He led him out of the Level One Dungeon and deeper into the Forest Hidden Monster Hunter Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scoreboard could wait. Ao Tenshin couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fewer and fewer players appeared as they walked down the paved road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, they arrived at a restaurant carved into a massive tree. At night, the trunk looked like a huge lantern, light spilling through carved slits, beautiful and eerie at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a handful of players were inside, not as guests, but as workers learning recipes for food buffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overseeing them was a middle-aged man around Rangar’s age. He slapped hands now and then and shouted at every wrong move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin had expected players like that, the kind who wanted something other than combat. He didn’t pay them much attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes stayed on a peculiar dog that kept staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dog looked like a black version of a Golden Retriever, its tail wagging furiously at the sight of Ao Tenshin resting on Martin’s palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that dog a beast?\" Martin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rangar nodded. \"Haha, yeah! His name’s Buracchu, and he’s this restaurant’s co-owner. He’s in charge of finances. If you don’t tip the chef, he’ll stare you down with that adorable face and squeeze out every penny. Haha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buracchu barked as if calling him a liar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chef seemed to recognize that bark. He turned around, noticed Rangar at once, and stepped out from the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tugged off his apron as he called out. \"Shouldn’t you be running around the Light Tree like a fool by now? The scoreboard’s about to lock in, yeah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After just a few steps, he spotted Ao Tenshin too. The little one’s sapphire-sky shell was a clear sign of a prominent beast lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she was in a player’s hands, no less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should be, but I’m still doing my job,\" Rangar said with a chuckle. \"This is Emperoar. He defeated the Baby Kraken and got himself a beast companion. It’s feeding time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pet Bond Quest: First Feeding]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Target: Ao Tenshin (Lv. 1) - Female]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Time Remaining: 00:13:31]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Failure: Quest resets; bond growth stalls.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s huge!\" the chef exclaimed. \"That’s a boss from the Level One Dungeon, right? Not an easy one to take down. If that means we’ll finally get kraken meat from the Light Tree, even better!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin tilted his head. \"Is that how it works? Players defeat monsters in the Light Tree dungeon, and then the tree rewards the academy with resources?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly,\" the chef said. \"I’m Samu. Pleasure’s on my plate to meet you! You didn’t just beat a tough monster. You bonded with a beast too. Come on. I’ll make sure you feed her right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin smiled. \"Thanks. I’m Emperoar, but I guess... I’m Martin for you, Rangar, and of course Buracchu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men nodded with wide smiles, and Buracchu wagged his tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samu brought Martin to the kitchen’s back storage, where all kinds of ingredients sat frozen in neat stacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Species?\" Samu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragon Turtle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samu whistled. \"You got yourself one hell of a huge beast, Martin. She might grow into a small island one day. That’s dragon blood for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured like he was outlining her future size in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her turtle half means a tough shell and natural defenses,\" Samu continued. \"The dragon half needs protein and fat. The turtle half needs calcium.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samu grabbed ingredients quickly. \"Fish, crushed shell, and bone broth. I’ll make your girl feel like she’s devouring a raw beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin could only nod at Samu’s enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samu carried everything back inside and began casting magic. The process was smooth and practiced, pulling the best out of each ingredient without wasting a single motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he set the bowl down, he nodded, satisfied. \"Spring Kitchen: Bonefire Fish Porridge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick, pale broth swirled around strips of fish, glossy with a thin sheen of rendered fat. Crushed shell sparkled across the surface like fine salt, and the steam carried a rich, savory scent with a clean ocean bite and something mineral underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent drew Ao Tenshin out of her shell. Her baby face and sapphire eyes sparkled as she stared at the bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned to Martin, looking up as if asking if it was for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin nodded. \"Yeah. It’s your first meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Tenshin let out a soft squeal and tucked back into her shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, her head popped out again, then the tiny legs too. She was ready to go eat by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin chuckled. \"That was cute. It’s like you went back to put on shoes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Martin started to salivate.I hadn’t expected that in a game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leveling up usually dulled hunger and handled the body’s needs. Still, Ao Tenshin didn’t have that luxury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her little head was already buried in the bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A proper meal every day,\" Samu said. \"That’s how she grows properly. Leveling alone won’t do it. If you try to brute-force it, she’ll gain fewer raw stats than she should.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grinned. \"So, wanna learn how to cook from me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Rangar laughed. \"I knew you wouldn’t miss this chance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who says that, you sly bastard?\" Samu shot back, still smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin considered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was basically a subclass. Not for me. For her. If Ao Tenshin’s growth depended on real feeding, then cooking wasn’t a hobby. It was part of my build.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I hadn’t eaten anything truly good in years besides my mother’s cooking. Maybe it was time I learned how to do it myself, even if it started here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it would carry over to the real world somehow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I could try learning cooking,\" Martin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samu nodded with satisfaction. \"Great. Welcome to the Spring Kitchen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have obtained a new quest: Become The First Star Chef!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin accepted the quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What star are you, Samu?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m a Five Star Chef, of course!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Samu finished boasting, Ao Tenshin had scraped the bowl clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pet Bond Quest Update: First Feeding - Completed]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Bond Progress: Increased]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[New Tab Unlocked: Pet Care]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pet Care: Ao Tenshin]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Traits: Dragon Bloodline; Turtle Shell]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Last Meal Impact: Fat increased; Shell Durability increased]\u003C\u002Fp>",1042,"2026-06-02T11:58:50.861Z",1,"novelbin.me","5a1fb638b632a5427308b2cb1420d48f9878ce93aa4f52df9b34a57deb51e267","harem-online-my-party-is-full-of-beautiful-celeb-chapter-120","harem-online-my-party-is-full-of-beautiful-celeb-chapter-16",138,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fharem-online-my-party-is-full-of-beautiful-celeb-cover.jpg"]
