16 Saying Goodbye or Not*

Rolling his eyes Xinya said, "You still on that?

"Well I'm curious you know, it's not every day you see a person fighting with a giant knife and fork, I didn't even know you could fight with them," replied Melting Snow.

"As you can see you can indeed fight with them," Xinya said twirling his weapons a bit. "I got them while getting the cooking skills."

"You do know that's a useless skill right? It's a complete waste of skill points." Melting Snow said as if he were lecturing a newb that never played games before.

Shrugging Xinya just smile saying, "Everyone plays the game in their own way, there's nothing wrong if I want to play around with cooking."

"I guess you're right and you have me, I'll help you fight and you can feed me all sorts of yummy food. I heard when someone becomes a Master or Grandmaster chef their cooking in this game will blow a person's mind and you will never care for real-life food as you once did." Melting Snow carried on excitedly.

Laughing softly, Xinya said, "It's a deal, I will cook you the most delicious food that you won't even believe I was the one that made it."

Xinya truly felt that Melting Snow was a very cute kid, and wondered if this is how having a little brother felt. He begins thinking about his soon to be little brother knowing that he would never have that familial connection with him. That brought Xinya's mood down for a moment a frown almost appearing on his face, but the feeling was erased as quickly as it came when he saw Melting Snow holding out his pinky towards him to make a promise.

A smile graced his face as he connected his pinky with Melting Snow, he started to feel something that he only felt with Wei, trust. He just hopes that Melting Snow won't let him down. After walking for a while more they made it back to town and went into the general store. The owner came over to greet them as soon as he saw them a wide happy smile became plastered on his face.

"I see that you two whippersnappers are back. Did you get all the Lapis I asked for?" The old man asked.

"Yes, here you go, all 20 of the Lapis," Xinya replied while handing him the glowing stones.

"Thank you so much, here is your reward," he said handing Xinya and Melting Snow a package. After that, he scurried away saying he had work to do and if they needed something all they needed to do was ask his assistant.

Suddenly notifications popped up around Xinya as he opened the package.

Quest has been completed. You have gained 20 bronze coins and 1000 exp.

You have gained an Item: Lapis Cut Bracelet

You have gained an Item: Lapis Cut Earring

Lapis Cut Earring: This magical spatial inventory offers a total of 100 slots for storing items. Special effect: gives +3 Strength, +3 Dexterity, +3 Intelligence, +4 Luck (only if you have the stats), +6 Max Damage, +5 Critical, and +3 Defense buff as long as you're wearing it.

After putting on the items, Xinya opened up his character tab to look at his new stats and was happily surprised by what he saw.

Xinya didn't worry about his skill points at the moment since he needed to level up his skills by actively using them before they could go to the next level. He had no time for that since he needed to get all the skills he needed before he needed to leave beginner town.

He looked over to Melting Snow who was just opening up his package, suddenly there was a shower of confetti around him signifying that he was now level. Giving a whoop Melting Snow put on the items and it seemed like he was selecting something, Xinya already knew it was the region he wanted to go to.

Once he was finished Melting Snow said, " I have ten minutes before I'm going to be transported away. I'm going to buy some items before I leave, I'm going to say bye now in case I don't see you before I leave." With that Melting Snow rushed around the store seeing if anything caught his fancy.
