A Bite of Douluo Continent

I remember that before I chose between arts and sciences, I never passed history in high school.

The subsequent four-star recipes will also be introduced using a similar dining setting. For example, the one that has already appeared, "Zilong Removes His Armor," may be familiar to some. The legend of this dish is related to Brother Zilong.

Although I consider five stars to be the highest, the most detailed and highest-level description should be four stars.

As for what the five stars will look like, please stay tuned.

Having said that, let's talk about this big update.

There's a reason why I update each chapter, and the reason will be indicated after the chapter title.

This should be the second time this month that I've updated so much. The first time was on New Year's Day, when I updated 23 chapters, because of two alliance leaders.

This time, all the extra chapters owed from the end of last month until now were paid off in one go, with a total of eighteen chapters released.

Hmm... except for the loquat boss's, because the loquat boss gave me another 100,000 coins a few days ago, so I owe him another ten chapters...

I'm speechless. I'm obsessed with loquats, I'm crazy about loquats, I'd bang my head against a wall for loquats!

Although I've already mentioned it once, many new readers have come because of the limited-time free access, so I'll repeat myself and go over my extra chapter rules again.

An extra update will be added on statutory holidays.

QQ Browser's rating reached 9.6 and remained stable for a week, so two more updates will be added.

The rating reached 9.7 and remained stable for a week, so I'll add three more chapters.

The rating reached 9.8 and remained stable for a week, so four more chapters will be added.

For every 100 members in the book club who have subscribed to all books, one extra chapter will be added.

The average daily subscription on the main site starts at 500. For every additional 100 subscriptions, two more chapters will be added.

Breakthrough level Lv3, five more chapters added.

One extra chapter will be added for every 10,000 coins donated on the Qidian main site, with no upper limit.

that's all.

The Lunar New Year is almost here, so let me talk about my update plan during the holiday.

First of all, I will not ask for leave; in fact, I will add more chapters.

It will destroy other authors.

From January 1.31st to February 2.6th, during the seven statutory holidays, one extra update will be added each day, meaning at least three updates per day.

2.1 I will finish writing the ten chapters for Pipa during the Spring Festival, which means that I will write at least 13 chapters during the Spring Festival.

Because I update frequently during the Chinese New Year period, although I don't ask for rewards, I don't rule out the possibility of some bosses rewarding me. It's still 10,000 coins per update with no upper limit. I will add extra updates from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival and cash them out on the spot.

In addition, four full-subscription bonus chapters will be released on New Year's Eve, Spring Festival, Valentine's Day, and Lantern Festival, with a total word count of about 2.5. The release time will be 00:00 on the same day. Among them, the Valentine's Day bonus chapter is the sweet moment between the male and female leads that everyone has been looking forward to.

I've already written the four side stories and sent them to the editor, so you don't need to worry about them being delayed.

Finally, welcome to all new readers who discovered this book because it was free for a limited time.

Whether or not to subscribe to the previous chapters is up to you. I don't expect you to subscribe again, since it's not fair to make people spend money to buy content they've already read. But if you don't subscribe, you might not be able to read the full set of extra chapters, and there's nothing I can do about that.

If any readers plan to switch to a free platform to read this book after the free trial ends, please prioritize QQ Browser, because the author receives advertising revenue there, while the author will not receive any income if read on a pirated website.

Thank you all for your continued support. This book will only get better and better, and that wouldn't be possible without each and every one of you.

Chapter 443 New Training Plan (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations)

It wasn't until Ruyi called out to him with some concern that Qi Han, who was standing quietly in the system space, regained his spirit.

Although everything in the Food Realm was just a memory illusion, it was so real that even with Qi Han's current Soul King level spiritual power, it was difficult for him to quickly escape from it.

He now understood why Ruyi had repeatedly emphasized that only those at the Soul King level could unlock the four-star recipe.

The threshold of one's spiritual realm has little to do with the difficulty of cooking itself, but the realm of food is like reliving the life of the recipe creator. For those who experience it, it is almost like a reincarnation. If one's spiritual realm is too low, one is very likely to be completely lost after entering it and lose sight of oneself.

Only a mental strength strong enough to withstand the soul shock of a ten-thousand-year soul ring can ensure that one remains conscious in the Food Realm.

However, Qi Han gained a lot from this trip to the Food Realm.

After regaining his senses, he walked into the peony fish fillet training space that had already been opened without hesitation.

In the training space of the peony fish slices, there were neither phantoms nor remnant souls.

In fact, it's no longer necessary.

Qi Han rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Within the realm of food, he had already prepared the peony fish slices countless times while residing in Qin Shi's body.

He felt he could make the peony fish fillets in one go!

As it turned out, this was just Qi Han's illusion.

After a long while, Qi Han looked at the peony fish slices in front of him, which looked like peonies but tasted completely different, and fell into deep thought.

Ah this...

That shouldn't be the case.

"Ruyi, I've made this many times in the Food Realm, so why is there such a big difference in the result now?"

“What was made in the Food Realm wasn’t you, it was Qin Shi.” Ruyi couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “If you could learn it directly by possessing someone once, then what would be the point of practicing? The Food Realm just allows you to more clearly feel the origin and development process of the dish through possession. It’s like pointing out a broad road for you, and you can just follow it.”

"But you still have to practice what you need to practice, don't try to slack off."

"Alright." Qi Han scratched his head. "By the way, I spent so much time inside the Food Realm, how much time has passed outside?"

"A long time is just your perception; in reality, only a moment has passed outside. It's like how you perceive time differently in a dream than in reality."

So that's how it is?

Qi Han was immediately relieved. He was worried that spending too much time in the food realm would delay the subsequent business. It seemed that outside, it was only dinner time on the fifth day of his leave.

He's gotten used to the late-night snack hours now, and he can't fall asleep this early.

We will resume business tomorrow, but we will not be open for late-night snacks tonight.

Then…

Take advantage of the fact that you've just finished the Food Realm and your understanding is at its clearest, and practice making Botan fish fillets.

With this in mind, Qi Han began to bury himself in rigorous training.

Speaking of which...did you forget something?

Hmm... probably not.

Keep it up, fellow learners!

...

"teacher…"

Ye Lingqing stood in front of Qi Han's room with some hesitation, reaching out to knock, but after a long pause, she put her hand down.

The teacher has been out for so long, and as soon as he came back he went straight to his room. He must have something very important to do, so I shouldn't disturb him.

but…

Thinking of what Qi Han had said before going upstairs, Ye Lingqing was still somewhat confused.

Are you going to leave the breakfast business to me from now on?

Although Gu had five days of operating experience, Ye Lingqing was confident that she could continue operating for a while longer without much trouble.

but…

The teacher's words implied that it wasn't as simple as just asking him to persevere for a while longer.

Why does it feel like... the teacher is trying to slack off?

No, no, no, that's definitely not it.

Ye Lingqing shook her head violently, suppressing this inexplicable thought, and returned to her room.

You should get some rest.

It looks like he'll still be in charge of keeping the breakfast business running tomorrow.

...

Ye Lingqing's guess was correct.

The next day, Qi Han woke up Ye Lingqing early, then only showed up briefly during breakfast hours, chatted with the customers he hadn't seen for a few days, and then leisurely returned to his room, leaving the poor Ye Lingqing to continue running the breakfast business.

Now Qi Han only has one task left, the main quest eight, which he has not yet completed.

With his five-day leave, all his previous accumulated business days were wiped out, and he had to start operating again for another 100 days.

After completing side quest nine, Qi Han will have finished all the side quests in the main quest stage eight. Only by completing main quest eight and entering main quest nine will new side quests be activated.

As for triggering time-limited tasks, it's purely a matter of luck.

This also means that he will hardly have the opportunity to obtain new recipes in the short term.

Qi Han has mastered all the three-star recipes he had previously acquired. The only recipes he has yet to master are the two four-star recipes, Peony Fish Slices and Zilong Armor Removal. Neither of these four-star recipes can be completed in a short period of time.

So after a long period of being rich enough to learn countless new recipes, Qi Han has now returned to square one.

However, Qi Han was not worried about this.

On the one hand, he has four more three-star recipes that he plans to launch today. With all the dishes he launched at once before, even if he doesn't launch any new dishes for the next hundred days, he believes that diners will not have too many complaints.

On the other hand, he also has the right to purchase one-star recipes, and can still launch a few one-star dishes from time to time.

Although the dishes served in the one-star restaurant are mainly various vegetables.

But there's been a lot of meat dishes lately during the Cold Food Festival, so some light vegetables would be nice.

With Ye Lingqing officially taking over the breakfast business, Qi Han's training plan also underwent new changes.

The morning training time was freed up again, and with the afternoon training time added, Qi Han's training time returned to a level similar to the beginning.

After being promoted to intermediate chef, Qi Han had two training spaces, but this did not mean that Qi Han would use both of them at the same time, since he could not divide his learning into two parts.

The purpose of having two training spaces is mainly to allow him to learn other recipes while learning a very difficult one, so that he won't be stuck in the training space because learning one dish takes too long and thus delay mastering other dishes, giving him more freedom.
