Chapter 333

Xia Zhi opened the Gold Treasure Chest. 

A golden light flashed. 

The chest disappeared. 

A small badge appeared before his eyes. 

[Heart Badge] 

Quality: Gold. 

Type: Consumable. 

Trait: Evolution. 

Effect: Can be used on a monster species. Infuses them with the power of love, allowing their bloodline to evolve. 

Hidden Effect: The stronger the user's love, the more successful the evolution. 

Recyclable: 100 points. 

Xia Zhi held the [Heart Badge] in his hand, examining it carefully. 

This badge was different from the [Transformation Badge] he had obtained before. 

It was smaller, with a heart pattern inside. 

It looked familiar. 

Xia Zhi remembered it was an item from Digimon. 

The effect description mentioned it could be used on monster species, so while it wasn't useful for him, he could give it to someone else. 

The concept of monster species was broad, including most youkai and spirit beasts. 

Characters like Ganyu, Yanfei, and Kirara could all be considered monster species. 

Adepti like Cloud Retainer, Moon Carver, and Mountain Shaper could also be classified as monster species. 

As for Diona, her bloodline was too diluted, so it was hard to say… 

Regardless, being able to evolve a bloodline was a pretty good thing. 

Xia Zhi stored the [Heart Badge] and smiled lightly. 

Indeed, opening boxes is thrilling, stress-relieving, and brings joy. 

Later that evening, Shenhe arrived. 

"Boss." 

"Coming, coming." 

Indeed, sweating is comfortable, stress-relieving, and brings joy. 

They entered the dream world. 

Shenhe silently picked up an English vocabulary book and started memorizing words. 

Perhaps because she had no opponent, Xia Ci found playing games a bit boring and started tinkering with various parts by herself. 

Xia Zhi curiously approached her. 

"What are you researching?" 

"A Kamera." 

"Improving it?" 

"Yes, first I'll add a continuous shooting function. Once the recorder is done, I'll combine them and make a big improvement, creating a camera that can shoot short films." 

"Impressive." 

"Then I'll give it to you two to play with at night." 

"..." 

Xia Zhi facepalmed. 

"Your motivation isn't just this, is it?" 

"Of course not!" 

"I believe you, not." 

"Hehe." 

"I was going to help you, but now I'll let you figure it out on your own." 

"Cousin!" 

"Don't call me! I'm not interested!" 

"Stingy!" 

Shenhe suddenly looked up and called softly, "Boss." 

"Yes?" 

"Help me with my vocabulary." 

"Sure." 

Xia Zhi walked over. 

Xia Ci immediately pointed at him. 

"Look! Look!" 

"What?" 

"Favoritism!" 

"Then grab a notebook and sit here with Shenhe to practice vocabulary." 

"!" 

The next morning. 

Xia Zhi had just opened his eyes when he saw Shenhe in his arms looking up at him. 

"Good morning." 

"?..." 

Still groggy from sleep, Xia Zhi was momentarily stunned by the sudden English greeting. Then he smiled, kissed Shenhe's forehead, and replied, "Good morning… Is learning English troublesome?" 

"Not really. Once I've learned it, I can help you translate those literary works." 

"Mm." 

Such a thoughtful girlfriend was truly adorable. 

The two of them lay in the warm bed and chatted for a while. 

Xia Zhi whispered a few things in Shenhe's ear. 

Shenhe's face turned slightly red, and she nodded. 

Then, there was no more. 

If there was anything else, it was that Shenhe's "yes" and "oh my god" had a unique charm. 

It was Sunday. 

The shop was closed, and there wasn't much to do. In the afternoon, everyone went to Heyu Tea House to listen to Yun Jin's opera. 

The tea house was packed. 

Fortunately, they arrived early, or they wouldn't have gotten seats. 

Since Yun Jin's performance of "The Divine Damsel of Devastation" at the Jade Chamber, the opera had become wildly popular in Liyue. 

The audience loved it and came specifically for this performance. They didn't seem interested in anything else, as if listening to this opera made them feel like they were part of the upper class. 

So, during this period, the Yun-Han Opera Troupe didn't perform any other operas. Yun Jin had to perform this one repeatedly, singing it several times in a row. 

The audience was satisfied and generously threw Mora as tips. 

After the performance ended, the tea house was filled with applause and the crisp sound of coins hitting the ground. 

"Boss, we're going over!" 

"Go ahead." 

Zhu Zi and the others excitedly ran to the front of the stage. 

Each of them held a bag. 

This was the Mora Xia Zhi had them bring from the shop earlier. 

No particular reason, just to show support for Yun Jin. 

Yun Jin, standing on stage, saw them lined up neatly throwing Mora and almost laughed out loud. 

Only Shenhe and Qiqi didn't join in. They still preferred quieter settings. 

Xia Zhi picked up his teacup and took a sip of Qiaoying Village tea. "Miss Yun Jin's performance today was even better than last time." 

Shenhe thought for a moment and said seriously, "I still think she doesn't sing as well as you, boss." 

"Really?" 

"Yes." 

"Haha." 

Xia Zhi laughed and put down his teacup. 

Qiqi looked at him and called softly, "Boss…" 

"Yes?" 

"Do you know how to sing this opera too?" 

"I know a little." 

"But I've never heard you sing it…" 

"Because I don't usually sing. I only do it occasionally when I'm in the mood." 

"Oh." 

Qiqi nodded, her eyes seeming hesitant. 

Xia Zhi naturally noticed. 

"Does Qiqi want to hear me sing?" 

"Yes." 

"I'll sing for you when we get back." 

"Okay." 

Qiqi's eyes brightened slightly. 

She turned to look quietly at the stage, her little feet swinging gently under the table.
