After lunch, Jack got into the car, but found that Vivian, who was sitting on the other side, was staring at him with sharp eyes. He couldn't help but smiled and asked: "Why are you looking at me?"
"I haven't heard you say you can cook before?"
Jack smiled and said, "We are just nominal husband and wife...there is no need to talk about it."
Vivian looked at him with a slightly strange look. Jack's tone was completely different from before.
Jack's emotions had gone through a lot before, from the initial excitement and anticipation of getting married to the frustration and rage at the end, but today he gave people a sense of calmness, and even the conversation at this moment gave people a sense of equality.
You've treated me like this, what else do you want from me?
Is it my own illusion?
Vivian pondered inwardly, but only responded lightly, retracting his gaze: "I am just a little curious. After all, it is not possible for everyone to whet grandma's appetite and get a bunch of old men and women to praise her in unison."
When Vivian mentioned this, Jack couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Hehe, what a big harvest!
After she served the mushroom dish to the table, Madam Grace gave it extremely high praise, which naturally attracted the attention of the elderly people at the table. So they all picked up their chopsticks to taste it, and then they all praised it. Then, the dish, which was not a small portion, was quickly gone.
Old Madam Grace, who had a poor appetite, ate two bowls of rice, which was a rare occurrence for her. This surprised many people. After all, Old Madam Grace's anorexia was no secret.
Jack was shocked. There were some who were shocked, including Mrs. Shen, some elderly people at a table who tasted the dishes, some who were watching the show at other tables, some who heard about the incident after the meal, and of course Vivian - she also tasted the mushroom dish.
"Shock value +5, from Vivian."
When Jack received this message, he felt a little amused. It seemed that his nominal wife was really calm. The shock value was only +5. It seemed that she really treated him as a guest, without love or hate.
Only by not involving your own emotions can you be so calm about other people's affairs. As for asking yourself, perhaps it is just pure curiosity.
Treat each other with respect, this phrase is so appropriate...
Silence returned to the car, and Jack began to check the system screen. Anyway, no one could see it except Jack himself.
"System Name: All-Professional Master System
Occupational level: 1. Chef - Master
Shock value: 1046
Tip: The minimum lottery requirements have been met. Do you want to spend 1000 shock points in exchange for a chance to draw a lottery? "
Jack's eyes lit up. It seemed that he had performed this dish well and actually received thousands of shocking points. But what did this minimum lottery mean?
Just as this thought came into Jack's mind, the cold, mechanical female voice sounded in his mind again.
"The host can use shock value to redeem a chance to win a prize. Given the host's current overall strength, the chance to win a prize is divided into three levels, namely bronze prize tickets, silver prize tickets and gold prize tickets. The corresponding shock value for redeeming a prize ticket is 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000 respectively. The higher the level of the prize, the higher the level of the prize. If it is an item, the quality is higher, the effect is better, and the quantity is greater. If it is a profession, the professional level will be higher."
Jack understood it all at once. Wasn't it the same in all the pay-to-win games he had experienced in his previous life? Could the prize pool for the game currency draw be the same as the prize pool for the RMB draw?
Large investment, large output; small investment, small output!
What kind of prizes can be drawn for bronze, silver and gold levels? And system, when you said "in view of the host's current comprehensive strength", it seems that this sentence has a subtext?
However, Jack's question did not receive a systematic response. The cold, mechanical female voice said that and then fell silent.
It's so inhumane.
Jack muttered to himself, but still didn't start the lottery.
It’s okay if you draw a profession, but what if you draw something?
Appeared out of thin air in your hands?
Vivian was still sitting next to him. Just thinking about it, the situation was weird and scary enough. There was no way to explain it, right?
Jack and Vivian returned home in silence. They got out of the car and walked towards the villa.
Vivian walked towards the sofa, while Jack prepared to go back to the house.
Just as Jack was walking up the stairs, Vivian suddenly turned sideways and called out, "Jack..."
Jack retracted his steps towards the stairs, turned around and looked at Vivian.
Vivian said in a cold voice: "The Du family is a well-known and well-known family in Tiannan Province, and Mr. Patrick is also highly respected. No matter what you do, please consider everyone's face. Even if you want to pick up girls, please do it quietly, otherwise it will make everyone embarrassed. If things get out of control, you, me, the Du family, and Mr. Patrick will all be embarrassed."
Jack naturally understood what Vivian meant. This marriage was not originally her own will, but was formed as a result of an exchange of interests. If he really had an affair outside and ruined his reputation, Vivian would naturally dissolve the marriage. In this case, no one would be proud.
Jack smiled slightly and did not argue: "Okay!"
Vivian stared at Jack and always felt a little weird, because the Jack in front of her was completely different from the Jack she knew and had come into contact with, as if... he was a different person.
"Oh, by the way, I might go out and do something recently..."
Vivian was slightly stunned: "Work?"
Jack smiled and said, "Maybe I can do something myself, open a store or something. It's just a preliminary idea, but I haven't thought it through yet."
Vivian looked a little surprised and said straightforwardly: "Open a shop? If it's a restaurant, I think you will be very popular with your cooking skills. If you need financial support, please tell me."
Jack laughed: "I'll think it over first. If I really need support, I'll ask for it."
"good!"
Vivian didn't waste any words. She didn't care what Jack did, whether it was opening a restaurant or going to work, she didn't care as long as he didn't make trouble or cause any trouble.
Vivian is quite satisfied with this nominal husband-wife relationship. It is like a shield that can help her reduce a lot of troubles and harassment from the family. She can concentrate on her own things.
She didn't mind keeping the marriage going like this, and she even felt willing to do so.
Jack returned to his room, closed the door, and then opened the light curtain.
"Exchange for bronze raffle tickets and enter the draw!"
The light screen popped up, and the lottery machine that looked like a slot machine reappeared, and then started to turn...
