The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 720 Dream World 58
Upon entering the dream world, Moran nimbly summoned the Book of Cards, from which the {Mobile Kitchen Card} flew out and was immediately placed into the {Space Card}.

After going down to the common area on the first floor, Moran took out a few kitchen utensils that she would need at the moment, and had her shadow pretend to urge the shadow of the kitchen utensils to prepare breakfast with the main body.

The cleaver's shadow hugged the handle and danced a tap dance on the cutting board, chopping mushrooms and smoked meat into even pieces.

The shadow of the frying pan supports the handles, allowing the metal pan to float steadily above the fireplace flames.

The moment Moran's shadow cracked the golden egg mixture into the pan, the sizzling oil and the aroma of caramelized fat immediately filled the entire living room.

The spatula's shadow diligently flipped the edges of the fried egg while Moran's shadow insects carried firewood.

The kitchenware shadows all look very hardworking, but in reality, it's mostly a performance; the kitchenware itself is the one doing the work.

However, in the dream world, apart from Moran, no one else could see or imagine that ordinary kitchen utensils could possess spirituality.

After watching for a while and confirming that she didn't need help, Moran sat down and continued reading.

Martina woke up from her sleep once again, swallowing hard, as the aroma of oil wafted into the second-floor corridor.

“This child…” Martina sighed. Although she was amazed by her apprentice’s skills, she did not want him to waste time cooking for her every day.

Young people should spend their time studying more advanced shadow magic, rather than getting bogged down in pots and pans.

The shadows of the kitchen utensils in your home can also cook, it's just that the taste is not quite the same.

Just as she was about to prop herself up on the edge of the bed, the shadow bug at the head of the bed chirped for a while.

Martina was startled: "What? Moran's shadow pet is cooking?"

She quickly changed her clothes, put on her cloak, and went downstairs. She saw a spatula scooping fried eggs and chops from a frying pan onto a plate, while a soup spoon was ladling meat broth into a bowl.

These kitchen utensils are exquisitely crafted, but they are clearly not old items from her kitchen.

Martina squinted and noticed that each kitchen utensil had a shadow attached to its base, and those shadows were diligently "controlling" the original utensil to work.

She suddenly remembered something, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly: "That's right, she can tame a whole bottle of underground worms in a few minutes, so taming some kitchen utensil shadows is naturally a piece of cake!"

"Another night without rest?" Martina deliberately made her footsteps louder, causing Moran to look up from his book.

“I went back to our adventurer world for a while, rested there, and even tamed quite a few Shadow Bugs!” Moran gestured to Professor Martina to look at the Shadow Bugs carrying firewood.

Martina then noticed that several shadow insects of various shapes were working together to carry firewood.

There was the shadow of an armored cricket that could leap a great distance in one step, the shadow of a spider carrying firewood, and the shadow of a moonlit firefly working in the shadows...

These cannot be explained by simple shadow deformation! At a glance, traces of almost all the insect shadows that are suitable for making shadow insects can be found.

"Are you trying to collect all the Shadow Bug pets?" Martina couldn't hide her surprise. "You should have read in the book that it's best to focus on taming the shadows of the same kind of creature!" When taming creature shadows, everyone tends to choose the same type.

Her shadow worms, for example, were all domesticated from the shadows of underground worms, with only a few others.

Because of the presence of similar creatures, the more they are domesticated, the easier it is to expand their scale more quickly.

Taming shadow pets requires a lot of effort and cannot be done continuously. Generally speaking, the number that can be tamed is limited.

In this case, taming the shadow of the same species would be more profitable.

Even if she had confidence in Moran's abilities, she was now worried that Moran might have gone astray.

“After I finished taming these shadow bugs, I didn’t feel any discomfort. I guess my threshold is relatively high. Taming a certain number shouldn’t be a problem, so I wanted to try taming more different shadows. And you see, different kinds of shadow pets working together can also achieve unexpected results.” Moran pointed to the shadow bugs that were working: “I don’t want to miss out on the advantages brought by quantity and variety.”

Of course, the more important reason is that she needs to master more ways to tame shadow pets so that she can create more {Shadow Summoning Cards}.

She never collected magic for its power, but for its diversity.

Martina observed Moran's complexion and mental state, and finding nothing amiss, she was relieved: "You can try it, but if you feel any discomfort, you must stop immediately."

She ultimately decided to let Moran give it a try. After all, with her abilities, even if this path didn't work out, she could quickly return to the traditional path of taming after banishing the tamed shadow pets.

"Okay!" Moran nodded. "Teacher, come and try the cooking of my shadow pets!"

The two sat down at the dining table.

Martina cut off a small piece of golden fried egg and put it in her mouth. The rich aroma of the egg and the crispy edges burst on her tongue, making her involuntarily squint her eyes. She then scooped up a spoonful of mushroom and meat soup. The rich broth, carrying tender shredded meat and mushroom pieces, slid down her throat. After only two sips, she exclaimed in sincere praise:
"Compared to what your kitchen utensil shadows make, what my kitchen utensil shadows make is simply inedible! It seems that a large part of the shadows' abilities are inherited from their masters!"

Moran blushed slightly at the praise, and her shadow unconsciously straightened its back and proudly raised its head: "I'll cover all the meals from now on! It'll be a good opportunity to train my shadow pets more!"

This time, Martina didn't frown and try to dissuade her as usual.

She elegantly wiped her mouth, thinking, "Who wouldn't want to enjoy such exquisite and delicious meals every day?"

Besides, Moran's shadow pets are currently in charge of the kitchen, which won't interfere with her magic studies and will satisfy her appetite. It's a win-win situation, and as her teacher, she's naturally happy to see it happen.

After breakfast, Martina took on the role of teacher: "Let me see those little guys you've trained!"

Moran arranged the shadow bugs neatly on the coffee table for Martina to check.

She nodded occasionally, and sometimes gave a soft "hmm," finally finding with satisfaction that these shadow pets were quite agile, in stable condition, and had a close connection with Moran, which put her at ease.

"The training has been quite effective. It seems your willpower is truly extraordinary. Continue your studies according to your own plan!"

With Martina's approval, Moran happily picked up the book again and continued reading.
