Chapter 10 The Fusion of Love and Food
Filled with joy, Wang Xiaoyi hummed a little tune as he strolled down the bustling street. He had made a small fortune today; the nine silver coins in his pocket made him feel as if he could almost touch a happy future. The cries of vendors rose and fell from both sides of the street, but his gaze was suddenly drawn to a small figure.
It was a pitiful little girl, her thin body huddled on a street corner, with several bouquets of colorful flowers in front of her. Her dirty little face was filled with helplessness, and her big eyes looked expectantly at passersby, but because the passersby were in a hurry, most of them only glanced at her and left, and no one paid any attention to her flowers.
Out of kindness, Wang Xiaoyi slowly walked to the little girl's side. He squatted down, looking directly at her with gentle eyes. He reached out and picked up a vibrant red flower, asking, "Little friend, how much is this flower?" The little girl's eyes lit up with surprise at the sight of someone buying flowers, and Wang Xiaoyi immediately took out a silver coin and gave it to her.
The little girl paused for a moment, then whispered, "Thank you, brother, I only need 10 copper coins."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoyi was momentarily stunned, then a bright smile spread across his face. He was now quite wealthy; the nine silver coins were still safely in his pocket, and he had only spent one silver coin on the groceries he had bought at the market earlier—this small amount was nothing to him. He generously bought all the flowers in front of the little girl, saying, "Little friend, I'll take all of these flowers."
The little girl stared wide-eyed at Wang Xiaoyi, her eyes filled with gratitude. She desperately needed money; her grandmother was sick and needed treatment, and her family was already destitute. Penniless, she could only pick her favorite flowers and sell them. But she knew that although the flowers she picked were beautiful, not many people would like them. If she hadn't met a kind person like Wang Xiaoyi today, she would have been truly helpless.
The little girl took the silver coin from Wang Xiaoyi with trembling hands, and said in a slightly choked voice, "Thank you, brother. You are such a kind person." After saying that, she bowed gently to Wang Xiaoyi.
Wang Xiaoyi casually patted the little girl's head, and as he turned to leave, a system notification sounded in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations, you have acquired the passive skill 'A Good Person'." The voice echoed clearly in my mind, with a mechanical quality, yet it inexplicably made me feel excited.
Passive Skill: A Good Person
Skill Introduction:
Being a good person is a passive skill that is automatically triggered when a player performs an act of kindness. This skill not only increases the player's morality score but also allows them to earn various rewards by accumulating gratitude points.
Effect description:
1. Increase Gratitude Points: Players will receive a certain amount of gratitude points each time they perform a good deed.
2. Gratitude Points Lottery: Players can use gratitude points to participate in a lottery, with the prize pool containing various valuable items and rewards.
3. Direct Redemption: Players can also choose to directly redeem specific prizes using a specific amount of gratitude points.
The system notification continued, "Ding, the Gratitude Points Lottery function is activated. You can check your Gratitude Points balance at any time and participate in the lottery. The lottery is divided into normal lottery and rare lottery. The normal lottery consumes 10 Gratitude Points and has a small chance of obtaining rare items; the rare lottery consumes 100 Gratitude Points and has a higher chance of obtaining rare items."
Wang Xiaoyi's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected his simple act of kindness to bring such benefits. He quickly checked his gratitude points in his mind and found that he already had over 200 points. He was ecstatic!
He decided to take a closer look at the lottery feature when he got home that evening. Right now, his priority was to get home quickly and celebrate this wonderful day with his parents.
Walking home, Wang Xiaoyi felt even more cheerful. He imagined the look of surprise on his mother's face when she saw the fresh ingredients, and the warm scene of the family sitting together enjoying a meal. His steps became lighter, as if he could fly.
Wang Xiaoyi returned home filled with joy, eager to recount his extraordinary experiences to his parents. When he described his adventures in the unknown forest, his job change to become an elf messenger, and even his unexpected acquisition of a hidden profession, his mother listened in astonishment, her eyes sparkling with surprise and pride.
“It’s amazing,” the mother exclaimed. “Perhaps it really is because God is especially kind to you, and the gods are protecting you.”
However, the father remained silent, his brow slightly furrowed. He knew the principle that "things reach their extremes and then reverse," and worried that Wang Xiaoyi's overly smooth life might bring unnecessary risks.
“My child, you must always be vigilant,” the father said slowly. “There will always be ups and downs and challenges on the road of life, and we must learn to cope with and overcome them.”
"I know, Father," Wang Xiaoyi muttered softly, his heart filled with love for his family.
He knew that although Ryan's father appeared very stern on the surface, his serious expression like a snow-capped mountain that inspired awe, beneath that cold exterior lay a deep and passionate love for Ryan. Like a gentle stream, calm on the surface, yet containing boundless power within, it silently nurtured Ryan's growth in every little detail of life.
The mother, on the other hand, always enveloped the family with endless tenderness and care. Her love, like the warm spring sun, gently sprinkled into every corner and into the hearts of every family member. This is a typical family model of a loving mother and a strict father. Although their styles are different, they together weave a haven full of love. What a happy family it is!
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyi's joy grew even stronger. He held the most precious treasure in the world in his hands and excitedly showed everyone the fresh ingredients he had bought at the market that day.
“Look, Mother!” He first picked up the large bass that shimmered silver in the sunlight, its scales like meticulously crafted armor plates. “These scales are so beautiful, and they’re so fresh. I saw them at the market and decided to buy them right away. The fishmonger even said they were just caught today.”
Then, he held up a bunch of fresh green vegetables high, saying, "Look at these vegetables, every leaf is so green and shiny, just like they're carved from jade. I walked around the market several times and compared prices at many different places before I finally found such fresh ones."
He then picked up a few bright red cherry tomatoes as if displaying rare treasures, gently waving them in the air. "Mother, look at these cherry tomatoes, they're as red as little fireballs. They must be incredibly sweet if you take a bite. I'm thinking of making a salad with them, and pairing them with the bread I just bought. It'll be absolutely delicious."
Then, Wang Xiaoyi picked up a piece of pork with alternating layers of fat and lean meat. "The texture of this pork is so good. I specially chose this piece. It will definitely be especially fragrant when used to make braised pork."
His enthusiasm touched the whole family, and their faces beamed with happy smiles, filling the house with a warm atmosphere.
The whole family couldn't help but laugh at Wang Xiaoyi's excited expression. His father nodded with a smile and said, "Rayne, today is truly a rare sight, with you so enthusiastically showcasing these ingredients."
Wang Xiaoyi scratched his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly, saying, "I was lucky today and made a lot of money. I was able to buy so many fresh ingredients, so I wanted my mother to cook a super lavish meal."
His mother gently patted his hand, "Alright, alright, I'll go make you something delicious right away."
Wearing a floral apron, the mother busied herself in the kitchen for a long time, finally turning the ingredients Wang Xiaoyi had bought at the market into a sumptuous dinner. The table was laden with plates of delicious-looking and fragrant dishes, emitting an enticing aroma.
The braised pork belly gleamed with an enticing reddish-brown color, each piece perfectly marbled with fat and lean meat, the skin trembling slightly as if whispering its secrets. The grilled fish was golden and crispy, the cuts on its surface revealing tender, juicy flesh that seemed ready to burst forth, exuding a subtle oceanic aroma. The vegetable stew was rich and fragrant, the various vegetables mingling in the broth—emerald greens, orange-red carrots, and pristine white onions—like vibrant jewels. The rich broth, like the essence of the earth, sent a warm sensation coursing through the body with every sip.
My father also personally brought out his carefully crafted wine from the cellar and poured some into everyone's glasses. The red wine was bright in color and exuded an enticing aroma.
The family was laughing and chatting, eating and drinking, enjoying this rare time together. Just then, a clear bird song suddenly came from outside the window.
"Squeak—" The window was pushed open, and a brightly colored parrot flew in. It landed lightly on Wang Xiaoyi's shoulder, tilted its head, and curiously looked at everyone in the room with its bright eyes.
"Oh my goodness, what a beautiful parrot!" the mother exclaimed. "Rayne, where did you get this precious pet?"
Wang Xiaoyi smiled and explained the parrot's origins to his parents: "This isn't a pet; it's my mentor. Full of wisdom and charm."
Wang Xiaoyi began to praise the Elf King Dragon (in parrot form) at length: "Do you know? My mentor is the most intelligent being in the world. Its wisdom is like the endless starry sky, profound and mysterious. Every idea it has can illuminate my path forward like a brilliant star. Its knowledge is beyond imagination. Whether it is ancient magic legends or long-lost elven secret arts, it knows them all like the back of its hand, like a living magic library."
"The mentor's insight is astonishingly sharp. It's like a gentle breeze that can see through all the fog; no subtle change escapes its notice. In adventures, it can always discover hidden dangers or valuable opportunities at the most crucial moments, as if it has eyes that can see through everything."
"Moreover, its guidance is always just right. Like the most skilled craftsman creating a masterpiece, every suggestion is precise. It doesn't have any superfluous words; every sentence is like a key to unlock the door to success, concise yet full of power, allowing me to avoid countless detours on my path to growth."
Hearing Wang Xiaoyi's various praises, the Elf King Dragon (parrot form) was overjoyed. It flapped its wings twice, seemingly to express its inner joy.
Wang Xiaoyi became more and more excited as he spoke: "My mentor's character is as noble as a sacred radiance. He selflessly dedicates his wisdom and strength without ever holding back, just like the sun that shines on the earth, treating every life that needs his help with fairness and compassion. His heart is so pure that there is not a trace of impurity, like the clearest spring water, which makes me feel a transcendent tranquility and strength when I am near him."
"And its adaptability is simply divine. No matter how complex the situation or how sudden the crisis, it can always quickly come up with the most perfect solution. Like a peerless chess player, all difficulties are just pieces in its layout. With a slight move, it can turn the tide."
Ryan's parents stared wide-eyed; they had never heard such passionate and poetic praise, and they were filled with awe for the wondrous parrot before them. The mother couldn't help but exclaim, "Ryan, your mentor is truly amazing!"
The father nodded in surprise, "It seems that our Ryan is truly blessed by God to have such an extraordinary mentor."
The Elf King Dragon (parrot form) tilted its head on Wang Xiaoyi's shoulder, seemingly waiting for more praise. It looked like a child eager for compliments, finding the most comfortable corner in Wang Xiaoyi's words. It thought to itself, "This little guy is really my little bug. He's so good at talking. Although he's speaking the truth, he really hits the nail on the head. Don't stop, don't stop, please continue."
Perhaps Wang Xiaoyi could truly hear the inner monologue of the Elf King Dragon (parrot form), as his praise continued: "The mentor's existence is like the core melody of a beautiful musical movement; all adventure stories become meaningful because of him. His wisdom is like a lighthouse, illuminating our way in the dark sea of adventure, filling every unknown corner with hope."
