Chapter 4: The Prologue to the Spirit of the Halberd
The darkness shrouded the surroundings, which made Zhao Jiangchen's heart slowly swell with a trace of fear, after all, this kind of unknown in the darkness would make people with weaker spirits collapse. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Suddenly, a light shone over, surprisingly, Zhao Jiangchen didn't feel how dazzling this light was, on the contrary, this soft light made Zhao Jiangchen feel very comfortable.
"The Dream Kitchen system is opened, and the identity of the system holder is authenticated... Certified... Certified. β
"Holder: Zhao Jiangchen"
"Gender: Male"
"Cooking level: only make some shoddy junk food that even roadside pet dogs don't want to eat"
"Physiological condition: mild dizziness"
"Acquired Ability: None"
"Strength: A swan dog on the side of the road that only sells cuteness due to lack of combat effectiveness, can't be weaker"
"After the assessment, do I need to turn on the smart instructor?"
After reading the above assessment, Zhao Jiangchen's heart was broken, "The level of cooking skills... Very good... What the hell is hey, what is the shoddy food that you don't even want to eat on the side of the road? Why am I so happy eating, bastard! (β―β΅β‘β²)β―(β»ββ»Are you not as good as a dog!) β
"Forget about the level of cooking, what the hell is the strength! Swan Dog is another thing, huh? The strength must be about the same as Godzilla, right?! (β―"β‘β²)β―(β»ββ», I really want to kill you!! β
"Do you want to turn on the smart instructor? Countdown to three seconds..."
"yes, yes, bastard! Of course it's on! β
Completely ignoring Zhao Jiangchen's roar, the mechanized voice continued to come, "Open to confirm." β
After waiting for a while, a female voice came, "Hello respected system owner, I am your instructor, do you need any help?" The voice is playful and cute, and what appears in front of me is a little Lori who is much smaller than herself.
"Why are the intelligence of the systems in these novels all girls? Strange..."
"That's of course, because the relationship between the holder of the system, intelligence as the opposite sex, and being the shape of the holder's dream lover, is more likely to arouse the interest of the holder. A strange otaku like you, no wonder I'm going to be like this. Little Lori's eyes were full of contempt when she looked at Zhao Jiangchen.
"Don't... Don't say that.,I'm not a Lolicon.,I'm not a Lolicon.,I just like cute Lori... Wait, don't talk about that, can you tell me about this dream kitchen system. Zhao Jiangchen deliberately ignored her later sentence, because he was afraid that he would not be able to help but kill her.
"Of course, holder, this system is dedicated to developing the most delicious food in the universe, so build a chef."
"It's as simple as that?"
"yes, it's as simple as that, if you can't understand it, then I'll elaborate, in fact, my existence is to make you the best chef you can be. The true god of cooking, the god of cooks, the chef of gods. β
Looking at the proud appearance of the little Lori in front of him, Zhao Jiangchen didn't know where to start complaining, forget it, let her go, she is still a child..."Then what should I call you?" Zhao Jiangchen looked at this little Lori with interest, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, fortunately he is not a Lolita, otherwise he would be attracted by her cuteness and immature charm... Well,It's just that I kind of like her cuteness.,It's not Lolicon...
"Ahh Are you going to name me, okay, if it sounds good, I'll be happy. Lori stared at Zhao Jiangchen without blinking with her big cute eyes.
"Why don't you call you a snack, you see you're here to train a chef..."
"Don't, don't... It's hard to hear! People don't want to call it that! β
"Okay, okay, really, why don't you call it Xiaomeng, what a cute name, right?"
"Okay, okay, people just reluctantly accept the name, not because I like it very much."
"The permission to change the name of the intelligent system has not been opened, please open it after the holder completes the trial." The cold mechanical sound from before came again.
"Ah, Xiaomeng, tell me about the trial, I'm so prepared."
"Well, the basic trial is to throw you in a different plane according to your initial physical condition and cooking level, hone your skills, complete some tasks, search for some food materials, etc., if you succeed, you will become the master of the system, and if you fail... You know~"
"Okay, I see, so when will I be able to start the trial?"
"Don't worry, there's a trial gift package given by the system here, are you sure you don't want to open it?"
"OK... OK a fart, open... It must be opened. β
"Hmph, you scold people, they won't open it for you..."
"The Trials Bundle is open." The cold mechanical sound sounded again, and at the same time, a red box appeared in front of Zhao Jiangchen, and the box was slowly opening.
"Ahh I'm so angry, you hurry up and complete the trial, so that people can have a certain amount of management authority, well~~ I'm angry, I can't control anything now... Woo..."
Really... It's really uncontrollable to see little Lori selling cute.,What if I put me in an anime with a little more girls? Can I keep my heart and open the harem... Yes... Must be able to, it's not easy to live in the world, to be able to enter the two-dimensional world that all otaku dream of once, if you don't complete your ambitions, how can you stop! Well, Lori is still cute...
"Congratulations to the holder, temporarily obtained: Culinary Skill Mastery (Beginner Mastery), a Magical Kitchen Knife, Absorption Power, Ingredient Extraction Ability (Basic Level). Please pay attention to the holder's check. β
Suddenly, some knowledge flowed like a clear spring, softly injected into Zhao Jiangchen's mind, all kinds of recipes, cooking skills, knife work, plating skills, ingredient identification methods, ingredient matching methods, etc. A large amount of knowledge was absorbed by Zhao Jiangchen little by little.
At the same time, he also understood what the power of absorption and the ability to absorb materials were.
The power of absorption can be achieved by absorbing the ability of the ingredients contained in the food you make. This ability seems to be very powerful, but in fact there are many limitations, first, the food must be 100% perfect, and second, the higher the ability, the more difficult it is to absorb...
The ability to peel materials is much more straightforward, just like the ability in Monster Hunter, the value of the ingredients peeled out by the skill will be several times higher than the ingredients peeled out manually, and the taste of the food made at the same time will be several times stronger, but the same creature can only be peeled twice, and the number of times can also be increased as the skill improves.
The magic kitchen knife will cut out much more delicate materials than ordinary materials, and it can be transformed into any shape you want.
"The rewards have been distributed, and the next step is to screen the trial dungeons..."
"Screened and ready to enter the dungeon: Halberd Spirit"
"I'm going to the spirit of the ********?" Zhao Jiangchen's face is a little not very good, he has watched this anime, to be precise, he has watched a little bit, because the spirit of **** hurts his body too much, this child who can't keep up with nutrition can only hoard the anime first, and he hasn't watched it again after watching four or five episodes in a hurry in the first season, and now he suddenly lets him enter this no...
"Wait... Turns out I'm really going to enter the two-dimensional world... Wow..."
Before he could say anything, another powerful suction force struck, and Zhao Jiangchen's figure was sucked into a black portal.
"Whew..."Suddenly the eyes opened, the white ceiling, the fresh... The smell of disinfectant water... All of them stimulated Zhao Jiangchen's brain, "This is the hospital!" This smell, it smells terrible, anyway... Am I in the world of the Halberd Spirit now? Doesn't this look and feel like it's the three-dimensional world?,The style of painting around here... Kindness... It's also three-dimensional... Was everything that came before a dream? β
After being silent for a long time, Zhao Jiangchen's heart sank, "Is this one of the countless dreams I've had..."
Just as he was thinking about something, a detail caught his attention, a wall calendar on the wall, the words on it... Japanese... Moreover, he can read...
"Damn... Sure enough, it's not a dream!! β
In this way, after cheering happily for more than ten minutes, the door on the side was opened, and a beautiful girl in a nurse's uniform walked in.
"Are you awake? I've heard your noisy voice from afar, don't you know this is a hospital? β
Listening to the nurse's soft voice, Zhao Jiangchen's soul was about to fly.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, and I'm a little happy to feel that I'm okay."
"It's okay, since your body is much better, let's leave quickly, you fainted at the door of the academy before, and you were carried over, and your things were put in the bag at the bedside, by the way, I think you still have something to do." The nurse chuckled and reminded him.
"Huh? What's the matter? β
"Huh? Aren't you here to take the transfer exam? The transfer student exam of Yuanyue Academy. I saw the book next to you, it's the transfer student guide of Far Moon Academy. β
"Huh?" Zhao Jiangchen picked up a piece of paper from the bedside table, and the content described on it was indeed a guide for transfer students of Yuanyue Academy.
"I heard that the exam is about to start, I suggest you hurry up, otherwise it will be too late."
"What? Thank you so much, I'll rush over now! After speaking, Zhao Jiangchen immediately jumped up from the bed, picked up the things on the bedside and rushed out.
"Allah, what an energetic boy." The nurse sister looked at Zhao Jiangchen's back and smiled even more happily.
"Oh no... I just rushed out of the patronage, but I forgot to ask where the exam is, Yuanyue Academy is really big, so I have to find when to go... Ah, the transfer student's guide..."
Fortunately, there is also a piece of paper in the transfer student's guide, the map of Yuanyue Academy.
"Phew, this place isn't very far, I'll see... Well, isn't this the building next to me..."
Just when Zhao Jiangchen looked embarrassed, the door of the building was opened, and a large number of people rushed out with frightened faces, as if there was some flood beast behind them.
"Alle... The place I'm here is really the Spirit of the Halberd, I'm sure it's not a place like an alien..."Zhao Jiangchen swallowed a deep mouthful of saliva.
