"Oh, yeah, I totally forgot about that. Not only do I have to wait a while to find the ingredients, but my kitchen hasn't even arrived yet. I won't be able to get them even if I leave tomorrow." An Keke was startled awake by this, having completely forgotten about military training. For the previous month, she'd been terrified and afraid to do anything. Finally, after finally making it through the month and arriving at school, she finally relaxed a bit and started thinking about improving her meals.

"I can jump on the spaceship tomorrow. Ten people should not be difficult. Let me help you with the task first. I have tried some food on the Star Network before. Can I use milk to make desserts? However, interstellar milk is green and grows in walnut-like fruits. It has no fishy smell and tastes better. I also bought a few to see if they can be used." Gu Can loved drinking milk. After tasting the milk tea nutrient solution, he went to check the information of milk fruit.

"I know that. It's very nutritious and almost like milk, but without any fishy smell. You can make pudding or fried milk or something." An Keke immediately had an idea.

"Well, it won't be that soon to get that portable kitchen. I guess I won't be able to get it until the end of military training. I can only go to those retro stores to see if I can buy some kitchen utensils. I have to buy as many ingredients as possible, but I probably can't bring them to military training. I may have to use local materials at that time, so you have to be mentally prepared." Gu Can thought it was too late.

"And I've looked carefully. There's no penalty for failing to complete the task. It's just that our two tasks are bound together. If one is not completed, both tasks will be considered a failure, and there will be no reward. Even without the system, we have to live a good life, so don't worry." Gu Can said.

"You're right, cooking is a happy thing. If the chef is anxious, the food will definitely not taste good. I know, I will try my best, the result is not important." An Keke said.

"Well! Let's go choose the ingredients first." Gu Can said.

The next morning, they set out to gather for Mulan Star. As expected, even the space button had to be handed in. Besides the military training uniforms and the supply communicator issued by the school, everything had to be handed in. Fortunately, they had to hand it in when they were about to disembark, not immediately upon boarding. Gu Can hurried to complete her mission, as it required tools, which couldn't be conjured out of thin air.

"What are you going to play?" An Keke asked.

"Let's play 'Crouching Dragon's Song,'" Gu Can thought for a moment and set up his stance. Soon, someone responded. Gu Can played intently, and even An Ke, who didn't know how to play the guqin, was mesmerized. She thought to herself, no wonder the system had given Gu Can the guqin. His skill was truly remarkable, and even she, an amateur, was mesmerized by it. More and more people filled the room, from teachers to students. One song, the task far exceeded expectations.

"Student Gu Can, can you play it again?" Gu Can looked up and saw An Yi speaking.

"Okay." Gu Can agreed readily. An Yi listened to it again, confirming that the sound of the piano had alleviated her headache caused by the genetic defect.

Afterwards, An Yi asked Gu Can to go to her room and carefully learned about the guqin. She had no idea how Gu Can knew about it or where it came from. She just recorded two more pieces of music and told Gu Can about her discovery. She also asked if Gu Can could inform the research institute, as they might need her cooperation in future research. Gu Can agreed immediately.

This isn't mentioned in the plot, and the healing properties of the food haven't even been explained yet, let alone anything else. It seems Chinese culture is incredibly important to the world. Chinese culture is truly profound, and it seems the guqin was originally developed for healing.

"You are so awesome." An Keke waited for Gu Can to come back and couldn't wait to give him a thumbs up.

"It's not so bad, hahaha." Gu Can was still a little proud. After all, he had been practicing for decades, and with the help of his wood-type ability, the effect was definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

"I feel much more relaxed after listening to it. Your piano music has therapeutic effects." An Keke also noticed it.

"Well, I only found out about this from Teacher An Yi. However, the guqin was first used to treat illnesses. China also has music therapy. When I was playing, I accidentally used the wood-type ability. The wood-type is responsible for vitality, so it's not surprising that such an effect occurred." Gu Can said.

"That's great, with you here, I can just relax and hug my thighs!" An Keke was very happy that Gu Can was smart and capable. Why should she curl up when she could just lie down? She would just focus on food in the future. Judging from Gu Can's temperament, his family might not run an ordinary small supermarket but a large chain supermarket or something like that. Anyway, his family must be well-off. He has attended many interest classes since he was a child. He is smart, hardworking and talented. Isn't he a perfect thigh?

"It depends on your performance. I won't hug anyone." Gu Can raised his chin slightly, looking proud.

"Of course, just wait and see," An Keke said confidently. Mulan Star's galaxy was quite remote, and even after three jumps, it took a full day and night on the spaceship. Mulan Star used to be a beautiful planet with abundant vegetation and water resources, and it looked quite stunning from afar.

Even after a thousand years of recovery, Mulan Star still looks desolate, with large areas of desert. It seems that An Keke’s novice mission may not be completed. The mission and the plot are different, and it is not known whether the mission rewards are the same. She still wants that time ability very much.

Once low-level Zerg are discovered, it is really difficult to clean them up. The only advantage of low-level Zerg among Zerg is that they reproduce quickly, in large numbers in a short time, and are difficult to be discovered before they grow into adults.

All Zerg eat everything, so if a large-scale Zerg war breaks out on a planet, that planet is essentially destroyed. After disembarking from the spacecraft, all personal belongings were confiscated. Military training was completely different from Earth. They were given basic combat supplies, three months' worth of nutrient solution, and a communicator for calling for help. Then, they were allowed to form teams and survive on Mulan Planet for three months.

"Hello, can you join my team?" Gu Can and An Keke originally only wanted to do things for the two of them, but they didn't expect a beautiful young lady to come over.

"Hello, is this your team?" Gu Can and An Keke were a little surprised. They were both lone wolves at the moment and had no familiar classmates at school.

"Well, my name is Tang He, and these are my sisters Tang Miao, Lu Qing, Lu Yue, Lu Mi, Lu Cheng, Lu Hong, Bai Yi, and Bai Shan." All those following Tang He were girls.

"You already have so many people, and you still want to form a team with us?" This is even more confusing.

"I'm from the command department. If freshmen can command a team of more than ten people and complete the tasks during the military training, they can get extra credits. You two are the only girls who haven't joined other teams yet, so could you please join my team?" Tang He was quite sincere.

She was not so casual. She had gotten to know most of the people in the team. They were all hardworking academic masters with no family background. Tang Miao was from the Mecha Warrior Department. Lu Qing, Lu Yue, Bai Yi and Bai Shan were her classmates. Lu Mi and Lu Cheng were from the Logistics Department. Lu Hong was a classmate of Gu Can and An Keke. Lu Qing and the other four grew up in the same orphanage.

"Let's discuss it." Gu Can and An Keke did not agree immediately.

"Okay." Tang He tactfully took his teammates away.

"How about it? Do you want to join?" An Keke asked.

"I'm fine with either, but if I join them and can find the ingredients, there's still hope for the mission. I don't feel any ill intentions from them." Gu Can thought he could consider joining.

"Well, okay, then we'll join." An Keke said. They both lacked common sense about interstellar technology, so it would be nice to have someone to form a team.

Gu Can and An Keke agreed to join, and Tang He reported to the instructor. After a brief self-introduction, everyone set off. The first thing they had to do was find a place to set up camp. On the first day, they didn't encounter any Zerg or other students. However, Gu Can and An Keke did find a lot of edible ingredients.

"There are exploding fruits ahead, be careful." Tang Miao said after coming back from exploring the way.

"Exploding fruit?" Gu Can and An Keke had never seen one before, so they were curious! They didn't want to leave the group to find out what it was. As they passed by, they were covered in white powder. Gu Can and An Keke subconsciously licked it. It was flour! When these fruits explode, flour floats out. So, they had their staple food.

The two of them memorized the route. They actually found quite a bit of food along the way. After finding a place to camp, Tang He assigned the night watch groups and times. Since everyone was on nutrient solution, there wasn't much need for fires or cooking. Gu Can and the others requested some free time to collect the food they found along the way.

After setting up a simple stone pot and stove and having Tang Miao help light the fire, the two began preparing their first proper meal since arriving in Interstellar. They had stir-fried lettuce. Interstellar lettuce is called a leaf tree, each at least two meters tall and covered in lettuce leaves. The smell would cause anyone within one meter to faint.

Gu Can used his supernatural powers to pick a lot of leaves. He confirmed they were non-toxic and edible, and they were delicious! He also found a few giant bird and beast eggs, caught a fish, and a plant that looked like aloe vera. When you cut it open, the liquid that oozes out is rapeseed oil. He also found a milk fruit tree. Due to limited resources, he made steamed fish, fried omelets, and a milk pudding.

In short, the mission was successfully completed, and the relationship between the team members was not as unfamiliar as it was at the beginning. Food diplomacy is not just talk.

Gu Can and An Keke completed their military training while also completing their system tasks. Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju were also busy. They had already begun investigating Gu Hui's background upon returning. Their discovery of two ancient plants led to the broadcast of this military training across the federation, without the students' knowledge.

Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju didn't even tell Gu Can. They believed Gu Can. However, Gu Hui would definitely cause trouble for Gu Can during the military training, so it would be better to broadcast it live to avoid Gu Can being wrongly accused.

After Gu Can and An Keke completed their mission, their rewards were distributed. They both received the same reward: 1000 points for their time ability and a classroom. In this classroom, points could be spent to learn ancient Chinese lessons, and the speed of time could be adjusted by points, up to a maximum of 1:1000. This meant that for every day in the real world, a thousand days passed in the classroom.
