Chapter 127

【Quality: White】

【Effect: The cuisine made has its flavor improved by 20%!】

【Introduction: Nothing tastes better than dumplings, nothing is more fun than a spoon!】

Natsume Chikage's heart was filled with surprise again, never expecting that after breaking, this could also count as special equipment?

Although the effect being halved was regrettable.

But it was not a big problem.

The most important thing was that since it was already broken, he had more reason to get his hands on it.

At this time.

The oden old man's face turned red, and he laughed dryly a few times in embarrassment, trying to save face:

"Haha, the old doesn't go, the new doesn't come."

"It's quite good that it's broken, just in time to change to a new one."

Natsume Ruri looked at the boss trying to hold on, feeling a bit unable to hold it together, and echoed sheepishly:

"That's true..."

Natsume Chikage heard this and hurriedly seized the opportunity to speak:

"So Boss, are you planning to throw this spoon away?"

The oden old man looked at the broken spoon on the ground and sighed helplessly:

"Although it's very regrettable, it can only be like this..."

Natsume Ruri recalled his words just now and said in astonishment:

"Didn't you just say that this spoon has been with you for many years and you have feelings for it?"

But she saw the oden old man bend down and nimbly take out several identical long-handled soup spoons from the drawer under the small cart, laughing:

"I have several backups of this kind of spoon."

The Natsume siblings looked at the other spoons, the corners of their mouths twitching slightly, wondering why he was reminiscing about so many spoons just now.

The oden old man picked up the broken spoon and complained with some annoyance:

"It's a pity that garbage needs to be classified, it seems I can only wait until closing time to throw it away."

In Japan, there are strict regulations for garbage classification.

Once thrown incorrectly, it is very likely to be complained about by the neighborhood committee, and in serious cases, it may even be fined.

This happened to be exactly what Natsume Chikage wanted, and he immediately volunteered:

"Let me help you throw it away, Boss, I want to go next door to buy some drinks anyway."

The oden old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

"Little brother, you are quite kind, but forget it."

"I'll do this kind of thing myself, it's not right to trouble you customers."

Natsume Chikage sat up and shook his head with a smile:

"It's no trouble, it's just a matter of convenience."

"Give it to me."

The oden old man saw his persistence, thought about it, and didn't decline anymore, saying gratefully:

"Thank you."

Saying that.

He handed over the spoon that was broken into two halves.

Natsume Chikage held it in his hand and turned to ask his sister:

"What do you want to drink, Ruri?"

Natsume Ruri's face immediately bloomed with a sweet smile:

"Strawberry milk!"

Natsume Chikage nodded, then left the shop temporarily.

As soon as he got out of the shop, the broken spoon in his hand became slightly hot.

【You have obtained the ownership of this item, do you want to register this equipment?】

【Yes/No】

Looking at the information appearing before his eyes, Natsume Chikage was secretly happy and chose 【Yes】 without hesitation.

【Registration successful!】

【Distance to the next attribute point reward, still missing two pieces of special equipment!】

Great!

Now that two more are missing, he could get rid of the annoying "delay" of this body.

【Do you want to equip 'Oden Immortal's Damaged Tang Shao'?】

【Yes/No】

Natsume Chikage was also curious about the specific presentation of this effect, so he chose 【Yes】 directly.

There were no conditions for making cuisine at the moment, so he planned to test it after going home.

Soon.

After buying the drinks, he returned to the oden shop.

At this time.

Natsume Chikage handed the iced strawberry milk to his sister and sat down opposite her.

The oden old man also happened to place two bowls of steaming, fragrant oden in front of them.

"Eh, why does it seem like there are more radishes and fish balls inside?" Natsume Ruri looked at the bowl with clearly more portions and said in surprise.

The oden old man laughed, his voice loud:

"Just now, little brother, you helped me throw away the spoon for free, anyway there are not many customers tonight, so take these as extra gifts for you."

Natsume Chikage was stunned for a moment, then nodded very politely to thank him:

"Thank you."

Natsume Ruri also put her hands together happily:

"Thank you, Boss!"

And when Natsume Chikage picked up the chili powder on the table and sprinkled a little into his oden, his movements paused abruptly.

A prompt flashed before his eyes again:

【Cuisine made successfully, the flavor of the oden is improved by 20%!】

？？？

Natsume Chikage was confused, does adding a little chili powder also count as "making cuisine"?

This judgment is too casual, right?

He looked down at his bowl of oden dotted with red chili powder, hesitated, picked up a piece of fried tofu soaked in soup, and was curious what kind of taste it would be after the flavor was improved by 20%.

He took a light bite.

In an instant, a richer layer of taste exploded on the tip of his tongue.

"Delicious!" Natsume Chikage couldn't help but open his eyes wide; this taste was much more wonderful than any time he had eaten before!

"Ruri, adding some chili powder is better."

While saying this, he took his sister's bowl without saying a word, helped her sprinkle a little chili powder, and stirred it gently with chopsticks.

【Cuisine made successfully, the flavor of the oden is improved by 20%!】

Natsume Ruri actually rarely eats spicy food.

But since it was her brother's suggestion, she was willing to try it.

She picked up a plump fish ball, took a careful bite, and immediately covered her small mouth, looking at Natsume Chikage in surprise:

"What's going on, it feels much better than when I ate it just now!"

Natsume Chikage smiled without saying a word; he didn't expect that the effect of this special equipment would be triggered so simply and directly.

But on second thought, he was able to get this piece of equipment so easily this time, thanks to his sister.

If it weren't for her praising the spoon for being sturdy, the oden boss wouldn't have performed that "fancy trick" out of pride.

As for the progress of collecting special equipment, now that the demand was reduced by one, it meant that he only needed to find two more to get the next attribute point.

This was undoubtedly an unexpected joy.

Perhaps, his sister is his lucky star. ===== CHAPTER 128 =====
