Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

“No wonder the young master has been making us eat dishes that enhance our appearance and temperament these days,” said Abi, who has now become a perfect 10/10 beauty. “So that’s why.”

Fortunately, Ling Chi had fed the women the recipes that would enhance their beauty and temperament three days ago. Now, almost every woman on the farm is a 10 out of 10 beauty. Not only have Xiaolongnu and Huang Rong broken through the dimensional barrier, but Xiao Zhao, Zhou Zhiruo, Cheng Ying, Wu Xingyun, and Li Canghai have also broken through the dimensional barrier and become extremely beautiful.

Nowadays, farms and ranches are filled with women who have used beauty filters, slimming effects, and big eyes in their photos, which amazes the men in the farms and ranches. As a result, the men who feel pressured have to eat a lot of recipes that enhance their appearance and temperament, thus turning all the men and women in the space into gods and goddesses.

Now, apart from Ling Chi, Shuang'er is the only one who hasn't eaten from the recipe. Shuang'er's reason for not eating is simple: "I want my brother to always remember what I looked like at the beginning."

Ling Chi was deeply moved. Shuang'er was indeed the best; no one could compare.

Of course, Shuang'er only said this to Ling Chi; none of the other women knew, nor could they figure out why Shuang'er wouldn't eat those recipes. Wasn't she afraid of being outshone by the other women in the future?

Little did they know that it was precisely because Shuang'er didn't eat that she was Ling Chi's favorite, unmatched by anyone else.

After all, a beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million. When people get along, the most important thing is not appearance, but the heart. Although Shuang'er is not a stunning beauty, she is the one who wins Ling Chi's heart the most.

The clever Huang Rong had actually guessed a thing or two, but she still chose to eat the recipe to enhance her appearance. The reason was simple: she couldn't compare to Shuang'er in terms of 'heart', so she had to maintain the highest level in terms of appearance. Apart from Shuang'er, she didn't want to lose to anyone.

And she did indeed do it; over the past few days, Ling Chi had certainly put a lot of pressure on her.

Regardless of gender, things will eventually lose their novelty over time, and the changes in the women are the biggest source of novelty. Huang Rong, being close to the water, was the first to enjoy Ling Chi's favor.

Whether it's psychological or not, Huang Rong not only became more beautiful on the outside, but also seemed to have undergone a change on the inside, becoming much more stimulating.

He seems to have discovered the hidden effects of good looks and charisma.

……

The farm was in good condition. When Shang Xiuxun entered the ranch, she was immediately excited to see the vast grassland and countless cattle, sheep and horses. After getting to know Qiao Feng and the others, she chose a tall horse and ran freely in the ranch.

Seeing that Shang Xiuxun didn't even need a saddle or stirrups, but relied entirely on the strength of her waist, abdomen, and legs to grip the horse's belly and walk as steadily as on land, Qiao Feng couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "What excellent riding skills!"

He turned to Ling Chi and said, "Brother Ling, you've found a great kitchen helper!"

"It's alright." Ling Chi smiled and said, "Actually, I initially wanted her to be a herdsman, but she has a great talent for cooking, and it would be a waste for her to just be a herdsman, so I recruited her as a kitchen helper."

“It’s better to be a kitchen helper,” Azi said. “Farms and ranches are nice too, but it’s so annoying that we can’t go out. I’m getting a little impatient!”

Ling Chi glanced at her and said, "You, with absolutely no talent for cooking, want to be a kitchen helper? Dream on!"

"You...you're driving me crazy!" Azi punched Qiao Feng in frustration: "Your wife has been bullied, and you're not going to help me get revenge?"

Qiao Feng: "..."

……

About an hour later, Shang Xiuxun, who had enjoyed the ride, jumped off the horse and said in high spirits, "The horses here are really good. They are of good breed, fast, and not bumpy at all. They are definitely rare thoroughbreds."

Ling Chi laughed and said, "After all, the breed has been optimized for over a hundred years. If it didn't have this quality, the herders here would be so ashamed that they would want to commit suicide by hitting their heads against the wall."

Qiao Feng: "..."

Azi punched him again: "He's mocking us!"

Qiao Feng: This is too hard for me (；'д｀)ゞ.

“The horses here are so much better than those at our Pegasus Ranch.” Shang Xiuxun stroked the horse’s body and mane and said, “If these warhorses appeared at Pegasus Ranch, warlords from all over the world would be lining up at my door.”

"Ahem, these aren't warhorses, they're meat horses," Ling Chi said somewhat awkwardly.

"Meat horse?" Shang Xiuxun was stunned for a moment, then her expression suddenly changed: "Brother Ling, you wouldn't...?"

“Yes, all the livestock kept here are for food.” Ling Chi nodded.

"..." Shang Xiuxun almost choked on her breath: "Brother Ling, are you stupid? The horses here are all top-quality horses that are worth a fortune. You actually want to eat them? Even if you make them into dishes, how much money can you make?"

“That’s a lot of money!” Ling Chi said. “Even just a horse meat sandwich can sell for tens of taels of silver!”

"..." Shang Xiuxun clutched her chest: feeling blue and sad.

Knowing that Shang Xiuxun had raised horses since childhood and was a horse lover, Ling Chi didn't want her to be upset anymore, so he took her away from the ranch and returned to reality from the Chef God Space.

"Get some rest, and it will be a new day from now on," Ling Chi said.

"Hmm." Shang Xiuxun nodded, and seeing that Ling Chi's eyes were a little glazed over again, she couldn't help but look down. Upon looking down, she realized that the clothes that had been created in the Chef God Space could not exist in reality and had disappeared.

Ling Chi saw it all.

"Ah!!!!" Shang Xiuxun hurriedly jumped onto the bed and covered her healthy and beautiful body.

Ling Chi felt a pang of regret and said, "You should rest now! I'm leaving."

Silent all night.

Chapter Nineteen: Wanwan Vomited

Whether out of embarrassment or a desire to resolve the Pegasus Ranch matter as soon as possible, Shang Xiuxun left Peach Blossom Island after breakfast the next day. Then she enjoyed the first benefit of becoming a kitchen helper—she could take delicious food from her space at any time.

The entire Chef's Space is now filled with countless finished dishes, all accumulated by Ling Chi, Huang Rong, and Shuang'er over the years, but most of them are various ingredients that have been processed but not yet cooked.

Ling Chi had already told Shang Xiuxun that these finished recipes all had the effect of increasing various attributes. Relying on the 'Gluttony' ability, Shang Xiuxun ate at least five hundred dishes on her way back to the Pegasus Ranch, and forcibly ate her way from a top-tier blue character to a regular purple character.

At the same time, she helped Ling Chi confirm that the 'Gluttony' ability does indeed have a synergistic effect on the absorption of recipes. For example, a recipe that increases true qi by 1 year will become an increase of 1.1 years, a 10% bonus, after she eats and digests it.

Strength, constitution, and agility also receive a 10% bonus. 10% may seem like little, but the difference becomes enormous if you consume too much. It's like comparing nine dollars to ten dollars; it seems insignificant, but what about nine hundred thousand versus one million? And even larger, what about nine million versus ten million? And ninety million versus one hundred million?

Therefore, on the way back to Pegasus Ranch from Shang Xiuxun, Ling Chi practiced the recipe for "Gluttony" to 100% completion and then made a portion for himself, Huang Rong, and Shuang'er.

The three of them ate the gluttonous feast, and when they tried other dishes, they indeed received a 10% bonus. This was a truly unexpected surprise, as it directly reduced the consumption of finished dishes by nearly 10%. Previously, it took 100 dishes to level up, but now only 91 are needed (I'm not mistaken, am I?). One person can save 9 dishes; what about 100 people? 200 people? What if the space expands again in the future, allowing for the recruitment of even more people?

How much silver can be exchanged for the nearly 10% of recipes that are saved?

Lingchi was delighted.

……

On the third day after Shang Xiuxun left, a beautiful, barefoot girl dressed in white arrived at Peach Blossom Island.

Standing on the land of Peach Blossom Island for the first time, Wanwan's eyes were full of curiosity.

Everything here is different from the inland. First of all, this is an island. This is the first time Wanwan has ever seen the sea. She used to think that the Yangtze River was already very magnificent, but after seeing the sea, she realized what true grandeur and magnificence are.

The scenery on Peach Blossom Island is very beautiful. Even before you set foot on the island, you can see a pink expanse in the distance. That is a peach blossom forest in full bloom. The fragrance of peach blossoms can be smelled hundreds of meters away. When Wanwan smells the fragrance of peach blossoms, she reveals a smile that can captivate all beings.

After landing on the island, a very pretty young girl dressed as a maid approached and asked, "Is this your first time here, beautiful lady?"

Seeing that the maid was very polite, Wanwan smiled slightly and said, "Yes!"

"In that case, please come with me!" The maid led her toward the peach blossom grove, saying as they walked, "If there's anything you don't understand, Miss, you can ask me."

Wanwan smiled and said, "I do have something to ask right now."

"Please speak, Miss."

"Is the food on Peach Blossom Island really that delicious?" Wanwan asked.

The maid smiled and said, "Of course it's delicious. Miss will know I'm not just praising it after you've tried it."

Wanwan smiled slightly: "I thought so too. Is your island lord named Ling Chi?"

“That’s right,” the maid said. “Young Master is the master of Peach Blossom Island. When it comes to cooking skills, no one in the world can compare with him.”

Seeing the maid's admiring look, Wanwan smiled slightly: "That's really impressive."

After passing through the peach blossom grove, Wanwan came to a small square with a fountain in the center, which amazed her: "How does the water flow upstream?"

"Only the young master knows this," the maid said with a smile. "Besides being a great cook, the young master is also very talented in other areas."

"Did Ling Chi make this?" Wanwan was even more surprised.

"Yes." The maid nodded and said, "The construction of the entire Peach Blossom Island was designed by the young master himself. Every plant, every brick and tile here reflects the young master's hard work."

"..." Wanwan looked at the pavilions and towers outside the fountain, as well as the faintly visible orchards and vegetable gardens, and thought to herself: This Lingchi is quite ingenious.

……

"Young Master, this is Miss's first time here," the maid said to Ling Chi, who was carving a watermelon at the counter, as she led Wanwan into the hall.

"Oh?" Ling Chi looked up and glanced at it, and immediately couldn't take his eyes off it.

Dressed in white and barefoot, with long hair flowing over her shoulders, she was as beautiful as an elf.

This is a beautiful girl on par with Shang Xiuxun, and even surpasses her in terms of temperament, because the moment I saw her, it stirred up my lustful desires.

"Did you come alone, young lady?" Ling Chi stood up and asked.

Wanwan glanced at the half-finished watermelon. Although only half of it was carved, it was clearly a peacock with its tail feathers spread. The carving was so lifelike that even upon closer inspection, one would mistake it for a real peacock.

“Yes, I came by myself,” Wanwan said with a smile.

That smile was breathtaking, captivating all who beheld it.

Ling Chi shuddered. He had never seen such a seductive woman in his life. Even Bai Qing'er, who was born with a seductive nature, was slightly inferior to her. This reminded him of someone.

“It’s rare to see a girl come alone, especially such a beautiful one. It seems you’re no ordinary person.” Ling Chi suppressed his inner excitement and smiled calmly.

"Island Master Ling has excellent eyesight." Wanwan smiled charmingly, her beautiful eyes sparkling, making Ling Chi's heart pound.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Chi asked, "May I ask your name, young lady? And where are you from?"

“My name is Wanwan!” Wanwan smiled and said, “But where I come from is my secret. Can Island Master Ling please not ask?”

As expected, it was Wanwan, that enchantress.

"If you don't want to talk about it, I certainly won't ask," Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "Would you like to eat now, young lady?"

"Mmm." Wanwan blinked, her eyes like stars, her voice charming yet ethereal, very pleasant to hear: "People have come all this way because of your reputation, so don't disappoint them!"

"Of course not," Ling Chi said. "Please come with me, young lady."

He led Wanwan upstairs to a private room and sat her down. After the tea and fruit platter were served, Ling Chi handed her the menu and said, "Here is the menu. Miss, please take a look and see what you would like to eat?"

Wanwan took the two thick menus. The full-color and realistic pictures amazed her once again. She asked, "Such realistic images. Did Island Master Ling draw these?"

“No one in the world has this ability.” Ling Chi shook his head and said, “It was done using photocopying technology.”

"Photocopying technology?" Wanwan became increasingly curious.

Ling Chi smiled slightly: "Please order, miss."

Seeing that Ling Chi was unwilling to say more, Wanwan rolled her eyes slightly and flipped through the menu, mainly looking at the prices. It was a white menu, and the prices were relatively cheap, but each dish still ranged from ten to a hundred taels, which broadened Wanwan's horizons.

But when she saw the blue menu, she realized that poverty had limited her imagination. A single dish cost hundreds or thousands of taels of silver, and the most expensive dishes even cost tens of thousands of taels.

Wanwan chuckled: "Island Master Ling, you really dare to set a price!"

“Every guest who comes here thinks it’s expensive before they eat there, but after they’ve eaten it, no one thinks that way anymore.” Ling Chi smiled slightly: “Why don’t you give it a try, young lady?”
