The next morning, Xia Zhi woke up from his dream, stretched comfortably, opened his inventory, and took out a golden treasure chest.
The plan for a day is in the morning!
Let's get something good!
Xia Zhi chose to open it.
A circular badge appeared before his eyes.
Transformation Badge
Quality: Gold.
Type: Energy-recharging item.
Characteristic: Transformation.
Effect: Each use requires the infusion of a large amount of the same elemental power. Once fully charged, the item will grant the user a time-limited random transformation ability of that element, depending on the type of element being charged.
Hidden effect: Elemental power recovery speed +10%.
This is a new type of item – a charging item.
Xia Zhi examined the exquisite badge in his hand for a while, and decided to keep it.
Let's try it out and see how it goes.
Xia Zhi currently possesses three types of elemental power that can be converted and used in large quantities.
One is the power of the light element, another is the power of the space element, and the third is the power of the rock element.
The first two come from the item [Radiant Wings], and the third comes from the skill [Midas Touch].
Xia Zhi thought for a moment and began to continuously infuse the badge with the power of light elements.
The charging speed, however, seems rather slow.
It wasn't until he had used up all his mana that about one-tenth of the badge lit up.
It can really eat! But it's a good thing that it can eat, because it means its transformation ability will be stronger and cooler later on.
Xia Zhi played with the badge for a moment, put it into her inventory, and got up to start working on her welfare.
Chapter 174 The Special Cuisine of Bliss
Today is Wednesday.
The weather outside turned gloomy again, looking like it was about to rain heavily.
After lunch, Xia Zhi sat at the table, holding a carving knife and a piece of jade, carefully carving it.
Diona watched from the side, her face filled with amazement.
"Boss, how did you do that?"
"Nothing special, just practice makes perfect." (Liyue language version)
"what?"
Diona was stunned. Her Liyue language wasn't very good, and she couldn't understand such complex sentences at all.
Zhu Zi seized the opportunity to show off.
"What the boss meant by that old Liyue saying is that there's no other reason than that we've done it enough times."
"Oh! I see! Senior Zhu is amazing!"
"No la."
"Senior Zhu Zi speaks Liyue language so well, how did you learn it?"
“I learned it from the people at the docks.”
"I learned it from the customers in the bar! But I can only speak, I can't read or write..."
"It also depends on the environment. You'll naturally learn it once you stay in Liyue longer. If you want to learn it faster, you can read more books."
"I love reading!"
"I love reading too! We bought a lot of novels for our store before, all the books on those tables are like that, and I've read them all. Would you like me to recommend some to you?"
"Okay!"
"For example, this book..."
The two girls huddled together and began discussing the novel.
"Zhu Zi".
"what?"
"Your medicine for today is still..."
"I'll go right away!"
Zhu Zi quickly got up and pulled Qi Qi into the kitchen.
Xia Zhi smiled with his head down and continued carving.
A moment later, an adorable white cat appeared in his hands.
"It's done, Diona, here you go."
"thank you boss!"
"You're welcome... By the way, since we're in a different place all of a sudden, have you been sleeping well these past two nights, Diona?"
"pretty good!"
"Ah."
After a while, Zhu Zi came out of the kitchen, her tone filled with relief: "The medicine... is finally finished..."
"Although your old health problems have been cured now, if you don't pay attention to your rest and diet in the future, you may relapse."
"Boss! I'll definitely pay attention!"
"Hmm... It looks like it's going to rain heavily again tonight. If you can't sleep or are afraid of having nightmares, there's incense in that little cabinet in the back room. You can use it; it's very good for calming the nerves."
"it is good!"
The girls all nodded, indicating that they understood.
Xia Zhi glanced at Shen He, noticing that her expression remained unchanged.
Her personality is really... He can take good care of her in daily life, but she is unwilling to talk about these secret thoughts, and he doesn't know how to comfort her.
Hopefully, this will help her avoid nightmares tonight.
Xia Zhi stood up, made an excuse to put the carving knife back upstairs, and went back to his room alone.
He closed the door, took out the [Transformation Badge], and continued to infuse it with light elemental power.
Once all the mana was used up, about one-tenth of the badge was lit up again.
The charging progress is really slow.
The main reason is that his current mana cap is not high enough.
Xia Zhi glanced at his current available points: 873 points.
He only needs 127 more points to buy the [Second Meditation Method] which costs 1000 points.
He can now earn a stable income of 70 to 80 points per day, which takes about two days.
Xia Zhi put away the Transformation Badge, refined a piece of Pleasure Incense, then took out the small bag containing Bliss Rice, grabbed a small handful from the bag, wrapped it simply in a piece of paper, and brought it downstairs.
"Zhu Zi, come help me start the fire."
"Okay! Boss, what kind of dessert do you want today?"
"Puffed rice".
Rice pop is a very simple snack.
Xia Zhi still remembers the snack brand she used to buy at the supermarket often – “Mi Laotou”, where you could buy a big bag for a very cheap price.
Ordinary rice is deep-fried until it bursts open, coated with syrup, and served on a plate, filling it to the brim.
"It smells so good!"
"Go and get me two food boxes. Leave some for Miss Gan Yu and Grandma Ping... Alright, take the rest out for everyone to eat."
"Ok!"
After Zhu Zi took the plate of puffed rice out, Xia Zhi took out the small packet of "Paradise Rice" and poured a dozen or so grains into the hot oil in the pan.
Ordinary rice pops open in just a few seconds, but this "Paradise Rice" took more than a minute to become fluffy and large, slowly floating up from the bottom of the pot like popcorn.
A unique fragrance wafted through the air.
Xia Zhi scooped these special rice puffs out of the pot, let them cool for a moment, and then carefully picked up a grain with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
Crispy! Fragrant! Sweet! These are the initial sensations, followed by an indescribable deliciousness...
