The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 562 Chef Star Rating
"Moran! You've finally arrived!" Vasita flew over from the buildings of Delicious Island on a broomstick.

Moran looked at her multicolored scales that shimmered in the sunlight: "This is your dragon scale armor? It looks much more dazzling than in the photos."

Vasita jumped onto her flying carpet, spun around, and showed off her dragon scale armor: "Right! It's just that I haven't defeated enough dragons, and the dragon scales I've won are only enough to make one half-body armor."

"No wonder you're the powerful witch Vasita who can shatter dragon scales with your bare hands!" Moran said. "I've heard your legend all over Moon Harbor."

"It must have been those dragonborn and dragon servants who came ashore to buy supplies who spread the word... Actually, they're not that powerful. When I fight dragons, it's all hand-to-hand combat, I don't use any magic. If I really used magic, I'm not sure I could win..."

Vasida was modest, but the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her.

Clearly, she is now very confident in her physical strength.

"What about magic? How's your witch magic coming along? If your witch magic level is high, its power shouldn't be any less than dragon language magic, right? And it's even more flexible." Moran asked knowingly.

Vasita is bound to a {character card}, and Moran can easily find out her magic level by checking the card book.

Compared to her rapidly increasing physical strength, her progress in magical abilities is rather insignificant.

Currently, there are only one or two spells that have reached the pinnacle level.

Even without a superhuman memory, her progress in learning magic was still too slow.

Vasita felt a little guilty; she had indeed neglected her magical studies for a long time.

Moran sighed and reminded her:

"Are you planning to give up the advantage of unlimited magical talent in all magic systems of a witch, focus on cultivating your Devouring Stomach, improve your physical strength, and use hand-to-hand combat as your main means of fighting?"
One punch can shatter the hardest dragon scales in the world, but one punch can't take down a group of henchmen at once!
Don't forget, the dragon race is renowned for both its dragon language magic and its physical strength. If they only possessed formidable physiques, they wouldn't be among the strongest races in Valen. The strong shouldn't have weaknesses.

“I understand!” Vasita quickly replied, “I’ve also been looking for ways to integrate magic into physical combat systems recently.”

Knowing that Vasita was aware of the situation, Moran was relieved: "In this regard, the dragon race is outstanding. I will help you keep an eye out for information on their lineage."

"Hmm!" Vasita breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, she suddenly felt the same nervousness she had when taking an exam in school.

To ease the tension, she quickly began to introduce the situation at Delicious Island:

"The westernmost part of Delicious Island, where there are no mountains surrounding it, is where the dock is located."

In the past, ships often docked here, and ingredients shipped from all over Valencia were delivered here to the nearby food market for the island's chefs to choose from.

The chef can also hire dragonborn and dragon servants from the docks to purchase the ingredients they need.

However, after the Dawn Society developed, the docks became much quieter, with only the food market remaining bustling.

However, nowadays, most of the food stalls in the food market sell food-related cards that can be exchanged for using magical energy at the Dawn Academy.

The ring of mountains surrounding the island has now become a designated landing spot for dragons. Due to limited space on Delicious Island, all dragons first transform into human form on the mountains before entering the island to enjoy their meal.

However, after the dragons discovered the two valuable items, {Food Card} and {Communication Card}, they visited Food Island much less frequently.

If you're craving something delicious, you either buy a food card from the Dawn Learning Center or contact the corresponding chef using your {communication card} to make a reservation in advance and come eat at the appointed time.

"No wonder I felt the island was a bit deserted!"

So far, Moran has only seen one red dragon on the island, a far cry from the scenes she'd read about in her books—dragons of all colors rising and falling, ships coming and going, and wyverns transporting goods. "What's that place?" Moran asked, pointing to the domed building in the center of the island.

The houses on Delicious Island, though varying in shape and style, all occupy only a certain amount of land.

Basically, it's a two-story building with a small courtyard.

Only the central domed building is particularly tall, clearly a landmark.

"That's the restaurant of the builder of Delicious Island, the brass dragon Crotak, and also the chef qualification assessment center."

Once you're rated a star chef by Crotak, he'll send a servant to help you settle into the island's chef community.

Whether you build your dream home on vacant land or move into an existing empty house, it's all fine.

The higher the star rating of a chef, the better their benefits.

Skilled chefs can earn magical resources here entirely through their culinary skills.

Klotak will guarantee the rights of the island's chefs, but the chefs of Delicious Island cannot refuse to serve dragon diners without a reason, nor can they leave Delicious Island on their own.

Of course, this applies to chefs of other races; here, the gourmet witch can choose her own guests.

You can leave Delicious Island at any time if you wish.

The benefits are the same for everyone, but if the house remains unoccupied for a year, it might be allocated to another chef.

Moran listened and nodded; she had heard about the rules of Delicious Island.

The dragons are quite generous to the chefs on Delicious Island, but they restrict the personal freedom of the chefs on the island.

The better the skill, the harder it is to escape.

However, Delicious Island is also the place in all of Valencia that treats chefs the best.

They even created a special ranking system for chefs, giving them a status similar to spellcasters.

"In the Dragon Clan's chef evaluation system, what star chef are you now?" Moran asked curiously.

“One star…” Vasita had once devoted herself to studying cooking magic and recipes, wanting to become a gourmet witch who could fill her own stomach.

However, Moran unexpectedly created the {Food Card} and even taught her how to turn her witch talent into the {Trash Can Card}.

The food card satisfied her appetite.

The {Trash Can Card} not only earned her a considerable amount of magic power, but also filled her stomach as the Dawn Academy developed.

Therefore, she didn't put as much effort into cooking.

"The Dragon Clan's rating system for chefs is too strict."

Actually, when I first came here, based solely on the quality and deliciousness of my cooking, I was still a little short of being a one-star chef.

Fortunately, I am a witch, skilled in cooking magic, and have a relatively fast cooking speed, which is how I obtained a one-star chef's certificate.

You know Ais, right? She came to Dragon Island after graduation, specializing in culinary magic. After all these years, she's only just now obtained her three-star chef's certificate.
