I'm a cook in the wasteland

Chapter 22 System Purpose
"I feel a lot more comfortable."

"Su Mo, thank you!"

The small dish of cold salad has almost bottomed out, Wang Qing said gratefully, and then his eyelids were half drooped, looking a little sleepy.

"But I want to sleep for a while."

This sentence was very light, and Wang Qing fell into a deep sleep as he yawned.

Everyone around them consciously left the house with light steps.

The door was closed, and several people had different expressions.

Uncle Wolf couldn't stand it and rushed out.

"Let him go."

Shi Yan stopped Shi Qing from chasing after him.

"Wang Qing was brought out by him alone, he is similar to an apprentice, if Wang Qing is really..."

"Then it's good to let him vent."

Shi Yan's face was a little tired.

Facing the successive deaths in the camp, even the leader found it hard to accept.

"Su Mo, you have worked hard today, go and rest."

"Wang Qing's Doctor Zhang will take care of him, and he will call you if you have any questions."

"It's just... life and death are fate, if Wang Qing really can't make it through, don't be too sad."

"Su Mo, you've done a good job."

Facing Shi Yan's comfort, Su Mo's thoughts were a little confused.

After a hasty farewell, she quickly returned to her residence.

The sudden upgrade of the system today made her a little confused.

She urgently needs to figure out what healing food is.

Perhaps, this will become another guarantee to save Wang Qing, no, it may even become another guarantee for him to survive in the wasteland.

In the room, facing Su Mo's question, the system seemed very calm.

The gentle mechanical sound didn't change anything.

[Because you, the host, only wanted to return to Earth at that time, so the system only provided a way to return to Earth]

[As for the reason why the system brought you to the wasteland, I don't think the host needs to understand]

Facing this explanation, Su Mo remained silent.

She didn't think that this kind of system would lock herself inexplicably, and then bring herself into this kind of world.

It's just that she just wanted to go back at the beginning, and she didn't ask about the purpose of the system.

"If my goal of going back remains the same, can I continue to use this activated upgrade function?"

Su Mo asked this question tentatively.

The existence of the system is even more mysterious than she imagined.

Healing food.

The existence of this kind of thing is almost comparable to the healing ability of the wasteland.

As for the healing ability of the auxiliary system, she heard from Uncle Wolf that one might not be able to find one among all the ability users in a base.

There are only two known so far, both of which are in Base 1.

Of course, one of them died in the hands of a ferocious beast in a certain mission not long ago, and the remaining only seedling is now firmly guarded in Base No. 1.

If space ability is scarce, then healing ability is extremely rare.

Everyone suffers from old age and sickness, but the healing power can smooth these out and restore you to health.

In the wasteland, no one can break through the limit of birth, old age, sickness and death, and the emergence of healing ability seems to open a door of possibility for human beings.

People with this ability can be said to be treasures in this wasteland.

This unique ability, if the delicious food she cooks can achieve the effect, the meaning of it is not difficult for Su Mo to imagine.

Although it was dangerous, she had to admit that she was eager for this ability.

Today, the repair function of the system is still dull, as if a knife is hanging above the head at all times, warning himself of the cruelty of this wasteland.

If she can possess this ability, she can survive better in the wasteland.

[The function has been activated, and the host can use it normally]

[This function can only be explored by the host itself, and the system cannot provide help]

The unhurried voice gradually stabilized Su Mo's mood. She took a deep breath and took a big sip of water before opening her mouth.

"System, why did you bring me here in the first place?"

For the first time, she became curious about the purpose of the system.

Facing her inquiry, the system's answer was rarely dull for a moment.

[This system comes from the future of the wasteland, thirty years after today]

I don't know if it was Su Mo's illusion, but the system said this with a little sadness.

[However, at that time, the ferocious beasts on the wasteland fell into an unknown rage, and launched a destructive attack, driving human beings to a desperate situation and about to exterminate them. 】

[The remaining human forces have developed a system, hoping to create food that affects the spirit, awaken the spirits of fierce beasts, and improve the relationship with humans. 】

【My task is to find a suitable host, bring it here, and help her activate all the functions of the system, thereby saving the future of the wasteland】

from the future?

Ferocious beast rampage?

Save the wasteland?

A few words hit Su Mo's body, which made Su Mo a little speechless.

Should she be glad that she just chose to go back at that time instead of accepting the task of the system.

She is a cook and can cook, but Su Mo felt that she could not save the future of the entire wasteland.

After all, she is just an ordinary person on earth.

[The upgrade function is the most important part, because the host has no intention of cooperating, so I didn't take the initiative to inform you]

[This is in compliance with the regulations]

Facing the systematic explanation, Su Mo's expression turned serious.

"If I'm still in the wasteland after thirty years and haven't been able to go back, is it possible that I will also die at the hands of those violent beasts?"

It is still far away to raise the mental power to level 10, but at this meeting, I suddenly learned that the wasteland will face destruction in the future.

Then her current efforts could be aimed at destruction!

No, not right!

Su Mo suddenly remembered a point that he had neglected.

Today's cold ball dish was only eaten by Wang Qing, but he himself did not eat it.

But it still increased the energy value by one hundred points.

"System, this special delicacy, as long as it is eaten by people, can it provide me with energy value?"

【Yes】

The system's answer was very straightforward, but Su Mo leaned back on the chair.

She gritted her teeth, wanting to swear.

The system does not mention its mission at all, but every step of the way leads itself to the mission.

If Ordinary Cuisine wants to gain energy, she can only hunt fierce beasts herself, and then use the prey to make food.

This special delicacy does not limit the ingredients for making, but it needs to activate the hidden upgrade system.

If she hadn't subconsciously activated the power in her body because of anger and unwillingness when she was making food today, she would not have noticed the existence of this upgrade system at all.

But even if she can make special delicacies, it is impossible to advertise her abilities everywhere, and then find someone to eat and let them provide energy.

Exposing yourself wantonly on the wasteland is undoubtedly courting death.

What's more, she now exposed her spatial ability to Wang Qing and Uncle Wolf.

But as long as she still wanted to return to Earth, she couldn't refuse these.

It should be a good thing to have many abilities on his body, but Su Mo felt that his back was getting heavier.

The more secrets she has, the more inseparable she is from the system.

Can the system really be trusted?
