Time passed quickly while the two of them chatted. The buns that were supposed to start steaming at 10 o’clock were not put in the steamer until almost 12 o’clock, and those customers who got the news were waiting there even earlier near Mu’s house.
They intended to arrive swiftly and queue up at 12 o’clock, which was comparable to everyone’s reaction time and quickness.
Mu Chen was very sensitive to noise, and he could hear everything outside clearly, let alone those customers who didn’t want to lower the volume.
“You sit here first, I’ll put the buns on the steamer.” Mu Chen said to Mu Yan.
“I’ll go with you.” Mu Yan grabbed Mu Chen’s big hand.
The two had recently acknowledged their feelings to each other, and their relationship had improved as a result. Their relationship had progressed, and they naturally desired to spend as much time as possible with their loved ones.
In truth, Mu Chen was unwilling to leave Mu Yan, even if only for a short while. But he was concerned that he would be exhausted, so he let him rest on the swing. However, now that Mu Yan had taken the initiative to join him, he would understandably accept.
With a lovely look, the two of them placed the steamed buns in the basket and then replaced it with the buns to steam. A thick pink bubble emitted between them from start to finish.
As a result, when Mu’s door was opened, all the eager customers witnessed the odd predicament of the two bosses today, and they were taken aback by dog food all over their faces.
005: Hehe, stupid human beings!
“There aren’t many steamed buns available today, first come, first served.” Mu Chen was in a good mood, even when confronted with these customers, he maintained a subtle smile on his face.
Customers were originally taken aback by Mu Chen’s smile, but when they learned that there weren’t many steamed buns available, they were shocked, and one hurriedly requested, “Give me ten steamed buns.”
“Leave me ten steamed buns, my wife and children haven’t eaten yet.”
“Give me twenty buns.”
“Oh no, the person in front, please buy less. Leave some for those who are left behind.”
The setting was chaotic, like a vegetable market. Mu Chen would have let go of the chilly air even if he hadn’t been angry in the past. Today, though, he was incredibly patient, smiling from start to finish, and people who saw him couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
“Big Boss seems to be in a good mood today?” Someone couldn’t help but speak tentatively.
“Well, it’s very good.” Mu Chen replied with a smile and nodded.
Customers: Z (° △. | | |) |
The cold-faced Hades actually smiled and answered, did the sun come out from the west?
“What’s the happy event?” Someone else inquired.

Mu Chen unexpectedly said again, “Well, Mumu confessed to me.”

“Big Boss has been smiling nonstop today. I’m having hallucinations.”
“I noticed it as well. Could it be that I’m also hallucinating?”
“Tsk tsk… Little Boss is quite impressive. He merely confessed and transformed Big Boss into this.”
“I didn’t expect Big Boss to be such a person.”
“Huh, the one who shows affection is really the most annoying, especially when it’s in front of single dogs.”
“But Big Boss is so handsome, especially when he smiles, and he’s so fascinating.”
“…”
Everyone was talking in different voices, yet it had no effect on Mu Chen’s mood. He believed that his excellent mood could last for several days.
As usual, they headed to the forest in the afternoon to look for ingredients. However, because Mu Yan had bound Mu Chen as a partner, the other side was also aware of the system’s existence. So there was no need to conceal the ingredients this time, making it considerably easier.
Mu Yan also let go of the jade snake he had previously contracted; after all, this little thing was far more skilled at locating materials than they were.
Mu Chen was taken aback by the little snake that appeared out of nowhere, but he immediately returned to normal. Some of the previous events have an explanation as well.
“Ah Chen, this is the jade snake. 005 said it is an expert at finding ingredients. As long as the contract is signed, it can listen to us.” Mu Yan took the initiative to explain to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen was pleased by Mu Yan’s ‘us’, and he was in a good mood.
005 flew above the two of them, dissatisfied watching them communicate below. Of course, this dissatisfaction was directed mostly at Mu Chen.
005 used to communicate with the host when he followed him to the forest. However, because Mu Chen was with the host, 005 had fallen, out, of, favor!
He became entirely ‘transparent’ after the host bound Mu Chen as a partner. Was there ever a system more pitiful than him? No!
The jade snake appeared to have been held back for a long time, and when it was released, it vanished without a trace. However, no one was worried because the contracted pet, even though it was far away, the owner could sense its presence, so they were not worried that it would go missing.
This time, Mu Chen and Mu Yan were obviously more relaxed than before, probably because of the presence of the jade snake.
The jade snake, as expected, did not disappoint its owner, nor did it live up to its moniker of “little expert in finding ingredients.” After a while, it appeared from a tuft of grass, circled Mu Yan a few times, and then began to climb up along his pants, as if it wanted to reach Mu Yan’s wrist, but it was stopped halfway by a large hand.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…” The jade snake examined the guy who was obstructing it with interest. When it saw this, it wailed louder and more miserable, and its body twisted frantically, clearly recalling its initial terror of being caught.
“Don’t move!” Mu Chen muttered coldly, but the jade snake really didn’t move anymore, keeping its strange twisting posture, and stayed immobile in Mu Chen’s hands.
005: ..
“It’s really worthless. You stay still when you’re told to do so. It’s too weak…” 005 muttered in a low voice.
Jade snake: (ノ﹏ヽ) Blame me me, blame me, can this blame me? This person is so terrifying. Why would the little master have such a terrifying companion? Then do I still have a living body in the future?
“Xiaolu, did you find anything? Did you find any other ingredients?” Mu Yan didn’t notice the dark turbulence between Xiaolu and Mu Chen, but only noticed the excitement when it returned.
Mu Yan was able to perceive Xiaolu’s emotions to some level because of the contractual link.
Only now did Xiaolu dare to move its eyeballs. It stared at the small master first, then at Mu Chen, unsure whether it should respond to the little master.
“Huh? What’s wrong with Xiaolu?” Mu Yan was perplexed when he spotted the jade snake’s peculiar position.
“Probably because it was too excited to find the ingredients.” Mu Chen answered quietly, and then placed the jade snake on the ground naturally.
Xiaolu finally exhaled a sigh of relief, but it wouldn’t dare to climb upon the little master’s body without permission, so it could only circle around on the ground hissing at him.
Xiaolu: Master, I found something delicious. Come with me quickly.
The jade snake began to slip in one direction after a few turns.
“Xiaolu must have discovered something delicious, let’s hurry up.” Finally being able to place a sentence between the couple, 005 exclaimed! It was overjoyed to the point of crying!
They began following Xiaolu, moving through deep grass, bypassing tall trees, and eventually arriving at a low shrub.
Clusters of vivid red berries hung from the bushes, looking like grapes from Mu Yan’s previous world. They were the size of grapes, but their colors were extraordinarily vibrant. Mu Yan would not dare to pick them if he did not have Xiaolu and appraisal skill.
Xiaolu had been circling around these bushes, apparently the ingredients it found were these bright red berries.
Mu Yan used the appraisal skill, and then heard the system’s cold voice, [Sweet and sour fruit, sweet and sour in taste, edible.]
Mu Chen also heard this sound for the first time. He didn’t seem surprised, though. Because he had previously been shocked by the system, he had a certain acceptance of its functioning.
“Ah Chen, this thing is edible, it should be a kind of fruit.” Mu Yan looked at Mu Chen and said excitedly, this was the first time he found fruit.
Mu Chen stepped forward to pick one off, tasted it, the taste was indeed somewhat sweet and sour as the system said. It was delicious, even better than flavored nutritional solutions.
He took another one off, rubbed it carefully, before handing it to Mu Yan’s mouth.
Mu Yan opened his mouth and took a bite, the sweet and sour feeling immediately filled his mouth, making him want to eat it even more.
As if “hearing” Mu Yan’s thoughts, Mu Chen took another one and handed it to Mu Yan’s mouth, feeding five or six in a row before stopping.
“This thing should not be eaten too much, let’s pick some back.” Mu Chen said and began to pick them up.
There seemed to be a lot of sweet and sour fruits on the bushes, but there were not many to pick, only half a basket full.
Just as everyone was picking sour and sweet fruits, the jade snake had already disappeared, perhaps looking for other ingredients.
With Xiaolu’s presence, it is much more efficient for everyone to find ingredients.
On this forest trip, everyone gained a lot, especially when they were about to leave the forest at the end, Xiaolu gave Mu Yan a big surprise.
Wheat! Xiaolu finds him wheat! A wheat field!
Although the field was not big, this was definitely a big surprise, compared to all the ingredients found before, it was more shocking.
“Ah Chen, we have found the wheat. We’re really lucky. In the future, we can have flour and complete the task faster.” Mu Yan excitedly hugged Mu Chen’s arm and jumped, his joy was beyond words.
Looking indulgently at Mu Yan, there was also a faint smile on Mu Chen’s face.
005 was obviously also very happy, “Yanyan, let’s go back and grind it into flour quickly. I don’t know what the taste of steamed buns made with flour is. Will it taste better than nutritional powder?”
It had to be said that the focus of a foodie was never the same as others!
