The Celestial Empire theme song on the tip of his tongue suddenly sounded, and Huo Chi reluctantly took his eyes off the hot pot and picked up his mobile phone.

"Huo Chi, why don't you go home on New Year's Day?" came from the phone's mother's voice.

When his mother called, Huo Chi quickly explained: "Mom, I want to participate in the food competition, and I can't go back." ”

"Food Competition?!Eat, eat, eat, you know! Look at you, you're almost 200 pounds, how can you find a girlfriend like this?" The mother's voice was full of complaints: "Look at your sister, you're going to get married at the end of the year, why don't you hurry up and find a girlfriend!" I'll tell you, if you can't find a girlfriend again, you won't go home for the Spring Festival!"

His mother hung up the phone angrily, Huo Chi's mood suddenly fell to the bottom, he thought that his mother was calling to congratulate him on his birthday, but he didn't expect it to be a surprise. He put down his phone and picked up a letter in his hand.

The words on the letter stung him again: Since you are not eligible to participate, we invite you to attend the food contest as a spectator.

"Audience, I'm not rare!" Huo Chi usually submits food manuscripts to make a living, and he thinks that his cooking skills as a gourmand are only at the level of home, so it is no wonder that he will be rejected by professional competitions.

It's okay to be in a bad mood, Huo Chi can change his mood, and the magic weapon is the steaming copper hot pot, and the forty-eight flavored base ingredients are mixed together to form a mouth-watering delicious prelude.

"Foodie!Express!" The voice of the courier brother came, and Huo Chi got up and opened the door.

"Sign here. The courier brother looked at Huo Chi's big fat hand that was signing, and suddenly couldn't help but say: "I've sent you eight couriers today, all of them are food, you have to be careful of your body." ”

Huo Chi vaguely agreed, the courier brother took the order and turned to leave, and when he was about to close the door, the neighbor opened the door and walked out.

"Go out?" Huo Chi greeted the brightly dressed beautiful neighbor, who knew that the beautiful woman just glanced at Huo Chi with contempt and muttered, "It's this dead fat man again." Then he hurried away.

I'm fat to eat your meal?!" Huo Chi snorted and closed the door and opened the express package.

"That's good! Huo Chi poured the beef balls into the hot pot, and the aroma of the beef immediately came out. Looking at the churning hot pot, Huo Chi smiled, isn't it just that he has been despised since the morning until now?

He touched his beer belly, and his mood gradually improved. The fragrant copper pot shabu-shabu is the best delicacy in the middle of winter in the north.

The beef balls suddenly floated out of the soup noodles, Huo Chi's eyes flashed and he picked up the top meatballs, he blew it, and couldn't wait to put the beef balls in his mouth.

With a little force, the beef balls were bitten open, and the delicious meat juice burst into his mouth at once, Huo Chi didn't care about burning his mouth at all, so he chewed hard.

He picked up another one, and as soon as he put it in his mouth, he heard a knock on the door again: "Express!"

Huo Chi stood up suddenly, but he didn't expect the beef balls to roll to his throat all of a sudden. He was shocked, but it was too late, and the pills blocked his trachea!

Wouldn't it? Die alone in this room of less than 20 square meters? No, it's my birthday!

Huo Chi, who couldn't breathe, fell to his knees in pain, and in just a moment, this single dog who had just passed his thirtieth birthday lost consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, Huo Chi felt someone groping on him, and he struggled to open his eyes, only to find a ragged man digging into his pocket.

"Damn, aren't you dead?" the man suddenly found Huo Chi glaring at him, and he became a little timid.

Huo Chi just wanted to scold him, but found that his mouth didn't obey him at all. Not only that, but in addition to being able to stare at him, his body doesn't listen to commands anymore.

The man smiled when he saw that Huo Chi was just staring at him and not speaking: "It turns out that you can't move yet." Brother, I can't help it, if I hadn't taken the slime off your face just now, you wouldn't have survived, and we'd be cleared. ”

As he spoke, the man took out his wallet and slipped away, leaving Huo Chi, who could still only stare dryly. Huo Chi only felt that 10,000 *** horses had run through in his heart, hateful, he only hated that he couldn't move.

"I didn't choke to death when I ate beef balls just now?" The big foodie was angry and remembered the dilemma just now, he looked around, no, why did I come outside?

At this time, he was leaning against the corner of a building, and he wondered, it was so hot here, why did winter turn into summer?

What is this? Huo Chi shifted his gaze and found himself in his hand with a large translucent green unidentified object. He felt a little sick and wanted to move away, but he still couldn't move, what the hell was wrong with me?!

"You have too low a synchronization rate between spirit and body!" Just when Huo Chi was almost crazy, a neutral voice suddenly sounded.

"Who's talking?!" Huo Chi asked silently.

"Hello, my name is Adventure, ah no, the foodie system. The voice was actually coming from his head.

"Exploring the Abu Gourmet's System, this name is so personal!" Huo Chi couldn't help but tease.

"I have merged with you. The gourmand system ignored him and continued to say coldly:

"Huo Chi, Foodie System Level 1

Monster Eating Guide Unlocks: Slime Slime Vine

Kitchenware unlocked: Inferior iron pan inferior cutting board

Knife unlocked: Inferior kitchen knife

Tableware unlocked: white porcelain bowl, white porcelain spoon

Seasoning unlocked: Salt

Gourmand Body Bonus: +1 Taste

Huo Chi wondered in his heart, what are these? What the hell is this to fuse without my consent? However, he found that his body was gradually able to move.

The system ignored Huo Chi and continued: "Given that the body is on the verge of death and can only be forced to fuse, don't worry about the host, after having the Gourmet System, you will learn the secrets of the monster, and the body will become strong and perfect." ”

Huo Chi was happy when he heard this, it didn't matter if the monster was secret and the body was strong, but as a foodie fat man for decades, a perfect body was really a dream.

The system suddenly said: "Alarm, alarm, only 1% of the energy is left, the host must immediately do a task to increase the energy, if the task cannot be completed within 24 hours, the body will be destroyed." ”

Huo Chi was shocked, if he didn't do the task, he would be destroyed? Nima! Is it too late to untie now?

"Unbinding is invalid, please take the task immediately!" the system said mercilessly.

As soon as Huo Chi wanted to ask how to take the task, he found that the scenery in front of him had changed.

There is a highlighted menu above the normal field of vision, on which are written levels, body parameters, monster eating guides, quests, kitchen utensils, and many words obscured by the highlighted mosaics. This scene, this vision! It's just black technology!
