Faced with Bochang's request, Serval naturally agreed since it was already lunchtime.
Seeing Bochang head out, Stelle also expressed her desire to join him. The black-haired youth didn't refuse and took Stelle along to the fountain at Belobog Administrative District's Central Plaza.
Upon arriving there, it was time to use the Ethical Praise.
Let's see what treasures it might yield.
Before his transmigration, Bochang had searched for guides online and knew what items could be obtained from Ethical Praise—mostly insignificant rewards akin to scraps.
He wondered if opening it here would still result in such meager offerings.
Naturally, Bochang hoped for something valuable this time.
"Bochang, why did you come here?"
Stelle looked puzzled.
"Just wanted to take a stroll," Bochang replied. "Staying in the machine shop all day gets pretty boring, doesn't it?"
"Oh, I see..." Stelle had initially thought there was some specific reason for Bochang's presence...
But it turned out he just wanted to take a stroll.
As they approached the fountain,
[Dating Option] directly prompted the use of Ethical Praise to retrieve treasures from within.
There was no need for Bochang himself to intervene.
[Ethical Praise -1]
[Rewards being issued — Congratulations! You have obtained Jim Rogers' Bread-flavored Soda. This beverage has quite a pleasant taste and, when consumed, rapidly restores stamina. Note: Such items will...]
"This is interesting... Not bad, as I was indeed running low on stamina..."
With this item, before engaging in any fights next time, Bochang could take a sip to ensure sustained output capability.
After finishing the draw, an uninvited guest approached them.
"What are you doing here?"
The speaker was none other tDan Heng Heng, holding a broom and dressed in the black uniform of a sanitation worker. The cold-faced little azure dragon looked quite fitting in it.
Slightly surprised, Bochang asked, "Dan Heng, what brings you here to do cleaning?"
If he remembered correctly, Dan Heng shouldn't have been responsible for this area's maintenance. The stoic man replied, "Someone took leave, so I have to handle the cleaning of two districts simultaneously. That's precisely why I could..."
Realizing this wasn't an appropriate place for such a conversation, Dan Heng trailed off midway.
Bochang and Stardust understood his implication, as it had already been discussed in their group chat. Dan Heng had learned that within the Architects' organization, there was information about Stellaron, and this location was in the Administrative District...
"Speaking of which, what brought you both here? Did you uncover any new information?"
"Not really, just had some free time on my hands, so I decided to take Stardust out for a stroll. Didn't expect to run into you at all," Bochang shrugged slightly.
Bochang shrugged slightly.
Dan Heng said, "Alright, since there's nothing else urgent, I'll continue with my cleaning duties."
"Take care."
Bochang and Stelle waved goodbye, watching as Dan Heng walked away.
Compared to their own work,
Dan Heng's job indeed seemed more demanding.
Among the three of them, the simplest task likely belonged to March 7th.
Bochang and Stelle didn't linger at Central Plaza. After a brief stroll, they returned to the machine shop and resumed their afternoon tasks.
In the morning hours,
Serval was still very busy.
By the afternoon, she had some downtime and began tinkering with her musical instruments.
Despite having machines left unrepaired,
as apprentices, Bochang and Stelle didn't say anything, quietly focusing on their own work.
While repairing machinery,
they also accepted orders.
Business at the machine shop remained quite brisk.
Just as it seemed their workday was winding down, another customer arrived... Repairing machines truly never ends.
Soon, it was time to finish for the day.
Bochang and Stelle had no intention of working overtime. After informing Serval, they left the workshop.
As the designated chef, Bochang needed to go grocery shopping before heading home to prepare dinner.
With Dan Heng's provided Shield, the two browsed the market, purchasing ingredients before returning home.
By this time, March 7th had already come back. Lying on the sofa, she casually played with her phone until noticing Bochang and Stelle's arrival. She sprang up excitedly, saying, "You're finally here! It's so boring being alone at home."
"Since Stelle and I had to buy groceries and cook, we were bound to be late..." Bochang glanced around, then asked, "Hasn't Dan Heng returned yet?"
"Of course... Did you not see his message in the group chat? He mentioned finding some clues and plans to attempt infiltrating Qlipoth Fort tonight, telling us not to worry about him," March 7th explained with outstretched hands.
"I didn't check my phone," Bochang replied. "But since Dan Heng won't be back, we should only prepare meals for three then."
"Yeah, hurry up and start cooking. My stomach is already grumbling from hunger." March 7th rubbed her flat tummy.
Without further ado, Bochang grabbed the ingredients and headed into the kitchen.
Stelle intended to assist him as well, but March 7th stopped her.
Bochang began bustling around the kitchen alone. Before crossing over, he often helped at home, gaining experience in cooking despite differences in ingredients between worlds.
Although some foods varied...
There were still similarities in certain aspects.
After bustling around for nearly half an hour, Bochang prepared three bowls of diced meat fried rice, each accompanied by a bowl of soup.
It could be considered quite a feast.
If these large bowls of meat fried rice were sold at an outside restaurant, they would fetch over twenty Shields each.
As he placed the three bowls on the table,
March 7th glanced at them and remarked, "They look pretty good! Let's see how they taste!"
Sitting down eagerly, the pink-haired girl began to sample the dish with a cautious bite.
Her eyes immediately lit up.
"Not bad at all! It tastes similar to what you'd get from restaurants. Bringing Bochang to cook was indeed a wise choice."
Stelle and Bochang took their seats as well.
Unfazed by March 7th's praise, Bochang quickly finished his meal before speaking, "Since I cooked, the next task...of washing dishes is yours. No objections, right?"
"Ah?" A reluctant expression crossed March 7th's face, indicating she wasn't keen on doing the dishes.
Stelle quickly agreed, "No problem, leave it to me."
Seeing this, March 7th reluctantly consented, "Since Stelle is doing the dishes... then I'll help too."
The two girls proceeded to wash the dishes while chatting about their experiences from earlier that day.
March 7th hadn't achieved much throughout the entire day; she simply worked at the photo studio all hours. Upon hearing about Bochang, Dan Heng, and Stelle's discoveries... she felt somewhat envious.
The gray-haired girl offered a few comforting words to her.
After taking a brief rest, Bochang went to the backyard to continue practicing his marksmanship.
Although Dan Heng wasn't present,
he...
couldn't afford to be negligent with his gun training. By dedicating two and a half hours daily, he could steadily improve.
The wind howled audibly.
While Bochang was practicing his marksmanship,
Pela arrived for a visit.
"Do you have some time? I'd like to briefly talk."
The petite Pela nodded from outside the door, perhaps due to her haste today. A faint blush still lingered on her round face.
Opening the door, March 7th asked curiously, "We do have time, but what's the matter?"
