An Unorthodox Guide to Conquering Another World

“As long as you prepare diligently, there won’t be any problems,” Elena said.

"Also, Mom needs to prepare a gift for Mr. Ya Feng. He has helped Mom so much, it would be too impolite to give him the same gift as everyone else," Elina said.

"By the way, Xixi, what do you think Mr. Yafeng likes?"

"this..."

Hikaria recalled her time with Ya Feng at his home:

"My teacher really likes playing video games and reading comics. Oh, right, he also really likes collecting model figures."

“Model figures…” Elina tilted her head.

"It's like this, roughly like a sculpture, but smaller. They mostly depict characters from anime and comics." Hikaria showed her some related pictures using the Phantom Network.

"This kind? Let me think..."

As Elena pondered, her cellular data rang.

She took it out, glanced at it, and then stood up.

"I have to go now, Mom has to go out for a bit."

"Mom, where are you going?" Hikaria asked, puzzled.

“It’s Mr. Ya Feng. Mom thought she should thank him separately, so he said she could treat him to coffee. He happens to be free tonight,” Elina said as she went into the bathroom to tidy up.

"Huh? Just the two of you?" Hikaria was stunned.

"After all, it's a special thank you, and this is a good opportunity to ask Mr. Ya Feng about his preferences." Elina put on a hair clip in front of the mirror, tidied her long hair, and came out, picking up her small handbag.

"Well, Mom's going out now. There's food in the fridge, heat it up for yourself." She waved to Hikaria with a smile.

"Oh, okay..."

...

Ya Feng looked at himself in the reflective shop window at the intersection: baseball cap, sneakers, jacket, and khaki pants; his hair was still a bit unruly, making him look like he'd just come back from a broomstick race with his buddies.

It seems a bit immature; I really should have worn that plaid shirt back then.

"Xiao Guang, Xiao Guang, how can I make myself look more mature on a date?" he said, tapping the tablet in his arms.

"If Master wants to look more mature, he can take off his baseball cap and put on glasses," Xiao Guang said.

Is that so?

Ya Feng took off his baseball cap and put on his frameless glasses.

"Yes, and then roll up the cuffs..."

"so?"

Ya Feng then did as instructed.

"Alright, the last step is to shave the hair on the top of your head completely, leaving only the hair on the sides..."

"Alright, stop talking,"

Ya Feng interrupted her.

Although Xiaoguang has been learning on the Huanwang platform for the past two days and can answer many more questions, it is still some distance from being a mature artificial intelligence.

"Mr. Ya Feng!"

Just then, he heard shouts and turned around to see a blonde elf girl waving at him as she jogged over.

Today, Elena was wearing a collared dress, a lace-trimmed shawl, round-toed leather shoes, and white socks. Her long golden hair made her look like a daisy. If you only looked at her appearance, who would have thought that she was a mother who had raised a daughter for almost twenty years?

Ya Feng sighed inwardly.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I came by bus, and there was some traffic on the way." Elena came up to him.

"No, I haven't been here long either," Ya Feng said.

I've actually been waiting for half an hour, but it's been worth it.

“Well then, let’s go. I’ve already made a reservation at a coffee shop I frequent. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied,” Elena said.

“Okay, I’m really looking forward to it,” Ya Feng said with a smile.

He and Elena walked and talked, and Elena led him into a somewhat secluded neighborhood, where they arrived at the door of a house.

This is probably a family-run café, with a small sign hanging at the entrance and a few tables and chairs in the courtyard. The environment is quite nice, with a small fountain and a grape trellis like a pavilion, but there are also children's toys scattered on the ground, probably belonging to the owner's kids.

The waitress who came forward was a young lady. She and Elina were obviously very familiar with each other. After exchanging greetings, Elina ordered two drinks and a snack in a very familiar manner.

"Because Mr. Ya Feng said you prefer a quieter place, I chose this place. Although there aren't many people, the food is still quite good," Elina said.

"It's quite unique." Ya Feng looked around.

It was quiet, but it didn't feel like a coffee shop; it felt more like visiting someone's home.

"Um, excuse me for a moment, I'm going to pick some flowers," Elina said, getting up and leaving first.

As Ya Feng watched Elina's departing figure, he immediately pulled Xiao Guang out of his pocket.

"Xiao Guang, if I'm on a date with a girl and she chooses a rather off-the-beaten-path place, how can I politely compliment her taste?"

Chapter 90 Elena's Date (Part 2)

"Xiao Guang, Xiao Guang, if I'm on a date with a girl and she chooses a pretty off-the-beaten-path place, how can I politely compliment her taste? Quick, help me think of something."

Ya Feng asked in a low voice.

The screen lit up.

"If it's a style I like, then we're really destined to meet, and we can come here together often in the future. But if it's a style I don't like, then it's still a really interesting place. Can you tell me about its features?"

"What if it's a converted family-run café?"

"You could say this place feels really welcoming. You don't have to be so reserved; it's like being at home. You can even ask other people how they discovered this hidden gem."

"Hmm...it's somewhat useful. Now, let me ask you another question: how can I be more humorous and witty during my dates?" Ya Feng asked.

"You can take the initiative to order. Ask the other person what they want. If they say anything is fine, then tell the waiter that you'd like something."

"What kind of awkward, dry humor is this, coming from a greasy, middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties..."

Just then, Elina returned, and he quickly put Xiaoguang away.

"Mr. Ya Feng, what do you think of this place? Is it a bit too quiet and cold?" Elina asked tentatively after sitting down.

"No, I think it's great, it feels very welcoming, just like being at home."

"Really? That's good..." Elina patted her chest.

"By the way, Mrs. Elena, how did you find this place?" Ya Feng asked.

“This…” Elina scratched her head shyly, her cheeks slightly flushed:

"When I first arrived in the capital, I got lost and ended up here..."

"Is that so?"

Kind of cute.

"However, the owners here are very nice. It's a husband-and-wife shop, and their flower dumplings are delicious. There are quite a few people here sometimes," Elina said.

Just then, everything we ordered arrived: a cup of coffee, a cup of milk matcha, a dessert that looked like bamboo rice, and a flower dumpling that Elina had mentioned.

It's basically a mochi-like snack, pink in color, decorated with flower petals, and filled with flowing red bean paste. It tastes quite nice with a floral aroma, and the coffee is also very good.

However, he was a bit stumped by this bamboo tube rice and didn't know where to start.

"I'll do it."

Elena took one, picked up a small wooden mallet, and tapped the top. Surprisingly, a complete cut appeared, revealing the fragrant, soft, and sticky food inside. Then, she took a small spoon, scooped out a spoonful, blew on it, and handed it to Ya Feng.

"Here, be careful, it's hot," she said with a smile.

Ya Feng was momentarily dazed before opening his mouth and eating the spoonful she fed him.

"Eh..." Elina blushed slightly, "Mr. Afeng, I... I wanted you to take the spoon..."

"Oh, I'm sorry,"

"It's alright, sometimes Xixi likes me feeding her like this," Elina said with a warm smile.

Damn it, Hikaria, I'm so envious!

"If you don't mind, you can have another bite." Elina scooped up another spoonful and fed it to Ya Feng.

Seeing that Ya Feng had eaten again, she asked expectantly:

"Is it tasty?"

"Delicious." Although he couldn't taste anything, or even identify what it was, it was just delicious, so damn delicious.

Seeing that Ya Feng seemed satisfied, Elina felt relieved and began to chat with him about school and family matters.

And not far from here

A small head wearing a baseball cap peeked out from behind the wall and looked at the two people in the courtyard.

“I see… I was wondering why you were all dressed up so neatly before going out. It turns out you were on a date with Mrs. Elena…” Ilsa squinted at the two people chatting happily.

This afternoon, Ya Feng said he was going out again, and he was dressed very neatly, which made her very suspicious of his intentions. Driven by curiosity, Ilsa secretly followed him out to see what he was up to.

Now that we can see it, it's no wonder Ya Feng put so much effort into tidying it up.

But why Elena? When did their relationship become so close that they could go on dates alone?

Ilsa was very puzzled.

...

"By the way, Mr. Ya Feng, um... may I ask you a question?"

As Elina sipped her milk matcha, she suddenly remembered something she had always forgotten to ask.

"Hmm, ask whatever you want," Ya Feng said, taking a bite of the flower dumpling.

"So, are you single right now?"

"?" The dumpling in Ya Feng's mouth suddenly lost its flavor.

"Um, please don't misunderstand. I was just talking about the field trip festival. You helped us and took such good care of Xixi, so I definitely wanted to prepare a gift for you. But you know, if the recipient has a partner or family, you have to consider the issue of avoiding suspicion beforehand and not give a gift that your loved one might misunderstand," Elina hurriedly explained, waving her hands.

"Oh, is that so..." Ya Feng nodded calmly.

"Master, your heart is beating so fast! It might be a heart attack. I suggest you go to the hospital immediately!" Xiao Guang called out from his chest.

"Xiao Guang, enter sleep mode." Ya Feng tapped the tablet, then cleared his throat.

"Don't worry, any kind of gift is fine, I'm not picky."

"So, Mr. Ya Feng, you're single too?" Elina asked.

“No, I mean no matter what the gift is, my wife wouldn’t misunderstand,” Ya Feng said.

"Ugh?"

Elina's eyes widened in surprise: "Yuan, so you're already married?"

"No, actually she's just my fiancée right now."

"Well, isn't that the same..."

She suddenly became restless and began to feel guilty for her recklessness.

Because Ya Feng had only brought Linda when he visited before, she assumed he was single, but now she knows he is married.

She went out for coffee alone with a married man, and they were just feeding each other affectionately a moment ago? How could she have done something so immoral?!

"Don't worry, she's easygoing and won't mind this kind of thing," Ya Feng said with a smile. "Besides, when you and Hikaria come to my house later, I'll introduce her to you."

"Even if... you go out for coffee with other single ladies, you won't mind?" Elina asked tentatively.

“No, that won’t happen,” Ya Feng nodded.

"Well, she is truly a kind lady." Elena forced a smile, but she was also slightly relieved.

Although it felt somewhat dangerous, Ya Feng had been teaching Hikaria at home for so long that the other party's wife must have already heard about him.

She patted her chest.
