Chapter 1

Dragging his exhausted body, Ye Fei carefully walked past the landlord's door, then quickly came to his own door, took out the key, and was about to open it when he felt a menacing wind from behind.

Without time to think, Ye Fei nimbly dodged to the side, avoiding a pair of large hands, and then nervously stared at the person who had attacked him, immediately putting on a smile and saying, "Sister Ma, it's almost eleven o'clock, haven't you gone to bed yet?"

Landlady Ma, with her hands on her large waist, said, "Ye Fei, don't try to fool me. You haven't paid last month's rent, and this month's rent is already ten days overdue. When are you going to pay? Give me a straight answer."

Ye Fei's face immediately turned grim, and he said, "Sister Ma, you know I'm short on cash right now. My salary won't be paid until the 15th. Can you give me a few more days? I'll pay the rent as soon as I get my salary on the 15th."

Landlady Ma stared at Ye Fei's face for a long time, making him feel extremely uneasy. He thought, "What's going on? Do you want me to pay with my body? Let me tell you, I, Ye Fei, am a decent man. Unless you waive my rent for half a year, there's no way we can talk about it."

"The 15th, you said it yourself. If you can't pay the rent by the 15th, you'll have to pack your things and leave," Landlady Ma said coldly.

Ye Fei nodded hurriedly, with a forced smile, "Thank you, Sister Ma. I promise, no later than the 16th."

"Hmm?" Hearing Ye Fei push the date back another day, Landlady Ma's big eyes widened even more, looking like she was about to explode.

Ye Fei shivered and quickly said, "No, it's the 15th, no later than the 15th."

Landlady Ma nodded in satisfaction and then turned and left.

Seeing Landlady Ma enter her room, Ye Fei quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then opened the door to his room.

It was a single room of about thirty square meters, with a bathroom inside. At the entrance to the bathroom was a white-tiled counter, which served as a simple kitchen.

Back in the room, Ye Fei let out a long sigh, threw himself on the bed, and buried his face in the pillow.

"Phew~"

After a couple of minutes, Ye Fei lifted his head, turned over, and stared blankly at the pale ceiling.

"What should I do? If I pay 1,600 yuan for the rent on the 15th, I'll be left with nothing next month. Do I really have to borrow money? But I already owe tens of thousands of yuan."

"Rumble~"

While thinking about his future plans, Ye Fei's stomach suddenly growled.

Sitting up in bed, Ye Fei rubbed his stomach and said with a bitter smile, "When it rains, it pours. I'm so poor now, and my stomach is making noise. I should get something to eat first."

Getting out of bed and going to the door, Ye Fei wanted to turn on the light to cook, but as soon as his hand touched the switch, he felt a current run through his body from his fingertips.

Ye Fei cried out in his heart, "Damn, I'm electrocuted."

Just as Ye Fei felt that disaster was imminent, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "System binding to host successful."

"Host name: Ye Fei."

"Gender: Male."

"Age: Twenty years old."

"Hometown: Lingtian County, Yinzhou City, Xichuan Province, Huaxia."

"Political affiliation: Young Pioneer fifteen years ago."

"Hobbies: Peeping, eating."

"Special skills: Amazing appetite and no pickiness."

"Beauty standards: Any female looks beautiful."

"Favorite colors: Yellow, green."

"Occupation: Apprentice chef at Tianhe Shanggong in Yinzhou City (learned cooking for half a year, only knows how to wash vegetables)."

...

"Stop, stop, just stop!"

The voice in his mind was systematically introducing all of Ye Fei's information, and he couldn't take it anymore. If it continued, all his private secrets would be exposed, so he quickly shouted to stop.

"Does the host have something to say?"

"Of course, I have a lot to say. Who are you? Why does your voice sound like it's coming from my mind?"

The mechanical voice sounded again, "I am the Godly Food Streamer System. You can also call me MB System."

"MB you," Ye Fei sneered, about to say something sarcastic, but suddenly froze, taking a while to react. He stared with wide eyes and asked, "You... you said what? You're a system? A system that binds me as the host?"

MB System said, "Host characteristic added: extremely long reflex arc."

Ye Fei: "..."

"This system comes from a space unknown to you. The main purpose of binding to the host is to help the host become a godly food streamer in the entire universe." Before Ye Fei could ask anything else, MB System started explaining.

"Godly food streamer? You want me to be a streamer? The kind that acts silly and cute in front of the camera every day?" Ye Fei asked incredulously.

MB System said, "A streamer isn't about acting silly and cute. It's about gaining recognition from the audience through your abilities, thus earning money from tips."

Ye Fei thought about it, and the system was right. With the development of society, many new professions had emerged, and online streaming was one of them. Indeed, many talented people had emerged in this field, excelling in various skills, some even surpassing second- and third-tier celebrities.

But now, if he were to become a streamer, how could he do it? He had nothing to offer that would gain the audience's recognition. Singing, playing instruments, and dancing? He could do a bit of everything, but he was mediocre at all of them. If he tried streaming, he'd probably be laughed at.

"This... I don't seem to have the talent for streaming," Ye Fei scratched his head, embarrassed.

MB System said, "As a food streamer system, my main task is to assist the host in overcoming obstacles and achieving success. The system will provide necessary and timely help."

"Wow, that's great, really great. If you can do what you say, I'll give it a try. What should I do first?" Ye Fei was excited. Hearing that the system would provide necessary and timely help, he felt confident. All he needed to do was one thing: go for it!

MB System, ignoring Ye Fei's excitement, continued to answer his questions mechanically: "To become a streamer, the host first needs top-tier equipment. The system will automatically configure a top-tier invisible mobile high-definition color camera, an invisible golden voice microphone, and a lightning-fast, always-connected internet and a top-tier computer. You also need a platform. The system recommends Qiu Qiu Live. Since the host wants to be a food streamer, you must have superb culinary skills."

Ye Fei was happy when he heard the first two points, but his face turned grim when he heard the last condition.

Superb culinary skills?

Are you kidding me? You just said I've been learning cooking for half a year, and I still only know how to wash vegetables.

"The first two points are fine, but the third one... I don't seem to meet the requirement," Ye Fei said awkwardly.

MB System said, "Don't worry about your culinary skills. The system will help you. The system will provide top-tier ingredients and teach you top-tier culinary skills. All you need to do is follow through."

Ye Fei rubbed his chin, his eyes darting around. He was happy to have the system, but he wasn't so delusional as to think there was no catch. If the system did everything, what was left for him to do? There couldn't be such a good thing in the world.

"Tell me the truth, what's your real intention in helping me so much?"

MB System said, "To help the host become a godly food streamer in the entire universe."

"Really?" Ye Fei didn't believe it. Even if it was a system, it wouldn't help him so much without a purpose.

"Really. The host needs to become an excellent streamer and use the money from tips to exchange for system rewards. If the host performs exceptionally well, the system will provide periodic bonus packages."

"Damn, so I have to do tasks?" Ye Fei knew the system wouldn't help him for nothing. It turned out he had to do tasks, like leveling up and fighting monsters.

"Exactly. Currently, the system is only at level one. The rest are locked. If the host wants to unlock higher levels, you need to use the money from tips as the cost."

"Only level one? How much will it cost to unlock level two?" Ye Fei asked curiously, wanting to know the specifics.

MB System said calmly, "Not much, one million Huaxia yuan."

Ye Fei almost fell over. Not much? One million Huaxia yuan? What the hell, if I had one million, I wouldn't need to be a streamer.

"System, are you kidding me?"
