With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

It was already getting dark when Tian Tian's group came out of the dungeon.

They didn't know where to go at first, but then Lin Fan showed up to bring them over to the inn that had been prepared for outsiders.

When Tian Tian saw Lin Fan appear, she couldn't help asking, "How did you know that we were out?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "I had someone waiting and watching. As soon as you came out, they came to tell me and I wasn't that far away."

Tian Tian looked to the side and noticed that there were a few children peeking at them. Seeing this, she couldn't help waving at them before following Lin Fan to the inn.

Tian Tian then couldn't help teasing Lin Fan, "So you're getting children to work for you now?"

Lin Fan just gave a shrug and said, "They were supposed to go help out in the fields, but I had them do this favour for me which allowed them to play in this area."

Tian Tian was surprised when she heard this, but then she looked at Lin Fan with a smile and said, "You really are a kind person."

Lin Fan didn't reply and just revealed a smile.

She wasn't surprised by what Lin Fan said at all since this was an ancient world. Kids were expected to work if they were raised on a farm since it was hard work in the fields and they needed all the hands they could get.

But after thinking for a bit, she couldn't help knitting her brows and asking, "But won't this delay the harvest?"

When they had arrived, they had passed by the lush green rice fields, so they knew that it was harvest season. With all those lush rice plants out there, it was definitely a lot of work harvesting everything.

Lin Fan shook his head and said with a smile, "It's fine, most of the work was already done. There won't be any problems if the kids get a day off today."

Tian Tian looked back at the kids playing and couldn't help revealing a bitter smile as she said, "But the parents couldn't have been happy about it, could they?"

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile in response to this as he said, "You'd be surprised."

Tian Tian turned back to him with a confused look as she waited for him to explain.

Lin Fan's expression became a bit more solemn as he said, "This village…has suffered quite a bit, so the parents just want to see their kids grow up healthy and happy. They don't mind if their kids miss a bit of work to play."

Tian Tian's expression also became a bit solemn. She had heard Lin Fan's account of what had happened in this place, so she knew what these villagers had gone through.

Of course, she had no way of fully understanding and she didn't intend to pry into their lives since she knew that it was impossible.

Lin Fan then added, "It's just that they're stuck in their old ways and it's hard for them to admit anything new. But at least I have that bit of prestige as the village chief."

Tian Tian revealed a smile at this and nodded in agreement.

They made their way to the inn and when they arrived, they were greeted by Duanmu Ming Yue and Duanmu Yi.

Lin Fan had gotten Duanmu Ming Yue and Duanmu Yi to help him run this inn since they didn't have anything else to do. The fields that they had before had already been taken and ruined by the bandits while Duanmu Ming Yue had been sick, so even now that she had recovered, she didn't have a source of income.

So Lin Fan had her run this newly built inn.

As soon as they arrived and saw the two greeting them, the breath had been knocked out of them. Even Tian Tian and the one female mercenary couldn't help staring in a daze at the beautiful scene in front of them.

Now that Duanmu Ming Yue had recovered, her perfect beauty was in full view.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Duanmu Ming Yue was the most beautiful woman that he had ever seen, she was in a completely different class even compared to beauties like the girls in his harem.

Then when the kimono that she was wearing was added in, it created a beautiful scene that could even start wars and collapse nations. It was like she was the sun in this dreary universe and there was no light in this world other than her. That was just how beautiful she was.

After coming back from their daze, Tian Tian's group couldn't help lowering their heads to greet Duanmu Ming Yue as well.

She just revealed a smile that stole their souls again.

After the greeting was over, Duanmu Ming Yue brought them to a private dining room and showed them the menu.

As soon as they saw the menu, Tian Tian's group couldn't help being shocked by the prices.

It wasn't that it was too expensive, it was that it was too cheap.

Just based on the decorations of this room and the inn itself, it was clear that this was a place that was aiming to be a high end establishment. So there was no doubt that the food wouldn't be lacking.

But the prices that were set for these meals…It was much cheaper compared to the prices of high end meals in Sunset City.

Even if it was cheaper since this was an inn in a remote town like this, it still shouldn't be this cheap.

Naturally they couldn't help being surprised by this and even started feeling a bit of doubt.

So they first ordered a few dishes just to see what kind of meal they would be served.

When the food came, they were once again shocked because of the delicious smell that filled the air. They carefully took a few bites and the delicious flavours filled their mouths.

It was something that they had never tasted before, it was the most delicious food that they had eaten in their entire life.

After taking the first few bites, they started fighting over the dishes that they had ordered.

Of course, none of them dared to take Tian Tian's food since they knew better than to seek death.

Tian Tian had also been surprised by the taste of the food, but she noticed something different.

All of these dishes that they ordered added up together only cost them a total of around a single gold coin, but there was something on the menu that was worth one gold coin just by itself. It was the special set meals at the bottom of the menu.

Since it was at the bottom, most people would usually ignore it since they thought that it was just one of the extra items that were added to the menu, but those with sharp eyes would notice that something was off. After all, the cheapest special set meal cost at least two gold coins, double of an entire table of food.

There must be something special about this special set meal for it to cost this much…

So in the end, Tian Tian couldn't help her curiosity as she ordered one of these set meals.

Lin Fan was surprised that she would order one, but he was also pleasantly surprised because he had wanted someone to order one. He wanted to see what they thought about it before they released it to the public.

The one that Tian Tian chose was the cheapest one, the Special Set A.

Duanmu Ming Yue went into the back and quickly came back with the Special Set A. However, the moment that Tian Tian saw it, she couldn't help being surprised by it since it was something that she had never seen before.

It was a set meal, but all the food items on it were things that she had never seen before.

In the center, there was a strange yellow mound right in the center with a dash of red and a small flag sticking out of it which seemed to be the entree of this meal. Then beside it was a brown patty of meat that had a smooth brown sauce drizzled over it. There was also a smaller yellow mound with bits of orange and green in it, two long golden strips that had red tails attached to it, a few slender yellow strips that seemed like they were fried, as well as a cup that had something yellow and brown in it that was topped with something white and fluffy.

She didn't know what any of these things were, but she couldn't help being attracted by the mix of colours in front of her.

She turned to Lin Fan and asked, "What is this?"

Lin Fan just said with a smile, "Well, give it a try and see for yourself."

Tian Tian raised a brow, but she still turned back to the set meal in front of her.

The first thing that she tried was the large yellow mound right in the center of her plate. She used her chopsticks to cut into the large yellow mound and she revealed the red rice hidden underneath.

When she saw this, she couldn't help saying, "Ah, it's egg fried rice!"

Lin Fan shook his head with a smile and said, "Not exactly." But he didn't say anything beyond that as he let Tian Tian enjoy herself.

This was different from any egg fried rice that she had eaten before. Instead of the egg being cooked and cut up into pieces in the rice, the omelette covering the rice was only half cooked. This feeling of somewhat raw egg on rice fits perfectly as the slightly cooked egg was perfectly wrapped around the grains of rice at the top of the mound.

She then turned her attention to the other items on the dish.

The first one that she tasted was the brown meat patty.

She could tell that this meat patty was made of beef, but there were also some vegetables that were mixed into the meat patty itself that made it even juicier. Then there was that sauce on the patty, it was thick and smooth at the same time, perfectly going with the juiciness of the meat patty.

The smaller yellow mound was a salad that was made with potatoes and other vegetables, but there was a strange sauce that it was covered in that she had never tasted before.

As for the yellow and brown thing that was in the cup, she could tell that this was dessert since she could smell the sweetness coming from it. So she left that yellow and brown thing for last as she turned her attention to the long yellow things.

She decided to try the long golden thing that had a red tail first since that was the one that she had been most curious about.

She picked it up and brought it to her mouth, biting into it from the side that didn't have the red tail. As soon as she bit into it, the first thing that she felt was a strong elasticity which gave it a bit of a bite, but then there was the soft meat that appeared underneath.

This was a meat that she didn't recognize on taste alone, so she couldn't help looking down at it.

Seeing the red and white meat that was hidden inside the golden wrapping, she couldn't help being confused since she had never seen anything like it before. But after thinking about it, she couldn't help revealing a shocked look since she had thought of a possibility for what this was.

She had heard about this kind of meat before, but it was something that was far away from where they were, so she had never eaten it before.

"Shrimp!"
