Xia Zhi thought about it and decided it was worth a try.
He opened the potion, brought it to his lips, then suddenly remembered something, activated "hidden mode" for himself, and drank it all in one gulp.
A moment later, the drug took effect. Xia Zhi gritted his teeth and held on for two seconds before collapsing to the ground.
Then, no more...
To be honest, it's a good thing he was in "hidden mode," otherwise Shen He in the next room would have broken through the wall to check as soon as he heard the noise.
Xia Zhi lay helplessly on the ground, her eyes somewhat unfocused, her pajamas soaked with sweat.
He gasped for breath, struggled to raise his hand, and cast a Holy Healing spell on himself. After a long while, he finally had the strength to sit up from the ground.
The system is so honest; it calls it terrifying pain, and it really is terrifying.
I'll skip it next time.
Xia Zhi opened the character panel and found that his maximum mental value had actually doubled.
Although the pain it causes is terrifying, the improvement it brings is also terrifying.
With his maximum mental energy level doubled, he can now produce twice as many incense sticks per day, and his points income from this will also double.
It's definitely worth it.
Xia Zhi shook his head, raised his hand and cast a [Warmth] spell to remove the sweat from the ground and his own body.
Afterwards, he went out in "stealth mode," went downstairs, took a cold shower in the bathroom, washed his pajamas, dried them with the [Warmth] spell, put them on, and returned to his room.
After completing the minimum living allowance application, I collapsed onto the bed, exhausted, and went to sleep.
In his dream world, he saw little Shenhe waiting for him.
"Big brother!"
Xiao Shenhe threw herself into his arms.
"Let's go! Let's go treasure hunting together again tonight!"
Looking at her sweet smile, Xia Zhi felt instantly healed.
Who cares if it's micro-management or not.
As long as it's cute, that's all that matters!
Chapter 199 Senior Sister, You Came at the Wrong Time
The night passed.
It's Friday again.
Miss Gan Yu finished her official duties at Yuehai Pavilion early today, went home to change her clothes, bought some fresh fruit, and came to Summer Shop to find Junior Sister Shen He to enhance their relationship.
"Junior Sister Shen He!"
"Senior Sister Gan Yu."
Shen He looked up at her and nodded slightly.
Although her junior sister remained expressionless as always, for some reason, Gan Yu, relying on her dual sixth sense as a woman and a mythical beast, seemed to sense that her junior sister Shen He was not very happy about her arrival this time.
There was a strange feeling that I had come at the worst possible time and had interrupted her good time.
It must be an illusion, right?
I must have worked too much overtime this week!
I absolutely must get a good massage from Mr. Xia tonight!
Gan Yu walked into the store, put down the fruit she had bought, and greeted the other people with a smile.
"Miss Gan Yu, is the instant noodles alright?"
"It's delicious! I haven't been hungry at all these past few nights while working overtime. Thank you, Mr. Xia!"
"You are welcome."
“I also gave two boxes to Baishi, and she said Ningguang likes them very much too.”
"Oh? When did it happen?"
"It was Sunday, the night my junior sister brought me instant noodles."
"That day..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi's expression turned somewhat strange.
He remembered that Ningguang suddenly came to the store for juice on Monday.
It happened to be the day after she had eaten instant noodles.
Could it be that Ningguang's sense of taste is blocked and she can't eat regular food, so she came to the store to mooch some snacks?
Xia Zhi recalled the scene of having lunch at Grandma Ping's house yesterday. Ning Guang seemed to have eaten quite a lot. Originally, he just thought that she couldn't resist the master-level glowing cuisine, but now it seemed that she was starving.
Miss Gan Yu's kindness is truly...
Xia Zhi couldn't help but chuckle.
Gan Yu stared blankly at the smile on Xia Zhi's face for a moment.
She felt that Mr. Xia looked especially handsome when he smiled today.
Gan Yu quickly snapped out of her daze, averted her gaze, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
what happened?
I must have worked too much overtime this week!
Xia Zhi noticed Gan Yu's unusual behavior and felt somewhat helpless.
Gan Yu is not the first girl to behave this way.
This is because he is equipped with [Bloodline Embrace].
[Charm +10%, and the effect of Charm is doubled when applied to the opposite sex.]
This morning, as soon as he came downstairs and greeted them with a smile, Zhu Zi and Diona inexplicably blushed.
Shen He and Qi Qi were fine, their expressions didn't change much, but he could sense that they were looking at him more often than before.
When the store is open for business today, the female customers who come in can't help but look at him.
Even Ningguang stared at him for a while in the afternoon.
Ah, this irresistible charm...
night.
Xia Zhi gives Gan Yu a relaxing massage once a week.
"So comfortable..."
"Ms. Ganyu."
"Ok?"
"Compared to last Friday, you seem to have gained a little weight."
"Huh?! Really?!"
"Yes, but she's only gained a little weight, Miss Gan Yu, don't worry."
"Woo..."
"It's probably because you've been eating instant noodles every night this week. Eating late-night snacks can really make you gain weight..."
"I know that's true, but instant noodles are just too delicious, I can't resist..."
"It's okay, just be more careful next time."
"Ugh... How about... Mr. Xia, you give me a slimming massage too? I don't think Zhu Zi has gained any weight."
"Yes, that's possible, but the price for a full-body massage..."
"I'll pay more!"
"Row."
Then there is no more then.
If I had to say something, it would be that Ms. Gan Yu's slightly chubby figure feels amazing to the touch.
She's even better than her junior sister Shen He.
After the massage, Gan Yu was covered in sweat and blushed as she ran to the bathroom to take a second shower.
A faint fragrance lingered in the air of the back hall.
Like her junior sister Shen He, Gan Yu also has a natural fragrance.
It smells good.
After taking a shower, Gan Yu went upstairs to Shen He's room, pushed open the door, went inside, sat on the bed to rest, and took the opportunity to savor the afterglow of the full-body massage she had just received.
After a while, Shen He finished hanging the clothes out to dry behind the house and returned to his room.
