Daily tasks of mistakenly brushing tasks on the spot

Bai Ke did not buy anything expensive because he knew the store manager's character and understood that the other party would definitely not accept such a gift.

So in order to avoid pushing it back and forth, Bai Ke just bought some delicious fruits and a bag of slightly expensive tea as his gift.

After finishing the gifts, Bai Ke left the street and headed towards the bookstore.

The bookstore was not far from here. Bai Ke crossed a few streets and saw it. He quickened his pace and soon arrived at the wooden door.

Some old doors made an old, harsh friction sound as they were pushed open.

When I walked into the store, what I saw was no different from when I left. The old manager was sitting at the counter, drinking tea and reading a book, just like before.

Looking at the familiar scenes in the store, all the memories of his previous stay here came to his mind, making Bai Ke feel as if those scenes had just happened yesterday.

Because it was early in the morning, there were not many customers in this old bookstore. No... apart from the manager, there was another person in the bookstore.

This is a young man, wearing a white T-shirt and black trousers, with messy hair and an ordinary face. At this moment, he is holding cleaning tools and cleaning the store.

At this moment, because of the sound of the door opening, the old manager subconsciously moved his eyes away from the book and looked towards the door.

It was just this one glance, and I couldn't move my eyes away.

"Manager, I'm here to see you."

Looking at the stunned old store manager, Bai Ke walked up to him, smiled, and whispered.

"Come... it's good that you're here."

Looking at the unharmed young man in front of him, the old store manager couldn't help but murmur, and as he whispered, a sparkling light appeared in the corner of his eyes.

"Little Bai, let's talk in the back."

The old store manager quickly calmed down and noticed his current appearance, so he immediately changed his words, turned around and walked to the back while speaking.

Looking at the store manager's back, Bai Ke opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

"When you get older, you become a little sentimental."

He walked through the curtain to the back of the bookstore. After the old manager closed the door behind him, he reached out to wipe the traces from the corners of his eyes and sighed.

Looking at the closed door behind the counter, Bai Ke remained silent. At this moment, he didn't know... how to face the old store manager.

At this time, a young man who was cleaning nearby noticed Bai Ke and couldn't help but look at him curiously. However, after looking for a few times, he saw that there was nothing interesting, so he continued with his work.

Although they only exchanged a few words, Bai Ke could clearly feel that the old store manager had been worried about him during the more than one month since he left.

This made Bai Ke feel guilty. He realized that he was indeed negligent because he was obsessed with the desire for power and forgot his original promise.

As a result, more than a month had passed and I hadn't come to the bookstore once to report my safety to the old manager, causing him to worry for so long in vain.

Although Bai Ke's heart was filled with guilt, making him unsure of how to face the old manager, his body was only slightly sluggish for a few seconds, and then he took a step and walked towards the back of the bookstore.

Bai Ke came to the side door, gently pushed it open, and walked in.

"The old store manager..."

Bai Ke closed the door and turned around to see the old manager standing beside him. He opened his mouth but only uttered these words.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go to the back and talk."

The old store manager didn't care about Bai Ke's expression. He stroked his short white beard and then spoke.

"Okay, store manager."

Bai Ke responded.

So, the two of them walked one in front and one behind, gradually passing through the corridor and heading towards the yard at the back. However, when they passed the kitchen, the old store manager who was walking in front stopped.

"I'll pour a pot of tea, and we can go to the pavilion in the backyard and chat while we drink."

After the old manager stopped, he turned around and said something to Bai Ke, then he walked towards the kitchen.

Bai Ke wanted to step forward and take over the job of making tea, but looking at the old manager, who was walking with determination, he finally did not say anything and just watched quietly.

The store manager's method of making tea was very simple. He first poured the hot water in the thermos into a kettle, placed it on the magic stone stove, and turned on the fire to boil the hot water.

Then, the old store manager took out a teapot from a cabinet nearby, and then took out an old tin can from the cabinet. He took out some ordinary tea leaves from it and put them into the teapot.

Next, just wait for the hot water in the kettle to boil.

"Manager, I'll put the gift here."

Seeing that the old store manager had stopped working, Bai Ke then noticed the gift in his hand, so he put it on the dining table next to him and said.

"it is good."

The old store manager in the kitchen responded, then he looked at Bai Ke and asked:

"Is the item you bought expensive? If it's too expensive, I won't accept it."

"Don't worry, store manager. I just bought some fruit snacks and a can of tea. They're not that expensive. I hope you don't mind."

Bai Ke answered after hearing this.

"That's good... That's good..."

The old store manager nodded with a smile, and then he replied: "I am very happy that you can come to see me, so how can I be dissatisfied with the preciousness of the gift."

At this time, the hot water in the kettle next to it had already boiled, and the sound of boiling water gradually came out, and the sound became louder and louder because of the big fire.

Hearing the sound of boiling water, the old manager stopped talking to Bai Ke. He turned aside, first turned off the stove, and then picked up the kettle.

Coming to the prepared teapot, the old manager slowly poured the hot water in the kettle into the teapot.

As the boiling water was slowly poured in, the tea leaves in the teapot rolled in the boiling water, and at the same time, stimulated by the hot water, a faint tea fragrance diffused.

When the tea was about to reach the top, the old manager stopped pouring water. He put the kettle aside, then picked up the lid and put it on the teapot.

After going through this series of events, the tea was brewed in a very short time.

Next, the old store manager took out two glass cups from the cabinet nearby, which were the glass cups used for drinking water. Then he picked up the teapot and walked outside.

Bai Ke was very perceptive. Upon seeing this, he went to the back door of the bookstore first and opened the door. Then he pulled the curtain aside to make it easier for people to pass through.

After the store manager left, Bai Ke followed closely and entered the backyard.

The backyard was surrounded by high walls as before, with a small pavilion on one side and carefully cared-for flowers planted in the middle. However, as it was already autumn, many of the flowers were showing signs of withering.

Because it was early morning, the air in the backyard was a little cold, but not much colder.

Bai Ke and the store manager came to the backyard and stopped in the pavilion, preparing to sit down there.

The store manager placed two cups on the stone table, then brought the teapot closer and was about to pour tea.

"Manager, I'll take care of pouring the tea."

Standing opposite the store manager, Bai Ke saw that the other party was about to pour tea for him, so he immediately spoke out to stop him.

As he spoke, Bai Ke stepped forward and took the teapot. With a tilt of his wrist, the boiling hot tea, carrying the tea leaves, fell into the cup, exuding a rich tea aroma.

“You…”

The old store manager shook his head, but he didn't say anything and just sat down on a stone bench nearby.

The boiling hot tea stopped at four-fifths of the glass, and then this process was repeated until the tea in the other cup was poured to the same position.

"Manager, have some tea."

Bai Ke put down the teapot in his hand, then handed a cup of tea to the old manager, and then he took his own cup of tea and sat opposite him.

The old store manager blew on the tea in the cup, then took a sip. The scalding hot tea made his body feel warm, dispelling the slight chill brought by the surrounding temperature, and made him squint his eyes comfortably.

After drinking the tea, the old store manager looked at the young man opposite him and asked:

"Little Bai, how have you been these days among the followers of the goddess Hestia?"

"Manager, I am doing very well. I have a very harmonious relationship with the Lord God. In addition, a new companion has joined our clan these days. She is now my supporter, so you don't need to worry about me. I am doing well."

Bai Ke took a sip of tea like the old store manager and swallowed it. After hearing this question, he opened his mouth and gave his answer.

"As long as you are doing well."

The old store manager nodded with a smile on his face, and then he continued to ask:

"Did you encounter any special situations or accidents while exploring the dungeon?"

"I have been advancing steadily in the dungeon and have not encountered any accidents. Although I have encountered special situations a few times, I have not been in danger."

Bai Ke opened his mouth and answered.

"That's good... That's good..."

When the store manager heard these words, he nodded with some satisfaction, and then he began to give instructions:

"In the dungeon, you must be careful and cautious, don't be careless, and make all kinds of preparations for each exploration. Don't be bothered..."

When the store manager started lecturing, he was like a machine gun, not stopping for even a second.

Bai Ke did not feel impatient in the face of the store manager's chattering. He listened carefully and nodded from time to time to indicate that he understood.

When the cup of water was almost finished, the old store manager stopped talking. He drank the remaining tea in the cup and finally said seriously:

"Little Bai, I have never had the courage to be an adventurer in my life. These suggestions are just hearsay. You can believe some of them, but not all of them. You need to judge for yourself and find a balance."

After saying this, the old store manager paused for a moment, organized his words, and continued:

"However, the two key points of caution and carefulness in these words are absolutely correct. You must keep these two points in mind while in the dungeon."

"Manager, don't worry. I have always been cautious and will not take risks unless it is absolutely necessary. I have kept these two points in mind. I will never take risks easily unless it is absolutely necessary."

As Bai Ke gave his answer, he stood up and refilled the store manager's empty cup with tea, and also refilled his own cup.

"In that case, I feel relieved."

Hearing this, the old store manager nodded. Now he was relieved. Then a mysterious smile appeared on his old face, and he asked in a low voice:

"Little Bai, how is your relationship with your Lord God developing?"

"Uh...what?"

The store manager's words confused Bai Ke and made him stand there in a daze, not understanding what the other party meant.

"That...that...has there been any progress in the matter between you two? Have you expressed your feelings? Has your Lord God accepted it?"

The old store manager saw Bai Ke stunned and looked a little unresponsive, so he couldn't help but make a face and said.

Hearing what the store manager said, Bai Ke almost spit out the tea he had just drunk subconsciously, but fortunately he managed to hold it back in time with his willpower.

In this way, you can avoid spraying tea on the face of the old man, the store manager opposite, which would be an embarrassing scene.

"Manager, why do you ask that?"

Bai Ke swallowed the tea in his mouth with difficulty and then asked.

"Didn't you join Goddess Hestia's family because of her beauty? How has your relationship improved over the past month?"

The old store manager said this with some sarcasm. The way he looked, the tone of his voice and his expression at this moment made him look like an old pervert.

"Manager, who told you these things? My Lord God and I are innocent, and there is nothing wrong with what you said."

Bai Ke asked speechlessly.

"I knew you were too shy to admit this."

The old store manager smiled and said that he did not believe Bai Ke's answer, but thought that the young man was too shy.

"But who would choose to join a newly founded clan? So you must have your own purpose for joining this clan. And Goddess Hestia has nothing else to offer except her beauty that surpasses that of mortals."
