The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 570 - 297
”Alright, I’m off to Thirteen District now.” Jiang Shu looked at himself in the mirror, adjusting the position of his tie knot, and said with a smile to Liu Tingruo beside him, ”If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to come back for lunch.”

”Mhm, sure, you can come back a bit later.” Liu Tingruo’s hands brushed over Jiang Shu’s upper body suit, seemingly to smooth out non-existent wrinkles, but Jiang Shu felt she was just longing for his body.

”Wait a minute, come back later?” Jiang Shu frowned slightly, ”What are you going to do?”

Asking him to come back later again?

”Yeah, I’m going to cook for you today.” Liu Tingruo said with a smile.

Jiang Shu gave her a skeptical look, ”Seriously? You’re going to cook? Don’t make our house disappear by the time I come back.”

”How could that happen.” Liu Tingruo raised her eyebrows, a frown expressing her discontent, ”I did specifically practice my culinary arts before.”

”Oh, is that so?” Jiang Shu remembered the ribs-flavored caramel he had eaten in the Special Prison and immediately felt goosebumps, ”Then let me see if you have a ’Culinary Expert’ entry.”

”...” Liu Tingruo then fell silent.

The Character Card system in Lonely City was good for this, whether you had the ability or not, just show your Character Card and it would be clear at a glance.

Seeing her aggrieved expression, Jiang Shu couldn’t help but laugh and changed the topic, ”But why did you learn to cook?”

”Of course it’s for you.” Liu Tingruo spoke earnestly, ”I’m also from a great clan, and culinary skills are a basic etiquette for a wife, right?”

”Since that’s the case, I will look forward to your cooking at noon.” Jiang Shu also expressed his anticipation.

In Lonely City, culinary skills had basically ceased to be essential. Most people would choose takeout or fast food products, and those with better resources would go out to dine.

Only in some districts home to nobles, would some old and new noble families have expectations for their women’s culinary skills.

After all the preparations were finished, Liu Tingruo lifted her gaze to Jiang Shu, suddenly reached out to grab his tie, pulling his head down, and then turned to gently touch her lips to his.

”Alright, off you go.” She licked her lips with a ”thanks for the treat” look, then waved goodbye.

”Hm, I’m leaving.” Jiang Shu waved back, then looked down at the small Yi at his feet, ”You stay home, take good care of Ruo Jie.”

Small Yi immediately stamped its foot, raised its hand in a salute: Mission assured.

Jiang Shu nodded, feeling that small Yi should be able to grasp his meaning.

Look after Ruo Jie, don’t let her blow up the house.

As his alien form, although small Yi couldn’t cook, it still had the same theoretical knowledge of culinary arts. With its guidance, Ruo Jie shouldn’t make anything too disastrous, right?

Then, he turned into a playing card and dissipated in the room.

——

Thirteen District.

The Police Station’s convention hall.

Wolf was standing at the entrance of the hall, continuously greeting his colleagues as they entered.

”Good day, Police Chief Wolf.” A police officer waved to Wolf while entering the convention hall.

He didn’t mind that Wolf was currently just temporary because today was the Police Chief’s inauguration ceremony. After the ceremony, Wolf would officially become their station’s Police Chief.

Wolf’s abilities had been evident over these past three days, in addition to the hints coming from Tang Hexun, so there wasn’t a single officer in the entire station who disapproved of Wolf.

This included the Police Chiefs from Thirteen District as well; someone with a hatred for evil and a forthright character like Wolf was quite popular in the station.

Moreover, who knew what kind of magic Police Chief Wolf had used, but over these three days, all the officers felt that if they followed Wolf’s arrangements, their efficiency improved significantly, allowing everyone to finish their work and clock out by seven in the evening.

Not that there were complaints about Tang Hexun’s previous stringent policies, but who wouldn’t be happy about finishing work early and heading home?

”Good morning, Liel.” Wolf easily called out the officer’s name, then gave him an encouraging pat on the shoulder.

”Aren’t you going in, Police Chief?” The officer named Liel looked surprised to see Wolf standing at the entrance.

”No need, you go ahead.” Wolf didn’t say much.

Officer Liel said goodbye to Wolf, then walked into the convention hall.

”Hey, when will your master come? There are only ten minutes left before it starts.” As fewer and fewer officers were left outside and the hall was already full, Wolf turned to look at the two Tablet Spirits floating in the air and asked.

Over the last three days, his work achievements were inseparable from the help of these two Tablet Spirits. In fact, it could be said that his ability to perform marginally better than Tang Hexun relied entirely on these two Tablet Spirits.

It was incredibly convenient to have two artificial intelligence robots helping with daily affairs; they always understood his intentions and could offer constructive suggestions.

A: Almost there, almost there.

B: Right away, right away.

Wolf’s face was lined with frustration while looking at them, ”That’s what you were saying fifteen minutes ago.”

”Wolf.” Just then, Jiang Shu appeared in formal attire. He waved to Wolf and then laughed, ”Now I have to call you Chief Police, remember our promise from the past? ’If we rise to riches, do not forget each other.’”
