Apocalypse: Transmigrated with an Overlord System
Chapter 166: Today’s Menu

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Today’s Menu

The warm atmosphere almost set the entire base on fire. Various "hidden chefs" appeared one after another. Some brought their own collection of seasonings.

Liora watched this scene in the crowd with a calm smile on her face. She walked slowly to the system terminal, operated it a few times skillfully, and added "Turtle Meat Mushroom Soup" to the menu.

"Huh?" She tilted her head in surprise. "So you can add a menu here? I didn’t notice it at first..."

Little Eli rolled his eyes beside her and complained quietly in his heart, "It’s not real. Who are you trying to fool... Only these stupid adults believe it."

But he didn’t say anything, just quietly followed Liora, looking at the bustling scene around him, and his heart couldn’t help but relax a little.

"If... this place can really become a home, then it seems not bad."

When the first wisp of rice fragrance spread in the air, the atmosphere of the entire base was instantly boiling.

Rows of chefs stood behind the open kitchen. Hot pots were rolling, the spatula hit the iron pot with a sonorous rhythm, the stove was bright, and steam rose. Today’s menu has been automatically uploaded to the light screen in front of the cafeteria counter, and the name, maker, and price of each dish are clear at a glance.

[Main course: fragrant and soft white rice - 20 low grade crystal cores]

[Hot dish 1: Turtle meat and mushroom soup (Zhao Yuan) - 40 low grade crystal cores ]

[Hot dish 2: Spicy wild vegetable stir-fried meat (Lin Chen) - 30 low grade crystal cores]

[Hot dish 3: Pan-fried mushroom omelet (Shen Yuqiao) - 25 low grade crystal cores]

[Three side dishes of your choice: automatic packaging]

Notes next to the price: 20% discount for card payment, original price calculation for crystal core payment

Residents lined up in front of the counter. They swiped their cards in an orderly manner, and the system automatically deducted the money. The food was packaged in a clean, insulated lunch box and quickly delivered by the automatic assembly arm.

"Ah, this mushroom soup is so fragrant!"

"Who is Zhao Yuan? I want to order what he made!"

"I just finished eating that omelet, it’s amazing... It’s a pity that Shen Yuqiao didn’t make a debut!"

Residents without cards can also pay with crystal cores, but everyone who paid with card has a satisfied look on their faces.

After the meal, a rating window popped up on the light screen in front of the counter. Each diner could rate and leave a message based on taste, portion, and satisfaction. The atmosphere was extremely warm.

Soon after, the final selection results of the system came out:

[Top two chefs in today’s rating: Zhao Yuan, Shen Yuqiao]

[Employed as formal chefs]

[Three assistants selected by the chefs: Li Qing, Si Manman, Wu Qian]

The selected candidates stood in front of the hall and excitedly took the temporary work card popped up by the system, with the joy on their faces uncontrollable.

"I... I was really selected?" Li Qing’s eyes were red. "I’m just a vegetable cutter..."

"Damn, 300 crystal cores daily! This job is worth it!!" Manman cheered with a fist.

——

And Liora, sitting at a temporary dining table not far away, holding a lunch box in her hand, with a gentle look.

The fragrant rice is paired with the attractive turtle meat and mushroom soup. The warm soup seeps into the rice grains, and the aroma of game and mushrooms interweaves, with a mellow taste.

She gently scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth, her eyes slightly brightened.

"... It’s really so delicious."

With a slight arc at the corner of her mouth, she slowly put down the spoon. Even though she was no longer short of food, such a meal with "human touch" still made her feel a long-lost comfort.

And her companions also sat beside her with lunch boxes.

"This soup is great, I want to pack a portion to eat in the evening." Zhao Ren smacked his lips while eating.

"I give it five stars!" Zhou Yinuo gave a full score without hesitation.

"If I can eat this kind of food every day in the future, I am willing to work all day." Liang Zihan licked the soup spoon and smiled.

"It really feels like home." Yun Shou added softly.

Liora looked at the familiar faces around her and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

Just as everyone was still immersed in the afterglow of the food, an anxious figure hurried through the crowd and walked quickly towards Liora.

It was Shen Yuqiao.

"Miss Liora!" Her voice trembled slightly, and her face was full of grievance and uneasiness.

Liora turned her head, her tone gentle but concerned: "What’s wrong?"

Shen Yuqiao bit her lip and whispered, "Just now... someone gave me a bad review on the rating interface, saying that I used spoiled ingredients... but I really didn’t..."

Her eyes were watery, her fists were clenched tightly, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

Liora’s eyes darkened a little, and her eyes looked coldly at the whispering figures at the cafeteria counter. She stood up, said nothing more, and walked steadily to the main control terminal in front of the counter.

Her figure was slender, but with a sense of oppression that people dared not ignore. She raised her hand and tapped the light screen with her slender fingertips a few times——

The interface that originally only displayed the name of the dish and the price suddenly changed. A light blue data window unfolded, showing a detailed quality inspection report.

[Dish: Pan-fried mushroom omelet]

[Ingredients: wild mushrooms (inspection rating: S), pheasant eggs (freshness: high), wild chives (no pesticide residues), seasonings (base supply, 100% qualified)]

[Ingredients quality inspection status: all passed / no corruption / no odor / no toxins]

[User rating: 4.95 / 5 ★★★★★]

The shining stars flashed on the interface, and everyone was stunned.

Liora looked at the crowd with a calm gaze. Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone:

"The rating is clearly written here, and the quality of the dishes is also clear at a glance. All the ingredients used in the canteen are uniformly distributed by the base system and can only be put into use after being tested by the terminal."

She paused, swept her eyes across the crowd, and her tone became more serious:

"If anyone questions the safety of the dishes, then he is indirectly questioning the base’s management system."

The atmosphere froze in an instant, and everyone felt their hearts tighten.

The next moment, the broadcast above the canteen suddenly sounded, and the familiar but more solemn AI female voice echoed in the sky:

[System Notice: All raw materials in the base canteen have been reviewed by the testing terminal, and the meat is processed by the purification device to ensure that there are no bacteria, toxins, or pollution. Residents can eat it with confidence.]

[Spreading false statements and maliciously slandering the base management system will be regarded as disturbing order.]

As soon as the voice fell, a name suddenly popped up on the big screen—

[Suspect: Chen Liang]

[Behavior: anonymously gave a low rating and left a message "using spoiled materials" without any basis, which has damaged the chef’s reputation]

[Punishment decision: light disciplinary punishment - responsible for material collecting for three consecutive days]

[Announcement completed]
