Hunger is very scary. For players after level 10, if they don't eat for most of the day, they will feel overwhelmingly hungry, completely suppressing all other desires. If food is not replenished for a long time, people will gradually become weak, resulting in negative effects such as magic not being able to recover automatically, wound healing speed being greatly slowed down, and the four attributes being reduced. If you don't eat for three days, your combat effectiveness will be reduced by more than half. If you don't eat for seven days, your experience will be lost and you may even lose your level. In particularly severe cases, your life will be in danger.
Dawn Tavern is the only place in the camp that officially provides magical food, and its popularity is no less popular than the arena and department stores. As long as you can afford it, you can eat the best food in the entire camp.
The tavern is right next to the square. It has a unique location and is three stories high. A faded wooden sign hangs at the door with the words "Shuguang Tavern" written on it, indicating that it is open 24 hours a day. When Zhang Mu entered, the lights in the tavern were bright and most of the seats were empty, but there were also a few tables of people sitting, including people from the Huangquan Mercenary Group.
Among them, a girl at the table near the door saw it first and exclaimed: "Ah, it's the group leader!"
Zhang Mu looked over and saw someone he knew, Su Qian.
Su Yuan and the other men and women heard the voice and immediately stood up nervously: "Captain, why are you here too?"
Du Rongrong waved her little fist and said dissatisfied: "Hey, what are you talking about! Can't we come to eat?"
"Ah, no...that's not what I meant."
Zhang Mu patted Du Rongrong on the head, waved his hand and said, "You can do whatever you want, eat and drink as you should, don't worry about this guy."
Not far away there was a table full of people, who were senior members of the Huang family, but Huang Tian and his son were not among them. The food was richer than the others, but it was only a relative term. It was nothing more than a few more dishes and a few bottles of wine. It's not a luxury. There is no way, the consumption in the tavern is too high. At this stage, the gold coins should be spent in a valuable way, and save as much as possible.
"Dear guest." A small mechanical guy came over and handed the menu: "What do you want to order?"
Zhang Mu glanced at the menu. The prices were not cheap. He pointed at two of them, "One golden steak per person, and two bottles of Roma fruit wine. I want a seat by the window."
"Okay." The mechanical guy replied: "The golden steak is 15 gold coins per portion, and the Roma fruit wine is 15 gold coins per bottle, for a total of 105 gold coins."
Leng Yun couldn't help but said: "Why is it so expensive!"
"Of course it's expensive to eat out. We don't come here often anyway, so it doesn't matter if we spend money once in a while."
Zhang Mu handed over 105 gold coins. Since he was doing it near the door, the food and wine were served soon. Golden steak is an F-level food, and Roma wine is an F-level drink, which is just the lowest level of magic food. Based on his experience, Zhang Mu deliberately selected food that was relatively cheap and tasted reasonably good from F-grade items.
The steak is a huge piece, weighing at least two kilograms. The surface is sprinkled with black pepper, finely chopped onions, garlic, and chilies, and is poured with a layer of brown soup. The oil on the bottom of the plate is still sizzling due to overheating, and the alluring aroma is intoxicating. With his index finger moving, he didn't care about the expensive food and wine.
Du Rongrong was a child of a wealthy family and often visited high-end Western restaurants, so she quickly got into the mood, took the napkin handed by the robot and put it on her body, then picked up the brand new sterling silver tableware and skillfully cut off a piece of meat with a knife and fork. . Unexpectedly, the meat was extremely soft and it was cut without any effort. The outside of the steak was brown, but the inside was tender red, with gravy oozing faintly.
"I want to eat it!" Du Rongrong inserted a large piece of meat into her mouth and said vaguely, "It's so delicious. This is obviously just F-grade food. I guess the ingredients are not that good. Why is it better than the one made of wood? Is the barbecue delicious?"
Zhang Mu opened a bottle of wine and poured it for several people, "That's for sure. How can my entry-level cooking skills be qualified to compare with the chefs at Shuguang Tavern? In my opinion, this chef's cooking skills are at least as good as those of an expert." class!"
Expert-level cooking skills are quite advanced. With the same ingredients and the same cooking methods, expert-level cooking skills give attributes that are more than double those of entry-level ones. Moreover, entry-level cooking skills can process up to E-level foods, and expert-level cooking skills can process up to B-level foods.
"Boy, you are really good at talking, quack quack..." An unpleasant and harsh voice came from the back of the tavern, and a fat man walked out from behind: "I dare not say anything else. In terms of cooking skills, there is no one in the entire Shuguang area. Above me. Golden beef is originally an F- ingredient, but in my hands, it can become an F-level and delicious food, quack quack... "
Du Rongrong was so frightened that she almost spat out the meat, "Who is it?"
Everyone's hearts suddenly trembled, and Xie couldn't help but hold down the knife in his sleeve.
Give birth to... cyborgs!
This man is bigger than Cook, very fat, wearing a dirty chef's scarf and a chef's hat. His big head is divided into two parts, half a metal head, half a normal head. Most of the body is mechanized, and the left arm is mechanical. It was stuffed with bottles and cans, and it held a large pan in its hand. The mechanical right arm was like a kitchen utensil display stand, with kitchen utensils of all sizes, and it held a kitchen knife in its hand.
Everyone showed fear. Most of the biochemical humans were extremely powerful, and no one wanted to provoke them.
"Who are you?"
"Me? I'm the owner and chef of Shuguang Tavern! I like others to call me Iron Chef. You can just call me chef!" The cyborg grinned, and its ugly face was as scary as it could be. , the red electronic eye blinked, staring at the steak in Zhang Mu's bowl and said, "Boy, you are a bit smart. You actually know the level of my cooking skills without even tasting it! There is something to be made of, there is something to be made of. !”
Zhang Mu quickly said to him: "I don't dare to take it. It's just good luck that I hit the right spot." But in his heart, he was thinking that in his previous life, he came to the tavern every once in a while to eat. If he didn't even know your cooking level, it would be a waste of time. .
At this time, the system prompts: "Iron Chef's favorability +25, the current favorability is 25, the relationship has changed: neutral → normal."
The chef laughed and said, "Has your kid also learned cooking?"
Zhang Mu said politely: "I know a little bit about it, it's just an entry-level level. I'm not elegant and I'll make the chef laugh!"
Leng Yun looked at Zhang Mu strangely. Everyone was afraid of the biochemical tribe, but Zhang Mu talked to the chef without changing his expression. He didn't know what his intentions were.
The chef nodded with satisfaction: "Interesting human being, you are the first human cook I have ever seen. Since we are destined, I will give you a task!"
Zhang Mu was overjoyed.
The biochemical race is similar to the mechanical race, and they are also NPCs, but the biochemical race is an NPC with emotional abilities. Each biochemical family has the ability to issue tasks to players. The tasks in their hands are usually limited and will not be issued easily. They can only be triggered if certain conditions are met. For example, take the mysterious businessman. No one knows what race he is. However, because Zhang Mu met the triggering conditions, the mysterious businessman gave Zhang Mu a task.
Zhang Mu had long known that the chef in the tavern had a mission to trigger, but the chef was usually elusive and would not show up under normal circumstances. This time he came just to try his luck. Unexpectedly, he actually bumped into the chef and was lucky enough to trigger the mission.
The chef said: "I heard that the mushrooms on the Spore Plain are particularly delicious, and the mushrooms on the Mushroom King are the best. Can you get one or two?"
Mission triggered!
Mission name: [The best black mushroom]
Nature of the mission: Side mission.
Mission content: Within 3 days, go to the Spore Plains, obtain more than one [Excellent Black Mushroom] and give it to Iron Chef.
Mission difficulty: E-level.
Success reward: Unknown.
Failure penalty: The chef's favorability is -25, and no tasks will be triggered.
"To tell you the truth, chef, I happen to have one on me." Zhang Mu took out two [Excellent Black Mushrooms] dropped by the Mushroom King and handed them over, "When we passed through the Spore Plain, we accidentally met the Mushroom King. These two mushrooms are Dropped from the Mushroom King."
The chef snatched two huge mushrooms, put them in front of his nose and sniffed them, with a happy face: "Okay, okay, they are the best black mushrooms." He put the mushrooms away politely, "You are indeed destined. , I don’t take other people’s things for free, you gave me two mushrooms, I will give you two things as prizes, please accept them!”
[Iron Chef's Cookbook], EE level, records the cooking notes of the expert chef Iron Chef. After learning, you can master Iron Chef's cooking skills and cooking knowledge. Conditions of Use: Entry-level cooking.
[Cooking Improvement Scroll] (Elite Level), a scroll used to advance to elite level cooking skills.
Great value for money!
The items rewarded by the chef cannot be bought with gold coins. Fortunately, the scrolls can be obtained by opening treasure chests. The former is a priceless treasure for a life professional.
Life profession levels are divided into: entry level, elite level, professional level, expert level, master level and grandmaster level. Every step of improvement is extremely difficult. It not only requires diligent study, but also requires enough talent and understanding. An expert chef's cookbook is invaluable. Not only can he quickly improve his cooking proficiency, but it can also give Zhang Mu the experience of an expert chef, so that he can improve his cooking skills with less effort in the future!
Zhang Mu quickly thanked the chef.
The chef said: "Your cooking skills are still too poor. If you want to become an elite chef, come to me again! If you are in a good mood, I will give you a few pointers. What is recorded in this cookbook is just the basics."
"yes!"
"It's not easy to recruit a decent disciple these days. I can go to the tavern to work part-time, and the wages are easy to negotiate." After the chef finished speaking, he turned around and faced the crowd and said, "Also, you humans, listen up, I know you We are very poor now. This chef is here to give you a way to make a fortune. If you learn cooking skills, even if you are an entry-level person, you can work in a tavern. The hourly salary is 30 gold coins. This can be increased according to the price increase, and food is included! Of course, don’t expect to eat well! If you get the ingredients, you can sell them to the tavern at a reasonable price!”
Players in the early stage are generally poor and have three ways to make money: completing tasks, finding jobs, and selling materials.
Dawn Hall will announce some bounty mercenary tasks every day. After completing them, you can get a bounty and increase the points of the mercenary group. As for finding a job, in most cases, you need to learn a life skill. Producing items for the camp can not only improve your proficiency, but also make a little money. In addition, selling materials and equipment is also a good choice. Different stores buy different things. Equipment shops buy used equipment, and department stores buy all kinds of useful sundries. However, the price will be cut very low, so it is better to sell it to other players.
Only the prices for purchasing ingredients at the tavern are quite reasonable! After all, the limit on ingredients is very low. Even if you don’t know how to cook, you can eat it just by grilling it!
After the chef made the announcement, he left with a big belly and a swagger.
Everyone was talking a lot.
Lin Caiyan said in disbelief: "Commander Mu Mu, why does this biochemical man look different?"
Zhang Mu replied: "The biochemical human race is an intelligent race, and not every biochemical human is like Cook. There will be many opportunities to deal with biochemical humans in the future, so be sure to understand it clearly."
Some cyborgs are easy to get along with and can benefit from them, but some are as dangerous as Cook, shooting and killing people even if they don't agree with each other!
