Chapter 114 Mirror of Light and Dust
"Xiao Hui, you're back~"
Sister Mirror was the first to come out to greet us. The mirror shattered, sending up a shower of glittery fragments that, with the sunlight streaming into the room, looked like a miniature, bright silver firework display.
"Are you tired? You don't seem to have used up much of your sanity—but we can't let our guard down. Here, let me give you a massage~"
As she spoke, the shattered mirror glitter visibly began to converge, revealing a slender, tall, gleaming silver female body.
This female body has no face or skin; its form is constructed from mirror powder and light, making it appear very mysterious.
"Xiao Jing, stop teasing Xiao Hui. Let him rest for a bit."
The cook chattered away, then asked Bai Hui, "Xiao Hui, you said you brought back some ingredients? Let me see them."
Bai Hui nodded.
The three houses, each with an interior area of about twenty square meters, and an exterior that looked old with mottled walls and even dust falling off when rubbed, hung quietly on Bai Hui's waist.
Bai Hui then took it off and handed it to the cook.
"Is this the thing?"
The cook seemed somewhat disgusted after taking it.
"What's wrong, Auntie Chef? Can't we eat it?"
Bai Hui couldn't help but ask, but as soon as he spoke, he fell silent again.
He wondered when he had actually come to believe that this thing was edible!
[Realizing that her cognition has been distorted, her sanity value has decreased by 2.]
It seems that having too high a rationality level isn't necessarily a good thing; it makes one prone to overthinking.
"It is edible."
The cook said with some disdain, "With my skills, let alone this kind of expired property with overdue water and electricity bills, even a pile of shit—"
"Wrong! Auntie Chef, there's no need to compare these!" Bai Hui quickly interjected to stop them.
The cook continued, "Anyway, as long as Xiaohui wants to eat, Auntie can make sure—oh, you've even tried to understand the strange logic of mortgage slaves?"
You're not taking good care of yourself, kid—but it's nothing serious, Auntie will make you something nourishing!
As she spoke, the cook, full of energy, skipped and hopped into the kitchen, carrying three bags of money.
Amidst the clinking and clanging of kitchen utensils, Bai Hui faintly gleaned some insights into culinary principles.
What can reinforced concrete do to strengthen the body, furniture and interior design to inspire design and provide mental strength, and earthquake-resistant structures to increase resilience?
Upon hearing this, Bai Hui hurriedly said, "Auntie Cook, could you please use the leftovers to make something for me? If possible, please leave me a complete set; I'd like to use it for living—"
"Not bad, Xiao Hui, now you finally have your own property. It's a real bargain to get a house at this age, which saves a lot of time." Uncle Zhong chimed in.
Bai Hui sensed the alarm clock pattern on his chest and was slightly taken aback.
Given his circumstances, it would take him at least ten years to buy a house through normal schooling and work!
It might sound a bit extreme, but Bai Hui is only sixteen years old this year, and will only be twenty-six in ten years. In the meantime, Bai Hui will still have to go to school.
In other words, according to Uncle Zhong's assessment, Bai Hui could buy a 50-60 square meter apartment in Yuncheng within three or four years of graduating from university through his own efforts.
Thinking about it that way, it seems acceptable.
After being transformed by Uncle Chung, Bai Hui gained a year of personal time!
More time than ever before!
Bai Hui had already figured out how to use this time.
Then, Uncle Chung didn't say anything more and handed the time over to Sister Jing.
While the cook was preparing the food, Sister Jing volunteered to give Bai Hui a massage to relieve his fatigue from the past few days.
Bai Hui looked at the hazy woman with the luminous mirror-like body and wanted to refuse, but his power at the lower level of the Fiend Body Realm was no match for this seemingly light and ethereal woman.
So they had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, Sister Jing knew her limits and pressed Bai Hui's acupoints precisely with her index finger. Her unique body structure seemed to be able to freely adjust the thickness and sharpness of the pressure, making Bai Hui feel extremely comfortable.
He couldn't resist and fell into a deep sleep.
As night fell, Bai Hui woke up. After resting, his sanity level rose to 68/100, which was now completely within the safe range.
Auntie Chef's special dishes were already cooked. On the table were several steaming plates of broken eaves and ruins, as well as a palm-sized bag with obvious signs of mending. The broken mirror that Sister Mirror had given to Bai Hui earlier had also been sewn on.
-
Apart from the dining table and the sofa Bai Hui was sitting on, there was nothing else in Bai Hui's house.
Bai Hui: "————"
His first thought was that his house had been burgled.
Then I realized that Sister Jing and the others had probably moved the house while I was asleep.
As for where it was moved to, besides the house bag on the table, where else could it be?
"Sister Jing," Bai Hui sighed, "aside from the refrigerator Tian Qiyuan gave us, all the other furniture belongs to the landlord—"
"Oh, right! Then shall we move out?"
"Never mind, I'll eat first."
Bai Hui shook his head slightly, looking at the several plates of ruins, unable to bring himself to eat them no matter what. He could only switch to the [simple lines] graphics quality, which made things a little better.
The meticulously prepared house ruins, guided by the most exquisite culinary principles, were precisely dispersed into Bai Hui's limbs and bones.
He could clearly feel his muscles and bones being strengthened, and at the same time, the "mortgage slave mentality" gradually became more and more in line with him.
In the future, he could even improve his physical fitness by eating various building materials!
Treat your physical body like a building to cultivate!
This meal of "old house food" directly boosted Bai Hui's physical fitness by a full 1 point!
This significantly narrowed the gap between his physical skills and his mental strength.
But it wasn't without its side effects—Bai Hui rubbed his face, and a swamp of wall plaster immediately came off.
A kitchen knife quietly emerged from the broken mirror embroidered on the table. The blade trembled slightly, distorting perception. The slightly guilty voice of the cook rang in Bai Hui's ears.
"Xiao Hui, I'm sorry, the quality of these three sets of bags is just too great. Auntie has tried everything, but at this stage you're only at the lower level of the Body Refinement Realm, and your mental strength is limited. Eating them will cause slight signs of food poisoning."
But don't worry, it'll be fine once you digest it.
Bai Hui smiled and offered a few words of comfort to the cook.
Then I cleared away the dishes and took a look at the exquisite kitchen bag that the cook had "refined".
The apartment has a total area of 30 square meters and is fully equipped with all kinds of living facilities.
Unlike the previous "maximum utilization", this new room bag has been "modified" by Auntie Chef to have a certain growth potential. If it is well cared for, the internal space can be further expanded!
But Sister Jing said it wasn't necessary—
"Xiao Hui, you can make do with this shabby house for now. Your priority is to raise your Heart Qi to 10 points as soon as possible and bind it to your sister. Then you can live in her body~ Hehehe~"
Bai Hui: "?"
