Little Muddlehead

Su Jin's talent nearly blinded Wang Xian. More than once, he even wondered whether Su Jin's talent was really Mythical Grade. It felt even more powerful than his Forbidden Grade Talent.

Of course, Su Jin's nickname nearly blinded him as well.

Scumbag May You Die!

Without even thinking, Wang Xian knew that the "scumbag" in that nickname referred to him.

"Son, is Little Jin's talent really that good?" Mom asked.

Wang Xian nodded.

If this talent wasn't good, then there probably weren't any good talents in the world.

Experience! Coins! Equipment!

After Datafication, it covered the three things everyone needed most.

Especially the third attribute of the talent—it could no longer be described as merely "good." It could only be summed up in two words: utterly insane.

It could actually raise the grade of equipment dropped by a BOSS by one level!

That meant there was no need to kill a Mythical Grade BOSS. Killing an Epic BOSS could yield Mythical Grade Equipment.

In his previous life, although no one had ever killed an Epic BOSS, top-tier class users had already begun attempting to raid them.

Yet even after killing an Epic BOSS, it would only drop Epic Grade Equipment.

Mythical Grade Equipment had remained a distant dream for everyone.

But with Su Jin's talent, things were different. Killing an Epic BOSS could drop Mythical Equipment.

Although the chance was only 0.01%, it was still higher than the odds of killing a Mythical Grade BOSS.

Fortunately, this talent belonged to Su Jin. If it had belonged to someone else, Wang Xian would have done everything he could to abduct them. If he couldn't abduct them, he might even have considered killing them.

"Did you tell anyone about your talent?" Wang Xian asked. Though he felt the odds were low, he still had to ask.

"My classmates and teachers all know."

Su Jin spoke softly. She already understood the consequences of exposing her talent.

Wang Xian sighed. Just as he was about to say something, Su Jin hurriedly added, "I only told them that I have a Mythical Grade Talent and revealed the first attribute of it."

"You're not completely stupid, then."

Wang Xian relaxed slightly.

If Su Jin had revealed all the attributes of her talent, it probably wouldn't just be assassins from other countries coming after her. Those in the Dragon Kingdom who couldn't obtain Su Jin would not let her live either.

If I can't have it, neither can you—those words had never been empty talk.

Suddenly!

Wang Xian's body stiffened!

A possibility occurred to him. Perhaps in his previous life, Su Jin had not died at the hands of assassins from other countries. Perhaps after her talent was exposed, she had been killed by people who could not have her.

"Son, what's wrong?"

Mom noticed that something was off with Wang Xian.

"It's nothing. Little Jin's talent just shocked me. Mom, don't tell anyone about Little Jin's talent," Wang Xian quickly warned.

Whether Su Jin had died at the hands of people from other countries in his previous life or at the hands of people from the Dragon Kingdom itself, this time, he would protect her properly and never let Su Mu be heartbroken again.

Anyone who dared harbor ill intentions toward Little Jin, Wang Xian would kill them!!!

"You brat, you don't trust your mother? Your mother knows the consequences of exposing a talent." Mom rapped Wang Xian on the head.

"Mom knows that too? Impressive!"

Wang Xian immediately gave his mom a thumbs-up.

"Son, I've finished killing them. What do we do with these seafood corpses?"

Dad's voice suddenly rang out.

Wang Xian glanced at the seafood that had already lost all signs of life and said, "Of course we eat them!"

"Do you know how to cook seafood?" Dad asked.

Wang Xian decisively shook his head. He had never even eaten any before, so how could he possibly know how to cook it?

"Mom, can you cook?"

Wang Xian looked at Mom.

Mom decisively shook her head as well.

The scene immediately fell silent.

"Um, Uncle, Auntie, I can cook."

Su Jin timidly raised her little hand. Though she had never cooked seafood like this before, she had cooked crabs, so it should be about the same.

"Alright, since Little Jin can cook, then let Little Jin do it!"

With a grand wave of his hand, Wang Xian settled the matter.

"Little Jin, we'll have to trouble you. You came to Auntie's house as a guest, yet you have to cook for us yourself." Mom held Su Jin's hand as she spoke.

"It's no trouble, Auntie."

After giving Mom a sweet smile, Su Jin began tidying up, while Mom moved to help her.

"Son, didn't you break up with Little Mu? What's going on with Little Jin?" Dad pulled Wang Xian aside and asked quietly.

There was nothing to hide, so Wang Xian told him about running into Su Jin downtown earlier that day.

"Why was Little Jin downtown? She couldn't have come looking for you, could she?" Dad asked doubtfully.

Wang Xian shook his head. "She probably wasn't looking for me. As for why Little Jin was downtown, we can ask her when we eat later."

"Works for me."

Dad nodded, then excitedly began telling Wang Xian about his adventures killing monsters outside. Wang Xian broke out in a cold sweat as he listened.

With Su Jin and Mom working together, a grand seafood feast was soon laid out on the table.

"You call this knowing how to cook seafood?"

Wang Xian looked speechlessly at the table full of nothing but steamed seafood. Steamed King Crab, Steamed Giant Lobster, steamed...

The entire table was full of seafood, and everything had been steamed.

"They're supposed to be steamed..."

Su Jin's face reddened slightly. In truth, there were many ways to prepare this seafood, but she didn't know them. Steaming was all she knew.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? It's good enough that you have something to eat!"

Mom picked up a King Crab leg and knocked Wang Xian on the head.

"Mom, I'm your biological son!"

"Not anymore."

Mom replied expressionlessly, then handed the freshly peeled crab leg in her hand to Su Jin.

Wang Xian: ...

"Son, just eat quietly. You can't win against her!"

Dad let out a long sigh, grabbed a lobster as large as a washbasin, and began gnawing on it.

Wang Xian's mouth twitched. He decisively followed Dad's advice, picked up another giant lobster, and started gnawing on it.

After a few bites, Wang Xian suddenly remembered that he still hadn't asked Su Jin why she was in downtown Ji City.

"Little Jin, how did you end up in downtown Ji City?"

"I don't know!"

Su Jin swallowed the crab meat in her mouth, confusion appearing on her face.

"What do you mean, you don't know? Don't you know how you got here?" Wang Xian asked, his face darkening.

He knew that his future sister-in-law was not only greedy but also a little muddleheaded, but surely she wasn't so muddleheaded that she didn't even know why she was in Ji City?

"I really don't know! I was still in the Imperial Capital last night. Several big brothers and big sisters formed a party and took me leveling all night. I got tired, so I sat down to rest. Then I don't know how, but I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was here."

At this point, Su Jin was equally bewildered. She also found it strange that she had somehow appeared here.

Wang Xian: ...

Mom: ...

Dad: ...
