Chapter 68: The King of Acting Cool's New Profession

"Ding! Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 50 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 60 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for consuming 'Stinky Tofu'. Divine Soul Power increased by 1%."

"Ding! Verification complete. The 'Stinky Tofu' successfully cooked by the host 'Xu Que' is a one-star delicacy."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for automatically comprehending the sub-profession 'Chef'. Reward: one Sub-Profession Gift Pack!"

"Huh?"

Xu Que was suddenly startled. The system's rapid-fire notifications had him feeling a bit dazed.

First, it was increasing his Divine Soul Power, then it was a one-star delicacy, and in the end, he even got a sub-profession, "Chef"?

What the hell is all this?

He regained his composure and immediately put the bowl of stinky tofu in his hand back into the system storage space. When he checked the attribute display, he was instantly stunned.

【Stinky Tofu】:

One-star delicacy, cooked by the host "Xu Que", valid for 3 days.

Effect: Can satisfy hunger and increase Divine Soul Power by 1% (only effective once per day).

"Holy crap, messing around with some stinky tofu actually has this kind of effect!"

Xu Que was delighted on the spot.

But he had actually put a lot of effort into this stinky tofu, what with all the various sauces, mincing the garlic, and adding that jade bowl; it really did make this bowl of stinky tofu much more delicious.

Although the grade was only one star and the effect was quite average—for instance, no matter how many pieces he ate each day, only the first one would increase his Divine Soul Power.

However, this made Xu Que feel like he had discovered a new continent.

Even though the effect of this one-star delicacy was indeed very average, if he could make three-star, four-star, or even higher-star delicacies in the future, the effects would certainly not be simple!

"Right, there's also a Sub-Profession Gift Pack. Haha, System, open it for me and let's see what's inside!" Xu Que, full of anticipation, entered the system package interface and stared at the big red gift pack.

"Swish!"

Several streams of light flashed across the system interface, and several items instantly appeared in the package.

"Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for obtaining the 'One-Star Chef' skill book. After use, there is a 100% chance to cook one-star delicacies!"

"Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for obtaining the 'One-Star Musician' skill book. After use, there is a 100% chance to perform one-star musical scores!"

"Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for obtaining the 'One-Star Alchemist' skill book. After use, there is a 100% chance to refine one-star pills!"

"Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for obtaining the 'One-Star Artifact Refiner' skill book. After use, there is a 100% chance to refine one-star dharma artifacts!"

"Congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for obtaining the 'One-Star Talisman Master' skill book. After use, there is a 100% chance to create one-star talismans!"

Damn, I've hit the jackpot this time!

Xu Que's mouth hung wide open. He never expected happiness to arrive so suddenly. After opening one big gift pack, he had directly obtained so many professional skill books.

It wasn't that these skill books weren't sold in the mall, but they were too expensive. A single one-star skill book alone required a full 500 Acting Cool Points.

Now that Xu Que had obtained five skill books for different professions at once, it was equivalent to saving 2,500 Acting Cool Points, and he had also mastered these five professional abilities. His luck was simply off the charts!

"Use them, use them all!"

Xu Que shouted excitedly in his heart.

In an instant, the five skill books were consumed, followed by a massive amount of information flooding into Xu Que's mind.

In less than a few breaths, he opened his eyes, having already mastered five new abilities, as if they were innate and incredibly proficient.

The role of a chef was very obvious: to cook delicacies with attached attributes.

But the musician was even more astonishing, skilled in all kinds of ancient musical instruments, such as the xun, clay pot, bamboo clappers, pan flute, konghou, zheng, Ancient Zither, etc. Moreover, the music played could directly influence people's emotions and even completely control the other party's rational thinking.

This was simply an existence like a cheat code, and they were all divine skills essential for acting cool!

Xu Que's mood instantly became cheerful. With a brilliant smile on his face, he felt that the world was truly beautiful and filled with the hope of acting cool everywhere!

But the many cultivators outside the tower were stunned when they saw this scene.

"My god!"

"Look quickly, after he ate shit, he's still smiling so happily."

"How terrifying!"

"He's crazy, this guy is definitely crazy!"

"No, I think he's the truly ruthless one. He's so ruthless that he even dares to eat shit. It's too terrifying!"

"Ugh, I can't take it... Blech!"

Suddenly, some cultivators outside the tower couldn't hold it in anymore and started dry-heaving on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Xu Que raised an eyebrow and glared, saying: "You few who are dry-heaving, don't run. Later, I'll personally feed you real shit."

"..."

The expressions of the few cultivators who were dry-heaving changed instantly. They straightened up and cupped their hands to the people around them, saying: "Everyone, I have urgent business to attend to, so I'll take my leave first!"

After speaking, they immediately turned around and left on their swords.

Xu Que snorted coldly; naturally, he couldn't possibly chase after them.

He looked down at the remaining stinky tofu in the oil pan, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly, as if he had thought of something.

He looked at the crowd under the tower and smiled: "Fellow Daoists, do you want to know why I can increase my Divine Soul Power so quickly?"

The crowd couldn't help but be startled, and then they were shocked in their hearts.

This black-robed youth really had broken through his Divine Soul Power just now. Such speed was simply astonishing.

Someone couldn't help but feel tempted and cupped their hands, responding: "I would like to know!"

Xu Que reached out and pointed at the stinky tofu in the oil pan, smiling: "Because what I just ate wasn't ordinary food. Look at this stinky tofu; it's a specialty delicacy of our Exploding Heaven Gang. Its effect is comparable to a one-star Heavenly Void Pill. Once consumed, it can instantly increase Divine Soul Power."

The crowd's mouths twitched instantly.

"Fellow Daoist, stop joking."

"We won't be fooled."

"You clearly just want to trick us into eating 'shit'!"

"Wait, he actually knows about the Heavenly Void Pill. This pill has been lost for a long time!"

"That's right, I once saw in an ancient book that the Heavenly Void Pill is a pill that can enhance Divine Soul Power, but its inheritance was lost thousands of years ago!"

"Could it be... what he said is true?"

Some people started to become suspicious and stared at the pot of stinky tofu on the third floor, lost in thought, while others shook their heads repeatedly, refusing to believe Xu Que's words even if they died.

Xu Que didn't say much more. He directly picked up the pot, walked down the stairs, and returned to the first floor, saying: "Everyone, consider this a gift from our Exploding Heaven Gang to you. Anyway, after you try it and see the effect, go out and promote the prestige of our Exploding Heaven Gang! As for whether you dare to try it, you can decide for yourselves!"

"Swish!"

After speaking, he picked up another piece of stinky tofu from the oil pan, slurped it into his mouth, and looked like he was savoring the endless aftertaste.

Following that, amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, Xu Que turned and left, deciding to go up a few more floors in the tower to take a look around.

Because, ever since he enhanced his Divine Soul Power, he vaguely felt that there seemed to be someone else on the eighth floor of this tower!
