Upon arriving at the plaza, Lin Zheng once again purchased some chicken, then began making honey chicken wings. Since the amount of honey wasn't too much, and besides making healing food, Lin Zheng also had to make honey pomelo juice for mana recovery, he only made 500 servings of chicken wings this time, turning the rest into pomelo juice!
As he finished the chicken wings and started making pomelo juice, Lin Zheng suddenly paused. Why was Xia Mo, this Xiao Yatou, so well-behaved and not causing any trouble? Hmm!? What was this delicious smell? A sudden aroma of meat wafted to Lin Zheng's nose, surprising him. He looked up and saw Xia Mo swinging her little feet, holding pomelo juice in one hand and a roasted chicken wing in the other, her mouth greasy from eating, looking quite happy!
Lin Zheng's mouth instantly fell open. He watched as Xia Mo finished the chicken wing in her hand, casually tossed the bone, and it immediately disappeared. Then, she actually reached into thin air and pulled out another chicken wing! Lin Zheng immediately checked his inventory. When he made them, he had set a large quantity, and the ones he made earlier were still in the warehouse, so Lin Zheng wouldn't have miscounted! There were fewer! Of the 500 servings of chicken wings, 30 were directly missing! Lin Zheng was dumbfounded. This Xiao Yatou, she could actually take things from his inventory and eat them herself? And, how long had it been? She had actually eaten 30 chicken wings! This Xiao Yatou was too much of an eater!
Lin Zheng felt a bit of a headache. After finishing the pomelo juice, he immediately rushed to the warehouse, took out all the beef and milk, and began making yogurt and level 7 Five-Spiced Beef! After finishing, Lin Zheng carried Xia Mo down and said to her with a serious face, "From now on, you can only eat beef! Only drink yogurt! Do you understand?!"
Xia Mo didn't answer, but instead looked at Lin Zheng with teary eyes, clearly scared again, and nodded very aggrievedly. Lin Zheng immediately felt like he had become a perverted uncle bullying a little loli, deeply sinful! After silently staring at Xia Mo for a while, Lin Zheng finally gave in! "Forget it, you can eat whatever you want, but you have to tell me before you eat!" Lin Zheng said with a helpless expression. Upon hearing this, Xia Mo immediately burst into tears of joy, happily nodded, and then flew back onto Lin Zheng's shoulder!
"Master! I want to drink yogurt!" Xia Mo called out very obediently. Having a little loli call him master? Perhaps some perverted uncles would feel great, but Lin Zheng was sweating! "Change your address, you can call me anything, just don't call me master!"
"Oh!" Xia Mo responded, and immediately changed her address: "Daddy, I want to drink yogurt!"
...
Beep beep!" Lin Zheng was feeling depressed when a call notification rang. It was Yang Qi.
"Xiao Linzi, where are you? Give me some high-level cooking. I'm preparing to lead a team to raid the Wizard Tower!" Yang Qi said straightforwardly.
"Over here at the warehouse!"
"Okay, I'll be right there!" With that, Yang Qi hung up. Soon after, Yang Qi appeared in Lin Zheng's sight. Walking forward, Yang Qi immediately looked at Xia Mo in surprise and said, "My goodness! When did you get a daughter?!"
"Daddy! Who is this person?" Xia Mo asked, pointing at Yang Qi. This time Yang Qi was truly surprised, "She really is your daughter?!"
"Whose is she with?!" Yang Qi asked with a bewildered expression. Lin Zheng's eyes immediately widened. He really doubted if this guy's IQ was truly 250 as she claimed! She really was a 250! Forget it, arguing with this person was purely a waste of effort, so he pointed at Yang Qi and said to Xia Mo, "Here! From now on, call her Auntie Qiqi!"
"Auntie Qiqi!"
...
Yang Qi finally understood. This little Xiao Yatou in front of her was clearly a highly intelligent NPC, and judging by her appearance, she was very likely a beautified Poison Bee pet! But how could a Poison Bee be beautified into a Xiao Yatou? This wasn't scientific! But the situation seemed to be just that!
"Where did you abduct such a cute Xiao Yatou from?!" Yang Qi asked, "I'll go abduct one too!!"
"Abduct your sister!" Lin Zheng directly looked down on Yang Qi from head to toe. Why did these words sound so wrong coming from Yang Qi's mouth! "I picked her up in the Poison Bee Forest. If you have the guts, go pick one up too! But let me remind you, this Xiao Yatou can really eat, and it seems you don't know how to cook, right?!"
Woof~! Xia Mo cried out, hugging Lin Zheng's head in dissatisfaction and saying, "Hmph, Daddy! I really didn't eat much! You're ruining my image as a lady!"
"Just now! You ate 30 chicken wings, two servings of Five-Spiced Beef, and that doesn't even count what you drank! Is that not much?!" Upon hearing this, Xia Mo's little face flushed, and she rubbed against Lin Zheng, acting spoiled, "I was just starving! And Daddy's cooking is so delicious! I couldn't help but eat a little bit more! Just a little bit!"
A little bit!? Lin Zheng rolled his eyes, while Yang Qi's mouth was wide open, looking incredibly surprised! Such a big eater of a pet, wouldn't she eat her owner into bankruptcy?! Why bother raising her, switch to another! Yang Qi immediately made a decision: she would never raise a humanoid pet! Unless it was a super handsome male type... Uh, that would need some consideration!
Ignoring Xia Mo's pouting on his head, Lin Zheng asked, "Who are you planning to go to the Wizard Tower with?!"
"Youxi, Xiao Meng, Xiao Miao, and Tifa!" Yang Qi, having recovered, counted on her fingers. Lin Zheng raised an eyebrow, "What about Lilith? Why didn't you call her?"
"I wanted to!" Yang Qi said with a bitter smile, "Lilith is Tianshuang City's number one healer! The key is, Xiao Meng said she went to participate in young lady training!"
"Oh~!" Lin Zheng understood, remembering that Lilith had said earlier that Bai Ling had called her for training, and it seemed to be today! Lin Zheng smiled slightly, very good, Bai Ling, this Xiao Yatou, was doing well, quite efficient!
"Hmm~! I'll give you 5 stacks of red and blue each. You can decide how to distribute them when the time comes!" Saying that, Lin Zheng began trading with Yang Qi. After the trade was complete, Yang Qi couldn't help but exclaim, "My goodness! When did you become able to make level 8 ones?!"
"Originally it was level 6, but this, you know!" Lin Zheng proudly raised his purple-gold Celestial Star Shattering Moon. Yang Qi had seen the weapon's attributes in a video. Despite having the powerful Jiaotu Sword, Yang Qi still couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. Both weapons were very powerful, each with its own strengths!
"Speaking of which, to enter the Wizard Tower, you have to defeat that guard. Youxi and Xiao Meng should be fine, but can Tifa and Xiao Miao do it?"
"That's not a problem!" Yang Qi said with a laugh, "You were the first one to clear the Wizard Tower, and you don't know that the pass can be boosted? At worst, I'll spend more time helping them boost it!"
"I really didn't know that! But, if it works, that's fine. Alright, I won't delay your time anymore, go!"
Yang Qi left in a hurry, riding her Blood-colored Nightmare in a swift gallop, leaving a blood-colored phantom in Tianshuang City, looking incredibly cool! Lin Zheng watched with envy. Having a mount was so cool! Especially such a handsome mount as the Blood-colored Nightmare! Non-knight players had to wait until level 80 and third advancement to get a mount. During this time, they could only "sigh at the sight of mounts"! After a brief sigh, Lin Zheng had to get to his own business. Xia Mo was currently level 0, and he had to quickly level her up so she could help!
Opening the map, Lin Zheng searched for leveling spots. The Gray Dark Forest was directly ignored by Lin Zheng. Besides the Wizard Tower dungeon, there was nothing there that could attract him anymore. Now that he had advanced to second class, without the rank suppression, Lin Zheng could fight higher-level monsters. He looked down on the Gray Dark Forest now! Soon, Lin Zheng locked onto a map—Bei Hui Valley!
