Imperial City Imperial Palace, Main Hall.
Ji Chengxue was dressed in a golden dragon robe. With his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth in the hall with his chest puffed out. His face was filled with anxiety.
From time to time, he would stop and look into the distance with his brows furrowed. No one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly, a young eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the Main Hall.
"Your Majesty, General Xiao Meng requests an audience."
The shrill voice echoed in the hall. Ji Chengxue's face immediately revealed a trace of joy as he hurriedly said, "Invite him in."
Xiao Meng, dressed in a suit of battle armor, stepped into the hall with a helpless and bitter smile on his face.
Looking at Ji Chengxue, who was striding forward to welcome him, the bitterness on his face disappeared and he solemnly bowed to Ji Chengxue. Although Ji Chengxue was his junior, he was now the emperor and the proper etiquette was still necessary.
"General Xiao, about the store … Is there a conclusion?" Ji Chengxue anxiously asked.
He had to pay attention to this matter. It happened within the Imperial City, and now even an eighth grade War-God was involved. If any War-God were to lose the competition and become angry out of humiliation, it would be a huge disaster for the Imperial City.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The store's matter has been safely settled by Owner Bu. Owner Bu's trump cards and resources are beyond our imagination." Xiao Meng took a deep breath and said.
Speaking of Bu Fang's resources, his heart still trembled. That lump of metal puppet that could only fight him to a draw was now able to injure an eighth grade War-God with a single slash … It was terrifying.
And that dog … That fat dog that lay lazily at the entrance all day long. It was Xiao Meng's first time seeing this dog in action. Its methods were so terrifying and almost invincible.
Back then, he had already guessed that this dog was a supreme dog. Now, he was certain that this big black dog was a supreme spirit beast that could dominate an area!
Ji Chengxue's eyes suddenly lit up. He had been staying in the imperial palace and didn't know what happened in the alleyway. Now, he could get to know Xiao Meng better.
Xiao Meng bitterly smiled and told Ji Chengxue everything that happened in the alleyway.
In the Main Hall, Ji Chengxue was dumbfounded as he listened to Xiao Meng's narration. From time to time, he would gasp in shock.
…
The experts in the capital gradually left, and the Battle-Saints that filled the capital also gradually returned to its former tranquility.
Wu Yunbai and Master Ah Wu were taken away by Zhan Kong. Before they left, Wu Yunbai went to find Ah Ni and emphasized what Ah Ni had promised her.
The serpent-man Ah Ni and serpent-man Yu Feng were planning to leave after bidding farewell to Bu Fang, so they were going to stay in the Imperial City for a few more days.
Zhao Musheng was severely injured by Zhan Kong's slap and had already fled the Imperial City. Currently, no one knew where he was. He didn't participate in the terrifying battle in the alleyway either, so he managed to escape. If Zhao Musheng had participated in the battle, he would have been severely injured even if he didn't turn into a puddle of blood.
After Ni Yan completed her breakthrough, she forcefully dragged the drunkard out of Bu Fang's store. She looked at the two with disgust, which made Bu Fang slightly speechless.
The battle in the alleyway of the Imperial City ended in silence. That battle was simply terrifying. How many experts had fallen in the alleyway in front of the store? A layer of the alleyway's floor was shaved off by the battle. It was simply terrifying.
The Thirteen Bandits were lucky survivors of that battle. Fortunately, they managed to escape fast enough. Otherwise, they would have been turned into a mist of blood by the terrifying black dog's pressure.
The thirteen fellows were so frightened that they fled the Imperial City overnight and returned to their hometown of Mozhou.
"The city is too scary, I'll go back to the countryside …" That was probably what they were thinking at the time.
As night fell, a light breeze blew past, bringing with it a faint chill.
Two full moons hung in the sky, radiating brilliance with all their might, displaying their glory.
The surroundings of the full moons were filled with a dense curtain of stars, twinkling like a boundless ocean. The feeling of boundlessness filled one with endless reverie.
Fang Fang's Little Store in the Imperial City.
Bu Fang shook his head to clear his slightly dizzy mind. Then, he closed the door and ended the day's business.
He directly returned to his room and did not choose to step into the kitchen. Instead, he took a shower to wash away the smell of alcohol that permeated his body. Steaming hot air pervaded the air from the bathroom, causing his eyes to become misty.
Bu Fang walked out of the bathroom with a bathrobe wrapped around his chest. He let out a long breath and flung his wet hair, causing water to splatter everywhere.
After the shower, he was much more clear-headed. Bu Fang patted his somewhat numb face and leaned against the window. A light breeze blew past, causing his wet hair to become a little cold as it patted against his face.
Accompanied by the slightly chilly night breeze, Bu Fang's eyes became a little hazy. As his mind settled down, the serious and solemn voice of the system resounded in his mind.
"Host, the system's reward has been released. Please check."
The system's temporary missions were always strange. For example, this time, he had to use the Five Stripes Path-Understanding Fruit to create a dish. This was rather difficult for Bu Fang's culinary skills. However, without a doubt, in order to complete this mission, Bu Fang's culinary skills had improved significantly. Every temporary mission was helpful to Bu Fang's culinary skills.
The purpose of the system was to help Bu Fang become the God of Cooking who stood at the top of the food chain in the fantasy world.
In order to become a character who stood at the top of the food chain, Bu Fang also had to experience a lot of training. The system's missions provided different levels of training for Bu Fang every time. As Bu Fang's level increased, the difficulty of this temporary mission would increase.
Bu Fang smiled faintly and continued to calm his mind.
Host: Bu Fang
Gender: Male
Age: 21
True Energy Cultivation Base: Sixth Grade (Has already reached the true energy materialization state. As a man who wants to become the God of Cooking in the fantasy world, the next path of the host will be even more arduous and difficult. Work hard, young man!)
Cooking Talent: Two Stars
Skills: Level Two Meteor Cutting Technique (60/100), Level Two Big Dipper Carving Technique (0/100)
Tools: Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife (God of Cooking set)
God of Cooking overall rating: Junior Chef (Your culinary skills have finally begun to show their brilliance. Your talent has also begun to shine. Your cutting and carving techniques have also reached a higher level. The road to becoming the God of Cooking has opened for you.)
System Level: Six Stars (Vitality conversion ratio is at ninety percent. The host is allowed to capture ingredients and recruit apprentices.)
System Reward: Recipe for Dragon Liver Popsicle, one fragment of the God of Cooking set (2/3)
(System reminder: The Delicacies Map of the Alternate World has been activated. The host has to be teleported to the location of the Delicacies Map every week to study the local delicacies of the Alternate World and complete the system's temporary mission. Experience the local customs of various places, master the various types of delicacies, and experience the true culinary culture. The door to becoming the God of Cooking at the top of the food chain has opened for you.)
Bu Fang's mind returned and he immediately frowned. After advancing to sixth grade Battle-Emperor, Bu Fang's strength had increased by a lot. However, the requirements of the system seemed to have increased as well.
"The Delicacies Map of the Alternate World? What's that? "Bu Fang asked with some doubts.
"The Delicacies Map of the Alternate World is a map of the various delicacies in the Alternate World that the system custom-made for the host. The local customs of various places will be marked on it, and various culinary cultures will be introduced on it."
The system solemnly and earnestly explained.
Bu Fang was dumbfounded. Delicacies Map? According to the system's explanation, wouldn't he have to travel the entire Hidden Dragon Continent?
"With the host's current cultivation level, the map of the Light Wind Empire can only be activated. The map of the Southern Region, which is one level larger, requires the host to make a breakthrough," the system explained.
Bu Fang nodded. Even though his cultivation level had reached sixth grade Battle-Emperor, if he were to encounter a true expert, such as an eighth grade War-God, he really wouldn't be able to fight back.
"By the way, system, what does it mean by allowing me to recruit apprentices?" Bu Fang frowned again and asked in puzzlement.
"After activating the Delicacies Map, the host will temporarily leave the Light Wind Empire's capital. The restaurant needs chefs to help, so the host will need to recruit apprentices. After recruiting apprentices, the host will have to teach them one of the restaurant's signature dishes within a specified period of time."
The corner of Bu Fang's mouth twitched. What the hell? "How long is the specified period of time?"
"The system will analyze the talent of the apprentices to make a judgment," the system solemnly and earnestly replied.
Bu Fang suddenly felt a headache coming on. Recruiting apprentices … Only the system could think of this. But this was also good. After he left the Light Wind Empire's capital, the restaurant couldn't just close down and not open for business. The crystals earned from the opening of the restaurant were related to his cultivation level. Having an apprentice would be convenient.
However, the selection of apprentices was a big problem.
"Temporary mission: The host must find two apprentices within a month and teach them the signature dishes of the restaurant: Egg-Fried Rice, Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs, and Red Braised Meat. Mission reward: Recipe Record Book. "
Bu Fang was expressionless. As expected … the system's temporary mission came again. Couldn't it let him have a good rest?
