I was so scared that I put all my points into health.
Chapter 52 Delicious Food, Praise, and the Frozen Calamity
Today was truly exhilarating! After venting her frustrations, President Winnie's mood improved dramatically, like the sun breaking through the clouds. President Winnie is the kind of person who never mistreats herself and never tolerates the slightest injustice. No matter who it is, if they dare to bully her, she will definitely not hesitate to lash them out with a whip, followed by a freezing spell to immobilize them and leave them to their own devices.
At this moment, President Winnie was in a great mood. Today had been filled with missions and duels, giving her quite a bit of exercise. Feeling a bit hungry, she surprisingly invited Wang Xiaoyi and his group to dine at a famous restaurant in Elparan City. Wang Xiaoyi instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he saw President Winnie slightly furrow her brow, the words of refusal felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat, and he quickly and readily agreed.
Guild Master Winnie suggested they go back to the Adventurer's Guild to take a shower, as they were really uncomfortable covered in sweat. So, Wang Xiaoyi and the other two went back to their rooms to change into casual clothes. As soon as Wang Xiaoyi entered his room, he wanted to find something suitable to change into. But when he saw the commoners' clothes, he found that the clothes in this adventure world were really tacky and ugly. Although his mother had prepared several outfits for him and washed them clean and neat, the styles were simply unappealing. He couldn't help but compare them to the clothes he had seen in the real world; they were definitely not as nice. Reluctantly, he chose the most basic beginner's outfit. He thought to himself that since his level was still low, perhaps when he leveled up and gained a higher status, the clothes would become more elegant and attractive. For now, he would wear the beginner's outfit; it was simple and plain, but it was acceptable in this adventure world. He could only console himself with this thought.
Afterwards, everyone gathered at the guild entrance as previously agreed. When Wang Xiaoyi arrived, he immediately saw the completely transformed Guild Leader, Winnie. She had changed into an exquisite casual outfit; the material of the clothes looked extremely high-end, the tailoring was impeccable, and it perfectly hugged her body curves, every detail exuding an understated luxury. She seemed to have been reborn, radiating a completely new charm.
Sure enough, in this world of adventure, high rank and status bring not only power and resources, but also a matching style of dress. This exquisite outfit greatly enhanced her image, making her appear even more noble and elegant.
What truly caught the eye was her new pair of gold-rimmed glasses. The gold frames shimmered softly in the sunlight, and the lenses were so clear and transparent, it was as if they could see right through the world. These glasses instantly added a touch of intellectual charm to her, subtly transforming her image.
Her entire demeanor transformed, as if she had transformed from a valiant and indomitable female warrior on the battlefield into a learned and refined scholar in the academy. A profound wisdom shone in her eyes, inspiring even greater respect and curiosity in others.
At first, Alvin and Allen were stunned. Their usually bright eyes were now filled with astonishment, like two stars frozen in place. They couldn't recognize that the radiant woman in front of them, who seemed to have changed completely, was actually President Winnie, whom they usually respected.
Alvin was the first to react, his eyes lighting up with undisguised amazement. Like a puppet suddenly released from a spell, he trembled with excitement and hurriedly exclaimed, "Wow, President, you look absolutely stunning today! This outfit is like it was tailor-made for you, perfectly showcasing your unique charm. I almost thought you were a goddess descended from heaven; I hardly recognized you!"
Allen nodded eagerly beside him, his eyes shining with sincere and fervent light, his face filled with undisguised admiration: "Yes, President. Your awe-inspiring majesty and heroic spirit have not diminished at all, but now you have magically gained this charming intellectual beauty, as if magic has suddenly taken effect, making you seem like a completely different person, even more attractive. It's truly amazing."
Upon hearing their praise, President Winnie's fair cheeks instantly flushed with a blush like the sunset. She lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering gently like butterfly wings, and her voice became soft and gentle, tinged with shyness and reproach: "All you do is spout such glib talk. Did you learn it all from Ryan?"
Upon hearing this, Alvin and Allen quickly waved their hands, looking like two children eager to defend themselves. Alvin said urgently, "No, no, no, President, that's absolutely not true. My respect for you is overflowing, and these are truly my heartfelt words." Allen nodded in agreement, his expression very sincere: "Yes, President, we really didn't mean anything fake; these are heartfelt compliments."
This time, Wang Xiaoyi didn't even need to do anything. Alpha and Allen, having been around him, probably absorbed a lot of flattery from him, and Wang Xiaoyi earned another wave of gratitude points. Now, he didn't even need to lift a finger to get a reward. How comfortable!
The food street in Elparan is truly a captivating street. Both sides are lined with all sorts of food stalls, the air filled with the sweet aroma of pastries, the rich scent of grilled meats, and the tangy fragrance of spicy sauces. The exquisite snacks gleam like colorful jewels, attracting the enticing gaze of every passerby.
Like the "Fragrant Barbecue Restaurant," where the lamb skewers are perfectly marbled with fat and lean meat; one bite and they sizzle with oil, the aroma exploding in your mouth. Then there's the "Creamy Rice Cake Shop," where the rice cakes resemble tiny, fluffy clouds, their sweet creamy aroma lingering in the air. And the seafood risotto at the "Seafood Risotto Restaurant" is truly exceptional; each grain of rice is plump and full, mixed with tender shrimp, chewy squid, and shellfish exuding the scent of the sea—every bite is a wonderful fusion of ocean and land.
The group arrived at the food street. President Winnie led the way, her steps light and quick, like leaping musical notes. Wang Xiaoyi followed behind, his eyes scanning the stalls with curiosity, as if searching for lost treasure. Alpha, his nose twitching constantly like a greedy hunting dog, led the way, barking excitedly at every enticing aroma of food. Allen, meanwhile, leisurely enjoyed the atmosphere, occasionally chatting with stall owners and asking about the recipes.
President Vinnie finally stopped in front of a restaurant called "Dream Restaurant." The restaurant's exterior resembled a fairytale castle, magnificent yet filled with a mysterious aura. Its signature dishes were "Starlight Roasted Meat" and "Dream Fruit Soup." The roasted meat was said to be marinated in special spices, and magical elements were added during the roasting process, giving it a unique magical flavor. The fruit soup, on the other hand, was made with all the fresh fruits from around Elparan City, carefully simmered to a sweet but not cloying flavor, with a subtle, refreshing aroma of magical energy.
In that fantastical gourmet restaurant, everyone sat together, the table laden with a dazzling array of delicious dishes, their aromas irresistible. Pots of fine wine were nearby, and everyone enjoyed the food and drinks, chatting and laughing leisurely, their cheerful voices echoing in the warm and inviting space.
Just then, President Winnie's gaze suddenly fixed on Wang Xiaoyi. Her voice was unhurried, deliberately drawing out the syllables of "Rain": "Rain..." Then, she slowly asked, "Is this world interesting?"
Wang Xiaoyi was enjoying a rare moment of leisure, his wine glass in hand. Hearing President Winnie's question, he paused slightly, then coughed softly after a moment's thought. He knew President Winnie was aware he wasn't the real Rein, but he wasn't sure if she knew he came from the real world. So, a faint smile appeared on his face as he replied, "So far, I've found it quite interesting. Good food, fun activities, and good friends." As he spoke, Wang Xiaoyi noticed Alpha and Allen had only had a little wine before they were already arm-in-arm, rambling on and on, which was truly amusing.
President Winnie nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Is that so?" After saying that, she didn't continue the topic, but turned back to savor her wine, her thoughts drifting away.
Wang Xiaoyi, oblivious to President Winnie's subtle emotional shift, continued enthusiastically, "I really like this world." He then took a small sip of his drink.
Upon hearing this, President Winnie gave a soft "Oh," and then remained silent, continuing to savor her wine.
Wang Xiaoyi continued, "However, I am not strong enough yet, and I cannot protect them well."
Upon hearing this, President Winnie involuntarily repeated, "Not strong enough, is that it?" At this moment, she silently pondered whether she was truly strong enough, and whether she had the ability to protect those around her. Her thoughts drifted to Castio, and a bitter feeling welled up in her heart.
When the meal and drinks were almost over, President Winnie gently put down her glass and suggested, "There's a really nice hot spring. We can go soak in it, relax, and relieve some stress. Although I've been the one doing all the work today, since I'm the president, it's my treat." Alpha and Allen cheered, "Of course we have to go!"
Everyone readily agreed and, with joyful hearts, headed together to the enchanting hot spring resort. When they arrived, the hot spring pools before them were crystal clear, and a warm breeze wafted towards them, as if it were a comfortable haven bestowed by nature.
Everyone quickly stripped off their clothes and stepped barefoot into the enchanting hot spring. The water temperature was just right, warm but not scorching, instantly bringing a sense of relaxation to both body and mind. Alpha and Allen were especially excited, splashing and playing in the water, sometimes splashing around, sometimes competing to see who could hold their breath the longest. Their laughter and shouts mingled together, growing louder and louder, as if the entire hot spring was pulsating with their joy.
However, amidst this joyful atmosphere, President Winnie chose to close her eyes and meditate in the woman's hot spring. She knew Alpha and Allen's mischievous nature well and had been patiently tolerating their antics. However, as time passed, President Winnie gradually found it unbearable. She tried to remain calm, but her inner turmoil surged like a tide.
Finally, President Winnie could no longer bear it. She slowly closed her eyes, formed a mysterious hand seal, and began chanting a complex incantation. As the incantation rang out, a powerful magical energy gathered within her body, forming a dazzling light.
In an instant, a flash of light appeared, and a powerful freezing spell was unleashed. A chilling aura quickly filled the entire men's hot spring pool, and a thick layer of ice rapidly spread from the edge of the pool, covering the entire surface of the water at an astonishing speed. Alpha and Allen, still immersed in their playful fun, were instantly frozen in the ice by this sudden freezing spell, their faces still showing expressions of astonishment.
Wang Xiaoyi, possessing master-level ice resistance, was completely unaffected by the powerful freezing spell. Standing opposite him, watching Alpha and Allen's comical frozen state, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. He thought to himself, "Serves them right!" A smug glint flashed in Wang Xiaoyi's eyes, as if he felt a touch of triumph over this small punishment.
