Of course, Lu Fan couldn't tell Han Ke about the fact that he had a system.
So he worried that she might press him about where Little Night had come from.
To steer the conversation away, Lu Fan pulled out a class advancement scroll from his inventory and handed it over, saying with a smile,
"Auntie, I got a lot of great stuff during my time in the wild. This one's really special for you—go ahead and use it."
Han Ke took the scroll, puzzled. "What is this... hmm?—wait, this is a class advancement scroll?!"
Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened in shock, her face full of disbelief.
"This… this is an incredibly valuable item!"
Her hands trembled slightly as she looked at Lu Fan. "Where did you get this?"
Lu Fan chuckled and answered casually,
"I happened to run into Qin Shanhai's daughter—the mayor's daughter, you know—while I was in the wild. They were short on people for a dungeon run, so I tagged along."
"After we cleared the dungeon, I got to choose a reward. I picked this scroll specifically for you—to let you change your class to an Enchanted Chef."
"That way, you won't have to stay stuck here running this bun shop anymore. With a hidden lifestyle-class profession, you'll have a much brighter future."
Hearing that this scroll was Lu Fan's dungeon reward made Han Ke's heart warm.
She knew he must have had other rewards to choose from, yet he'd chosen this one just for her.
Her eyes misted over. She wiped them discreetly and forced a smile,
"Xiao Fan, I appreciate the gesture, really—but this scroll is too valuable. I can't accept it."
"Why don't we just sell it instead? A hidden profession scroll should fetch a good price. With the money, maybe we could get you some new gear. That'd help your exam score too."
"No need, Auntie. I don't need money or equipment." Lu Fan grinned and took out his phone, showing her a bank transaction record—almost 300,000 yuan deposited.
"Look, I gathered and sold a lot of materials on this trip. We made this much. We'll never have to worry about money again. Oh, and that classmate from the Qin family? She said she wants to pay me as well."
"So go ahead and use the scroll. Trust me—our family's not going to be short on cash anymore."
Han Ke was both shocked and deeply moved to see Lu Fan had earned in one trip what her shop might not make in three or four years.
She looked at his worn, bloodstained clothes. There weren't any visible wounds, but clearly, this trip into the wild had been rough on him.
Her nose stung with emotion once again.
But this time, she didn't try to decline the scroll.
Lu Fan had worked so hard to bring this back for her—if she refused, wouldn't that just waste all his effort and kindness?
So Han Ke smiled and nodded. "All right, I trust you. I'll use the scroll."
"Great!" Lu Fan lit up. "Auntie, hurry up and change your class to Enchanted Chef. I really want to see what kind of abilities a hidden profession like this has."
"Okay." Han Ke nodded and activated the scroll.
A beam of light shot from the scroll and entered her body.
Moments later, the light faded—and Han Ke's appearance changed.
Her previous weariness was gone, replaced by renewed vitality.
Clearly, becoming a hidden-class professional had some immediate benefits.
She slowly opened her eyes, a surprised gleam in her gaze.
Lu Fan leaned forward eagerly. "So, Auntie, what's the profession like? Any special abilities?"
Han Ke nodded. "I got a passive skill called Enchanted Cooking."
"From now on, the food I cook will have random attribute-boosting effects depending on the ingredients and flavors. But the exact attribute and duration—it's all random."
"I see! That sounds kind of like an alchemist." Lu Fan was quite pleased with the outcome.
In fact, Enchanted Chef might be even better than alchemist in some ways—
After all, alchemists needed rare herbs and materials to make potions.
But Han Ke? She just needed food ingredients.
Han Ke's cheeks flushed with excitement, and she smiled.
"It's similar, yes—but the buffs from my cooking probably won't be as strong as potions. It's more like... a little bonus."
Lu Fan laughed, "That's perfectly fine. You can't eat potions three times a day, but you have to eat food every day, right?"
"And with your amazing cooking skills, I bet your dishes will have some seriously good effects."
"You and that silver tongue of yours!" Han Ke giggled, poking Lu Fan's forehead lightly.
"How about this—why don't I head to the market now and pick up some fresh ingredients? Tonight, I'll cook up a feast to welcome you home."
"And we'll find out just what kinds of buffs my enchanted cooking can produce."
