Chapter 2: Talent Increase

He didn't expect the system to have such a function. Ye Changqing couldn't help but be happy.

After the shock, he took a piece of Red-Striped Pig meat, minced it, and began to stir-fry the sauce.

The most crucial part of Braised Noodles was naturally that sauce; this was the key to whether the taste was good or bad.

Under the system's reward, Ye Changqing already knew the method of making these Braised Noodles like the back of his hand. And not only that, during the preparation, the system could actually provide hints. ===== CHAPTER 4 =====

Such as heat, time, and so on.

Soon, a bowl of fragrant sauce was out of the pot. Smelling this fragrance, even Ye Changqing couldn't help but nod.

Next was boiling the noodles. This was simple: boil the water, add the noodles, and add three rounds of cold water in sequence to make the noodles chewier.

The noodles were out of the pot, topped with the sauce, and sprinkled with some green onions. Just at this moment, a petite little loli appeared in the courtyard out of nowhere.

Her face was a bit chubby, pink and tender, looking very cute. However, at this moment, the little girl's gaze was locked tightly onto Ye Changqing—or more accurately, the large bowl in his hands.

"So fragrant."

"What are you making?"

She walked quickly to Ye Changqing and asked.

"This thing is called Braised Noodles. Also, you're drooling."

Looking at the saliva flowing from the corner of the little girl's mouth as she spoke, Ye Changqing said helplessly.

"Ah, sorry, it's too fragrant, I couldn't help it. Sorry."

"That... can you make a bowl for me to eat? I really want to eat it."

Seeing this girl with a pitiful look, her big eyes full of pleading, as if she were about to cry for a bowl of Braised Noodles.

Seeing this, Ye Changqing smiled slightly and handed the bowl in his hand over.

"I haven't eaten yet, if you don't mind..."

"I don't mind, I don't mind."

Before he could finish his sentence, the bowl had already been snatched away, with such speed that even Ye Changqing hadn't seen it clearly.

Never having eaten Braised Noodles before, the girl didn't even know how to mix it; she just picked it up and ate. Even so, she praised it repeatedly.

"Delicious, delicious..."

To this, Ye Changqing was full of doubt. Could plain noodles be this delicious?

"You're eating it wrong. You have to mix it first, so the sauce and the noodles are all mixed together."

Unable to watch any longer, Ye Changqing offered guidance.

Finally, under Ye Changqing's personal demonstration, the girl finally learned how to eat the noodles correctly. And after mixing, with one bite, Ye Changqing seemed to see a flash of light in her eyes.

Then it was like a storm sweeping away the clouds; that seemingly small mouth now seemed to have turned into an abyss-like maw.

"Slow down, no one is fighting you for it, eat slowly."

He didn't know who this girl was, but seeing her like this, Ye Changqing smiled.

As a chef, being able to see the things he made being liked by others was naturally gratifying.

"I %&&&...%&"

He couldn't hear what the girl was saying at all. Ye Changqing smiled and walked into the kitchen to boil some more noodles.

Braised Noodles were like this; as long as there was sauce, it was very convenient.

When Ye Changqing finished boiling the noodles and came out carrying the bowl, the girl had already finished eating, but her gaze was again immediately fixed on the bowl in Ye Changqing's hand.

Her face turned red, but she still couldn't help but say.

"Can you boil another bowl for me? It's really too delicious."

Recalling the taste just now, the little girl's appetite was whetted, to the point she couldn't even hold back. She had never eaten such a taste before; she really didn't expect there to be such a delicacy in this world.

Seeing this, Ye Changqing laughed.

"Give me the bowl."

He had boiled a bit more earlier. Hearing this, the little girl happily handed the bowl to Ye Changqing.

Afterward, two figures, one big and one small, sat side by side at the kitchen entrance, slurping the noodles in large mouthfuls.

Ye Changqing ate normally, but the little girl could only be described as ferocious.

"It does indeed have some effect of enhancing physical fitness, but it's not large. If you don't feel it carefully, you won't notice it at all."

Having bound the system, the food Ye Changqing made all had special effects, but the effect of these Braised Noodles wasn't great.

The taste was okay, but Ye Changqing wouldn't be as exaggerated as the little girl about the things he made himself.

After eating two full large bowls, the little girl patted her bulging belly and said to Ye Changqing beside her, feeling embarrassed.

"I don't usually eat this much, today it's because what you made was too delicious, I couldn't help myself for a moment."

An unconvincing explanation, but Ye Changqing didn't care.

"Nothing to be embarrassed about, as long as you like it."

"Of course I like it, this is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten. But can I come again in the future?"

Perhaps worried that she wouldn't be able to eat it again, the little girl looked at Ye Changqing and asked somewhat nervously.

To this, Ye Changqing found it strange. This was the kitchen of Divine Sword Peak, why couldn't she come?

"This is the kitchen of Divine Sword Peak, it's originally a place to cook for the disciples of Divine Sword Peak. You can come anytime."

Hearing this, the little girl was stunned, but then she started laughing foolishly.

So this was the kitchen; she hadn't known that before.

"Then it's a deal, I'll come every day from now on."

In a great mood, the little girl dropped this sentence and skipped away toward the door. However, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly turned back to look at Ye Changqing and said.

"By the way, my name is Lu Youyou, thank you for treating me to Braised Noodles."

After saying this, she ran away.

He hadn't heard this name before, but Ye Changqing didn't care. Just after Lu Youyou left, the system's prompt suddenly sounded.

[Ding, received one positive review from Lu Youyou, current progress 1/100.]

[Reward: Talent increased by 1 point, cultivation base increased by 1 point.]

The so-called progress was the degree of positive reviews. After reaching one hundred positive reviews, he would be able to unlock other dishes. After all, as a chef, it was impossible to only have one dish.

Just one bowl of Braised Noodles wasn't even enough for a banquet.

As for the talent increase of one point, Ye Changqing didn't have any special feeling.

"System, pull up the personal panel."

[Host: Ye Changqing.]

[Identity: Chores disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect.]

[Cultivation: Entry level of Body Refining realm. (81/100)]

[Reputation: Unknown.]

[Talent: Low-grade intermediate (51/100)]

[Bone structure: Low-grade high-level (30/1000)]

[Comprehension: High-grade intermediate (20/100000)]

Except for comprehension, talent and bone structure were trash. The one point of talent rewarded just now had already been added.

"Comprehension should be the improvement after I transmigrated."

His comprehension was already better than many people's, at least enough to reach the ranks of geniuses.

But having only comprehension wasn't enough. It was like being able to understand the content of a cultivation technique but being unable to cultivate it. What use was that? Just staring at it?

It was still a long way to go, but with the system, Ye Changqing had confidence.

He would just safely "hide" in the Profound Heaven Sect for a hundred or eighty years. By then, when his talent and bone structure improved, he would also be a heaven-defying genius.

The only annoying thing was that the higher the grade, the more difficult the improvement. Like comprehension, it now required one hundred thousand points to improve.

However, Ye Changqing wasn't the type of "Long Ao" character. He would just slowly "hide." With the system, at least bottlenecks didn't exist; it was just a matter of time.

And in the Profound Heaven Sect, there was no need to worry about any danger. ===== CHAPTER 5 =====
