Chapter 195: Chapter 195: The Performance of a Certain Quintuple
Translator: 549690339
These blistering days, when it’s too unbearable to withstand the sweltering heat and endure the mosquitoes’ bites, are quite distressing.
The freshly harvested mugwort that has arrived can alleviate the problem somewhat, allowing for a peaceful night’s sleep.
However, though mugwort is effective, its effects are not particularly significant. If a cheap, mosquito repellent herbal pack could be made, that would be perfect.
[If the host needs a mosquito repellent herbal pack, the system could help out.]
[Just by completing a task, you can obtain the secret recipe for a mosquito repellent herbal pack. The unlocked mosquito repellent powder added into it can have an excellent deterrent effect on mosquitoes, surpassing even modern mosquito repellents.]
This sounds appealing, but here comes the crux of the matter, the task must be completed.
So this task…
Will it be hard?
Previously, she stumbled upon different tasks by encountering problems or doing something, and would then receive corresponding recipe rewards. But this time an entity seems to be enticing her with the task reward beforehand.
Zhuang Qingning felt that this task was certainly not simple.
[This task isn’t hard, it’s just helping someone out, hehehe…]
The more you portray it as being simple, the more complicated it becomes.
But if I remember correctly, after you announce the task, the host can choose whether or not to do it, right?
[Correct, host. Your memory serves you well.]
Flattering me now…
Zhuang Qingning increasingly felt this was a highly intricate matter.
Still, complexities aside, if the cost of the task is too high and she deems it not worth exchanging for a mosquito repellent herbal pack recipe, she can very well choose not to do it.
She can always have the final say and won’t lose out.
Therefore, how about considering this when the time comes?
[Alright, we can decide when the time comes. But, this task really isn’t complicated. It’s just helping someone…]
No matter how you embellish the task, I’m an old hunter – I won’t strike without seeing the rabbit. Wait until the task is activated before I’ll decide. And stop chattering in my ear about it.
[Okay…]
The entity quietly retreated.
But moments later, it popped up again.
[Host, it really isn’t a difficult task. If you accept the task now, you can get an extra reward.]
What reward?
[A recipe for corn ribs soup.]
???
I just made this dish tonight, and now you’re giving me the recipe for it?
[So, I saw that the host likes this soup, so I specifically offered it.]
[Moreover, the more recipes the host accumulates, the more advantageous it will be for the host to open a restaurant in the future.]
Zhuang Qingning pondered a moment…
You first tell me about the task.
With this recipe in hand, I could listen.
[The task is…to help someone drive away a ghost…]
