Chapter 312: Another Odysseus Mirror

[Side Quest: Rescue the slaves is completed

Rewards: A detailed map of the Halfling City is sent to your inventory.]

(A/N: I didn’t realize I actually interchanged the rewards on the previous chaps. Sorry about that.)

Long Haoran saw a new additional item- [Halfling City Map]. With a destroyed City, the item would serve less purpose but he wasn’t going to left himself empty-handed. There might be some hidden stuff in there.

Ding-

[Side Quest: Keep the Foodie full!]

Long Haoran remembered Xiao Hua hasn’t eaten yet. "Are you hungry?"

Chunhua was waiting for Chef Long to ask about that and nodded. "Of course and about that Chef Long, I got my hand on new little fishes ingredients."

In the threshold of the kitchen door, Haoran saw the familiar arrangement. Although there were some things missing, like the pottery jugs, the grill, the vegetables, the baskets, he couldn’t mistake it.

"There." Li Chunhua patted her hand and looked at the traditional stove and the chimney she just made. "You can cook now Chef Long."

Li Chunhua also brought out her spares of several tables, cabinets and chairs out of her own inventory. Not the ones from the Nymph Furniture Company. "I’m done."

Long Haoran slowly stepped inside and his finger grazed over the things inside while comparing them to the kitchen in his memory. Too alike...very alike...

Why is it alike?

He didn’t have a good feeling about this.

"Chef Long, Chef Long." Li Chunhua called. "Are you tired? If you are, then I can skip lunch." Anyways, she can endure one more meal and there are still stocks of cup noodles in her inventory slots.

"No, it’s alright." Towards this oddness, Long Haoran decided to keep it to himself first until he found a credible explanation.

"Then if that’s the case..." Li Chunhua cast a dirt dispelling spell on the table first before she took out the meat.

Haoran raised his chin and looked at the ’little’ fish Xiao Hua gave which were not so little as she had described.

[King Eel Meat X100 pounds]

[King Blue Fin Tuna perfectly marble meat X100 pounds]

She killed that big fish? Long Haoran raised his brows.

"I got more than 500 of the king Eel and more than 2000 of the tuna left in my inventory." Li Chunhua whispered before handing over the kelp and algae. "I also got these. I remembered you can make sushi with these."

"Indeed but making sheets of nori papers will take time. I will need to thoroughly wash them, crush them first into a pulp and make molds for drying." Long Haoran kept the kelps and algae first.

"It’s alright. I’m in no hurry Chef Long." Either way, she will still be able to eat sushi whether it’s by the sea or in the Salted Fish territory.

Due to the convenience of the picture book, Haoran only need to cook one per each dish and he can automatically produce how many he likes which Chunhua loved so much. If there was an item that can let players copy a skill from other players, this was the first one on her list.

Watching Chef Long cook had always been Chunhua’s favorite past time besides eating. Li Chunhua sniffed all the delectable scent in the air.

"Oh right Chef Long, did you perhaps lose a few dishes when cooking yesterday?" Li Chunhua remembered the squiddy meal and couldn’t help but asked and it turns out Chef Long really did and the system exchange it for her badly embroidered handkerchief!

0.0

That’s dark history!

Li Chunhua’s claws attempted to snatch the handkerchief and destroyed it to leave no evidence behind but someone had a sharp mind and stored it fast.

Chunhua’s hand paused awkwardly in mid-air retreated, "Chef Long, I have a proposition. The Aunties in the territory can make better ones, brocaded clouds, bamboos, and even dragon and phoenixes. How about we-"

"It is cooked." Haoran pretended to not hear it and placed the plates of perfectly seasoned and seared golden brown steaks eel and tuna, a big pot of karmic rice, kelp soup making Li Chunhua totally forget about the handkerchief.

Long Haoran scooped a bowl of rice for her and Li Chunhua picked up a piece of tuna and tossed in her mouth. Groaning at the delicious flaky goodness, she declared, "Now, this is life."

She quickly also scooped Chef Long a bowl of rice too, "Come on Chef Long, the food will taste good if eaten with friends." inviting him to take a seat beside her before devouring the meal.

Rita was going to check the kitchen but when she saw the two figures inside. She stepped back and decided to return hiding the small smile.

Long Haoran didn’t reject and ate slowly, also filling her bowl with steaks. In the middle, his eyes avertedly landed on her track suit that had several holes which were rolled in the ankles and arms.

Li Chunhua had discarded the ugly dress and switched to her track suit after arriving at the boat. Though it was cleaned, Long Haoran furrowed his brows. "The hanfu I made is sturdier and imbued with magic and physical defense."

"It’s so beautiful that I’m reluctant wearing it here. Maybe after were finish our mission?"

"Don’t worry about it getting torn. If it does, I’ll sew another one." Long Haoran replied making a promise.

Sew another one? Li Chunhua couldn’t help but look at Chef Long.

Remembering the complicated designs of the hanfu, she reckoned that it took a long time to make it. Thing about it, Li Chunhua only noticed the faint dark circles under the man’s eyes. "But-"

Seeing her persistence, Long Haoran’s eyes flickered. "If you insist, you can just deduct it from the gold coins I owe."

"Gold coins? That’s too low-" At least a legendary grade gear?

"The food is getting cold."

Once again, Long Haoran had successfully distracted the foodie.

Wait, there are still those pearls! Li Chunhua’s eye twinkled.

When Chunhua and the two was done with their meals, Li Chunhua gave Chef Long the memory pearls containing water-related skills like water movement and aquatic respiration, "Uncle Ron, one of those halflings on board told me about a clue of the trident. He said it’s below the halfling city, embedded on the ocean floor. You will need these skills."

Long Haoran was highly grateful for the skills.

"I also needed to look for one more seafood. There are still plenty of time before sunset, let’s go together later Chef Long." Li Chunhua walked out and when her feet reached the doorsteps, she turned around and said the location of her sleeping quarters.

Since the rooms in the ship could not accommodate everyone for now. Chef Long and her were bound to share a room. With her ice skills, she can make a double deck.

Way before Long Haoran could say another word. Li Chunhua headed to the captain’s room to changed into the azure hanfu.

Li Chunhua took put the odysseus mirror planning to see how it looks like in her when Shillo burst in her room, telling her that clammy was looking for her and it was angry.

Consumed of guilt, Li Chunhua forget to store the mirror back and left it on the bed.

On the sea, Li Chunhua saw the King Clam.

"How can you forget about me, Boss?" Clammy cried in grievance.

---

Meanhwile, Long Haoran who forgot to ask how about the method of acquiring the skills, stuffed the memory pearls in his inventory and navigated the hallways of the ships based on Xiao Hua’s previous instructions.

Upon arriving, he didn’t see Xiao Hua and instead saw a familiar mirror.

Long Haoran eyed it suspiciously before checking the inventory space wondering if he had lost the mirror and Xiao Hua found it but it turns out not because he also had identical mirror.

He compared it side by side and whilst, one of the mirror glowed. Long Haoran stared at it deeply and found his consciousness sleeping away.

(A/N: What do you think Chef Long will see? Btw, thank you for the gifts Aixaine.(✿◡‿◡) )
