I was so scared that I put all my points into health.

Chapter 39 The Generous Lord Pleasing the Beauty Suit

President Winnie told Wang Xiaoyi and the other two that rooms had been arranged for them, one for each person. The rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable, and quiet. She gestured slightly in a direction, "Go and complete the check-in procedures first, and put your backpacks and personal belongings in your rooms. Return to my office in an hour, and then we will begin our mission."

Her voice was like a gentle stream, carrying a warm strength that inspired trust in those around her. The three thanked President Winnie and left her office, heading to their room as instructed. Along the way, Alpha and Allen excitedly discussed their anticipation for the upcoming mission. Wang Xiaoyi, however, was preoccupied with the task awaiting his devout followers.

President Winnie stood before her desk, her eyes sparkling with joy. She carefully put away each piece of the beautiful outfit Wang Xiaoyi had gifted her, her gaze filled with delight. At that moment, her mood was like a blooming flower, radiant and bright.

The president thought to herself, "This Wang Xiaoyi, although his combat strength is somewhat unsatisfactory, the gifts he gives are quite to her liking. And his mouth is as sweet as if it has been coated with honey. Every time he speaks, it is like a spring breeze that gently touches people's hearts. He can accurately speak to her heart. Such a young man is really rare and worth cultivating."

She looked at the strange and interesting things, her smile widening. Especially the massage device; she held it in her hand, playing with it. She thought to herself, "Women, no matter how beautiful, are always hard to resist little things that make them more comfortable and relaxed."

The three-person room was located on the fourth floor of the Adventurers' Guild, a place so quiet it felt like a world apart. Upon entering, one could immediately feel the tranquil atmosphere, thanks to a carefully placed soundproof magical barrier. This magical barrier acted like an invisible yet sturdy shield, blocking out all the noise from the outside world, creating a perpetually deathly silence within the room.

The entire room was clean and tidy, exuding a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. A large double bed occupied the center of the room, its comforter as soft as velvet and as fluffy as freshly fluffed cotton, giving the feeling of being gently enveloped as soon as one lay down. Two large, soft, fluffy pillows sat on the headboard, like two docile little animals, ready to provide comfortable support for a weary body. In addition, there were two delicate cushions, like little fairies adding decoration to the bed, making the whole bed even more cozy.

Not far away, a table and several chairs were neatly arranged. On the table sat a magical crystal radiating a mysterious aura. The crystal's shape was irregular, yet it seemed to contain some mysterious power of the universe. Its flickering light seemed to conceal countless secrets, inspiring endless speculation about its purpose. Was it a key to exploring unknown territories? Or a shield capable of resisting powerful magic?

On the table lay an exquisite magic map, a gift specially prepared for them by President Winnie. This map was no cheap affair; it acted like a silent historian, meticulously recording every place they had visited. Even more amazing, lifelike little footprints could be seen on the map, and these footprints were actually moving, indicating that people were currently walking in this area. This was a treasure; with it, they could confidently explore the places they had been.

In addition, a magic backpack filled with magical potions sat on the table. Curious, Wang Xiaoyi opened the backpack and found it overflowing with all sorts of magical potions: there were miraculous potions that could quickly restore health, potions that could restore magic power, and potions that could increase attributes such as agility and strength. Among them, the most eye-catching were three blue crystals—teleportation crystals. They were crystal clear and emitted a dazzling light. If danger arose, simply crushing the crystals would allow one to instantly escape the battlefield; this life-saving treasure undoubtedly brought a sense of security.

A neat little cabinet stood beside the bed, upon which sat a magic lamp emitting a soft glow. This uniquely shaped lamp resembled a fine work of art. At night, it was like a silent, protective elder, radiating a bright and warm light that evenly illuminated every corner of the room, bringing warmth and light to the entire space.

The bathroom features a spacious wooden tub, its surface rustic and sturdy. One can imagine the steaming scene when hot water is poured in, the warm vapors filling the entire shower area – like a comforting embrace on a cold winter's day, allowing one to relax and rejuvenate after a tiring adventure, fully enjoying a moment of tranquility.

Wang Xiaoyi glanced around the room, inwardly admiring President Winnie's thoughtfulness. Although he had been forced to join the adventure team, the president's generosity warmed his heart. There was still time; he decided to head to the Goddess Temple to complete his next mission.

Stepping out of the room, Wang Xiaoyi found Alpha and Allen also coming out. Hearing that Wang Xiaoyi wanted to go to the Goddess Temple, and knowing they had plenty of time, the three of them set off together towards the temple. Sunlight shone on them, as if draping them in a golden halo, foreshadowing the adventurous journey full of challenges and wonders that lay ahead.

Elparan, a renowned trading city, shines like a dazzling jewel on the earth, radiating boundless prosperity. Behind this prosperity lies the protection of three sacred temples dedicated to goddesses: Evalyn, the goddess of life; Felona, ​​the goddess of nature; and Astraea, the goddess of the stars.

Evalyn, the goddess of life, possesses power like warm sunlight, shining upon every corner of the earth, nourishing all things and giving the world vitality and life; Philona, ​​the goddess of nature, is like the vast and boundless nature, controlling the rhythm of mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, governing the flourishing and withering of flowers, grasses, and trees, filling the whole world with natural rhythm and harmony; Astraea, the goddess of stars, is like the most dazzling star in the night sky, her light piercing through the darkness, guarding the peace and mystery of the world.

It is thanks to the careful protection of these three peace-loving goddesses that the city of Elparan has been able to prosper and become a vibrant and hopeful city.

However, during their last visit to Elparan, although they explored the city extensively, wandering through countless streets and alleys and experiencing its diverse charms, they refrained from visiting the three sacred temples of the goddesses out of deep reverence. In their eyes, the goddesses were so high and mighty, like fairies shrouded in clouds, mysterious and inviolable. The temples must be supremely solemn and imposing, exuding an awe-inspiring aura—a place so far removed from their free-spirited and unconventional nature, as if they belonged to two entirely different worlds.

This time, Brother Ren was going to the temple of the goddess of life, Avalyn. Perhaps he had an important wish to make, or perhaps he was facing a crucial decision and needed divine guidance. The others, however, didn't have anything particularly urgent to do, so after some discussion, they decided to accompany Brother Ren. Although they were filled with trepidation and unease, unsure what awaited them in such a solemn temple, they had already made their decision and could only proceed towards the temple of the goddess of life with anticipation and a touch of nervousness.

Normally, these three temples of goddesses are always bustling with activity. The temple of Avalin, the goddess of life, in particular, is often visited by countless devout believers filled with reverence. Some carry fresh fruit, its vibrant colors and enticing aroma seeming to embody the bounty of the earth; others hold exquisite gold and silver artifacts, shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight, their fine craftsmanship seemingly testifying to their boundless respect for the goddess; still others bring meticulously made fabrics, delicate and soft, just like the believers' tender and sincere hearts.

Today, however, perhaps sensing Wang Xiaoyi's arrival, the temple of the goddess of life, Avalin, was eerily quiet, almost unsettling. Wang Xiaoyi stood before the temple, looking up to see it standing solemnly and majestically, its magnificent structure resembling a silent behemoth, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. Huge stone pillars supported the towering dome, and the walls were adorned with exquisite murals, each seemingly recounting the goddess's great deeds.

A sense of awe welled up within him, and he unconsciously walked towards the statue of Avalon, the goddess of life. The statue was tall and holy, the goddess's face serene and compassionate, as if she could see through everything in the world. Wang Xiaoyi knelt respectfully and devoutly before the statue, his eyes filled with reverence and expectation. Seeing this, Alpha and Allen quickly followed suit, though a hint of doubt lingered on their faces, but in this solemn atmosphere, they dared not slacken in the slightest.

Then, Wang Xiaoyi took out all sorts of items from the system. First, there was a pile of delicious food and fun toys, including fragrant delicacies that looked and smelled amazing, as if they had been brought from a culinary paradise; and various novel toys, exquisite and interesting, like treasures from a fairy tale world. Next, he took out the beautiful women's outfit and carefully placed each piece on the altar. Alpha and Allen watched in stunned silence, their eyes wide as saucers. They wondered to themselves, just how big must Brother Renn's backpack be? How could it hold so much stuff? It was beyond their imagination.

While retrieving various items from the system, Wang Xiaoyi prayed sincerely in front of the temple.

He first picked up a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) that exuded an intoxicating aroma, held it up to the statue of the goddess, and said with eyes full of reverence, "Great goddess of life, Avalin, you are like the most dazzling pearl in this world. Your beauty is like the blooming flowers in spring. Every smile can make mountains and rivers pale in comparison, and every ray of light can dispel the gloom of the world. Your appearance is the most perfect masterpiece in this world, a stroke of divine inspiration, and the culmination of all that is beautiful."

He then presented three NDS devices, saying excitedly, "Goddess, you are sacred and inviolable. Your holiness is like a towering mountain peak that reaches into the clouds, standing firm forever. Neither the erosion of time nor the baptism of wind and rain can shake you in the slightest. Your power is like a vast ocean, deep and boundless, encompassing all living things in the world, and is the source of our eternal reverence for us insignificant lives."

Then, he turned his gaze to the neatly arranged suits of beautiful women, his eyes sparkling with admiration, and exclaimed, “Goddess, your elegance and nobility are like stars illuminating the night sky, your noble temperament is like the finest incense, permeating every corner, imbuing everything near you with an aura of nobility. Your beauty lies not only in your appearance, but also in your pure and beautiful heart, as clear as crystal. This heart is the most precious treasure in the world, worthy of our most sincere praise.”

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared on the offering table, as dazzling as a shooting star streaking across the night sky, yet fleeting in an instant. After the light faded, the delicious food, fun toys, and beauty outfits that had filled the offering table vanished without a trace, except for a nail clipper, an eyebrow pencil, and a makeup mirror. The rest of the items seemed to have been blown away by a mysterious wind.

Wang Xiaoyi was still somewhat worried, his heart filled with a mixture of tension and anticipation, completely unable to comprehend what was going on. He stood there blankly, his eyes fixed on the three items that had been left behind.

However, just then, a system notification sounded in his mind. The crisp sound was like a warm spring breeze, dispelling the gloom in his heart. Hearing this notification, his heart finally settled down. Only then did he realize that this was a divinely bestowed equipment specially left for him by the goddess.

He looked at the three items again, his expression becoming more complex. The nail clippers, though small, radiated a delicate light, as if containing some mysterious power; the eyebrow pencil looked ordinary, but it had a unique texture in his hand, as if crafted from the finest materials; and the makeup mirror, its surface gleaming as if it could reflect the soul of all things in the world. If it weren't for the system notification, he would have found it hard to imagine that divinely bestowed equipment could be these seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary items. A slight smile played on his lips, and he felt a growing sense of unease towards this mysterious and generous goddess.

Wang Xiaoyi thought to himself, "Look at Guild Leader Winnie, she's so thoughtful and considerate. Look at all the items she gave us, the precious map, and the whole bag of potions. And that clean and comfortable room, it feels so warm and cozy as soon as you walk in, as if all your fatigue can be instantly dispelled. And, the guild leader even personally leads the team to level up, her serious and responsible attitude is like a strict yet kind mentor, wholeheartedly guiding us forward."

And look at this goddess! She actually returned all the things she'd given her. The contrast is just too stark. It's like a pie falling from the sky; you thought you'd get a taste, but someone else snatched it away first.

The moment Wang Xiaoyi had this thought, it was as if he'd been struck by lightning, and he quickly stopped himself. He knew all too well that this lord's anger was terrifying; it was practically a death sentence. Like a little rabbit that had accidentally wandered into the territory of a big bad wolf, it would be torn to shreds in the slightest mistake.

He kept telling himself, "Stop, don't push your luck. Be grateful. They've already given so much. Even if they don't give anything this time, so what? We'll still have to coax and serve them. Be content. After all, being able to follow the chairman is already a great blessing."

What Wang Xiaoyi didn't know was that even nail clippers, eyebrow pencils, and makeup mirrors, once blessed by the goddess, could be imbued with divine attributes.
