Snack System: Starting in the Womb

Lin Zhou’s life was destined to be different from the moment he found himself in a warm, dark world. As soon as he became dimly aware, he bonded with a System that provided nothing but delicious food and snacks.

From “amniotic-fluid bubble gum” during his time in the womb, to “teething biscuits” as a toddler, and then to a snack shop’s worth of treats once he started school, the System was like a silent dessert stand that stayed with him year after year. Its virtual panel was tucked away in his consciousness, and its storage space let him secretly stock up on chips and soda. He could always pass off the snacks he redeemed as things “Mom bought” or “a classmate gave me.”

At an ordinary school with no cultivation magic or dangerous conflicts, Lin Zhou used limited-edition pudding unlocked by the System to soothe a neighbor’s crying child, made friends over chilled sour plum soup during a summer PE class, and even unexpectedly captured a girl’s heart at a club event with matcha daifuku he’d “made” himself.

Life meant daydreaming in class, riding his bike after school, and whispering during evening study sessions. All the System did was add a little sweetness to ordinary days. As the breeze of youth swept across the sports field, no one knew that this seemingly ordinary boy always had endless surprises in his pocket, along with a secret about snacks and growing up.
