the unrestricted freedom allowed one to choose any method to experience the game content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat growth routes, fishing growth routes, weapon research routes, scenery exploration routes, gene research routes, and so on—different players could all find a game Cultivation Mode suitable for themselves in this game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also gave Qin Kong an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His identity in the real world was that of a chef.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This profession, which had once been immensely popular in history, had become very rare in today's era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the rapid development of technology and the deep penetration of artificial intelligence, human society had ushered in an era of unprecedented comprehensive popularization of intelligent living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this era, AI technology had not only reshaped multiple fields such as industry, healthcare, and education but had also changed daily human life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the greatest changes was that AI robots began to massively replace traditional professions, and the profession of chef also underwent an intelligent transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to considerations such as food safety and production efficiency, AI replacing human labor was an inevitable trend of the times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps early intelligent robots struggled to meet human demands for personalized food, possessing many shortcomings that could not be resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the arrival of the Star Net era, powerful data processing capabilities brought about a revolutionary upgrade for AI robots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All AI robots could undergo deep learning through databases of specific professions, and coupled with upgrades in advanced sensor technology, AI robots could precisely simulate and optimize various cooking techniques; from ingredient identification, cutting, and seasoning to heat control, every procedure could surpass the precision and efficiency of professional chefs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, customers could provide optimization directions for AI upgrades through scoring and reviews after each meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This formed a positive optimization cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Developing to the present day, AI robots could customize personalized menus for different clients based on a massive recipe material library, satisfying the dining needs of various types of customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, AI robots not only greatly increased production efficiency and reduced labor costs but could also reduce waste through precise control of ingredient quantities, promoting the reduction of kitchen waste in the catering industry; combining these various advantages destined AI robots to completely replace the chef industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was a chef, to be more accurate, he was a creative dish researcher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His job content was to develop novel and unique dishes, add some new dishes to the Star Net recipe library, and then have AI intelligent robots complete the production, with customers providing scores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Income depended on the comprehensive annual subscription volume of the new recipes, as well as review data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His recipes had 160,000 annual subscribers on the Star Net, updating roughly one innovative dish per month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how much income he earned was secondary in Qin Kong's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His research into dishes stemmed from a heartfelt passion; every ingredient in his eyes harbored infinite possibilities, and every innovation was an unknown exploration filled with expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This passion, while he experienced the game content, gave rise to an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was surprised to discover that the spiritual ingredients in the game offered a taste experience surpassing all food in the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how ingredients in the real world were combined, they could never reach the level of spiritual food made in the game using the simplest cooking methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a foodie himself, Qin Kong thus formed an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to taste various spiritual materials in the game and compile a gourmet atlas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the original taste of spiritual food was already so delicious, could cooking methods be used to upgrade that deliciousness, achieving a flavor surpassing the ingredient itself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this idea took root in his mind, it quickly sprouted and grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One week ago, Qin Kong finally made his decision to become an exploration-faction player, or more accurately, to become a chef within the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His first goal was to create a spiritual gourmet atlas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his conception, this atlas was divided into two parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first part was the Spice Atlas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the process of food preparation, the importance of seasoning went without saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various seasonings could enhance food flavors, endowing food with unique and rich aromas and tastes, causing ordinary ingredients to be reborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, seasonings could also balance various flavors of food, such as salty, sweet, sour, and bitter, making the taste of dishes more harmonious and unified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In cooking, seasonings were the core key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seasonings from reality could not be brought into the game; to use various seasonings in the game, one had to source materials locally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason he traveled back and forth between the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range and the Colorful Mist Coast region, making spices (seasonings) in the manner of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the current stage, he had already found fifteen types of natural seasonings that could be used in cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every type of seasoning could bring a unique flavor unexperienceable in reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This preliminary success gave Qin Kong the motivation to continue moving forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he planned to head near the coast to search for ingredients and begin his first cooking attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Qin Kong passed through the dense rainforest and arrived before a white sandy beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweeping his gaze around, his vision locked onto a Golden-Claw Crab moving rapidly sideways, and he immediately moved forward to capture it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden-Claw Crab was the most common ingredient on the Colorful Mist Coast; after players captured them, they usually roasted them directly over a fire, at most sprinkling a little sea salt to make a delicious meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qin Kong had higher pursuits for his dishes, wishing to elevate the taste of spiritual food by several grades through methods such as ingredient pairing and spice seasoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He caught two Golden-Claw Crabs, killed them, and tossed them into his Spatial Satchel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Kong continued to hunt for Golden-Claw Crabs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the issue of ingredient freshness, he had no need to worry at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spatial Satchel was the best preservation warehouse; whatever state food was in when put inside, it would be in that same state when taken out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Issues such as microbial enzymes, oxidation, and other factors that would affect ingredient quality simply did not exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Qin Kong was busy, a Challenger prompt suddenly popped up in his mind, indicating that a friend had requested a connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the name of the connecting player, Qin Kong chose to agree to the connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a video screen popped up before his eyes; in the center of the screen stood a skeleton about 1.6 meters tall, engulfed in ink-black flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the skeleton opened its mouth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother!\" A slightly immature female voice came through the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Running low on Sacrificial Power again?\" Looking at his sister in her Bone Fire form on the screen, Qin Kong asked with some curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Running low is one thing, but more importantly, I was browsing the forum just now and saw a player post about discovering an underwater cave near the shallow waters of the Colorful Mist Coast. The spiritual fish caught there are incredibly delicious. Since you're currently looking for tasty ingredients, I specifically came to remind you... Oh right, transfer me 100 points of Sacrificial Power while you're at it. I'm heading out with the guild soon to hunt evil spirits outside the village; I used all my funds to boost my Body Tempering experience, so I'm broke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, transferring it now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ending the connection, Qin Kong summoned his friends list, selected his sister's avatar, and transferred 100 points of Sacrificial Power to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, he activated the forum function and began searching for the post his sister mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he located the target post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After opening the post and spending half an hour reading the content and watching the attached video, Qin Kong immediately became interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poster was a player from the Fishing Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the post, he complained that the process of sea fishing was extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly, many baits used on land could not meet the demands of sea fishing; the spiritual fish in the ocean preferred live bait. Thus, this player conceived the idea of diving directly into the sea to catch fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, while exploring the shallow seas, he accidentally discovered an underwater cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video showed schools of fierce, silver-white fish shuttling and roaming within the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the video, the player caught a small silver fish; after bringing it ashore and roasting it, he found the taste surprisingly delicious, far surpassing any aquatic creatures fished from the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching the video, the poster's expression of repeatedly praising the flavor of the fish meat played over and over in Qin Kong's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After noting the address provided in the post, he decided to set off immediately, catch one to taste, and then record it in his Ingredient Compendium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Activating the map function, he saw that the location where the poster caught the silver fish was four kilometers west of the teleportation point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing the Golden Claw Crab he had just caught and tossing it into his Spatial Bag, he immediately turned and headed toward the marked coordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, he arrived at the coordinate location, where noisy sounds filled his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roasted Golden Claw Crabs, 3.5 points of Sacrificial Power each; delicious and grants Body Tempering experience.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Small sea fish without a Hunting Level requirement, only 3 points of Sacrificial Power each to take away; grilling services available.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roasted Golden Claw Crabs, discounts for bulk purchases; grand opening today, 10% off for the first ten orders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This beach appeared exceptionally lively, with many players gathered here; one could even see players setting up stalls to sell roasted crabs or roasted fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weaving through the crowd, Qin Kong walked against the waves toward the coordinate location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seawater gradually rose past his knees until it completely submerged his upper body; at this moment, Qin Kong's body twisted and transformed into a twelve-meter-long Black Armored Snake, swimming toward the underwater coordinate location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his head pierced the water surface, a dreamlike underwater scenery presented itself before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight penetrating the surface dyed the underwater world with a layer of soft, shifting light and shadow, revealing coral reefs of various shapes below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some branched complexly like deer antlers, others were round like mushrooms... all seemed like artworks meticulously carved by nature, colorful and vibrant, with various hues interwoven to constitute a splendid and dreamlike underwater world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he swam forward, spiritual fish constantly approached voluntarily, only to flick their tails and dart away sharply upon reaching a dangerous distance, as if provoking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Kong looked up in the direction of the coordinate location; two creatures resembling sea turtles, carrying stones covered in seaweed on their backs, were slowly swimming forward, blocking his line of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon his approach, the two turtle-like underwater creatures quickly paddled their front limbs and voluntarily withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing forward along the coordinate marker, passing through swaying clusters of blue seagrass, Qin Kong spotted the underwater cave at the marked location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave entrance was obscured by a veil-like layer of seaweed; only when the water current was particularly fierce could the irregular cave entrance be glimpsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving before the cave, he parted the seaweed and peered inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior of the cave was spacious and deep; the ceiling was embedded with naturally formed underwater spiritual stones that shimmered with a pearl-like luster under the faint light, resembling an underwater starry sky at first glance, while the cave walls were covered by a thin layer of fluorescent moss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the play of light and shadow, schools of fish the size of an adult's palm swam within, some gnawing on the moss on the rock walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their scales refracted bright silver-white light under the fluorescence, and one could occasionally see rows of sharp teeth when their mouths opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Focusing his gaze, analysis information appeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Silver-Tailed Fish]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting Level: 7\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Target Introduction:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An omnivorous fish species living in deep-sea caves, named for its shimmering silver tail fin; fierce in temperament, typically acting in schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skilled at utilizing the complex terrain within caves to hide and forage, their food sources are quite extensive, including plankton and small crustaceans, as well as consuming underwater plants. In a predatory state, Silver-Tailed Fish display astonishing teamwork capabilities; through collective movement and coordination, they execute high-frequency attacks and evasive maneuvers. Their flesh is tender and tastes delicious, making them a standout among deep-sea delicacies and a commonly used complementary ingredient in spiritual food recipes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based solely on the introduction in the analysis information, Qin Kong could affirm that the Silver-Tailed Fish would definitely taste delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before launching an attack, he decided to surface first to catch a breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, Qin Kong returned to the front of the cave, bared his ferocious fangs, and then lunged fiercely at the school of fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Qin Kong's assault, the Silver-Tailed Fish seemed to receive some command, rapidly assembling to form a silver barrier, opening their mouths to reveal sharp teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Kong snapped his massive jaws down viciously, but the Silver-Tailed Fish formation shook violently; the position he bit collapsed inward, while Silver-Tailed Fish from other positions surged forward, viciously biting at Qin Kong's Black Armored Snake body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their sharp teeth could easily tear through scales and armor, and each time they bit, they would flick their tails and retreat, never waiting for Qin Kong to react and counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Qin Kong's first battle in the sea; in this unfamiliar environment, he was completely no match for the vast numbers of Silver-Tailed Fish. Several lunges failed to catch a single fish, whereas the scales on his body were torn extensively, with threads of fresh blood overflowing from the wounds. This made the school of Silver-Tailed Fish even more frenzied, their attack rhythm accelerating suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Qin Kong, it felt as though the school of fish was an unpredictable formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whichever direction he attacked, the Silver-Tailed Fish in that direction would rapidly retreat, making it impossible for him to get close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation of pain intensified; Qin Kong choked on seawater several times in succession, yet he did not give up, choosing to continue fighting the school of Silver-Tailed Fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he successfully bit down on three Silver-Tailed Fish at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exerting force downward with his jaws, a Challenger Notification immediately rang in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Challenger Notification: Successfully killed monster \"Silver-Tailed Fish,\" gained 112 Evolution Points, received 22 points of Sacrificial Power reward]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three identical notifications in succession, a prompt asking whether to decompose the Silver-Tailed Fish appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Kong decisively selected \"No\" and stored the three dead Silver-Tailed Fish in his Spatial Bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His stamina was also exhausted at this moment; facing the fierce fish-formation offensive of the Silver-Tailed Fish school, he completely lost the ability to resist, closed his eyes, and gave up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screen gradually dimmed at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, another hour in the little black room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Kong logged into the game, appearing at the Resurrection Plaza in Emperor Tomb Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the teleportation array to arrive in the Colorful Mist Coast region, he decided to begin crafting the first spiritual food dish since entering the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how to make it, he had already formulated a plan during the hour spent in the little black room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the Spatial Plaza, he found an uninhabited beach and continuously retrieved items from his Spatial Bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Metal stands, heating stone slabs, wood, fire stones...

he needed to further heat it using flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After accomplishing this, Qin Kong took out a bottle of Basic Recovery Potion from his Spatial Bag, but inside the white transparent casing was not medicinal liquid, but plant seed oil he had personally squeezed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using a wooden whisk brush to coat the oil onto the surface of the stone slab, it immediately sizzled, and a faint fragrance diffused outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Kong twitched his nose, and a satisfied smile floated onto his Iron Face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these things were obtained by him from nature and handmade, holding extraordinary significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After brushing on a layer of oil, he took out various spices bottled in mall potion bottles from his Spatial Bag, arranging them neatly beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he took out the star of this cooking session: the Silver-Tailed Fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely different from its appearance underwater, the Silver-Tailed Fish shimmered with a silver glow on its surface under the sunlight, with the deep-sea gloom still lingering in its eyes, resembling a piece of art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight flick of his wrist, he lifted the Silver-Tailed Fish by its tail and placed it onto the oiled stone slab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a sizzling sound arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fish scales gradually curled under the high heat; Qin Kong used his other hand to take out a cleaver crafted from a weapon picked up in the Ancient Battlefield region from his Spatial Bag, and with a wave of his hand, skillfully scraped off the scales from both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally intended to remove the internal organs of the Silver-Tailed Fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon careful consideration, he realized there was absolutely no need to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, one does this because fish organs accumulate harmful substances; removal is necessary from a perspective of hygiene and safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the impact on texture, he had yet to discover any substance in spiritual foods that affected the mouthfeel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this initial attempt, he decided to retain the internal organs and continue cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the temperature of the stone slab continued to rise, the fish flesh pressed against it emitted an enticing aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qin Kong did not rush to flip it; he continued to wait patiently, allowing a thin layer of golden-brown crispy skin to form between the fish flesh and the stone slab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, the aroma filling the air became increasingly rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, when one side of the fish flesh was roasted to a golden hue, Qin Kong decisively used slender wooden chopsticks to gently flip the Silver-Tailed Fish over; the other side, under the high heat of the stone slab, also rapidly turned golden and crispy, while the interior of the fish flesh remained tender and juicy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came the selection and use of spices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he used chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish flesh, placed it in his mouth, and chewed to taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Silver-Tailed Fish flesh was golden and crispy on the outside, with tender meat inside; the process of savoring it carefully felt like tasting the flavor of the ocean itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its delicate texture slid across the tongue like silk, followed by the rich juices contained within the fish flesh flowing freely in the mouth, bringing waves of clear sweetness, like a spring breeze on a hot summer day, refreshing the heart and soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tasting the original flavor of the fish flesh, Qin Kong formed an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cut the fish flesh on the slab into segments and arranged them, then took Sweet Dew Sauce and Great Spirit Peppercorns from the spices, evenly pouring and sprinkling them over the surface of one piece of fish flesh, spreading it uniformly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature of the stone slab dissolved the spices, allowing them to penetrate into the fish flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the fragrance filling the air changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ye picked up a piece of seasoned fish with his chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and savored it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this attempt, he couldn't help but shake his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the combination of the two spices, the flavor of the fish meat gained layers, yet the taste became chaotic, resulting in a far inferior overall flavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After swallowing the entire piece of fish, he began working on the other fillets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the process of experimentation, every detail of Qin Ye's actions revealed respect for the ingredients and a love for cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the process did not go as smoothly as anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After consecutive failures, Qin Ye took out another Silver-Tail Fish and began roasting it anew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before roasting this time, he washed the stains off the stone slab with clear spring water, ensuring the ingredients would not be contaminated by the spices spilled earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cleaning it thoroughly, he brushed on vegetable oil again, removed the fish scales following the same method, and began cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Qin Ye couldn't help but shake his head again, then took out another Silver-Tail Fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through consecutive attempts, he discovered that spices could indeed impart different flavor characteristics to the fish meat, but upon tasting, they could never compare to the original flavor of the fish itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that for spiritual food made from spiritual ingredients, the original flavor was the most perfect presentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only one last Silver-Tail Fish left for testing, Qin Ye did not give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes later, the fish meat was roasted to a golden brown on both sides; judging by the aroma, he sequentially sprinkled three types of spices and spread them evenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he was about to taste it, he saw the spices sprinkled on the surface of the fish rapidly merge with the meat, causing a faint glow to ripple across the surface before vanishing in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Qin Ye felt puzzled by this, the Challenger Prompt suddenly rang out in his mind and across the entire channel:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Challenger Prompt (All Channels): Congratulations to player \"ai Chef\" for successfully cooking Spiritual Food: (Unnamed), receiving 3000 points of Sacrificial Power reward (Innovation Achievement Reward).]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unnamed (Spiritual Food)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual Food Level: Level 3\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual Food Introduction: A spiritual dish carefully cooked using the relatively rare Silver-Tail Fish from the ocean as the main ingredient;

much like chemistry in the real world, mixing and modulating them could produce wonderful effects surpassing the spiritual materials themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Silver-Tail Fish prepared by Qin Ye was combined with three types of spices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three spices reacted mysteriously with the Silver-Tail Fish; upon consumption, not only did the Body Tempering experience increase significantly, but an additional 3 points of permanent Water Element resistance boost were gained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the effects produced by each type of spiritual food differed;

Reply to Night Approaches: Brother Night, don't be afraid; whether the secondary profession is difficult or not has nothing to do with us. We just need to spend money in the Trading Hall to buy the spiritual food they make; spending money solves all problems. As for how to find spiritual materials or how to make spiritual food, leave that to the players who enjoy crafting. Every player has a different division of labor within the player camp; your duty is to guide the newbies and research more Star Vein combination builds for us, while my task is to kiss your butt after every one of your comments to provide you with moral support (Brick-Moving Party smiles.jpg).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Berserk Chick: I have no interest in secondary professions; my mind is currently full of fighting the Black Black Tide.

Also, just a note, I hope this secondary profession develops well and produces more spiritual foods that increase permanent attributes. If the price is cheap, I'll buy; if they sell it expensive, I'll flame them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swear Only Love My Wife: This Spiritual Chef secondary profession looks very important; the special effect buffs of various spiritual foods are fierce. I just flipped through some and found a spiritual meal called \"Blue Wave Clouds\"; after eating it, all attributes +300. Most importantly, it can be eaten repeatedly, although the effect weakens with multiple consumptions. But the effect of this spiritual food is too fierce; eating it makes you take off on the spot. It's just that the production materials total up to 103 types, and not a single one is recorded in the Codex (wiping tears.jpg).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death Scythe Specializes in Killing Euro Kings: Holy crap! Holy crap! I found this thing in the recipe library (jump link: Stardust Dark Blue). The effect after eating is actually Physical Quality Strength +2000. What kind of god-tier recipe is this?

It feels like the secondary profession gameplay is very interesting. Unfortunately, I don't like cooking. I hope the officials can release a forging-type secondary profession; I like that. In games I played before, the secondary professions I chose were always things like Blacksmith. However, given Dark Land's ultra-high freedom, I'm afraid this Blacksmith secondary profession will require players to personally handle the hammering, rather than summoning a function panel to get it done with one click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can This Game Fish?: Excuse me, does anyone know how to make the \"Power of the Sea\" spiritual food? I checked the spiritual material formula; about half are in the Codex. This spiritual food is fierce; after eating, one can maintain underwater breathing time for 35 hours.
