"Boss made so many dishes for lunch today! Shall we wait for Miss Shen He to come back and eat together?"
"need."
"Boss, how did you know Senior Shen He would be back at noon?"
"Guess."
"The boss understands divination!"
"Yes!"
Just as lunch was about to be finished, everyone suddenly heard a gasp from outside the shop.
Diona's ears twitched, and she ran out to check what was going on.
A moment later, she ran back, followed by Shen He: "Senior Shen He is back! She just jumped down from the Qunyu Pavilion! Everyone was stunned!"
"Boss, I'm back."
"Okay, wash your hands, it's time to eat."
"it is good."
On the way back, Shen He had many questions and things she wanted to ask, but when she returned to the store and saw Xia Zhi wearing an apron, her heart immediately calmed down.
Ultraman and all that are unimportant.
The dishes were served, and we ate together.
Zhu Zi and Diona asked Shen He about what had happened at the Jade Pavilion.
Shen He spoke softly to them, including about her own actions, but her tone was very flat, as if she were talking about someone else's deeds. Only when she talked about the appearance of the Giant of Light did her tone become a little more vivid.
Zhu Zi and Diona were quite surprised.
Miss Akabane tilted her head, looking somewhat puzzled.
Qiqi remained silent and focused on eating.
After finishing her meal, Shen He was about to wash the dishes when Zhu Zi and Diona took over, saying that she had worked hard protecting Liyue all day and should get a good rest.
Shen He nodded, and in the end, he washed the dishes with them.
While washing, she glanced back at the kitchen doorway and asked softly, "Did the boss go out this morning?"
"No."
"No?"
"Yes, the boss stayed in his room the whole time, saying he was busy with something, and didn't come down until noon."
"That's it..."
Shen He lowered his head, but a slight smile crept onto his lips.
Diona's eyes widened in surprise: "Senior Shen He smiled!"
"Ah."
You look so beautiful when you smile!
"is it?"
"Miss Shen He doesn't usually smile much. I think the last time she smiled was when we were drinking rice wine!"
"That rice wine was so delicious! It's a pity the owner never made it again..."
After washing the dishes, everyone came out of the kitchen and sat down at the table to drink tea together.
Xia Zhi opened the system panel and saw that the update progress of the [Shop] was only [30%].
so slow.
At this rate, it should be time to finish updating by tonight.
In the afternoon, the two gentlemen came to the shop again for juice.
The customers in the shop were all talking about the battle between Qunyu Pavilion and Guyun Pavilion that morning after the pavilion was renovated.
When the store closed, Xia Zhi didn't see Ning Guang arrive, but instead saw Zhong Li.
"Mr. Zhongli is a little late, please wait a moment..."
"I'm here today because I have some private business to discuss with Mr. Xia."
"Private matter?"
“Mr. Xia is quite knowledgeable about stone carving. I just found a jade carving and would like to discuss it with Mr. Xia.”
"I see."
"May I come inside for a chat?"
"Of course, please follow me."
Xia Zhi led Zhong Li into the quiet room in the back hall.
Zhongli sat down but did not take out any jade carvings.
Xia Zhi did not urge him, but waited patiently.
Zhongli looked at him and said, "Mr. Xia must already know the purpose of my visit, right?"
"I don't know."
"..."
Zhongli raised his hand and set up a barrier in the quiet room, preventing outsiders from hearing the sounds inside.
"I've come here today to finalize a contract with Mr. Xia."
"A contract..."
A moment later, the two men came out of the hall, their expressions normal.
Xia Zhi went behind the table and prepared two glasses of specially concentrated fruit juice for him.
Zhongli took them away, leaving behind the words, "Please put it on the bill at the Hall of Rebirth."
Xia Zhi smiled as he watched Prince Yan's dashing departure.
night.
Xia Zhi gave Shen He a good massage to help him relax.
Of course, it's free.
After taking a shower, he returned to his room, opened the system panel, and found that the [Shop] had been updated.
The search bar now includes two new quality options: Radiant and Supreme.
Xia Zhi searched for it out of curiosity.
[Boundary-Breaking Blade], [Eyes of Death Perception], [Heart of the Stars]...
He was first shocked by the powerful effects of these items, then by their terrifying prices of millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, and finally silently closed the search interface.
This is not something he can think about right now.
Subsequently, Xia Zhi discovered that two new subpages had appeared in the [Shop].
[Evolution]: Input an item and spend points to evolve its quality. The initial success rate is 10%, and each failure increases the success rate by 10%. The highest quality that can be evolved is currently the highest quality. (The points required for item evolution are the same as the recycling price. Black iron items require 1 point per evolution, silver items require 10 points per evolution, etc.)
[Enhancement]: Input an item and spend points to enhance its effects. Enhancement is guaranteed to succeed. Each enhancement will randomly strengthen one of the item's effects, and a maximum of five enhancements are allowed. (The points required for item enhancement are the same as the item's recycling price; Black Iron items require 1 point per enhancement, Silver items require 10 points per enhancement, etc.)
After reading it, Xia Zhi fell into deep thought.
The two new features added to the [Shop] are very similar to the effects and hidden effects of the [Enhancement Crystal] in his hand.
The good news is that he can now evolve the quality of any item.
The bad news is that, due to internal system enhancements, he can't use the [Hourglass of Time] to revert to a previous state.
But overall, this is a good thing.
Xia Zhi took out the Transformation Badge and rubbed and played with it in his hand.
Although this badge is only a gold item, it has great potential.
Today, he transformed into the "Giant of Light" with it and easily suppressed the diamond-level Oser.
However, it also has drawbacks, namely that the randomness of drawing transformations is too high, and the transformation time is too short.
He was lucky to draw such a powerful category as the Giant of Light.
This item is well worth the investment to evolve.
Xia Zhi had thought about this before, but he only had one [Enhancement Crystal], so it was more important for the [Hourglass of Time] to evolve into a diamond.
At this time, a system update added the "Evolution" function, which solved the problem.
As for the points required for evolution.
Each evolution of a gold item requires 100 points, with an initial success rate of 10%, and each failure increases the success rate by 10%.
Therefore, even if he fails to evolve every time, his success rate will reach 100% after nine attempts.
The cost here is exactly 1000 points, which is also the lowest price for a platinum item.
