In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

Chapter 164 A Unique Flavor

Leaving aside the argument in the kitchen, Lu Mingfei pulled out a fruit halfway there and took a bite.

This fruit isn't anything special. It's not particularly sweet, nor is it particularly juicy. In the kitchen, it's usually added when stewing meat to enhance the flavor with its natural and subtle sweetness. But it can also be eaten plain. So Lu Mingfei secretly took one out.

The goal is to bring the total number of foods eaten back to a multiple of ten, thereby increasing the maximum lifespan.

What a unique flavor! Your maximum health has been increased.

A subtle warmth coursed through his limbs and bones. Lu Mingfei closed his eyes slightly and began to savor it.

Back when I was on Earth, during a chat with some friends, someone asked a question: "If every woman could become number one in every sport, what kind of achievements could that person have in sports?"

The question immediately sparked a heated debate, which was eventually brought to a close by Old Tang's summary: the answer is undoubtedly the GOAT in the history of world sports.

Achieving first place in all events for women means having the world's best flexibility in women's gymnastics, the world's best snatch and muscle strength in women's weightlifting, and the world's best coordination in women's table tennis. And if all these events are combined, even just in running, it would be enough to break several world records in a row.

Even if each project is improved by just a little bit, it can lead to a huge improvement when put together as a whole.

But now the process is reversed, strengthening some aspects as a whole, breaking them down to each part and system of the body, then there's nothing exaggerated about it.

However, this doesn't mean the "+1 to maximum health" ability is weak. You should know that the professional baptism that makes Lu Mingfei feel "reborn" every time only translates to a 5-point increase in maximum health.

Ignoring the characteristics of a profession, eating 10 different foods each time is actually equivalent to leveling up by one-fifth!

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Wherever the heat flowed, he could feel his muscles slightly expanding and his blood vessels subtly changing, his blood supply becoming more efficient—this was to enhance his body's recovery and resilience, but it also brought a dual boost to his strength and physique.

Strength: 11 (0%)

[Physical Fitness: 11 (10%→20%)]

"Yes, actually this is a good thing—after level five, leveling up will no longer be a fixed 5 points of maximum health, but will instead provide energy for me to absorb. Then I can use the bonuses from leveling up to improve other useful attributes, such as strength, constitution, and maximum health, which can be improved through my secondary profession—"

Having secretly made long-term plans, Lu Mingfei closed his eyes for a moment, focusing his attention on immediate matters:

How exactly should this earth card be crafted?

The maids were originally connected, and there was even a leader among them, which was undoubtedly a good thing, as she could resolve their internal disputes. But the problem now is that they all have leaders, so how can Lu Ming insist on intervening?

Is it because of her status as the "maid's master"?

That's actually unlikely. Identity is just identity; it's the people who identify with that identity who give it meaning.

"So, in the end, there's still no solution?" Lu Mingfei rubbed his palms, silently making a decision:

Just leave it alone!

"Why does this feel so familiar?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but mutter—but it really is the best solution right now.

Leave everything to time, let them gradually get to know each other and build a connection, and then proceed with the forging.

As for how long it will take? Lu Mingfei didn't know, but it probably wouldn't be fast.

The next day, upon returning to Earth, Lu Mingfei added the [Wine Fox Maid] to the deck interface of the online game, allowing them to remain visible for an extended period.

But looking at their appearance, Lu Mingfei was in a dilemma.

They said they needed to spend a lot of time together to develop feelings, but the problem was that Lu Mingfei couldn't spare all his time in modern society. He had to go to school, read books, and recently he was planning to add kendo practice to his schedule, so time was already tight.

They couldn't even go to school with Luo Tianyi like he did—because their physiques were significantly different from ordinary people. The black-haired and white-haired maids both had cat ears, making it impossible for them to go outside. The one who looked most like a fox was even more problematic; her ears were larger than the previous pair combined.

And the remaining pair?

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but cover his eyes.

This pair is even less likely. Their bodies aren't even ordinary human figures, but rather round, anime-like figures drawn with simple lines, and they're not even in the same dimension as the others.

As if sensing Lu Mingfei's predicament, the penguin-shaped maid made a "holding her breath and straining" expression, and her body suddenly exploded into a cloud of smoke—

When the smoke cleared, a graceful young woman appeared, her penguin pajamas transformed into a hooded cape and loose black trousers. She lifted the hood, revealing bright eyes, and gestured with her chin towards Lu Mingfei, her meaning crystal clear:

Wouldn't that solve the problem?

"This won't do either—" Lu Mingfei went from covering his eyes to covering his head. "Look at him, he doesn't look like a middle school student at all."

"Isn't he an adult already?"

The maid immediately deflated, transforming into the shape of a penguin in pajamas amidst a puff of smoke, emitting a low, guttural sound: "Coo-coo-caw-caw—"

The pink-haired maid on the side seemed to want to transform into an adult body as well, but after seeing Lu Mingfei's denial, she didn't bother anymore.

She moved closer to the penguin maid, pulled out an orange from somewhere, and handed it to her.

I also got one for Lu Mingfei.

"Fine, let it be slow then." Sipping the segment of the tangerine-like fruit, Lu Mingfei was no longer in a hurry. After all, he still had six years. Summoners working in a proper mage tower could spend months or even a whole year crafting a single card, so there was no need to rush.

Although Lu Mingfei was unaware that he could improve himself while also cultivating good relationships with these maids, since the two things didn't conflict.

When asked about improving himself, Lu Mingfei immediately thought of his new side job.

"Um—so, could you teach me how to cook?"

"As a hobby? Of course." The fox-eared maid twitched twice and revealed a gentle smile. "Then, which part would you like to start learning?"

'

"Oh, this—" Lu Mingfei sighed, "Okay, I don't know either. Let's start with the simple things."
