This experience, this memory, even for Ding Yun, who had witnessed countless tragedies in the human world, filled her with rage after reading it.
She felt the original host's mother and daughter were wronged.
She felt the Zhenguo Duke's mansion was wronged.
However, considering the vast disparity in power, it would be difficult to quickly fulfill the original host's wish. Thus, Ding Yun did not immediately open her eyes, but continued to examine her golden finger.
[Gourmand System]
"?"
Ding Yun was bewildered as soon as she read the name. What in the world was this? Simply put, a gourmand system was a eating system, wasn't it? What need was there for a system to eat?
Did eating grant rewards or something?
Despite her confusion, the system still had to be activated.
With the system activated and bound, the specific functions of this so-called gourmand system were finally revealed.
It had only two functions in total.
One was: Eat and become stronger.
The other was: Eat and earn points.
"Eat and become stronger" meant that by simply eating, one could accumulate energy and improve oneself. If one ate enough, they could become a Herculean in minutes, capable of lifting tripods.
If the amount of food consumed reached a qualitative change.
Even invulnerability would be possible.
Although it was a bit strange for a princess to possess both Herculean strength and invulnerability, at least these were life-saving skills and should be somewhat useful.
As for the other function, "Eat and earn points," it wasn't as simple as just eating. One had to eat delicacies, different delicacies. For each delicacy consumed, points could be earned based on its deliciousness, the rarity of its ingredients, and one's own taste perception. Furthermore, points could only be obtained for the first three times each delicacy was eaten.
After three times, no more points would be gained, no matter how much more was eaten.
Points could be exchanged for skills in the skill mall.
The skill mall offered both one-time use skills and permanent skills. One-time use skills were cheaper, while permanent skills were only three or four zeros more expensive than one-time use skills.
As for the specific skills available?
There were countless options, such as skin like congealed fat, hair like a waterfall, eyes full of affection, captivating charm, and graceful steps like lotuses.
Or perhaps muscles like steel, hair like steel wire, immunity to all poisons, eyes like torches, a voice like thunder, good luck or bad luck, a crow's mouth, a magpie's mouth, or the embodiment of A Qing.
In short, there were many strange and peculiar skills.
Since the system had just been bound, the original host's previous meals were naturally not counted. Both the accumulated energy and the accumulated points were currently zero, requiring her to diligently eat.
"This system is still somewhat useful. I'm not in a hurry for points for now. The most important thing is to eat more quickly to accumulate energy. If possible, it would be best to possess Herculean strength and invulnerability before the marriage alliance.
That way, even in the worst-case scenario.
Preserving my life should still be possible.
Regardless, to fulfill the original host's request, I must at least ensure my survival first before seeking revenge."
After briefly considering her current predicament, Ding Yun immediately abandoned the idea of accumulating points for the time being. After all, she was currently in a state akin to imprisonment, and there were no delicacies to be had. Moreover, her body was still somewhat frail.
Therefore, it was clearly necessary to improve her physical condition first.
Considering this, Ding Yun slowly opened her eyes and then loudly called out, "Come here quickly, I'm hungry!"
The servants waiting outside, although they knew this princess was merely cannon fodder to be sent to the Wei Kingdom and might suffer greatly upon arrival, had not yet proceeded with the marriage alliance. If anything were to happen, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.
Therefore, even though some might have curled their lips or rolled their eyes, they still obeyed the command, brought some food that even cats would find insufficient, and sent it in for Ding Yun to eat.
In terms of the original host's appetite.
That small amount of food was indeed enough for her to eat.
After all, not to mention that she originally ate very little, in her current situation, she couldn't eat much.
However, Ding Yun needed food to accumulate energy. The food she ate was immediately digested by the system into energy, leaving absolutely no sensation.
Her teeth weren't even fully filled.
The energy accumulation was also minimal.
It wasn't even enough for the lowest level of enhancement.
Therefore, she could only shamelessly continue to demand food, scolding them, asking if they intended to starve her to death. In short, she abandoned all pretense of dignity. When they continued to withhold food, she had no choice but to grab a candelabra from the room and hold it to her neck, threatening to die if anyone approached her.
And using this opportunity, she entered the kitchen.
She drove everyone out.
Then she began a near-mad binge eating spree.
The servants who were threatened by her were also terrified and quickly reported the matter upwards. Without orders from above, they dared not take any forceful measures.
However, for the subordinates to report to the superiors and for the matter to reach a decision-making level before transmitting orders downwards, it would naturally take time. This period was enough for Ding Yun to eat a bit more.
In order to seize the opportunity to eat more,
She didn't even bother to chew some of the food, but simply swallowed it. After she had eaten all the cooked food available in the kitchen, she even started to experimentally eat lard and beef tallow, and raw rice. Upon discovering that these things could be directly converted into energy without passing through her digestive system and did not harm her body, her eating became even more frenzied.
Finally, her lips even tore slightly.
Her throat became painfully sore.
But fortunately, by this time, the energy had accumulated sufficiently. Ding Yun immediately chose to use the accumulated energy to improve her physical condition. Of course, while improving, her mouth did not stop, and she continued to stuff food into it, appearing like a starving ghost to outsiders.
At the same time, her physical condition was rapidly improving with the help of the energy converted from the food. The wounds on her lips and the pain and tearing in her throat were also quickly healing. Both her bones, muscle density, and strength were increasing.
Meanwhile, those guards and maids gathered outside the kitchen, afraid to enter,
but able to see the situation inside through the window, were mostly on the verge of madness. Their legs were trembling, or they had completely broken down.
"Ah... Has the princess gone mad?"
"It's over, it's over. The princess must be possessed by some demon or ghost. Eating so much food, yet her stomach hasn't gotten any bigger, and she's still eating raw food. It's over, if the princess becomes like this, we will all be finished!"
"Ah! A monster..."
"How could this happen? How could this happen?"
"Are you all crazy? Why aren't you quickly going in to stop her from eating? What if she eats herself to death?"
"Why don't you go in yourself..."
"She's clearly no longer human, no longer human. How can we stop her? Who dares to stop her, ah..."
...
