Winter Executor, starting with a system of wronged individuals.

He remained silent for only 0.001 seconds, then pulled out his salted fish sword and slammed it down on the man.

The man seemed to have anticipated Su Ming's reaction, and casually caught the salted fish with his right hand. "Nice to meet you, Hermit."

"You fucking——"

Su Ming was almost scared to death. None of his family members would understand. In the middle of the night, he turned around and suddenly saw a big man on the bed. Luckily, he didn't see him by lifting the covers.

"Shhh."

The man's lips curled into a very faint smile as he naturally introduced himself, "The Second Executive Officer of the Fools, Doctor."

"..."

Su Ming remained silent for a few seconds, thinking that this was not the time to introduce himself, but for the sake of being a colleague (he couldn't beat him), he decided to ask about the person's purpose for the time being.

"Hello, Mr. Bo, is there anything I can help you with?"

This time it was the Doctor's turn to fall silent. He began to seriously consider Su Ming's thought process, but in the end he chose to give up. "You can call me Dotore."

“Okay, Mr. Bo.”

Su Ming had an innocent-looking face. He was the twelfth seat, a full ten more than Dotore, so how could he dare to call him by his name?

Fortunately, Dotole wasn't exactly a normal person either, and he simply skipped the topic and continued, "Do you remember where you came from?"

“I don’t remember,” Su Ming shook his head. He couldn’t very well say it was a free gift that came with a sale at the Liyue Supermarket, but it might be related to the ice coffin he had heard about before.

A glint flashed in the pupils behind Dotole's mask as he scrutinized Su Ming, his gaze as if he were looking at a lab rat.

“You were discovered near the Ice Palace. At first, people thought it was just an ordinary underground tomb, but what was eventually discovered was an ice coffin, an ice coffin containing a person.”

Dotore looked at Su Ming with great interest:

"There was nothing in the ice coffin, only a sleeping person. How did you survive?"

Su Ming's lips twitched slightly. It would be a miracle if he knew. "You can tell at a glance that you've never cultivated immortality. Even the immortal masters of Liyue can abstain from grains."

"interesting."

Dotole didn't say anything more. He opened the window next to the bed and climbed out, as skillfully as a seasoned womanizer.

Su Ming was left alone in the cold wind, bewildered. He vowed to put a lock on the window tomorrow; there were just too many strange people in the executive office.

To repay Dotole for his night raid, Su Ming decided to send him a "heartfelt" lunch the next day.

However, Dotole also brought crucial information to Su Ming, indicating that he had directly traveled into the ice coffin, but the specific reason was unknown.

Su Ming lay on the bed with his legs crossed, thinking about what he needed to do tomorrow. First, he had to get up early to deliver breakfast to Sandone, and then he had to go to D'Artagnan to practice martial arts and improve his favorability... He drifted off to sleep as he thought about it.

As an outstanding college student in the 21st century, Su Ming has great faith in his biological clock.

He's a man who wakes up at 8 a.m., and his soul is a man who wakes up at 8 a.m. He's definitely going to wake up naturally before 8 a.m.!

"Dong dong dong."

"Boom!"

"Boom--!"

The fragile wooden door was pierced through by the steel arm and slammed against the opposite wall with a thud. Su Ming, who had just finished the third round of his battle with Columbia in his dream, almost jumped out of bed on the spot.

The first thing to step through the doorway was a small leg encased in white stockings, followed by a neatly trimmed brown skirt. Sandoni, carrying a small hammer, entered Su Ming's room, her clear blue eyes scanning the room before finally settling on Su Ming.

To be precise, it was Su Ming's lower body.

Su Ming: "..."

He followed Sandonne's gaze and looked down, seeing the glorious naked sleeping warrior.

Sandonne remained silent for a few seconds, then quietly turned and left.

Just as Su Ming had managed to ease his awkwardness, an even louder explosion rang in his ears. The robot he had seen in the workshop earlier burst through the door frame and forced its way in. It picked up the wooden door that had been slammed against the wall, retreated, and then forcefully shoved it back into the door frame.

"Hermit, I never expected you to be so monstrous."

Sandonne stood outside the door, a faint blush rising on her pretty face, her little leather shoes rubbing back and forth on the snow.

"No..." Su Ming silently wrapped himself in the blanket, feeling an urge to cry, "How can you break into a private residence like this!"

"Perverted!"

"So you're even using a robot to spy on your buddy, huh!"

Su Ming launched a fierce verbal attack, determined to seize the highest point of moral theory.

"Guess what time it is?" Sandone pointed to the clock expressionlessly, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes. None of her family understood; she had almost starved to death in the workshop.

"Uh..." Su Ming looked up at the clock. It wasn't very late, only three o'clock. No wonder the sun was so bright outside.

"The good news is that I made lunch that tasted better than my breakfast."

Su Ming chuckled dryly, quickly dressed, and pushed open the rickety wooden door. "Please, it's not too late to do it now."

"Hmm..." Sandone hesitated for a few seconds, beginning to wonder if she was stepping into the gates of hell. This morning, she had seen D'Artagnan, who usually passionately fought with wooden stakes, sitting on a haystack contemplating life, muttering things like, "I absolutely cannot eat it a second time," "I can't eat shit just to recover my body," and "As the eleventh seat of the Executor of the Fools, I will absolutely not eat another bite!"

But Su Ming's smile was very warm, and this was also the request she made yesterday. Besides, she was really hungry now, having not eaten anything for most of the day, and her empty stomach made her thinking sluggish.

After a brief internal struggle, Sandone entered Su Ming's house. She remembered that it was an abandoned empty house before Su Ming came, but now it had become exceptionally cozy.

Sandone untied her scarf and sat on the sofa, asking curiously, "What are you planning to do?" She had heard that Su Ming was from Liyue, and she had never eaten Liyue cuisine before, so she was particularly looking forward to it.

"Don't worry at all. With Chef Su here, how could you possibly go hungry?"

Su Ming chuckled as he opened the cabinet where the food was stored, and then cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Why!

There's only one regular treasure chest inside, seriously?!

Where are the ingredients?

Do you people usually stew food from your chests during the winter solstice?

Chapter 018 Opening Prayer

"what happened?"

Sandoni tilted her head in confusion and looked at Su Ming. She was so hungry that she was almost blind. She hadn't eaten much last night and was thinking of just waiting for Su Ming's breakfast.

I almost died before breakfast arrived, but luckily the workshop usually keeps high-calorie snacks on hand, which helped me get through it as an emergency measure.

"No, it's nothing!"

Su Ming hurriedly stopped Sandonne from exploring further, but there was no need to worry about the ingredients now, because a system interface suddenly appeared in front of them.

Congratulations on opening your ingredient warehouse! Different ingredients will be randomly refreshed every 24 hours.

[Note: You can consume Primogems to improve the quality of ingredients in a single batch.]

Su Ming took a deep breath. This time, he was determined to get some amazing ingredients. With a flash of white light, two familiar-looking buckets appeared in front of him.

Congratulations! You have won 2 packs of Kangshifu Braised Beef Noodles (White)

Su Ming was silent for a few seconds. Although this thing was definitely not as good as the food he made himself, even a skilled cook can't make a meal without ingredients, so he could only make do with what he had to make for now.

He felt the warmth of his fellow villagers' food after a long time. Instant noodles are incredibly fast, and in less than ten minutes, the room was filled with the aroma of beef (seasoning packet).

Sandonne's pupils, which had been dilated due to hunger, gradually focused. She sniffed slightly and realized that this was not a hallucination.

Does it really smell like meat?

She unconsciously swallowed, her gaze curiously fixed on Su Ming, who stood calmly in front of the stove. Could the hermit really be a hidden culinary genius?

Wouldn't that be a huge profit!

Win, win, win!

Sandone was genuinely satisfied with yesterday's agreement; her judgment of people was always accurate, and Su Ming had not disappointed her.

Su Ming stared at the instant noodles in the pot, still feeling a little guilty. Was it too perfunctory to entertain Sandone like this? He decided to buy the ingredients tomorrow and cook for her himself to show off his skills.

"It's ready, hmm... Liyue beef noodles."

Su Ming placed the steaming bowl of noodles on the table. The aroma of the seasoning packet was very strong, but Sandone didn't care at all. Her little face was full of anticipation.

Sandonne rarely eats noodles during the winter months, but it's said to be a classic staple food in Liyue, with hundreds of varieties.

only......

"Why does it smell like beef even though there's no beef?" Sandonne blinked, searching carefully several times but still couldn't find any trace of beef, only a few suspicious brown particles that resembled beef.

"Uh..." Su Ming was silent for a few seconds. After all, it was common knowledge that there was no beef in braised beef noodles. "This time the preparation was a bit rushed. Next time, I will definitely do it."

"Oh."

Sandoni nodded without suspicion, picked up his fork, and began slurping down his instant noodles. He showed a satisfied expression after just the first bite.

It's really delicious! The chewy noodles are soaked in the flavorful broth. Dadalia must be lying to her. Su Ming is really good at cooking.

"Su Ming, you are a true genius."

Sandoni praised the noodles indistinctly, and soon finished the instant noodles, drinking the soup in one gulp before collapsing into a recliner with satisfaction.

She clutched her slightly swollen belly, feeling as if she had finally come back to life. Who could resist a steaming bowl of Liyue beef noodles on a warm winter day?

Although Su Ming felt a little guilty, he was relieved to see Sandone eating so contentedly. However, this girl was really too familiar with everyone, acting as if she were the owner of the house.

[Sandonie's favorability has been unlocked to level 2]

[Obtain Level 2 Affection Chest]

Su Ming then remembered that he hadn't opened the previous Sandone's favorability chest, so now there were two chests, but they would most likely contain blue artifacts again.

"Don't you have anything else to do?"

Looking at Sandonne, who was sprawled in the recliner like a social outcast, Su Ming asked a soul-searching question: Is the position of executive officer really that leisurely?

Sandonne rolled his eyes and muttered, "The front lines don't need me for the time being, so I guess I'll just have to spend all my time in the workshop."

She would never be the first to fight, and training the Fools was completely unrelated to her job; all she needed to do was study machinery in the workshop.

“Columbia didn’t come looking for you,” Sandonne said, swinging her white-stockinged legs. “You must have scared her away because you’re too perverted.”

"You are slandering my character."

Su Ming's lips twitched slightly. Could he be that kind of person?
