[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

Food Enchantment: The core authority of the Chef Demon God, allowing you to add in-game affixes to food/potions by consuming Food Spirit Power.

Food Enchantment (Level 1) can enchant the following foods: Restoration foods (blue quality and below) / Can be enchanted once a year.

Food Enchantment (Level 1) can be used to craft all potion enchantments / Can be used once every five years

(Food Spirit Power can be obtained by cooking food. The higher the quality and rating of the food, the more Food Spirit Power you will obtain.)

Upon seeing the system's notification, Chao Ke felt a surge of joy. Although he had suspected something when he saw the system's name, now that suspicion had become a reality.

If we're talking about the most overpowered abilities in Genshin Impact, it's not the fancy elemental skills and elemental bursts, but rather cooking and elemental anchors.

Needless to say, even the most ordinary Teyvat omelet, after being enchanted with food and having the attribute "[Revive the selected character, restoring 100 health points]", is enough to make all the factions in Teyvat excited.

Although my current level of the Chef's Demon Authority is not high, and I can only enchant recovery foods of blue quality or lower, and the cooldown is extremely long, the level one in parentheses indicates that it is an attribute that can be improved.

Chao Ke exhaled a breath of stale air. In any case, the benefits gained from advancing his chef level far exceeded his expectations.

Gently unwrapping the bandages wrapped around his body, Chao Ke was moved to tears by his fully recovered and energetic body.

Only when people are suffering from pain do they realize how precious a healthy body is.

Since the authority of the apprentice level is so powerful, what will the next chef level be like? With curiosity, Chao Ke looked at the system interface after the advancement.

[Demon God Level]

[Chef Level: Apprentice]

[Advanced Quest:]

[1. Accumulated 5000 Food Spirit Power (0/5000)]

【2. Collect a total of ten recipes (1/10)】

Looking at the requirements of the advanced task, Chao Ke pondered. The power of food spirits was easy to obtain; according to the system's introduction, it could be obtained simply by making dishes.

However, developing a recipe would probably take some effort. Either we could start with Louis, the owner of the Grand Hotel de Bois and the snack bar, or we could consider developing one ourselves. For dishes like Teyvat omelets, developing a recipe shouldn't be too difficult.

While it was still early and the restaurant hadn't been built yet, Chao Ke put on a trench coat and decided to try his luck at the Debo Hotel.

Chapter 8 The Grand Hotel Debord and the Carles Father and Daughter

To be honest, Chao Ke's place is actually quite far from the De Bo Hotel.

After all, Chao Ke is located in the Leonai district in the north of the city, while the De Bo Grand Hotel is in the southwest corner of Fontaine, which basically requires walking around half of the entire Fontaine.

Fortunately, the injury has healed; otherwise, walking such a long distance would have been a real challenge for his previous body.

As Chao Ke strolled down the street, he saw many people in pairs or groups discussing matters.

Chao Ke was already used to this phenomenon, after all, the Duel Agent Office and the Adventurers' Guild of Fontaine were located in this area, and many knowledgeable employers in Fontaine liked to come here to find people to take on jobs.

When my older sister chose this house, besides safety, there was another consideration: there was a lot of intelligence here.

All sorts of people talk about their demands here, and even without listening attentively, just walking from one end of the street to the other, you can learn a lot of valuable news.

It is said that Miss Ou Fu from Steambird News wanted to stay here permanently to keep digging for explosive news, but was eventually thrown out along with her camera by an exasperated female adventurer.

From then on, an unwritten rule was established on this street: all reporters were prohibited from interviewing or publishing business-related content; violators would have their cameras smashed and thrown away.

After passing the last shop on the street and descending the winding stairs, you arrive at the Vasari Gallery's mechanical fountain, where countless parents and children admire the giant rotating spherical machinery around the fountain.

Looking back through the mechanical fountain, you can see a massive, towering building – that is the Fontaine-Ting District Waterway Hub.

Even after living in Fontainebleau for several years, Chao Ke is still awestruck by the magnificent view every time he looks up.

Regarding the waterway, it is not only the transportation heart and passenger hub of Fontainebleau, but also a symbol of the peak of the Rose of the Year festival.

Many players in the previous life were puzzled when doing the Navia Legend quest, wondering why Cort was so greatly stimulated.

They simply didn't understand how much Rose had changed before and after Colter went to prison.

The current Rose Society, with its own funds and connections, is able to overcome numerous difficulties to build a waterway that runs through the entire territory of Fontainebleau.

The Carles Line, the Clementine Line, and the Navia Line, three main shipping routes named after the Carles family, connect the Fontaine Academy, Helu Bay, and Irie Island, respectively.

It's equivalent to building and naming a highway for an entire country on your own.

When Colter was released from prison, he became part of a notorious, financially troubled organization whose headquarters had been forced underground. Given such a dramatic change, it's not hard to understand why someone with a weaker mind would break down.

After all, many people live for just one goal, and having witnessed the peak of the rose's prosperity, they find it hard to accept its miserable state when it falls into the mud.

We've gone off on a tangent...

After passing the mechanical fountain in the Vasari Gallery and walking up the steps for a while, you will arrive at the Fontaine-Nabonne district, where the outline of the Grand de Bois Hotel is already faintly visible.

After climbing countless steps, even with Chao Ke's current physical condition, his breathing became slightly rapid.

It wasn't easy; he walked around Fontainebleau almost halfway around without stopping.

The greeter at the De Bo Hotel was very perceptive; upon seeing Chao Ke, he stepped forward to greet him and led him into the hotel.

Upon entering the hotel, a female receptionist took over the role of greeting guests and arranged for Chao Ke to sit in a window seat.

Chao Ke sized up the waitress dressed in a maid outfit; she wasn't the Leonie or Egaria sisters from the game. It made sense, really. It was probably still about ten years before the blond-haired guy arrived in Fontaine, and even the siblings Linnie and Linette hadn't joined the manor yet.

However, none of that matters. The target of Chao Ke's operation this time is Sangnetti, and he is enough at the De Bo Grand Hotel.

"Sir, what would you like to order? This is the menu, please take a look."

A maid's soft, sweet voice came from behind her, and she gently handed the menu to Chao Ke.

Chao Ke scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Excuse me, miss, could that gentleman please attend to me?"

The maid was taken aback for a moment, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face, but she quickly masked it and answered naturally.

"Of course, sir. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, the maid quickly retreated and gave some instructions to Sangnetti behind her.

Sangnetti stared at the maid, looking somewhat dazed.

"I?"

To be honest, being specifically requested by a customer is an absolutely dreamlike thing for Sangnetti himself.

The reason for this is probably that I have too high expectations of my guests and that I have a bad temper.

Many of his guests, though socialites or dignitaries, had truly terrible artistic taste and appreciation for fine wines. They would say things like, "What's the oldest and most expensive wine you have? Just give me a bottle." Every time Sangnetti heard that, he wanted to punch them.

There are also many self-proclaimed sophisticated people who can't even choose the right wine for their meal. Keeping a straight face, looking down on them, and barely managing to refrain from swearing at the customer is already their limit.

The reason he hasn't been fired by his boss, Vanagem, is because Sangnetti is truly skilled. The wine and food pairings he chooses are not only perfectly matched but also complement each other, achieving a flavor far superior to other combinations.

Sangnetti quickly walked to Chao Ke's side and politely asked, "Sir, thank you for your trust. What would you like to order?"

Chao Ke closed the menu and handed the choice to Sangeneti, "What seasonal items do you recommend right now?"

Sangnetti was taken aback. He had a good impression of customers who trusted him, so he replied politely.

“You can order a Fontaine foie gras and pair it with this wine.”

“The foie gras from Fontainebleau is at its best right now in season. A few weeks ago it was too fatty, and a few weeks later it was a bit too thin. The last few weeks are just right.”

"This wine is a semi-sweet red wine produced on the island of Irie, made from a blend of Cissgia and Onara grapes."

Chao Ke asked with some confusion, "Since it's going to be paired with foie gras, why not choose a sweet white wine?"

Chaoco's question did not displease Sangnetti, because Chaoco's question was valuable and reasonable.

After all, the traditional wine pairing for foie gras should be Sauternes or semi-dry champagne, so his recommendation of red wine is indeed somewhat unusual.

"Yes, sir. This red wine has very low tannins, is quite smooth, and is a late-harvest sweet red wine, so it's slightly sweet and easy to drink. Its aroma is also a good match for this Fontaine foie gras."

"Oh?" Chao Ke also became interested in this red wine. "Then I'll have to try it properly."

The food service at the Grand de Bois Hotel is relatively fast compared to typical French restaurants.

Chao Ke tasted it and found it quite interesting.

The rich, fatty aroma of foie gras lingers in the mouth, while the accompanying red wine not only cuts through the greasiness of the foie gras but also enhances it with its own unique and exquisite aroma, elevating the taste experience to another level.

After finishing their meal, Chao Ke nodded to Sangnetti, who was waiting beside him, and said, "Your recommendation was excellent. You are truly skilled in the field of food pairing."

Sangnetti smiled and nodded slightly. "Thank you for your compliment, sir. It is our duty as waiters to choose appropriate and delicious pairings for our guests."

After finishing his meal, Chao Ke did not forget the purpose of his visit. Taking advantage of the fact that Sangnetti was nearby, Chao Ke asked him.

“Mr. Sangnetti, this Fontaine foie gras is absolutely delicious. Could you give me a recipe? I’d like to try making it at home.”

Upon hearing Chao Ke's request, Sangnetti paused for a moment, for the request was indeed rather strange.

As a Fontaine delicacy enthusiast, he certainly knows how to make Fontaine foie gras, and writing it down as a recipe is nothing to him. But the key point is that you are eating food made by the kitchen of the Hotel de Bois. If you want it, you have to ask the kitchen. Why are you asking me?

"This... sir, your request is really a bit..."

Chao Ke sighed. He wasn't surprised by this situation. After all, a game is a game, and reality is reality.

In reality, if you suddenly ask someone for a recipe, why would they easily give it to you?

Since they couldn't get it directly, they had to resort to some methods. Chao Ke put his hand on Sangnetti's shoulder and patted it a few times.

Sangnetti felt a tremendous force on his right shoulder. Looking down, he saw a business card with an address printed on it tucked into his collar.

"I'll be waiting for you at this address this evening."

After saying this, Chao Ke left Sangnetti an extremely generous tip and strode out of the De Bo Grand Hotel.

However, just as he stepped out the door with his right foot, Chao Ke glanced at a corner on the second floor of the Debo Hotel.

"Kares and Navia..."

...

At the Debord Grand Hotel, Navia noticed her father's momentary daze and asked, "What's wrong, Dad? You seem so absent-minded all of a sudden."

Kares glanced at his daughter, a hint of doting in his eyes. "It's nothing, it's just that I feel like Fontaine is about to get quite lively."

Chapter 9 Shocking! A high-ranking official at the Bufati Mansion, in order to acquire a shop, actually...

After leaving the De Bo Hotel, it was already past 1 p.m.

The location of the Debord Grand Hotel is not far from the Boufati Mansion as the crow flies; in fact, following the game's instructions, you can simply walk straight out and jump down.

But this is reality, not a game. Not to mention that Chao Ke doesn't have the Wind Wings that can be summoned at will, his act of jumping down directly is a violation of Fontaine's laws.
