Sis Yueee!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled by the sudden appearance of someone near her, Mei Mei dropped the ladle that she was using, and along with that toppled the whole pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something that looked like a broth spilled from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it did not smell like a broth or even something edible. It even had burnt stuff inside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yue blinked in surprise. She knitted her brows together and stared at the mystery item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you manage to burn something when cooking a broth and especially when there is so much liquid left?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Sis Yue! This is all your fault! You distracted me!\" Mei Mei clutched her head, looking at her nth failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart ached. So many wasted ingredients. She really did not want to accept it but it looked like… the cooking skill… she had to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmm. You should give up on cooking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the heck? Mei Mei looked up to see an old man standing in front of them, and voicing out her thoughts loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood her limitations but to be pointed out like this… Her cheeks heated up in shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That too for some reason the entire hall seemed to be staring at her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did she realize that the person standing in front of her was actually the cooking trainer of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had seen a lot of players trying to talk to the same old man, begging for quests or pointers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not giving them any face, the man had completely ignored all of them. Only his apprentices interacted with everyone, imparting the cooking skill for a fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trainer himself did not bother, but to criticize her apparently the man made a personal visit. He had come over all on his own to talk to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However… alas… it was only to ask her to quit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have never seen anyone this bad. You should just go ahead and give up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said it again! Mei Mei was completely speechless and became even more flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yue couldn't simply watch it anymore and decided to intervene. \"Cough. Cough. Maybe we can try some other skill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt bad to see her looking so glum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had clearly failed again and again, but the truth was that she also did not give up and continued working hard which was an admirable quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, with her brother's backing alone, there was no need for her to work so hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about it. Shall we try learning other skills?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not so fast, pretty young miss. I only said that your friend here doesn't have any talent. You, on the other hand, are incredibly talented.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can just tell how gorgeous… ahem… I mean how amazingly talented you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa? What now?\" Shen Yue blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not know if it was her imagination but the old man for some reason had the same expression as the knight she had met with outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis Yue, that's great.\" Mei Mei also said in encouragement, though her voice was clearly muffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahh… that…\" Shen Yue had no idea what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the old man and cautiously asked. \"Then can I learn the cooking skill? I also want to try making something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure. Sure. This old man will personally teach you, dear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dear…?\" Shen Yue's eyes widened and before she could understand what just happened, a series of notifications flooded her system interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding: You have acquired the trade skill Cooking]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding: Your Cooking skill proficiency has increased to Beginner Level]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding: Your Cooking skill proficiency has increased to Trainee Level]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding. Your Cooking skill proficiency has increased to Intermediate Level]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding. You have obtained the recipe for Mashed Potatoes]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding. You have obtained the recipe for Charred Chicken Leg]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding. You have obtained the recipe for Grilled Devil Boar]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shen Yue glanced at the list of about 30 recipes that she had somehow obtained, the old revealed a big grin and groomed his beard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you satisfied with the recipes dear? Stick with me and you will have no regrets. I will make you a great cooking master in no time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahh…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yue did not know what was happening. Were NPCs always this friendly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she had clearly read that it took a lot of ingredients and attempts to level up lifestyle skills like cooking, smithing, and stitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she leveled up just like that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at the old man smiling at her somewhat creepily and then at Mei Mei who was smiling at her even more creepily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis! What happened? What recipes did you get?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yue did not know what she was dealing with but she could tell that something was definitely out of sorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Umm… Mei Mei… I think we should leave this place.\" She hurriedly typed in their private party chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\" Mei Mei was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person just gave me a lot of recipes and also upgraded my cooking skill directly to intermediate level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What! Are you serious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yue nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Mei opened her mouth wide and was about to ask something, but then she covered her mouth with her palm and asked in the private chat instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is impossible, sis Yue. I have never heard of anything like this on the forums.\" She then remembered the one person who could answer their doubts and tried asking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother? Do you know anything about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she didn't get any reply. She looked at Shen Yue helplessly as she was also clueless about what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two could clearly see that the old man was still grinning widely, making them more uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, Mei Mei's expression changed and she hurriedly typed in the chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis Yue, wait. This is not a bad thing. If that person is handing out everything to you, why not ask for more? He He He\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah… but…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No buts… let's get as much free stuff as possible. Maybe this trainer is willing to give you things for free, others maybe too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yue gulped. She was not totally clueless. She had a small inkling that this special treatment had something to do with the charm attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made her hesitate was… were there only good side effects to this charm attribute?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they really used this 'special treatment' to the full extent that they could, would they be going overboard and face some sort of bad side effects?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered Liam specifically telling them again and again to keep a low profile, just do small quests and not step outside as this game was very dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a feeling that doing this was probably going against his advice. This was why she hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, she also couldn't resist the allure of fast leveling everything…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Mei Mei standing by her side and further egging her on with big grinning eyes, she gulped and ended up caving in. \"Alright, let's do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yay! We are going to earn lots of money! Sis Yue, do you know how much these items sell for in the auction house?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am guessing a lot of people buy these extra items?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He He. You have no idea. Currently, there is an item called 'Fire Resistance Potion' that is being sold in the auction house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget players, big guilds are fighting with each other to get their hands on that potion. It is a complete riot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah? Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Yes. I even heard that someone leaked the name of the person who made that potion and now all the top guilds are lining up to recruit that person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can also become very famous and get a lot of money if we make that potion. Quick. Quick. Let's go and talk to the alchemy trainer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Un. Let's try our best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile… in the northern parts of the kingdom…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind whooshed past the mecha gnome valley which was rather unusually quiet, despite the huge number of gnomes present there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiding in a corner of this valley, Liam saw that a few messages had popped up from his sister and Shen Yue but he currently ignored them as he had no other option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also because they were in the city, he knew that they were safe so he focused on the situation in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impossible situation that he was in…\u003C\u002Fp>",1413,"2026-06-06T14:49:04.730Z",1,"novelbin.me","9ad506f910bf1412e03d16f233486229df47e84006e2af49d7e2ba7b7bf8f2ee","re-evolution-online-chapter-159","re-evolution-online-chapter-213",1446,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fre-evolution-online-cover.jpg"]
