Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

[Settlement complete, overall rating S, perfect clear of Blade Phase.]

Obtain a Skill Card Chest and a Chef Superb Profession Card.

As the prompt appeared, a red card landed in his hand.

The front of the card features a smiling chef cooking a shark.

Extraordinary Pro Card: Chef, obtained!
Chen Qi happily accepted it and looked at the prompt in front of him.

[Should I draw a skill card chest? (Rare Blade Aspect 16%, Common Blade Aspect 44%, Rare Goblet Aspect 10%, Common Goblet Aspect 30%)]

Aside from black market transactions, the main way to obtain professional skill cards is as a reward for clearing rifts.

Ordinary skill cards are skill cards that slightly increase knowledge; most of them are skills that can be learned over time.

Rare class cards are either skill cards that moderately increase knowledge or extraordinary skills!
Under normal circumstances, E-grade rifts can only produce rare class cards when they are perfectly rated.

16% chance of getting a rare Blade aspect, 10% chance of getting a rare Cup aspect...

His luck is low, so even if he completes the game perfectly, the probability of drawing a rare class card is still a bit low.

Now is undoubtedly a crucial moment to test one's luck!
The skill card of the Cup Image may be overwritten by the skill of the Extraordinary Chef.

If possible, he wants a rare Blademaster skill card to further enhance his combat power.

Chen Qi rubbed his hands together, excitedly thinking to himself:
"Draw a card!"

His luck has come to the test!
With a whoosh of wind, a bright red skill card materialized in the air!
rare!
Wait, cup appearance?
Chen Qi frowned. On the back of the card was a blood cup design.

But something seems a little off.

Within the blood of the Holy Grail lies a bright red, sharp blade.

A rare skill card for the Cup Blade archetype!

I was startled when I woke up in the morning.

He should be considered to have drawn a rare Blade Aspect skill card.

Blade Body Forging Technique - Beginner
Nature/Appearance: Cup, Blade
Description: There is an insurmountable wall between armed and unarmed combat. Therefore, as long as I train my body to be as sharp as a blade, I will be that wall!
Effect: Practicing this skill will increase your strength and physique, and grant you the active skill "Burst".

Burst: Consumes spiritual energy to greatly enhance the body's damage resistance and strength for a very short time. (This skill is affected by constitution and strength; the higher the attributes, the stronger the skill.)

Skill cards that increase constitution and strength!

Chen Qi felt a surge of joy.

He had expected to draw extraordinary martial arts techniques such as "Swallow Return," "Flowing Water Fist," or "Soul-Stealing Palm," but he never expected to draw a body-strengthening technique.

Body Tempering Techniques, like Breathing Techniques, are quite practical foundational skills and are also the type of skill card that improves constitution the most in the early stages.

"Another attribute increase..."

As a strategy guide content creator, Chenqi has always focused on gameplay, emphasizing 'manipulating you'.

Of course, behind every cool "play" is at least ten "plays that are easy to watch while eating".

But now, he has gone further and further down the path of high-end panel manufacturing.

This is really—

awesome!
A higher panel size means a higher margin for error.

Chen Qi excitedly gripped the skill card, a thought forming in his mind!
"Use!" The skill card turned into blood-red ink and vanished into thin air.

[You have learned the Blade Body Forging Technique - Beginner Level.]

Suddenly, Chen Qi felt a surge of knowledge flooding in.

In that instant, countless scenes flashed through his mind: building muscle, catching a blade bare-handed, punching steel until it yielded...

It felt like a long dream.

As the dream ended, Chen Qi took a few breaths and felt some changes in his body.

[Your Constitution +1, Your Strength +1, Your body is absorbing the Blade Body Forging Technique.]

Your physical condition has met the requirements; you have mastered the 'explosive' skill.

"call……"

I stretched my muscles and bones in the morning.

Skills like body-strengthening exercises require training and proper diet to develop.

Ultimately, there should be at least a 5-point bonus to Constitution and a 5-point bonus to Strength, which is a pretty good number.

I stretched my muscles and bones in the morning.

Accompanied by a creaking sound, a wound appeared on the wall of the restaurant in front of him. The wound slowly opened up and eventually turned into a wormhole full of sharp teeth.

[The rift has closed. Please leave in 30 minutes. You will not be allowed to enter the rift again for two weeks.]

[The rift is being reset...]

Many cracks will reveal additional exits when you pass through the level.

Furthermore, the crack will refresh as long as the distortion is not lower than zero.

Chen Qi looked at the prompt and then looked around again.

Although they obtained the Extraordinary Class Card and a rare Body Tempering Skill Card.

But there was one most important thing he hadn't done.

Licking the bag!

The items inside the crack are valuable goods; if they can be transported out, a large sum of money can be made.

Chen Qi found a bag and began scraping the cracks.

The chef's hat was made of ordinary rags, his weapons were made of ordinary iron, and the food on the cutting board was rotten fish...

There's nothing of value here.

Chen Qi shook his head, squatted down, and looked under the kitchen counter.

At that moment, he noticed a half-closed cabinet.

boom!
Chen used a knife to open the cabinet.

Inside the cabinet were four bulging bags.

At the same time, he smelled a strong fragrance.

Chen Qi's eyes lit up immediately:
"This is... spices!"
