Chapter 38 - Cloud Sakura Inn
Chapter 38: Cloud Sakura Inn
Having a canteen was an unexpected surprise!
However, with Wu Chi’s inventory already stocked with more food than he could consume, his need for it was minimal.
He didn’t pay much attention and casually tapped the “+” button.
In the next instant,
a five-colored divine light enveloped the canteen!
Within three seconds,
the light dissipated.
The canteen expanded significantly,
its style transforming from modern to something far more mystical!
In sight:
vividly colored flowers and plants, a Cloud Sakura tree, a spacious hall, a kitchen, and a bedroom.
[Cloud Sakura Inn]
Type: Canteen
Level: 1 (0/200)
Function: Culinary production, Luminous Ingredients (Level 1)
Inventory: 100/100
Description: A charming spot beneath the Cloud Sakura.
Luminous Ingredients
Level: 1
Description: Meals prepared with these ingredients grant temporary positive effects.
“Luminous Ingredients!?”
Wu Chi immediately caught the significance.
Compared to the previous canteen,
the “Cloud Sakura Inn” was much larger—a special building!
Consuming its products granted attribute boosts!
“Interesting…”
Wu Chi pondered for a moment, then stepped into the inn and entered the kitchen.
Inside,
a variety of utensils were neatly arranged—iron pots, steamers, and more.
Wu Chi retrieved a bundle of noodles from his inventory and used 1 unit of inventory to take out an ingredient.
With the ingredient, he quickly prepared a bowl of clear soup noodles.
As soon as the noodles were ready,
the soup, noodles, and bowl emitted a radiant glow, complete with an attribute panel!
[Clear Soup Noodles]
Type: Cuisine
Quality: Grey Trash
Attributes: Satiation, Strength +0.5 (1 hour)
Description: A rare talent indeed—using premium ingredients to create inedible food.
“What the—? It’s not like you’re eating it!”
Wu Chi’s face darkened as he examined the attributes.
According to the description,
culinary boosts had time limits, and their potency depended on the food’s quality and the building’s level!
In other words, the higher the building’s level, the better the food quality and the stronger the attribute boosts!
This bowl of clear soup noodles only provided a 0.5-point strength boost—disappointing.
He hesitated briefly but decided to eat it anyway.
After finishing the bowl,
a surge of warmth spread throughout his body in seconds!
He stood up, clenched his fists, and clearly felt a change in his strength!
“Not bad!”
Wu Chi nodded and smacked his lips.
The taste of this bowl,
was exactly like the noodles he used to cook!
He didn’t think it tasted bad…
“I don’t believe it. I’ll cook some noodles for the two girls later—they’ll get it.”
Determined, Wu Chi began selecting ingredients, ready to showcase his culinary skills.
He wasn’t a culinary god,
but with years of single-life cooking experience,
calling himself a master chef wasn’t too far off, right?
Night fell.
In the infinite void, the sky shifted unpredictably,
while Wu Chi’s territory remained shrouded in eternal darkness, devoid of moonlight or stars.
Inside the territory,
the lights of various buildings lit up, turning it into a glowing beacon amid the dark—bright and captivating.
In the small hut,
Qin Keqing awoke feeling completely refreshed, all traces of post-battle exhaustion gone.
Turning her head,
she saw Lin Daiyu tying her hair.
Having lost her jade hairpin, she used a ribbon to secure her long hair—
both practical and stylish.
“Good evening, Daiyu.”
Qin Keqing rubbed her eyes, sitting up and getting dressed while glancing at the clock on the table.
Wu Chi had placed it there—
a digital clock.
“One… eight… twelve,”
Qin Keqing read slowly, pronouncing each number.
Though unaccustomed to technological devices, she was trying to adapt.
And despite disliking their aesthetic,
she acknowledged their convenience.
“It’s already evening.”
Lin Daiyu adjusted her clothes, speaking softly, “Let’s get ready. The monster tide will surely attack before midnight.”
“Right!”
Invigorated, Qin Keqing hurriedly put on her shoes and left the hut with Lin Daiyu.
The territory wasn’t large,
so they quickly found Wu Chi.
He was in the Cloud Sakura Inn’s hall, asleep on the table.
“This man… so careless, not even afraid of catching a cold.”
Lin Daiyu seemed slightly annoyed, fetched a coat from the hut, and draped it over Wu Chi.
Qin Keqing hesitated to intervene,
but she sensed Lin Daiyu was somewhat “tsundere.”
Half-asleep,
Wu Chi caught two distinct scents—
neither perfume nor makeup!
One like peonies, the other like orchids—both enchanting.
He couldn’t resist inhaling deeply a few times, only to hear a startled cry.
Opening his eyes,
he found Qin Keqing’s face flushed red.
She sat beside him,
and Wu Chi realized he’d been sleeping against her!
“Lord, is Keqing’s scent to your liking?”
A teasing yet icy voice chimed in.
Wu Chi sat up, noticing Lin Daiyu beside him,
her body pressed close…
