"Xuanxuan, did you have fun playing tonight?"

With a smile on his lips, Huang Tao asked softly, pulling a small blanket from the end of the bed to cover Xuanxuan.

The small lamp on the bedside table cast a gentle light, illuminating Xuanxuan's rosy little face, like a ripe apple in September.

Made you want to take a bite.

"Uh-huh, it was fun~"

Xuanxuan buried half her face in the blanket, only her bright eyes were visible, nodding like a chick pecking at rice: "It was so much fun."

After dinner that night, after seeing off each of the employees, Huang Tao sent his parents home in Lin Jingsong's taxi, watching them leave.

Then he took Xuanxuan to a nearby park for a stroll.

There were quite a few rides in the park.

When Xuanxuan saw them, her big eyes lit up like light bulbs, and she darted over like a bird freed from its cage.

She played on the swings, slides, seesaws, and other equipment.

She had so much fun, she didn't want to leave!

If he hadn't insisted it was getting late and they needed to go home, the little one wouldn't have wanted to come back!

"Really?"

Huang Tao smiled and asked, "Do you want to go play there again in the future?"

"Yes~"

Xuanxuan nodded her little head vigorously.

Huang Tao gently brushed her bangs upwards and kissed her forehead, "Then sleep well for now, and I'll take you out again next time when Daddy's not busy, okay?"

"Okay~"

Xuanxuan smiled, her brows dancing.

He ruffled her bangs and said lovingly, "Now sleep!"

Xuanxuan agreed softly and obediently closed her eyes.

Truth be told, she was already tired, especially after taking a warm bath earlier.

Once she closed her eyes, sleepiness overcame her almost immediately.

No need for Huang Tao to sing her a lullaby or pat her to sleep through the blanket, she was already deep in slumber.

Drifting into dreamland!

Even as she lay there, a sweet smile lingered on her lips.

Judging by that, she's sure to be having sweet dreams tonight!

Huang Tao sat by her bedside, gazing at Xuanxuan tenderly for a while before reaching to dim the lamp on the bedside table.

Then he quietly rose and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

He sat down on the living room sofa.

That's right.

Only now, with a moment to spare, did he remember he hadn't collected the special system reward yet!

He wondered what could possibly be in that system gift pack?

Using his mind, he opened the system interface in his head.

And mentally entered the system space.

[System Gift Pack: Kitchen God Set. (Available: Can be claimed anytime, anywhere)]

[Would the host like to claim it now?]

What was this Kitchen God Set?

With a big question in mind, he said, "Claim."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth.

Brilliant light erupted everywhere!

Almost blinding Huang Tao's 24K titanium eyes.

Good thing he didn't claim it in broad daylight; how would he explain that light otherwise?

At this moment, a rectangular golden box rotated 360 degrees down from the ceiling.

Landing firmly on the coffee table.

[Reward has been issued.]

Huang Tao had no time to consider the system's thoughtful reminder, but curiously leaned forward to pick up the gold box from the table.

Opening it!

Inside lay a chef's knife.

Seemingly ordinary!

Indistinguishable from a regular knife.

Even in luster, it seemed unremarkable, not very Cheng Liang.

But the edge looked incredibly sharp.

Under the light, it shimmered with a silver sheen.

Sending a chill down the spine!

"Huh? There's a manual?"

He noticed a manual lying quietly within the box, so he picked it up to read.

The manual detailed the materials used for the chef's knife.

Made from rare elements vanadium and selenium.

It also thoroughly explained the properties and benefits of these materials.

In short, this wasn't an ordinary chef's knife.

This was a Divine Level Chef's Knife!

"I have to test its sharpness!"

He took the knife to the kitchen, looking for ingredients that could best demonstrate its edge.

Although he hadn't cooked at home in a while, luckily his parents had cooked lunch that day, leaving behind some ingredients.

A head of cabbage.

Enough for him to conduct his test.

He held the knife and with a "swish" sliced the cabbage neatly in half.

This experience made Huang Tao completely grasp the difference between this knife and regular ones.

This knife was incredibly light to use.

At least half the weight of normal chef's knives on the market.

And much sharper than them by several degrees.

The handle was extremely comfortable.

Huang Tao examined the cut on the cabbage, perfectly straight without any sign of deviation.

Met his expectations.

Cut was effortless!

He leaned in to sniff the cabbage's cut and only smelled the scent of cabbage, with no hint of new knife odor.

"Indeed, a product of the system, an impressive knife."

He nodded in satisfaction, naturally anticipating other parts of the Kitchen God Set.

If he could collect the entire Kitchen God Set, what would the outcome be?

Become a Kitchen God?

He didn't know about becoming a Kitchen God.

What he knew was that it would take many points or completing high-difficulty system tasks to obtain more.

Speaking of which.

Why wasn't the system issuing tasks anymore?

Questions that couldn't be answered didn't need thinking about.

"Oh well, it's late, time to sleep!"

He wiped the knife clean and placed it back in the box, preparing to take it to the restaurant tomorrow.

He quietly tiptoed back to the bedroom, gently closing the door.

Turning off the bedside lamp and gently lying beside Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan muttered in her semi-sleep, "Daddy~"

"Yes!"

Huang Tao responded softly, patting her lightly over the blanket, "Sweetie, sleep, Daddy's here!"

Xuanxuan mumbled "Uh-huh," shifted slightly, and drifted back into deep sleep.

Huang Tao tugged at the blanket, covering her properly to keep her warm through the night.

Goodnight, sleep tight, my baby!

...

The next day.

Huang Tao and Xuanxuan woke up on time thanks to their biological clocks.

After washing up, they rode an electric scooter to the Delicious Restaurant.

There was already quite a line at the store entrance.

"Boss Huang is here..."

Someone shouted, and suddenly a group of diners perked up.

Stopped playing on phones, chatting was put on hold, even cigarettes weren't smoked.

Everyone stepped aside, making way in the middle.

Huang Tao walked through holding Xuanxuan's hand, for a moment feeling like he was back on Hong Kong Island in the last century.

With the guys lining up on either side, greeting him with respect.

A customer noticed the box in his hand and asked with a smile, "Wow, Boss Huang, that box looks exquisite! What's inside?"

Huang Tao replied flatly, "Nothing special, just a knife."

No one pried further, but seeing a knife in a box like that, they knew it must be of high quality.

Once inside.

He gave Xuanxuan some instructions and then headed to the kitchen.

Saw Xu Hao struggling to chop meat.

"Let me handle this..."

He picked up the Divine Level Chef's Knife and swiftly started chopping meat.

"Crack crack crack..."

In no time, the meat was chopped.

With a tilt of the knife, he transferred the meat to the bowl...

"Wow... Boss, your knife is insanely sharp..."

Lin Zifeng and Xu Hao, on the side, watched in wide-eyed surprise.

Absolutely stunned!

No doubt!

Huang Tao's skill had completely reshaped their perception of knives!
