Chapter 183: Chapter 105 Sub-profession System: Spirit Chef (10,000 characters, requesting monthly ticket)

Colorful Mist Coast.

At the edge of the sky, a pale light begins to emerge, while the night has not yet completely faded.

The rising gold and the night intertwine, casting a gradient hue over the surface of the sea.

Behind the coast in the rainforest, a player is crouched on the ground, carefully observing a fiery red flower.

The flower looks simple and unadorned, with slightly curled petals that have delicate serrated edges, and a golden-yellow stamen at the center, emanating a faint fragrance.

After carefully observing and taking a screenshot, Qin Kong picks a thumb-sized petal and chews it in his mouth.

During the meticulous tasting, a strong spicy sensation instantly blooms on the tip of his tongue, as if countless tiny flames are jumping in his mouth, causing him to frown tightly yet unable to resist the urge to continue experiencing that unique thrill.

"Not bad, not bad."

Once the spicy sensation subsides, Qin Kong calls up the forum function and enters his personal page.

It shows two posts still being edited and not yet released.

Qin Kong uses his consciousness to select the first post and clicks to enter and start editing the content.

Although incomplete, the post already records a plethora of plant information.

...

Record saved, Qin Kong closes the forum function, casually picks the Flame Flower from the ground and tosses it into the Space Bag.

He plans to grind it into chili powder when he has time.

After stretching lazily on the spot, Qin Kong steps towards the coast.

This is his 31st day in the game.

As a veteran player, before experiencing the game content of Dark Land, he originally planned his growth route as a combat path.

Which is the PVE mode chosen by the majority of players.

But after experiencing the game content, his thoughts gradually changed.

He found the realism of the game could be described as perfect, and the unlimited freedom allows choosing any way to experience the game content.

Combat growth path, fishing growth path, weaponry development path, scenic exploration path, gene development path, etc., different players can find game modes suitable for themselves in this game.

This also gave Qin Kong an idea.

His identity in the real world is a chef.

This profession, once incredibly popular in history, has become very rare today.

With rapid technological advancement and deep integration of artificial intelligence, human society has entered an unprecedented era of widespread intelligent living.

In this era, AI technology not only reshaped industries, medical, education, and other sectors, but also changed the everyday lives of humans.

One of the biggest changes is the large-scale replacement of traditional jobs by AI robots, including the culinary profession undergoing intelligent transformation.

For food safety, production efficiency, among other considerations, AI replacing manual labor is an inevitable trend of the times.

Perhaps early intelligent robots could not meet the personalized needs of humans for food and had many unsolvable issues.

But after the advent of the Star Network Era, powerful data processing capabilities revolutionized AI robots.

All AI robots can undergo deep learning via specific professional databases, and with upgrades in advanced sensor technology, AI robots can precisely simulate and optimize various cooking techniques, from ingredient identification, cutting, seasoning to heat control—every procedure can surpass the precision and efficiency of professional chefs.

And customers can also provide optimization directions for AI upgrades through scoring reviews after each meal.
