I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 154

Price: 5 points.

Both items are available for purchase in the [Shop]. The total price of 25 points isn't too expensive for Xia Zhi right now, but there's no need to buy them.

Let's leave these two valuable opportunities to ask questions to other people who are destined to receive them.

Xia Zhi shut down the system panel and continued operating the business.

In the afternoon, when Yao Yao came over, Qi Qi came with her.

The shop suddenly became much cooler.

"Yaoyao, I just made egg tarts and put them in the kitchen cupboard. Go get them and eat them while they're hot."

"it is good!"

"Miss Qiqi, let me light some incense for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Xia."

Xia Zhi took the incense burner, put in half a piece of "Perfect Calming Incense," lit it, and a strange fragrance wafted out.

Qi Qi watched him place the incense burner in front of her and asked softly, "Mr. Xia, I heard from Yao Yao that she's working part-time at your shop now?"

"Yes, Yao Yao will come over to help this afternoon."

Is the store busy?

"Yes, we've been very busy, especially now that the store has added delivery service. It's been even busier these past few days. I'm even thinking about whether to hire another waiter."

Qiqi hesitated slightly for a moment, then whispered, "Mr. Xia, I can help too."

"Oh?"

"I'd like to work part-time at the store like Yao Yao, is that okay?"

"Of course, I'm glad Miss Qiqi is willing to help, but Miss Qiqi must be very busy in Bubulu, right? She still has to go up the mountain to gather herbs."

"I'll go gather herbs tonight, and I can come over during the day."

"Won't this be tiring?"

"Zombies don't get tired."

Qi Qi's tone was very serious. She looked at him, her eyes showing a hint of pity, as if she was afraid he would reject her.

Who could bear to refuse that?

Xia Zhi nodded and smiled, "Then welcome Miss Qiqi to our Summer Shop."

A look of relief flashed in Qi Qi's eyes, and she nodded earnestly: "Yes, Mr. Xia, I will do my best to help."

So, when the store opened in the afternoon, there was another young female server with a blank expression but a very serious work attitude.

Xia Zhi "watched" Qi Qi's busy figure and could roughly guess what she was thinking.

She probably felt guilty for always taking things from him, so she wanted to give back.

It's a very simple idea.

Another reason might be that she was too lonely in Bubulu.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but picture Qi Qi sitting alone under a tree, quietly watching the little sparrows.

He lowered his head and thought of the physician Bai Shu from Bubulu again.

Bai Shu named his pet Changsheng, which shows how strong his obsession with immortality is. Qiqi is a zombie, so in a sense, he has also achieved immortality.

Someone who takes Qiqi in like this probably doesn't have pure intentions.

Chapter 149 Even the snakes were silent.

In the afternoon, we lit some calming incense in the shop, and received a lot of positive feedback from our customers.

When the store closed, Xia Zhi brought over four glasses of juice.

"Seventh Sister, how are you feeling?"

"...It's very lively."

“Can you adapt?”

"OK."

"That's good. Thank you for your hard work."

"Boss, with two more people helping out, the afternoon is much easier than the morning, and our sales have increased significantly!"

"It's mostly takeout, right? How many cups do you have left?"

"I'll go check... we've almost used up half of it."

"Remember to go see Miss Ying'er tomorrow and ask her to prepare to send over some more goods as a backup."

"Ok!"

"Yaoyao, are the egg tarts delicious?"

"Delicious!"

“Then I’ll make some more, and you can take them back for Grandma Ping to try.”

"Thank you, big brother!"

"Miss Gan Yu can't eat egg tarts, so I'll make some vegetarian desserts tomorrow."

As Xia Zhi spoke, he suddenly noticed a faint hint of disappointment flash in Qi Qi's eyes.

Although Gan Yu can only eat vegetarian food, there are many delicious vegetarian dishes that she can enjoy as much as she wants.

Qiqi is different; although she can eat both meat and vegetables, she can't taste any flavor.

Even the mooncakes she made herself before tasted bland and tasteless to her.

If she were still in that same muddled and confused state, she naturally wouldn't care about these things.

But now that she has the [Corpse Bead], she has gradually regained her senses and memories, and is becoming more and more like a normal person. She has also begun to care about this loss of taste.

While everyone else was eating together, praising Mr. Xia's cooking skills and looking satisfied after finishing their meals, she could only watch longingly from the sidelines.

That feeling must have been incredibly difficult... but she never showed it to anyone else...

Xia Zhi paused for a moment, said something to everyone, and then got up and walked towards the kitchen.

At the same time, he opened the [Shop] and found the item he had seen before.

The Way of the Underworld Chef

Quality: Gold.

Type: Rule fragment.

Feature: Conversion.

Effect: It can alter the life or death of food, allowing those who starve to die to rest in peace.

Hidden effect: Food deliciousness +10%.

Price: 100 points.

Xia Zhi now earns 60-70 points a day, so he doesn't need to hesitate as much as before when he wants to buy items worth 100 points.

The only problem to consider is that if he buys the [Path of the Underworld Chef] now, the time it takes for him to save up 1000 points to buy the [Second Meditation Method] will be delayed by two days.

Two days is alright, not too long.

Now that Qiqi is his employee, let's solve her meal problem first.

Xia Zhi chose to buy it, 100 points were deducted, and a small, glowing, strange fragment appeared in his inventory.

It also has many mysterious patterns on it, which seem to be the lines of the rules of life and death, or the Dao patterns of life and death, but they are broken.

Xia Zhi selected it, and the system's voice sounded in his mind.

"Absorb the [Way of the Underworld Chef]?"

"Yes."

"Please note that there is a chance of failure when absorbing rule fragments. If it fails, the item will disappear immediately. Do you want to continue?"

There's a chance of failure? And if you fail, you disappear? There's actually this kind of gambling feature?

No wonder something involving rules is sold for such a cheap price of only 100 points.

Luckily, I have the rewind hourglass, so I'm not too worried.

"Yes."

"Absorption failed."

The rule fragments in the inventory have disappeared.

Again!
