Chapter 101 - So why were you squatting in a group of zombies? (3)

Bei Nuan first looked at the name of the task, Holy Mother's radiance task.

That seemed okay. At the very least, it wasn't weird like the Holy Mother's kissing task.

Bei Nuan opened the task's description. It was densely packed with words. She had a headache just looking at it.

Bei Nuan simply asked Little Three about it, "What do I have to do for the Holy Mother's radiance task?"

"You're finally willing to talk to me?" Little Three was still a bit aggrieved.

“This is a mandatory task that has to be done in 24 hours, the requirements of the task will change at the 12 hour mark," Little Three explained, “The target person will change every 12 hours. During this time, acting like a holy mother in front of the male protagonist won't increase your holy mother value, but you'll gain double the holy mother value in front of your target."

Bei Nuan tried her best to understand. "So you're saying I don't have to act like a holy mother in front of Lu Xingchi during that time frame. Instead, I have to perform for others to see?"

So she didn't have to chase after Lu Xingchi for now?

"That's right,"Little Three answered and emphasized, "And, it's a mandatory task. If you don't increase your holy mother value in front of the target character, you'll be punished."

"Also," Little Three continued, "Within the next 12 hours, the target has to praise you for being kind, otherwise you'll lose any holy mother value you gain during those 12 hours."

"Got it, I just need to get that person to praise me." Bei Nuan asked, "Who's the target person?"

Before she could finish speaking, the first 12-hour countdown had popped up. Below it, written in small print, "Target person at this stage: Jiang Fei."

Bei Nuan looked at the Jiang Fei from a distance.

Jiang Fei was busy in the kitchen at the back of the small cafeteria. Noticing that Bei Nuan was looking at him, he gently smiled at her.

There was electricity and running water here, and it was convenient to do anything.

Jiang Fei couldn't stand to be idle. After he had finished eating, he asked Bei Nuan to take out a bunch of ingredients from her pocket space. He was making the most of this time by prepping ingredients. Once he was done washing and cutting them, they would be stored back into the upper layer of Bei Nuan's pocket space for future use. It would be much more convenient to have pre-wash and pre-cut ingredients to use when cooking on the roadside.

He had silently taken over the job of feeding the team from Bei Nuan, which saved her a lot of effort. Most importantly, he was an excellent cook.

Since he was the target of her Holy Mother's radiance task, she naturally had to hang around him to find opportunities to increase her Holy Mother value.

Bei Nuan went over to the kitchen and helped him wash the vegetables. She also boiled a lot of water and put away blocks of hot water and cold water in her pocket space.

When Lu Xingchi came out of the shower, he saw Bei Nuan and Jiang Fei working together in the kitchen. The sun was shining on them through the kitchen windows, and the kitchen scene was as picturesque as a manga scene. Even Lu Xingchi was stunned by the beautiful image.

Jiang Fei was smiling with his head lowered to talk to Bei Nuan, "Do you like your braised eggplants cut into strips or into wedges?"

Bei Nuan clung onto his arm to get a closer look. "Can you cut them into small cubes?"

"Sure." Jiang Fei played with the kitchen knife like it was a dagger. He twirled the kitchen knife and sliced the eggplants as fast as lightning. The sliced eggplants all had the same dimensions as if he had used a ruler to measure them when cutting.

Bei Nuan looked on in surprise and envy. "Jiang Fei, you're so amazing!"

Lu Xingchi silently stood there for a moment before turning around the corner to enter the kitchen.

He walked over to Bei Nuan, placed his hand on her head, and softened his voice to ask, "I'm done showering. Do you want to go take a shower?"

Bei Nuan was reluctant to leave. She was enjoying herself watching Jiang Fei's knife skills.

Lu Xingchi slipped his hand down to touch the bottom of her hair that was as soft as a baby animal's tail. He tilted his head and carefully looked. "Looks like your hair is due for a wash."

Ah? Really?

Bei Nuan quickly grabbed the bottom of her hair to study it for a moment. Soon after, she left in a whoosh.
