In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

After a moment's thought, Lu Mingfei decided to explain his reasons. Asmon was utterly dumbfounded upon hearing them:

"Huh? I saw that the first one you summoned was a Mechanicus acolyte. I thought you would like related units."

As he spoke, Asmon placed the Cherubim card in the middle of the three of them:

"But no matter what, it's just a card—do you want it? You can exchange it for points or materials dropped in events."

"Let's make this clear first. Although this is a level 2 card, I'll charge you the price of a level 4 card. You should know how valuable its ultimate move is."

Lu Mingfei nodded, starting to calculate in his mind. Selling this card at level four isn't actually that expensive—anyone who plays RTS knows how powerful this kind of 'penetrating' skill is.

If Lao Tang had one of these while playing StarCraft, Lu Mingfei would likely get completely crushed.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Mingfei's skill level is one or even several levels higher than Lao Tang's.

If Lao Tang is a chicken, then Lu Mingfei is the farmer. Under normal circumstances, even if the chicken tries its best, it cannot defeat him. Only when the farmer himself has a problem can the chicken possibly win.

—Of course, giving it to me won't work. This person is as bad as a pro. Even if you gave her the full map and let her micro-manage, she still couldn't handle it.

Lu Mingfei offered the Gloomy Wood and Dark Harvest in exchange, and Asmon nodded, handing over the Cherubim. But a question remained:

"What kind of outfit are you planning to wear to the ball tomorrow?"

"...A ball? Dressing up?" Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Rong En.

The latter, having also withdrawn [Chosen One of Slaughter], was sitting to the side recovering his strength. Seeing this, he couldn't help but retort, "The dance may be a school-wide event, but it's organized by a club, isn't it? Didn't you join the Dragon Claw Club?"

Is that how it is?

"Well, I haven't made any plans yet..."

The enormous silver moon descended from the sky, and the three present activated their teleportation abilities, being transported back to where they had pressed the entry button by the beam of light signaling the end of the event. Lu Mingfei didn't have time to check the list of redeemable items; instead, he immediately turned and reached for Rong En:

"Couldn't you have told me beforehand? What if I show up in my school uniform tomorrow?"

As Lu Mingfei spoke, he shook Rong En. Even though Rong En was shaken so badly he was dizzy, he still managed to maintain his balance. While retorting verbally, he opened the exchange table on the Sorting Card:

"Then just grab a change card and change your clothes right away? Do I have to teach you that?"

"The Claw of the Dragon isn't some purely aristocratic society. Even if its president is from the House of Nobles this year, it doesn't encourage the bad habit of 'not wearing the clothes you wear to one party to the next party'..."

"Hey! Someone's buying books in bulk! Lu, hurry and check, or the one you want might get snatched up!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei jumped up as if he had been electrocuted and pulled out his college admission card.

You have purchased "The Book of Dragons - Food Chapter - Annotated Edition" for 50 points, leaving you with 1850 points.

The Book of Dragons, as the name suggests, is a book that studies dragons. When Lu Mingfei first wanted to look through these books, he planned to find a way to develop his [Bloodline Template - Dragon].

—It was created using orange-tier items! It definitely has more than just the ability to increase the favorability of dragons!

Although Lu Mingfei still remembers that rather mind-bending Photoshop edit to this day...

However, among the numerous annotated editions of the Book of Dragons, when Lu Mingfei was browsing through their preview sections, the network displayed the following interface:

[Gathering information...]

[Information on the auxiliary job obtained: Dragon Chef]

Gather more information to unlock this secondary profession.

This secondary profession was discovered while flipping through the annotated version of the Food and Drink Book. It must contain more information that would allow him to officially start this secondary profession.

As for the bloodline template, there's no need to rush that—since the webpage didn't get any hints from these books, it means they're not that important.

It's not important enough to warrant a special mention from the website like this "side job."

After saying goodbye to Rong En, Lu Mingfei took the book back to his bedroom and began to examine it word by word, even using his mental flashes to speed up reading and analyze it in depth.

—Okay, it doesn't matter how he sees it; what matters is that the comprehensive network gathers enough information in the process.

[Support Class: Dragon Chef]

【Occupational Characteristics:】

Amazing Deliciousness: Choose one of three options—"Extremely Amazing," "Extremely Delicious," or "Amazing Deliciousness"—to gain additional bonuses to deliciousness and cooking effects. You can switch cooking directions when preparing each dish to obtain different levels of bonuses.

Wildness Unleashed: Depending on the ingredients you use, the final cooked dish will have additional effects based on the ingredient level and cooking ability.

Savor the World: Each time you consume a new food, your maximum health increases and your base attributes receive a slight boost; each time you learn a new cooking method for a new ingredient, you gain an additional combat bonus against the source of that ingredient.

[PS: When cooking for dragons, the most important thing isn't how delicious the dishes are or how much experience you gain, but rather avoiding being eaten by the dragon if necessary—Dragon Chef's Handbook]

PS: Of course, if you have the ability to say "A Dragon Chef is a chef who cooks dragons," then no one will argue with that—Dragon Chef, Career Handbook.

Judging from the meaning of this PS and characteristics, it actually means that the Dragon Chef can work for dragons in the early stages, using the name of cooking to "taste the world". Then, when the attributes grow to a certain level, they can turn the tables and become the master, cooking the dragons themselves.

Lu Mingfei rubbed his head, subtly trying to grasp the meaning behind it.

Although it sounded a bit unethical, Lu Mingfei still decided to learn this side profession. In a sense, the characteristics of this side profession were quite a good fit for him—

Even if others could experience the Dragon Chef's "Taste of the World" ability, they could only taste one world at most. Lu Mingfei, however, could travel back and forth between Earth and Saint Marian, allowing him to taste two worlds...

"—Alright, let's put aside the matter of 'experiencing the world' for now, and talk about other things... For tomorrow's masquerade ball, am I really going to just grab any costume card and head out? Oh, I only have one costume card left. After all, I can't just stay silent at the ball, and I can't wear 'The Solemnity of the Crescent Moon' yet..."

"If I were to dress up, what kind of outfit should I wear?"
