Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

The first reward is called the "All-Purpose Food Maker".

Xiao Yun casually found a place to put it down, intending to take a look at how to use it first.

With a flash of white light, a machine resembling a vending machine appeared before us.

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge screen.

The screen was covered with a dense array of flashing icons, many of which were very familiar to Xiao Yun.

For example, there's the classic braised beef noodles, as well as canned beef, compressed biscuits, and other fast food products.

Then there's all sorts of food, from cold dishes to stir-fries, from staple foods to desserts, from Western food to Chinese food; most classic dishes can be found on it.

There are even various seasonings such as salt, sugar, and soy sauce.

The method for making these things is also very simple.

"Various organic substances can be transformed into food, but the taste and effects will be slightly different."

"Even inorganic matter can be transformed, but only into things like salt."

"It's like bringing over the rules of the Eternal Feast Court."

Xiao Yun nodded after reading the rules, but he wasn't very interested.

After all, I had just come out of the Eternal Feast Court, where I was almost sick of eating.

However, Xiao Yun still gave it a try in order to verify the function.

He casually picked up a few pieces of wood, then asked the Crow King to go downstairs and gather two handfuls of grass and a pot of soil. He then stuffed all of these things into the feeding port of the "All-Purpose Food Maker".

After a few roars, the icons on the screen slowly disappeared, leaving only a few options such as vegetable salad, compressed biscuits, braised beef noodles, and coarse salt.

Even so, Xiao Yun was already quite satisfied.

"This machine can turn anything that can be found anywhere into food; its effect is truly incredible."

"However, I didn't put any meat in it. How is this braised beef noodle soup made?"

Filled with curiosity, Xiao Yun clicked on the braised beef noodles icon.

After a loud bang, a "ding!" was heard, and a bowl of braised beef noodles was served from the outlet below.

The braised beef noodles didn't soak properly, seemingly because no water was added.

But this also allowed Xiao Yun to see things more clearly.

It's almost exactly the same as a certain chef's classic version: a dry flatbread, some simple powdered seasonings, and you can faintly smell some spices and spiciness.

There were a few scattered green leaves at the top, like dried vegetables, but Xiao Yun seemed to smell a bitter grassy smell.

"However, where's the meat in the braised beef noodles?"

After searching for a long time, Xiao Yun finally found a few brown, unidentified objects, each no bigger than a little fingernail and as hard as tree bark.

When Xiao Yun poured in hot water, soaked the noodles, and took a bite, he discovered...

"Damn! It really is like eating tree bark."

Xiao Yun frowned slightly, chewed twice, and then swallowed the rough fiber.

"However, it does contain some protein, which is probably extracted from the wood, but it's too coarse. The elderly and children should pick it out, otherwise they won't be able to digest it."

"The noodles were also very rough, and the texture... was indescribable."

Xiao Yun summoned the little fire dragon and poured the entire bowl of noodles into its mouth.

The little dragon swallowed it in two gulps, its eyes lighting up.

"Clatter—Clatter—Clatter—Hooray! (Master, this thing tastes pretty good!)"

"The classic recipe guarantees a great taste."

Xiao Yun smiled and made a few more bowls, tossing them to it:

"However, apart from the taste, this braised beef noodle soup is completely different from the picture, and it tastes much worse than that chef's."

But aside from the less-than-ideal taste, it's almost entirely a good product.

The ingredients are inexpensive and readily available, and the food made from them is edible.

"The ingredients used don't contain much fat, so there's not much oil. If we add some beans, it will definitely be much better and the nutrition will be more balanced."

Although Xiao Yun didn't like the poorly made noodles, he was quite certain of their value.

From the time he transmigrated to the present, he has been weak and even died, but he has never been hungry.

However, he and Ji Mingyu, among others, represent a group of top players in the world, not the vast majority of ordinary people.

Xiao Yun couldn't help but think of Xingfuli Community. When he first went there, food was so scarce that they had to voluntarily reduce the population to survive.

"Hunger is the norm for ordinary people, especially after winter when food is severely scarce."

"If it weren't for the greenhouses built with resources like warm stones, and the high yields of crops produced by the stellar mutation, the ideal country would also be struggling to make ends meet."

Xiao Yun sighed softly, looking at the [All-Purpose Food Maker], a glimmer of light flickering in his eyes.

With this machine, no matter what, there will definitely be no need to worry about not having anything to eat.

Even with the current inventory in the ideal country, every family can still have a couple of dishes every now and then to improve their meals.

"Let's keep this machine in the lobby for everyone's convenience."

Xiao Yun put away the [All-Purpose Food Maker] and then looked at another item.

[Building/Props: Closed Ecosystem (Semi-finished)]

[Grade: A]

【Effect 1 - Ecological Cycle: When basic elements such as producers, consumers, decomposers, inorganic matter, and organic matter are present within the area, a closed ecosystem can be spontaneously formed, which is unaffected by the external environment before the internal cycle collapses.】

【Effect 2 - Acceleration: You can choose to accelerate the cycle within the ecosystem to increase output, but the overall stability of the ecosystem may decrease】

【Effect 3 - Biomass Energy: Consumes energy stored in the ecosystem to form biomass energy, which can be used as fuel, a special energy source, or to expand and optimize the ecosystem. High-quality biomass energy can be used to improve attributes】

(Biomass energy is related to the level of each object participating in the cycle in the ecosystem; excessive consumption of biomass energy will accelerate the collapse of the ecosystem.)

[Description: A creation born of desire and ambition, yet also a work with limitless possibilities]

"The ecosystem created by the Gluttonous King was actually recognized by the system after it was integrated with the system."

Xiao Yun's eyes flickered, his expression somewhat complicated.

"What things in this world are inherently good or evil? It all depends on the choices of those who use them."

In the hands of the Gluttonous King, this thing is a hell that devours people, but in his hands, it will be a treasure that allows more people to live.

"Let's put it in the South Campus. There's more space there, and the land for reconstruction is concentrated there, making it easier to plan."

However, with the "ecosystem," the reconstruction of planting and breeding areas can be slightly altered.

"We have no shortage of various plants and crops. The wild rabbits and pheasants that the guild used to raise were at the bottom of the food chain. The Howling Moon White Wolf pack has also grown up. If there are no combat missions, they can help maintain the ecology."

"Organic matter decomposition can be temporarily replaced by recycling stations. There are too few microorganisms in nature in winter, so we still need to cultivate them slowly."

Xiao Yun roughly considered it and made a preliminary plan.

Then, he packaged up the initial plan, along with the "ecosystem," and handed it over to others.

Having just settled the new members, Ji Mingyu and the others condemned Xiao Yun's behavior.

"I'm helping you grow, and I also have important things to do."

"Bullshit! I just saw you run back to the dorm; you were just going back to slack off!"

Xiao Yun expressed feeling very wronged about this.

"I'm just conserving my energy to prepare for tonight's tarot session."

Xiao Yun lay on the bed, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the Tarot session to begin.

The Crow King was ready, and Xiao Yun, through the contract connection, slowly ascended to the gray mist.

"Good evening, Mr. Death."

The demon who had been staying there quickly got up and greeted Xiao Yun.

He was still hoping that Xiao Yun would save him again.

"Um."

Xiao Yun simply gave a nonchalant reply and quietly sat down, waiting for the Tarot session to begin.

At this tarot gathering, he plans to collect plants and animals from various places to build an ecosystem.

Of course, it would be even better if you could collect some high-level living creatures.

"There are a lot of wild monsters around Lady Power's area. I wonder if we could ask her to help us find a few suitable ones, capture them alive, and release them into the ecosystem."

"If she's willing to summon me, maybe I can get one or two King-level creatures to improve the biomass energy produced by the ecosystem."

As he was thinking, the others gradually arrived.

After greeting Mr. Ta as usual, the gathering officially began.

Before Xiao Yun could even take any action, someone dropped a bombshell.
