At the first level, donât expect to find any great masters. Even at the ninth rank of the first level, itâs just an unrefined Shadowless Kick thatâs somewhat impressive.â Su Hang pondered for a moment and did not choose to have the system search for virtual warriors. After all, he was only at the first level; what kind of powerful warrior could 100 energy points extract?
It would be better to wait until he reached the second level. At the second level, he could extract the specialties of martial students, and the options would be much wider than they were now.
Immediately, Su Hang brought up all the character information he had scanned in recent days. Many had already been extracted and could not be extracted again. As for those that had not been extracted, most were abilities of little value. After flipping through them, Su Hang's gaze fell on one particular character information.
---
Name: Cai Jiuxia.
Age: 43.
Realm: None.
Extractable Specialties:
Cooking (Special Level 2)
Extract and Refine? [Yes] [No]
---
This was scanned from Cai Jiuxia a long time ago. Because cooking was a side skill for Su Hang, he hadnât paid much attention to it. Tomorrow, he would be going home, and Su Hang thought about cooking a meal for the elders to show his filial piety.
âItâs this one.â
Without any hesitation, he directly chose Yes. However, what made Su Hang feel frustrated was that due to insufficient energy points, he could only extract but not refine. An action that could have been completed in one step now required him to extract the specialty first and then refine it once the energy points were restored. Although the result would be the same, it was more troublesome.
This issue needed to be studied and resolved in the future. Su Hang shook his head but didnât worry too much about it. Special Level 2 cooking should be enough, after all, his ideal wasnât to become a chef.
âExtraction successful! Energy points -100, Credits +10!â
As a series of prompts sounded, Su Hang didnât have time to be happy about the upgrade. A large amount of cooking information flooded his mind, and he immediately froze.
Cooking is the art of the kitchen, the art of the chef, the art of cooking, and the art of enjoying life. From small pots, bowls, ladles, and basins to large kitchen cabinets; every seasoning, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, chili, Sichuan pepper, and so on, each item is a work of art in the eyes of a chef.
From knife skills to heat control, the methods of stir-frying countless dishes to cooking techniques, a large amount of cooking knowledge appeared in Su Hangâs mind and was quickly absorbed and digested by his brain.
It would take a considerable amount of time to digest all this information. Su Hang lay down on the bed, pulled the blanket over himself, and slowly integrated the cooking information in his sleep.
In his dream, Su Hang turned into a somewhat familiar handsome young man, starting from chopping vegetables in a small restaurant, gradually striving and growing, and eventually becoming the head chef of a well-known hotel. The handsome young man eventually turned into a plump, well-fed man.
This person was none other than Cai Jiuxia. What Su Hang experienced in his dream was Cai Jiuxiaâs life, of course, focusing on his culinary skills.
âCock-a-doodle-doo!â
In the early morning, a rooster from someoneâs house in the neighborhood crowed loudly, waking Su Hang from his deep sleep.
Upon waking up, his mind was filled with a lot of cooking knowledge. Cai Jiuxia was most skilled in Sichuan cuisine, although he had studied other cuisines, his expertise was highest in Sichuan cuisine.
At Special Level 2, his cooking skills were already considered mid-to-high level in the country. In a place like Rongcheng, he could probably earn a monthly salary of several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan working in a good hotel.
The most crucial part was that after extracting Cai Jiuxiaâs cooking specialty, Su Hang had an unexpected gainâa secret sauce recipe.
Whether the recipe was passed down from Cai Jiuxiaâs ancestors or obtained through other means, Su Hang couldnât know and didnât care. However, from the information he obtained, Cai Jiuxia valued this sauce recipe greatly, and its value was clearly not low.
Suddenly gaining so much cooking knowledge, Su Hang felt like an old chef who hadnât touched pots and pans for years, itching to get into the kitchen and cook.
However, there were no ingredients in the kitchen, and he still had to return to his hometown today, so Su Hang dismissed the idea. He pulled up the system and checked his attribute information.
---
Name: Su Hang
Age: 23
Level: 2
Realm: First Rank
Energy Points: 8
Credits: 0/1000
---
Reaching Level 2, his realm also automatically advanced to the First Rank of Martial Student. With a light clench of his fist, he could feel his strength was significantly greater than before. After the upgrade last night, the system automatically enhanced Su Hangâs body. The physical strength of a Martial Student was naturally incomparable to that of a Martial Disciple.
Reaching Level 2, the energy point limit increased from 100 to 1000, which relieved Su Hang. Refining the hyper-speed engine required 800 manufacturing points, and he had been worried that the Level 2 limit wouldnât reach 800 points. Now, he could rest easy, though he only had 8 energy points at the moment. He would have to wait until he returned from his hometown to try it. Anyway, he wasnât in a hurry, as long as he could get ahead of Qian Feng.
âWhat is this upgrade gift?â Su Hang thought, and a red paper-wrapped, festive-looking package appeared in his hand.
It was a square box, about the size of a shoebox, with a red wrapping that looked very festive. It was a bit heavy, probably around four or five pounds.
This was the upgrade gift the system gave him after he advanced from Level 1 to Level 2. According to the systemâs information, every time he upgraded, the system would give a gift. The gift could be very good or very bad, all depending on luck.
With the information about the upgrade gift, Su Hang couldnât help but feel a bit excited. Getting up early in the morning, his luck should be good, right?
Placing the gift on the table, he nervously opened it, filled with anticipation. Soon, the gift was unwrapped, and a black object appeared before Su Hang.
It looked like a black ceramic bowl, but it didnât quite look like a bowl. It was a bit larger and a bit taller than a regular bowl.
Although old, Su Hang was sure it wasnât an antique. There were no holes or inscriptions on the bowl, and its origin was unknown. However, the material seemed quite hard.
