I'm a male god in Liyue

Of course, this improvement also has some drawbacks.

It just won't taste as good.

After all, the taste is mixed with medicine.

If Xia Zhi were to cook it, with his masterful culinary skills, he could perfectly harmonize these difficult-to-coordinate flavors.

But if Hu Tao were to make it, I imagine the soup she made would taste... very strange.

"It's written."

Xia Zhi put down his pen.

Walnut carefully picked up the thin piece of paper and put it away as if it were a precious treasure.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia!"

"You're welcome, it's just a recipe."

"You can't say that! I owe Mr. Xia a huge favor."

"Well, if Master Hu insists on saying that, then let's consider this recipe as a loan fee for Guest Elder Zhongli."

"Alright!"

They both smiled.

--

In the teahouse, Zhongli, who was playing cards, suddenly seemed to sense something and couldn't help but frown.

The two True Lords looked over: "Emperor... Mr. Zhongli?"

Zhongli waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, let's play cards."

After Xia Zhi finished massaging Hu Tao, Miss Gan Yu came over again.

She was still wearing that platinum-colored progress bar.

The progress bar is quite large.

Also white.

It looks very tempting.

"Mr. Xia."

"Miss Gan Yu, please lie down."

"Hmm... that herbal soup we had at noon..."

"Is it tasty?"

"Delicious! That's the best dish I've ever eaten!"

"If Miss Gan Yu likes it, I'll make it for you again next time."

"Okay... thank you, Mr. Xia... and... um... because of the dish you made, Mr. Xia, I'm now an immortal..."

"right."

"Does Mr. Xia already know?"

"Yes, I've noticed something."

"As expected... as expected of Mr. Xia... I really owe Mr. Xia a huge favor this time."

Another big favor to do.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but smile.

Why did Mr. Xia suddenly start laughing?

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something happy."

"Oh……"

Chapter 363 Osmanthus Cake is So Sour (4K)

"Progress bar has reached 100%, Platinum Chest reward obtained."

The system's voice rang in Xia Zhi's mind, and the progress bar on Gan Yu disappeared.

Xia Zhi checked his inventory and saw that a platinum-colored treasure chest had appeared.

This is the second high return he has received since investing in the people around him.

Although this method is much slower than creating item recycling points, it has its advantages, namely, it's a win-win situation.

During this process, Miss Gan Yu's strength improved, and she also obtained a treasure chest.

His dedication has not disappeared; it will remain with the other person forever.

And because he was kind to the other person, he also managed to increase the other person's favorability.

Just like Ms. Gan Yu today, when he massaged her, she blushed much more often than before.

This seems to make it more than just a win-win situation...

After Xia Zhi finished massaging everyone, she went to the back and took a hot bath by herself, feeling quite comfortable.

After leaving the bathhouse, I saw everyone still sitting together talking about the night lanterns.

"The holiday is over, and the store will be open for business tomorrow. Everyone, please remember to get some rest."

"Good boss!"

Xia Zhi nodded, went upstairs to the second floor, and returned to his room.

Xia Zhi had almost used up the calming incense, so he took out the blazing incense burner and made some more.

Then, he took out the platinum treasure chest he had just obtained and chose to open it.

A golden arc appeared in front of him.

【Golden Hoop】

Quality: Platinum.

Type: Jewelry.

Characteristics: Suppression, conversion.

Effect: When used on a target, it can suppress any ability they possess, but not those abilities can exceed the item's quality level. As the target wears this item for longer, their affinity towards you will automatically increase.

Hidden effect: Immune to all mental spells of level 3 and below.

Xia Zhi picked up the golden arc and examined it in front of him; its touch was a little cold.

Although it looks more like a golden ring on an angel's head, and is quite different from the golden headband worn by Sun Wukong in the original TV series, its effect still reminded Xia Zhi of that golden headband.

In particular, the [Conversion] trait is a very rare effect related to favorability.

The ability to automatically increase the other person's favorability towards you... this effect can be described as very Buddhist.

For Xia Zhi, this item is of little use for the time being, but he can keep it.

After all, Xia Zhi doesn't lack the points he can reclaim now.

Xia Zhi put away the Golden Hoop and took out the three Multi-Purpose Bottles.

Each bottle contained a black liquid of varying shades.

"Forbidden knowledge, the abyss's aura, the remnants of demon gods..."

Xia Zhi looked at them, pondered for a while, opened the bottle of [Abyssal Aura], and used his finger to pluck out a wisp, carefully sensing it.

"This thing... I feel like I'm familiar with it..."

Xia Zhi frowned slightly and used his [Fixed Memory] to search his mind. He quickly found the source that felt familiar to him.

That was a special dream he had last year.

The master of the dream is the lowest-ranking executor of the Fools – Prince Tartaglia.

When Xia Zhi entered the dream of the "Young Master," the scenery before him blurred for a moment, and then a man-eating darkness descended, carrying with it a kind of unspeakable and immense malice.

That uncomfortable feeling is very similar to the feeling that Xia Zhi is getting from the abyssal aura right now.

Xia Zhi recalled the dream where there was no light at all, only bottomless darkness, and couldn't help but lower his head and ponder: "Could the scene in that dream be the abyss? [Young Master] actually went to the abyss?"

interesting.

The waters of the Fools are indeed very deep.

Even the lowest-ranking executive officer had this strange experience.

Those executives ranked ahead of [Young Master] are probably all highly skilled.

Xia Zhi put the abyssal aura on his finger back into the [Universal Bottle], and then remembered another person who had appeared in that dream.

The mysterious swordsman who fought against the "Young Master".

The other person was slender and graceful, and was a female swordsman.
