The next morning, Meg opened his eyes almost at the exact same time as the alarm clock beside his bed rang. He stared blankly for a moment before turning off the alarm clock.
Just a second ago, he had received the system's approval for three different flavors of roast beef kebabs in the test field for the God of Cookery, and the sun had risen as soon as he opened his eyes. This time, he had spent 100 days in the test field for the God of Cookery before learning how to make roast beef kebabs. It was quite clear just how complex the process was, and every single step was a challenge for him.
However, during these 100 days, Meg had also learned many things. He had improved his cooking skills, his understanding of spices and condiments, and his control of heat … He had mastered all of these aspects to the extreme, and it could be said that he had achieved many of his goals.
I should be able to make a delicious roast beef kebab for Amy this morning as a surprise, right? Meg got up from the bed. Even though his body had been resting this entire time in the test field for the God of Cookery, cooking roast beef kebabs for over 100 days in a row was still quite exhausting. He felt as if his mind would be filled with roast beef kebabs as soon as he closed his eyes.
"Ding! New mission: Hunt down a mature Ironhide Bull within 24 hours, and obtain a portion of the bull's upper brain to be used as an ingredient for your first roast beef kebabs on the Norland Continent. Punishment for mission failure: decrease of one strength point. Reward for mission success: all ingredients and kitchenware required for roast beef kebabs will be granted. "
"Holy f * ck! You're doing this again, system! How annoying! Now people are going to say that you don't have any fun missions, and that you're giving me repetitive missions with no creativity at all! Is this what a f * cking system should do? Furthermore, as a God of Cookery cultivation system, you don't let your chef cook at home. Instead, you send him out to hunt every day, catching pigs and cows. Can't you let me be a handsome man who cooks quietly? "Mag complained with a roll of his eyes.
The system was silent for a moment before replying, "If the host can complete the mission within 12 hours, the reward will be upgraded. Aside from the ingredients and kitchenware required for roast beef kebabs, you'll also receive 0.5 strength point and a mooncake recipe."
"That's right. That's our dear and adorable System. Only our System can come up with such a fresh and adorable mission," Meg immediately got up from the bed and said while changing his clothes. His face wasn't red at all.
What was a physical fitness point?
It was light! That was the hope of humanity's progress! That was 250,000 gold coins!
Of course, the last point was the most important.
Going out and catching a Bronze-Skinned Wild Bull would give him 0.5 Vitality Points as a reward. To Meg, who was crazily trying to level up, this was simply too good to be true. What was there to be tired of? Catching a Bronze-Skinned Wild Bull was equivalent to earning!
Although the system had yet to announce the price of the next Strength Point, with the system's nature, the previous Strength Point was already sold for 50,000 gold coins. It was impossible to buy this Strength Point from him without at least 100,000 gold coins.
Furthermore, in addition to the physical fitness points, the system had also given him a mooncake recipe. He had promised Amy that he would make mooncakes for her on the night of the full moon tomorrow to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now, everything was ready.
As soon as the Strength Point Mission was announced, Meg felt completely awake. He looked at Amy, who was lying on the bed beside him.
"The system solemnly warns the host that this mission requires the host to complete it alone. It is strictly prohibited to bring along any unconventional weapons, including your daughter," the system's solemn voice sounded.
"System, I would like to raise a serious objection to your words. Amy is the apple of my eye. She is my sweet little sweetheart. How can you describe her as an unconventional weapon? You are seriously misinterpreting my fatherly love. You are viciously harming my character and dignity. Therefore, in order to express my objection, I have decided to bring her along for an autumn outing, "Meg said sternly.
"…"
A series of ellipses silently floated past, full of the system's complex feelings.
Meg whistled as he went downstairs. First, he made two servings of Yangzhou fried rice. Then, he went upstairs to wake Amy up and announced to her that he would be skipping school today to go on an autumn outing.
"Father, can we really skip school today and go on an autumn outing?" Amy rubbed her sleepy eyes as she looked at Meg in surprise.
"Yes. Aside from the autumn outing, we have to go out to gather materials and catch a big cow. When we come back, Father will make delicious roast beef kebabs for you." Meg nodded with a smile. He found a simple pinkish-blue floral dress from the wardrobe and changed into it for Amy before taking her downstairs.
"Roast beef kebabs? Is that a lot of roast meat? "Amy looked at Meg expectantly.
"Yes, Amy can eat as much as she wants." Meg nodded seriously and flashed a bright smile at Amy.
"Father, you are the best!" Amy hugged Meg's leg happily. Then, she quickly picked up Ugly Duckling, which was still lazing around in bed, and shook it gently. "Ugly Duckling, if you don't get up now, we're going to leave you alone at home."
Ugly Duckling, which was still pretending to be asleep, immediately opened its eyes and looked at Amy with a hint of panic in its eyes. It shook its head and meowed.
"Then let's go together." Meg looked at Ugly Duckling with a smile. When they went out last night, Ugly Duckling was already asleep, and it wasn't convenient to carry it, so they left it at home to sleep. However, when they came back, this little guy was lying in front of the floor-to-ceiling window downstairs, looking out with an extremely aggrieved expression.
"Meow, meow!" Ugly Duckling immediately cried happily.
"Alright, then I'll take you, but you have to walk on your own later. You're not a baby anymore." Amy spoke to the aggrieved Ugly Duckling in her arms with a serious expression. She then spread open her arms toward Meg, and said, "Father, I want to carry you."
"Alright, Princess Amy." Meg turned around with a smile and extended his broad shoulders toward Amy.
"Thank you." Amy put down Ugly Duckling and bent her knees slightly before lying down on Meg's back with an elated smile. She looped her arms around his neck, and smiled as she said, "Let's go!"
"Meow, meow ~" Ugly Duckling was standing on the bed with an urgent look on its face. Meg then scooped it up in his arms, and carried Amy downstairs.
After breakfast, Meg took out the leave request that he had written last time and pasted it on the door. While there were still no customers outside the restaurant, he rode his bicycle toward the mercenary union with Amy and Ugly Duckling. He had to find out where Ironhide Bulls could be found near Chaos City.
…
"No way! Mr. Mak went out to gather ingredients again! Doesn't that mean I won't be able to eat delicious savory tofu pudding today?! "Outside Amy's, all of the customers heaved forlorn sighs upon seeing the leave request on the door.
