Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 368 Seeking to Learn and Master Skills


In a sizable courtyard.

Kane and the others were in a large kitchen within the courtyard.

The kitchen spanned at least 300 square meters with a complete range of cooking appliances and stoves. Many of the devices Kane couldn't quite understand their uses and needed to probe with magic power to find out, but it was clear that they were all related to food preparation.

Kreya was already beginning to show off her skills. Yorkson needed to know Kreya's current capability in order to devise a teaching plan.

Kane had previously heard Burton mention his teacher.

Based on the timeline, they must have met during Burton's Silver age.

Judging by Burton's current age, the rat in front of them must be at least 300 years old.

It's somewhat unbelievable; Pure Beastmen have lifespans depending on their type, but generally similar to humans.

Even if some races have lifespans exceeding humans, the difference wouldn't be much.

But Kane could sense that Yorkson's strength wasn't even at the Silver level.

Yet, his constitution felt very robust and healthy just from perception alone; if not for his speaking tone and manner, no one would think of him as an elder.

However, considering Burton can create gold-grade cuisine, Yorkson, being his teacher, cannot be weaker; otherwise, Burton could teach himself, and there would be no need to recommend Kreya here.

Thinking about those cuisines with permanent physique enhancement, Yorkson couldn't possibly know how many he had tried; his physique must have reached an extreme state.

Since Kreya wanted to learn dessert-making techniques first, she was currently making some simple desserts.

While they were supposed to be simple desserts, supported by Yorkson's ingredients, they were all copper-grade magical cuisine no matter how they were made.

Kane idly explored the kitchen, checking out the constructions of the cooking tools.

These cooking tools must have been commissioned from the Mechanical Association, bearing significant marks and their signature energy core technology.

Moreover, their craftsmanship was excellent; most were custom products.

It wasn't long before Kreya finally brought over three fruit cakes.

Distributing them to the three people.

Looking at the fruit cake in front, sensing the magical fluctuations on it, Kane habitually began identifying.

[Sweet Fruit Cake]

[Delicious Food]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes: Permanently enhances constitution upon use]

[Explanation: Made from three types of magic fruits along with gray skin cream, the making technique is exceptionally perfect and mature.]

Seeing no issues in the identification and the making technique being very mature, Kane picked up the cake and took a bite.

A burst of sweetness surged to his heart, causing Kane to eat with content and squint his eyes.

Yorkson, after finishing his cake, couldn't help but glance at Kane and Lilu, then turned to look at Kreya.

Kreya was also a bit nervous, waiting for Yorkson's feedback.

"Your culinary skill is quite impressive; reaching this level at your age can truly be considered genius."

"It shows you have great talent in this area, and your food can already convey your emotions. That's wonderful."

Hearing Yorkson's words, Kreya couldn't help but smile joyfully.

"However, there's one fatal flaw." Yorkson extended a finger, pouring some cold water on Kreya.

"It's that your magic control isn't refined enough."

Saying this, Yorkson went to the place where magic ingredients were stored, took out a magic fruit from inside, and spoke to Kreya.

"Although it's mere cooking, it carries magic attributes, guiding the fusion of magic among ingredients during cooking is an important step.

Just like pharmacists need to harmonize the frequency among various herbs, blacksmiths need to mix the magic of materials, and chefs are the same."

After speaking, Yorkson released a bit of magic power, guiding the magic in the fruit to burst forth. A faint, sweet fragrance of fruit dispersed, and the fruit in his hand mysteriously appeared fresher and sweeter.

Kane and Lilu also released a bit of magic power from their hands, gathering the magic that dispersed from the fruit into the air, placing it at their noses to sniff.

It was magic with a fragrance, something encountered for the first time.

Indeed, no matter the profession, reaching the peak yields extraordinary abilities.

Yorkson noticed Kane and Lilu's actions and spoke to Kreya.

"See, if you can reach half of your husband's and your daughter's level of magic control, you could quickly break through bottlenecks and create gold-grade cuisine."

"Husband?"

"Daughter?"

Kreya and Kane felt baffled hearing Yorkson's terms.

Lilu didn't pay any attention, not even knowing what Yorkson said.

Kreya suddenly reacted, her face turning bright red, waving her hands in a panic.

"No, no, they're just my teammates, not the relationship you're thinking of."

Hearing Kreya's explanation, Yorkson seemed puzzled, then asked with some confusion: "But your cake just now..."

Suddenly thinking of something, Yorkson nodded in realization and said: "Oh, right, you're still young. I understand."

"Sorry, age has caught up with me. I've rarely interacted with youngsters, forgetting such situations. Haha."

Talking, he jovially smiled, acknowledging Kane's secret thumbs up.

Kreya calmed herself for a moment before restoring her composure, though a trace of blush still glowed on her earlobes, revealing her emotions.

"But the intricate control of magic isn't something achieved overnight. Let me teach you other skills which are very practical."

Having said this, Yorkson donned a chef's outfit from the side, grabbed ingredients, and cooking utensils, and began cooking, while explaining key points to the attentive Kreya.

Then followed Yorkson and Kreya continuously making desserts through practice, while Kane and Lilu played along waiting for desserts to appear, and helped Kreya eliminate them.

Not to mention how delighted Lilu was in her heart; she felt like a genius.

The twilight gradually darkened outside.

"Alright, that's it for today. Your culinary skills are quite solid, and you've learned the key points of dessert making technique. It's mainly about practicing magic control in daily life."

After stating this, Yorkson took off his chef outfit, hanging it beside.

"Next time, if there's anything else you want to learn, feel free to come find me. Teaching a quick-learning genius culinary skills is truly enjoyable, you're very welcome to come again."

With that, Yorkson sent Kane and the others to the door, waving goodbye.

Inside Kreya's food space equipment at this moment were numerous magical fruits, which Yorkson had given her for practicing magic control.

Walking along the return path, Kreya took a fruit resembling an apple form in her hand and continuously stimulated it with magic power, then handed it to Kane and Lilu beside her.

Kane and Lilu, having eaten desserts all day, continued eating fruits as they walked.

"The fruits stimulated by Kreya's magic are indeed sweet, the sweetness almost drilling into my heart, just like the cake today."

Kane said while eating, blinking at Kreya's gaze.

"Really? Why doesn't Lilu feel the same, the taste is just like the fruit earlier?" Lilu also said after hearing Kane, biting her fruit again, puzzled.

Hearing Lilu, Kane smiled and then said: "Oh, maybe Kreya customized it especially for me!"

Hearing Kane, Lilu flapped her wings flying to Kreya's shoulder asking: "Really, Kreya? Why not make Lilu's fruit sweeter too?"

Hearing Lilu, Kreya's earlobes turned red again, tightly clenching her fist before giving a playful Kane a punch.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Passing Kane, she stepped forward quickly with Lilu.

Watching Kreya, Kane smiled and chased after her.

"Wait for me!"
