Chapter 51: Enchanted Sicily (4) A new...
It was a new day, the weather was clear and the humidity was just right. After struggling for two hours, the player finally got up and began his daily sword training with full energy.
The exciting battle seemed like just the day before. The player, who liked challenges but also enjoyed a peaceful time, opened a can of food for the sleepy Meowji and prepared to make a delicious lunch for himself.
After all, only when you are full can you have the energy to complete the task.
Miaoji had a very chaotic and difficult night last night - after seeing the player coming back with injuries on his face, Miaoji's face instantly became terrified, and he immediately meowed loudly, rummaging through the drawers in the room to find a medical kit, and then yelled at the player to stay put and accept his treatment.
Not only that, Miaoji used his reliable body to prepare hot bath water for the players, prepared delicious meals, cut hard-to-eat fruits, and even thoughtfully brought all of this to the bathroom for the players to eat.
The greatness of meow needs no further explanation!
**
The player who decided to let Miaoji have a good rest had just taken out the special ingredient card and was about to use it when regular knocking sounds were heard at the door.
"趙."
The player shuddered and became more spirited!
As a lone wolf player, she was the only one who would greet her like this.
"Mr. Reborn, what brings you here?"
The player washed his paws and face, opened the door, and saw a handsome face. "Have you had lunch? I was just about to make lunch. Do you want something to eat?"
Appeared! A polite remark that comes out unconsciously when faced with an awkward situation!
The Italian man, who was visiting with a formal gift, took a look at Aurora's clothes, then at her still dripping hair. He raised an eyebrow and smiled, "No need to rush to open the door. I'm always happy to wait for a beautiful lady to dress herself."
Italian men are indeed superior in this regard.
The player who had always done this said with dead eyes: "...Haha, look at what you said, please come in, please come in."
Reborn readily accepted it, then said to the player mercilessly, "You are such an idiot."
A messy room is really unpleasant to the eye.
**
As soon as he entered the door, he noticed an unusual gaze. Following the gaze, he saw a black cat, and a huge black cat at that.
"Is this... a mixed-breed cat?" Reborn asked in a low, interested voice, looking at the cat's very human and unfriendly gaze.
Cats with black fur always carry a certain mystery and weirdness, and this cat's overly human expression further highlights this.
"Meow Ji! Why are you here?" The player picked up Meow Ji and said, "Have you finished your cat food? Where's the staple food? You can't be picky about food!"
"Meow." Meowji responded quite steadily, and was ready to put on the bag and make lunch.
"Oh, Meowji has worked hard these days. Let me do it today." The player said, caressing the hard-working cat lovingly.
Reborn's eyebrows raised higher.
The player who firmly believed that this man with terrible numbers would find his own fun settled his beloved Meowji, put on an apron, and entered the fully open kitchen - there must be a sense of ritual in everything he does.
Special Ingredient Card - Capture the Level 3 Top-Grade Cream Matsutake and use it!
While putting the cooked pasta into ice water to cool it down, the player takes out the cream-colored long strips of matsutake mushrooms, slices them into thin slices with a knife, puts them into the pan and fry them on both sides until they are crispy and fragrant, then sets them aside.
The boiled pasta is rolled into a round shape and placed on a cute round plate, and players begin to fry the toppings.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and add a small amount of garlic cloves to stir-fry until fragrant, then add a small piece of butter to enhance the flavor, and finally add onions and the previously fried matsutake mushrooms, cook until thick, and sprinkle in soul salt.
Mission accomplished!
Divide the topping into two portions and place them on round plates, and your gamer's version of super delicious creamy matsutake pasta is ready!
You created a new dish: Super delicious creamy matsutake pasta.
[You have cooked special ingredients 10 times]
[Your cooking skill proficiency has increased]
"Would you like to try it, Mr. Reborn?" the player invited the elegant man sitting on the sofa.
Reborn's expression was difficult to read: ...
Creamy Matsutake Spaghetti: This is the best dish players can create, made with the special ingredient, premium creamy matsutake. It represents a further advancement in the player's culinary skills. Consuming this dish grants +5 Spirit and +5 Luck for one hour.
The pasta made with the top-grade cream matsutake mushrooms at level 3 exudes a delicious aroma of cream, matsutake mushrooms, and pasta.
The player, sitting at the side of the table, couldn't help but gulp twice, then asked again, "Really don't you want to try it? This is of rare, perfect quality!"
With such a good opportunity to get good reviews from NPCs, players still want to try their best to get it!
"Well, I really like pasta." Perhaps moved by the player's perseverance, the elegant Italian gentleman curled his sideburns and finally decided to taste the golden pasta in front of him. "Then... I'd be very disrespectful to refuse, Aurora."
…
…
"You should know why I came to see you, Aurora." After the meal, it was finally time to get down to business.
"Hey, aren't you here to visit? After all, you brought a gift?" the player replied. By the way, whose gift is actually their favorite coffee beans?
The player petting the cat was a bit careless, his mouth moving faster than his brain. After he finished speaking, he caught the killer's unfriendly look and only then remembered what he had said. "Ah, I know, I know. My bad. Sorry. Please continue."
"The Estoria family will make a big move tonight." Reborn glanced at them and handed out a folder to the girl, indicating that she could look through it. "The clues they revealed are enough to show what they are trying hard to hide. My commission should have ended here, but..."
"It's just that they violated the Mafia's code of silence, so you have to handle it yourself." After reading the document, the player looked up and asked, "Is that so?"
"Hmm." The stern killer nodded imperceptibly and let out a breath.
"...Wow, this is really exciting." said the player.
When it comes to the Port Mafia, players have never heard of such a statement. If you make me unhappy, I will just beat you up. There are no such things as prohibitions and codes of silence. Sicily is really professional. It deserves to be the beautiful, dangerous and mafia-filled Sicily.
The player decided to copy this set into Port Mafia after the copy was completed.
"Aren't you afraid?" Reborn asked.
"Huh? Me?" The player pointed at himself and asked doubtfully, "I thought I was a gangster too?"
The Port Mafia members far away: ...
"Just you?" Reborn, who had a unique tenderness towards women, was very restrained and only sneered. His face was covered by the shadow of his top hat, making it difficult to see his expression, but the players felt that he should not look very good.
Players who always feel underestimated: ...What's wrong with me?
The bottom line of not killing, abundant compassion, beautiful appearance, if this person who can only be called a girl from height to appearance did not have considerable fighting ability, she would have been eaten dry by those people without bottom line, even her bones would have been chewed up and swallowed, Reborn thought.
Even if women who possess the flame of death like Dakong can attract many followers due to their own talents and charm, they will more often face the dark covetousness and delusional possessiveness of ants and straw dogs.
And Aurora, from the moment her trace was revealed until now, has been alone.
Maybe including the cat named Meowji?
"Don't overthink these things, Aurora." Reborn's thin lips parted slightly. Perhaps it was because of the clear golden flame or the delicious bowl of pasta that he kindly warned her, "Our world isn't that simple."
"even so……"
"Even so, I'm going to go." The player had already made up his mind.
[Trigger random mission: The Secret of the Estornia Family

Player: ...What an empty request, but such a generous reward!
He was talking in a mysterious way, saying something that the players couldn't understand. The players only knew one thing - a new mission had appeared, so how could they stop moving forward?
so……
"I'm going!" the player said firmly.
"In that case..." Reborn stood up. "See you tonight, dear Aurora. Good luck."
"Oh, you too." The player said as he looked at the Spirit +5 and Luck +5 values on Reborn's head.
This is the real version of wishing you good luck.
As for the players, of course they will take advantage of this good opportunity to draw a prize and see if they can become lucky!
**
Time passed quietly as the players actively prepared, and soon, night fell -
"So, what should we do now?" The player who cooperated with the task quite well turned around and asked in black.
Reborn, now in mission mode, was a completely different person. His body was tense yet light. He crouched in a blind spot, undetectable to the enemy, his expression stern as he gazed at the so-called "underground weapons processing factory" belonging to the Estoria family in the distance. He said in a low voice, "Wait."
"Wait?" the player asked, puzzled. "Wait for what?"
How long have they been squatting here, enjoying the breeze? From five to seven, it's been blowing until their enthusiasm has cooled, until the two birds next to them are already dating, and yet the player is still here enjoying the breeze.
"Be patient, Aurora." Reborn looked at the girl as if she were a fool. "Of course, wait..."
…
The following is a short drama - the lucky hour after Reborn left home.
One hour: Moving forward without any hindrance.
Fifty minutes: Someone called to tell him that all the weapons sent for inspection have been repaired and are ready to be picked up.
Thirty minutes: He had just retrieved his weapon when he found the target he had been chasing recently but had not yet found a chance to assassinate because the target was too timid, in an Italian restaurant. There was no bodyguard around.
Fifteen minutes: I discovered that my favorite coffee shop has come up with a new and pretty good pairing.
Five minutes: Got waived because he left with his right foot.
Reborn: ...
Reborn naturally noticed this unprecedented level of luck, and thought to himself - it seems that the goddess of luck really is blessing him today.
