I'm a male god in Liyue

The first stamp is used when a product is sold, and the second stamp is used when a customer collects seven different cups. Both stamps use special dyes, so we don't have to worry about customers trying any tricks.

After finishing the carving, Xia Zhi put away the remaining jade material so that if he accidentally damaged or lost the mahjong tile in the future, he could carve a new one to replace it.

"Alright, I'll teach you how to play mahjong. Normally, it's played by four people."

"Boss, there are only three of us!"

"It's okay, three people can play too. I'll teach you how to recognize the cards first."

Xia Zhi casually picked up a card, ran his fingers over the surface to feel the engravings, and then flipped the card over.

"This is the Three of Bamboo. You see, it has three round circles. It's easy to recognize, right?"

Yes!

"There are four of these. You see, there are four vertical stripes. They're easy to recognize, right?"

Yes!

"This is 70,000. You see, it has Liyue numbers on it, right?"

Yes!

"This is the North Wind tile. We don't use these wind tiles when playing Sichuan Mahjong, but we do need them when playing Japanese Mahjong."

"Sichuan hemp? Japanese hemp?"

"These are two different Mahjong rules. Sichuan Mahjong is simpler, while Japanese Mahjong is more complicated. I'll teach you Sichuan Mahjong first."

"Oh!"

It took Xia Zhi a few minutes to teach them the basic rules of eating, ponging, and winning, and then they played two rounds together.

"how do you feel?"

"It's quite interesting (not bad)!"

"It's good that you've learned it. Let's stop here for tonight. We'll play again tomorrow when we have four people. If the weather is bad in the future, we won't go for a walk outside at night. Staying in the shop and playing mahjong is also a good option."

"Hmm! The boss can play this card game too! I'm going to the kitchen to boil some water!"

After taking a shower, Xia Zhi saw two girls standing at the bathroom door, just like the night before.

"I'm going to rest now. Although tomorrow is a holiday, someone still needs to get up early to go to the market to buy groceries."

"We remember! Goodnight, boss!"

"Good night."

Xia Zhi returned to his room, lit incense, and took out the [Hourglass of Time] and the [Enhancement Crystal].

I tried to strengthen it five times in a row, and all of them failed.

A 1% success rate in evolution is indeed too low; we can only rely on repeated attempts to achieve it.

Xia Zhi collected them, refined two portions of [Joyful Incense], went to bed, entered the dream world, and began collecting extraordinary materials.

Just as he entered the eighth dream bubble of the night, he suddenly heard a system notification sound.

"Progress bar has reached 100%, and you have received the Golden Treasure Chest reward."

Xia Zhi paused for a moment, then realized that the golden progress bar on the female ghost in the real world must have finally been filled.

The incense burned every night was not wasted.

The system can also be used in the dream world. Xia Zhi took out the golden treasure chest from his inventory and chose to open it.

A string of wooden beads appeared before his eyes.

Bodhi bead string

Quality: Gold.

Type: Assistive devices.

Characteristic: Zen meditation.

Effects: Turning the prayer beads brings a calm and tranquil mind, which can dispel inner demons and eliminate karmic obstacles.

Hidden effect: Increases damage against evil spirits by 20%.

This beaded string has an effect similar to the [Calming Pill], but it is more powerful.

It not only calms the mind and stabilizes the spirit, but also has the added Buddhist effect of eliminating inner demons and karmic obstacles.

For those who have been caught up in excessive fighting and burdened with karmic obstacles, this should be considered a treasure.

Xia Zhi looked at the [Shop], where it was priced at 300 points.

It's quite expensive.

But for him, this thing is currently of no use other than calming his mind.

Xia Zhi took out the Hourglass of Time, reversed time, restored it to a treasure chest, and opened it again.

A shiny coin appeared before his eyes.

[Resurrection Coin]

Quality: Gold.

Type: Disposable prop.

Characteristic: Resurrection.

Effect: When you receive fatal damage, you can consume this item to revive on the spot with full health.

Hidden effects: None.

It turns out to be a rare item that can revive you.

Xia Zhi checked the [Shop] again. This item could also be bought there, priced at 500 points, which was much more expensive than the previous [Bodhi Beads] string.

It's good, I'll keep it.

Xia Zhi put it away and continued exploring the dream world.

With this coin, it's like having a second life. If he has enough points, he can buy more in the [Shop], making his development stage much more stable.

Chapter 129 A Little Strategy

The next morning, Xia Zhi went downstairs and found the shop empty; neither of the two girls were there.

They must have gone out to buy groceries together.

After washing up, Xia Zhi went to the kitchen, opened the cupboard, and saw that there was a lot of leftover food.

Zhu Zi, being a foodie, deliberately put in extra rice when she cooked last night, thinking she would have golden fried rice again this morning.

Xia Zhi brought out the leftover rice, broke up the grains, and took out a few eggs, setting them aside for later use.

Then he sat in the front hall, took out a piece of snow-white jade and a carving knife, and waited while he carved.

About half an hour later, Zhu Zi and Shen He returned from grocery shopping.

"Good morning, boss! What are you engraving?"

"Here, the little white rabbit."

"so cute!"

Xia Zhi smiled and put down what she was holding.

What groceries did you buy?

"There are eggplants! And cucumbers! And lotus root slices and cabbage..."

"Why are there so many vegetables?"

"I thought my senior sister might come over today, so I bought some extra vegetables to have on hand."

"Indeed."

"I also bought some meat and fish."

"Okay, put it in the kitchen first. I'll make you an eggplant casserole and braised fish for lunch."

"Ok!"

Zhu Zi put the vegetables in the kitchen and saw the leftover rice and eggs on the cutting board. Her eyes lit up and she immediately ran to the stove to start a fire.

Xia Zhi walked in, washed her hands, and began making golden fried rice.

Cooking requires both hands, and the Culinary Master skill is categorized as a two-handed skill by the system, and will be blessed by the hidden effect of the Shadow Gloves (+100% effect on two-handed skills).

Xia Zhi's own direct feeling is that she is more adept at cooking.

However, the deliciousness of the dishes was not significantly improved.

Perhaps it will take until he becomes a true culinary master for the dishes he makes to undergo a further qualitative change in taste.

After finishing breakfast, Shen He went to wash the dishes.

This was a tacit understanding between her and Zhu Zi: one was responsible for tending the fire, and the other for washing the dishes.
