Everyone's lips were turned up or slightly upturned, and the atmosphere in the store was very cheerful.
Everyone will have a great day.
Xia Zhi also put a few grains of [Paradise White Jade Rice Puffs] in the food boxes for Miss Gan Yu and Grandma Ping.
I hope Ms. Gan Yu has a happy time working overtime tonight!
After dinner, since it was raining outside and we couldn't go for a walk, we all sat together and played mahjong.
The system is a rotation system; whoever runs out of points goes off the field and is replaced by another player.
Xia Zhi played for a while and then said, "Tomorrow is Thursday."
The girls nodded: "Yes!"
Xia Zhi repeated, "Thursday."
The girls looked bewildered: "Huh?"
Xia Zhi sighed, "Remember to buy chicken tomorrow morning, I'll make fried chicken for you guys."
The girls realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Oh!"
Diona, however, remained completely bewildered: "Huh? What fried chicken?"
"It's basically marinated chicken coated in batter and deep-fried until golden brown. One bite and it's tender, juicy, and incredibly delicious!"
"Oh!"
Diona couldn't help but swallow; she had no resistance to delicious meat dishes.
But she still prefers fish to meat.
"boss……"
"Ok?"
"When you're making fried chicken, could you fry some small fish too?"
"Do you want some fried small fish?"
"I want to eat it! But it has to be small river fish, not sea fish. It tastes especially delicious when fried!"
"Okay, then tomorrow morning you and Zhu Zi go to the market to buy groceries, buy some fresh small river fish, and see if there are any small river shrimp, if so, buy some as well."
"it is good!"

Yuehai Pavilion.
In a room, Ningguang was deep in thought at the table when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Ye Lan, come in."
Ye Lan pushed open the door and walked in; her hair and clothes were somewhat wet.
"Did you rush over in this heavy rain because of something urgent?"
"The investigation into Zhiyi's matter has been completed."
"How is the result?"
“I have already detained him. Just as Secretary Gan Yu said, he was bribed by the ambassador of the Fools. In order to create an opportunity for election, he poisoned the stew in the fish soup while fishing with Uncle Tian.”
“It’s the Fatui again…” Ningguang frowned, her expression turning cold. “The Northern Bank hasn’t been behaving itself lately either. They’ve squeezed out many small money houses in Liyue, and those debt collectors are causing trouble everywhere with loan agreements…”
"Should I take action?"
"No, they operate within the rules, and we must follow the rules too. I have a plan for this. Besides Zhiyi, what about the other two candidates?"
"Those two are normal except for a few minor personality issues."
"Well...thank you for your hard work."
"Then I'll go back first."
"it is good."
Ye Lan came out of Ning Guang's room, but did not leave Yuehai Pavilion immediately. Instead, she went to Gan Yu's office.
She was very interested in Gan Yu's secret intelligence source, which was even faster than hers.
Through the window, she could see bright lights shining inside.
Working overtime so late.
Ye Lan stood outside the window and glanced into the office.
Gan Yu sat at the table approving official documents, a strange, pleased expression on her face as she smiled.
Ye Lan fell silent.
This was the first time she had ever seen someone work overtime with a smile.
Chapter 176 The Transformation Ability Lasts Only Three Minutes
Autumn rain fell outside the window, and it didn't stop all night.
When Xia Zhi woke up in the morning, she felt a bit hot and painful in her head.
The temperature dropped very low last night, and he didn't cover himself with a blanket while sleeping, so he probably caught a cold.
You should draw a "heat symbol" and stick it on the bed board.
Xia Zhi sat up in bed, leaned against the headboard, opened the system panel and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw a red abnormal effect in the character attributes.
[Common Cold]: The type is an illness, characterized by mild headache and fatigue, with a 10% reduction in mental and physical recovery speeds.
Xia Zhi is now a master of medicine; he can cure even a minor cold with a hundred different prescriptions.
However, taking medicine is still too troublesome.
Xia Zhi raised his hand, and a beam of light shone from it as he cast a second-tier light-based spell on himself—[Dispel].
A warm current flowed through my body, instantly taking away all the discomfort.
Xia Zhi felt refreshed and checked the system panel again; the red abnormal effect had disappeared.
Great, that saves us money on medicine.
Light magic is so convenient.
Xia Zhi took out the Transformation Badge and charged it with the power of the light element.
By the time he had used up all his magic, about five-tenths of the badge was lit up.
Xia Zhi woke up earlier today than yesterday, so he could stay in the room a little longer. He got up, walked to the window, and opened it. A damp, cold breeze rushed in.
It was still drizzling on the street.
Because of the clouds in the sky, the morning sunlight was not very bright, but it was enough to activate the [Light Healing] ability.
【Light Healing】: As long as one is bathed in light, one can quickly restore vitality and magic power.
Xia Zhi stood by the window, watching the mana on the system panel gradually recover after being cleared.
Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to be sunlight. Xia Zhi tested it before, and the light emitted by the first-order light spell [Light Spell] can also make [Light Heal] take effect.
The light from the four-in-one lamps at night is also acceptable, but sunlight is the best, and it also depends on the time of day; midday sunlight is more effective than morning sunlight.
Xia Zhi held the [Transformation Badge], restoring his mana while infusing the badge with light elemental power.
It gives me a strange sense of déjà vu, like using solar power to charge a phone.
After a while of cold wind blowing, the [Transformation Badge] finally finished charging and was completely lit up.
Xia Zhi heard the system's voice ringing in his mind.
"Charging progress has reached 100%. It is randomly selecting a transformation ability, which is limited to the light type."
"Ability extraction in progress."
"Gain the [Giant of Light] transformation, limited to 3 minutes."
At the same time, the entire badge turned pure white.
Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment.
The giant of light... Isn't that Ultraman?
When he was a child, he loved watching all kinds of Ultraman fighting monsters and even saved up money to buy a lot of DVDs from street vendors.
I never expected to draw this transformation ability.
To have the chance to become Ultraman, even if only for 3 minutes, was still a dream come true. It's a pity there are no monsters in this world...
Xia Zhi fiddled with the pure white badge in his hand and suddenly thought of the figure of Oser he had seen in that dream.
Its size can be seen from the five enormous heads that emerged from the sea.
I wonder if he could hold his own against this demon in his Ultraman form; three minutes is a long shot...
Let's keep this as a trump card for now.
Xia Zhi put away the [Transformation Badge], closed the window, finished her welfare payment, and went downstairs to wash up.
