“As for the rest, continue as usual. There’s no need to report unless necessary. Both of you must be careful to not reveal your identities or whereabouts in front of Miss Zhuang. Above all, do not bother her.”
“Yes, we understand!” Su Mu and Su Ye both replied.
Whomever Chu Jinnian deemed important enough to produce Miss Qiao Er’s token from years past, must be incredibly, incredibly important.
It seems that from now on, the both of them will have to be on full alert, no, twelve times more alert to ensure Miss Zhuang’s wellbeing.
Su Mu and Su Ye looked at each other and quietly nodded.

The next day, Zhuang Qingning woke up very early.
Not because something important needed to be done, but because a certain brain-rattling voice had started resonating in her head just before dawn.
[Ding, congratulations to the host. The second task of the promotional series for new agriculture, the planting of new wheat seeds, has been completed. Appropriate rewards have been granted to the host.]
[Due to the host exceeding the required support value during the completion process, rewards are doubled. Host has obtained Junior Secret Artisan Dried Noodles Recipe *1, Recipe: Braised Meatballs and Talent Points *2.]
[Reward items have been placed in the item bar; host can now choose talents to add.]
Talent points indeed.
Zhuang Qingning was excited.
It had been some time since she’d received such a reward, and truth be told, this was more useful than any materialistic reward she’d gotten before.
Now that she’d obtained the formula for Moon Incense, she would have to deal with fragrances if she wanted to open a workshop or pursue business in the future. Thus, she should work on enhancing her sense of smell.
Without hesitation, Zhuang Qingning used the first talent point to increase her sense of smell.
[Congratulations, host. Increase in olfaction sensitivity by 10]
With the remaining talent point, Zhuang Qingning excitedly enhanced her strength, something she had been looking forward to for some time and was unable to do so before because of the previous marriage stone mishap.
[Congratulations, host. Strength attribute +10.]
After receiving the notification, Zhuang Qingning was itching to clench her fist and find something to test her new strength.
After wandering around the courtyard, she set her sights on the stone table within.
She remembered that the stone table was extremely heavy. Two strong men had brought it in when they were setting up their new home, and it seemed like quite the task.
Now that she had added strength points, she wondered if she could lift the stone table.
Zhuang Qingning rolled up her sleeves, crouched down, and took a few deep breaths. She rubbed her hands on the edges of the table, locating a comfortable area to exert strength from, then prepared herself…
After a shout, she was suddenly taken aback, not because the stone table was too heavy and she lost her balance, but because it was unexpectedly light, so she almost tripped under the force of her strength.
After stumbling for a few steps, Zhuang Qingning finally regained her footing and even shook the stone table in her hands.
It wasn’t easy, per se, but it was definitely effortless.
The strength attribute was indeed handy. With her powerful fist, not only could she protect herself in case of emergencies, she might even force the opponent into begging for mercy.
Being a strong girl was definitely a plus!
Zhuang Qingning was very satisfied with her newfound strength. She placed the stone table back in its original place and went unnoticed into the kitchen to prepare some hot water for washing up later.
Su Mu and Su Ye were hiding in the shadows, both looking at each other in bewilderment.
