Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

But once their dreams are shattered, they will either bow down to reality or become scumbags.

The only difference is whether someone is ugly or handsome.

Ling Chi looks...

……

After teasing the maid for a while, Ling Chi comfortably washed away the dust and fatigue of his journey. Then, with Xia Xiang's help, he changed into a new set of clothes and went to the main room for a meal, feeling refreshed.

Inside the main room, hot pot ingredients were already laid out on the table, and Shuang'er and her six other maids were waiting there.

Upon seeing Ling Chi arrive, Shuang'er stood up and sweetly called out, "Brother."

The other six maids also called out, "Young Master."

Ling Chi nodded with a smile, walked over and sat down next to Shuang'er, and asked, "Did you go out to play today?"

Shuang'er shook her head: "It's too cold outside, it's warmer at home."

Ling Chi laughed and said, "You have nearly a hundred years of internal energy, and you're still afraid of the cold? Are you afraid of bothering the young master of the Vice Minister's family?"

“I can’t hide it from you, brother.” Shuang’er stuck out her tongue and said, “That guy is so annoying. I’ve told him so many times not to do this, but he never listens.” She hugged Ling Chi’s arm and shook it a few times. “Brother, go and talk to him! Tell him to stop following me around.”

Two weeks ago, Shuang'er took Mei'er and Lan'er out shopping, where they encountered a young master from a wealthy family with a group of lackeys. Seeing that Shuang'er, Mei'er, and Lan'er were pretty, he surrounded them and tried to take advantage of them.

Although Shuang'er was obedient, she was not weak. During the months she had traveled the world with Ling Chi, she had killed people before. When she encountered this spoiled brat, she immediately attacked him with both hands, beating him until his head was swollen like a pig's.

When the young master was beaten, those lackeys rushed over, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, but without exception, they were all beaten by Shuang'er to the point of being unable to take care of themselves.

I thought it was just a small matter, but I never expected that this playboy was the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

When the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel saw that his good-for-nothing son had been beaten into a pulp, he was furious. He wanted to avenge his son, but there were too many powerful people in the capital. Before he could find out the identity of the other party, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel dared not take any rash action.

His caution saved him.

Upon learning that his good-for-nothing son had flirted with the sister of the master chef Lou Dong, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel immediately invoked the family law, gave his son a severe beating, tied him with a thorny branch, and sent him to Ling Chi's house to beg for forgiveness.

Ling Chi hadn't expected Shuang'er to encounter such a situation, but after learning the details and the outcome, he magnanimously chose to forgive her. He then personally cooked a good meal for the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

This was the first time the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel had tasted food prepared by Ling Chi herself, and he was immediately won over.

Later, at Ling Chi's instruction, Shuang'er brought a bowl of rice to the young master of the vice minister, who was standing in the corner as punishment: "Eat something!"

The young master of the Vice Minister finished the bowl of rice with tears streaming down his face. From then on, he regarded Shuang'er as the treasure he would protect for the rest of his life. Whenever Shuang'er went out for a stroll, he would always lead a group of lackeys to protect her, which annoyed Shuang'er to no end.

Gradually, Shuang'er became too lazy to go out.

Chapter 43 Level Restrictions

“Okay, I’ll go talk to him.” Ling Chi laughed, “If he follows Shuang’er again next time, I’ll break his legs.”

"No need to break his leg, just stop him from bothering me." Shuang'er was still very kind.

"I'll do whatever you say."

In the dead of winter, when it's freezing cold, staying at home with a coal stove burning and enjoying a hot pot meal, sweating profusely from the heat, is simply one of life's greatest pleasures.

"Brother, what do you think of these mutton slices?" Shuang'er asked with a hint of nervousness in her eyes. "Are they evenly sliced?"

"It's pretty good." Ling Chi smiled and said, "Shuang'er's knife skills are getting better and better. It's a pity there's not enough Yuanbao meat, although the stuffed meat is also quite good."

"The lambs were pre-ordered by many restaurants before they were even slaughtered. It took me a lot of effort to buy just one piece." Shuang'er pouted, then suddenly thought of something and said, "Brother, why don't we raise our own sheep?"

"There's no need." Ling Chi waved his hand: "Herding cattle and sheep sounds fun, but you'll only know how tiring it is when you actually do it. Shuang'er, just be your young lady, play when you want, eat when you want, just don't think about suffering or hardship."

Shuang'er beamed with joy at these words, while the maids looked on with envy.

"Young master is so good to young lady."

"Is the young master not good to you?" Ling Chi looked at the young maids, who were truly charming and adorable, each with their own strengths. Although they couldn't compare to Yi Lin, they were no less beautiful than Yue Ling Shan. Having so many lovely maids by his side every day, he wouldn't trade them for an emperor.

"Young Master treats us extremely well," the maids said, praising his kindness. Qiu Xiang added, "Compared to before, I feel like I'm living in paradise!"

"It's not that exaggerated," Ling Chi laughed.

"I'm not lying," Qiu Xiang said very seriously. "I've heard people say that once you become a servant, if you're lucky enough to be born into a good family, you'll be able to eat and dress well. But if you're born into a bad family, you'll be beaten and scolded almost every day, and it's not uncommon for people to be beaten to death. In the end, you'll only have a tattered mat to wrap yourself in and be thrown into the wilderness to be eaten by wild dogs."

At this point, Qiu Xiang's eyes welled up with tears, and she lowered her head: "I only have one older sister, who was..."

Perhaps feeling the same way, all the maids shed tears.

Wiping away her tears, Qiu Xiang said, "I don't know what good deeds I did in my past life to be able to meet such a good master as you, young master, in this life."

“Yes, yes, that’s right too.” Dongxiang nodded repeatedly.

“Me too,” Mei’er nodded.

Lan'er, Zhu'er, Ju'er: "..."

"..." Ling Chi scratched his head and said, "Don't think that you can skip practicing your skills just because you're flattering me. Every single one of you is allowed to practice your skills for an hour tonight, no one is allowed to sleep."

"..."

……

Late at night, in the Chef's Space.

……

A few days ago, after his four basic attributes reached 100, they remained unchanged. He initially thought he had hit a bottleneck and needed to keep eating to accumulate experience before he could break through. However, despite eating continuously for several days, the values ​​remained the same.

Could it be that I've reached the limit of my level?

Culinary Skills: Top-Tier White (74.25/100)

"..." Ling Chi seemed to be deep in thought.

It should be.

While recipes can boost attribute values, the body's endurance is ultimately limited. Once the limit is reached, attribute values ​​can no longer be increased.

Based on what I've read in novels and comics, the only way to improve physical endurance is to push your limits.

Considering that the [God of Cookery System] is attached to him, it seems that the only way to break through the limits is to improve his cooking skills.

Speaking of which, he's been at the top level of the White culinary skill level for a year and a half now.

It wasn't that he didn't want to level up quickly; it was just that he had only encountered two top-tier white-level diners: Feng Qingyang and Dongfang Bubai. Although he had encountered quite a few high-level white-level diners, the 0.01 experience points he received each time were simply not enough to motivate him.

A year and a half of effort only resulted in a 74.25% improvement.

This culinary master system is truly ingenious; it actually links culinary skill levels to diner levels. Without corresponding diners, you can forget about improving your culinary skills.

"No wonder it has a teleportation function." Ling Chi suddenly realized.

Without the ability to travel between worlds, given the character levels in the world of Swordsman Online, reaching the blue cooking skill level would probably be the limit, not to mention the four major levels and twelve minor levels of purple, red, gold, and diamond.

"..."

Look at your lifespan: 81.6 years.

"Life is so glorious, life is so wonderful." Ling Chi stretched: "Why rush to level up? I want to enjoy life."

"Ding, eating clay pot porridge, true qi +0.8."

"Brother, my true energy has reached 100 years." Shuang'er beamed with joy: "Now I'm just as powerful as you, brother."

Ling Chi: "..."

Pshaw! If I don't level up, you'll only have a hundred years of cultivation in your entire life.

Thinking of Zhu Fei, who was at the blue level, Ling Chi scratched his head.

Let's try to upgrade!

……

Three days later, in a secluded cave on Mount Hua.

A carrier pigeon landed outside the cave, cooing.
