[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

Chao Ke naturally understood what his older sister meant, and quickly went to brew her a pot of hot tea and then put it on the table.

"Tell me, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Sis, can't I come see you if I don't have anything to do?"

"When you weren't asking me for help, your footsteps were much more arrogant than they are now. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Chao Ke sighed softly, conceding defeat. "I want to ask you for another person."

Arecino became slightly more serious. "The same request as last time?"

"One more requirement: you need to know a little bit about cooking."

Arecino tapped her long fingers on the table as she considered potential candidates.

After a long while, he pulled out a piece of white paper from the table and wrote some information on it.

However, after finishing writing, Arecino did not hand the paper directly to Chao Ke. Instead, she turned the paper face down and looked at Chao Ke with amusement.

Chao Ke felt a little uncomfortable under Arecino's gaze. "Sis, what are you going to do?"

"Come here, let me feel comfortable."

Chapter 38 Carles, your daughter is really something!

"Pop!" "Pap!" "Pap!"

"Hmm~, move a little slower, it hurts a bit~"

"it is good!"

Outside the office, Linni stood there blankly, clutching a document she was about to submit to her father.

But is it really appropriate to go in now?

Um...

Just as Linni was about to step aside, the office door was suddenly opened from the inside.

With a slightly tired look on his face, Chao Ke walked out of the office, clutching the "earnings" in his hand.

Lady Arecino inside the house had not only taken off her coat, but her face also seemed to still have a flush that hadn't faded.

Chao Ke patted Lin Ni on the shoulder, intending to explain, but after thinking for a moment, he didn't speak.

Just look at the traces at the scene, and you'll probably understand why Linni is such a sly fox.

The master masseur in my country is doing "proper" massage.

Outside the Bufati Mansion, Chao Ke took out a cigarette from his pocket, intending to take a couple of puffs to soothe his tired body.

Unfortunately, Officer Meilushin, who happened to be passing by, was not a good match. She stood with her hands on her hips and glared at Chao Ke with a "I'm so fierce" expression.

"Here you go, Mr. Chao Ke. Smoking is prohibited in the public areas of Fontaine."

Left with no other choice, Chao Ke handed over all the cigarettes he was carrying to Officer Meilushin and received a moral lecture before being let go.

Although Abedo's nieces are small, they can be quite fierce when they get serious.

Chao Ke took a deep breath, stopped thinking about it, and took out his earnings from his pocket.

My older sister gave me a list of two people this time, and she also wrote down their information briefly.

Both of them were from the Winter Solstice people, and they were also brother and sister.

The older brother's name is Dwight, and the younger sister's name is Jadi.

When the brother and sister were young, they moved to Fontaine with their parents to do business.

Unfortunately, both of their parents passed away in an accident.

So Dwight took his younger sister and went to live with the fireplace.

After the two came of age, they were not selected by the Fools' Special Forces due to their poor aptitude, and were instead assigned to carry out infiltration missions.

Their target was none other than the Rose of Fontainebleau.

After Dwight and his sister Jade successfully joined the Rose Society, they were assigned to the Rose Society branch in the Grey River District to run a small restaurant for the society.

Over the years, the brother and sister haven't intercepted any valuable intelligence, but they have developed excellent cooking skills.

This perfectly suits Chao Ke's needs.

To make it easier for Chao Ke to contact the brother and sister, Arecino specifically wrote down the restaurant's name and address.

I glanced at the sky; the sun had just set.

Chao Ke decided to make a trip to Grey River now to finish dealing with the central kitchen issue as soon as possible.

Following the entrance to the Grey River area next to the Jiaziwei Restaurant, Chao Ke jumped down step by step.

"boom!"

With a soft thud, Chao Ke landed steadily on the territory of the Gray River District.

The damp smell of water plants and a faint musty odor in the air dampened Chao Ke's mood.

Manipulating the power of the water element, it guides the water element around it outwards.

Not only does it prevent clothes from getting wet from sewage, it also makes the surrounding air much drier.

After consulting with several locals, Chao Ke finally caught a glimpse of his destination.

The Water Village Restaurant is run by siblings Dwight and Jacqueline.

Perhaps because it was past lunchtime, the restaurant in the water town was deserted from a distance, with only a few customers enjoying their meals inside.

When Chao Ke approached, he was slightly taken aback.

Among the people dining at the water town restaurant was actually an acquaintance of Chao Ke.

Of course, this acquaintance is one-sided. Chao Ke is very familiar with her, but she probably doesn't know much about Chao Ke, since the two have probably never officially met.

This familiar face was none other than Navia, the young lady of the Rose of the Thorn Society.

Today, Navia wasn't wearing her signature yellow dress, but rather a more understated blue casual outfit.

Miles and Silver were nowhere to be seen; instead, he sat alone in a corner of the restaurant, muttering something to himself.

That's why Chao Ke didn't recognize Navia immediately.

As Dwight pushed open the restaurant door, he was jolted awake.

It seemed that they recognized Chao Ke's identity, so they quickly straightened their backs and came closer, intending to listen to Chao Ke's demands.

But Chao Ke waved his hand, indicating that Dwight didn't need to come forward and should just remain normal.

After Dwight returned to his original position, Chao Ke plopped down opposite Navia.

Navia was slightly surprised and looked at Chao Ke. "Who are you?"

"Good evening, little Navia, ooh—"

Before Chao Ke could finish speaking, Navia covered his mouth with her left hand.

Navia also made a "shh" gesture with her right hand, signaling Chao Ke to be quiet.

Chao Ke nodded, indicating to Navia that he understood, and only then did the young lady lower her hand.

Navia quickly glanced at the two remaining diners in the restaurant and breathed a slight sigh of relief when she realized they weren't paying attention to her.

"Keep your voice down, I snuck out without my father's knowledge. If he finds out I ran away at this hour, he'll kill me."

Navia whispered instructions to Chao Ke.

Chao Ke's lips twitched. "Young lady of the Rose Society, you should be more careful."

Did you really not realize who the man sitting across from you is?

Chao Ke didn't believe that Carles hadn't shown Navia his information.

But judging from the fact that this girl openly told Chao Ke that she had sneaked out,

Navia genuinely didn't recognize Chao Ke's identity as a member of the Fools.

It’s also absolutely amazing.

There are only six people in this restaurant right now, including Chao Ke, three of whom are members of the Fool Clan.

It's no exaggeration to say that Chao Ke could take Navia anytime he wanted.

Will they tie him up and threaten Carles, or film "The Runaway Rich Girl Tragically Enters the Enemy Country's Spy Den, Silver Fall..."?

These are no longer things that Navia can decide on her own.

Of course, although Chao Ke wasn't a good person, he didn't stoop so low as to bully a little girl.

Navia is only a fourteen-year-old girl, and her mind is not yet fully developed. In addition, she is well protected by the elders in the society, so it is understandable that she is less wary.

Actually, Navia is quite cute; she's kind-hearted and interested in many things.

Most importantly, the girl is shy; her face turns bright red after just a short chat.

Chao Ke couldn't help but sigh.

Carles, your daughter is wonderful!

It's quite moisturizing!

Chapter 39 Navia: I only saw him as a caring older brother...

As the conversation deepened, Chao Ke steered the topic toward Navia, asking her why she had run away from home.

According to Navia, she had another argument with her father in the afternoon because she didn't want to grow up the way he expected her to. The father and daughter had a big fight.

After Carles left in a hurry, Navia changed into a set of casual clothes and took the opportunity to sneak out for a walk to clear her head.

Chao Ke expressed his understanding, saying that it's normal for teenagers to be a little rebellious.

Moreover, although Navia ran away from home, she still had some sense of propriety.

For example, their activities were limited to the vicinity of the Thorn Rose Society's branch, and even when they had a meal, they chose the [Water Town Restaurant], which was controlled by the Thorn Rose Society.
