Chapter 126: Lucky Star!

Inside the oden shop.

Under the warm light, the steaming heat filled the narrow space with a rich aroma.

Natsume Chikage brought his sister Natsume Ruri to lift the warm curtain and walk in.

"Welcome—it's you, little brother."

Behind the counter, the kind-faced oden old man was busy, and his face was immediately filled with smiles after seeing them.

"This time you have a cute little girl beside you, this should be your sister, right?"

Natsume Chikage was slightly surprised:

"How did you see that?"

Natsume Ruri also blinked her big eyes and looked at the boss curiously.

The oden old man wiped his hands with a towel, recalling the situation of Natsume Chikage and that Fujiwara Aoi being a pair of ignorant lovers yesterday, and then looking at the huge height difference between the two now, it would be strange if he couldn't see it.

He laughed:

"I've been serving customers for so many years, I still have this bit of discernment."

"What do you want to eat today?"

Upon hearing this, Natsume Chikage and Natsume Ruri leaned close to the steaming grid pot and skillfully ordered a few items they loved to eat.

However, just as the boss was serving the food for them, Natsume Chikage's gaze froze abruptly.

He was stunned to notice that the dark soup spoon in the old man's hand actually emitted a faint, special light that only he could see.

A few lines of illusory text floated before his eyes:

【Oden Immortal's Tang Shao】

【Quality: White】

【Effect: The cuisine made has its texture improved by 40%!】

【Introduction: I've been making oden for more than thirty years, you dare say my oden doesn't taste good? Don't say anything, you stretch your head over first!!】

Natsume Chikage was stunned for a moment, then an uncontrollable ecstasy surged in his heart!

He was currently in urgent need of special equipment to obtain attribute points.

The one in front of him was simply an unexpected joy.

He thought for a moment and decided to find a topic to close the distance first, taking the initiative to strike up a conversation:

"By the way, Boss, the oden you make is delicious; how many years have you been making oden here?"

The oden old man smiled confidently while putting the food into the bowl:

"There isn't a single person in this neighborhood who dares to say my oden doesn't taste good."

"After all, I've been doing it for more than thirty years; it's a difficult thing to make it taste bad!"

Natsume Chikage sweated slightly on his forehead, thinking it was actually thirty years?

What the introduction said might be true...

As for why no one dared to say it tasted bad, it was likely that if they said it, they would really be asked by the boss to "stretch your head over"...

He coughed twice and led the topic to the target:

"By the way, this soup spoon of yours looks like it has some years on it; Boss, have you been using it for a long time?"

A look of nostalgia appeared in the oden old man's eyes:

"Yes, it has been used for a long time."

"When I first opened the shop, this soup spoon has been with me until now."

Natsume Ruri echoed obediently on the side:

"It seems to be a soup spoon with history."

"But so many years have passed, it still looks quite sturdy, I think the quality should be good."

The oden old man was made to feel comfortable by these words and laughed:

"That's not it, the quality of this soup spoon is very good."

Saying that, in order to prove it, he held the spoon handle quite proudly and swung it hard in the air a few times.

But it was just such a swing.

"Click!"

A crisp breaking sound rang out.

That soup spoon, which had weathered the wind and frost, actually broke into two halves directly from the middle.

With a "clatter," the front half fell to the ground.

The smile on the oden old man's face froze instantly, and the whole person petrified on the spot.

"Ah this..."

Natsume Ruri was also stunned, sweating on her forehead in embarrassment.

"Uh..."

Natsume Chikage was like being splashed with a basin of cold water, then felt a deep sense of helplessness.

A rare piece of special equipment was actually swung and broken by the boss himself?

No...

He looked closely and found that the faint light on the broken soup spoon had not dissipated, and the text description was also updated accordingly:
