Chapter 549 Wanting to Touch

[Hmm...that's true, and the liquid seems to be rising at an alarming rate, as if it's about to completely engulf Boss Mo.]

The system also turned its attention to the liquid, and after careful observation, it agreed with Lin Xiyue's view.

Lin Xiyue stared at the rapidly rising liquid again, a sense of tension rising in her heart.

Just then, her gaze was suddenly drawn to a magic circle on the table.

The magic circle connected itself without anyone touching it, and then a lidded object appeared on it.

Lin Xiyue looked closely and realized that the lid was clearly the kind of tray commonly used when eating.

She then realized that this must be the food ordered by the system being delivered, and in such an unmanned way, it was incredibly convenient.

[It looks like it won't be long before this liquid completely submerges Boss Mo. Hmm... but the food has arrived, host, you should eat something first.]

The system also noticed the tray and spoke up.

"Okay, let me see."

As Lin Xiyue spoke, she walked to the table and then reached out to lift the lid.

Wow~ w(?Д?)w

The moment the lid was lifted and the dishes inside were revealed, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

She stared wide-eyed at the table of dishes before her, her face filled with astonishment.

Because the dishes on this table looked so strange, completely beyond her imagination.

First of all, Lin Xiyue was surprised to find that almost all of the dishes on the table were green.

Just as the system has a special fondness for green, all the dishes it ordered, even the plates, were green, with only a few scattered accents of other colors.

To be honest, if it weren't for the food, it would actually look quite nice as is.

However, when Lin Xiyue looked down and carefully examined the dishes, she discovered that they were not just simple green vegetables, but also meat dishes that the system had specially ordered for her, although these meat dishes also presented a unique green color.

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but feel suspicious. She wasn't sure what these green meat and vegetable dishes were made of.

They look and have a texture similar to ordinary meat, but their color is a vibrant green.

Is this some kind of specially processed meat? Or is it plant-based meat?

Various possibilities flashed through Lin Xiyue's mind, but in the end she still couldn't determine why the dishes had turned out this way.

"Really, is it edible?"

Faced with this table of dishes that didn't seem very appetizing, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but question the system.

Her tone betrayed a hint of disbelief, suggesting reservations about the edibility of these dishes.

[Of course, it's delicious! Trust my choice!]

The system's voice was full of confidence and certainty; it had absolute confidence in these dishes.

After saying that, its beady eyes, which had turned into stars, stared intently at Lin Xiyue, sparkling with expectant light, as if to say—try it, you'll definitely like it!

Lin Xiyue hesitated as she looked at the system's adorable act.

After all, this thing looked a bit strange, and she was really hesitant to try it.

However, under the system's expectant gaze, she finally mustered her courage, picked up the fork, and carefully speared something that looked like a piece of fried meat.

"I... I'm starting to eat?"

Lin Xiyue's voice trembled slightly, and her hands also shook a little.

After saying that, as if she had made a great decision, she suddenly closed her eyes and quickly stuffed the piece of meat into her mouth.

"Ugh! (wДw)"

Lin Xiyue let out a surprised sound as soon as her mouth touched the fried meat.

Her eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

"It's actually quite delicious!"

Lin Xiyue said in surprise, her voice revealing a hint of delight.

Then, she slowly chewed the piece of meat in her mouth, savoring its unique texture and flavor.

The fried meat chunks had a crispy outer layer and tender, juicy meat inside. The moment she bit into them, a rich and unique aroma filled her mouth.

Lin Xiyue chewed the piece of meat in her mouth a few times, then swallowed it with satisfaction.

"It's really delicious! This is the first time I've ever eaten something so unique!"

She opened her eyes, a joyful smile on her face, and spoke to the system.

Hehehe, how about it? Isn't my choice delicious? Although the color isn't very appealing, I've looked at the ingredients carefully, and they're all natural spices.

Look at the perfect combination of spices! With so many spices, even sticky rice in your shoes would taste delicious! (*^▽^*)

The system said smugly, very satisfied with its choice.

Lin Xiyue was completely captivated by the delicious food. She didn't even have the energy to praise the system. Instead, she simply stretched out her hand, gave the system a thumbs-up, and gave it a firm thumbs-up in approval.

This simple action expressed her high regard for the food and the system's aesthetic sense.

Soon, Lin Xiyue was completely immersed in the delicious food, savoring every bite and letting her taste buds dance on her tongue.

On the other hand, Meros's situation was somewhat different.

Meros was now submerged in an orange-red liquid that seemed to possess some kind of magical power, tightly enveloping him within it.

Perhaps because it was diluted so much, you could still vaguely see Meros inside the liquid.

Because the liquid was a beautiful orange-red, Meros's black hair was also tinged with orange-red, as if his whole body was soaked in this orange-red color.

Furthermore, the indoor lights shone through the liquid, causing him to radiate a strange glow, as if his edges were glowing, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

Lin Xiyue quickly finished her meal and then saw this scene before her.

“Amo…”

For a moment, her voice trembled slightly, and her gaze was fixed on Meros in front of her.

She involuntarily took a step forward, leaned slightly forward, and pressed her hands tightly against the protective shield that looked like glass, as if she could feel the presence of Meros in that way.

[Don't worry, this won't affect Boss Mo.]

The system's voice rang in Lin Xiyue's ears, trying to comfort her.

Lin Xiyue nodded slightly. Of course she knew that what the system said was true, but her unease did not lessen as a result.

“I know… but just watching him like this makes me feel so powerless.”

Her voice carried a hint of helplessness and bitterness as she spoke slowly.
