Chapter 210: The Enhanced Silver Armor

"So pretty...I’m going to eat that." Li Chunhua appeared besides him like a ghost and declared.

(ˉ﹃ˉ)

Long Haoran spun his head and when he saw her eyes fixated on the dumplings.

Xiao Hua likes it too? Long Haoran asked in his head.

"Chef Long, can you make other shapes too?"

"I can." Long Haoran replied right away, not minding the additional work.

Then on next few hours, someone molded the rice balls, wontons, and dumplings into cute shapes: rabbit, bear, star, flower, and other kinds.

But Li Chunhua’s favorite was this one, a pot sized pig dumpling, her kindred spirit. She helped Chef Long in making this one.

Long Haoran carried the heavy dumpling and placed it on the improvised steamer. "Because of its size, we need to steam it for one hour."

"No problem. I’ll just wait here." Li Chunhua sat a meter by the stove and fanned the flames.

Long Haoran returned to the table and only glanced at her from time to time in case she burned the kitchen again.

(A/N: I hope to meet a man like Chef Long in my life. XD)

[You’ve received a message from your friend, Great Romantic Sage.]

[You’ve received a message...]

Long Haoran opened the chat inbox which was marked with 99+ messages from his brother.

He opened one.

[Great Romantic Sage]: Who’s this person? Brother, you know the era of today is no longer like in the past. Don’t be deceived by those cosplaying fellow who acts coy and has a nice feminine voice but had more muscles than you.

[Dumpling Duke]: What are you saying? Speak in a normal language.

[Great Romantic Sage]: You forgot to close the chat and I was forced to listen to you teach someone how to knead and rolled and cough...Brother, isn’t it a little too fast? You don’t even know if the other side is genuine or not. Recently, someone found an item and shared it in the global chat. He said it can change a person’s gender. So be careful!

Long Zurui was eating dog food for the span of one hour listening to the two love birds.

[Great Romantic Sage]: I’m just thinking about your sake. I don’t want my Brother with zero love experience be heartbroken in the end. Trust me brother, it hurts a lot. Those dudes crushed my heart and until now it was still recovering.

[Dumpling Duke]: You’re thinking too much. Xiao Hua is a little sister to me.

Long Zurui’s eyes popped out. This brother of his actually called someone like that?

[Great Romantic Sage]: Who’s Xiao Hua?

Suddenly, a face appeared beside his brother.

Oval-shaped face, apricot blue eyes, button nose, thin lips, smooth and white skin complexion. His mind pictured out the girl calling him Rui’gege.

"Chef Long, who are you talking too?"

Li Chunhua couldn’t see the screen and only hear Chef Long seemingly talking to someone.

Long Zurui’s heart beat fast.

It’s a loli and the voice is so pleasant to hear too, like a kitten scratching his heart. So this is Xiao Hua?

[Great Romantic Sage]: Introduce me Brother!

Long Zurui fixed his appearance hurriedly for the video call, only to be met with rejection. His Brother closed the tab without mercy and went offline, leaving a single-word message.

’Sleep’

Long Zurui was speechless: "..." This brother of his is not a good assist.

In the kitchen, Long Haoran answered her question. "Just my brother, he was speaking in a different language."

"Oh." Li Chunhua returned to her spot near the stove.

Long Haoran looked at Li Chunhua, then her shoulders, arms, and legs. What’s so bad about growing some muscles? He doesn’t mind it.

Waiting was never included in Li Chunhua’s line of skills. Just after 15 minutes, she already dozed off and she only woke up to the delicious scent wafting under her nose.

When she opened her eyes she was no longer on the kitchen and inside the bed room. The memory of the pig dumpling sprang to her mind and she rushed to the kitchen, just in time to see Chef Long lifting the lid of the steamer.

[Steamed Dumpling with Ice-Mutant Silver Back Raptor and Hoarfrost Veggies Fillings- Dish Rating: SS

-Strength +20%. Stamina +20%. Immunity to Ice and Fire A-Grade spells and below. Duration: 30 Minutes. Permanent Fire and Ice Resistance +5%. Permanent Increase of Strength and Defense of 2%. Buff effective at consuming every 250 grams.]

Long Haoran had prepared another one to swap for her to consume he was afraid this would turned out poisonous and harm her and it was wise decision because he got another life-saving talisman.

Recalling the de-buff, Long Haoran’s expression changed.

"Chef Long, can I eat it?"

"Just a little. Saved the rest for the tide." Long Haoran gently pushed the plate towards her.

Li Chunhua smelled the dumpling and only ate a 500 g of it. "It’s so good. The skin is slightly chewy and sweet like those gluttonous rice. The meat is tender, juicy and the vegies still retain their crunchy texture and it complimented the meat. The seasoning only enhanced the flavor more, but Chef Long, how come there’s this smoky taste, similar to a barbecue?"

Long Haoran replied, "I used the wood of the Emberward Trees."

"Incredible, firewood can also affect the flavor?" Li Chunhua wasn’t aware of this knowledge.

"Yes, oak, hickory, maple and cherry are excellent choices for cooking..." Long Haoran explained.

Li Chunhua listened like a good student.

After Li Chunhua finished her portion, she placed three plates on the table. She took a clean dagger and was about to cut her dumpling.

"What is that for?" Long Haoran saw her taking out a knife and three plates.

"For Brother Siri, Little Mantou, Little Lotus, Little Ginseng, and Elga." Li Chunhua replied.

"Keep it. That’s yours." Long Haoran dragged the plates in front of him and placed the small cute dumplings and rice balls on them. "You can give this to them."

At the chance of getting to keep her dumpling, Li Chunhua nodded and delivered the snacks to the living room.

With her gone, Long Haoran sorted the food.

---

In the living room when the tired gluttons saw the snacks, they when to hug Li Chunhua’s thighs and cried, "Master, you still remembered our sacrifice."

"Don’t thank me. These were Chef Long’s craft." Li Chunhua cleaned a section of the table and placed the placed along with the three iced happy fat water before occupying the seat.

Of course it’s Chef Long’s handiwork if it was their Master, the food would be poisonous.

Little Mantou said so in his mind before gobbling up the food.

Meanwhile, Li Chunhua stored first the papers inside in her inventory and took out the silver armor and the blueprint, laid them on the table.

Using her fingers as a pen, she gathered her qi on the tip and gently carved all the patterns on its body.

After 30 minutes of drawing, her chicken feet scribbled masterpiece was born.

[You’ve acquired skill ’Beginner Rune Carving’.]

[Silver-Back Raptor Leather Armor- Gold-Grade]

"Gold Grade!" Li Chunhua was shocked because her ugly drawing could actually upgrade the quality of gear.

The properties were still the same when it was silver grade but there was an additional line.

[-Speed of regeneration of Stamina and HP from facilities increased by 200% and Effects of any healing skills cast or any HP recovery items used by the wearer doubles...]

(⊙ˍ⊙)

Li Chunhua hurriedly stood up and run towards the tailoring shop, and entered the workshop. "Give me all the gears."

If she can carving on the greaves and bracers too, then the effects would be more or less 600%!

The Aunties were startled by her arrival but still welcomed her inside.

There were already gears finished on the side and when Li Chunhua magically upgraded their quality and granted another buff, the Aunties looked at her, flabbergasted by the situation, especially at the drawings on the silver leather that were crook and ugly to look at. Is this some kind of advanced technique?

Throughout the rest of the night until 4 in the morning, the Salted Fish residents were busy working on their tasks.

When morning came, everyone had huge dark circles under their eyes. They only need to bite on bamboos and they would pass as pandas.

(A/N: Darn my back hurts, I’m getting old XD.)
