He wasn't afraid of cooking. With the help of the Mystery Artifact Box, he wasn't afraid of anything.
As for the box's mutation … well, it was just an accident.
He couldn't expect the box to mutate every time he used it, right? Even the previous owner of the box couldn't do such a thing.
But …
"Cooking is something I'll do later." Angor glanced at Luigi who was almost in front of him. "Aren't you curious about the effect of my blessing?" "Yeah.
Luigi said, "That's true. Earlier, Pew said that there's a gourmet enhancement spell that enhances cheeses. Don't tell me you're using cheese too? " "No."
Angor shook his head. "No. The blessing doesn't work on a specific type of Gourmet. It's an all-around buff. " "No."
"All-around buff?" "What do you mean?" "No."
Angor did not beat around the bush. "It's the smell!" "No."
"Taste?!" Luigi didn't know what to say.
"Yup. It's the smell of food. According to Blessing, as long as I make food, no matter what kind of food it is, it will have a certain degree of deliciousness. "No."
Something that already smelled good would taste better. Something that was fresh would taste better. Even something that wasn't tasty, such as a bitter witch's soup, would taste better under the effect of the "Taste" buff.
Every time he made a dish that was tasted better, he would get the same buff whenever he made the same dish in the future. The buff didn't have a time limit.
In other words, even after the effect of the blessing ended, the buff would still show up in his future creations. There was no time limit.
With such a buff, Angor wasn't afraid of cooking anymore.
He even made up his mind to visit Toby as soon as he was done here. He was going to show off his skills in front of Toby so that Toby wouldn't look down on his Mana Bread anymore.
If he could get the buff in the dream wasteland, he would meet Toby there. If he couldn't, he would find a way to get back to Brute Cavern before the buff wore off.
There was no time to waste.
Luigi: "Delicious bonus? Isn't that the same as the box? It won't affect the box's buff, right? " "No."
"No." Angor shook his head. "No. The box is a prop, and the blessing works directly on my food. "
Luigi's eyes flashed with joy. "Does that mean that with the secret instrument box, it will be double the delicacy? "
Angor nodded in a reserved manner. "I think so. "
Luigi became even more excited. Although he no longer had the so-called "cravings," it didn't mean that he didn't love food. If he could eat something delicious, he would also be very happy.
Both Luigi and Angor were looking forward to it. He didn't think Gourmet Blessings would do him any good, but at least it could wash away his shame in front of Greya and Toby.
On the other hand, Pew, who was familiar with the effects of blessings, looked at Luigi's excited expression and then at Angor's smirk.
"Yummy bonus … It sounds good, but from a practical point of view, it's even weaker than cheese-type spells. Pi Wu thought to himself.
Although he didn't know much about gourmet adepts, he still had some basic knowledge. For example, he knew that cheese-type spells weren't just for making cheese.
For example, offensive Cream Wind, control-type Cheese Sticker, and all kinds of supportive Cheese Gourmet spells were all cheese-type spells.
At least cheese-type spells weren't just about taste. They also had other "interesting" effects.
But Angor's blessing only increased the taste of his food. Wasn't that a bit too weak?
Of course, Pi Wu only thought about it in his mind. If there was really something delicious in front of him, he wouldn't reject it.
"Do you want to try the effect of Yummy now?" Sage Pika looked at him.
"If you need, I can send someone to deliver some ingredients." "Alright."
Angor considered. "I don't need ingredients. My Gourmet Cantrip is to make food directly, so I don't need many ingredients. "Alright.
You can make food without using ingredients? Pika couldn't wait to see what kind of Gourmet abilities Angor possessed.
However, Angor didn't do that right away. He still had some questions to answer.
"I've looked through all the information I've got. Other than the images of some half-orcs, there's nothing related to beastification in terms of the effects of the blessings. Angor looked at Pi Wu. "Are you sure the illusion has something to do with Yummy?" One.
Pi Wu hesitated. "If it was before, I'm sure. But this time, I'm not so sure. " Two.
"It's because you've appeared in an image. This is the first time something like this has happened since I started giving out blessings. Two.
"There are half-orcs in the images. If the illusion is related to the half-orcs in the images instead of Mister Angor, then it won't be related. Two.
"But if we go by past experience …" Pi Wu paused for a moment and did not continue.
But Angor already knew what he was getting at.
Based on his previous experience, the illusion that appeared during each blessing was more or less related to the effect of the blessing.
If Angor's blessing was the same, then the beastification effect … might happen to him.
"It's not written in the effect either." Angor mumbled, "So … every time I make food, I get beastified? The kind with long ears and a tail? "…"
While thinking about this, Angor already had some strange images in his mind.
Apart from his body, those images all looked like his own face, which was even weirder.
Every time he thought about his beast form, he felt a strange sense of uneasiness. Something was wrong with him.
Luigi noticed Angor's hesitation. "It's not a big deal if you want to shapeshift. It's not like it's permanent anyway. It'll be gone in a month. " "…"
"Besides, if you're a True Beast, you can just use an illusion to cover it up. "…"
Angor thought about it and realized that Luigi was right.
Because of the Germinal Organization's believers, he rarely showed his real face to others. He even used a Shapeshift spell to change his face. What was there to worry about?
With that in mind, Angor decided to just let it be. It wouldn't last long anyway.
However, even though he was no longer conflicted, he still had to experiment.
Did beastification happen when he was making food? Or perhaps, there was no beast transformation at all. Was he worrying for nothing?
With these questions in mind, Angor waved his hand. "I'll make food! Alright! "
"Count me in!" Luigi quickly replied. "Alright!"
Laplace glanced at Angor. "Count me in as well. "Alright."
Pika and Pew were also looking forward to Angor's food, but they didn't say it out loud. However, Angor didn't need them to say anything. "Everyone here will get one! "Alright.
He thought for a moment and added, "If the food really does turn into a beast, and it's a very strange one, I'll only do it once. It'll be up to fate to see who gets to eat it in the end. "Alright.
When he said that, he was already showing some of the pride of a chef.
"… But can't Gourmet spells make more than one at a time? "Alright.
Besides, aren't you a Gourmet Cantrip? Isn't it easier to make more than one at a time? "
Angor looked at Luigi in silence. "Am I a Gourmet Student? "
"Besides, the better the food, the rarer it is. "
With that, Angor decided to let his work do the talking.
What work? Of course.
Mana Bread.
That was the only Gourmet Cantrip he knew.
Mana Bread was a cantrip that many beginner apprentices could use because it allowed them to use "mana" as raw material to make food that could fill their stomachs.
If someone accidentally got trapped in a forbidden area, such as a ruin, a special dimension, or a secret realm, Mana Bread could at least be used as an emergency food so that they wouldn't starve to death.
This wasn't an exaggeration. As far as Angor knew, many apprentices who got trapped in different secret realms for decades or even centuries managed to survive by using Mana Bread and Water Creation.
The reason why he chose to learn Mana Bread was because he was forced to do so in a similar situation.
Generally speaking, Mana Bread could be used to make bread that could fill one's stomach in an emergency.
However, if he wasn't in such a hurry, he could choose to use some consumables as raw materials.
In this way, the resulting Magic Bread would have a different taste.
Angor didn't want to use the original flavor of Mana Bread this time.
Back in Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom, Angor used a Secret Instrument Box to make Mana Bread and Mana Meat as a consumable.
This time, he decided to use a different consumable.
Demon nourishing meat, although it was good, but it had failed once before. Even if it wasn't Mana Meat, Angor didn't want to use it this time just to be safe.
He glanced around and finally picked up the orange that had a scorched mark on it.
The hot orange fell into Angor's Ruthless Iron Hand. There was already a burnt hole at the bottom of the orange, which gave off a sweet aroma.
Whether it was the fragrant skin or the sweet flesh, they were all good consumables.
Angor decided to use the orange as a spellcasting consumable. This time, he was going to challenge a difficult Mana Bread — Orange-Flavored Mana Bread!
Under everyone's gazes, Angor's eyes glowed with a confident look.
He began to draw the spirit model of the Mana Bread in his mind space. The lines were a little rough, but it didn't affect the overall situation.
With a steady flow of energy, the model of the Mana Bread was completed.
Next, he "sacrificed" the orange meat.
As the meat disappeared, Angor's hand began to emit a bright and dazzling light.
The outline of a loaf of bread slowly appeared on his hand.
At first, everyone's attention was on Angor's hand. But as the outline of the loaf of bread became clearer, they slowly shifted their attention to Angor's head.
They saw the illusions of animal ears on both sides of Angor's head.
The animal ears … looked like cat ears.
The reason why they were called "like" cat ears was because this pair of small and exquisite cat ears were red in color. The bright red color on the fur was like the finest pigeon blood gemstone.
The red cat ears looked both elegant and cruel.
However, it didn't look right on Angor's head when he was making the Mana Bread seriously and confidently.
While everyone was observing the birth of the "cat-eared boy", Angor's Orange Bread was about to reach the final stage.
The beautiful lines, the mellow outline, and the plump shell all revealed the maturity of this pastry.
However, what came with maturity was not a charm, but … an extremely strange taste.
It was like an orange peel that was stepped on by a sweaty man and left on an overfermented shelf. There was the salty smell of sweaty feet, the sour smell of the fermented orange peel, and the rotten smell of dead bookworms.
Salty, sour, and rotten.
There was only one word to describe it: stinky!
It was so stinky that everyone's attention was drawn back to Angor's hand by the sour smell.
"W-what is this …?"
Pew took three steps back and stared at the bread in Angor's hand in disbelief.
Sage Pika also took a step back. It was originally sitting by the fireplace, but now it went straight to the sofa at the back. It even shrank into the sofa. It swallowed dryly and said, "Is this the legendary dark delicacy? Dark Delicacy?
Similar to how rumors about the mirror world would spread in the real world.
Similarly, rumors about the mirror world would also spread in the real world.
For example, Dark Delicacy.
The so-called Dark Delicacy was the kind of food that smelled bad but tasted good.
No one knew whether Dark Delicacy existed or not. But this rumor was already spreading like wildfire.
Not to mention Sage Pika and Piw, even Luigi took two steps back.
The smell was too strong. Luigi couldn't react in time and took a few steps back out of instinct.
When he regained his senses and tried to "discuss" with Angor, he saw Angor quickly tossing away the bread that looked nice but had a strange smell.
Into … his bracelet.
The smell disappeared just as quickly as it came.
The only one who wasn't affected by the smell was Laplace. It was easy for her to block her sense of smell. Compared to the odd-smelling bread, she was more curious about Angor.
Although the smell of the food this time was not as strong as the smell from the secret instrument box, it was still very strong. But it still smelled terrible.
And both times, Angor was responsible for it.
She was now wondering why Angor always made mistakes when making Mana Bread.
Was this an accident? Or perhaps, this was fate?
