95: Section 95

Madam Huang looked at Su Mo, her eyes filled with unconcealed tenderness and love.

"Yes, I came today to see how the business is doing, and by the way, I wanted to try your cooking."

Guo Lin, with a shy and excited expression, chimed in from the side.

"Yes, yes, Su Gege, your cooking is truly delicious, anyone who eats it will never forget it."

Su Mo chuckled.

"There haven't been many people on the streets these past few days; I estimate it's because of the Demon rumors."

"Since you two want to eat, I'll prepare a grand feast for you!"

Soon, accompanied by maids, Madam Huang and Guo Lin went up to the exclusive private room on the second floor.

Su Mo quickly thought about what dishes he should make to satisfy them both.

Just as he was preparing the Materials, a prompt appeared before him.

【Idle simulation ended.】

【You died.】

【You and Young Miss Cao were drowned in a pig cage by the Weaving Office of Yangzhou, living a short and unremarkable life.】

【Life experience settlement is about to begin. Do you wish to view it?】

Chapter 98: Accidental Scalding, Madam Huang's Embroidered Shoes

View, of course, view.

Su Mo immediately opened the love affair life panel.

He was ready to see what he had experienced in this simulation.

It was only a matter of minutes, and there was no rush to cook for Huang Qingwan and Guo Lin after he finished reading.

...

【You were born into a gardener's family. Your father's exquisite craftsmanship ensured you had plenty to eat and wear from a young age, and you had a rather happy childhood.】

【In your sixth year, your Yin and Yang Eyes underwent Awakening, allowing you to see things ordinary people couldn't. This initially frightened you, but as time passed, you began to befriend these ghosts.】

【Your favorite was a ghost elder sister named "Xiao Xie." In your opinion, this elder sister Xiao Xie was simply too beautiful, and you even developed the idea of marrying her when you grew up.】

【Xiao Xie merely took your words as a child's nonsense and didn't take them seriously, so she readily agreed to your request.】

【You were overjoyed; there was nothing happier than growing up and marrying Xiao Xie.】

【Not long after your Yin and Yang Eyes underwent Awakening, a wandering Daoist priest came to your door, saying he had a destiny with you and wanted to take you as a Disciple to pass on his mantle.】

【You didn't want to be separated from Xiao Xie, so you refused the wandering Daoist priest's request.】

【Your father also sent you to a private school to see if you were suitable for studying.】

【After two years of private schooling, your father saw that you were not suited for academics, so he began to prepare you to inherit his profession.】

【Among the ghosts you were familiar with, there was a former Dynasty's landscape Great Master. The garden landscapes he created often blended with nature, leaving no trace of artificiality. While learning the techniques your father taught you, you also learned aesthetics and design from this landscape Great Master.】

【In your twelfth year, the gardens you designed gradually became famous in Yangzhou, but only some local magnates and upstarts hired you to design them.】

【When you designed an endless garden for an upstart according to the landscape Great Master's guidance, everyone was shocked by the Concept within it. You became famous overnight, earning the reputation of "Garden Prodigy."】

【Everyone liked to invite you to help them design residences, and you earned your first substantial sum of money.】

【When you were sixteen, the Weaving Office of Yangzhou heard about your deeds and invited you to design their residence, preparing for their whole family to move into the new house.】

【Receiving such a big job, you naturally put your heart and soul into the design, and you met the woman who would haunt your dreams for the rest of your life.】

【That was Young Miss Cao Chunmei, the beloved daughter of Official Cao. She was dignified and beautiful. You fell hopelessly in love with her, which led to you not being very focused during the design.】

【The ghosts, noticing your change, began to strategize for you. Xiao Xie even directly possessed Cao Chunmei to rendezvous with you.】

【You didn't know it was the ghosts' good intentions and thought Cao Chunmei also liked you, leading to you Breakthrough the taboo.】

【This matter was soon discovered by the awakened Cao Chunmei. Out of shame, she did not make a fuss.】

【Since she was not yet married and had not seen many men, you directly entered her heart, making her fall hopelessly in love with you as well.】

【So you two often met in secret. This continued until the completion of the Weaving Office's residence.】

【And after the completion, your affair was discovered. The Weaving Office of Yangzhou hated you deeply and immediately ordered you and Cao Chunmei to be drowned in a pig cage.】

【You died.】

【You lived for a total of seventeen years.】

【Although you had the name of a Garden Prodigy in this life, you were only a low-level artisan, unable to enter the refined halls.】

【If you had chosen to enter the Dao with your Yin and Yang Eyes, you might have been able to Heaven-Defying your fate.】

【Evaluation: Ordinary.】

【No rewards were obtained in this simulation. Please continue your efforts, player.】

...

Seeing that he didn't receive any rewards, Su Mo wasn't surprised.

If his simulated self had chosen to agree to that Daoist priest, he might have been able to Heaven-Defying his fate.

The downside of autonomous idle mode was here.

All options were randomly selected.

However, it saved a lot of time, so Su Mo was still very willing to keep it on idle mode.

Because he still had to cook for Madam Huang and Guo Lin, Su Mo didn't start a new game but began to stir-fry dishes.

He planned to continue idle mode after finishing the meal.

After gaining the Quick Hand talent, his chopping speed was almost a blur, and he quickly prepared a large table of dishes and sent them over.

Su Mo was very confident in his culinary skills.

He also made a little extra food, which he could reheat and eat with Chun Zhu and Xu Miaoyin in the evening.

After all, Madam Huang and Guo Lin wouldn't eat much.

While Madam Huang and Guo Lin were eating, Su Mo, idle in the kitchen, immediately started a new round.

【Do you want to start the simulation?】

"Start!"

【Randomizing birth location.】

【Your birth location in this simulation is Dadu of the Great Yuan Dynasty.】

Great Yuan?

Although Su Mo's history wasn't great, he knew this was the regime established by the Mongols in history.

He wondered what would be randomly generated this time.

【Randomizing love affair character.】

【Your randomly bound love affair character this time is "Bai Jiao Jiao," the butcher's daughter.】

【Randomizing identity.】

【Your random identity this time is a young novice monk abandoned at the gate of Tianhe Temple.】

Looking at the randomly selected love affair character and identity, Su Mo's face showed an unsurprised expression.

Indeed, a good background and a good love affair character were not so easy to randomly obtain.

A butcher's daughter and a monk who grew up in a temple from a young age, he wondered what kind of love story they would develop.

Now, it seemed that to Heaven-Defying his fate, he needed good talent, otherwise, it would be useless.

【Talent card detected. Do you want to use it?】

"Do not use!"

【Talent card not used. Randomizing talent.】

【Your randomly selected talent this time is "Buddha-Hearted Sword Bone."】

With a flash of purple light, the randomly generated talent appeared before Su Mo.

【Buddha-Hearted Sword Bone: Those with this talent possess a compassionate heart.】

【Their comprehension speed of Buddhist scriptures and the Dao of the sword will be a hundred times faster than ordinary people, but due to excessive wisdom leading to harm, they have a tendency for early death. They need to accumulate more Karma to Heaven-Defying their fate.】

...

Su Mo was a bit surprised to see that a purple talent was randomly generated this time.

One must know that out of these thirty-plus simulations, he only got one purple talent and one gold talent.

The probability of a purple talent appearing was imaginable.

Immediately after, another prompt appeared.

【Do you want to start idle mode?】

Looking at the prompt, although Su Mo really wanted to experience it himself, he still had a lot of work to do, so he might as well just use idle mode.

"Idle mode!"

【Simulating in idle mode.】

【You were born...】

...

Looking at the idle mode prompt bar, Su Mo felt a faint sense of anticipation.

Purple talent.

Plus such a low background.

It should be able to Heaven-Defying his fate, right?

Just as Su Mo was lost in thought, Guo Lin came running over, skipping.

Her pretty face was full of excitement as she looked at Su Mo.

"Su Gege, my Madam wants to talk to you about something."

Looking at the lively and charming Guo Lin, Su Mo suddenly remembered the information from the evening simulation.

That was, the entire Generals Residence would be executed.

Su Mo, who had randomly obtained a purple talent, had lost his excitement and was instead thinking about how to convey this news to Madam Huang.

As if sensing Su Mo's unusualness, Guo Lin also seemed a bit at a loss.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Guo Lin's question, Su Mo immediately forced a smile.

"Nothing, nothing."

"Just thinking about some things regarding the restaurant."

"By the way, let's go now."

"Oh, oh, okay."

Feeling Su Mo's low spirits, Guo Lin didn't dare to say anything, afraid of upsetting him.

As Su Mo walked up the stairs, a flash of inspiration hit him. He suddenly thought of the Hengshan Three Heroes, two of whom had died.

Perhaps.

He could say they had once visited the Pearl Radiance Treasure Pavilion and then heard the news that General Guo had already died.

And then he accidentally overheard it.

He would tell her then and see her reaction.

Thinking of this, Su Mo's brows relaxed, and he couldn't help but be glad of his cleverness.

Outside the private room at this moment, four maids stood there.
