The biochemical stock solution is as thick as paste, and the taste is extremely disgusting. Zhang Mu suppressed the feeling of vomiting and swallowed it. As a result, his stomach spasmed violently, and waves of overwhelming feelings came one after another. This intense nausea lasted for at least ten seconds, just when it was about to disappear. It was like igniting gasoline in the stomach. Instead, an extremely strong burning sensation spread from the center of the abdomen to the limbs and bones. At first, it seemed that all the internal organs were on fire. The pain was beyond ordinary people's imagination, but as it spread faster and faster, The burning sensation was gradually and evenly dispersed.
Zhang Mu's skin turned red, and his head and face were covered with sweat. The biochemical liquid began to take effect. The success or failure of strengthening all depended on luck.
"1%, 25%... 50%... 90%..."
Zhang Mu lay on the bed and breathed slowly. The burning sensation covered his entire body from head to toe, as if his whole body was being steamed in a steamer. When the progress reaches 100%, the feeling of heat and heat disappears in the blink of an eye.
"Strengthening successful! Strength +1! Constitution +1!"
Zhang Mu was angry, and finally it was not wasted. Although the attribute growth is not much, it is a permanent growth after all, so the benefits are permanent. It is precisely because of this that the price of biochemical raw liquid is very expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it. Zhang Mu rested for a few minutes and drank the second bottle of biochemical liquid. As a result, the agility +1 effect appeared. The third bottle of biochemical liquid directly failed to strengthen. On the fourth bottle, the strengthening failed again.
For this type of item that permanently increases attributes, the more times it is strengthened, the weaker the effect will be and the higher the failure rate will be. After the biochemical stock solution was successfully strengthened twice, the third and fourth times failed. Zhang Mu did not want to waste the precious biochemical stock solution, so he put the remaining bottles into the public warehouse, added a note, and marked the price at 60 Mercenary points.
Zhang Mu finished taking a cold shower and put on his casual clothes. As soon as he opened the door, Black Claw greeted him excitedly, his dark golden eyes shimmering in the dark night.
"Ouch!"
"Stop arguing, I know what you are thinking."
Zhang Mu took out a beast crystal and threw it to it. Black Claw swallowed the beast crystal into his stomach, patted his belly with satisfaction, and lay down under the tree to continue taking a nap. The enhancement effect of E-level beast crystals on elite battle beasts is very obvious. After Black Claw completely digested a beast crystal, its blood volume increased from 1000 to 1080 points, and various attributes also increased a lot.
According to previous experience, if an elite war beast swallows 10 beast crystals, it is enough to grow into a boss-level monster. Zhang Mu doesn't have enough beast crystals in his hand, and E-level beast crystals can only be obtained from boss-level monsters. The boss-level monsters are near the Dawn Camp. Although they are not too difficult to find, they are quite difficult to kill.
Zhang Mu walked out of the yard, and it became dark outside. It was around 20 o'clock in the evening. Shuguang Camp had long been closed, and players were no longer allowed to enter or go out. Except for the arena and the library, there seemed to be no place to go.
"There's still a place to go!"
Because the population has greatly increased, Shuguang Tavern's business is good. The number of people present is several times that of last night, and the tavern is filled with the aroma of wine and meat. However, Zhang Mu was not here to eat. When he walked around the kitchen of the tavern, two robot soldiers stopped him at the entrance.
"Warrior, this is the kitchen, no intrusion is allowed!"
The emotionless voice of the robot soldier sounded.
"I'm a chef, and I'm here to work as a part-time worker!"
The robot soldier seemed to recognize Zhang Mu's identity. After checking that it was correct, he stepped away and Zhang Mu walked into the kitchen. As the only official tavern in the camp, Dawn Tavern is very large. The kitchen alone is as wide as half the corridor of the house. The chef, wearing a chef's hat and covered in oil, was busy back and forth in the kitchen, cooking five or six portions of food at the same time. Whenever the food was about to be ready, he would use a cooking technique on them to improve the quality of the food.
The chef was tinkering with the kitchen utensils. When he heard someone coming in, he glanced over and said, "So it's you? Why, do you have time to work part-time?"
"Yes, I want to make some money and increase my familiarity with cooking." Zhang Mu said bluntly: "Do you need any help?"
The chef pointed to the back of the kitchen: "I'm too lazy to deal with the garbage ingredients over there, so you can just cook them as you like. As long as you make more than 10 servings of food within an hour, you'll be paid 30 gold coins. Of course, the things in the kitchen Not allowed to be taken out."
Several bamboo baskets were filled with palm-sized dead fish, surrounded by other ingredients and magic ingredients, and various tools were also available. In fact, working for Shuguang Tavern can only earn a few gold coins. Zhang Mu came here to improve his cooking skills. There are a lot of ingredients available in the Dawn Tavern. As long as the magic is enough, he can keep doing it.
[Stale fathead fish], F-grade ingredient.
Zhang Mu picked up a fish from the bamboo basket. The fish was completely black and had a very big head. Zhang Mu took out his chef's knife and touched it lightly. The fish was broken into pieces and the scales and internal organs were all removed.
When the chef saw Chef Ding's knife, he looked slightly surprised: "It's a good knife!"
Cooking has the highest degree of freedom among production occupations. Because the degree of freedom is extremely high, talent is crucial to achieve success. The food cooked is not only affected by the cooking skill level, but also by the techniques and techniques. Even if a master chef loses his magic, he can still become the world's top chef when he returns to Earth!
Zhang Mu began to prepare the ingredients, chopping green onions, slicing ginger, some crushed garlic, and two tablespoons of soy sauce. A few spoons of cooking wine and sesame oil, plus an appropriate amount of salt and MSG.
The chef touched his chin and said, "Braised fish?"
These are ready-made magic seasonings, which are sold in department stores. Zhang Mu applied salt and cooking wine on the back of the fish, and injected magical power through cooking techniques to allow the fish to fully absorb the salt and cooking wine. Then, the oil was heated to 70% hot, and the fish was fried. Remove when slightly yellow and set aside for later use. Leave about one ounce of oil in the pot, heat it to 40% heat, lower the heat to low and stir-fry the ginger slices, garlic slices, and green onions until they are fragrant. When the heat is about the same, pour the soup into the fish plate. Just take it out of the dish and add some flavor to the whole dish. After performing a cooking technique, the light flowed from the hands into the plate, penetrated into the fish meat and the soup, and finally gradually blended. The entire plate of fish suddenly flashed with light, and then completely dimmed...
Zhang Mu showed joy: "It was successful, and my level has improved a bit."
[Braised Fathead Fish], F-grade food, restores 25 points of life and 15 points of magic.
The chef was very satisfied with Zhang Mu's performance: "It can be seen that you have learned some skills!"
Zhang Mu has been more mature and independent than ordinary people since he was a child, so he learned how to take care of himself early. Braised fish is one of his best dishes, and he often cooks it for his younger sister at home. The method of magic cooking is different from conventional cooking, but Zhang Mu has obtained the cookbook and already knows the cooking techniques, so he can complete it easily.
This qualitative change of making F-grade ingredients into F-grade food does not happen every time. It has a certain probability of being triggered. Of course, this is for Zhang Mu. Chefs like Chef can make F-grade food from F- ingredients even if they do it with their eyes closed.
The chef brought a pair of chopsticks and tasted the braised fish made by Zhang Mu himself, "The magic processing is too unfamiliar, otherwise the attributes would be higher. But for an entry-level chef, it is amazing to do this!"
"Tip: The chef's favorability is +30, and the current favorability is 50. The relationship has changed: normal → friendly!"
The favorability level has increased again!
Zhang Mu was secretly happy.
The chef patted his round belly and said: "This kind of introductory magic cooking is difficult to break away from the limitations of traditional cooking. Now I am going to demonstrate the cooking skills to let you know what real magic cooking is! I haven't been here for many years." If you are lucky enough to see your cooking skills performed in front of others, don’t blink!”
"Yes, thank you chef!" This must be good for Zhang Mu.
"Get out of the way!"
The chef stood up with a big belly, his eyes swept over the fish and various ingredients in the bamboo basket, nodded, and raised his hands directly four or five meters away from the bamboo basket. An invisible force was released from the chef's body, and a basket full of more than a dozen fish floated into the air.
Various kitchen utensils in the chef's robotic arm flew into the air, and various kitchen knives shot out in unison, just like the legendary swordsmanship. Countless cold lights flashed through the air. Zhang Mu didn't even see what was going on. Remove the gills, remove the scales, disembowel... More than a dozen fathead fish were cleaned in three seconds, and a burst of fish scales fell down like rain, "Ah!"
The chef shouted, raised his hand and pointed at the kitchen counter. A dozen pans seemed to be attracted by magnets, and all of them separated from the kitchen counter and floated into the air. The fathead fish fell into the pan, then rotated around the chef, and the bottom of the pot ignited. The blazing magic flame, sesame oil, and cooking wine poured in at the same time, and various condiments flew in one after another, like a burst of sand and dust blown by the wind, entering evenly. There was a crackling sound in the pot, the food was being stir-fried automatically, and the tempting aroma filled the kitchen.
"Prepare the plates!"
Zhang Mu immediately placed the plates on the table.
The chef pressed and raised his hand, shouting: "Go!", the pot shook violently, and more than ten fish were thrown out together with the soup. The fish fell into the plate first, and the hot soup and ingredients were poured down. It was spread perfectly on the fish and not even a drop of it leaked out, which is simply a miracle!
This is not over yet!
The chef's fingers shine, and magical power is injected into the braised fish one after another.
[Perfect Braised Fathead Fish], F+ grade food, restores 35 points of life and 25 points of magic.
Is this an expert magic chef
Zhang Mu was stunned. From beginning to end, the chef did not touch the food or kitchen utensils. He processed more than a dozen dishes at the same time and completed them in less than 5 minutes. After the ingredients turned into food, the grade was improved by two levels! When I saw the chef cooking, a strange feeling came over me, and I gained a deeper understanding of magical cooking.
[Tip: Cooking proficiency +200!]
Zhang Mu couldn't help but get excited when he heard the prompt.
Does this also increase proficiency
The chef seemed to have done something trivial: "How do you feel?"
"so amazing!"
"Try it!"
Zhang Mu tasted it for a few bites. Not to mention the attributes, the taste was also excellent. Under the influence of magic power, the fish meat and the soup were perfectly intertwined, and the performance was reached to the extreme!
The chef was very proud of Zhang Mu's expression: "In the entire Shuguang camp, there has never been anyone better than me in cooking skills!" He patted Zhang Mu on the shoulder: "Boy, although your skills are terrible, you have some potential for development. Work hard, humans are very intelligent, you may surpass me in the future!"
Zhang Mu smiled slightly and was noncommittal. In fact, in his opinion, cooking was a dispensable side job, as long as he could get by in a so-so way. He is a warrior and will not devote his energy to his life and career.
The chef saw Zhang Mu's thoughts and said very displeasedly: "Don't you look down on the cook?" He snorted: "I tell you, Shuguang Camp is a small place. As long as humans survive, sooner or later they will have to venture further afield. Don’t think that being a cook can only serve people. Magical chefs with good skills will be popular no matter where they go! With good cooking skills, it will be much easier to make friends with neutral tribes and get more mission opportunities!”
Zhang Mu said quickly: "Thank you, chef, for your advice. I'll remember it."
The chef took out a dark pan from his back, "You are a cook and you don't even have a pan. It's so outrageous! This chef used it when I was young, and now I give it to you!"
[Black Iron Cauldron], an EE-level magic pot, cooking speed +50%, consuming 1 point of magic every 10 seconds.
