Xie Sen asked Yang Shun for the next day’s leave and left work. He had the System on his mind and decided to go straight home. While he was searching for a route home on his personal bracelet, he checked the supermarkets he would pass by. He wanted to cook his own food to save money.

He was also more accustomed to his own handiwork.

There was a convenience supermarket right next to the neighborhood where he lived, so he took a public shuttle, got off near the neighborhood and walked to the supermarket as directed by the map.

The supermarkets on Brandt Star were similar to his modern supermarket, but the food section was very different, divided into fresh and dry goods sections.

The fresh food section was a vertically opening fridge with the same kind of meat in each row. There were a lot of people buying meat. It was the staple food here after all. Xie Sen didn’t buy immediately, just strolled around and got a general idea of the price of meat here.

Large beast meat was five star coins a pound. He had bought that box lunch with this kind of meat. Small beast meat was ten star coins a pound, bird meat was fifteen star coins a pound, and the most expensive was fish meat, which topped at twenty star coins a pound.

He looked at the fish drawer for a while, and finally bought three pounds of large beast meat.

With no money in hand, he was panicking. The part-time salary of the care center was given once a week. He must save a little.

Back home, he made roast meat. The taste was very good, but since he had eaten this for two days in a row, he felt a little heavy.

Before, he had spent every day eating vegetables, and didn’t know how to cherish them. Now think about it! He couldn’t help but spit on himself.

The good thing was that now the red pepper had been activated, as long as there was energy, his roast meat could at least have peppers as a side dish. Not only was it a vegetable, but it could also be used as a seasoning.

He tidied up the kitchen, stood in the middle of the hall and opened the System panel. He looked at the upper left corner of the chili pepper pattern; ‘Battle.’

“Is red pepper selected for battle?”

“Yes.“

All of a sudden, a small, arm-length red pepper bush appeared in front of him. The main trunk was divided into three slender branches, all with lush, slender green leaves, just no peppers. The frontmost branch of the red pepper was bent. The top gently touched Xie Sen’s forehead, and the leaves twitched very fondly.

Xie Sen pinched one of its leaves, and smiled. “Later we will be fighting side by side again. Let’s train first and get familiar with each other.“

The top of the branch nodded. Xie Sen concentrated on feeling the presence of the pepper bush, and gave the attack command in his head, “Attack the wall.”

He stood in the middle of the living room, and faced the empty wall that was about two meters away from.

With the command, the main trunk of the pepper tree suddenly lengthened and attacked the wall with a smack. The branch broke in half and the leaves hung down sadly.

Xie Sen sensed the frustration coming from the pepper bush, and hurriedly reassured it in his head, “It’s okay. It’s okay. I didn’t make myself clear.”

The leaves of the pepper bush rose up, and the two broken halves healed themselves. They returned to their original form and floated next to Xie Sen’s left shoulder. Xie Sen didn’t immediately order it again, but thought it through. Each plant had a specific attack ability. Activating a plant would be prompted by the System.
