My career has infinite upgrades.

Another strange object!

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow. No wonder Zhao Tian said that there must be something in this storage ring that would satisfy him.

This parchment scroll is indeed a good thing.

Being able to summon an abyss witch to serve you is like having an extra ally.

It's important to know that Abyss Witches are all of high rank, with the lowest being rank B.

Just then, Cecilia walked over quickly from not far away.

She glanced at the parchment scroll in Gu Qing's hand, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"Abyss Summoning Scroll?"

Gu Qing paused for a moment, then looked at Cecilia and asked, "You recognize this?"

Cecilia nodded: "Find the right spot, tear open this scroll, and you can summon creatures from the abyss."

As she spoke, Cecilia seemed to remember something and looked at Gu Qing, saying, "Master, I can help you extract every last drop of value from it."

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Oh? What do you mean by that?"

Cecilia said, "The abyssal creatures summoned by this summoning scroll are random. I can anchor to a specific location and summon my former personal maid."

"A personal maid?" Gu Qing's heart skipped a beat.

Cecilia laughed and said, "That's right, don't underestimate her just because she's my maid. She's an S-rank abyssal creature."

"In terms of potential, she's only one level below me."

"Her name is Evelyn. Not only is she skilled in stealth and assassination, but most importantly..."

Cecilia deliberately leaned close to Gu Qing's ear, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe.

"Most importantly, she is stunningly beautiful and has a figure even more alluring than mine. She is an absolute stunner and can serve my master alongside me."

"Master will definitely love her... no, we too."

"Ahem..." Gu Qing's face flushed slightly: "What do you mean by 'a beauty' or not? But with S-rank combat power, it's definitely worth taking a risk."

Cecilia clung to Gu Qing, saying, "Master, I've squeezed every last drop of value out of this parchment for you, how are you going to reward me?"

Gu Qing was instantly at a loss: "What kind of reward do you want?"

Cecilia chuckled and pushed Gu Qing down, saying, "Master, just let me drain you dry."

......

The next morning, as the sun rose high, Gu Qingcai went out, rubbing his back.

upgrade!

We must upgrade quickly!

Otherwise, if Cecilia can't handle it, what if Evelyn comes along?

Gu Qing took out the parchment scroll again and examined it carefully.

I didn't have time to check the exact location where the parchment was opened last night.

Gu Qing probed with his mental energy, and a complex thumbnail appeared in his mind, with a red dot flashing on it.

West of the city! The underground black market of Lin'an City!

Gu Qing raised an eyebrow. He had originally thought that the coordinates of this parchment scroll were at least in the wilderness, but he did not expect it to be in Lin'an City.

Perfect timing! The underground black market was exactly where he needed to go.

Zhao Tian's spare weapon, along with some other resources that he doesn't need, can be sold on the black market.

After all, these things have an illegitimate origin and cannot be traded openly.

The most distinctive feature of black market transactions is their difficulty in being traced.

Then I can buy a set of defensive equipment and weapons, which will greatly improve my combat power.

Just then, my stomach suddenly growled.

Having not had time to eat since yesterday's trial in the secret realm, and after a night of fierce fighting, Gu Qing felt like his stomach was about to burst.

Gu Qing came to the kitchen and looked at the ingredients she had bought earlier, and an idea popped into her head.

I just unlocked the F-rank life skill of chef, so this is a good opportunity to gain more experience for advancing in the chef profession.

Gu Qing grabbed the cleaver and started cutting the meat.

After acquiring the new professional chef, Gu Qing seemed to have gained a lot more experience in cooking.

Cut the pork belly into thin, even slices, dice the bell peppers, slice two pieces of ginger, clove four cloves of garlic, and chop two red chilies. The preparation for stir-fried pork with chilies is now complete.

Then Gu Qing took out two tomatoes, scalded them with water, peeled them, cut one into large pieces and the other into small pieces, and then cracked four eggs. The tomato and egg stir-fry was ready.

After rinsing the pan and turning on the heat, add oil to coat the pan, then stir-fry the pork until it is cooked through, and then remove it and set it aside.

No need to add oil. Pour in the bell peppers and sauté over low heat until the moisture evaporates. Then add oil, turn up the heat, and add the chopped garlic, ginger, and red chili peppers. Sauté until fragrant.

Next, add the pork and stir-fry evenly. Turn the heat to low, add appropriate amounts of light soy sauce, MSG, and oyster sauce, stir-fry evenly, and then plate it.

Heat a wok over high heat, pour in plenty of oil, then scramble the eggs and pour them into the wok to scramble.

Once it's slightly cooked, pour it out. Then add diced tomatoes and stir-fry until they release their mushy texture. Pour in the eggs and large pieces of tomatoes, and stir-fry together.

Next, pour in tomato sauce, add light soy sauce and sugar, stir-fry evenly and remove from heat.

Looking at the two finished products, Gu Qing nodded slightly.

It looks much better than the ones I made before.

[Ding! Successfully cooked a dish. Chef's Simplification Experience +1]

[Ding! Successfully cooked a dish. Chef's Simplification Experience +1]

Current progress: 2/100

"It smells so good!"

Cecilia appeared out of nowhere, her soft, warm body pressed against Gu Qing's back.

"Master, you still cook?"

Cecilia kissed Gu Qing, her face full of surprise.

Then she picked up the two plates and rushed out.

Gu Qing watched as Cecilia's black and white saintly robes slipped down to reveal a large expanse of breathtaking white skin, and shook his head slightly.

When the food was brought out, Cecilia was already eating.

Gu Qing and Cecilia finished both dishes completely. Cecilia rubbed her stomach, looking satisfied.

"Master, your cooking is so delicious! I want to eat it again!"

Gu Qing nodded. After becoming a chef, the food she made did indeed taste much better.

Anyway, feeding Cecilia will also increase the experience required for the Phantom Contractor's advancement, so it's a win-win situation.

Just then, a notification sound rang in Gu Qing's ear.

[Ding! Detected that the host has completed an extremely deep fusion and ultimate exploration with a high-level abyssal creature.]

[Phantom Contract Simplifies Upgrade Experience by +100!]

[Phantom Contract Simplifies Upgrade Experience by +180!]

Experience: 1020/1000

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, not expecting such an unexpected surprise.

The Phantom Contract has instantly maxed out the simplified upgrade experience!

The next moment, another notification sound rang in Gu Qing's ears.

[Ding! The Phantom Contract Envoy's simplified upgrade experience is full, meeting the upgrade requirements. Upgrade now?]

After advancing to become a Bone Warlock, Gu Qing's combat strength visibly increased significantly.

The transition from an E-rank profession to a D-rank profession can be considered a threshold.

The last time I advanced from an F-rank simp to an E-rank Phantom Contractor, I went directly from a life profession to a combat profession.

What kind of improvement will there be when upgrading from E-rank to D-rank?

Gu Qing was still very much looking forward to it!

Taking a deep breath, Gu Qingqiang suppressed his excitement and silently chanted in his heart.

"Advance immediately!"
