Chapter 37: Ox Tail
Huang Niuniu brought in a sealed box; inside, there was rice and eggs.
“How much did it cost?” Yu Han didn’t reject the goodwill. It was a simple affair. There were some chopped root vegetables with the rice. They tasted like taro. “I’ll pay for the Deep Sea’s Vitality Spite too. The ingredients must have cost a lot.”
Huang Niuniu swallowed a mouthful of rice, then washed it down with a bowl of tea. “The recipe booklet is yours. I can’t take payment for that.”
“Then in the future, I’ll give you money to buy half the ingredients. Take this first.” He handed her the Spirit Stones Hu Feng had given him.
“Okay. Did it work?” she asked.
“I gained a point in Vitality,” Yu Han said with a wide smile. The effect of the point gain was intangible yet, but he felt more energetic. Was it a placebo? He couldn’t say. “It sped up my Lifeforce recovery too. It’s like a health potion.”
“Lifeforce?” Huang Niuniu asked.
“You don’t know?” Yu Han finally found something that he could share without a Common or Imperial Script barrier. He explained what had happened when he Levelled Up.
“Have you allocated the Primordial Qi yet?” Huang Niuniu picked up another piece of boiled egg and put it in Yu Han’s bowl. She then poured him another bowl of tea.
