42: C42 Progression

C42 Progression

After sending Xiao Liu off, the three of them returned back home.

Only after examining Ye Hong's body from top to bottom to confirm that he was not hurt did Ann Xiaoying then let out a sigh of relief.

However, she pulled the back of Ye Hong's torn shirt and asked curiously, "Strange... How is your body completely fine even after your clothes were torn apart like this?"

Ye Hong knew that it was definitely the effects of his beginner-level recovery ability.

He touched his back and sure enough, there was not a single wound left behind. Seeing how it became as smooth as before, he could not help but marvel at how powerful the system was.

After promising his parents that he would never do such a dangerous thing again, Ye Hong was finally allowed to go back and rest in his room.

Late at night, Ye Hong was lying on his bed, unable to fall asleep. Having just experienced so many things in a single day, his heart was still pounding non-stop from the adrenaline.

Not only had so many things happened to him in one day, but his abilites had also improved by several bounds.

Ye Hong quietly brought up his current attribute panel to have a look at his stats.

Less than a week after obtaining the system, he had already awakened dozens of abilities, and amongst them, there were more than a dozen that had already reached the Proficient-level.

Those abilities included the knowledge of various subjects, cooking ability, flirting skills, driving ability, hearing, and various others.

After each ability had been upgraded to the Proficient-level, obvious improvements could be seen of the abilities.

Taking the incident today as an example, he would not have been able to easily catch up to the two kidnappers if it was not for the miraculous effects of the system, deriving from his proficiency in hearing and driving.

"My next goal is to strengthen the rest of my abilities to the Proficient-level as soon as possible!"

That night, Ye Hong slept soundly like a hibernating bear after his long day.

"…"

On the same night, however, many people found it difficult to sleep.

Having tasted the supreme beef noodles for themselves this morning, the delicious taste remained in their mouth — never to be forgotten for a long time.

"No! I must record this experience!"

A young man picked up his cell phone and posted his experience at Midnight Snack to his circle of friends.

That night, that one post circulated from his circle of friends through various other ones around Anming County.

The post was titled: "If you haven't eaten this beef noodle before, you have no right to say that you're from Anming!"

Peaked with curiosity, everyone who came across the post opened it was saw a picture of an extremely appetizing bowl of beef noodles.

The post below was all about the author's personal experience of tasting the supreme beef noodles.

From the appearance to the fragrance and to the taste… Each and every aspect of the bowl of beef noodles was praised like some sort of national treasure.

At the end of the post, the author even wrote his own statement: "Having been alive for so many years, I have never tasted such delicious beef noodles ever before. After thinking about it for a while, it would be a waste to keep such delicacies to myself — buried in the alleyway. Thus, I would like to share it with everyone, whether in my circle of friends or strangers from other parts of the county."

As soon as his post was uploaded, it was shared throughout social media countless times.

Moreover, many of those who had tasted it in the morning had also commented on the post.

"Author, you should come out and have a 'good' chat with us about life. I swear to god, if I don't my share of the beef noodles tomorrow, I will personally come over to your house to beat you up!"

"Damn, I promised my wife that I would line up for her at five in the morning tomorrow. It looks like I have to go at four o'clock now! Curse you!"

"This bowl of beef noodle soup is indeed worthy of the word, 'Supreme!'"1

"Everyone, don't believe the author's words. He's simply making things up ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"

"…"

Many people's first reaction was one of disbelief. After all, it could just be some sort of review that was being exaggerated by the author of the post.

However, there were still quite a few people who were aroused by the desire in their stomachs and were prepared to give the noodles a try tomorrow.

Under such circumstances, the other article titled, "Young Hero of Spring Market — High School Student Catches Two Kidnappers," was quickly overshadowed.

The next day, Ye Hong woke up to the sound of his alarm clock set to five in the morning.

[Ding! Good quality sleep... Vitality: +1…]

While his parents were still deep asleep, Ye Hong crept downstairs to the kitchen to experiment with his new pastry recipe.
