LOL: I am a bad prince in Demacia.

January 1st.

As the first day of the new year, many people regard this day as a day to rehabilitate all the bad things from the previous year.

Starting from this day, they regain their mood, forget the unpleasantness of the previous year, and welcome the new year with a new mood.

Demacia's history book has also turned a page, and it has arrived in the clean and new year 680. There are too many things on the blank page waiting for people to write.

When the sky dims, people in every household across the royal capital get up early, put on new clothes, bring gifts, visit relatives and friends, and send New Year blessings.

The streets were very lively early in the morning, with people and horses coming and going in an endless stream.

But at this moment, it was already a bit crowded.

Lu Qi got up just as early today. Last night, Miss Jian Ji thought that today was the New Year, so she let him go temporarily.

After all, even she couldn't spend the night at someone else's house on the eve of the New Year.

At this time, the fireplace downstairs was lit. Lu Qi changed his clothes and came to the first floor.

Lacus and the others hadn't arrived yet, and only Urna and Katarina were seen in the living room.

"happy New Year."

Lu Qi said hello and sat on the sofa.

After a while, Yourna brought the hot tea over.

Catalina picked up the broom and prepared to sweep the yard.

For her, things like celebrating the New Year are basically the same as usual. She just does whatever she needs to do.

But when she came outside the courtyard, she saw a flurry of snow falling outside. The snowflakes were dancing and falling like petals, making the early morning sky white.

Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but be stunned.

I thought about leaving my hometown, coming to this foreign country, and spending the New Year here.

I feel a little weird.

She never cared, and she had no love for children. After all, for an assassin, those were meaningless things.

But maybe it’s because I’ve been here for a while and was infected by the emotions here.

At this moment, she felt inexplicably homesick.

"It's snowing."

Next to him, Lu Qi's voice came.

He stopped under the eaves, looked at the falling snow outside, and sighed: "The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. It's a good omen. It seems there will be a good harvest this year."

The snow that fell from the sky did not fall in a hurry. Although it was not small, it fell slowly and slowly. It was considered a good snow scene.

Catalina heard this and asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"

"Because it's auspicious." Lu Qi smiled and said: "The weather is cold in winter, and the snow that falls is often not easy to melt. The snow covering the soil is relatively soft, and there is a lot of stagnant air hidden in it. The air does not spread. Hot, this is like covering the crops with a quilt. No matter how cold it is outside, the temperature below will not drop very low. Covered by winter snow, it is not easy to attract pests. Isn’t this a good sign? After this cold weather, once the snow melts, it can be used as fertilizer and absorbed by the crops."

As long as it wasn't a heavy snowstorm like the one in Hill City, a snowfall at this time would actually be a good thing.

Apart from the cold weather, there seems to be nothing annoying about snowy days.

After all, you can still have a warm hot pot meal on a snowy day.

After listening to Lu Qi's words, Catalina looked at the falling snow outside and nodded somewhat suddenly.

This was indeed something she didn't know, and she didn't expect this to be said.

"When it snows, go back and rest for a while. It's time to decorate your home."

Lu Qi took a few more glances at the snowy scene, then yawned and returned to the living room.

Catalina nodded again, turned around and followed.

Lu Qi sat on the sofa, watching Yourna and Catalina decorate the place. They had nothing to do, and silently said in their hearts: "Sign in."

[Sign in successfully]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the realm improvement card*1]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the intermediate skill improvement card*2]

[Congratulations to the host for getting a random deputy job promotion card*1]

Three system sounds sounded in succession, which was considered a good start for the new year.

Lu Qi glanced at them and saw that the three rewards were quite good. Without too much thinking, he directly used the realm improvement card.

【Successfully used】

Soon, a burst of energy emerged from Lu Qi's heart, and then spread to every corner of his body and limbs, like a warm current flowing slowly, dredging his meridians.

This feeling was quite comfortable, and Lu Qi couldn't help but close his eyes.

After a while, these feelings disappeared.

Lu Qi suddenly felt a little more relaxed all over. He opened his hand and shook it, and his strength also increased.

The improvement of strength always makes people feel happy.

Lu Qi glanced at the second reward and said silently in his mind: "System, use the skill upgrade card to upgrade the perseverance barrier."

[Intermediate skill card used successfully]

[The level of Fortitude Barrier has been increased to LV7]

Fortitude is a high-level skill that Lucci learned from Taric. The armor improvement brought by this skill is quite considerable.

It is also the only high-level skill Lu Qi currently has that has not reached LV7.

After using it, Lu Qi looked at the last reward and continued thinking: "Use the random deputy upgrade card."

【Successfully used】

[Congratulations to the host for raising his deputy job - cooking level to LV9 (returning to his original nature)]

The system's words made Lu Qi's eyes suddenly light up.

The function of the random sub-job upgrade card is to randomly upgrade one of the sub-jobs that Lu Qi already owns.

And his cooking skills have been stuck at LV8 for a long time. Even he didn't expect that this time, he would be directly promoted to cooking skills.

Lu Qi now dislikes this deputy position from the beginning, but now he likes it more and more.

Because, if his cooking skills are good, he is the one who enjoys the food.

After all, people are like iron rice or steel, who can refuse delicious food.

Soon, Lu Qi seemed to have entered a state of enlightenment. At this moment, he felt that his understanding of cooking was slowly improving.

Lu Qi's cooking skills are already very good now. From LV8 to LV9, the improvement is not huge for him, because he has basically mastered what he needs to master, and he is extremely proficient.

Therefore, Lu Qi digested the information brought by this upgrade very quickly.

He always felt that something had changed, but nothing had changed. In short, he had an indescribable feeling.

After thinking about it, he stood up and walked to the kitchen, preparing to take today's breakfast to test the ingredients.

He wanted to see if the food produced by LV9 level cooking skills would shine.

As soon as she stood up, she saw Lux walking in. She had a thick scarf wrapped around her neck, almost covering her mouth. Her pretty nose and ears were red from the cold, and a lot of them could be seen on her brilliant blond hair. Snowflake, with a pair of smart and happy eyes under her cheerful and stretched eyebrows.

"Have a great New Year."

As soon as they met, Lux immediately said hello crisply, and you could tell from her tone that she was in a good mood.
