The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 175 Robot Dog (5K)

Xia An suddenly remembered that Lu Jiaxin and Lu Zuguang's grandfather, the state banquet master Lu Lao Senior, had warned him not to get in touch with [Gourmet Club] and [Neo Food Utopia].

Apparently, just like igo agency.

These forces exist, but not in their complete form.

It is more like a latecomer exploring the "broken food world" and rigidly inheriting the old system.

Thinking of this, Xia An felt a little regretful, but more relieved.

According to the setting of "Captives of Gourmet", there is no ceiling for the battle, and it may even be a bit distorted and destructive.

To confirm whether [GT Robot] exists.

Xia An asked Lu Zuguang about prestige.

This guy is an official, has a job and is paid by the emperor.

[Xia An: Does the 'Food Club' have a GT robot? If so, help me make one. ]

【Lu Zuguang: (Shocked) Boss Xia, how did you know about the GT robot? I really can't get this thing, or it only exists in the data dug out from the ruins, and no organization has dug up the real thing yet! 】

[Xia An: Since you have the technical information, why don’t you try to copy it? I believe in our Shenzhou’s reverse technology and reverse engineering.]

【Lu Zuguang: The full name of GT robot is... Gourmet Telexistence... It means that it can ignore the distance and can far surpass the communication technology of controlling robots in any corner of the food industry. It is difficult to master it in a short time with incomplete information.】

【Then... it is the neural synchronization technology of vision, smell and other senses. 】

[There is also biomechanical fusion technology, gourmet cell energy power core, weapon system... To be honest, there is a huge gap and generation gap between the technological system of our Blue Star and the gourmet world's "Gourmet Club"! ]

【Xia An: You are quite knowledgeable. 】

[Lu Zuguang: (Little Bear spreads his hands.jpg) Many people want to own a GT robot, including me. Wearing a neural synchronization helmet is like having an external incarnation.]

[However, although there are no GT robots, I recently heard that we have made some breakthroughs in reverse research on food technology, and some mass-produced exploration robot dogs are ready to be equipped for food hunters from China. ]

at the same time.

imperial capital.

Lu Zuguang took off his chef's uniform, left the kitchen of the State Guesthouse, and came to the former site of the Imperial Kitchen in the Forbidden City.

In the new era, the former site of the Imperial Kitchen has become the headquarters of the Shenzhou Gourmet Association.

The old man of the Lu family is a master of state banquets. He has a very high status in the headquarters and has a room of his own.

“Grandpa, it’s like this…” Lu Zuguang approached the old man from the Lu family who was wearing reading glasses and squinting to look up information.

"Did Boss Xia really ask about 'GT Robot'?"

The old man from the Lu family was surprised, then smiled kindly:
"Yes, at the rate he's improving, he'll be able to visit the food industry soon."

"In this case, it's normal that there is a demand for exploration robots."

"Young people have flexible thinking and know how to rely on high technology, unlike us old people..."

Lu Zuguang quickly interrupted, not letting the old man ramble on about the past, and said, "Then is there any way to equip Boss Xia with the 'exploratory robot dog' that the association and Yushu Technology have jointly produced?"

The old man from the Lu family smiled:
"These robot dogs are meant to be equipped to every Chinese chef who wants to explore the world of food."

"We had a meeting a while ago, and the old guys all said that these technological products can not only increase the survival rate of Shenzhou chefs, but also greatly increase exploration efficiency!"

"Well, let's do this... I'll approve your documents, you go and collect them, and the fees will be deducted from my account."

Lu Zuguang hesitated and said, “What about mine, Grandpa?”

The old man of the Lu family had already lowered his head to review the documents, and said calmly without even looking up:
"You should be promoted to special grade first."

Lu Zuguang: “…Uh, OK!”

I could only take the documents and leave in a depressed mood.

After a while.

After personally delivering the items to the association's transport warehouse and seeing the staff packing them, Lu Zuguang felt relieved. He took out his cell phone and informed Xia An of the good news.

[Lu Zuguang: Boss Xia, the association's robot dog will probably be airlifted to Neon Airport in the evening.]

[It is not convenient to hand over this item to Neon Food Agency for transportation, so you need to go to the airport to pick it up in person, or ask a reliable person to pick it up. 】

In response to this, Xia An, who received the good news, said he could understand.

Apparently, this mechanical dog is a new confidential product and has not yet been officially deployed to Chinese food hunters.

We can't let the spies intercept us.

At the same time, Xia An couldn't help but complain about the so-called IGO international food organization that is governed by various countries today.

The Blue Star Federation? That doesn't exist. There is only a rough framework of the Gourmet Association of Various Countries. To put it in a more classic way, it is just a larger makeshift team.

But even though this makeshift IGO team was not from the original work, it at least had some effect and did some practical work.

Develop the igo app, integrate elite chefs from various countries, and circulate food illustrations around the world...

【Xia An: Thank you.】

[If possible, please help me arrange a medium-to-large drone that can airdrop the robot dog. ]

[Lu Zuguang: This is simple. China’s drone technology is leading the world. We don’t need large drones. Some professional medium-sized drones can carry robot dogs and drop them into designated areas.]

Xia An wanted to get both the drone and the robot dog as quickly as possible.

With the help of Lu Zuguang, the famous chef of the State Guesthouse, it is easy to buy a professional drone with a load capacity of dozens of kilograms.

Then I thought about it again.

He sent a message asking Meng Yulu to help him arrange a local driver.

He planned to pick up the goods in person.

Anyway, the finals day was on Monday, and with two days free, he might as well pick up the goods and go back to Nakiri's house. The environment was more private and he wouldn't have to worry about unwanted prying eyes. He also had a group of [Colored Hairtail] he was raising there, so he could go back and observe them.

About six o'clock in the evening.

Tokyo, Haneda Airport.

After receiving the goods, Xia An flipped through the user manual that the association's specialist solemnly handed to him.

"This special model of robot dog was jointly developed and manufactured by the Shenzhou Gourmet Association and Yushu Technology. Each person has a unique number and is bound to their identity information."

"Components include: motor, remote control, robotic arm, eye binocular camera, weapon module including bullets..."

Xia An rubbed his eyebrows and was secretly shocked.

As expected of a special model for elite chefs and gourmet hunters, it actually has very sensitive weapon modules and bullet supplies?
Although there is no reverse engineering to produce the sci-fi modules of the original [GT Robot] such as bionic claws, energy cannons, and high-frequency vibration blades.

But ordinary thermal weapons can at least provide some sense of security.

He flipped through the pages and soon his eyes lit up:
"There are paralysis bombs, incapacitating bombs, poison mist, and flamethrowers?"

Tsk.

At this time, we have to thank Rabbit for his usual fear of insufficient firepower. At least now, Xia An feels doubly safe.

The sisters at the Nakiri house were not disturbed.

Only Mr. Nakiri knew about Xia An's return.

He quietly returned to his courtyard and assembled the exploratory robot dog by himself with the help of manuals and video materials.

As for the professional medium-sized drone, after charging the battery, Xia An locked himself in the professional kitchen of the Nakiri family's house, and with a thought, he sent the two technological products to the food world.

Volcanic island!

It was just getting dark in the Blue Star world, but it was just getting light here.

On the beach, one could already see the entire tribe of Taros picking up the gifts from the ocean, and the sounds of monkeys could be heard everywhere.

After hearing the news, Silverback approached flatteringly.

Xia An glanced at this intelligent King Kong, pushed the joystick of the remote control upwards, and the professional drone with the robot dog mounted on it took off with a "buzzing" sound.

Different from the consumer version of civilian drones purchased online.

The two large items this time cannot be used as battlefield consumables, especially the exploratory robot dog that was activated and used with complicated steps not long ago. If it explodes, you will never get a second one in a short time.

therefore.

Xia An simply took the most cautious approach and flew the professional drone to an almost maximum altitude to avoid possible attacks by flying beasts.

After arriving at the location.

The drone descended and released the mounted robot dog when it approached the ground.

"boom!"

As the robot dog with four wheels on its feet, which could walk on any terrain as if it were on flat ground, landed safely, Xia An's heart trembled violently.

"Start moving the goods..."

Xia An picked up another remote control.

This remote control is similar to a game controller, with left and right joysticks, L1/L2, R1/R2 and some small keys.

On the remote control screen, a wide-angle image equivalent to the "field of view" captured by the robot dog's binocular camera has appeared.

Xia An first pushed the joystick repeatedly in the open terrain near the stone house. After gradually getting used to the operating feel of the robot dog, he focused his eyes and let the robot dog walk on all fours into the stone house.

Tap the keys lightly.

The installed robotic arm rose up smoothly and steadily put the books and notes on the tool table into the alloy basket on the back one by one!

Moving goods!

Moving goods!

After a while, the table was empty and there was nothing left.

Xia An suppressed his excitement, zoomed in the robot dog's binocular camera, and aimed it at the kitchen knives on the wall shelves.

The alloy basket is almost full of books, with only a limited amount of space left, and limited size and length.

Xia An quickly locked onto a few short kitchen blades that were still incredibly sharp.

The robotic arm is not long enough?

It doesn't matter…

Xia An clicked the [Jump] button on the remote control.

The robot dog with many books on its body still jumped more than half a meter high nimbly, and its robotic arm grabbed the kitchen knife on the shelf!
laugh!
The operations were not coordinated and not synchronized enough.

The kitchen knife fell to the ground...

Then, the blade seemed to pierce into a piece of tofu.

Only a small piece of the handle remained on the ground.

? ?
Xia An carefully controlled the mechanical arm, picked up the dagger-like kitchen blade and held it tightly.

"That's all for now..." Xia An tried hard to look away and didn't dare to add any more kitchen knives. With such frightening sharpness, he couldn't feel at ease with the kitchen knives in the alloy basket. Even the slightest bump or vibration would probably leave a gap in the basket.

then.

The robot dog went back outside and after a few tries, the drone was successfully mounted.

When the drone returns.

Xia An's heart was pounding as he picked up one of the notebooks in the alloy basket.

《Personal food material illustration collection》

Tang Meijun, author…

The first page is a handwritten table of contents:

Golden Wheat (Pages 2-5)
Gem Rice (Pages 5-10)
Thundering Onion (pages 11-18)
……

After a quick read, I found that they were all ingredients that grew lushly in the fields near the cottage and were not taken care of. "Golden wheat? This is a fantasy ingredient that Senior Dojima Gin has mastered perfectly. Senior Tang Meijun should have studied it thoroughly as well."

As he spoke, Xia An opened the information page of [Golden Wheat].

①Appearance and description:

The wheat ears are golden yellow all over, the grains are full and emit a faint golden light.

The size of a single wheat kernel is more than 10 times that of ordinary wheat.

When ripe, the entire wheat field will form a "golden wave", and even cause local weather anomalies, such as the sudden appearance of golden clouds on a sunny day.

②Growth conditions:
It can only grow in extreme environments, such as volcanic ash soil and cracks in extremely cold ice sheets.

Or absorb special energies, such as the "gourmet cell" energy in the earth veins.

The growth cycle is extremely short, taking only 3 days from sowing to maturity, but it requires a lot of nutrients and may devour the vitality of the surrounding land.

"No wonder the crater ranch can grow large tracts of 'golden wheat'. It turns out that the fertile fields and land there are very suitable for growing 'golden wheat'."

Xia An suddenly realized, but his brows gradually frowned:
"It requires a lot of nutrients? It consumes the life force of the land?"

"But when I looked down from the drone, the soil in those fields still looked very fertile."

"And the 'golden wheat' in the field is all healthy, not a single one is withered or dead!"

This means that there are some magical features of those fields that he has not discovered, or that Senior Tang Meijun made special arrangements and buried something in the ground, so that the soil has not become barren for such a long time.

Xia An continued to read patiently.

③Nutritional value and cell energy:

The resulting flour has a naturally sweet flavor and rises into a fluffy dough without the need for fermentation.

The energy of one grain of wheat is equivalent to 100 kilograms of ordinary wheat, and it is rich in active ingredients of the [Strong] sequence in "Gourmet Cells".

Awakening [Strong] greatly improves the Sequencer's physical strength and recovery ability.

"Hey, so the gourmet cell sequence contained in 'Golden Wheat' is called [Strength]?"

Xia An was interested and read carefully the analysis of this sequence by senior Tang Meijun.

From Sequence 9, that is, the Black Iron level sequencer.

To the Grandmaster level of Sequence 1.

A comment from Senior Tang Meijun about the Grandmaster-level [Strong] Sequencer made Xia An's heart beat fast:

"The health bar is unfathomable, can he be called an indestructible cockroach?"

Wonderful.

The ability to survive is extremely strong.

Not only does the stamina bar have an infinite amount of energy, it also comes with a permanent health recovery buff.

……

④Cooking Guide and Recipes:

The answer-level recipe for pastry - "Golden Bread" will produce a "happy hallucination" after eating, allowing diners to temporarily forget the pain and even heal mild mental trauma.

Answer-level recipe for beverages - "Golden Beer"... Drinking it can stimulate the potential of the human body, but excessive consumption will lead to "golden drunkenness".

hiss!
Xia An's hands trembled.

After this column of information, there is a complete answer-level recipe.

"This, this, this..." Xia An was amazed at the ambition of this senior. Other families would have kept the recipe as a family heirloom, but she just casually wrote it in a notebook and let later explorers of the island read it.

Perhaps, in the eyes of Senior Tang Meijun, the answer-level recipe that makes all the top chefs crazy and eager is already at her fingertips.

It was the first time that Xia An felt the gap in rank and pattern so intuitively.

This is the talented chef Lin who dominated the world in that era!

Notes down.

There are also points 5 and 6, which are so detailed that it makes Xia An's scalp tingle.

"Traditional farm tools are extremely inefficient. I suggest you use the reinforced sickle made by the grinder to harvest wheat ears?"

"Be especially careful when you find a wild 'golden wheat field', because there may be level 60 'earth vein worms' under the land? Or there may be swarms of 'golden wheat bees'?"

Seeing this, Xia An's mouth twitched slightly, and he seriously doubted the food illustrations information in the igo application.

wipe.

You call this 10 catch level ingredients?

If there were a gourmet hunter who really explored according to this illustration and discovered a wild golden wheat field, he would definitely fall into the mouth of the guardian creature.

As expected, the igo illustrated guide is equivalent to popular science and literacy. It is the most basic and superficial information and should never be trusted!
At this time.

Xia An felt that the notes in his hand were very heavy, of great significance and of extraordinary value.

The text on the panel suddenly appeared in the field of vision:
['Golden Wheat' illustration research progress increased to 60%]

[The current limit has been reached! ]

[The host needs to personally use 'Golden Wheat' to cook a delicious meal before he can continue to improve the progress of the illustrated book research! ]

Xia An muttered in his heart:
"Wow, if this wasn't a panel limitation, I suspect that after reading the 'Golden Wheat' section thoroughly, the progress of the ingredient encyclopedia could be directly reached over 90%!"

There is no doubt that this is the violent rice-filling method from a talented chef.

The true teachings are directly passed on to individuals, without keeping any of the family assets for oneself and giving them away.

Xia An's eyes were complicated.

The words left behind by Senior Tang Meijun may not be without the intention of leaving behind knowledge and heritage.

So even though I jumped to another gourmet cell sequence, crossing the ocean was not a sure thing. I just didn't know whether Senior Tang Meijun had finally escaped from this dragon trap and successfully returned to the land of the gourmet world...

"Fortunately, I have the God of Cooking panel, so I am not afraid of this isolated island dilemma at all."

"On the contrary, I want to keep the island firmly under my control. It would be nice to be the island owner for a while."

Hehe, when [World Gate] is upgraded from Lv.1 to Lv.2 and the second coordinate slot is unlocked, he can be teleported to another place in minutes.

call!
Xia An closed the notebook with great perseverance and difficulty.

Too much to chew.

Just the knowledge about [Golden Wheat] was enough for him to digest for a while.

When it comes to cooking, knowledge ultimately has to be put into practical cooking.

No matter how powerful the theoretical and paper knowledge is, it has to be put on the plate and expressed.

therefore.

Xia An didn't hesitate.

I started purchasing [Golden Wheat] in igo mall, preparing to devote myself to the practical stage and completely integrate the knowledge in the notes into my cooking skills.

Although I didn't complete the task assigned by the association, I did not get the 1,000 points as a reward for snatching the Dragon-Turning Pot, which was suspected to be a divine artifact.

But Xia An now doesn't lack these thousand points at all.

At the igo market.

The perfectly prepared [Chicken with Potatoes, Carrots and Onions] has been stopped, and the final bid was 6150 points and was won by an anonymous person.

Just wait for the food to be delivered, and the 6150 points for this transaction will be credited to your account.

of course!

What made Xia An's pocket points suddenly rich was the exploration on the isolated island.

Even the area where he actually searched for food was limited to the habitat of the Tara Vajra tribe.

But if he sold all the ingredients he got to IGO agency based on net weight, he would get at least 3,000 points.

And this is the wealth gained by Xia An who deliberately controls and never sells gold-grade ingredients above level 10.

In other words, he had no intention of picking the golden-grade plant ingredients, but kept them as strategic reserve resources, in case they might be used in a food battle or competition.

Moreover, Xia An did not raid and plunder bronze and silver grade ingredients like devils entering a village.

He is a man who is going to be the owner of the island, so he knows the principle of taking things slow and steady.

Cut down the fruit trees.

Dig up the rhizomes.

All the fish fry were caught.

Isn't this going to lead to the extinction of your family line? No way!
……

Xia An made a one-time move to stockpile fantasy ingredients.

Soon, officials from the IGO agency in Neon District came to the door and took away the fresh-keeping boxes one by one.

These points were quickly used by Xia An's department to purchase [Golden Wheat], and the second group of official personnel soon arrived at the Nakiri residence.

Main house hall.

Nakiri Munee and Leonora were also waiting for an IGO staff member to come.

"Mr. Nakiri, ma'am."

"These are the ingredients you won in the auction. Please check them."

The couple excitedly carried the food boxes away and did not notice the subtle and embarrassed expression of the IGO staff member.

After a while, Nakiri Soe strode back and signed in front of the IGO staff, completing the transaction.

At the same time, a bill for a deduction of 6150 points also popped up on Nakiri Soe's igo app.

"Mr. Nakiri..."

The igo staff member hesitated to speak, and suddenly bowed deeply: "Well, please give us a five-star rating for our service."

Nakiri Soe nodded, picked up the box of ingredients and prepared to rush back to the private laboratory at home.

Suddenly, the eldest son of the Nakiri family stopped.

In front.

An old man in samurai clothes with his arms folded stood on the corridor where Nakiri Munee was passing.

Nakiri Munee discovered.

The usually cheerful old father looked at him with a strange expression, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"??"

Nakiri Munee always felt like he was possessed by evil spirits today. Why did everyone's eyes and expressions look like this:

"Father, what's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, please speak frankly!"

"cough……"

Nakiri Senzaemon's tone seemed to be trying to hold back a laugh:

"Zong Wei, the IGO worker who just delivered the goods to you actually just came out of Boss Xia's yard."

Nakiri Munee didn't understand at first.

琢磨了几秒钟。

My eyes widened suddenly:

"Clam?"
