Chapter 22: Juanjuan’s Favorability Increases, BBQ Powder

Sweet Potato was very fragrant, much more delicious than the flatbread.

So, Jiang Dai decided to first go to the village to look around and see if there was any possibility of finding more Sweet Potato.

After all, since this Sweet Potato could appear in their home, it proved that this thing was native to this place.

“Mother, I’ll go with you. Don’t get lost.”

As the eldest son, Bai Yunqi felt he needed to step up.

After all, Goudan had been too much of a troublemaker before, so he needed to quickly change his image.

Jiang Dai thought for a moment: “That works.”

She didn’t have the Original Host’s memories, so going out rashly would indeed be troublesome. It was better to have a child accompany her.

Bai Yunqi: “Should we leave now?”

He really didn’t want to eat Wild Vegetables flatbread anymore.

The main issue was that the flatbread was basically all Wild Vegetables—too bitter and astringent. The unknown grains mixed in were coarse and scratchy on the throat.

Jiang Dai nodded: “Let’s go!”

At the same time.

Juanjuan was feeding the chickens in the courtyard.

Although these three hens had just been redeemed from Da Chui’s house, the three chickens didn’t have much appetite for food. They must have eaten their fill at Da Chui’s house.

Grandma Wang was still a good person, letting their family’s chickens eat a full meal before leaving.

Juanjuan was thinking about this when she heard hurried footsteps behind her.

Turning around, she saw Mother and Eldest Brother rushing out of the house in a flurry.

Almost instantly, the two figures, one big and one small, charged out.

Juanjuan: ?

What were they going to do?

“They went outside to look for Sweet Potato.”

Yun An slowly walked out of the house, solving Juanjuan’s confusion.

Juanjuan: ?

Sweet Potato?

Wasn’t Sweet Potato something Third Brother had taken out from somewhere?

Or had she misunderstood and remembered wrong?

Juanjuan: “Can they find any?”

Yun An clicked his tongue: “Difficult!”

【Of course it’s difficult. There’s no Sweet Potato here. That was something I took out from my Dimensional Space. How could there be any outside.】

Hearing her brother’s inner thoughts, Juanjuan: …

So she hadn’t remembered wrong.

But this meant Third Brother was an Immortal, right?

In a child’s understanding, only Immortals could conjure up good things.

Juanjuan recalled what Third Brother had said and done since waking up.

It seemed… there was no feeling that he wanted to harm her at all.

He only said things in his heart, but more often he helped her.

He helped her fight, helped extort money for the family, and helped bring delicious food to the family.

Juanjuan turned to look at Third Brother and tentatively spoke: “Th-Third Brother.”

“Hmm?”

Yun An looked puzzledly at little Juanjuan who had taken the initiative to call him.

At that moment, without exaggeration, Yun An’s entire body tensed up.

He was already prepared, constantly thinking about how to gain favorability points.

“Do Immortals all know how to conjure things out of thin air?”

Juanjuan waited for Third Brother’s answer.

Yun An was stunned.

【Wait, are all little kids this random? What kind of question is this?】

【Hold on! Conjure things out of thin air? Did this little one see me when I was taking Sweet Potato out of my Dimensional Space?】

【That shouldn’t be possible, right? Whatever, at least the little one is actively talking to me. Better humor her first.】

“I suppose so. Immortals are very powerful, of course they can conjure things out of thin air!”

Yun An used his greatest patience to humor the child.

Then, he heard the System’s notification sound.

Juanjuan’s Favorability Points had risen from -22 to 0!

Yun An was completely excited.

Juanjuan tilted her head, looking puzzledly at the stunned Third Brother, then she heard Third Brother’s joyful voice in her ears.

【This is simply a historic breakthrough! Favorability Points have actually reached zero! No longer negative!】

【Sure enough, children need to be humored.】

【Zero favorability, let me see what this unlocks.】

【It’s actually BBQ Powder that’s unlocked. Really useless—seasoning can’t be eaten, honestly.】

【Wait! Seasoning! BBQ Powder!】

Yun An suddenly realized that this wasn’t the Apocalypse. In the Apocalypse, animals and plants had mutated, their taste was already very poor, and some even carried infection risks when consumed.

In the later stages, the humans who survived all possessed abilities, allowing them to perform Energy Absorption on Crystal Cores and consume specially formulated Energy Drinks.

For the Apocalypse, such seasonings were indeed useless.

But for the Great Yu Dynasty, where even salt was strictly regulated…

BBQ Powder…

It didn’t seem so useless after all!
