"Let's run it legally first. I have a half-baked restaurant idea that I want to test out first."
"Well, it's a good thing to have ideas. If you need financial support for restaurant renovation, remember to come to me."
"Don't worry, sister. If I really need money, I won't be polite to you. By the way, can you find the file of Femini's child for me? I'll check the information."
"The children's files... I haven't had time to look at them yet. Let me find them for you." As he said that, Alechino stood up and rummaged through the filing cabinet behind him. Finally, he pulled out a file marked [Fimini] and handed it to Chao Ke.
【Name: Femini】
[Source: sent by mother]
[Abilities: Ice attribute God's Eye, excellent diving ability, equipment repair...]
【Task execution record: ....】
[Background check: Born in the Fontaine Grey River area... His father owed a huge debt to the Firebird Order... When the family debt could not be repaid, his mother sent Femini to the mansion for protection and faced the moneylenders alone...]
When Chao Ke saw the "Firebird Order", his eyes lit up. Sure enough, there were some records of the moneylender gang in the mansion's files. This way, it would be much easier for him to find them. If he had gone there earlier, maybe Femini's mother could have been saved.
Alechino seemed to have sensed something from Chaoko's expression. He took Femini's file from Chaoko and read it from beginning to end.
Alechino sighed and said, "This child is quite pitiful... His mother fell into the hands of the scum of the Firebird Order. I'm afraid she will suffer a lot."
As he spoke, Alechino took out a letter from the pile of documents on the table and handed it to Chao Ke.
"This is?"
Chao Ke opened the file envelope in confusion and found that it was the mansion's investigation report on the Fire Bird Order.
The Firebird Order is a small organization that has been active in the Fontaine Grey River area for many years. Its business involves loan sharking, violent debt collection, extortion... But in the past six months, its behavior has suddenly become low-key and it is difficult to find its whereabouts. It is suspected that it is involved in the sale of the banned drug "Les".
"Violent debt collection, selling of Les, no matter how you look at it, they are a group of people who will stay in Melo Petersburg until they die. It is hard to imagine what kind of inhuman treatment Femini's mother will receive in this environment." He said, jutting his chin towards Comos.
Alechino also had a solemn expression on his face, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
After a long moment, Alechino let out a heavy breath and said.
"I know what you're thinking. But the Buffati Mansion just had a change of leadership, and is now under the spotlight of all forces in Fontaine. We are an intelligence organization, and it is not appropriate to make any major moves in the near future."
He nodded to Ke, showing his understanding.
"So, sister, you plan to investigate after this sensitive period?"
"Do not."
Alechino shook his head, and the red cross in his pupils became particularly bright at this moment.
"I plan to go to Gray River myself tonight."
Chao Ke was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Sister, you are becoming more and more charming in my eyes."
Chapter 7: Chef Level Advancement
The next morning, when Chao Ke pushed open the door of the office in the Buffati Mansion, he found that his sister was already sitting at the desk, working.
"You're just in time. Give me a refill of strong tea."
He nodded to Ke, took the teacup handed to him by his sister, and made her another cup of strong tea.
Although my sister didn't look tired after not coming back all night, judging from the dark red bloodstain on the edge of her shoe, it seemed that last night's operation was not smooth sailing.
"How was last night's operation? Did you gain anything?"
"There is some clue about the Firebird Order. Although they tried their best to hide, their methods were too crude. I have already caught a few of them. It was only in the past few days that I destroyed them."
Alechino took a sip of strong tea and spoke calmly.
That's right. After all, he is the head of the intelligence agency of the Kingdom of Winter. It is indeed a bit of an overkill to deal with a little-known organization.
Chao Ke got up, made himself a cup of strong tea, and chatted with his sister for a while.
After drinking a few cups of strong tea, Chao Keben wanted to end the conversation and stop disturbing his sister's work, but was stopped by his sister.
Alechino took out a page of document and a ticket from the desk and handed them to Chao Ke.
"What is this? Business documents and tickets for the Oprykle Opera House?"
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations to the host for completing the advanced task]
[Advanced Task: Own your own restaurant (completed) and obtain a recipe (completed)]
[The host can go to the system interface to start the chef level advancement]
The prompt from the system made Chao Ke breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that the long-term rented shop also belonged to his own restaurant.
After glancing at the seals of the Fontaine Chamber of Commerce and other departments on the shop management documents, Chao Ke put them away and turned his attention to the performance ticket of the Opiclay Opera House.
The performance will be on the day after tomorrow, and the performing troupe is a well-known and established troupe in Fontaine.
"Sister, what is this performance ticket for?"
"It was sent by the Fontaine government, and we are invited to watch the show. It is said that the water demon goddess Funina will perform in person in this show."
Chao Ke frowned slightly, "Are you trying to show us your power?"
Alechino nodded, "I think he wants to warn us."
"I understand, sister. I will attend the performance then."
After leaving the mansion, Chao Ke went straight to his shop.
Looking at the shop that had been cleaned up, Chao Ke could only sigh that the debt handler was very efficient. The task assigned yesterday was completed by the landlord today.
【Ding! 】
[Host property store detected, restaurant decoration generation package available]
[Does the host choose to use it? 】
【whether】
Chao Ke chose the [No] option.
It was still daytime, and his act of taking over this shop was already conspicuous enough. There was no need to attract the attention of Fontaine's related forces by completing the renovation in an instant.
In the Adventurer's Guild, Chao Ke posted a project at market price to build a scaffolding outside his shop to block the view from the inside.
After doing all this, Chao Keshun returned home.
He entered the room, drew the curtains, locked the door, and after confirming that there were no monitoring or surveillance equipment around, Chao Ke sat cross-legged on the ground and opened the system interface.
[Demon Level]
[Chef's level: beginner (can be advanced)]
[Advanced Task: Completed]
Chao Ke chose Advanced in the Chef Level column.
[Chef level advancement begins]
【Advancing...】
[Chef level advanced successfully]
[Congratulations to the host for reaching a new level of chef, apprentice]
In an instant, Chao Ke's body seemed to explode.
A strong sense of separation came from all around, and suddenly, Chao Ke's body seemed to leave the continent of Teyvat and reach a vast sea of stars.
In this sea of stars, countless stars transformed into misty nebulae, irrigating into Chao Ke's body.
But in just a few milliseconds, Chao Ke shuddered all over and instantly got rid of this feeling. His mind and body returned to the continent of Teyvat.
It was as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.
But Chao Ke himself knew that the vast sea of stars he had seen before was definitely not an illusion.
Abundant energy surged in the body, and all the hidden injuries left over the years and the vitality damaged by excessive use of the Evil Eye were replenished by this energy.
Not only that, even his ability to perceive elements has been significantly enhanced.
In addition to the grass element that he mastered, even the fire element around him seemed to be able to be easily mobilized by him.
Looking at the system interface, the four big words "Demon God's Authority" are particularly eye-catching.
[The authority of the chef's demon (apprentice level)]
[1. Fire Element Control (Elementary)]
[2, Food Enchantment (Level )]
"Control of the fire element?"
Chao Ke concentrated his mind and entered the elemental vision.
Ignoring the unusually active grass element, Chao Ke focused on the fire element.
As his thoughts flowed, the fire elements beside him began to flow according to Chao Ke's commands.
"Oh!"
As the fire elements gathered, a small dancing flame appeared in Chao Ke's palm.
"Is this the power of the Devil God? It is indeed a different experience from using the Eye of God..."
Chao Ke carefully experienced the power of the Demon God and couldn't help but admire it.
Chao Ke has personally experienced the authority of elements, the Eye of God, and the Evil Eye. He has the absolute say on their differences.
The authority of the devil (elements), as a power used by devils and immortals, guides the elemental force by relying on consciousness. It not only consumes less, but also makes the elements respond faster.
The Eye of God, as an external organ, is not as smooth as the authority of the demon god in guiding the elemental force. The user needs to inject thoughts into the Eye of God first, and then guide the elemental force. Compared with the authority user, there is one more step, and it consumes more physical energy.
As a replica of the Eye of God, the Evil Eye's guidance of elemental force is even more crude. If the user has no experience using the Eye of God, he can only follow the Evil Eye's own program and use his own life force to guide the elemental force. However, even if the owner of the Eye of God wants to operate the Evil Eye at high power, he will inevitably consume some of his own life force.
The use of the authority of the demon (element) cannot be mastered in a short period of time.
Chao Ke dispersed the flame on his hand and focused his attention on another authority in the system interface.
[Authority of the Kitchen Demon: Food Enchantment (Level 1)]
