42: Chapter 42: Is he a Master Chef?

Editor: Henyee Translations “Ye Weiming is still short by 1 point in comprehension, 5 points of aptitude, and 3 levels in the skill ‘Breath Control’ up to the basic requirements for learning the ‘Primordial Arts’.

He hasn’t found a good method to increase his aptitude for now, but his level in ‘Breath Control’ can improve by practicing more, fighting monsters, looting corpses, and burying people.

In terms of comprehension, he’s just 1 point short.

According to the price list in the private school, reading the ‘Hundred Family Surnames’ can increase comprehension by 1 point, and exactly fulfill the cultivation conditions of the ‘Primordial Arts’.

Compared to the hundreds and thousands of famous books that come after, the price of 100 golds can be barely accepted.

However, just because it’s affordable doesn’t mean he can learn it now.

Before that, what he needs to do first is save money, and in the meantime, increase the skill level of ‘Breath Control’!

With a set objective, Ye Weiming exerted an unprecedented level-up enthusiasm.

In the following period, he started to madly sweep through all kinds of wanted tasks.

He often planned the routes ahead, accepted several wanted tasks at once, and then completed them all together.

…

“Splash!”

Ye Weiming pulled his bloodstained bamboo sword out from the heart of a 20 Level BOSS called Liu Xueqiao.

Then, with a swing of his hand, he flicked off the fresh blood sticking to the edge.

Ding!

You have killed the notorious bandit Liu Xueqiao who kidnapped women, and received task rewards: 2000 points of experience, 200 cultivation points and 50 silver.

When the system prompt reached his ears, Ye Weiming had already started looting the body proficiently.

As expected, this BOSS named Liu Xueqiao did not drop any martial arts secrets.

However, she did drop several blue items.

Although none of these were better than his God-Catcher Suit, they were worth some silver in the market.

He could sell them right away when he arrived in Luoyang at Old Wolf’s Blue Fat Equipment Store.

Although that sneaky merchant was detestable, his shop was quite convenient to use.

About ten days ago, Ye Weiming took on a series of bandit extermination tasks from Zhan Zhao who had just resumed work.

The enemies appeared from Bianjing to Luoyang, which could basically form a straight line on the map.

Then, following that line, he went all the way from Bianjing to Luoyang, eliminating three bandit lairs and killing twelve wanted criminals.

However, after spending such a long time in the game, he naturally couldn’t have all the first kills.

Fortunately, these wanted criminals would respawn after being killed, so he didn’t have to worry about not being able to complete the mission.

Among the three bandit lairs he wiped out, two of them had even become instances.

The BOSS loot had significantly shrunk compared to the initial kill, but fortunately, the mission rewards hadn’t shrunk as a result.

After such prolonged fights, Ye Weiming’s power had also improved significantly.

His current level and attributes are …

Every time Ye Weiming saw the intermediate Swordsmanship called “Wandering Dragon Draws the Phoenix” that the Commanding Officer sent him as a mission reward, he couldn’t help wanting to rant wildly.

As a type of Swordsmanship, look at what it boosts?

Defense, accuracy, evasion, deflection…

there isn’t even a tiny bit of attack power boost.

However, the self-protection ability of this Swordsmanship is undeniably strong.

With Ye Weiming’s current attributes, he believes that even if he faces a level 30 BOSS, he would be able to hold his own with this ridiculous Swordsmanship.

As for its offensive power…

well, it’s not a matter of attack strength, when using this Swordsmanship, there is simply no output, okay!?

Because the intermediate Swordsmanship wasn’t effective, Ye Weiming was still using that inferior “Swordsmanship of the Maidens” while completing quests, causing its proficiency to increase rapidly.

It seems that it’s getting closer to the requirement for the ninth level.

Who knows when he can get a high-level or less crappy Swordsmanship?

It doesn’t have to be high-level, intermediate- or even beginner-level is fine too!

He took out a straw mat and deftly gathered Liu Xueqiao’s corpse, obtaining 1 x “Qinggong Insight”.

After using it casually, his proficiency in the “Eight Steps of Rushing Frog” increased by 1200 points.

At this point, dusk was setting in.

After confirming his direction, Ye Weiming activated his fifth level “Eight Steps of Rushing Frog” movement technique and sprinted towards Luoyang City.

The tasks he had accepted earlier were all completed, and he had gained a lot of items.

By dumping all of them into Jiao Tailang’s equipment shop, he would be able to collect around 100 gold to pay for his “Surname Book” tuition fees.

Halfway there, as night neared, Ye Weiming felt hunger in his belly, only to find that his hunger level had reached the 70% warning line.

Wanting to munch on a couple of buns to suppress his hunger, he discovered that the buns bought before leaving Bianjing City had already been finished at noon.

At his current pace, would he be able to reach Luoyang City before he starved to death?

That’s a question!

After a quick calculation, Ye Weiming found that it was a Schrodinger’s cat kind of question.

That is, if he couldn’t solve his food problem soon, there was at least a 50% chance he would starve to death before reaching Luoyang City.

What a miscalculation!

“Howl…”

Just as Ye Weiming was fretting over his hunger, a sudden wolf howl from not far away made his eyes light up.

He rummaged through his bag, replaced his current weapon with a blue-quality refined sword, then directly rushed towards the direction of the howl.

Why did he change swords?

Don’t forget that the bamboo sword was a poison sword.

Any prey killed by it would be toxic and couldn’t be eaten.

The average level of a night wolf is around 17, and Ye Weiming was able to defeat them effortlessly with his current strength.

Ten minutes later, Ye Weiming had already started a bonfire and leisurely roasted the wolf meat.

Twenty minutes later…

Half-cooked roast wolf meat: Quality: Failure, consumption can reduce hunger by 50 points, such consumption reduces health by 1 point per minute for an hour.

This meat is still poisonous!

The outer charred part of the wolf meat was cut off with a sword, and the attributes of the roast wolf meat changed again…

Undercooked roast wolf meat: Quality: 0, consumption can reduce hunger by 20 points.

Although it shrank a lot, at least he didn’t have to worry about food poisoning.

Looking at the ugly masterpiece in his hand, Ye Weiming was about to start eating when he unexpectedly noticed a shabbily dressed little boy not far away from him, who was salivating at the roast meat in his hand.

How could there be a child out here in the wilderness and hills?

The one thing that he could confirm is that the child was an NPC, because there aren’t any children among the star immigrants.

He waved at the boy and Ye Weiming asked with a smile, “Where are your parents?”

“Mama’s gone, Ah-Huang’s also gone, I’m looking for them.” As he said this, the boy’s eyes were still fixed on the roast wolf meat in Ye Weiming’s hand.

Ye Weiming smiled, “Do you want to eat it?”

The boy nodded.

“Here, eat it.”

The boy took the roast wolf meat and wolfed it down.

The piece of roast meat that Ye Weiming himself didn’t even have the heart to bite into was eaten joyfully by the boy.

Looking at the way the boy was eating, Ye Weiming inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment.

He subconsciously asked, “Is it good?”

“Not good.” The boy answered vaguely, then continued to lower his head and eat.

Ye Weiming:…

This child is quite honest, but he couldn’t blame the child, after all, even he wasn’t proud of the grilled food that he had made.

However, for the sake of his pride, Ye Weiming shamelessly retorted: “Actually, we are in the middle of nowhere, so there are no condiments…”.

Before Ye Weiming could finish speaking, the boy had already eaten almost all of the roast meat and interrupted him: “It’s not a matter of condiments, but you didn’t control the heat properly.

When roasting meat, you should never put the meat directly on the fire.

You should wait until the charcoal fire is completely red, and then…”.

Ding!

You received cooking advice from a master chef, your cooking experience increases by 1000 points, and your cooking level rises to level 4.

This boy is a master chef?

“What’s your name, little brother?”
