Chapter 182 Blake
"Eh, you\'re going already? You should stay longer. I will cook later, let\'s eat dinner together."
Alex suddenly paused on his steps.
Raising an eyebrow, he said, "You… know how to cook?"
Tilting her head, Kris said, "Didn\'t I tell you before?"
Alex shook his head, "No, you never told me about it."
Then a smile appeared on Kris\' lips.
"Well, now you know!"
"Anyway, you should stay. I\'ll show you my cooking skills later."
With Kris continued insistence, Alex finally gave in.
"Fine, fine. Make sure your cooking tastes good or I\'ll be really disappointed." Alex jokingly said.
"Heh, I\'ll make you addicted to my cooking. Just wait and see." Kris said, full of confidence in her tone.
The two continued chatting for a while before Kris stood up to start preparing dinner.
Left alone in the living room, Alex has nothing else to do.
So, he called out his status window to view his progress.

…
Alex stared at his status panel with a thoughtful look.
"Hmm, my status has grown again, huh."
Saying that, Alex fixed his eyes on the [Bloodline] that he didn\'t inspect yet.
"This thing, it\'s not just for design, right?"
As he muttered that, the details of the bloodline appeared on the screen.
[Bloodline: Draconian]
[Details: Dragons are one of the strongest beings in the world. They reign supreme and boast great strength that makes them far superior than the others. Draconians are descendants of dragons and inherited some of the powers they possessed.]
[Effect: x2 strength stat, ???, ???]
…
Reading the information about the additional bloodline that he got, Alex looked happy.
When he saw the effect that bloodline grants him, Alex\'s eyes started shining brightly.
Chuckling, he said, "Haha, my stats are really getting more and more overpowered."
The x2 strength stat made Alex feel joyful and at the same time, made him curious about the other effects that are written in question marks at the moment.
Rubbing his chin, he said, "Hmm, just the x2 strength is such a great effect already. I wonder just what these other effects are."
Alex made some guesses in his head before he stopped thinking about it.
Next, Alex turned his attention to the other skills that he got with the [Draconian] bloodline except for [Dragon Life].

…
Looking at the two skills, Alex nodded in understanding.
Then he muttered, "I don\'t know when these will be of help to me but these should be useful."
After saying that, Alex dismissed the information of the skills on the screen.
Next, Alex\'s eyes landed on the new Unique skill that he obtained.
Synthesis!
In this skill, Alex still has some expectations for it.
Since it\'s a skill that has the same Unique rank as his cheat-like [Sacrifice] skill, Alex can\'t help but feel anticipation.
[Synthesis]
[Rating: Unique]
[Effects: Select two items or skills that you would like to synthesize. Item or the skill\'s rating might decrease or increase depending on the compatibility of the two selected things to be synthesized.]
[Description: For every use of synthesis, consume 1000 gold coins as the energy source.]
…
Alex glanced at the description of the skill for a moment.
Then he said, "Let\'s try you out, I\'m curious about what you can really do."
Saying that, Alex started going through the skills that he has.
Since he wanted to test out the [Synthesis] skill, he needed to look for skills that have great compatibility with each other.
After a short while, Alex finally made a decision.
"It\'s you two, you\'re going to be the subjects for this test."
Alex said while looking at the two skills [Stealth] and [Concealment].
The reason why Alex chose these two is first, he thought that they were highly compatible with each other.
Stealth is a skill that can hide the \'physical body\' of its user.
Meanwhile, concealment is a skill that lets its user hide his or her status from people who want to peek at it.
…
From time to time, a few people take fancy of Angelica even though she\'s only a child and want to \'buy\' her.
They offer food and money and in exchange, they want Angelica to… give them pleasure or even become their sex slave.
Even though Jojo is only 9, as the second oldest, he knows a lot of things because he was forced to grow up in such an environment as the slums.
So, this disgusting reality, Jojo has learned a lot of things, even unpleasant ones.
Now, when he thinks about it, Jojo can\'t help but get worried that Alex was also like those vile people and just wants to use her sister.
"R-really? He\'s not like those people?"
Angelica moved closer to her younger brother and hugged him tightly, saying, "Don\'t worry, Brother Zero is really a good person."
"He\'s not even asking for anything. He\'s just concerned about us."
Hearing her own words, Angelica also started feeling emotional again.
Such a person… there was actually such a good person in this world still!
Unknowingly, the siblings drifted off to sleep while still hugging each other to sleep.
…
The next morning, Alex woke up early and started preparing breakfast.
Once he\'s done cooking a simple meal, the kids also woke up just in time.
Yawns~
Yawning, the kids went out of the tent one by one, still with sleepy eyes.
Alex looked at them with a gentle smile and greeted, "Good morning, kids."
""Good morning, Brother Zero."" They greeted back.
Alex smiled and said, "Well, sit down now and have breakfast. We will be leaving soon so you need to eat a lot to have energy while we travel."
The kids nodded and accepted a plate of food from Alex.
Today\'s breakfast is Tocilog, a perfect hearty meal which consists of tocino, fried rice, and egg.
"Hmm, this tastes delicious!"
"Oum, this is the first time I tasted this. What is this food called?"
Curiously, the kids looked at the processed food(tocino) on their plate.
But in the end, their tongues and stomachs are more curious about the food than their eyes.
Soon, everyone finished eating breakfast and Alex had also packed everything back to his inventory.
With that done, they are now ready to continue their journey!
"Now then, everyone, let\'s go!"
Alex let the four kids sit on Ferri\'s back again before they started moving.
Of course, their weights are nothing to Ferri so he didn\'t mind.
Anyway, Alex is also feeling lazy today and decided to hop on Ferri\'s back as well.
Raising his hand, Alex pointed ahead and said, "Ferri, let\'s go!"
And so, Alex, his two monster pets, and four kids, has continued their journey towards Kupido Town!
Narrowing his eyes, he thought, \'Interesting. It seems like there\'s a hidden conspiracy happening here, huh.\'
With his interest piqued, Alex listened more attentively to Chichi\'s words.
"I was standing behind the counter at that time, cowering in fear from the aggressive noble, when both Sister Paula and Sister Azul came out of their offices."
When Chichi said this, she felt ashamed before her expression turned into admiration as he spoke of Azul and Paula\'s names.
Chichi continued, "Sister Paula\'s eyes were fixed onto the aggressive noble when she appeared."
"On the other hand, I saw that the unknown nobleman smirked and showed a triumphant expression on his face when Sister Azul and Sister Paula came out."
While saying that, Chichi gnashed her teeth in anger.
Seeing her reaction, Alex can\'t help but say, "It seems like you\'re close with the owners of Dragon Diner, huh."
Chichi nodded and said, "Sister Paula and Sister Azul are both kind people. All I can say is that they were the ones who helped me back when I really really needed it."
When she was saying that, the anger on Chichi\'s face immediately turned into smiles.
After a moment, Chichi continued, "Anyway, that nobleman seems to know both Sister Paula and Sister Azul.
