Chapter 8 - Affection

[Qin Yueyue's affection has reached 30]

 

"Qin Yueyue's affection has reached 30?"

 

"Seems like my actions from a while ago made Qin Yueyue's affection toward me to increase."

 

"However, there's no reward or anything else?"

 

"The system just merely informed me that Qin Yueyue's affection toward me has increased?"

 

"System, open Qin Yueyue's affection stats!"

 

"System, open Qin Yueyue's stats tab!"

 

"System, open…"

 

Qin Hua tried to tinker around with the system, to see if there's any hidden function that he could try to activate.

 

However, there wasn't any response coming from the system.

 

"Seems like there currently isn't any function with the affection thing. I guess the system is just informing me of my partner's affection level toward me."

 

"Maybe something might happen if Qin Yueyue's affection toward me become even higher and reached a certain number… But for now, this isn't something I should care too much about."

 

"The matter on hand I should care the most about is to break through and become an official talisman crafter!"

 

"But before I get to that, I should focus my mind on preparing the breakfast first."

 

"Qin Yueyue is going to be surprised when she wakes up and tastes my breakfast. After all, my cooking skills that have been sharpened for 20 years isn't something to be taken lightly!"

 

Upon seeing that there wasn't any response coming from the system, Qin Hua threw the affection matter to the back of his mind and focused on preparing breakfast.

 

One thing worth noting, the reason Qin Hua had his system screen opened by his side despite being able to close his system screen was because he wanted to make sure he didn't miss any new text log if any new text log were to appear.

 

Qin Hua had noticed that the system didn't possess any alert functions.

 

Which meant that, when a new text log appeared, the system wouldn't do something like ringing a sound to notify him about it.

 

Also, if his system screen was closed, when a new text log appeared, the system screen wouldn't open by itself to show that a new text log had appeared.

 

Therefore, Qin Hua decided to always have the system screen opened by his side.

 

And this was how Qin Hua was able to quickly notice the new text log regarding Qin Yueyue's affection toward him had reached 30.

 

In any case, since Qin Hua was able to adjust the translucency of the system screen, the system screen didn't really affect his vision.

 

Therefore, if he wasn't in combat or anything, the system screen constantly being by his side didn't really post any inconvenience to him.

 

"Hmm, what should I cook? Chicken and vegetables…"

 

"Stir fry chicken with vegetables?"

 

"No, I should cook something that is invigorating and nutritious…"

 

"I know, I should cook ginseng chicken soup!"

 

"If I remember correctly, the ginsengs of this world are actually much more nutritious than the ginsengs in my previous due to the medicinal properties and energy that they possess within them."

 

"A 100-year-old ginseng costs roughly 1 lower-quality energy stone, and I still have a few lower-quality energy stones left."

 

"Since Qin Family is going to provide me with a year's worth of talisman crafting ingredients, and I don't intend on focusing on cultivating to level 3 of energy refining realm…"

 

"It means that I don't really have much use for the energy stones right now."

 

"Therefore, spending 1 energy stone on a 100-year-old ginseng should be fine."

 

"In any case, Qin Yueyue's body is the most important! Not only did she just have her first night not too long ago, but she is also now pregnant with my child!"

 

"Furthermore, since it is definite that the child possesses a spiritual root, it means that the child is going to absorb a great amount of energy from Qin Yueyue's body when the child is beginning to form into an embryo inside of her…"

 

"And when the child has developed into a fetus, it is going to start absorbing even more energy from Qin Yueyue's body…"

 

"Alright, it has been decided! I will prepare ginseng chicken soup for breakfast!"

 

Upon coming to a decision, Qin Hua went to get his pouch, which he had his lower-quality energy stones stored in.

 

Afterward, he headed out of Qin Family Manor and went to the nearest medicinal herb store to buy a 100-year-old ginseng.

 

When Qin Hua arrived back home, 40 minutes had already passed since he had left Qin Family Manor.

 

Without wasting any time, Qin Hua immediately head to the kitchen, then began preparing the ingredients to cook the ginseng chicken soup.

 

From the preparations of the ingredients to getting all of the ingredients into a pot, it took Qin Hua roughly 15 minutes.

 

Now, all Qin Hua has to do is to cook the ginseng chicken soup at low heat for roughly 3 to 4 hours and check the ginseng chicken soup from time to time, tasting and adjusting the soup accordingly so that it tastes good.

 

 "Hmm. Now all I have to do is to let it simmer at low heat, then taste and season it accordingly."

 

After Qin Hua was pretty much done with the ginseng chicken soup, he took a stretch, then let out a groan as he muttered to himself.

 

"Now, with the 3 to 4 hours that I have, I should start improving my talisman crafting skills."

 

"I wonder how much experience I am going to be able to gain in 1 session of talisman crafting…"

 

While muttering to himself in his own mind, Qin Hua began walking toward the talisman crafting room.

 

Upon walking into the talisman crafting room, a huge low rectangle table could be seen situated in the middle of the room, and by the door was a row of storage cabinets.

 

A sitting mat was placed on one side of the table, and on the table, the talisman crafting ingredients that were needed to craft fireball talismans were already placed there in advance.

 

Evidently, that was the doing of Qin Yueyue when she had woken up earlier this morning.

 

"How thoughtful of Qin Yueyue, but how did she know that I was intending on crafting fireball talismans?"

 

"I guess that Qin Yuan must have informed her that I was close to being able to craft fireball talismans without failing."

 

Seated on the sitting mat, Qin Hua muttered to himself as he checked onto the ingredients to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the ingredients.

 

After checking and confirming that there was no problem with the ingredients…

 

Qin Hua took a deep breath and prepared himself for a session of talisman crafting.
