Chapter 209 – Teleport? Escape

First, it wasn’t a question of if the little girl could eat 200 meat skewers, because even if she could, his time was not enough.

Roasting 100 sticks had used up a lot of Wei Xiao Bei’s time. Moreover, using the skill was not without consumption.

To roast the meat, he needed to pay attention to the fire, flip the sticks at the right timing, placing the right amount of salt, etc.

Wei Xiao Bei felt that the amount of mental consumption in doing all of these tasks was not less than the amount he would use for killing a normal 3-Star Creature.

Although, Wei Xiao Bei had never killed one before, it did not mean that he had never considered it.

He tiredly rubbed his aching eyes and smiled at the little girl.

The little girl’s stomach had rounded out a bit and had just finished eating the last skewer. She satisfyingly patted her stomach while ignoring the yellow handprints on her shirt that were left behind.

“You are not bad.”

The little girl at this moment could truly be called the Ming Lun Envoy. Her childish nature had disappeared, making Wei Xiao Bei suspicious that she might even have a dual personality.

The Ming Lun Envoy looked at him and pointed at the stone card on his chest.

A white light immediately shot out from her fingers and landed on the stone card.

Wei Xiao Bei did not even have a chance to react throughout the process.

Next, the Ming Lun Envoy’s figure turned into a rainbow light and shot towards the sky and into Bai Ta Hill.

Seeing the Ming Lun Envoy leave, Wei Xiao Bei picked up the stone card and used [Status Appraisal].

…

Item Name: Ming Lun Envoy’s Proof

Material: Stone

Description: This proof was created by Bai Ta Shan’s Ming Lun Envoy. It has been slightly blessed by the burning incense of Bai Ta Hill.

Effect 1: Ming Lun’s envoy will know when you approach Bai Ta Hill.

Effect 2: Identification. While in the Dust World, by wishing to go to ‘Bai Ta Hill’, the owner would be teleported to Bai Ta Hill’s surroundings after 10 seconds. The user would not suffer from the barrier around Bai Ta Hill. This effect can only be used three times. Only by paying a price to the Ming Lun Envoy can replenish this ability.

Effect three:? ? ? ? (levels up based on intimacy with the Ming Lun Envoy)

……

When Wei Xiao Bei looked at the second effect, he could not help become happy.

The greatest reward he had received from the Dust World during this time’s visit was not the [Cooking] skill. After all, even if the skill was hard to obtain, he only needed to work harder and he would definitely succeed.

His biggest gain was the Ming Lun Envoy’s Proof’s second effect.

While in the Dust World, as long as he thought about Bai Ta Hill, he would be teleported to Bai Ta Hill’s surroundings without being impeded by the barrier.

In other words, he now had another lifeline.

If he was being pursued by an enemy, as long as he could hide for 10 seconds or defend for 10 seconds, he could teleport to Bai Ta Hill.

Naturally, the only thing Wei Xiao Bei did not like about it was the 10 second activation delay.

He knew that if he met a truly strong enemy, then 10 seconds would probably be enough to have him killed.

Moveover, he could only use it three times.

Although he could replenish it with the Ming Lun Envoy, the price for doing so might not be small.

Despite this, anyone would understand that this teleportation effect could allow for survival even if it had a 10 second activation time.

Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei also had his [Early Warning] ability to tell him of danger.

If he felt that he was about to encounter a calamity, then he could make a decision in advance.

After calculating the time, he understood that he had a bit more left, but not that much. After trying to feel things with his intuition, he gave up on finding monsters to earn any evolution points at the moment.

Soon, Wei Xiao Bei lied down on the meadow and slowly entered into a dream.

His body gradually became transparent and disappear into thin air.

Before Wei Xiao Bei disappeared, a gowned person appeared on a giant rock afar. He looked in his direction and sighed.

…….

After opening his eyes, Wei Xiao Bei felt lively as he surveyed his surroundings.

He was currently lying down on a soft cotton sofa, there was no hole in the television, and the ceiling did not have spots of aging.

The only thing Wei Xiao Bei did not feel comfortable about was the slight smell of formaldehyde pervading in the air.

This could not be helped since the house had only been constructed three months ago. There had been no one living here for those three months, and the doors were shut, so the air did not flow properly, intensifying the smell in the air.

Although the air had circulated a lot when Wei Xiao Bei moved in, the smell was still there.

The worst part of this was Wei Xiao Bei’s acute sense of smell. If he did not pay attention, the smell of formaldehyde would become even stronger.

Wei Xiao Bei sat up from the sofa and looked at the time on his phone. It was already the wee hours of the morning. Seeing that there were no movements in Zhu Xin Yi’s room, he did not have any plans of knocking on it. He picked up the Small Holding Bag and planned to take a look at the Fake Bashe’s Dragonfly Grass.

He did not dare do so in the Dust World after seeing how it attracted monsters when it appeared in Zhang Xuan Shuo’s hand.

He understood that the thing was like a bright light that attracted monsters.

Wei Xiao Bei did not want to become the target of arrows – that was only the act of someone courting death.

Thus he did not dare take it out until he returned to reality.

However, he quickly noticed that he had failed in bringing out the Fake Bashe’s Dragonfly Grass.

This also included the Dang Kang meat and the other things inside.

After contemplating for a while, he gave up on what he was doing. He picked up his phone and looked at the internet for more recipes.

The morning of the next day, Zhu Xin Yi woke up from her sweet dreams. When she opened the door, she immediately smelled something fragrant.

The fragrance came from the kitchen.

Zhu Xin Yi at this moment, was a bit suspicious.

Master knows how to cook?

This was a blind spot in Zhu Xin Yi’s understanding.

She remembered that his master’s mother did not let him in the kitchen. This made her feel that his master did not know how to cook.

This understanding was also not wrong.

Although men and women were equals in current society, there were men with great skills in the kitchen. Especially since national-level chefs were mostly male.

This might even mean that men have an innate ability in the kitchen.

However, in Zhu Xin Yi’s life, she had only rarely met men who were good at cooking.

Thus, her master being a Guo Shu Expert being bad in the kitchen should be a normal thing.

However, today seemed strange.

As she was thinking about this, she had unconsciously walked into the kitchen.

She saw his master’s familiar back as he stood in front of the kitchen stove. Hearing Zhu Xin Yi’s footsteps, Wei Xiao Bei quickly turned around with a bit of flour still on his nose and smiled brightly, “Xin Yi, you’re awake. Quickly go wash your face. Today, you will taste your master’s skills.”

“Oh.”

Zhu Xin Yi looked up with half-asleep eyes and followed Wei Xiao Bei’s instructions. She turned around and walked into the bathroom.

Only after wiping her face with a warm damp towel, did Zhu Xin Yi fully wake up. At the back of her mind, she was thinking that her master was making breakfast with strange ingredients.

Thinking about this, a few images of strange food that she had seen before appeared in her mind – indigo woad root noodles, preserved salted fish eggs in pumpkin soup, or even the most terrifying fried cockroach.

Just thinking about it made Zhu Xin Yi lose her appetite. She had even vomited a bit while she was gargling.

When she walked out of the bathroom, she was still a bit apprehensive.

Although Zhu Xin Yi was not that picky compared to other girls who did not dare eat food from college cafeterias, she was still a girl. If the ingredients were too strange, her heart may not be able to take it.

When she sat at the table, she became relieved.

On the table was deep fried flat bread, soy milk, and different pickled vegetables. Just from the appearance and smell indicated  that they were safe to eat.

When she drank the soy milk, it did not have the slight sour taste from store bought soy milk. She then took a bite out of the deep fried flat bread. The inside had shelled shrimp and beef bits mixed in that complemented each other and the bread. The taste was a lot more stronger than the ones bought from street vendors.

“Master, you are too awesome.”

It could be said that Zhu Xin Yi now had a whole new level of respect for Wei Xiao Bei. She never imagined that a man’s cooking could reach this level of deliciousness. Although it could not compare to chefs in big restaurants, this level was still hard to obtain.

Her admiration was also due to the gap created from Zhu Xin Yi’s image of Wei Xiao Bei.

Wei Xiao Bei smiled and did not say anything else as he continued eating with his head down.

He did not become embarrassed due to Zhu Xin Yi’s praise, but he was thinking how to quickly raise his [Cooking] skill.

While he was in the Dust World, he had a premonition that raising his [Cooking] skill would give him a great pleasant surprise.

From this, he made a decision to quickly increase his [Cooking] skill. Even if he wasted time by not going to the Dust World, he did not hesitate.

However, a problem appeared. Only the deep fried flat bread was considered a fragrant dish.

The fragrant dish requirement had only reached 3/200.

After cooking 10 deep fried flat bread, only 3 were recorded in the requirements.

With this calculation, if he cooked three meals in a day, it would take a long time to reach the full requirement.

Additionally, Wei Xiao Bei could feel that deep fried flat bread and similar things would not increase his comprehension of cooking.

Could it be that I should go accept a cooking job at some restaurant.

After gathering all his choices, Wei Xiao Bei noticed that this may be the only choice if he wanted to quickly raise his [Cooking] skill.
