Zizhou, who finally woke up from the breakthrough, discovered the difference of the scorched rice fruit.
"Jiao Miguo, have you upgraded? You look pretty good."
Zizhou held the scorched rice fruit in both hands and carefully observed the changes in it, especially the hair on the scorched rice fruit, which reflected light and had a faint warmth. It was not the usual temperature, but a kind of heat that was faintly revealed after the energy was compressed.
Jiao Miguo, whose bloodline has been changed, proudly put his hands on his waist, raised his head, and looked proud of "I have become noble".
"Hehe! Host, I have used my points to buy the gene agent of Fire Rat from the main system. This time, not only has it evolved to the Warrior level, but this gene also allows me to use fire on top of my original level."
After saying that, he looked at Zizhou with his pika pika eyes, revealing the hope that Zizhou would praise him.
Zizhou raised his hand and gently touched Jiao Miguo's head, his eyes full of tenderness. He knew very well that Jiao Miguo actually just wanted someone to care about it, and Zizhou did the same. He would also accept Jiao Miguo's occasional display of emotions.
"The scorched rice cake is really great. This is a fire rat. You will be rat on rat from now on! You have to protect me from now on~"
Zizhou winked at Jiao Miguo mischievously, but in his heart he was happy for Jiao Miguo. He felt that it was his luck to meet Jiao Miguo.
Jiao Miguo's face instantly turned red with embarrassment, but it still patted its chest and assured Zizhou.
"I will definitely protect the host well from now on!"
Zizhou kissed Jiao Miguo's forehead happily and made the promise.
"I will protect Jiao Mi Guo in the future too!"
After being kissed, Jiao Miguo shrank back in embarrassment, but still returned Zizhou's promise.
"Um!"
Then Jiao Miguo returned to his own space. Seeing Jiao Miguo go back shyly, Zizhou stopped teasing Jiao Miguo.
When Zizhou finished, it was already past five in the afternoon. The house was already filled with the smell of food, so Zizhou went downstairs.
Seeing that Qin's mother was still busy in the kitchen and Qin's father had not returned yet, Zizhou went to the kitchen to help Qin's mother serve the dishes and set the table.
Zizhou hasn't been home for a long time. After coming back today, Qin's mother specially bought a lot of delicious food to nourish Zizhou. When the last dish was almost ready, Qin's father came back and was so happy to see his son at home that he couldn't stop smiling.
At the dining table, the family finished their dinner happily. While eating the fruit after the meal, Zizhou gave a card to Qin's mother.
"Mom, take this card. There's 10 million in it. You can buy whatever you want. You can go out and go shopping or have some tea with the aunties you know. You don't have to save money. I've already transferred money to Dad's card. If you two want anything in the future, tell me. Your son is a little capable now, so you don't have to worry about him every day!"
Zizhou held Qin's mother's hand, gently feeling the roughness of her hands, and looking at the oldness on Qin's father's face. As a child, he still hoped that they would live well.
Mother Qin held the card in her hand, her eyes were red, her hands were hot, but her heart was warm. Even Father Qin felt that his son had really grown up and could stand on his own.
"What will you do if you give it to us? We just want you to be safe. The rest is not important to us!"
"That's right. You're out there alone, and there are so many dangers. You should use this money to buy more equipment. That way your mother and I can feel more at ease."
Seeing that Qin's father and mother were still thinking about him, Zizhou shook his head and comforted them.
"I still have some. You don't have to worry. You know I'm never reckless. And this time I went out to hunt monsters and gained a lot of experience. I also used this opportunity to break through to a higher level. Your son is already a high-level wizard!"
This surprise directly hit Qin's father and mother. They were so happy that they were incoherent.
"Really?! That's amazing, he's worthy of being our son. Our family has finally made it!"
"That's great. Zizhou's efforts have not been in vain. I know my son is the best!"
Zizhou was praised by his parents all night long. If Zizhou hadn't stopped them, the two old people probably wouldn't have planned to sleep and would have wanted to run around to ask for help. Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Qin restrained themselves in the end.
The Chinese New Year came not long after they returned. Zizhou's family, who had already prepared New Year's goods, also invited Mo Fan's family to celebrate the New Year together. Mo Fan originally refused, but after some discussion between Qin's mother and Mo Fan, Mo Fan agreed.
This time, Zizhou finally met the sister that Mo Fan often talked about - Ye Xinxia, a gentle and sensible girl, but because of a congenital defect, she could not walk. Mo Fan's father was an ordinary truck driver, but he was honest and upright. He got along well with Qin's father. They drank a lot during the meal.
Mother Qin naturally took care of Ye Xinxia. She only had Zizhou as her child and originally wanted to have a daughter, but she was never lucky enough to have one until now. So when she saw Ye Xinxia for the first time, she fell in love with this well-behaved girl.
Zizhou and Mofan were discussing the problem of repairing the chain, and during the conversation, Zizhou mentioned why Mofan finally agreed to come over for the New Year?
At that time, Mo Fan looked helplessly at the city outside where firecrackers and fireworks were being set off, and expressed his thoughts with envy and helplessness.
"I really didn't want to come at first. Who would go to someone else's house during the Chinese New Year? But my aunt's words convinced me and my dad as well."
Zizhou was curious. After all, in Zizhou's opinion, Mo Fan was a person who would not be easily shaken once he made up his mind about something.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
"What?"
Mo Fan didn't keep anyone in suspense.
"It's Chinese New Year, and we have to have a reunion dinner. We have to have a New Year's Eve dinner."
"My dad and I are both men, we don't know how to cook. I remember when my mom was still alive, we always had rich meals at home and celebrated the New Year with great enthusiasm. I still remember the taste of New Year. Since Xinxia came to our house, my dad and I can only cook simple meals or buy food from outside. She has never really experienced the taste of the New Year."
"You know my mom treats you like her second son. If you don't come, she will be sad this year. And we think it's more fun to celebrate the New Year together. Don't you think my mom's cooking is not delicious!?"
Mo Fan waved his hands when he heard this.
"No, I just feel like you guys are so good to us, I don't know how to repay you."
Zizhou patted Mo Fan comfortingly.
"We treat you well, not for anything in return, but because we think you are worthy. Feelings are wonderful in themselves, so why bother with them?"
"Too……"
"I heard from Auntie that you have reached a higher level!?"
When Mo Fan heard this, he was shocked. He didn't expect that Zizhou had already reached a high level.
"Don't think I don't know that you're already at the third level of the intermediate fire element. Are you still far from the advanced level?"
"Can it be the same? Although I'm at level three in the Fire Element, I feel like it's still too early to reach a higher level."
"So unconfident?"
"You think everyone is like you, and that repairing a chain is as easy as drinking water."
"Are you jealous?"
"hehe!!"
…………
The bustling city is even more vibrant on New Year's Day. Fireworks bloom with brilliant colors all night long. With the joyous atmosphere outside, family members and friends inside the house are laughing and talking. The New Year's vigor is in full swing. Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the new year and hoping for family happiness, peace and success in the coming year!
