"Yaoyao isn't tired!"
"I'll go cook in a bit. Why don't you stay and have dinner with us, Yao Yao?"
"Is big brother going to cook again?"
Yao Yao was initially delighted, then her expression became very hesitant, and finally she shook her head.
"Yaoyao needs to go back for dinner, otherwise Master will worry if it gets too late."
The little girl is so sensible.
After finishing his juice, Shen He stood up and said, "Yao Yao, let me take you home."
"Yaoyao can go back by herself!"
"It's alright, I was just thinking of going to see Senior Sister Gan Yu."
"Oh! Sister Shenhe, let's go then!"
Shen He held Yao Yao's hand and walked out of the store. From behind, she looked like a young mother with her daughter, which was quite heartwarming.
"Miss Shen He, come back soon, we're waiting for you to have dinner."
"it is good."
After resting for a while, Xia Zhi massaged Zhu Zi again. Because of the hidden effect of [Shadow Hand] (two-handed skill effect +100%), the girl blushed even more than before.
After the massage, Xia Zhi washed her hands and prepared to cook.
After a while, Zhu Zi came to the stove to help start the fire. Xia Zhi took out the [Eternal Spirit Blade] and began to process the ingredients. Suddenly, he heard the girl's clear and melodious laughter.
"Zhu Zi, what are you laughing at?"
"Hehe, just thinking about eating the boss's cooking again later makes me so happy!"
"I'll just cook this today. The remaining ingredients will be gone after this dinner. We'll go to Wanmintang again tomorrow."
"Ugh……"
Xia Zhi heard Zhu Zi sigh and shook his head with a smile.
After the dishes were prepared, Shen He returned, and the three of them began to eat.
"Have you seen Miss Gan Yu?"
"I saw her. My senior colleague was still working overtime. There were a lot of documents piled up on her desk, and many things were waiting for her to handle."
"So busy, huh?"
"My senior sister seems to be doing quite well."
"That's good."
After dinner and washing the dishes, the three of them went for a walk together.
Shen He is now gradually getting used to this busy daytime and leisurely nighttime lifestyle.
We strolled around until late at night. Although the festival of the moon had passed and there were no fireworks to watch at the pier, we still felt we had a great time.
Back at the shop, Xia Zhi came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
Two girls were standing guard at the bathroom door, looking at each other as if they were confronting each other, but there was no tension between them.
"Boss, are you done washing?"
"Um, what's wrong with you guys?"
"It's nothing, boss, you should go and get some rest."
"……it is good."
Xia Zhi silently went upstairs.
Zhu Zi and Shen He continued their conversation only after hearing the door close upstairs.
"I'll wash the boss's clothes tonight."
"I come."
"You were the one who washed it yesterday."
“I promised my master that I would take care of him.”
"Then...one for each person."
"it is good."
In the room on the second floor, Xia Zhi closed the door, lit incense, and took out the two treasure chests he had obtained from Xingqiu and Chongyun during the day.
First, choose to open the golden treasure chest.
A small key appeared before his eyes.
[Multi-purpose key]
Quality: gold
Type: Assistive devices.
Feature: Door opening.
Effect: Use this item to open any door.
Hidden effect: Luck +5%.
Xia Zhi looked at it and inexplicably felt that the road ahead was going astray.
First came the [Helper of Concealment], then the [Hand of Shadows], and now the [Master Key]. Aren't these all items suitable for thieves?
What's the point of opening the door...?
Xia Zhi was a bit conflicted. He wanted to try again, but the hidden effect of this key was quite tempting, since it could increase the luck attribute.
He had spent so much time browsing the [Shop], and he hadn't seen many items that could increase luck and charm attributes. They were either temporary boosts or very expensive.
Open the door... It can open any door...
Xia Zhi looked at the description of its effects, suddenly stood up, walked to a wall in the room, picked up the key, and inserted it into the wall.
The key seemed ethereal, inserting itself effortlessly into the thick wall.
Xia Zhi gently turned the key in his hand, and a door-shaped passage opened in front of him.
Next door is Shen He's room.
Xia Zhi walked through the passage and then pulled out the key from the wall.
The passage in the wall vanished instantly, restoring its original solid appearance.
Xia Zhi glanced at Shen He's room, turned around, used the [universal key] to open the wall, and returned to his own room, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Is this what "all-purpose" means?
The "opening" feature... doesn't refer to locked doors in the conventional sense, but rather that anything blocking its way can be treated as a "door" and opened by this key.
What if it's an invisible restriction? If it can be opened, then this [universal key] would be quite useful.
Since that's the case, let's keep it for now.
Xia Zhi put away the [Universal Key] and glanced at his personal attributes on the panel. His luck value had increased by 5%.
Then the probability of him getting good items from the silver treasure chests next should be higher.
Choose to open.
A thin fishing rod appeared before his eyes.
Forest fishing rod
Quality: Silver.
Type: Assistive devices.
Features: None.
Effect: Increases fishing success rate by 50% when fishing in forest terrain.
Hidden effects: None.
An item that is not very useful.
Xia Zhi took out the Hourglass of Time and turned it upside down.
Turn back time.
The fishing rod disappeared and turned into a silver treasure chest.
Choose to open again.
A brand new pair of boots appeared before his eyes.
【Wind-Stepping Light Boots】
Quality: Silver.
Type: Clothing.
