Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Chance Encounter in the Cafeteria, Startled the System Out?

「It was almost noon.」

Yang Qiniang and the others had originally planned to go off-campus and make Lin Feng treat them to a lavish meal.

But then they remembered they had class in the afternoon.

They had to scrap the idea and settled for the school cafeteria instead.

Besides the standard mess hall fare, the school cafeteria also had a separate stir-fry restaurant to cater to the wealthy students.

Lin Feng’s group of four went up to the second floor.

They found a table near a window and sat down.

Soon, a tall girl wearing an apron walked over.

She was holding a menu, looking like a waitress.

”Song Yaqi, what are you doing here?”

”And... dressed like that?”

Seeing the girl, Yang Qiniang couldn’t help but ask.

She was none other than Song Yaqi, the one who had previously handed out their textbooks and been elected to the student committee.

”Classmate Yang, Classmate Lin!”

Song Yaqi clearly recognized Lin Feng and Yang Qiniang as well.

However, she didn’t quite remember Cao Ming and Jiang Chao’s names.

The two of them were too low-profile, unlike Yang Qiniang and Lin Feng, who were now class officers of a sort.

”Hello, Classmate Song!”

Lin Feng also greeted her with a smile.

Then he looked at Jiang Chao beside him, who had his head down, not daring to look directly at Song Yaqi, and said to her, ”Classmate Song, let me introduce you. This is my roommate, Jiang Chao.”

”Actually, he went to the same high school as you!”

Seeing Jiang Chao’s shy and downcast appearance, Lin Feng took the initiative to be his wingman.

”Oh, really?”

Hearing this, Song Yaqi shot Jiang Chao a look of interest.

Unfortunately, that guy Jiang Chao was just too shy!

He didn’t dare lift his head to meet Song Yaqi’s eyes.

Seeing him act like this,

Lin Feng knew it was probably impossible for him to win over Song Yaqi anytime soon.

However, he didn’t press the issue.

”By the way, Classmate Song.”

”You still haven’t told me why you’re here. And dressed like this?”

Just then, Yang Qiniang picked up the conversation and asked again.

”I’m on a work-study program here!”

”I have a roommate who works here, so I came along with her.”

’A work-study program?’

Hearing her say that,

the first thought that popped into the minds of Lin Feng and his friends was that she must have a poor family background.

After all, in college, everyone cared a lot about face.

Unless your family was truly poor, who would possibly come to the cafeteria for a work-study job?

This was the place where you were most likely to run into people you knew.

However, Lin Feng and the others had a tacit understanding and didn’t pry further into the matter.

Instead, they took the menu.

Lin Feng let Yang Qiniang and the others order, as he had promised to treat them.

They each ordered a dish, all of them strongly flavored.

Finally, Lin Feng added a soup and a side dish, then handed the menu back to Song Yaqi.

Song Yaqi glanced at what the four of them had ordered and said with a smile, ”You ordered all Sichuan dishes, huh?”

”Then you’re in for a treat. The chef on duty in the kitchen today happens to be from Sichuan and Chongqing!”

”Really?”

”Then I’ll have to really savor it.”

Lin Feng said with a smile.

”Alright!”

”I’ll bring your food out in a bit.”

Song Yaqi picked up the menu and, with a sway of her hips, returned to the restaurant’s kitchen.

After Song Yaqi left,

both Lin Feng and Yang Qiniang looked at Jiang Chao with exasperation. ”Old Jiang, what’s with you?”

”Old Lin was being your wingman, and you didn’t even react.”

Yang Qiniang couldn’t help but be the first to speak.

And while Lin Feng and Cao Ming said nothing, their expressions were equally exasperated.

”Brother Nian, Brother Feng, Old Cao.”

”Don’t push me, guys. I don’t want to be in a relationship.”

”Besides, with her personality, she’d never be interested in me.”

He hadn’t even tried, yet Jiang Chao had already given up. This cowardly display left Lin Feng and the others speechless.

Yang Qiniang wanted to say something more,

but he was stopped by Lin Feng.

”Forget it. Old Jiang has his own thoughts, so let’s just let things take their course.”

Yang Qiniang sighed and said no more.

Next, at Lin Feng’s prompting, the four of them shifted the topic to the freshman welcome party next week.

The university’s welcome party was a great opportunity to check out the girls.

On that topic, everyone suddenly had endless things to say.

”What are you guys talking about?”

”You all look so excited.”

Just then, Song Yaqi walked over from the kitchen, carrying a plate of spicy chicken.

Behind her was another girl.

Her looks were plain and her figure was average; she was probably the roommate Song Yaqi had mentioned earlier.

”Nothing, we were just talking about our studies!”

Yang Qiniang said with a cheeky grin, his gaze immediately shifting to the plate of spicy chicken.

”Here, hurry up and try it. How does it taste?”

Song Yaqi put down the spicy chicken she was holding, then turned to take the dish from her roommate’s hands and placed it on the table too.

The girl tugged on the corner of Song Yaqi’s shirt, said, ”I’m heading back,” and then left.

She didn’t even say hello to Lin Feng and the others.

But Lin Feng and his friends didn’t mind. They picked up their chopsticks and began to sample the cafeteria chef’s handiwork.

”Mmm, this is really good!”

Lin Feng picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of the spicy chicken, and chewed it a few times.

Numbing, spicy, fresh, and fragrant!

For a school cafeteria to be able to produce a dish with this kind of flavor was already quite impressive.

It seemed this truly was a restaurant exclusive to the wealthy students.

[DING!]

[Congratulations, Host. For tasting authentic Sichuan cuisine, your Perfect Life Experience has increased by 1!]

[Reward: Cashback Card!]

[This card can only be used for food-related expenses, with a maximum spending limit of 50,000. The system will issue a random cashback of 1 to 4 times the amount, based on the diner’s satisfaction!]

The system’s notification suddenly rang in his mind.

A wave of ecstasy instantly washed over Lin Feng.

’To think that I could get a system reward just by eating a satisfying Sichuan dish.’

’It seems my previous guess was correct.’

’With this Perfect Life System, as long as I have a new life experience, I can trigger a system reward.’

’Looks like I’ll have to go and experience more new things from now on.’

Just as Lin Feng was thinking this, the system’s voice sounded again.

[DING!]

[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the title: Gourmet Master!]

[With this title, the Host will receive a Cashback Card every time they taste a new and delicious food!]

[DING!]

[Congratulations, Host, you have successfully unlocked a side quest.]

[Quest Details: Taste a one-of-a-kind Sichuan flavor in this world. This quest requires the Host to discover it on their own. Quest reward: TBD!]

A series of notifications rang out in Lin Feng’s mind.

The piece of spicy diced chicken he had been carefully savoring was instantly swallowed.

’I just ate one dish and got so much stuff.’

’System, are you kidding me?’

”How is it?”

”Is it too spicy?”

Seeing the strange expression on Lin Feng’s face,

Song Yaqi thought the spicy chicken was too hot for him to handle.

Even Yang Qiniang chimed in, ”Old Lin, if you can’t handle the spice, don’t eat it. Be careful or your asshole will pay for it tomorrow!”

”Hahaha, that’s right!”

Even Cao Ming joined in on the teasing.

Lin Feng put down his chopsticks and shook his head disdainfully. ”Have you all forgotten? I’m from Xiang City!”

”This little bit of spice is nothing to me!”

”But, the flavor of this spicy chicken is truly exceptional. I’ve never tasted anything like it!”

’After all, it was a dish that managed to trigger the system.’

’How could it possibly taste bad?’

”That’s true.”

When Lin Feng revealed where he was from, Yang Qiniang and Cao Ming stopped teasing him.

After all, everyone knows Xiang Province is the king of spicy food in the country, and within Xiang Province, Xiang City is the spiciest of all...

In front of Lin Feng, a native of Xiang City, the two of them wouldn’t dare challenge his spice tolerance.
