Chapter 187: Chapter 105: Secondary Occupation System: Spirit Chef (10,000 words, asking for monthly ticket)_5

There’s still one last Silver-Tailed Fish to test, and Qin Kong didn’t give up.

Five minutes later, the fish was grilled to a golden brown on both sides. Based on the taste of the fish, he sprinkled three different spices in order, evenly spreading them.

Just as he was about to taste it, he noticed that the spices sprinkled on the surface of the fish rapidly fused with it, causing a faint glow to appear on the surface, which vanished in an instant.

"Uh?"

Just as Qin Kong felt puzzled by this, Challenger Tips suddenly resonated in his mind, as well as in the public channel:

[Challenger Tips (Public Channel): Congratulations Player "AI Chef" on successfully cooking Spirit Food: (Unnamed), awarded 3000 points of sacrificial power (Innovation Achievement Reward).]

[Unnamed (Spirit Food)]

Spirit Food Level: Level 3

Spirit Food Introduction: A meticulously prepared Spirit Food using the relatively rare Silver-Tailed Fish from the ocean as the main ingredient. During the cooking process, it reacts with other spiritual materials, greatly enhancing the spiritual effects and upgrading to level 3 spiritual material.

Eating Effect: Provides 242 points of Body Refining Experience, Water Element Resistance +3 (Permanent attribute enhancement; the more the same Spirit Food is consumed, the weaker the permanent enhancement effect becomes).

...

Qi Sheng watched the entire process of Qin Kong making the Spirit Food from behind the scenes.

The introduction of Spirit Food production was precisely a game feature he wanted to launch.

In the vast lands of Monster World - mountains, rivers, forests, meadows... there are countless ingredients containing spiritual qualities.

These ingredients can naturally nourish the body when consumed directly.

Spirit Food, unlike natural consumption, refers to dishes made by cooking and pairing spiritual materials, similar to how chemicals are mixed in the real world to produce effects far surpassing those of the ingredients alone.

Take, for instance, Qin Kong’s use of three spices with the Silver-Tailed Fish.

The three spices had a miraculous reaction with the Silver-Tailed Fish, where eating it not only greatly increased Body Refining Experience but also added 3 points to permanent Water Element Resistance.

Each type of Spirit Food can have different effects, including temporarily significantly enhancing certain attributes, permanently increasing all attributes, permanently enhancing clarity of perception, healing injuries, among numerous other miraculous effects.

Not even a month after the server launched, he had already considered introducing the production of Spirit Food.

But at the time, players had limited conditions and had not yet developed various new gameplay styles.

Players were either killing Evil Spirits or on their way to kill them, or they were going to mines to dig, making the gameplay quite monotonic.

Also, the output of spiritual materials was very rare at the time.

However, as the Player Corps grew, a series of new gameplay styles began to emerge.

With the expansion of exploring the world, the production of various spiritual materials also increased significantly.

Spirit Fish, Spirit Plant, Spiritual Ore, the Spiritual Material Encyclopedia was updated daily with new content.

Especially after securing the Cloud Field Domain Node, 1000 players gained a 5x5 Spirit Field, allowing for mass production of Spirit Plants.

Qi Sheng had had the idea to introduce Spirit Food at this time.

The launch of this feature could significantly enhance the efficiency of players exploring Monster World.

Spirit Food can be understood as Special Effect Potions, Alchemy Potions, or enhancement items from other games, which when consumed at critical moments can enhance a certain state, allowing players to perform beyond their own abilities in battles and special environments.

Additionally, some Spirit Foods can also bring permanent attribute enhancements.

After Player Qin Kong successfully made the first batch of Spirit Food, Qi Sheng awarded 3000 points of sacrificial power and decided to take the opportunity to launch the Spirit Food production feature.

In a fleeting thought, the Spirit Food functionality, already embedded within the Challenger System, began to operate.

Among the countless characters revolving around Qi Sheng, a section of sealed dim characters was illuminated, entering an active state.

Challenger Tips then rang in the minds of all players:

In the official post’s comment section, the number of comments kept increasing.

Dark Night Will Come:

Holy crap, can a sub-profession even be this cool?

After reading the introduction content of the sub-profession Spirit Chef, I’m a bit stunned.

I’ve been playing games for many years, and I consider myself a super veteran player.
