The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 01]

Chapter 5 - Ambitions

"Come on. What makes you think I'm a genius?"

"A gut feeling. Besides you don't talk like a regular kid, do you? For me it feels as if I'm talking to an adult." He said with a smirk plastered on his face. Daichi didn't answer the rhetorical question.

Just then a tantalizing aroma filled their nostrils and they automatically looked towards the kitchen. They saw Shi Fang holding two bowls heading towards them. He reached their table and placed the food in front of them.

Daichi quickly used 'Observe' on his food.

'Observe'

[Rainbow Dumplings]

A delicious breakfast dish made by Shi Fang. The inside of the dumpling has seven layers of vegetables and meat. The ingredients used to make this dish are all of high quality. Shi Fang uses a special method to cook this dish to ensure that the ingredients retain some of their chakra and most of their vitality. 1 Dumpling Restores 15 HP and 9 CP.

Daichi was incredulous after reading that description. 'Holyshit. This thing can restore 15 HP and 9 CP. If that's the case, in my current state just 14 of these things and I'll be in full health. I definitely need to check out my inventory and find out if It can preserve food. If It can, I am definitely buying a couple hundred of these for a rainy day.'

Two white glass bowls with 3 white dumplings each and some soup poured and chopped onions sprinkled over it.

The white and glossy 'Rainbow Dumplings' were not radiating rainbow colors despite its name. These dumplings were smooth and translucent, and the fillings inside could almost be seen.

From the outside, there seemed to be a faint amount of fragrance enveloping the fillings and made the dumpling appear extremely tantalizing.

"Enjoy." Shi said and then walked away.

"Alright. Why don't we table our discussion until after we've had our stomachs filled?! Let's dig in. You're going to love this place after you've had a taste of these dumplings." Kensei said.

Daichi didn't need any more encouragement and he quickly took the chopsticks, picked up a dumpling, and placed it in his mouth. As soon as he bit into the dumpling he could feel a soft fragrant smell filling his mouth. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the blissful moment for a few seconds.

"Mmmm. Delicious." He couldn't help but say those words.

Both Daichi and Kensei enjoyed the food and ate at a comfortable slow pace. They ate the 3 dumplings and finished the soup in about 10 minutes. Both of them were completely satisfied with their breakfast.

"Happy?" Kensei asked the boy.

"Yes. I definitely have to come back here." Daichi replied.

"Now then, shall we continue our chat.?" Daichi simply nodded to Kensei's question.

"I want you to think long and hard before you answer this question... What do you want to be in the future?" Kensei asked in a serious tone.

Daichi paused at the question and was about to immediately reply, 'a shinobi.' But he stopped himself and thought about it a bit more.

'What I want huh. I want to become the strongest, so I'm definitely going to be a ninja... but is that all I really want? I'm in a world full of possibilities and unknowns. And I bet there are a lot more interesting things out there that the story didn't cover. I have the gamer's ability. The best tool for any situation. So theoretically nothing should be impossible for me. I could learn about all sorts of things.'
