The crystal-clear crucian carp swung its tail violently in the clear water, and the splashing water droplets looked like shattered gold under the warm kitchen light.

Beneath its shimmering scales lay plump, firm flesh that seemed about to burst out. Each movement it made exuded an undeniable power, forcing its normally sized companions to cling tightly to the side of the basin, too afraid to move.

Qin Ming's eyebrows furrowed even more. In his memory, the Crystal Spirit Carp was slender and elegant, and when it swam, it was like smoke and illusion. It was a rare treasure that combined beauty and spirituality.

It's definitely not this...fat, muscular fish that's practically screaming "delicious"!

What must it have been fed to grow up like this?

Beside the stove, Master Liu, a veteran with ancestral skills, had an expression of unprecedented blankness and confusion.

He had processed thousands upon thousands of spiritual materials, but the scene before him was truly beyond his capabilities.

He looked at the plump fish that dominated the center of the basin, full of vitality, and then at the few ordinary crucian carp that looked particularly delicate and pitiful in comparison. He remained silent for a long time.

It would be one thing if it were just bloated, but this fish... it's ridiculously strong, it looks like it's all fresh meat.

"Ugh! Ugh!"

Little Fatty slammed his heavy claws against the rim of the basin, his head held high, his voice full of pride, "Boss! Aren't you taking good care of the turtles? One is as good as two! They're so filling!"

Qin Ming took a deep breath and forcibly swallowed back the retort that was about to come out. He told himself:

We should respect Xiaopang's hard work and see beyond the surface to the essence!

Although this fish has an unusually distorted appearance, it contains an exceptionally rich spiritual energy. Didn't you see the surrounding spirit beasts staring wide-eyed, their throats bobbing incessantly?

He was still too fixated on appearances; he closed his eyes, unable to bear looking any longer.

"Master Liu," Qin Ming said with difficulty, "thank you for your trouble."

Master Liu nodded silently, then with a flick of his wrist, used a specially made landing net to scoop up the lively, plump fish.

The fish tail swung vigorously in the air, creating a deep, resonant sound in the wind.

He used a special technique to remove the fine fish bones inside the fish without damaging its appearance, demonstrating his exceptional skill.

When hot oil meets fresh meat, a loud "sizzle" is heard, and a rich, exotic aroma explodes out.

It didn't feel like frying fish; it was more like the explosion of some divine essence, its fresh and domineering aroma sweeping through the entire space, even condensing into a faint, tempting white mist.

All eyes, including those of the spirit beasts, were involuntarily drawn to the large pot. Master Liu clenched his teeth, his veins bulging.

To prevent the spiritual energy from leaking out, the spirit fish cannot be divided into sections. Only Master Liu himself knows how heavy the pot in his hand is.

Except for Master Liu, everyone and every beast had their reason overwhelmed by the domineering aroma.

Even the elegant phoenix couldn't help but stretch its neck, its beautiful feathers trembling slightly, its eyes fixed on the fish meat in the pot that was gradually turning golden.

Little Fatty was so anxious that he kept spinning around in place, scratching the floor with his paws.

When the enormous platter overflowing with fragrant fish was served, everyone fell into a brief silence.

Master Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead, his expression a complex mix of pride and pain. He felt honored to be able to handle such a rare treasure, yet he also rubbed his aching back in agony.

"Master Liu, please have a bite."

Looking at Master Liu, whose face was covered in sweat, Qin Ming couldn't bear it and said...

It's customary for chefs to taste their own dishes. Although the ingredients are precious and visibly extraordinary, Chef Liu's culinary skills are truly unique.

There will be many more troubles to come, so we need to offer some incentives to avoid scaring people away.

Upon hearing this, Master Liu didn't refuse. He picked up a piece with his chopsticks, hesitated, and put it into his mouth.

The next second, his eyes widened suddenly, and all the complexity on his face was replaced by shock.

Good chefs all have a good palate, capable of tasting twice as much deliciousness as the average person, instantly overwhelming their taste buds and senses!

Upon seeing this, Qin Ming also took a bite, his pupils dilated slightly, and he was speechless.

The incredibly tender and bouncy texture almost dances joyfully between your teeth, a powerful and pure essence mixed with an indescribable freshness that gently yet forcefully washes over every corner of your body.

Delicious! This goes beyond just food!

This taste, this spiritual energy... completely overturned his previous understanding.

Qin Ming quickly shared a large piece with the great contributor, Little Fatty, followed by Keda, Cangxuan, and Xiaobao.

The fish looked quite heavy, but with Little Fatty's bottomless appetite by his side, it was no problem at all.

After a few bites, a faint glassy sheen appeared on Little Fatty's body, and the patterns on its shell seemed to become clearer.

Keda squinted his eyes as he ate, his body shimmering with light.

Cang Xuan remained silent, but his aura seemed to have become more restrained and mellow.

Xiao Bao was so excited that he kept shouting.

Coming to his senses, Qin Ming quickly grabbed the last bite and packed it up to take to Huo Lin.

He deliberately didn't bring Huo Lin today, afraid that the two foodies would fight, but it would be a shame not to share something so good.

"Little Fatty, you're the one!" Qin Ming gave a thumbs up and affirmed.

"Turtle Brother, you're amazing!" Keda flapped his wings at the chubby boy.

"Impressive!" Cang Xuan said succinctly, but his eyes showed high approval.

"Eek!" Xiao Bao cheered excitedly.

The barrage of praise from all around confused the little fat boy, leaving him unsure which way to extend his paws.

Qin Ming couldn't stand the praise anymore. He glanced over and noticed that the auras of the spirit beasts had clearly become stronger.

He checked again and again in disbelief, and his heart skipped a beat—it wasn't his imagination!

They actually got promoted one level!

Even Master Liu, who had just taken a bite, had a rosy complexion and seemed much more energetic.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the last bit of food in the takeout box in his hand, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

Perhaps this Glazed Spirit Carp really does have a deep connection with Little Fatty, just when Qin Ming was about to be disappointed.

A row of semi-transparent, slightly antique-looking small characters slowly emerged on the leftover soup:

A rare treasure blessed by a newly born world

By chance, they encountered an opportunity for the world to advance and transform, and followed the strong will of the world's ruler.

Through scientific breeding, it has mutated to its peak in terms of "ultimate deliciousness and spiritual energy conversion efficiency".

Its pure essence and life force are easily absorbed, with the best results from the first consumption!

Qin Ming stared at the few lines of small print, speechless for a long time.

A world transformation? The will of the world's ruler?

Little Fatty's aquaculture business is just beginning to show its potential; is it already this impressive...?

So, how many dogs does Little Fatty actually raise? Has it reached a considerable scale? Does he need to provide further sponsorship?

Qin Ming silently and carefully wrapped up the last piece of fish, his greed and conscience locked in a struggle:

Huo Lin, he really saved this for you, he's so kind!

Next time, it's hard to say...it depends on how Little Fatty performs...
