The chicken's task is done, and all that's left is the mushrooms.

Chen Qing looked at the map and found a nearby village at the foot of the mountain. The mountains near such villages are relatively safe, after all, humans do not build villages in too dangerous places.

Of course, the village is also surrounded by high walls – just in case.

After wandering around the mountains and forests several times, Chen Qing finally found some wild mushrooms under a few damp trees near the stream.

After picking them all, he looked at the system panel that showed "Step 2 Completed", and he put the mushrooms in his backpack with confidence.

You don't have to tell what kind of mushroom this is, anyway, the system says that the task is completed, so it must be edible - because there are three words "edible" in the task requirements, isn't it?

Chen Qing, who was full of harvest, took a backpack of loot back to the city by bus, and it only took half a day.

When he arrived at home, his parents were at work at this point, and no one bothered him, so Chen Qing went directly to the kitchen to clean the chicken and mushrooms.

After following the recipe he found on the Internet, he brought a pot of chicken soup to the table.

Scratch through the system interface:

【Gourmet Hunting System】

[Main Quest 1: Completed]

[Task evaluation: The materials are acceptable, the cooking skills are very poor, and I barely pass. What are you waiting for? Dry this pot of chicken soup and start your martial arts path, more delicacies are waiting for you ahead, rookie]

[Reward: The key to the cultivation gate is in the chicken soup]

Chen Qing glanced at it, quickly picked up a spoon and scooped the chicken soup into the bowl, and drank a bowl without caring about the heat.

Then came the second bowl, the third bowl...... In the end, I even ate all the chicken and mushrooms, and even chewed a few breast ribs and swallowed them - for fear that this "key" would be hidden in the bone marrow.

It stands to reason that he can't drink a big pot of chicken soup as an ordinary person, but under the magical effect of the system, Chen Qing didn't even feel bloated after drinking a whole pot, but his head was a little dizzy......

"Smack!"

Chen Qing slammed his head on the table and passed out.

By the time he woke up, it was already past 4 p.m., and he had been asleep for four hours.

He stretched out his hand and pressed his temples to relieve the headache that was about to crack, and asked the system, "Has my martial arts introduction been successful?" Why do you still have sequelae? ”

[Of course the introduction was successful.] However, your headache is not caused by the sequelae of the system, but because the mushrooms you pick contain trace amounts of toxins, which can cause lethargy and headaches.

"What's that?" Chen Qing was stunned, and then shouted, "The mushrooms I picked meet the requirements of the system!" The 'edible' article has passed! ”

[Trace toxins are not harmful, so the system judges them to be edible, and there is no error]

What the hell am I ...... Forget it, the brain hurts, and I don't care about the intellectual disability system.

Chen Qing continued to massage the various acupoints on his head, and only after the headache had been relieved a lot did he put on a strange standing posture in the living room—a standing pile technique taught at school.

Gifted students can use this stump method to practice qi and blood through this method of standing on the pile, combined with ingredients or pills of great supplements.

After having qi and blood, you will become a reserve martial artist, and you can participate in the martial arts examination in July every year, be admitted to the martial arts university, and start the road of cultivation.

When Chen Qing first taught this kind of standing pile method in school, he also practiced hard, but his qualifications were too poor and he couldn't enter the door.

Until the second year of high school, he still failed to practice a trace of qi and blood, so he had to transfer to the liberal arts class and live an ordinary life.

And now, after completing the first task of the system, he tried to stand on the stake again, and found that there was indeed an indescribable strange energy in his body.

It's subtle, but it's there—it's the power of blood and qi!

Chen Qing put away the posture of standing on the pile, and that feeling disappeared. But that didn't take the joy out of his heart.

He asked the system with a smile on his face: "Haha, I'm in!" Then will I be able to practice martial arts normally in the future? ”

[No, your qualifications are too poor, and if you cultivate in a normal way, you will stop in this life, and you can only follow the system to take a special path]

Hearing the first half of the system's words, Chen Qing almost didn't come up in one breath, thanks to the fact that it didn't pant heavily, telling himself that there was other hope.

"Then I don't have to be admitted to the Martial Arts University, just have my own faction?" Chen Qing asked again.

[It's not.] The system can only help you break through the realm, but it can't teach you martial arts knowledge, nor can it provide combat martial arts, and there is no future for your own faction.

Well, it seems that I still have to take the martial arts exam in July.

Chen Qing continued to ask: "It's the beginning of April, and there are still 3 months left before the martial arts exam, is it too late this year?"

[Of course.] The system has arranged a comprehensive plan for you, which can be viewed in the task panel.

As soon as the emotionless mechanical sound of the system ended, Chen Qing immediately opened the system interface:

【Gourmet Hunting System】

[Main quest 2: Your talent is too poor, you can only learn to cook with me, and the most basic practice of cooking is repetition. From today onwards, the Sanhua flock will open the fear of being dominated by you]

[Task Step 1: Kill a three-flowered chicken alone, cook it in any way, and eat it whole (this time you can't even have the chicken butt left)]

[Step 2: Repeat step 1 within a month until you complete it 100 times]

[Task Reward: Ignore talent qualifications and quickly cultivate to 500 points of qi and blood fluctuation (this reward will be distributed with the progress of the mission)]

The task description still made Chen Qing speechless, but he didn't care about these bells and whistles, the point was - one month, 500 qi and blood fluctuations!

Can you complete half of the martial arts forging in the preparatory stage by eating chicken?

In those 3 months, it is estimated that it can reach 1,000 points of qi and blood fluctuations, close to the first-order martial artists, and it is not a problem to pass the martial arts exam!

"System, what do you rely on to help me improve my strength?" Chen Qing couldn't help but ask.

[It's very simple, relying on humans can't absorb the magic energy of transformation.] Warcraft has magical energy in its body, but the human body cannot absorb it, and even excessive amounts into the body will be harmful.

But the system can help the host absorb this energy and turn it into its own cultivation.

I see! Chen Qing suddenly realized.

For a long time, except for the three-flowered chicken, a magical beast with low magic energy content, it can be eaten directly, and the magic energy can be naturally discharged;

The more advanced magical beasts, after being hunted by humans, must go through special treatment to dispel the magic energy before they can be eaten.

Therefore, eating Warcraft meat is a fresh food for human beings, and it cannot improve any strength.

"Then can I just go and buy the meat of the monsters that others hunted? Isn't this a faster way to improve your strength? ”

After Chen Qing understood the essence of the system, his mind suddenly relaxed.

And waiting for his answer is: [Please open the panel and read the system name carefully]

What is the name of the system? Food Hunting System...... Okay, Chen Qing understands the meaning of the system - you kid wants to fucking fart!
