Fang Ning thought about it for a while and asked for his body back under Sir System's nagging. Then, he went to the top floor of the villa.
He took out the incense table from the System Space, placed the incense altar on it, lit up three joss sticks, and placed the offerings.
After the broadcast, there was still the process of offering.
The offering was naturally the plate of food that was emitting colorful light …
After he placed it on the table, the food disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Eh, it really worked!" Fang Ning exclaimed.
"Worked my ass, can't you see who ate it?" Sir System said angrily.
Fang Ning looked down and saw the great green insect lying on the plate, smacking its lips as if it had not eaten enough.
"You, you, how could you eat my offering to the Culinary God?" Fang Ning was helpless and pointed at Chong Daqing's head. "I still need it to obtain the method to enter the Culinary God's Grotto-Heaven. What should I do?"
"Let me make this clear, there's no free second plate. You can either make it yourself or pay for it." Sir System quickly closed the loophole.
Fang Ning was speechless. Sir System really knew how to add insult to injury.
Chong Daqing put its forelimbs on its waist and said righteously, "Do you think I'm the kind of insect that eats other people's food for free? I'm self-reliant now, okay? I know the method to enter the Culinary God's Grotto-Heaven, I'll tell you now. Among all the gods in the Upper Realm, I'm the closest to that old man. He often invited me into his grotto-heaven to taste the offerings from the mortals. It's a pity that good gods die young. His mind is always on eating, and he's not strong enough, so he died early … "
Fang Ning heard this and suddenly understood.
"I understand now. So this is what the Heavenly Axiom really meant."
"I don't understand. What kind of godly operation is this? That idiot Heavenly Axiom is only doing the work of an intermediary. He doesn't need to put in any effort, yet he's receiving so many benefits for free? "Sir System said enviously.
"What do you know? This is the advantage of a platform. The Heavenly Axiom is backed by a big platform like the universe, so naturally, it can easily collect fees from the Upper Realm to join." Fang Ning understood.
"Oh, so that's how it is?" Sir System said thoughtfully.
At this moment, Chong Daqing's eyes lit up and hurriedly said, "I'll tell you when I get back. It seems like someone is worshiping that old man again."
Then the bug disappeared from the plate.
"It won't forget about you while it's eating, will it?" Sir System gloated.
Fang Ning said in disdain, "How is that possible? It's not like it's only going to eat us this time. "
Sure enough, early the next morning, Chong Daqing sent Vigilante A an illustrated message on WeChat, it was the way to enter the Culinary God's Grotto.
With this method, Fang Ning seriously suspected that Daqing was using its position for personal gain.
The drawing was of a great green insect eating a bowl of rice and then opening a door … The words on the back had a special note: If it's not tasty, don't open the door.
"Oh my God, it's only been a few years and even the simple Daqing has been corrupted by the evil commercial society of Earth. It's learned to sell the same thing twice!" Fang Ning sighed painfully.
Sir System said with lingering fear, "Yeah, looks like we really can't underestimate it in the future. Sure enough, after being a boss for a few years, one's heart will turn black."
"Sigh, what should we do? I didn't expect that my prediction would come true. It really wanted to eat our meals twice. Sir System, you have to help. "Fang Ning pleaded.
Sir System immediately refused, "You can only have enough food and clothing if you're self-reliant. I can't satisfy you endlessly. If I do that, I won't be helping you, but harming you. It's just like how those naughty children have parents who can satisfy them endlessly. "
"…" Fang Ning was speechless. He could not be bothered to argue with Sir System anymore. He entered the alchemy room and started cooking with his entry-level cooking skills.
Half an hour later, a pot full of sweet potato corn rice came out of the oven …
After bringing the rice up to the rooftop, Fang Ning sent a text to Chong Daqing.
The other party replied in seconds and swallowed it in one gulp.
"That's not right, Dalong, why did your cooking suddenly drop so much?" Chong Daqing was very depressed, "Did you think that I was cheating you before, so you're deliberately cheating me now?"
Fang Ning said impatiently, "You know that you were cheating me before, so you should have done it in one go. You shouldn't have sold the same thing twice."
"Uh, actually this wasn't my idea, it was their idea." Chong Daqing said embarrassedly, "Besides, didn't I learn this from you humans?"
"Forget it, hurry up and open the door for me. I really can't say anything about you this time. Those who are willing to take the bait." Fang Ning urged.
"Alright, although your cooking this time isn't up to standard, it's still better than the others." Chong Daqing was still obedient. With a swipe of its claws, a door of light appeared.
Fang Ning looked at it and walked in.
"Mr. Rich Boss, you're pretty good. Just a few words and you made Chong Daqing forget about it." Sir System was quite satisfied.
"That wasn't a lie, it was all the truth, okay? Who were the people who gave Chong Daqing such bad ideas? Could it be those fellows from the Association of Spirit Kings? "Fang Ning asked curiously.
Sir System said indifferently, "Who cares, you should get this inheritance first."
As the man and the System conversed, the scenery changed.
The rooftop of the villa had turned into a green grassland.
On the grassland, a herd of wild boars of various sizes was running. There were about a dozen of them, dragging their families.
The adult wild boars were all plump and strong, the quality of their meat was obvious.
This must be one of the top-grade ingredients provided by the grotto-heaven.
However, Fang Ning subconsciously chose to let them go. After all, they were living a good life, and he could not bear to kill them and eat them.
"When you're eating, you never have the heart to do it." Sir System despised Fang Ning's hypocrisy.
"Cut the crap, I like it this way, what can you do about it?"
Fang Ning continued to look around and saw that there were other ingredients on the grassland. There were mushrooms and wild vegetables of various types, and some rare plants that could be used as seasonings. They were all top-grade ingredients.
"This is a little troublesome, Sir System, you should personally make a vegetarian feast. You're a hero after all, don't make it too bloody and affect our identities. "Fang Ning ordered.
"So troublesome, what use do I have for you?" Sir System muttered, then seized Fang Ning's body.
As he walked, Vigilante A scraped three feet of the ingredients along the way, not even sparing the seedlings.
"Hiss … You're a little too much, don't you think about the growth next year? This goes against the bottom line of recycling. "Fang Ning reminded.
"What do you know, ever since this arcane realm opened and people entered, it's been declining non-stop. If we don't harvest these plants now, we won't be able to see them next month, let alone next year. "Sir System said righteously.
"Uh, I can't even feel this, is the gap between me and you really that big? Will I never be able to smooth it out in the future? "Fang Ning was very depressed.
"At least you have some self-awareness." Sir System said proudly.
Vigilante A walked past the herd of lively wild boars, waved his hand, and all the wild boars disappeared …
Since Fang Ning knew that this arcane realm would disappear soon, naturally, he would not stop Sir System's actions, after all, it was equivalent to saving the lives of the boars.
