After finishing his instructions, Orlanal's wrist-mounted optical computer suddenly vibrated.
He lowered his head to glance at it; the message indicated Morian: Organization meeting assembly.
Orlanal's expression remained unchanged as he closed the optical computer screen. "I have something to attend to shortly. If you have research projects this afternoon, you can rest here for a while. The key is in the second drawer beneath the table. You can use it freely during your rest times from now on."
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Lu Mingming did not dare to disturb him. After a few seconds of deliberation in place, she finally chose to take the key and put it in her bag.
It wasn't that she was concerned about having a place to rest; most of the time, she finished her half-day's work and didn't worry about needing a very good lounge.
Finally, someone appreciated and encouraged her cooking, giving Lu Mingming a rare sense of pride.
Lu Mingming now really wanted to go to a nearby fully automated supermarket to buy some ingredients and unleash all the whimsical ideas in her mind.
Regardless of whether Orlanal was merely being polite or not, she had genuinely gained unprecedented confidence from this unexpected encounter.

The very first second she returned to her bedroom, Lu Mingming changed into her pajamas and turned on her optical computer, curling up on the headboard to study it seriously. Anyone watching would have thought she was conducting a new, major classified research project.
As soon as Hongyu opened his eyes, he spotted Lu Mingming's posture. He rubbed his eyes and curiously crawled to her side, leaning in to stare at the optical computer screen – a large amount of white paper with black text, accompanied by several mouth-watering holographic images, all introducing dishes from a tourist destination planet.
Beside Lu Mingming was a white notebook, densely filled with the materials and procedures needed to make this dish, indicating she was studying with a purely inquisitive attitude.
Hongyu watched Lu Mingming's side profile, her face illuminated by the screen's glow, then shifted his gaze to the teaching methods on the screen. He suspected he might have been disoriented from sleeping and couldn't figure it out.
He remembered giving her a suggestion; why was she interested in cooking again?
Hongyu swallowed his thoughts and sat beside her, squeezing close to observe as Lu Mingming's culinary simulator slightly merged her ideas with the dishes.
One minute later, a new model popped onto the optical computer screen.
This was the simplest soup Lu Mingming planned to make tomorrow.
A fresh, clean aroma echoed with sweetness, and crisp cabbage leaves were dotted within, causing no greasiness at all.
"If possible, adding meat would be even better..."

After eating all this, followed by a bowl of tender and juicy cabbage soup to soothe a restless stomach, the meal left her stomach bulging and filled with endless satisfaction.
"How was it?"
Lu Mingming asked expectantly.
"Frankly, it was quite beyond my expectations."
Orlanal gestured to the dishes on the table.
"Everything you've made is excellent."

This wasn't flattery, nor was it obeying the indoctrination of another person in his mind. It was a genuine compliment from tasting the food, and it significantly changed his impression of Lu Mingming.
"I'll give you an additional allowance of 3,000 star coins daily. It's not easy for you to buy these rare ingredients with your salary."
As soon as he finished speaking, Orlanal immediately transferred a three-month sum to Lu Mingming.
The "rare ingredients" he mentioned were actually things that were almost ignored on the star network. This entire meal cost less than 100 star coins.
Lu Mingming quickly refused, wanting to return the remaining 2,900 star coins.
Orlanal paid no heed, tidied up the bowls and chopsticks as usual, and prepared to leave again.
"Thank you for meeting me. I hope to see you again tomorrow."
