The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 128 Conqueror Mode, Timed Objective (Two-in-One Chapter)

It was almost 3 a.m. when the night market activities in Yangcheng ended.

But Fisherman’s Wharf was still brightly lit, and there were still a large number of diners lingering in the park, reluctant to leave for a long time.

I saw Xia An busy packing things in the dining car window.

It looks like it's getting ready to close up shop.

The diners were reluctant to leave.

"Boss Xia, how about we just wait till dawn? I have a feeling that I will be among the next lucky numbers!"

"Yeah, closing at 3 o'clock is too early. I don't want to ask for much, so let's open until o'clock!"

"Guangzhou is a city that doesn't need sleep!"

Click.

Many food media reporters who were still waiting captured this scene, so the latest news report had a large picture and headline:

"The luminous ancient dishes make the strong Lingnan fireworks atmosphere more brilliant"

"The sleepless Guangzhou diners indulge in the city's nightlife just to eat..."

《A dragon roar was heard tonight in the thousand-year-old commercial capital》

Noticing that the emotional diners needed to be calmed down, Xia An grabbed the megaphone:

"Everyone, please go back and make sure to attend the Zhuhai and Shenzhen night market events tomorrow night and the night after. There is still a chance. We really have no ingredients left tonight, not even a drop!"

Some diners sighed.

Some people also asked questions with concern.

"Boss Xia, I know there are night market stalls in two other cities, but they are in Zhuhai and Shenzhen."

“Can you keep cooking up glowing dishes?”

This question.

This made the diners prick up their ears.

Even Meng Yulu and Jing Nina, who were sitting at the riverside dining table with a look of nostalgia on their faces, couldn't help but look up with concern.

Xia An was stunned for a moment, then answered with the diffuser:

"There will be."

“In the next two days of the night market stall, I will continue to do my best to cook glowing dishes and entertain everyone!”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers and applause.

No one doubts Xia An's value as the "re-creator of the luminous secrets of the present age".

Only here.

Ordinary diners can enjoy the most delicious food in the world at a low and affordable price.

"I haven't eaten enough..." Jing Nina felt her stomach was hot and raised her eyebrows in surprise, but she didn't want to lift her clothes to look at her stomach in public.

After all, her "unpalatable mark" is on her lower abdomen and below, very close to her crotch.

"Jiaxin." Meng Yulu stood up and called to Lu Jiaxin, who had just turned off the Douyin live broadcast, "Ask Boss Xia for me, can I go home with him?"

Lu Jiaxin:? ?
"Aunt Meng, it's not..."

Her expression became embarrassed.

"What are you talking about? Why are you going back home with Boss Xia?"

"Literally." Meng Yulu didn't think there was anything wrong with her words. "I haven't eaten enough, and I want to continue eating the glowing dishes. Shouldn't I go home with him and wait nearby?"

Hold the grass.

What a vicious and treacherous statement this is.

Lu Jiaxin was confused.

Then, on the way back to the hotel after closing the stall, in the bus dining car, Xia An actually met Meng Yulu, the contemporary "chef" of Yangquan Restaurant.

"You know, I tasted a kind of leisurely and pure dark chef attainments in your dishes."

Meng Yulu did not hide it and commented on Xia An's glowing version of the Milky Way face.

"Ahem." Xia An corrected, "I don't want to be labeled a dark chef. Stop talking about pure dark soul."

Meng Yulu said with a smile:
"I mean the way you use your culinary skills to create your own gourmet fantasy."

Pause.

The chef narrowed his eyes slightly:
"I'm quite curious. I feel like you're clearly capable of being promoted to the special level, but you seem to be suppressing your realm?"

Xia An was surprised.

This was the first time that his "state-suppressing" behavior was pointed out to his face by a high-ranking celebrity chef.

"I just feel that there is no point in being promoted to the special grade, because my foundation and accumulation are too shallow, and even if I am promoted, I will only be a lowly special grade at the bottom level."

Meng Yulu didn't expect Xia An to answer so straightforwardly. After a moment of shock, she just burst out laughing:
"Would you rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix?"

She spoke in a light tone, in a casual manner, as if chatting about daily life, but she seemed to be giving Xia An some advice intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's good to suppress it. Your idea is correct. Realm is important, but accumulation is more important. Otherwise, even if you stand at a position that seems to be at the top, it is just a castle in the air. There is a danger of falling into the abyss at any time."

"The world has changed. Compared with the ancient Shenzhou, today's chefs' cooking system actually has more invisible 'thresholds'."

Xia An suddenly looked serious: "Oh, would you like to hear more about it?"

Meng Yulu's lips curled up slightly:
“If you want to strive for the hope of transcendence after becoming a Dragon Chef, then the accumulation before the special grade is particularly important. It can be said that it is paving the way for a broad prospect.”

"According to the summary of the great men of the Yangquan Restaurant, before reaching the special grade, if one possesses a kind of 'extreme ability', then it can be considered as having accumulated qualified results."

"At this stage from Special Grade to Lin Grade, no matter what method you use, you can only be qualified if you can condense two 'Extreme Abilities'."

"And when Chef Lin reaches Chef Long's stage, he will transform the remaining, non-transcendental skills into 'Extreme Abilities' as much as possible."

Xia An couldn't help but gasp slightly.

so.

Are the six basic skills required to be gradually "transformed" into ultimate abilities?

Even before Chef Lin is promoted to Chef Long, it is best to transform all six basic skills...

"What's the purpose of doing this?" Xia An asked after thinking for a while.

Meng Yulu stared at him deeply:
"Open up the best "food luck" in the food world."

Xia An: ? ?

The corner of his eye twitched.

Is this the setting he understands?

What does it mean to max out the hidden attribute of luck?
He can find ingredients that the world thinks are extinct just by going out.

Star-destroying masters were fighting each other, and he was watching the popcorn movie while eating melons on the side, but he didn't have any skin injuries.

"I thought 'extreme ability' was to be linked to 'food skills' and 'food morality', but who knew it was actually related to 'food luck'." Xia An took a deep breath.

Meng Yulu said with a smile:

"The next step for Chuxin is to develop into 'food ethics'."

"Although extreme abilities are not directly related to "food skills", practicing many "food skills" requires extreme abilities as a foundation. For example, in the next episode, you will meet the little devil Jing Nina, who has mastered a pseudo-food skill."

Xia An unexpectedly got information about the opponent in the next episode, and immediately became very interested and asked:

"What is the definition of pseudo-food skills?"

"Real food skills require 'gourmet cells' as energy support to activate, but at the 9th-star cooking level, it is too risky to have 'gourmet cells' in the body, and it is easy to be backfired."

"I see. She doesn't have gourmet cell energy in her body?"

"Well... she relied on the extreme heat to cultivate the unique skills of her ancestor, the devil king Jinghua, and used the power of the unique skills to activate the "food skills."

Ultimate skill energy? Xia An thought silently, he also has it in his body, and it may be much stronger than Jing Nina.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. In a nutshell, when you have a supreme ability, that will be the best opportunity for you to be promoted to the special level."

then.

Everyone returned to the hotel.

Meng Yulu booked a suite for herself and lived in the room next to Xia An.

In the bathroom, Xia An stood under the shower, letting the hot water pour over his head. With a smile on his face, he counted the gains from his stall at the night market.

[Goal ① has been completed, set up a stall to sell improved ancient dishes (fantasy version of Galaxy noodles), and achieved a tenfold loss limit. ]

[Goal ② has been completed, the number of diners served exceeded one thousand. ]

[Goal ③ has been completed, successfully entertaining diners with fantasy glowing dishes...]

The first two goals.

Trigger the super double feedback mechanism. Gain 2 cooking experience points respectively.

And for the third goal, you can directly get 1 free attribute point.

When all is said and done, the profit from a night market stall is comparable to a fierce food battle.

Xia An was very happy.

Use this attribute point to continue spending money to add points to the unique skill [Zhou's Food Carving Technique].

[Zhou's Food Carving Technique (Entry Level) → Zhou's Food Carving Technique (Minor Success)]

【Evaluation: Iron painting and silver hook, three points into the wood. 】

[Cannot continue to improve! ]

[The first half of the secret skills can only be practiced to this level of proficiency, please collect the second half of the secret skills! ]

"Huh...it's full for now?"

Xia An turned off the shower and wiped his head with a towel. He could hear himself mumbling in the bathroom:

"Since we plan to use the Food Sculpture Technique in the next episode, this 'Minor Achievement' proficiency level can be considered useful."

The application range of food carving technique is extremely wide, so he was not worried at all about not being able to match the questions.

Compared to the theme of the next episode.

at the moment.

What Xia An was more worried about was the menu for the night markets in two other cities in Guangdong tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Could it be possible that he would set up a stall in three cities?

Are they all making "Fantasy Galaxy"?
It would be so easy if it were just this, no need to come up with new recipes...

Just as Xia An had this thought.

Ding!
[The chef panel has been unlocked and automatically switched to the food conqueror mode. ]

[To become a true chef in the modern world, you must first conquer one province and one place...]

[Limited-time conquest goal ① has been triggered: In the next Zhuhai/Shenzhen night market stall parade, use the unique skill "Zhou's Food Sculpting Technique" to present a new glowing ancient dish (1 attribute point)]

[Limited-time conquest goal ② has been triggered: In the next Zhuhai/Shenzhen night market stall parade, use the ancient kitchenware 'Tianxiong Flame Chain' to present a new glowing ancient dish (1 attribute point)]

[Limited-time conquest goal ③ has been triggered: In the next Zhuhai/Shenzhen night market stall parade, use the unique skill 'Zhou's Food Sculpture Technique' and the ancient kitchenware 'Tianxiong Flame Chain' to present a different new interpretation of glowing ancient dishes in two consecutive night market stall parades (1 limit point)]

"Is this, the panel has unlocked new gameplay?" Xia An's eyes twitched slightly, and he complained in his heart: "Random stall/random menu/become a chef and food hunter mode, plus the regular nanny mode, food battle and competition mode."

“Now there is something new…”

But there is really nothing wrong with it. It is an advanced way of playing the night market stall mode.

Setting up stalls.

Shouldn’t the next step be to conquer a city, capture the taste buds of the people in that city and region with delicious food, and then leave behind legendary and classic deeds?

Tsk tsk.

This is the feeling of the Golden Road of the God of Cooking. Along the way, you silently collect "Legend Points" and "Legend Degrees", and then accumulate them to complete them, ignite the divine fire, and hold high the throne...

Wait, that’s not right. This is not the way to become a god in the world of food.

Xia An put aside unnecessary thoughts and noticed the reward for goal ③, so he stared slightly, took a breath and said to himself:
"what?"

"A reward of 1 limit point?"

What’s going on? The reward standards are actually comparable to those for the champion of the “Juxialou Competition” finals.

Xia An frowned, and then his eyebrows gradually relaxed.

He already knew.

When he defeated his strongest enemy, Kyo Nina, again in the third episode.

He is already invincible in the field of nine-star cooking.

The championship and the like are within easy reach.

then.

This difficulty...

Compare these three new goals horizontally with the "Conqueror Mode" that has just been unlocked, especially goal ③.

Using the unique skill 'Zhou's Food Carving Technique' and the ancient kitchen utensil 'Tianxiong Flame Chain'...

In two consecutive night market parades...

Presenting a different new interpretation of glowing ancient dishes!
Xia An even felt that this goal③ was far more difficult than defeating Jing Nina.

"The good thing is that this 'limited time' is for the next seven days of the week, before the third episode starts airing!"

"That is to say, I am not forced to continue to set up the stall tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

If he had followed the original plan.

We will open the stall tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and will present brand new and shining ancient dishes.

Xia An then thought that there was no need to struggle and he could just lie down and give up.

For two consecutive days, he came up with two completely different new luminous dishes.

This is making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger.jpg
However, if the time limit is relaxed to one week, there will be much more room for maneuver!

"If I get this limit, why not just not hold it back and force the krypton attribute points to the nanny's kitchen heart and advance to the special level?"

In any case, the rewards with extreme points are worth giving it a try.

Xia An finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom to blow dry her hair.

Thinking about where to start.

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Xia An glanced at the clock in the living room of the suite. It was already five or six in the morning.

"it's me."

Meng Yulu's voice.

Xia An suddenly had a strange expression on his face. This sister with such a classical temperament was knocking on the door late at night... No, so early in the morning, what was she doing?

He opened the door.

"This is the second half of the Food Sculpture Secret Manual." Meng Yulu stood at the door. "I just had someone find it from the Yangquan Restaurant's collection and send it over. It's different from the one I gave you before. This is the original. Be careful not to damage it when you look through it."

It seems like he really came here to give you the secret book.

After handing it over, Meng Yulu turned around.

"Sister Meng, wait a minute." Xia An stopped her, "I'm sorry to ask you, but do you have the recipe for 'Tianxiong Roasted Green Fish' in your Yangquan Restaurant collection?"

He didn't even try to hide his intention of snooping into other people's libraries.

Meng Yulu raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Tianxiong Roasted Green Fish?"

She immediately thought of the pictures and short videos that were flooding the friend circle on the night the second episode ended.

Standing on the charcoal fire.

The man who dances with chains in a sea of ​​fire...

what!
At this moment, isn't he standing right in front of her?

"What are you going to do?" Meng Yulu's beautiful eyes were fixed on Xia An, shining with amazing brilliance.

Xia An tried to use a calm tone to describe his suddenly changed stall plan:

"Is such that……"

I heard Xia An say it himself.

At the upcoming night market stall events in the two cities, we need to bring out new and different ancient dishes, and they must shine.

Meng Yulu's long eyelashes were trembling.

After a while, she took a long breath:

"Since your stall activities are going to be upgraded and increased."

“As a partner.”

"I will take the lead and cooperate with you as much as possible! I will meet all your requirements!"

then.

The two agreed to change into clean clothes, and led by Meng Yulu, the "chef", Xia An and her took a Didi car to the Yangquan Restaurant Garden in Guangzhou.
