbreaking.
And yes, the fans’ hearts broke.
“Ning Baby looks so sad.”
“Don’t be sad, my heart is breaking.”
“Ning Baby, whatever you want, we’ll give it to you…”
Tens of millions of eyes were filled with sympathy for Ning Sheng, and the reporters were too afraid to ask any more questions, frozen with microphones in hand.
Had they asked too abruptly? The reporters began to question themselves.
In the next moment, Ning Sheng lowered his eyes, reached into his chest, and pulled out a banner.
The banner had seven bold golden characters on a red background, with Q-version illustrations of wontons and fried rice at the bottom.
The blank spaces on the banner were filled with various signatures, the largest being Gu Xingzhou’s, and in the corners were drawings of roses by Ming Ruowei, signatures from Bei Shi and Zhang Mo, Professor Wang and Professor Murong, etc.
Yes, Ning Sheng had come for one thing only.
The banner read in bold letters:
“Give me back my mom’s Jian Yunlan!!!!!!!!!!”
Fans: “…”
Fans: “?”
Everyone rubbed their eyes. Before they could process it, Gong Siyuan took a big step forward, sweating profusely, and pulled Ning Sheng into the building.
“Uh, Mr. Ning, please calm down. We’ll discuss the details in the meeting room, hahaha.”
With a thud, the door slammed shut.

“Dark River, Bright Light” Dimension.
At 3 AM, the night was silent.
Jian Yunlan was fast asleep, his phone placed beside him. After days of exhaustion and the satisfying feeling from the hot pot he had just eaten, he slept soundly.
The Taotie in its dog form and the little fox in its fox form, Hu Danggui, were both lying on the bed, sprawled out, in deep sleep.
This was a rare warm moment at the Jian family villa.
In such a quiet late night, in an unnoticed corner…
Jian Yunlan’s phone screen suddenly lit up. A notification from the Chef God App:
[After three days of hard work, you’ve brought comforting delicacies to countless diners. The Chef God system is with you, through thick and thin~]
[You have new task rewards to claim!]
[The system has detected that you’ve completed your task ahead of schedule. The difficulty is considered low and has been automatically adjusted. We are now matching you with a new food stall task. Matching in progress…]
[Matching successful!]
[Main task: For the next six days, from 4 AM to 5 AM, set up a stall selling fried chicken outside the summer camp attended by the protagonist, Fu Changfeng.]
[Do you accept this main task? Accept/Reject]
Jian Yunlan, still in a half-dazed sleep, mumbled in her sleep: “Set up a stall… I want to set up a stall…”
The phone screen flickered:
[Main task automatically accepted!]
[You’ve received [Fried Chicken Recipe Collection] x1]
