"It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to complete the quest and properly repay you...!"
Li Haiyun looked at Zhu Zhuqing's earnest expression, and his favorability toward her silently increased in his heart.
He affirmed in his thoughts, "She is a good girl!"
Then, Li Haiyun replied gently, "Alright, Zhuqing. Just focus on completing this quest well; don't put too much mental pressure on yourself!"
"Boss Li, I understand!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said.
"Boss Li, what do you usually eat for lunch?" Ning Rongrong, who was standing nearby, asked. "We'll go prepare it for you!"
Li Haiyun said, "As for food, I'm not picky. I'll eat whatever is available!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes lit up.
If Boss Li wasn't a picky eater, it would save a lot of trouble and spare her from having to struggle with making a choice.
"Got it, Boss Li, I know now!"
"Just wait in the shop at noon, and Zhuqing and I will pack up a delicious lunch and bring it for you to enjoy!"
Ning Rongrong said with a bright, gentle smile.
Li Haiyun replied politely, "Alright, thank you. Zhuqing, Rongrong, I'll leave it to you both!"
Right now, he was looking forward to lunch very much.
With the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's little princess, Ning Rongrong, and the stunningly beautiful Zhu Zhuqing preparing a meal for him, it was bound to be finger-licking good!
Not only that.
He wouldn't even have to lift a finger to eat.
He just had to sit there, open his mouth, and the gorgeous Zhu Zhuqing would take the initiative to serve him, feeding him bite by bite.
Clothes brought to his hands, food brought to his mouth!
This was simply blissful!
This kind of top-tier happiness was something money couldn't buy.
"This is what it means to live like a human being!"
"A life of fighting and killing is no good; a life surrounded by beauties is the true path in this world!"
Li Haiyun felt a thousand emotions in his heart.
He hoped these Douluo beauties would receive more quests like this; it would be absolutely wonderful.
"Boss Li, then Zhuqing and I will go prepare now!"
Ning Rongrong said as she bid him farewell.
Li Haiyun nodded and replied gently, "Alright, you two go ahead!"
"Goodbye, Boss Li!"
"Bye-bye, Boss Li!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, like two sisters, said their polite goodbyes.
Then, they left the Quest Card Shop.
Currently, both Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had accepted three quests each and could no longer use any more quest cards.
On the road.
Ning Rongrong said with a hint of envy, "Zhuqing, I'm so envious of you!"
"You're practically a daughter of fortune; the quests you get are all so good!"
"Do you know? That Purple Grade Quest of mine, which increases my second soul ring's age by 500 years, actually requires me to hunt 20 thousand-year-level purple plant-type soul beasts!"
"How could a weak support-type female soul master like me possibly manage that!"
"If only I could be like you, feeding Boss Li and getting stronger just like that, it would be so great!"
As she spoke, Ning Rongrong pouted, feeling frustrated by the task of hunting 20 thousand-year soul beasts.
Zhu Zhuqing took Ning Rongrong's hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Rongrong, don't worry!"
"Hunting thousand-year soul beasts—leave that kind of thing to me, I will help you!"
"Besides, if we're talking about who the daughter of fortune is, I think it's you, Rongrong!"
"Something as fantastical as the Quest Card Shop just happened to be discovered by you!"
"It's thanks to you that I was able to come here to use the quest cards, and it's thanks to you that I've been able to avoid so many detours!"
"I really thank you so much!"
These were Zhu Zhuqing's true feelings; she was sincerely grateful to Ning Rongrong.
"Hehe, Zhuqing, this is what I should do as your good sister!"
Ning Rongrong said with a silly grin.
The two sisters, hand in hand, began to stroll through the streets.
There was still some time before lunch at noon.
Therefore, Ning Rongrong planned to take Zhu Zhuqing out to stroll through the streets and explore some delicacies.
Right now.
Both Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were very clear about their future direction.
First, help Zhu Zhuqing complete the "feeding" quest to help her grow stronger.
Then, use another quest card to see what kind of quest they could receive.
Finally, complete them one by one according to the difficulty of the quests, so that the two sisters could become stronger together!
Inside the Quest Card Shop.
Following the departure of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
Li Haiyun became idle.
Although the area was crowded with people, they were all just onlookers.
These passersby were like people hired to carry a sedan chair and blow trumpets; none of them bought quest cards, they were just there to join in the fun!
Consequently.
Li Haiyun lay back on his rocking chair, relaxed and carefree, waiting for lunch at noon.
During this time.
Solio, the eldest son of the Soto City City Lord's Mansion, arrived.
He brought twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins given to him by his father, specifically to purchase quest cards.
As soon as Solio saw Li Haiyun, he became extremely eager and attentive, acting just like a sycophant...!
He not only greeted Li Haiyun on his own behalf but also extended greetings to Li Haiyun on behalf of his father and his entire family.
Is this little fatty not quite right in the head? Li Haiyun couldn't help but wonder.
But thoughts were just thoughts.
Li Haiyun still politely sold him a quest card.
Solio first bought one quest card, wanting to see what kind of quest he would receive.
This time, the quest Solio received was the same as the last one: still Purple Grade!
Last time, the Purple Grade Quest had earned him a five-hundred-year-old Jade Phosphorus Snake Skull.
This time, Solio was full of anticipation, hoping to secure another spirit bone.
However, the result was not quite what he had hoped for!
Because the quest reward was to increase his physical attractiveness by 50%!
Although it wasn't a spirit bone, this reward was very much to Solio's liking.
"Increase my attractiveness by 50%? Wouldn't that make me even more handsome and leave those little girls swooning over me!"
Upon careful consideration, Solio felt very excited and was quite fond of this quest reward.
However, the content of the quest made it impossible for him to be happy.
Because to complete this quest.
Solio needed to remain silent and not speak a single word for the next ten days!
What was even more fatal was that the nature of this quest was known only to himself.
He could not mention any information regarding the quest content to others, including through methods like "writing" or "drawing."
Having received such a bizarre quest.
Solio had no heart to continue buying quest cards to take on another one.
Therefore, he politely bowed to Boss Li Haiyun, waved his hand in farewell, and left in silence.
Poor kid, not being able to speak for ten days will surely drive his father crazy!
Besides, this Solio doesn't look like much; even with a 50% increase in attractiveness, I'm afraid his looks will still be less than satisfactory...
Li Haiyun thought to himself, feeling a bit of sympathy for Solio.
ps: Good night, good afternoon, and good morning to everyone! Wishing you all a smooth and happy new week! Please support me!!
Chapter 25: Feeding Together
While feeling pity for Solio.
Li Haiyun was secretly delighted in his heart, If Solio completes the quest and I trigger a 100-fold reward, increasing my attractiveness by 5000%, I will instantly become the most handsome man on the Douluo Continent!
Of course, the probability of triggering a 100-fold reward was minuscule!
If he could trigger a 1-fold reward and increase his attractiveness by 50%, Li Haiyun would already be very satisfied.
After all, he was different from Solio.
Li Haiyun was already handsome and dashing to begin with; if he could increase his attractiveness by 50%, he would be even more handsome and charming.
Good looks are just like Gold Soul Coins—the more, the better!
Being able to rely on one's face to make a living is a form of strength in its own right.
Li Haiyun lay back on his rocking chair to rest.
The passersby remained gathered in a lively crowd outside the shop entrance.
They were quite gossipy, busy discussing and speculating about what kind of missions Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Solio had received.
Time slipped away bit by bit.
It was midwinter, and the midday sun was not scorching or blinding, but gentle and bright.
The sunlight reflected on one's face felt as comfortable as the soft caress of a beautiful girlfriend's hand against one's cheek.
The sun bathed the body like a warm bed that comforted all things, bringing joy to both body and mind!
Although the passersby were crowded together in a noisy throng, they felt neither heat nor impatience.
The elderly, in particular, had come out specifically to bathe in the sunlight and chat.
Inside the room, Li Haiyun was lying down just as comfortably!
It was a pity there was no beauty in his arms to embrace while he slept.
He was currently enjoying this leisurely slice of life.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing returned.
However, they did not return alone; following behind the two sisters were five servants dressed in matching gray chef's robes.
These servants wore beaming smiles, carrying sandalwood food cages in both hands, from which steaming, fragrant aromas wafted out.
The passersby nearby caught the scent and couldn't help but feel their stomachs rumble, a wave of hunger surging into their hearts.
Their mouths watered as they stared longingly at the cages of delicacies, desperate for a taste.
