then repeated, [I am not defective!] Su Jiyai’s eyes gleamed with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm, sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way you’re freaking out makes me think I might be right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why don’t you just admit it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got a faulty system, didn’t I?” The system remained silent for a few more moments before speaking again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this system is not defective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there were some unexpected issues during the installation process.] Su Jiyai raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unexpected issues?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go on.” [This system was meant to be a multiplier system, as you were told.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was designed to multiply resources, powers, and even time under certain conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, during the activation process, there was…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a malfunction.] Su Jiyai crossed her arms, intrigued now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A malfunction?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what, the system I got ended up being part multiplier and part rental building system?” […Yes.] The system sounded defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The core functionality of multiplying was damaged during the installation process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, the rental building functions were accidentally added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That does not mean this system is useless!] Su Jiyai couldn’t help but smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, I really did get a defective piece.” [No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>different,] the system stammered, still trying to save face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The rental building functions have their own benefits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can still expand your base, create more housing, and help people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s just as important!] “True,” Su Jiyai nodded, her amusement growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you still haven’t explained why you can’t multiply some things especially fresh or something that has life.” The system hesitated again, almost like it was thinking hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it’s not that I can’t multiply living things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>well, living things are complicated.] Su Jiyai raised an eyebrow, waiting for a better explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You see, when something is alive, it has more…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>variables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like its growth, development, and even emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multiplying those factors can cause unpredictable results.] Su Jiyai tapped her fingers on the desk, thinking for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, so you’re saying living things are complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then why can you multiply canned food?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fresh once too, right?” The system paused before responding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>canned food is no longer considered alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once food is processed and sealed in cans, it loses the living properties that make multiplying it difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It becomes a stable item, like any other resource—no growth, no change, just preserved matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why I can multiply it without any issues.] Su Jiyai leaned back in her chair, narrowing her eyes thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, basically, you can handle anything that’s been processed or preserved, but not something like fresh vegetables because they’re still too…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>unpredictable?” [Exactly, Host!] the system replied, sounding a bit too relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fresh produce still has a life force, even if it’s been picked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s part of nature, growing and changing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why multiplying it could lead to unstable results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Canned food, on the other hand, is already processed, so it’s easier to control.] Su Jiyai sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I guess that makes sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’d think multiplying something like fresh food would be more useful.” [It’s not impossible, Host,] the system added quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[There are some advanced systems that can handle living things, but they require much higher-level technology and energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, you’ll have to rely on preserving your food if you want to multiply it.] Su Jiyai nodded slowly, understanding but still feeling a bit disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I suppose that’s fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least I’ve got these vegetables for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll just have to make the most of them.” She glanced at the fresh vegetables on her desk again, realizing just how valuable they really were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a world where most people hadn’t seen fresh produce in years, these were a rare treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to tease the system, Su Jiyai said with a disappointed look, “Still the conclusion is I got a defective piece.” [That’s why the rental building system was added!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make up for the loss of multiplying living things!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a really good feature, I promise!] Su Jiyai shook her head, still finding it funny how the system was trying so hard to defend itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I guess I can’t complain too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rental building system has been useful.” [Yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the spirit, Host!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See, this system may not be exactly what you expected, but it’s still powerful!] Su Jiyai smiled a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system was right about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it wasn’t perfect, it had helped her a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai chuckled again and glanced at the vegetables still sitting on her desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, let’s get back to the real problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How am I supposed to cook these without turning them into charcoal?” [Host, I can assist you with cooking tutorials if needed!] The system piped up, eager to be helpful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the system’s help, Su Jiyai carefully chopped up the vegetables, preparing them for a simple but flavorful stir-fry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system provided tips along the way, advising her on the right heat and how long to cook each ingredient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, things were going well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the smell of garlic and ginger sizzling in the pan filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fresh vegetables, once dull and lifeless on her desk, were now vibrant and glistening with oil and spices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai added a dash of soy sauce and some herbs, and before long, the food was ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad,” Su Jiyai said with a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly plated the food, dividing it into four portions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two of the plates were carefully placed into her storage ring for herself and Qin Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two, she sat on the conference table in the middle of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She calls Yuan Xin and asks him to bring Huo Ning along with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once in the conference room, they glance at the food on table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>is that?” Yuan Xin asked, his eyes wide with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Smells amazing!” Huo Ning added, practically floating over to the table, his stomach already rumbling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai grinned, feeling a little proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I made some stir-fry with the fresh vegetables Huo Ning gave me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sit down and try it.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1022,"2026-06-06T06:36:35.983Z",1,"novelbin.me","6be966b2a8d744be330c1a996361922115f53cdbc043a8d13a4227ea48482f24","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-273","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-271",661,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-cover.jpg"]
