"Working is a must, but I can guarantee that what you went through before will absolutely not happen again," Li Shu said earnestly.
"How do you guarantee that?" Cool Cool Dragon looked at Li Shu suspiciously.
Li Shu explained, "Because the work is very simple. You just need to [invisibility] next to the diners and truthfully record their comments on the food and the restaurant."
"Invisibility? This mouse can turn invisible? No wonder we couldn't catch him," Nobi Bear exclaimed in surprise, looking at Cool Cool Dragon.
"I'm not a mouse, I'm a dinosaur, I just look like a mouse," Cool Cool Dragon retorted with some displeasure.
"Dinosaur?" Just as Nobi Bear was about to mock him, Li Shu quickly stopped him and said, "Little Bear, just consider it helping me out and take in this little guy. He's quite pitiful."
"Of course, Li Shu, your suggestion is very good, if he's willing," Nobi Bear nodded.
"One year. Just work for one year, and this debt will be cleared. You can decide whether to stay or go then," Li Shu added, looking sincerely at Cool Cool Dragon.
"Is that all?" Cool Cool Dragon was somewhat tempted. He actually longed to make friends but was afraid of being ridiculed, so he had been resorting to petty theft.
Although he appeared to be living a life of luxury every day, his heart was always empty and lonely.
"That's all. Are you willing?" Li Shu smiled at Cool Cool Dragon.
After a moment of hesitation, Cool Cool Dragon weakly said, "Then... then alright, but can I make a small request?"
"What request?"
"If anyone mocks me, can you help me teach them a lesson?"
"Just that?" Seeing Cool Cool Dragon's cautious demeanor, Li Shu readily agreed.
"Timed Achievement Quest 'Legendary Dinosaur - Cool Cool!' completed. Congratulations on obtaining the reward: [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg], Achievement Points +4!"
Another 4 achievement points! Li Shu was overjoyed. Although he had painstakingly guided for 5 months without triggering the related achievement quest, the final result was the same.
Perhaps the trigger for some achievement quests is related to character favorability?
If not for the harmonious relationship with Nobi Bear over the past five months, this achievement quest might not have been triggered.
Just as Li Shu was pondering, to his surprise, the system's message notification did not end there.
"Congratulations on completing the hidden achievement quest 'Cool Cool Dragon's Heart Knot', obtaining the reward: one bottle of [Invisibility Epiphany Potion], Achievement Points +2."
"[Invisibility Epiphany Potion]: Upon consumption, there is a small chance to gain enlightenment in [Invisibility Technique]."
This sudden unexpected joy made Li Shu feel incredibly comfortable. His achievement points had now reached a total of 8 points!
"I didn't expect there to be hidden achievements. It should be related to how the achievement quests are completed," Li Shu firmly kept this point in mind.
Li Shu returned to his residence in a good mood. Master Roshi, Krillin, and Wukong were already fast asleep.
However, he had no intention of sleeping. He tried to upgrade [Undying Body], [Saiyan Bloodline], [Battle Eye], [Beginner Senzu Bean Can], and [Double Money Buff] one by one, but all failed.
"I'm really impressed. Can't they just give a hint on how many achievements are needed to upgrade these things?" Li Shu grumbled before taking out the [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg].
[Never-ending Dinosaur Leg]: A renewable edible weapon. When you're tired from fighting, why not take a few bites to replenish your stamina. Combat power increases by 1% after equipping!
Wow, it's actually a weapon? Li Shu was very surprised and suddenly felt it wasn't so useless.
Li Shu estimated that this thing was about two meters long and felt exceptionally comfortable in his hand.
Looking at his reflection in the mirror, holding a two-meter-long, steaming dinosaur leg, he felt it was quite cool.
His combat power also increased from 75 to 76.
Li Shu couldn't help but take a bite of the dinosaur leg. The meat was tender and juicy, no worse than his own cooking.
Moreover, the part he had gnawed off quickly regenerated.
What he initially thought was a useless item now looked more and more pleasing to his eyes, making Li Shu exceptionally surprised.
"Upgrade [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg]," Li Shu decisively gave the command.
This thing could increase combat power by a percentage, it was definitely a top-tier attribute and worth nurturing.
"Consume 1 Achievement Point to upgrade [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg] to [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg - Lv1]? Success rate for this upgrade: 99%!"
What the heck, there's even a success rate? This made Li Shu a little annoyed. This system wasn't developed by Ma, was it?
"Yes!" Li Shu had no choice. He decided to test the waters with 1 achievement point first. Could a 99% success rate still fail?
"Upgrading [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg]..."
"Congratulations, upgrade failed!"
Holy crap!
What a damn congratulations!
A 99% success rate can still fail? This damn success rate is just for reference, right?
Li Shu was furious and jumped up and down. Damn system, you want to mess with me, I'll uninstall you right now...
"Upgrade [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg]!" Li Shu quickly stopped this dangerous thought and, feeling extremely wronged, gave the command again. He refused to believe it.
With a 99% success rate, could he keep failing? He still had 7 achievement points, he could afford to play!
"Upgrading [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg]..."
"Congratulations, it failed again!"
"Huh? Again? What the hell do you mean by 'again'? What the hell do you mean by 'again'? I told you to stop acting up!" Li Shu was instantly fuming, his face twisted in a hideous grimace as he stomped his feet.
"You damn system, just you wait."
Li Shu left the hotel in the middle of the night and bought gold ingots, candles, an incense burner, a gold basin, a compass, yellow paper, hand soap, facial cleanser, whitening masks, Introduction to Feng Shui, and a crucifix, even plucking a few branches as he passed a willow tree.
"If I bring out metaphysics, how will you deal with that?"
Li Shu's eyes were bloodshot, like a desperate gambler who had lost his mind. He first took out the compass and, following the descriptions in Introduction to Feng Shui, located a prime geomantic spot.
He then found a massive boulder and carved the words 'System Daddy' into it. Immediately after, he lit the candles, burned the yellow paper and gold ingots, arranged the incense burners in the positions of the Eight Trigrams, and lit the incense.
Next, he poured the hand soap and facial cleanser into the gold basin and scrubbed his hands and face thoroughly.
Finally, he dipped the willow branches into the water in the gold basin and tapped the 'System Daddy' boulder a few times, signifying a dragonfly skimming the water.
"Gods and Buddhas of the heavens, please protect me, Amen!" Li Shu clutched the crucifix in his hand with pious devotion and immediately issued the command.
"Upgrade [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg]!"
"Do you wish to consume 1 Achievement Point to upgrade [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg] to [Never-ending Dinosaur Leg-Lv1]? The success rate for this upgrade is: 99%!"
"Yes!" Li Shu shouted through gritted teeth.
"[Never-ending Dinosaur Leg] upgrading..."
