Until he sat back on the sofa at home, Shi Ning was still staring blankly at Zhongli making tea with tea leaves that he had bought at some unknown time. His movements were smooth and flowing, and it was very pleasing to the eye.

"You just... spent six million?" Shi Ning finally came back to his senses and realized that they had just spent a huge sum of money. His voice trembled a little.

"Don't worry, what I spent is the expenses of the Wangsheng Hall. And this thing is worth it." As the main owner, Zhongli placed the exquisitely shaped teapot in front of Shi Ning without changing his expression. The Jian kiln rabbit-hair tea cup was even more crystal clear under the water mist, and it was so beautiful that it didn't seem like something from this world.

Shi Ning tried hard to steady his shaking hands and picked up the teacup with a little trembling.

As an ordinary person, Shi Ning had never spent so much money. When holding this set of tea set, Shi Ning felt like he was holding gold, which was extremely heavy.

【Private chat】

[Seven-day Statue: Zhongli, tell me, how can you be such a spendthrift... Or you can go with Hu Tao, I really can't afford to support you. ]

[Zhongli: Don't worry. If I want to buy something, the Northland Bank will pay for it.]

[Seven-day God Statue: That's good, that's good... That's not right, why are you all richer than each other now? And you spend money without mercy? ]

[Zhongli: Maybe because I can't OOC? Anyway, it's just buying things. I have a spending quota every month now. Only when I reach the specified amount can I not OOC. ]

[Seven-day Statue: ??? Isn't this the equivalent of spending money recklessly? But you all have OOC indicators? Why don't I have one? ]

【Zhongli:......】

[Seven-day statue:? ]

[Zhongli: Ningning, from the system's perspective, you are now just a lifeless stone. Don't be so demanding of a stone, okay?]

[Seven-day God Statue: I made a mistake. What do you usually have to buy to meet this spending condition? ]

[Zhongli: I can basically meet my goal by buying a dozen genuine antiques. But when buying antiques, I still have to pay attention to the quality. If it’s a little worse, the money won’t be counted towards my goal.]

[Seven-day Statue: Wow... I envy you so much...]

"Ms. Shi Ning, you still have two days to leave for the hot spring hotel, so let's go and clean up the venue tomorrow. The rest of the people will probably arrive tomorrow." Zhongli suggested.

Shi Ning nodded with satisfaction. She didn't want to move at all. It would be best if she could stay at home for a day.

"By the way, there should be a staff dormitory over there. Once it's cleaned up, you can move in there, Zhongli." Zhongli nodded. It was never good for a man to always live in a young girl's house.

"Then what shall we do now..." Shi Ning looked at Zhongli expectantly.

"...Don't worry about me. The rest of the day is at your disposal."

"Great! Walnut? Walnut! Want to watch a movie?"

Although he didn't know why his former classmate became so oppressive after putting on a strange skin, and also had a feeling of an old father, that is, the parent who had to report everything Zhong did, but after getting permission, Shi Ning immediately ran around the room like a victorious rooster, wanting to call Hu Tao to participate in the film festival.

Although there is no such festival in their original world, this is a different world, and if they want, every day can be a film festival!

Unfortunately, after searching all the rooms, Hu Tao was not found. Shi Ning stood beside the open window, looking at the clouds in the distance and sighed softly.

Although I knew that Hu Tao left because of the ID card issue, I was still a little disappointed that she left without even saying goodbye.

"If you're willing, I can accompany you." Zhongli walked slowly and came behind Shi Ning.

Shi Ning looked carefully at Zhongli's now neatly dressed appearance. As if he had obsessive-compulsive disorder, he even smoothed out the area on his sleeve that Shi Ning had just pulled.

Shi Ning didn't know that the body of this 1.8-meter-tall man was actually a schoolboy, but...it made him feel uncomfortable watching a movie with someone who looked like an old scholar.

"Forget it...what do you want to eat for lunch?" Shi Ning opened the refrigerator, which was empty except for a few boxes of milk frozen inside.

"I'm not picky." Zhongli glanced calmly into the refrigerator, "You don't cook?"

Shi Ning gave Zhong Li a meaningful smile: "I can't."

It's so funny. With food delivery so popular, why do we need to know how to cook? You can solve most of the food problems by just using your phone.

"But there is no takeout here." After a moment of silence, Zhongli interrupted Shi Ning's fantasy about what to eat.

Living in an era of rapid technological development, Shi Ning had made assumptions about possible problems, but he had never expected this.

That is, they might starve to death because they don’t know how to cook and don’t have takeout.

Well, it won’t be Zhongli who died. His ID card is a god, and you have your own mobile version of the "Seven Days Statue" next to him. It would be strange if he died.

Therefore, the only loser in this fight against hunger will be Shi Ning.

This is such sad news.

Shi Ning perked up, started changing his shoes, then opened his phone to export a map: "Should we buy some and try to cook ourselves or... go out to eat?"

Zhongli pondered for a moment: "Cook at home. Learning this skill will make you healthier."

Shi Ning also nodded pretentiously and agreed, "That's right, it makes sense."

The navigation showed that the vegetable market was quite close to the community. Shi Ning thought about it and decided to walk there.

The vegetable market was bustling with noise, filled with vendors, and full of people and the smell of fish.

"Zhongli" himself still likes to eat seafood, especially crabs and lobsters, but the taboo foods written on this identity card, the bold and large line of words means that he hates seafood. As long as it is something from the sea, he can only eat one or two bites, even if it is broken into pieces and he can't remember what it looked like.

To be honest, it’s better not to eat these one or two bites.

"Why don't you leave?" Shi Ning turned to look at him curiously and tugged at Zhongli's sleeve again, but it was as if Zhongli's feet had grown roots and he couldn't be moved.

"Ms. Shi Ning, I'll just wait for you here. Inside..." Zhongli frowned and said reluctantly, "There are things in there that I don't like."

Shi Ning suddenly realized what was going on, and then looked at the entrance of the vegetable market as if he were looking at a bomb. How difficult would it be to deal with something that could make even a god retreat?

As soon as he saw Shi Ning's expression, Zhongli knew that she had misunderstood. He suppressed his discomfort and continued, "No...it's just that I...I can't accept seafood."

The vigilant action paused, Shi Ning nodded in understanding, retracted his previous gaze, and patted Zhongli's arm in a friendly manner.

"I understand. You're not picky about food."

Zhongli: ...
