Chapter 368: Chapter 217 Xiezhi (Thanks to the alliance leader reward from True_Summer Dragon!)

"Xiao Qin, are you heading back?" Huang Shengli noticed Qin Huai seemed a bit distracted and asked.

Qin Huai was still shocked that even Uncle Wang wasn’t human. Can Yunzhong District ever be okay again? Someday, while making snacks, the system might even tell him that Luoluo isn’t human but a Taotie.

Of course, if Luoluo were a Taotie, it must have been tough for her all these years. This amount of food would just be a light fast for a Taotie.

"Master Huang, you go back first. I’ll head back in a couple of minutes."

The students at the nearby table were just getting to a juicy piece of gossip about a certain teacher.

Huang Shengli assumed Qin Huai wanted to hear the rest of the gossip and chuckled, "I’ll head back first then. If making snacks gets tiring, come and watch for a few minutes. It’s very relaxing."

With that, Huang Shengli turned around and went back to work.

After Huang Shengli left, Qin Huai decisively opened the game’s panel to check the gallery first.

Sure enough, something new was unlocked.

Now, out of 12 galleries, Qin Huai had unlocked 7.

Surname: Wang Gen Sheng

Species: Xiezhi

Status: About to awaken

Dream: 0/?

Recipe: None

Gift: None

Xiezhi?

About to awaken?

Having only briefly read the "Classic of Mountains and Seas," Qin Huai had no impression of the species Xiezhi. He had to take out his phone to look it up and found it was one of the ten famous ancient Divine Beasts, on par with Bi fang.

"Song Shu·Furui Zhi" records: Xiezhi knows right from wrong, and justice will prevail in disputes.

It’s said that Xiezhi understands human language, knows human nature, can distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and sincerity from deceit. It is known as the Kuiyang, a symbol of bravery and justice.

It’s also a symbol of judicial integrity, fairness, and justice, illuminating the land.

After reading the stories about the Xiezhi, Qin Huai felt it was very fitting for the character.

No wonder he’s been a senior accountant for 40 years without making fake accounts or errors.

But what kind of status is "about to awaken"?

Currently, in the gallery, Qu Jing, Cheng Gong, and Gong Liang’s statuses were all "awakening," which was easy to understand, as Luo Jun had explained before. Awakening means that the spirit in this life, even without outside help, has the potential to naturally awaken.

But this awakening.

There’s only a one-character difference between awakening and awakening, but Qin Huai inexplicably felt that the awakening status seemed a bit better.

It felt as if victory was within reach, just a step away.

Qin Huai noted this special status and decided to call Luo Jun after work to ask about it.

After checking the gallery, Qin Huai started looking at the newly acquired side quest.

Side Quest:

4. [Wang Gen Sheng’s Desire]: As a professional accountant who loves reminiscing, values family harmony, and has never made a mistake or faked accounts in 40 years, Wang Gen Sheng considers his life happy and without regrets. Yet, revisiting old places and reuniting with old friends, Wang Gen Sheng suddenly remembered a long-hidden regret. He once thought it would be a lifelong regret, but when he sat in Huang Ji Restaurant eating guo’er, his heart’s desire told him he wanted to sit at Huang Ji and eat a Double Crab Bun once. Please make a Double Crab Bun that satisfies Wang Gen Sheng’s desire.

Quest Reward: [Wang Gen Sheng’s Approval], [A Memory from Wang Gen Sheng]

Looking at this seemingly complex but actually very straightforward side quest, Qin Huai felt the game system still loved being cryptic.

Sitting in Huang Ji eating guo’er and suddenly wanting Double Crab Buns, Uncle Wang’s regret was truly baffling.

However, the task itself was very clear—just make Double Crab Buns.

And the quest wasn’t urgent.

Uncle Wang’s status is quite good—he can eat, sleep, and line up, with a harmonious family and devoted children, maintaining his character and staying true to his heart, upright and fair.

He seems like a great candidate for successfully overcoming a tribulation.

Most importantly, his mental state is very stable. Compared to Gong Liang and Cheng Gong, Uncle Wang is practically as normal as one can be. Apart from liking to reminisce, he’s just like a normal person!

Qin Huai took note of the Double Crab Bun snack and planned to find an opportunity to ask Zheng Siyuan if he could make it.

Since Uncle Wang suddenly wanted to eat this snack while dining at Huang Ji, it’s likely he had it before at the State-owned Restaurant. This snack was probably made by Jiang Weijin before, and as Zheng Siyuan is his disciple’s disciple, he should know how to make it.

Having thought it through, Qin Huai went back to the kitchen to continue working.

Shaping guo’er.

The afternoon passed, and Qin Huai felt his skills in yeast and seasoning barely improved, but his Finger Skill must have improved a lot.

Since the day Qin Huai got the guo’er recipe, he felt like he hadn’t made as much guo’er in one day as he did today.

But it wasn’t tiring compared to making Three Meat Buns and Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns. Guo’er wasn’t intense at all.

This snack is challenging due to the shaping. Kneading the dough isn’t complicated, and Huang Shengli was responsible for all the fillings. After the afternoon, except for some aesthetic fatigue, there was no major issue.

The only problem was its monotony.

Qin Huai had never before spent so much time making just one kind of snack like today.

At Huang Ji, even on the least varied days, there would be at least two kinds a day.

After finishing the last batch of guo’er, Qin Huai unprecedentedly didn’t immediately clock off and rest. Instead, he started making Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls with a sense of revenge.

"Finally off work, time to relax with some Four Happiness Glutinous Rice Balls," Qin Huai said.

Tan Wei’an, who was assisting Qin Huai, looked at him with an expression that seemed to say, "I knew you were secretly working hard behind our backs, see, you can’t hide it now!"
