Conquer the game world

Chapter 15 Professional Chef
After Wuqiu left, everyone eagerly examined the various books in the library. They were all immersed in the vast collection of cultivation manuals, with someone occasionally taking one out to glance at it, but after reading it, they all put it back in its place.

Faced with a vast array of cultivation manuals, the crowd struggled to make a choice, and most hesitated for a moment.

This was actually a test that Wuqiu deliberately gave to his disciples. He intentionally left so that his junior brothers could choose their own cultivation methods. Being able to recognize themselves and choose the appropriate cultivation method is a mindset that they must have in their future cultivation.

Of course, the only one who didn't hesitate when faced with this difficult choice was Ye Feng. He casually flipped through a few books on spiritual energy cultivation, and after receiving a notification that the system couldn't cultivate such techniques or gain experience through them, Ye Feng decisively abandoned the choice of cultivation technique books. Instead, he started looking through the books on ordinary skills like levitation that his senior brother Wu Qiu had pointed out before leaving.

Although the Levitation Technique is slow and not very practical in combat, it is still useful in daily life. After all, when he uses the game skill to fly, a pair of white wings will appear on his back. If others see this, it would be too frightening, and they might mistake him for a monster and kill him.

Compared to the four people who were struggling with the vast amount of books on choosing cultivation methods, Ye Feng was quite an outlier.

After flipping through the Leap Technique for a while, Ye Feng put down the book. It wasn't that Ye Feng had already comprehended it, but rather that after reading it once, all the contents were recorded in the game system in his mind. Ye Feng could easily review it later. So, Ye Feng picked up another book.

In this short period of time, Ye Feng read many books, mostly about common skills such as the use of fireballs. He also read some other miscellaneous books about alchemy and weapon crafting. Of course, Ye Feng didn't understand any of the content at the moment; he just wrote them all down.

Ye Feng put down the book on weapon crafting he was holding and placed it back where he had taken it. He then stopped what he was doing and returned to the area with the cultivation manuals.

It wasn't that Ye Feng didn't want to continue watching, but he suddenly remembered his appointment with Shui Ying tonight. Would that girl really come to eat the meal he cooked? At least from the current situation, it seemed certain that she would come, which gave Ye Feng a headache.

Thinking about this troublesome matter, Ye Feng completely lost the mood to continue reading. When he returned to the cultivation manuals, he saw that his fellow disciples were still choosing. The vast number of books had become an obstacle for them. Everyone had the same thought in their minds: maybe the next one is better? It seemed that the four of them would find it difficult to make a decision in the short term.

Ye Feng casually picked up a book on the bookshelf called "Spiritual Power Technique". According to what Senior Brother Wuqiu had introduced before, this technique should be easy to cultivate, but not very powerful, which is also in line with Ye Feng's low-key personality.

To avoid attracting attention, Ye Feng chose this ordinary cultivation manual. He had no choice; if he went out without a cultivation manual on his first trip, he might attract even more attention, even though Ye Feng had absolutely no interest in the manual in his hand.

Ye Feng didn't even bother to look through the cultivation manual. He simply took out his token and swept it across the book. He saw a faint glow flash across the page, and knew that the information in the book had been recorded by the token. Holding the book, Ye Feng walked out of the Scripture Pavilion.

Fortunately, the other four were engrossed in their cultivation manuals and didn't notice Ye Feng's actions. Otherwise, their casual behavior would have led them to believe that Ye Feng had forgotten to take his brain-dead pills again, and that he was simply an idiot who could be so careless with his own cultivation manual.

However, no one noticed any of this, and no one even noticed Ye Feng's departure. Just like that, Ye Feng left the Sutra Repository.

Upon exiting the Sutra Repository, Ye Feng found that his senior brother Wu Qiu had already left. Naturally, Ye Feng did not intend to display his terrifying flying ability, and since he had not yet mastered the art of levitation, he had no choice but to walk towards the mountain range of his sect.

Fortunately, the mountains are not too far away; it wouldn't take long to get there on foot.

After Ye Feng's figure gradually disappeared, Wu Qiu's figure appeared at the entrance of the Sutra Repository.

"I didn't expect the unassuming Ye Feng to choose his cultivation method so quickly. He seems to be a very self-aware person. Although his aptitude is not good at the moment, his future achievements are uncertain." Seeing Ye Feng choose his cultivation method without hesitation, Wu Qiu couldn't help but praise him.

If Wuqiu knew that Ye Feng had just randomly picked up a book, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood on the spot.

As expected, the Sutra Repository was not far from where Ye Feng lived, and soon Ye Feng returned to his residence.

Ye Feng didn't rush back to his residence. Instead, he went straight to the kitchen. There was a kitchen right where the disciples lived. Of course, this kitchen was for the disciples to use when they wanted to cook for themselves. There was no one specifically in charge of cooking there. If they wanted to eat where someone was in charge, they would have to go to the dining area of ​​another sect not far away. Of course, there would be a fee for eating there.

Although it was getting late, Ye Feng wasn't in a hurry. After searching around the kitchen, he found that it was indeed worthy of being an inner disciple's kitchen, with a full range of ingredients and seasonings.

"Ding, you have made the Phoenix Tail Shark Fin."

"Ding, you've made Eight Treasure Wild Duck." "Ding..."

Looking at the four dishes he had made in one go, Ye Feng was very satisfied. The cooking process went very smoothly this time. He had only used the cooking recipes and the skills he had learned, and these dishes appeared in front of him with ease.

"Wow, you made all of this? It looks pretty good!" Shui Ying's happy voice suddenly came from behind, startling Ye Feng. Luckily, he acted quickly, otherwise it would have been troublesome if it were discovered that the dishes had appeared out of thin air.

Seeing that the dishes looked good, Shuiying seemed to be in a good mood. Ignoring Ye Feng, who had just broken out in a cold sweat, she picked up her chopsticks and prepared to eat.

"Hey..." Although the dish was made, Ye Feng wasn't very confident in a dish generated by the system. He hadn't had a chance to eat it yet and didn't know how it tasted.

"What do you mean 'feed me'? What, aren't you going to give me any? It's made to be eaten, you know?" Shui Ying was about to eat her food when she was suddenly interrupted, so she was naturally in a bad mood.

Ye Feng originally wanted to say that he hadn't tried the taste himself and didn't know if it was good. He asked if it was okay if it wasn't good, and if he could accept the small portion of food given to him. He also asked if he could overlook the small portion because the food looked so good.

However, before Ye Feng could say these words, Shui Ying's words silenced him.

Surprisingly, the dishes were not as bad as Ye Feng had imagined; in fact, they were quite delicious. Our Miss Shui Ying happily devoured them all. Of course, Ye Feng also deserves credit for this. He couldn't resist taking a bite out of curiosity and immediately realized that all the food he had eaten in the previous twenty years was utter garbage. So, he and Shui Ying practically fought over the dishes and finished them off, unable to stop eating.

"Uh, Senior Sister Shuiying, is the taste alright? Does that mean I won't be punished anymore?" Ye Feng asked cautiously, but judging from the girl's still satisfied expression, it seemed she was quite pleased with his dishes.

"Hmm, not bad. No need for punishment. I'll even reward you. Here's a pill that can improve your cultivation." Ye Feng had heard that this girl loved to cause trouble, which made him have to be very careful, but he didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to.

Without hesitation, Ye Feng accepted the pill. Upon checking its attributes, he saw that it could increase experience points. His smile widened even more, though he said, "This isn't right, Senior Sister. You can't use something so valuable." However, Ye Feng's radiant, greedy expression betrayed him.

"Since I've accepted the reward, I don't owe you anything anymore. From now on, you'll be my personal chef, and you'll be in charge of my lunch and dinner every day. Breakfast is out of the question; I'm on a diet," Shuiying said mischievously, blinking her eyes.

"Well, senior sister, I'm very busy, I might not have time." Are you kidding me? Who do you think I am, Ye Feng? I'm a top player, okay? I'm a top-tier account in the old server, okay? You want me to be your chef? What do you take me for? You're insulting my dignity.

"Oh, you're very busy? I know that new disciples can focus on their cultivation without having to do anything. If you want to be busy, I'll have Daddy arrange something for you. I guarantee you'll be so busy you won't be able to stop."

A threat! This is a blatant threat! How dare you insult my dignity, Ye Feng, like this?

"Hehe, Senior Sister, I was just joking with you. It's my honor to cook with you, Senior Sister. How could I be busy?" If anyone else were present, they would definitely want to slap Ye Feng's smug face a few times. Aren't you a god? Don't you have any dignity?

"However, Senior Sister, I have two more conditions you must agree to." Although Ye Feng was very unhappy, he still had to force a smile. He had no choice; he was living under someone else's roof. Fortunately, cooking didn't actually take too much time.

"Go ahead and tell me. If you do well, I'll still give you a reward," Shuiying said.

"Damn it, who cares about your reward?" Ye Feng thought dejectedly, but still smiled and said, "As for the first one, my culinary skills are a family secret, so please forgive me for not letting outsiders see my cooking methods and recipes. So, from now on, Senior Sister, you don't need to trouble yourself. Just have me cook the dishes and bring them to you." He was joking, of course. What if someone accidentally discovered that the dishes were conjured up? He had to prevent such a thing from happening.

"Secondly, as you know, I am a slow learner and need time to cultivate. As the saying goes, diligence can make up for clumsiness. In order not to embarrass Master, I hope that Senior Sister will not bother me anymore except for cooking." Ye Feng put on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture, and even brought up the words of not embarrassing Master. In fact, he just wanted to say, "You better not bother me anymore."

"Okay, deal. Besides food, do you think I'd want to see a country bumpkin like you?" Shui Ying readily agreed, completely unaware of Ye Feng's ulterior motives.

And so, after arriving at the Stardust Sect, Ye Feng took on an additional job besides cultivation: a professional cook...
