Watching Bai Zhenzhen, who clearly wanted to help them but pretended to be indifferent, Lin Yao fell silent, unsure of how to handle the situation.
Zhang Feng, noticing her lack of response, assumed she was being considerate of him and quickly stated, "Bai Sister, I can't take advantage of this."
"Then you can cook for me to offset the rent. That should be acceptable, right?" Bai Zhenzhen replied.
"But—"
"No buts. If I were to hire a chef outside, it would cost several thousand star coins a month. In the end, I'm not losing out."
Zhang Feng was somewhat persuaded by Bai Zhenzhen's argument and hesitated as he glanced at Lin Yao.
Seeing Zhang Feng relent, Bai Zhenzhen turned to Lin Yao and said, "You were so decisive during the practical exam; why are you hesitating now? It's just a place to stay."
Realizing she was about to launch into a lengthy explanation, Lin Yao quickly interjected, "Staying at your place is fine, but I will pay rent!"
"That's up to you!"
That evening, after disembarking from the starship, Lin Yao looked at the bustling starship docking station filled with people coming and going. She was momentarily stunned by the vibrant atmosphere.
It had been so long since she had seen such a lively and bustling place.
As she took the shuttle back to the surface from the docking station, Lin Yao felt grateful for accepting Bai Zhenzhen's invitation. Given her current understanding of the Yunmeng Star System, finding a place to live would likely be quite challenging.
Following Bai Zhenzhen to her house, Lin Yao and Zhang Feng were somewhat taken aback.
This was no small house; it was clearly a large villa with its own garden!
Considering the prices on Yunmeng Star, could she really afford the rent for such a villa with her (and his culinary skills)?
Having made their decision, neither of them brought up any objections at that moment and simply followed Bai Zhenzhen inside.
As they entered, Bai Zhenzhen began introducing them to the layout of the villa: "The villa has four floors—three above ground and one basement. The basement contains various training rooms and laboratories. The first floor has a living room and various functional rooms. The second and third floors are all bedrooms. My master bedroom is on the third floor; Captain, you can stay with me on that floor. Zhang Feng, as a man, you'll have to make do with the second floor!"
Zhang Feng quickly waved his hands and smiled wryly. "With such a house, how could I feel wronged? I'm just worried my cooking skills won't do justice to this place."
Rent is high on Yunmeng Star; people are cheap? Hiring someone who can cook might not be too expensive, but hiring someone skilled in culinary arts has no upper limit. So don’t always act like you're at a disadvantage; just relax and live here!
Zhang Feng could only nod in agreement.
Lin Yao remembered that the original owner’s account had very little money left and felt anxious about affording such high rent. "How much should I pay you for rent?"
"I’ve never rented before either; just give what you think is fair!" Bai Zhenzhen waved her hand dismissively.
Lin Yao nodded and planned to check market prices when she had some free time.
The next morning, as usual, Lin Yao opened the system panel to check for daily updates on her tasks.

Her personal information was ordinary, but the task updates surprised her a bit. Tasks One and Two had been updated since she finished her exam and boarded the starship. However, at that time, Task Three was still about finding a fourth teammate. She only planned to earn money yesterday, yet today it had already been updated. Could it be that this system's tasks could adapt to the host's thoughts at any time? Was this considered intelligence?
In the morning, Lin Yao enjoyed a carefully prepared breakfast by Zhang Feng alongside Bai Zhenzhen.
"What’s the market price for pure potions?" Bai Zhenzhen widened her eyes at her. "When did pure potions become available on the market? They usually can only be auctioned!"
"What’s the usual auction price?"
"One or two hundred million, I guess."
Lin Yao nodded, noticing that although Bai Zhenzhen didn’t ask further, her eyes were filled with curiosity. She explained, "I exchanged a Pure Source Fruit with the examiner and plan to refine it into a pure potion to sell!"
"But isn’t that an unripe Pure Source Fruit? Can it really be refined into a pure potion?"
"I used a little method to enhance its effects; refining a pure potion should be fine."
In fact, she still had three ripe Pure Source Fruits in her system space, but without a clear path to use them, she had no choice but to ask the examiner for one.
"I didn’t know you had this skill! Pure potions are high-level potions; can you really refine them yourself?"
"I can."
She had learned potion-making from several teachers over time, piecing together knowledge bit by bit. It might not be very systematic, but her success rate was quite good. Although her ability level was slightly lacking now, with prior experience backing her up, it should be no problem.
Seeing her confidence, Bai Zhenzhen looked shocked. "Oh my gosh! How long have you been studying potion-making?"
"I haven’t kept track precisely; I’ve learned bits and pieces here and there."
Learning just a few things allows one to brew advanced potions. I started learning from a young age, and now I can only brew basic potions. Even so, my potion teacher praised me as a genius; I think you are the true genius among geniuses!
Our situations are different. Back then, they faced a shortage of various herbs and exotic plants, and there was no room for trial and error. They could only select a group of children with abilities in Wood, Water, Healing, and Mentalism to directly teach them how to brew the simplest potions. Those who could learn would be chosen as potion apprentices; those who couldn’t would be sent back, either to support roles or to the battlefield. Under that kind of pressure, everyone worked desperately to learn.
She was lucky; she learned in just two or three days and was selected as a potion apprentice afterward. Hearing Lin Yao say this, Bai Zhenzhen didn’t ask further but said, “I have a small potion lab here. I planned to have it renovated in advance for when we take the entrance exam for the Ability Academy. You can use it to brew your purification potions.”
“Thank you!”
“You’re welcome. I’m planning to open an online store before school starts, specifically to sell the potions I make myself. If you’d like, you can also brew some common potions to sell in my store; I won’t charge you any consignment fees!”
Seeing her eyes light up at the mention of her online store, Lin Yao couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
In the morning, Lin Yao worked hard to gather all the auxiliary herbs she needed and began brewing potions. Brewing advanced potions wasn’t difficult for her; it just took a bit longer. By evening, when she finished, Lin Yao had produced three purification potions.
“How do we send the potions back for auction?”
“It’s simple! Just take your potion master qualification certificate and go to the auction house’s consignment area. They have a special testing room there that will evaluate the effects of your potions. If you pass, they’ll give you a receipt; all you need to do is wait for the auction to finish and collect your payment.”
The process seemed straightforward, but Lin Yao caught on to the most critical point: potion master qualification certificate?
“Right.” Bai Zhenzhen looked surprised when she saw Lin Yao’s confused expression. “You don’t mean you haven’t even taken the exam for your potion master qualification certificate?”
Lin Yao was puzzled. “Can’t I sell potions without a potion master qualification certificate?”
“The regulations for potion management state that selling potions without a potion master qualification certificate is illegal. If you try to consign them, even the consignment place will be implicated.”
Lin Yao felt a wave of darkness wash over her as she processed this information.
