The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 100: After Shopping with My Two Younger Sisters

After shopping with my two younger sisters, it got dark.

Borist took his two younger sisters home and, under Lu Renkui's guidance, began to cook dinner.

"Eating boiled food every day is getting a bit too monotonous," Lu Renkui said, looking at the crucible that had long been used as a soup pot.

"What, you want to teach him how to cook?" System WQBYRZM complained. "Do you want to teach him how to caramelize sugar? Or how to toss a wok?"

“I don’t know how to toss the wok, but I can teach him how to caramelize sugar,” Lu Renkui said.

"No, you really intend to teach him to cook?" System WQBYRZM was greatly shocked.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be stir-frying. You can pile up some stones, arrange them in a circle, light a fire in the middle, and then you can roast things. Besides, iron pots probably weren't common these days. Where am I supposed to find an iron pot? I'm just kidding." Lu Renkui seemed a little helpless.

"I thought you were going to ask me if I could buy one with points." System WQBYRZM produced a bag of sunflower seeds from somewhere and said while cracking them open.

"Oh, so can I buy one with points?" Lu Renkui asked.

"Yes, but it's very expensive because iron pots weren't common in this era."

"Didn't you say before that you could get back the points once you spent a certain amount?"

"It's true, but it might be two digits more than the total points of the person ranked first." System WQBYRZM popped another sunflower seed into its mouth. "We can't spend any of it, so we might as well save it."

"Then why are you asking me this? And where did you get these sunflower seeds?"

"I brought them myself," System WQBYRZM said, while tossing another handful of sunflower seeds into its mouth.

"Can I eat this?" Lu Renkui asked, she was craving some snacks.

System WQBYRZM glanced at Lu Renkui with dead fish eyes, then stuffed a handful of sunflower seeds into its mouth: "No, you're a soul now, have you forgotten?"

"Now you have two choices: either put away the sunflower seeds now, or I'll fight you right now." Lu Renkui revealed a deathly smile.

System WQBYRZM rolled its eyes, but still put the sunflower seeds away.

Boruist made a pot of pork rib soup following Lu Renkui's instructions.

The two younger sisters finished their pork rib soup with satisfaction and then played with the little black cat using a simple cat toy made by Boruist.

Borest began to read, this time holding a complete guide to gem appreciation—the stone he had summoned was not common, and he wanted to see where it came from.

After looking through it, Borest discovered that the stone was called the Night Sky Stone. This kind of stone is produced in places in the Dark Forest where there is no light at all. It is a kind of special product. The tiny white spots on the stone emit a faint light.

Borest took the stone out of his pocket and examined it. The small white spots on the stone did indeed shimmer with a soft white light, like stars.

Borest examined the stone, pondering: "The Dark Forest has many wild beasts that can enhance my abilities. And if I'm lucky enough to find more Night Sky Stones, I'll keep a few for my sisters, and then have the rest crafted into jewelry. I'm sure I can sell them for a fortune."

However, I don't know much about the Dark Forest, so I need to do some research first, and then find some local residents who are familiar with the Dark Forest to take me in.

But that would definitely take a lot of time. As for Ollie and Lola, they are still young, and I don't know if there will be any problems if they are away for too long.

But taking them into the dark forest seems a bit dangerous. It would be better to wait until they are a little older before taking them there—if they are willing.

Borist was still thinking about when would be a good time to go to the Dark Forest when he felt someone tug at his clothes. He looked down and saw Carola holding a little black cat.

"What's wrong?" Borist got up from his chair and squatted down to look Carola in the eye.

Carola pointed to the little black cat that kept meowing and said, "It seems like it wants to say something to us, but we can't understand it. So, brother, do you have any medicine that can make small animals talk?"

“A potion that allows you to speak… I have one. Wait a moment, I’ll make it for you in a bit,” Borest said.

Borest closed the Gemstone Appraisal Encyclopedia, waved his wand, and a potions book flew over.

Before concocting the potion, Borest checked once again the barriers he had set up in the room to prevent any sound from escaping.

After confirming that there were no problems with the barrier, Borest began to concoct a potion that would allow animals to talk.
