[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

Kares' body is currently like a burning oil lamp.

He was almost out of fuel, and the enchanted hamburger did not blow out the flame burning in the lamp, but only added more fuel to the lamp, allowing it to burn for a little longer.

Of course, Chao Ke also has a way to completely cure Kares's illness.

That means we should invite Bai Shu over. With plenty of life force available, it seems that Kares's illness won't be a problem for Bai Shu.

Chao Ke's final move, the [Ultimate Crispy Kun Thigh Burger (Enchantment)], changed the atmosphere at the negotiating table.

The tense standoff between the two sides was reversed, and they returned to their initial amicable state.

After his lifespan increased dramatically, Kares felt his mind broadened, and his views on many things changed in an instant.

For example, their attitude towards the Fontaine authorities.

Previously, Kares, knowing his days were numbered, wanted to leave Navia a Rose Society that maintained good relations with the Fontaine government.

But things are different now. Kares has time to groom Navia as his successor, so the relationship with the Fontaine authorities is not as important as before.

At least now, Carles genuinely wants to collaborate with [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant].

Chapter 107 [Advanced Gift Pack (High-Grade Original Chef Level)] and [Eternal Spirit Blade (Modified)] [Bonus Chapter]

[Bonus chapter added to improve the rating from 7.5 to 7.6]

After settling the matters concerning the cooperation in Baisong Town, Carles sent someone to take Chao Ke back to Fontaine by fast boat.

Well, the Clippers didn't sink halfway through the journey.

After reaching the shore, Chao Ke bid farewell to the boatman and thanked him for not sinking the boat.

Back in Fontainebleau.

With Chao Ke's current strength, he doesn't need to worry about many things as much as he did before.

For example, running wildly in Fontainebleau, or leaping and tumbling across buildings in broad daylight.

Chao Ke was indeed no match for Navelette, but Chao Ke wasn't in the courtroom.

Even if Villette is incredibly powerful, can he really control the entire Fontaine?

If he were truly capable of managing it, he would have already arrested all those selling Les and engaging in illegal activities.

As for the cops on the street...

It's questionable whether they can even catch Chao Ke's movements, let alone arrest him.

Chao Ke stopped near the [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] and went into a small alley.

When Chao Ke came out again, he had changed his appearance.

I looked up at the sky; it was evening, but not too late yet.

I'll go to the store to lend a hand and ask the apprentices for their opinions on returning to work at the Grey River branch.

After the busy evening rush hour.

Chao Ke made the three married female apprentices in the shop stay after get off work.

Chao Ke's gaze swept over them one by one as he spoke.

"I have something I'd like to ask for everyone's opinion on."

“I’m planning to open a branch in the Grey River district of Fontainebleau soon, and the Grey River district store needs a kitchen helper. Does anyone have any ideas?”

The three restaurant apprentices first looked at each other, and when no one spoke up first, they began to consider their own situations.

They climbed up from the Grey River district for this job in the sunlight, but now they have to go back underground...

Chao Ke noticed the hesitation on the employees' faces and added.

"The salary for kitchen helpers is much higher than that of current apprentices, and the decoration style of the branch in Grey River District is the same as that of the main store. In addition, a cooperation agreement has been signed with the Rose Association, and the security of the branch is the responsibility of the Rose Association."

Upon hearing Chao Ke's words, the eyes of the three female employees immediately lit up.

Except for one person who was still hesitant, the other two expressed their willingness to return to Grey River District to work as kitchen helpers at the restaurant.

Chao Ke stroked his chin and pondered.

Both employees need to sign up.

"This is troublesome. So, who should I give this only promotion spot to?"

As Chao Ke pondered, his gaze swept unabashedly over the two candidates.

Finally, Chao Ke's gaze settled on the younger married woman.

“This lady…”

"Excuse me, how old is your child this year?"

"Eh?"

Ai Han was taken aback; what Chao Ke said was not what she had expected.

However, Ai Han immediately gave an answer.

My daughter is 4 years old this year.

"That's it."

After learning about the situation, Chao Ke turned his attention to another candidate, "Madam, where are your children?"

My son is 9 years old this year.

"oh, I understand now."

Chao Ke nodded slightly, having already made up his mind.

“Ms. Ai Han, I’ve made my decision. You will be the kitchen helper at the first branch in the Grey River District.”

"After all, your child is still young. If possible, it's better to work closer to home."

Ai Han quickly bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss."

Chao Ke turned his gaze to the other two apprentices and caught a glimpse of regret in their eyes.

So, Chao Ke comforted you, "Don't be discouraged, you two. The expansion plan of [Jia Zi Wei Restaurant] has just begun. As the first batch of restaurant apprentices, as long as you are willing to serve as kitchen helpers, it will definitely be your turn."

After seeing off the three restaurant apprentices, Chao Ke locked the restaurant's main door.

He plopped down in a chair in the restaurant and started thinking about his next plan.

The Grey River branch is mostly done, so it's time to start preparing for the restaurant's renovation.

Chao Ke opened the system interface and quickly started searching.

"There is."

[Restaurant Renovation Package *2]

【Advanced Gift Pack (Premium Original Chef Level)】

Looking at the gift pack given by the system when advancing his chef level, Chao Ke chose to use it.

【Ding! 】

[Advanced Gift Pack (Premium Original Chef Level) successfully used]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained 5 special recipe lottery tickets]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained 8 restaurant decoration packs]

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the legendary kitchen utensil—the Eternal Spirit Knife (Modified)]

【Eternal Spirit Blade (Modified): A culinary artifact from a certain dimension. Using this blade consumes Food Spirit Power to restore stale ingredients to their freshest state. (The amount of Food Spirit Power consumed depends on the ingredient's level and degree of decay.)】

"Wow, this time the advancement gift pack is really generous."

Chao Ke first took out the Eternal Spirit Blade from the system space.

The Yongling Knife looks like an ordinary-looking but extremely useful Chinese cleaver.

Out of curiosity, Chao Ke bought a batch of ingredients from the [Ingredient Supply Section] of the system shop, placed them on the cutting board, and began to try out the Eternal Spirit Knife.

But... it doesn't seem to have made any difference.

That makes sense, since the ingredients provided by the system's [Ingredient Supply Area] are of the highest quality and freshest.

If you really want to try it out, you can't use the ingredients from the [Ingredient Supply Area].

Chapter 108 [Fruitful Immortal Delight]

Chao Ke put away the Eternal Spirit Blade, intending to use the five [Special Recipe Lottery Tickets].

The familiar lottery wheel reappears, displaying various special recipes.

[Fruit Fairy Cheese], [Rapid Strings and Pipes], [Meat-Roasted Mushroom Pizza], [Resistant to Damage (Healing Herbal Potion)]... [Creamy Mushroom Crispy Tart]... [Almond Tofu]... [Mondstadt Grilled Fish]...

Finally, the pointer of the lottery wheel landed on [Almond Tofu], [Rapid Strings], [Resistant Potion (Healing Herbal Potion)], [Fruit Fairy Cheese], and [Super Supreme Pizza] in that order.

[Number of recipes unlocked in the Food Encyclopedia: 69]

[Number of potions unlocked in the Synthetic Potion Encyclopedia: 2]

This time, the special dishes were drawn more evenly, with two story event recipes, two collaboration recipes, and one crafting potion recipe.

"Fruit Fairy Cheese? This recipe could be added to the menu of [Delicious Taste Restaurant] to fill the gap in our drinks."

[Recipe: Fruity Delight]

[Description: A refreshing drink with clean, simple colors. Fruit-flavored yogurt is used to create a smoothie, arranged to resemble blue skies and white clouds. The bottom of the drink is topped with a thick layer of diced fruit and jelly. Its refreshing taste makes it a great choice for cooling down in the summer.]

Now that the recipe has been obtained, you can enter the God of Cookery Trial Grounds to practice this dish.

[Shall we begin practicing?]

【whether】

"Yes!"

A black mist opened up before his eyes, his vision shifted, and when it cleared again, Chao Ke found himself in the Chef God's Trial Arena.

In his previous life, Chao Ke had tasted the [Fruit Immortal Cheese], or rather, the [Linji Immortal Cheese].
