Chapter 200: Stamina Stats

"I’ll let you borrow them. You can just pay them back when you can." Because he was no longer a landowner and the currency used in the trade market was supplies, his copper coins could not be spent elsewhere and the balance in his account accumulated to more than fifty thousand.

Zurui also stopped being a leech and had stopped asking him ’allowance’ which was a good sign.

But although it’s a lot, it was only equivalent to 0.5 gold coins. He didn’t know if what she said was true or not, but the helplessness in her voice was genuine. He just didn’t know how she had that amount of debt.

Long Haoran looked at other things in his inventory that can be sold to help Xiao Hua in her problem.

The items the Level 32 Lich Knight dropped besides from the silver coins were 4 spears, 2 of which were silver-grade and the other 2 were bronze quality, [Abyss Warrior Chest Plate- Silver Grade], [Abyss Warrior Gauntlets- Silver Grade], a [Small black Space Pouch-Silver Grade] that he couldn’t open, some black clothes made of unknow material, a black booklet that cannot be identified by the system and the [Orb of Requiem-Epic Grade].

Lent me?

Li Chunhua roughly estimated the total number of coins. So many...For someone like Chef Long who used his own strength without relying on cheats like her, this must be his entire fortune...

Li Chunhua’s heart warmed and almost called Chef Long ’Brother Long Aotian’ on the spot.

"Chef Long, I already have a 1000 silver coins debt to you. I couldn’t take any more of your hard-earned money." Li Chunhua pushed the pouched back pouches in shame.

She didn’t even give him salary and yet she was the one taking money from him. Baozi, although your skin is thick enough to compete with the Eastern Great Wall, don’t be shameless. What if Chef Long thinks you are a greedy dumpling and he decided to leave?

Won’t you left crying in the corner and starved to death?

Li Chunhua’s eyes widened and realized a huge problem. Right...Chef Long cooking skills is so good and the possibility of getting other job offers was very high.

’(Cue in dramatic Korean song, slow motion and autumn leaves falling around)

I found a better boss. She gives me lots of money, takes me to the inn every day to drink, play and eat. She also gives me lots of equipment, food and employee benefits. Goodbye.

And the man left his previous stingy boss and lived happily ever after, serving his new boss.

-The End.’

Li Chunhua’s mind made its own movie and played the post production scene.

No!

"Take it. I don’t need them for now." Long Haoran replied before pushing back the pouches to Li Chunhua when Xiao Hua leap on the table and circled both of her arms around his waist and hugged him.

Long Haoran stored the knife in his inventory in reflex to prevent her from getting hurt.

"No! Chef Long! Don’t leave me and be with another foodie boss! My stomach can’t take it! I’ll eat one less serving from now! I can also take you to play, drink and eat around! Just don’t leave with her!" Li Chunhua buried her head on Long Haoran’s shirt and pulled him closer.

Long Haoran was taken aback from Xiao Hua’s hug.

Her? Who is she referring too?

Moreover, why did she hug him?

The temperature coming from Xiao Hua’s palms spread on his back and climbed onto his cheeks. Memories of when she helped him treat his black eye before resurfaced in his mind.

He tried to get her off but Xiao Hua’s arms were like bolts and he was only left to rub his face that was getting redder by the seconds.

"I may not be as rich as her, or a possessing a happy fat water body as hers but I know how to sing...no what I meant was...to massage feet and back too and I also know how to be a bootlicker!"

There was an invisible steam rising from Long Haoran’s head. His arms coming into contact with the strands of her hair were also trembling.

"Alright. Alright." Long Haoran quickly agreed despite not having a clue of what’s going on.

Li Chunhua stopped yapping when she heard his agreement.

’(Cue in dramatic Korean song, slow motion and autumn leaves falling around)

And the man left his previous stingy boss and lived happily ever after serving his new boss.

But the man realized that his previous boss was better than his current boss and came back and to serve her wholeheartedly.

The End-’

(A/N: I’m sorry. The romantic scene became comedic. XD)

With the change in the post production scene, Li Chunhua withdrew her arms and returned to her seat in huge relief.

She looked up and saw Chef Long drinking two bottles of water without stopping and wiping the sweat dribbling on his forehead and his neck. "Chef Long, just tell me if there’s something you don’t like, I’ll change it or there’s something you want to drink and eat or there’s a place you wanted to play or raid. Or a person you wanted to beat up. I’ll become your main back up."

Long Haoran nearly choke while drinking when he heard the last line. He stored the empty bottles of water back in his inventory and wiped the corner of his mouth.

He then parted his lips but no answer came out, finding her earlier deeds were not hateful at all. He didn’t find any disliking aspects about her.

It took him a few seconds to gather his thoughts before he pushed the coins back and said, "Don’t think too much. I’m already a resident of this territory. Take the coins and just help me..."

Long Haoran searched for something she could help him with and remembered the wheat. He took out the [Sarape Wheat] and the quern. "Can you?"

"I can." Li Chunhua nodded and rolled her sleeves. She grabbed the quern and the bowl of wheat and placed it front of her. "What do I do?"

Long Haoran gave detailed instruction and Li Chunhua followed it. Her hands scooped a small amount of kernel and poured in on the hole on center of the quern and grabbed the handle, rotating it with carefully.

Bit by bit, flour mixed with bran came out. Li Chunhua was overjoyed.

Long Haoran stared at her for a few seconds before resuming on his task.

He set a large container on the side and poured the chopped carrots in there before grabbing another blue carrot.

Meanwhile, Elga led the stamina training and had everyone including those long-ranged classes for a marathon. 20 minutes into their run and the weakest among them was already panting.

[Status Ailments: Fatigue]

The player’s speed was affected and she fell behind the group.

Elga who was taking the lead, run back and urged the player to speed up. The other wanted to stop but Elga had them continue.

"The monster will not wait for you to recover. If you can’t stand 20 minutes of simply running without any obstacle, you’re bound to die early." Her words were not sugarcoated because she was not here to babysit.

The Player heard her the pixie’s words and realized that it made sense. She let out deep breaths for a few seconds before pushing herself to the limit, even when her legs were numb and painful.

Elga run with her and after another minute of running, she received a system notification.

[Stamina Stat is unlock.]

[You’ve gained Stamina +1]

Stamina?

"Miss Pixie?" The female player was in disbelief. She felt a part of her fatigue was gone.

"You heard it right." Elga increased her pace and left the player, outrunning the group ahead in just under a minute.

The female player looked into the distance.
