Chapter 1: What a scumbag

Four o'clock in the afternoon, in the boss's office.

Su Manning came to the desk, Sister Zhang, you are looking for me?

A middle-aged woman in her forties in black sat behind the desk, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, with a smile on her lips.

Manning, I came to you today because I want to tell you something. Your internship is about to end...

Su Manning heard this and subconsciously thought that Zhang Lan was going to tell her about the regularization. She was a little excited and she would get the regularization salary soon!

Zhang Lan continued, Through the inspection of your various abilities during this period, the company decided not to delay your future. From tomorrow, you don't have to come to work in the company anymore.

Su Manning's face froze for a moment, and her joy seemed to be suddenly extinguished by a basin of cold water. She was fired!

Sister Zhang, are you sure you are right? It has been several months since the first day I joined the company, and all the work has been completed on time and with quality!

Manning, you do a good job, but compared with Lin Yan, you are still a little behind, so the company decided to keep her this time...

When Su Manning heard the word Lin Yan, she immediately understood.

Lin Yan is the boss's niece, and the relationship is there. Even if Su Manning does a good job, she can't compare.

Su Manning, who learned the truth, lost her face, I don't think it's my ability that's a problem, it's that I don't have any connections behind me!

Zhang Lan's face was calm, Manning, the workplace is not all about ability, we will pay you this month's salary on time.

Su Manning turned around and left her office directly.

She returned to her workstation and quickly packed up her things, ready to leave.

Lin Yan, who was standing aside, seemed to have known about this for a long time, and looked at her with a smug look on her face with her arms around her.

Manning, take care.

Su Manning: ...

On the way back to her residence, Su Manning felt more and more wronged. She picked up her phone and planned to send a message to Zhou Ningyuan to complain about the company.

Unexpectedly, after turning on the screen, she found an unread message from Zhou Ningyuan. She clicked on it and saw that her anger seemed to be poured with oil.

Manning, let's break up. I'm not a good boyfriend. I can't give you anything. You will definitely find a better man than me.

Su Manning couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the phone. There were many people on the subway, so she held back and didn't say anything.

After returning to her residence, the phone rang. It was the landlord calling.

Not knowing what the other party wanted, Su Manning directly clicked to answer.

Hello, Aunt Wang.

Xiao Su, my son is getting married soon. I plan to take back the house you live in by the end of the month. You should find another place to move to.

Su Manning suppressed her anger. Today is February 28th, and February will end in one day.

Auntie Wang, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were going to take over the house? You suddenly asked me to move out. Where can I find a house in such a short time?!

Xiao Su, I have no choice. You should pack up quickly. Let's leave it at that.

Beep—

The other end hung up the phone directly.

Su Manning leaned back on the sofa as if all her strength had been drained away.

She didn't understand what happened today, why she was so unlucky, first she was laid off, then she broke up, and now she even had no place to live.

She opened a bank app and checked the balance, which was only 3420.56 yuan.

The salary during the internship period was not high, only more than 3,000 yuan a month. After deducting rent, water, electricity, food, transportation, and phone bills every month, there was basically nothing left. I haven't bought new clothes for a long time. If there is any unexpected situation, it will cost more.

Places like Ningcheng have high consumption. Renting a house basically requires a deposit of one and a half months. The remaining money is not enough to find a new house.

There was a red dot in the Moments column. Su Manning clicked on it. This almost made her vomit blood.

Shen Hanxiao posted a photo with Zhou Ningyuan, with the caption Mr. Zhou, please give me your guidance for the rest of my life!

In the photo, the two of them were very close, smiling, and looked very sweet.

Su Manning almost threw her phone away, but when she thought that she had lost her job and had no money to buy a new one if she broke it, she controlled her hand.

What a scumbag!

It turned out that it was a seamless connection, and the one connected was none other than the campus belle of Ningcheng University.

Shen Hanxiao was not only beautiful, but also had a rich family. She had pursued Zhou Ningyuan when she was in college.

Scumbag! No wonder they suddenly wanted to break up!

A series of bad things happened, and Su Manning wanted to cry, but she couldn't shed tears.

How could God be so cruel to a newbie who just entered the workplace?

[Ding Ding Ding! ]

Hmm?

What sound?

Su Manning immediately stood up from the sofa and looked around. She was the only one in the room.

[The food system has detected a suitable host! ]

[The system is binding...]

[Binding progress: 10%, 20%, 50%...100%! ]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the food system is successfully bound! ]

[Host: Su Manning]

[Age: 23]

[Height: 162cm]

[Weight: 47KG]

[Appearance: 92/100]

[Body: 88/100]

[Charm: 88/100]

[Assets: 3420.56 yuan]

Su Manning was confused. What did she just hear?

The legendary system? !

The system that only appears in novels? !

I don’t know how many novels I have read in my spare time. No matter how ordinary people are, once they have the help of the system, it is not a dream to make a fortune, marry a male god and reach the peak of life!

I have a system too?!

The system replied quickly, [Hmm! ]

Because she was too excited, Su Manning couldn’t help but jump three feet high.

When she came to her senses, Su Manning remembered to understand the rules.

What do I need to do? What can you provide me?

[The system will occasionally release some food tasks. As long as you complete them, you can get rich rewards. ]

Then you should quickly assign tasks to me! Su Manning was a little impatient.

No one should be more miserable than her now. February is about to end, and she can no longer live in this house. She may end up on the street.

[System task: Please cook a meal for yourself! ]

[Task success: reward 1,000,000 yuan; in addition, you can get an infinite storage space! ]

Su Manning was stunned when she heard the astronomical figure.

Tongzi, I didn't study much, so don't lie to me. Can you really reward me one million for cooking a meal?

[Yes, host! ]

[Host, don't be surprised. This is just an elementary task. The more you go, the more rewards you will get! ]

Su Manning suddenly felt that her blood pressure was a little high. She made more than 3,000 yuan a month and never thought that she could make so much money one day.

Chapter 2: Another 1.5 million

And a space, which is something you can only see in novels.

Excited, she came to the small kitchen.

She has always lived alone, and there are not many things to eat at home. There are a few bags of instant noodles and a few potatoes in the cabinet.

Usually, she just makes do when she gets home from get off work, and often instant noodles are a meal.

Su Manning immediately had an idea, just cook some instant noodles and stir-fry some shredded potatoes.

Anyway, the system just asked her to cook a meal, and didn't specify what to cook.

Su Manning picked up the small milk pot, filled some water and put it on the gas stove to boil.

While the water was boiling, she peeled and washed a few potatoes, cut them into shreds, and prepared some seasonings.

Putting the wok on the gas stove, Su Manning poured some oil into it, added the seasonings prepared in advance, and kept stir-frying with a spatula.

When the aroma came out, Su Manning poured the shredded potatoes into it, and the pot immediately made a sizzling sound.

The water in the small milk pot next to it also boiled. Su Manning put the instant noodles in, added the seasoning packet, and then beat an egg in. Although they were all very ordinary foods, they tasted very fragrant. The dishes were almost cooked, Su Manning served the shredded potatoes, and the noodles were cooked. As soon as the hot noodles and dishes were served, the system prompt sound was heard immediately. [Ding!] [Mission successful! Congratulations to the host for winning 1,000,000 yuan, congratulations to the host for getting storage space!] Su Manning didn't bother to look at any space, and quickly opened the bank app to check her balance. The long string of numbers made Su Manning's breath choke for a moment. She counted over and over again many times, confirmed that there was no mistake, and immediately smiled. However, she suddenly worried about the source of the money. Tongzi, will there be any problem with my sudden large amount of money? Is the source of this money legitimate? [Host, please rest assured! All system rewards are legal and reasonable, there is no problem! 】

That's great!

Suddenly getting such a large sum of money diluted all the grievances and anger that Su Manning had encountered that day.

Get away from the garbage company and the scumbag!

She is rich now!

After eating the shredded potatoes and instant noodles she had just made, Su Manning began to plan her next move.

She already had one million, and the first thing she thought of was to buy a house, but after a little thought, she felt that now was not the most appropriate time.

One million in savings is definitely enough for food and drink, but the housing prices in Ningcheng are ridiculously high. If you want to live a little more comfortably, you need at least four million. If you don't have enough money, it will be troublesome to change it later.

It's better to wait a little longer, do more tasks and get more money before making plans.

Anyway, I have one million in my hand, so I can find a better hotel to live in for a while.

Su Manning also thought of the system giving her a space, but she didn't have time to see what it was like.

As soon as she thought, she felt the existence of that space, which was empty and could not see the end.

Su Manning tried to enter the space, but seemed to be blocked by some invisible barrier.

[Host, the storage space cannot be used for people or living things, but everything else can be placed. ]

Oh, okay.

Su Manning picked up a cup on the table and put it into the space with a thought.

The cup returned to her hand with another thought.

This space is really good! It will be very convenient to store things when moving.

Faced with the host's praise, the system was not modest at all, [That's right! ]

......

The next morning, Su Manning just opened her eyes and heard the system prompt sound before she was fully awake.

[System task: Please make a dish of stir-fried pork with green peppers within an hour! ]

[Task success: reward of 1,500,000 yuan; 1 promotion point can be obtained! ]

Su Manning woke up immediately and jumped out of bed.

This time the reward was more money, but there was also a time limit, which was more difficult than the first task.

But for the sake of money, she had no complaints.

In the past, I worked hard in front of the computer for a month, and occasionally worked overtime, and only earned more than 3,000 yuan.

Now I can earn 1.5 million yuan just by cooking one dish. This is really great!

There is a supermarket near the rented house. Su Manning used to buy some vegetables after get off work.

But this time there was a time limit. She was afraid that she would not be able to catch up if she walked there, so she scanned the code and rode a bicycle.

Today is a weekday, and there are not many people in the supermarket. Su Manning often comes here to buy things and is very familiar with the layout inside.

She quickly found the place where vegetables were sold. She picked a box of packaged green peppers and put them in the basket. The prices were all posted on it. She could pay directly later, and there was no need to weigh them on the electronic scale.

Then she went to the place where meat was sold, picked a box of lean meat from the many packaged raw meats, and then hurried to the cashier.

There were condiments such as onions and ginger at home, so this time she only needed to buy green peppers and meat, and nothing else.

In order to save time, Su Manning went directly to the unmanned cashier.

After placing the barcodes of the two products in front of the machine and scanning them, the product names and prices were immediately displayed on the screen.

The boxed lean meat was small in quantity, and a box cost only a dozen yuan, which was just right for one person.

After scanning the code and paying, Su Manning looked at the time. It took about ten minutes from the supermarket to the end of the shopping, so she was in time.

Coming to the kitchen, Su Manning quickly opened the box, took out the things inside and cleaned them.

The kitchen knife and cutting board were prepared in turn, and Su Manning cut the lean meat and green pepper into shreds.

Turning off the switch of the gas stove, a blue flame suddenly came up.

After the water droplets in the pot dried up, Su Manning poured some oil into it, added the green onion and ginger and stir-fried for a few times, and then poured in the shredded meat.

Under the action of high temperature, the red shredded meat gradually turned white, and Su Manning poured some soy sauce into it to adjust the color. The white shredded meat had the color of soy sauce, which looked much better and smelled fragrant.

When the shredded meat was almost cooked, Su Manning poured the green pepper in and stir-fried it.

Green peppers cook quickly, so they can't be cooked for too long, otherwise the color won't look good.

Although I'm not very proficient in cooking, I have no problem cooking a few home-cooked dishes.

After covering the pot and simmering for a while, Su Manning took out the vegetables inside, and a fragrant green pepper fried with pork was ready.

I looked at the time, and it took more than fifty minutes from the time the system issued the task to the completion of the task.

[Ding! ]

[Task successful! Congratulations to the host for getting 1,500,000 yuan, and congratulations to the host for getting 1 promotion point! ]

After hearing the system prompt sound, Su Manning opened the app to check the balance as soon as possible. There was another 1.5 million yuan in the card, and she was very happy.

Chapter 3: Host, please respect yourself

With the reward from the first mission, she already has 2.5 million. It won't be long before she can buy herself a house. She no longer has to worry about the landlord taking back the house or raising the rent. She can also buy whatever she likes.

Tongzi, you just said you gave me 1 improvement point. What is that? What is it for?

[Host, improvement points can be used to improve your height, appearance, figure, and charm. ]

Su Manning thought for a while, Add it to my appearance.

Su Manning is very satisfied with her appearance, but since there are improvement points, she doesn't mind being prettier.

[Okay host, I'll give it to you right away. ]

As soon as the prompt sound ended, Su Manning saw a translucent system panel in front of her.

[Host: Su Manning]

[Age: 23]

[Height: 162cm]

[Weight: 47KG]

[Appearance: 93/100]

[Body: 88/100]

[Charm: 88/100]

[Assets: 2.5 million yuan]

When she saw the column of assets, Su Manning raised her lips with satisfaction. In just two days, she already had 2.5 million yuan, and she didn't even show the few thousand yuan she had before.

Su Manning came to the mirror and looked at her face carefully. It seemed that she had indeed become a little prettier.

Her appearance had not changed, but she just felt a little prettier. She couldn't tell what was different.

Su Manning finished the stir-fried pork with green peppers that she had just made, and began to pack up.

The house was about to expire, and she had to pack up her things and put them in the space to take away.

After everything was sorted out, Su Manning contacted the landlord directly to check out.

That night, she moved into the hotel.

Lying on the soft and comfortable big bed, she rolled around happily twice. It was much more comfortable than the house she rented before.

Her living conditions were so bad the day before, but suddenly with the system, everything changed dramatically.

Tongzi, I really love you!

[......]

[Host, please respect yourself! I'm just a cold and emotionless system. Don't love me, it won't work! ]

Hahaha...

What a cute little girl.

The phone suddenly beeped.

Su Manying turned on the screen and took a look. It was a message from Qiao Yiyi.

[Tomorrow is the weekend. Are you free? A western restaurant just opened in the mall near me. The food is good. I'll treat you! ]

Qiao Yiyi is Su Manying's good friend. They lived in the same dormitory for several years in college. They kept in touch after leaving school and made plans for dinner every now and then.

Su Manying immediately typed a reply, [Free! I'll go to see you tomorrow. I'll treat you! ]

Su Manning has no parents and grew up in an orphanage. It was not easy for her to get to where she is now. She only finished high school and college with the help of an anonymous man.

Qiao Yiyi knew her situation and often took the initiative to pay for meals when they went out. She also often gave her some fruits and daily necessities, and always found various reasons to help her secretly.

With so much money in her card all of a sudden, Su Manning wanted to treat her to a meal and give back.

Qiao Yiyi: [It's rare! You didn't even ask your handsome Zhou out to watch a movie this time? ]

Su Manning's face turned cold when Zhou Ningyuan was mentioned, but she thought that she had already received so much money, and it seemed unnecessary to be angry with that kind of person.

What if she got angry and developed nodules? It would be too worthless!

Su Manning typed two words in the input box, [Divided! ]

The other side quickly replied with three question marks, and Su Manning did not reply again. It would be better to tell her about this matter when we meet.

......

Pah—!

Qiao Yiyi was so angry when she learned that Su Manying and Zhou Ningyuan had broken up that she slammed the table. When she got angry, she didn't care if there were people around.

This Zhou Ningyuan! A scumbag! I didn't like him when we were in college! Shen Hanxiao pursued him, but he didn't accept or refuse. He just kept hanging around, and now they are together! Just after she sent the breakup message, Shen Hanxiao posted a photo together. How can this be a seamless transition?! It's obvious that she cheated when she was with you!!! That Shen Hanxiao is not a good thing either! She knew he had a girlfriend but still stuck with him, as if she had never seen a man! Scumbag and bitch, I hope they get married on the spot! Never come out to harm others! I'm so angry!!!

Su Manying quickly raised a finger at the corner of her lips, Keep your voice down.

Qiao Yiyi was very angry. If you didn't know, you would think her boyfriend was taken away by someone.

Hmph! This scumbag!

After scolding, Qiao Yiyi looked at her good friend with some worry, Manning, don't be sad, he's just a piece of trash, you should thank Shen Hanxiao for taking him away, you deserve better!

Su Manning looked calm, I'm not sad, we broke up, it doesn't matter.

In fact, Su Manning didn't like Zhou Ningyuan that much. When he was pursuing her, she accepted him when he bought her a cup of milk tea in the rain. Maybe it was because she lacked love so much that she was easily moved by others' little kindness to her.

If you think about it carefully, Zhou Ningyuan didn't have any advantages that could attract her.

Qiao Yiyi didn't really believe her words, always thinking that she was pretending not to be sad, Manning, I have a friend who is still single. He looks good and has a good job, not worse than Zhou Ningyuan. How about I introduce him to you.

Su Manning shook her head without thinking, No, I don't want to think about love now, I just want to make money.

Su Manning didn't plan to tell Qiao Yiyi about the large amount of money in the card for the time being. Although they were good friends, Su Manning didn't intend to deceive her, but it sounded too strange to suddenly bind a system.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Qiao Yiyi nodded.

Su Manning left her seat and smelled a strong perfume on the way to wash her hands.

Until the smell became stronger and stronger, a woman with very delicate makeup and dress came towards her.

Su Manning raised her eyes and took a look. Who else could it be but Shen Hanxiao.

The other party spoke first, Hey! Su Manning, you are here too?

Su Manning didn't want to pay attention to such nonsense, and felt disgusted when she saw her.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Shen Hanxiao spoke again, Su Manning, you didn't follow me here on purpose because you knew Ning Yuan and I were here, did you? I advise you not to waste your energy. He has already broken up with you. If you keep pestering him, he will only hate you more!

Su Manning was not annoyed by her words, and she even wanted to laugh, If you are sick, go see a doctor, okay? Don't come out and bite people randomly! You treat the garbage I don't want as a treasure. You two are really a perfect match, one is garbage, and the other likes to pick up garbage! I've heard that you have to stay away from dogs when they eat shit, otherwise they always think that others are going to steal it. Today I have seen it!

Chapter 4: No big words

Shen Hanxiao frowned , and his voice suddenly raised a few points, Su Manying! You just can't eat the grapes and say the grapes are sour. You must be jealous that I can be with Ning Yuan, but you can't blame others. If you want to blame, I blame you. You can't give him anything! But I am different. With my family's ability, I can save him twenty years of struggle!

Su Manying could also guess that Zhou Ningyuan might have chosen Shen Hanxiao because of money issues. When she went out to eat with him in the past, Su Manying was too embarrassed to spend his money, so she gave him half every time, and Zhou Ningyuan also accepted it.

Not wanting to continue to quarrel with this woman, Su Manying turned around and left.

Zhou Ningyuan was waiting nearby. The moment the two saw each other, Su Manying did not hide the disgust in her eyes, but Zhou Ningyuan did not feel any guilt at all.

Man Ning, I've made it very clear. There is no possibility between us anymore. It makes no sense for you to be entangled like this.

what? !

Su Manying was speechless.

Did he also think that she followed them here on purpose?

Sure enough, it’s not like a family doesn’t want to enter a house!

After returning to her seat, Su Manying had no appetite for the food on the table. It was so disgusting!

Qiao Yiyi kept talking, What's wrong? Is it not to your taste?

Su Manying shook her head, I saw Shen Hanxiao and Zhou Ningyuan outside just now. They thought I knew they were coming and followed them here on purpose. Shen Hanxiao also said that I was jealous that she could be with Zhou Ningyuan. You Can you understand how I feel now...

Qiao Yiyi frowned, Where are they? I'm going to scold them! What do they think they are?!

Su Manying raised her hand to signal her not to be impulsive, Sit down. Just stay away from people like this in the future. I feel like it's a waste of time to say a word to them. Let's eat.

There's no need to waste your time on people who don't deserve it.

Qiao Yiyi nodded and continued to eat the food in front of her.

Unintentionally raising her eyes, she saw that Su Manying opposite her seemed to have become a little prettier.

Man Ning, why do I feel that you have become more beautiful?

Su Manying curved her lips and smiled. The improvement points given by the system were not in vain.

Really? Wasn't she beautiful before?

Qiao Yiyi nodded vigorously, then shook her head vigorously, She was beautiful before, but she's even more beautiful now. Then Shen Hanxiao can't compare to you! She's also the school beauty. I really don't know how she was chosen at that time!

We won't talk about them anymore, it's too disappointing!

Uh-huh!

...

On her way back to the hotel, Su Manying suddenly heard a system notification.

[System task: Ask the host to make a tomato scrambled egg dish within an hour! 】

[Mission successful: Reward 2,000,000 yuan; in addition, you can get 1 promotion point! 】

Here comes another mission, two million!

Su Manning is full of motivation!

After receiving the task, she bought groceries directly on her mobile phone and filled in the hotel address.

When I moved out of the rental house, I considered that I might need to cook, so I looked for a hotel where I could cook.

Su Manying got into a taxi, and the phone showed that she would be there in fifteen minutes.

The vegetables I bought are already being delivered. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes are not a hassle and it doesn’t take much time to make.

Not long after returning to the room, the groceries I bought arrived.

Su Manying looked at the time and saw half an hour left.

She quickly washed the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces, broke the eggs into a bowl, and stirred evenly.

After the pot was hot, she poured the egg liquid into it.

Under the stirring of the shovel, the egg liquid solidifies quickly and emits a faint fragrance.

Then pour the tomato pieces in, stir-fry a few times, add water, cover and simmer for a while.

When the tomatoes became soft and rotten and the soup became red, Su Manning added some seasonings and then took it out of the pot.

A dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes was successfully completed.

【Ding! 】

【Mission successful! Congratulations to the host for getting 2,000,000 yuan, and congratulations to the host for getting 1 promotion point! 】

Add the improvement points to your height for me.

[Good host! 】

As the beep ended, some attribute values ​​on the system panel changed.

[Host: Su Manning]

【Age: 23】

[Height: 163cm]

[Weight: 47KG]

[Appearance: 93/100]

[Shadow: 88/100]

[Charm: 88/100]

[Assets: 4.5 million yuan]

The last string of numbers looked particularly happy. In just a few days, there were already more than four million.

She came to the mirror and took a look. Although her height had been increased, it was not very obvious and she felt that there was no change.

Tongzi, can you give me more tasks?

Su Maning hopes to make money quickly and earn more promotion points to make herself better and better.

[Host, I just completed a task. New tasks are not so fast. 】

Su Manying was a little disappointed, but it was expected.

Is it true that the further you go, the more money you will receive as a reward?

[Yes, the host, but the difficulty may be slightly higher. 】

Su Maning understood that she was not afraid of making things more difficult. As long as the money was given enough, the difficulty should be there.

So many people her age are still working as migrant workers. They can't make much money if they leave early and return late. Some of them may not have found a job yet.

In comparison, she was already doing very well.

Su Manying took a hot bath, lay on the comfortable big bed and played with her mobile phone, and fell asleep unconsciously.

...

I slept until noon, until I was woken up by a system sound.

[System task: Ask the host to obtain 10 delicious appreciation points within seven days! 】

[Mission successful: a Cuiwei Lake villa will be rewarded; in addition, 1 promotion point will be obtained! 】

Su Manying suddenly sat up from the bed, and her sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

Cuiwei Lake Villa Area is a well-known wealthy area in Ningcheng. The villas there are not something that can be bought with money. They are all occupied by people with a certain status.

In the past two days, she had been thinking about saving up more money before buying a house. Unexpectedly, the system would directly reward her with a villa. Not bad!

However, Su Manying was confused as to what this delicious appreciation value meant.

Tongzi, does the delicious appreciation value mean that others praise the food I cook for being delicious?

[Yes, host, there is no limit on food, and there is no limit on the form of appreciation. You only need to get praise from 10 people within seven days to be successful! 】

It doesn't sound very difficult. Su Manying thinks that the food she makes is not terrible, so it shouldn't be difficult to get a few compliments.

The phone was beeping non-stop. Su Manying opened it and looked at it. It was news from her classmates.

Many people's internship period is coming to an end, and someone suggested taking advantage of these two nights to have a dinner together. Almost everyone in the group agreed, and they all typed 1 and sent the message. Su Manying also replied with 1.

Chapter 5: Your cooking skills are really good

She got up quickly , washed up and went to the supermarket.

She bought some things needed to make egg tarts. There was an oven in the room where she lived, so she could bake some small egg tarts and put them in the space, and bring them directly to the party.

On the day of moving, Su Manying put all her things into the space, including the cups filled with hot water and the food in the refrigerator.

After moving into the hotel, she found that the things in the space had hardly changed at all, the hot ones were still hot, and the cold ones were still cold.

This also made her sure that the storage space sent by the system was static, and the food would not go bad if placed in it, so the baked small egg tarts should be the same as if they were just out of the oven.

Su Manying washed the blueberries and put them on a plate for later use. She found a favorite TV series, took out the egg tart crust from the box while watching it, poured the egg tart liquid on it, and then put in a few blueberries.

The original egg tarts have no special features, and adding a few blueberries to it tastes better.

The reason why we chose to bake egg tarts is because they are easy to make. The egg tart crust and egg tart liquid are ready-made, and they just need to be baked.

It takes about 30 minutes to bake egg tarts. Su Manning curled up on the sofa, holding a pillow in her arms, watching with relish.

The fragrance gradually wafted out of the oven, and you could see the egg tarts gradually turning brown in the oven.

After the first batch of egg tarts were baked, Su Manning was very satisfied with the results. She couldn't help but taste two. The taste was very good. She packed the rest and put them into the space, and continued to bake the next batch.

......

The party was scheduled for eight o'clock the next night, and it was dark.

Su Manning took a taxi to the location posted in the group, holding a paper bag in her hand, which contained several boxes of egg tarts.

Almost everyone had arrived, and Qiao Yiyi also sat down.

When Su Manning walked into the private room with her things, the classmates were very enthusiastic about this beautiful girl in the class.

Man Ning is here! Come and sit down! Qiao Yiyi went up to her and took her arm, I thought you weren't coming. How could I not come when everyone else is coming? Su Man Ning didn't rush to sit down, and put the egg tarts she brought in the middle of the table, I baked some egg tarts before I came, and brought them for everyone to try. Everyone at the table was flattered by the aroma. They came here for a dinner party, but no one except Su Man Ning thought of bringing food for others. Qiao Yiyi reached out and took one and put it to her mouth. The egg tart was still warm. When she took a bite, it was crispy on the outside, but tender on the inside, and it had the sweetness of blueberries. Not bad! It's delicious! [Task completion progress: 1/10] The rest of the people also reached out their hands. Before the dishes were served, everyone at the table tasted the blueberry egg tarts. Su Man Ning sat in her seat and saw that everyone was eating happily. This is my first time making egg tarts. Give me some encouragement after eating!

As soon as he finished speaking, someone praised, This egg tart is much better than the ones sold in dessert shops outside!

[Task completion progress: 2/10]

It's really delicious!

[Task completion progress: 3/10]

You can make it so good for the first time, Man Ning, you might as well open a shop!

Man Ning, your cooking skills are really good!

[Task completion progress: 5/10]

[Task completion progress: 8/10]

[Task completion progress: 10/10]

[Ding! ]

[Task successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Cuiwei Lake villa, congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 upgrade point! ]

When Su Man Ning heard the prompt sound, her face turned red with excitement, and she couldn't hide her smile on her lips.

Qiao Yiyi saw her smile and laughed, and whispered, So many people praised you, you must be very happy.

Of course.

Why not be happy? From now on, she can also afford to live in a villa!

Su Manning was in a very good mood until the end of the dinner.

After returning to the hotel, she quickly opened the system panel with her mind and took a look.

In addition to the 4.5 million deposit, there was also a villa in the asset column.

Tongzi, help me add the improvement points to my height.

[OK host! ]

As soon as the prompt sound ended, the system panel refreshed.

[Host: Su Manning]

[Age: 23]

[Height: 164cm]

[Weight: 47KG]

[Appearance: 93/100]

[Body: 88/100]

[Charm: 88/100]

[Assets: 4.5 million yuan; a villa in Cuiwei Lake;]

If it wasn't late now, she really wanted to run over and see her new house right away.

......

At about eight o'clock in the morning, the sun shone in through the gap in the curtains.

Su Manning didn't stay in bed this time. She got up, packed her things and put them in the space, and went to the front desk to check out.

The environment around Cuiwei Lake is very good, as if a relatively quiet place is enclosed in the bustling city.

The villas are surrounded by green plants, and you can clearly feel that the air inside is different from the outside as soon as you enter the gate.

Su Manning found Villa 18 and stood in front of the door to look at it for a while.

What she dared not think of before is now really hers.

She raised her hand and pressed on the fingerprint lock, and the door opened with a click.

Tongzi is really powerful. He was able to record her fingerprints when she was not there.

The space inside the villa is very large, the soft and hard decorations have been completed, the water and electricity network are complete, and there is also a super large family starry sky theater, which is very atmospheric.

But if you want to live in it, you still have to buy some daily necessities, and you have to buy all kinds of food.

Su Manning lay down on the big sofa directly, holding her mobile phone and started shopping.

In the past, you had to compare prices when buying things. Now you have millions of savings and villas, so you don’t have to be as troublesome as before. Just buy it if you like it.

Su Manning first bought tableware such as bowls and chopsticks. The system will definitely assign her tasks in the future. She can do without anything, but she cannot do without tableware and kitchenware.

She picked stores that can deliver on the same day. Since she already has a big villa, she certainly doesn't want to stay in a hotel anymore.

After buying the things needed for cooking, Su Manning also bought some daily necessities, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, paper towels, etc.

There are also various foods, grains, oils, rice, noodles, vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk, etc., as long as you can think of it, buy it, anyway, the house can put it.

After placing the order, Su Manning took out all the things in the space and put them in the right place.

When she just hung the clothes in the cloakroom, Su Manning suddenly felt that her ordinary clothes didn't match the villa.

In the past, she only had more than 3,000 yuan a month, and she couldn't buy expensive clothes. It seems that she has to go out to buy some clothes and jewelry when she has time. Anyway, she is not short of money now.

The things bought on various shopping platforms have arrived one after another, and Su Manning is busy again facing the big bags.

She first put all kinds of tableware in
