New Attribute Reward Received

Li Zhiyan felt that he was still far too naive!
He should not have held any illusions about this heavy drinker; expecting her to cook was simply out of the question.
Those delicate, slender fingers of hers did not look like they belonged to someone who knew her way around a kitchen.
"Alright, Aunt Lai, is there any food left at home?"
"There should be. There ought to be some in the fridge."
Li Zhiyan tied an apron around his waist and went to check the kitchen.
Inside the refrigerator, there was some celery and pork.
There were also a geoduck and an abalone, which had been placed together.
Li Zhiyan decided to throw them all together into a chaotic stew.
He only had a rudimentary understanding of cooking, so making it taste genuinely delicious was clearly a bit of a stretch.
Therefore, he would just have to rely on a miracle through sheer brute force!
...
A little past ten o'clock, Li Zhiyan brought the dishes and the steamed rice out to the dining room.
The system reward, [Master Masseur], had also been credited.
However, Li Zhiyan did not pay much attention to this new attribute.
"Aunt Lai, time to eat!"
Lai Feifei walked over lazily in slippers. Standing at 160 centimeters tall without high heels, she looked petite and delicate, yet her slender frame and ample curves were truly striking.
She had a way of making it impossible for anyone to look away.
"Li Zhiyan, not bad at all, you made this."
After sitting down, Lai Feifei offered her praise.
Shortly after, she went to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine. Li Zhiyan thought that Aunt Lai genuinely could not live without alcohol, but right now she was in good health, and her last checkup showed her indicators and internal organs were completely fine.
Drink all you want then, my lovely Aunt Lai.
"Aunt Lai, have a taste."
After Lai Feifei picked up her chopsticks and took a bite, she gave Li Zhiyan a thumbs-up.
"Fantastic, Xiao Yan."
"If you ever don't want to go to work anymore, come cook for me at my place. Auntie will pay you a salary."
For a moment, Li Zhiyan could not quite tell whether Aunt Lai was joking or if she really had never tasted any good pork before.
Still, if he could spend every single day with Aunt Lai, just thinking about it felt like bliss.
Li Zhiyan truly loved the feeling of being around Lai Feifei; every moment with her made his imagination run wild.
After breakfast, Lai Feifei let out a yawn.
"Baby Xiao Yan, Auntie is going to go rest now."
Li Zhiyan knew that the alcohol was kicking in, which was why she was using that nickname again, but it was also time for him to leave.
After all, the awkwardness from last night had not entirely faded away.

"Well, Aunt Lai, I'm heading off to work now."
After Li Zhiyan left, Lai Feifei watched him depart from the window, feeling a wave of shyness wash over her as she recalled what she had done last night.
She had even been hands-on with him in the taxi.
In the end, she had made him stay and sleep with her. Although they hadn't done anything, men and women were still different after all.
She had simply fallen asleep listening to the sound of his heartbeat for the entire night.
"Lai Feifei, what on earth have you done..."
"That previous time was because I thought I was dying, but last night..."
Thinking of Li Zhiyan's formidable qualities, she could not help feeling a flutter of agitation in her heart.
"I'm never drinking alcohol again!"
With that, Lai Feifei drained the red wine in her glass in one gulp.
Then, she dug out a pair of nail clippers from her bedside table and began trimming the nail of her middle finger.
...
Having decided not to go to work for the morning, Li Zhiyan headed straight to the lottery shop.
Today, he was going to secure a solid profit of one hundred thousand yuan!
Li Zhiyan had won a two-thousand-yuan prize at this very lottery shop once before, so the owner had a fairly deep impression of him.
"Young man, buying scratch cards or Lotto?"
"Scratch cards, of course. I don't believe in those other lotteries."
Li Zhiyan had indeed seen people win at scratch cards, but standard lottery tickets were something he only ever heard about online, so he didn't believe in them for a second.
"This stack, I want this whole stack of scratch cards."
The owner handed the two stacks of scratch cards to Li Zhiyan with a beaming smile. Fools like this were simply too rare; the return rate for scratch cards was only around fifty percent.
He had just gotten lucky last time, yet he really thought he was the God of Gamblers!
Maybe he would even burst out a few thousand gold coins for him today!
Many gambling addicts started out by winning money.
After paying and taking the scratch cards, Li Zhiyan began scratching them off. While he was busy, he saw Xu Qianqian walking in accompanied by a man.
"Qianqian, buy whatever you want, I'll pay."
Li Zhiyan cursed inwardly at the simping behavior, simply continuing to scratch his cards. Now, he didn't even have the slightest interest in wasting another word on this little fairy, Xu Qianqian.
How could someone as exceptional as Aunt Shen give birth to such a shameless woman like Xu Qianqian?
"Li Zhiyan?"
Li Zhiyan had no intention of paying attention to Xu Qianqian, but she had her eyes locked on him.
She hadn't expected to run into him here, and a disdainful smile soon crept onto her face.
Poor losers like him naturally loved indulging in such unrealistic pipe dreams.
Buying scratch cards to make money?
"Yeah, Zhang Hailong, you're way better than Li Zhiyan. Back then, when I asked him to treat me to dinner, not only did he refuse to pay, but he even demanded back the money I had him spend on me when we went to the supermarket."
"What an absolute freak."
Zhang Hailong seemed to sneer at Li Zhiyan's behavior, but Li Zhiyan couldn't be bothered to engage with either of them.
He continued scratching his cards. Soon, Xu Qianqian sat down opposite him and began scratching cards alongside Zhang Hailong, her elbows casually brushing against her new pet every now and then.
Every single touch sent a wave of intense pleasure through Zhang Hailong's heart.
Although Xu Qianqian had a boyfriend, through his recent interactions with her, Zhang Hailong felt confident in his ability to poach her away.
That way, he wouldn't have to suppress his desires so much at night. Finding a girlfriend was so difficult nowadays; if he could bring Xu Qianqian back to his hometown for the Chinese New Year,
how much face would that give him?
Li Zhiyan didn't bother exposing him; he knew better than anyone that simps never met a good end.
The luxurious life Xu Qianqian lived was funded partly by online loans, but her primary economic source was precisely these simps.
After a while, Li Zhiyan scratched out a ten-thousand-yuan winning card.
According to the intelligence, his total profit was supposed to be one hundred thousand yuan. For any single scratch card exceeding ten thousand yuan, a twenty percent tax had to be paid on the amount over ten thousand.
The tax for this single card would be eighteen thousand yuan, meaning the remaining scratch cards would yield a profit of eighteen thousand for Li Zhiyan.
This ten-thousand-yuan prize was well within expectations.
He called the owner over.
"Boss, I hit a ten-thousand-yuan win, help me cash this in first."
The owner walked over, picked up the scratch card, and his eyes widened in disbelief. Was this kid some kind of deity presiding over scratch cards? He had just won two thousand recently, and now he'd hit ten thousand again!
"Young man, your luck is ridiculously good!"
"I'll cash this in for you right now. I can handle small amounts directly, but for anything over ten thousand, you have to go to the lottery administration center."
"Let me record a Douyin video first."
Seeing Li Zhiyan win ten thousand yuan, Xu Qianqian felt an uncontrollable wave of distress wash over her. What she wanted most in the world was to see Li Zhiyan reduced to utter poverty.
It would be best if he lost his job, ended up on the streets, and crawled back to his hometown county town; only then would her heart feel at ease.
At the same time, a sharp pang of jealousy welled up inside her.
After running up one hundred thousand yuan in online loan debt, Xu Qianqian didn't dare tell Shen Hongmei due to her strict upbringing, leaving her scrambling everywhere for money.
And yet, Li Zhiyan had actually won ten thousand!
While Xu Qianqian was seething with inner turmoil,
Li Zhiyan calmly spoke up: "Boss, let's scan this one together too."
"Another five thousand won."
At this point, the owner rubbed his eyes, feeling as though he were dreaming.
"It really is five thousand!"
