"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

About half an hour later, Ma Hongjun, dressed as a food deliveryman, finally returned, panting heavily, flying low into the air. He then turned to Chen Hong, who was inside constantly sampling Oscar's various new Soul Skill-based dishes, and said, "Brother Chen, you have no idea how much faster my delivery speed has become since you added that [map] function!"

The [Map] function is a new feature developed by Chen Hong after he added the Bone Spirit [Earth] to the Soto spiritual network system. Now that [Radiance] is back, [Earth] has returned to its original role and only needs to be responsible for the [Map] function.

With the blessing of the Bone Spirit [Earth] and the visual mental power characteristics of the Battle Soul Instrument goggles, Ma Hongjun was able to see his own position directly through the goggles and activate automatic navigation.

"You guys are really quick-witted," Chen Hong muttered to Ma Hongjun and the other man as he savored the various soul-power pastries Oscar had personally made for him.

For the past six months, Chen Hong has spent almost all his time in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley and Martial Soul City. Every time he returns to Soto City, it's just to collect crops, and he rarely pays attention to the subtle changes in the city.

Chen Hong initially paid little attention to the food delivery industry, which arose with the Sotho spirit network. After all, he had limited energy, limited time, and his mind was completely occupied by various long-term projects at hand.

The Soto Spirit Network makes communication among residents easier, but going online is a very mentally taxing activity. The more you go online, the less you want to go out, but if you don't go out, you can't enjoy the wide variety of goods available in Soto.

Thus, driven by these internal and external forces, and with the support of Count Chen Lin of Soto, online shopping began to develop slowly.

【Huang】 has a great deal of autonomy, and Chen Hong has also delegated many functional programming tasks to 【Huang】. Therefore, after discovering the huge potential of the online shopping industry, Chen Lin took the initiative to approach 【Huang】, requesting that 【Huang】 create a personal messaging platform for an 'online shop'. (Except for accompanying Chen Hong on a business trip for three or four days, 【Huang】 spent the rest of the time in Soto City.)

[Huang] lived up to expectations and quickly completed Chen Lin's request without Chen Hong's knowledge. It wasn't until Chen Hong later had time to check the Soto network that he discovered it had an online shopping function. It was then that Chen Hong discovered [Oscar Soul Power Hotel], which led to this "hotel visit".

"I only launched the map feature a month or two ago, and you guys have already turned it into a food delivery map."

Sometimes, Chen Hong can't help but marvel at how respecting biodiversity makes the world so vibrant and diverse.

"Hehe." Inside the restaurant, Oscar, dressed in a clean chef's uniform, was carefully using his soul power to condense a pretty little cake. Hearing this, he chuckled and then placed the little cake in front of Chen Hong, saying, "Brother Chen, why don't you try this? It's a newly designed dessert."

Seeing this, Chen Hong picked up a small spoon, gently poked the edge of the small cake, and then took a small bite with the spoon.

"Hmm, if you taste it carefully, you can still detect a meaty flavor. But overall, it already has other flavors such as sweet and sour. I said before that you are the most insightful among the seven of you." Chen Hong tasted it carefully, savoring the cake and cream slowly melting in his mouth, the sweet and sour taste blooming on his tongue, and finally turning into a pure soul energy that went down his stomach and was absorbed by the cells in his body.

Food Soul Masters is a field that Chen Hong cares about very much, but he has always hesitated to study in depth due to various concerns.

On a small scale, Food Soul Masters create things out of thin air; on a larger scale, they master the technology of 'energy conversion'.

Yes, energy conversion. In Chen Hong's eyes, food soul masters convert their soul power into various bio-energies needed by living organisms. This is destined to be a bottomless pit of research. Chen Hong currently has no confidence to start this research because once it starts, the time and money he invests will be immeasurable.

Of course, Chen Hong also had a better method in mind, which was to abandon the inherent concepts of technological civilization, directly cultivate a powerful food soul master, and then transform this food soul master into a soul master. In that case, Chen Hong would soon be able to interpret 'energy conversion' from another perspective.

"One of you is using food delivery to hone your flying skills, and the other is running a restaurant to cultivate your spirit rings. So far, it seems to be working quite well."

Chen Hong nodded, expressing his approval of Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

At the same time, Chen Hong also shared his thoughts: "Oscar, your soul skills have begun to break free from limitations. Right now, you can only simulate the form, but I believe that it won't be long before you're able to touch the realm of intent. At that time, I have a feeling that your martial soul might, very possibly, undergo a slight change."

Chen Hong's viewpoint is based on the unusual changes that occurred in Ye Lingling.

All the soul skills granted by the Nine Heart Begonia's soul rings are the same. By reasoning backwards, we can deduce that the Nine Heart Begonia's healing skill is an innate skill of the martial soul, rather than something granted by the soul rings.

As a result, when Ye Lingling broke the physical limitations of her soul skill, her soul ring instantly lost its limiting effect and became a power source. The Nine Heart Begonia directly regained its power and demonstrated the power of her innate soul skill.

Similarly, Chen Hong's deduction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda should also have some special points. However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda may have the opposite logic to the Nine Heart Begonia's soul ring. We will need to analyze this further based on the data provided by Ning Rongrong.

Chen Hong has only vaguely sensed that soul skills are a reflection of the martial soul's origin.

Oscar's sausage spirit felt different to Chen Hong than the Nine Heart Begonia and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

All of Oscar's soul skills resemble various sausages, making him somewhat similar to the Nine-Hearted Begonia. His soul skills mirrored Oscar's martial soul origin, yet it was understood that martial souls are unstable entities capable of mutation and evolution.

Therefore, if Oscar's various soul skills were to break free from the "sausage" restriction and become all sorts of strange foods, would the changes in the soul skills, in turn, affect the martial soul itself?

The fact that sausages possess soul skills at least demonstrates that the concept of form and meaning of sausages is still very important to martial souls.

Of course, Chen Hong was not sure whether Oscar could complete the mutation. After all, as he said, it was "extremely unlikely." Clearly, Chen Hong maintained a cautious and conservative attitude towards Oscar's mutation.

But one thing is certain: Oscar should be the first among the Shrek Seven Devils to reach the realm of artistic conception.
