Chapter 185: Out of Order

[Congratulations on gaining Abysmal Fire (P)]

[Abysmal Fire F-Level (Proficiency 0/100)

-Increased fire skill damage by 5%. Double the effects against light-attribute targets. It can also be used in blacksmithing and alchemy.]

Will it be permitted in cooking too? But recalling how it burned his clothes, the wok and Pots will probably not endure it.

Even without the karmic fire, the plot still compensated the protagonist with an alternative. Though it’s weaker, if he practices consistently, the abysmal fire has the potential to evolve.

Long Haoran didn’t test his new skill on the spot because a pair of eyes were intensely looking at him with extra added cuteness and at the coins. "You can have it," he said before standing up and giving Li Chunhua the four pouches.

"No, I’ll just borrow. Let’s write IOU," Li Chunhua suggested. She took out a paper and pen and started writing an agreement, but before she could finish one sentence, the paper was taken away.

"No need. It’s yours, and take as much as you want." Long Haoran placed the pouches on her arms and ripped the paper.

"That would be rude of me. You were the one wounded, and I got it free. It’s unfair." She returned the pouches.

The two gluttons’ heads turned from left to right, watching them both pass over the pouches.

Long Haoran didn’t take them, and he only crossed his arms. "Then how about this? Teach me that spell you used when you cleaned the kitchen."

Li Chunhua stiffened. "Err, I’m afraid I can’t." Only those who can sense qi and reach the qi condensation stage will be able to learn it.

"Is there anything I need to do before I can learn?" Long Haoran asked. Her rejection seemed not to stem from not wanting to teach but rather from something else.

Li Chunhua nodded.

"Is it that hard?" Long Haoran probed.

"How should I say this? If you don’t pass a certain requirement, then no matter how I demonstrate..."

"Then how about another thing?" Long Haoran sensed her difficulties and didn’t insist anymore.

Li Chunhua lifted up her eyes to meet his, eager to repay the silver coins. "What is it?"

"Help me cook tonight."

There was silence in the surroundings for three seconds.

Li Chunhua blinked, making sure that Chef Long was not joking at all, before shaking her head.

Chef Long must be crazy to let her touch the wok. Isn’t he afraid of her poisoning him? Is the last time not enough to terrify him? Come to think of it, I wonder where those steaks went. She never got to try to see if they were edible or not.

"Too bad. There’s no one to taste..." Long Haoran’s eyes looked elsewhere before he said something. He didn’t need to finish his sentence.

"Kya!" (Me! Me! Handsome Brother! I can light the stove for you!)

"Ji ji ji!" (Pig, the wok will melt under your fire. How about me, Handsome Chef? I can help you slice vegetables and wash them.)

"I’m just kidding, Chef Long! I will be your assistant!" Li Chunhua immediately agreed. Free tasting? Extra meals? Count me in.

The two gluttons were full of grievance and stared at their master.

There was a smile hidden in Long Haoran’s eyes that even he wasn’t aware of.

The main purpose of their trip was supposed to be looting. Frost Cavern Dungeon was a separate place from the original boss’ lair. After picking up the loots ’donated’ by the Lich Knight, the four of them set off on another crazy shopping trip.

Using the map, the four scouted the nearby areas until they found a narrow trail full of weeds hidden within the tall grass. They walked until they reached the end of the path, which was a cave releasing cold waves of air.

[You’ve arrived at Hoarfrost Cave.]

The entourage walked inside, and as they went deeper, the temperature continued to drop. Long Haoran covered himself with fabrics. He wanted to share, but upon observing that the others showed no signs of complaining that they were cold, he stayed quiet but still draped a one-meter cotton fabric over Li Chunhua’s head.

Li Chunhua looked at him and wanted to return the fabric, but when she caught a glimpse of the space ahead, she forgot her current situation.

"It’s so beautiful," She mumbled when she saw a room filled with glass-like flowers. There were dews floating from their blue, glowing stamen and slowly flying up. Her eyes followed the tiny glass beads and saw the ice crystals in the ceiling.

The dew touched the glowing crystals and blended with them.

"Kya."

"Ji ji ji."

The two gluttons expressed admiration too.

Long Haoran also couldn’t help himself from taking a careful look.

[Hoarfrost Flowers: Grade: Third Class]

-Provides basic ice immunity against F and E-level spells. If taken directly, it can grant a random 1% boost in stats.]

[Hoarfrost Crystals]

[Hoarfrost Dews

-Pure essence of ice. It cannot be taken orally unless it’s processed by special equipment.]

Sadly, no matter how beautiful the place is, it was still not spared from the group’s looting. "This place is so beautiful...let’s make it bald!" Li Chunhua declared.

After half an hour, down to the last crystals and flower, everything was plucked, leaving another bare cave. If the ice-mutant Boss Croc had witnessed their actions personally, it would likely suffer a heart attack. The very flowers it cultivated so hard, only for the other people to be its beneficiaries,

The four left the cold empty shopping mall.

As for the Frost Cavern Dungeon...

[Dungeon is out of order. We will resume business once it is repaired.]

"..."

Long Haoran looked at the three. What did the three of them do inside to the extent that the system had to close the dungeon after the first day of its operation?

Li Chunhua and the two gluttons didn’t care a bit about the system’s losses and only stretched their limbs before suggesting going home.

Now that she has silver coins on hand, she will be able to build facilities.

Meanwhile, inside the final floor of the Frost Cavern Dungeon that seemed to experienced World War 3, the system was doing a scan of the extent of damage those troublemakers caused and when it saw the number. It’s non-existent blood pressure rose.

[Scanning Complete: Floor Damage Rate: 99%]

(╬▔皿▔)╯Grrr...These cheats should be ban!
