My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 55: Map of the Mansion of Master Guan

"You explored the body of the Dirty Meat Fairy and found some unusual things on it."

"Eternal Spirit Knife (Excellent Item), the kitchen knife used by the Dirty Meat Immortal. Every apprentice in the Imperial Kitchen will be given an Eternal Spirit Knife after graduation. Ingredients cut with this knife can retain the freshness of the food to the greatest extent. Even if no processing is done, the ingredients will not deteriorate within seven days."

"The Dirty Meat Fairy's Apron (Common Item). The Dirty Meat Fairy's cowhide apron. When worn, it can slightly resist attacks from sharp weapons. It can be used as a common upgrade material."

"Red Embroidered Lady's bellyband (common item). Although Dirty Meat Fairy is not good-looking, she is a good cook, which attracted the favor of Red Embroidered Lady. After a night of love, Red Embroidered Lady left her underwear to Dirty Meat Fairy as a souvenir, which can be used as a special upgrade material."

"The stomach of a bloated ghost (common item). This is the organ left behind by a bloated ghost after death. This ghost looks like an ordinary person, but it has no idea of ​​hunger or fullness. It can eat hundreds of kilograms of food in one meal. The stomach can be used as a material to upgrade the storage bag."

"The fragments of the recipe of the imperial kitchen (ordinary props). The recipe circulated in the imperial kitchen originally contained 108 delicacies, but for some unknown reason, it is now incomplete. After practicing it, it can slightly improve one's cooking skills."

"Do you want to use this recipe fragment immediately?"

Seeing the options provided by the game, Jiang Xinghuo also became interested. Without giving it too much thought, he directly chose to use it. After all, it is always good to have more skills.

The next moment, a tingling sensation like an electric shock spread throughout the body.

Various cooking techniques, knife skills, and heat, as well as a series of related reactions and memories, all appeared in his mind, as if he had really learned and practiced for many years.

"Your cooking skills have improved slightly."

"You have mastered the basics of cooking."

"However, although you understand how to make the dishes in the imperial kitchen, your cooking skills are still low and you cannot perfectly reproduce the real imperial meals."

"If you have the chance in the future, you can go to Beiping City. The Imperial Kitchen regularly holds kitchen events where famous chefs from all over the world gather together. This may help improve your vision and cooking skills."

"Your current cooking skill level: C-."

"Note: There are three levels of cooking skills: A, B, and C. Each level is further divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. The higher your cooking level, the higher your status in the food world."

As for the game text of Dirty Meat Fairy, there is no further progress here.

Next, Jiang Xinghuo controlled the game character and walked around the buffet for a while, trying to see if he could trigger other plots.

"You lingered near the buffet."

"I saw quite a few diners feasting on the food. Some of them had their limbs eaten, some had their internal organs eaten, and some had only their heads left, with their mouths constantly opening and closing..."

"These diners are like possessed people, constantly shoveling food into their mouths until the very last moment, when they have eaten it all up."

Jiang Xinghuo felt a chill. It turned out that the ingredients for this buffet were all brought by the diners themselves. It really was a great way to make the best use of them.

"You were wandering around a buffet when you were suddenly bitten by a poisonous centipede. You felt a tingling sensation in the wound and blackness began to appear in front of your eyes."

"Your health is decreasing..."

"Your immunity to all poisons is taking effect."

"You have removed the toxin from the centipede poison."

Centipede Gu?
When Jiang Xinghuo saw the prompt that suddenly popped up in the game, he was stunned and didn’t understand what was going on.

"You were attacked by the little butcher."

"The little butcher, the only son of the Dirty Meat Fairy, was sent to Nanyang to learn skills when he was young. Not only is he proficient in Nanyang cuisine, he also knows how to poison people."

"The butcher was surprised to see that you had removed the centipede poison. He immediately took out his own poisonous jar and tried to control the poisonous insects inside to continue attacking you." "What are you going to do next? Are you going to turn around and leave here? Or are you going to fight the butcher's insects head-on?"

Jiang Xinghuo was too lazy to drag it on any longer, so he chose the latter and confronted the little butcher head-on.

"The poisonous insects attacked you, but you didn't want to waste any more time here, so you used the dead tree revival technique. The power of vigorous vitality was the nemesis of these poisonous insects."

"You have killed the centipede, incense +50."

"You have killed the Toad Gu, incense +50."

"You have killed the Heart-Eroding Gu, incense +100."

"You used the Little Five Thunder Technique again."

"The little butcher had no power to resist at all. He was soon engulfed by the brilliant lightning and turned into a piece of lifeless charcoal."

"Do you choose to touch the corpse?"

Jiang Xinghuo controlled the character to explore the corpse and found that the butcher's family background was much richer than his father's.

"You have obtained a Gu-raising pot."

"The Gu-raising Bowl (common item) is a tool used by Gu Masters in Nanyang to raise Gu insects. It is nothing special. It is just a very common tool that can be found everywhere in the streets and alleys of Nanyang. You don't even need incense to buy one. You can buy one for two dollars."

"You have obtained a cat poison egg (excellent)."

"There is a special kind of Gu worm among the myriad Gu in the South Sea. Although it is a Gu worm, it looks like a black cat, so it is also called a cat ghost. It is connected to the blood and heart of its owner and has extraordinary intelligence. The means of Gu are hard to guard against. Once entangled by a cat ghost, the body and heart will feel a stabbing pain like a needle. Gradually, the entangled person will vomit blood and die, and there is no cure."

"You obtained a Nightmare Wooden Man (Excellent)."

"A common prop in the art of curse. As long as you write the date of birth of a person on it, you can curse the target. The solution is also simple. You just need to burn the wooden man."

"You have been given a brass key."

"This is the key to the front door of the Dirty Meat Fairy's house. It lives in Luoguxiang, not far away. You might go there and take a look. You might find something unexpected."

Jiang Xinghuo wandered around the buffet for a while, and made sure there were no follow-up tasks and missing props before controlling the character to go to Luoguxiang.

“You have come to Luoguxiang.”

"In a dark and damp alley, you found a blood-stained water armor soldier, who had wrapped his body in paper armor and curled up in a corner, not knowing whether he was dead or alive."

"Are you willing to go over and treat it?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't think much and chose to treat the patient directly.

This is obviously a new plot branch. If you choose to reject it, you will definitely miss a lot of important things.

"You stepped forward and helped the water soldier up, and used the dead wood to heal him. The water soldier slowly opened his eyes and understood the cause and effect of the matter. He was very grateful to you."

"You asked why it appeared here. The Water Armor Soldier said that it came from Jiangnan. It accidentally entered the mansion of Master Guan and discovered a secret, so it was hunted down by Master Guan. If it weren't for you, it would have died a very miserable death."

"As he spoke, the water armor soldier took out something from his arms and said that this was the secret of the coffin master. He still had to go to Beiping City to perform official duties, so this thing would be a thank-you gift to you."

"You have obtained the map of Master Coffin's mansion."
