Once again, the system’s voice echoed, asking, “Shall the host proceed with the integration of the advanced culinary skills?”

“Integrate.

In the next moment, Zhou Chao felt an abundance of knowledge flooding his mind. It took him a good half an hour to fully absorb the knowledge and his body developed muscle memory. He now felt like a master chef capable of preparing dishes fit for a state banquet.

“Prepare a delicious feast.” This was the only thought in Zhou Chao’s mind. As a former otaku who could only eat but not cook, he had no culinary skills in his previous life. However, things were different now.

Zhou Chao went online and bought a large amount of ingredients, opting for express delivery. In less than half an hour, the supermarket delivered the groceries he had purchased. Zhou Chao took out a portion of the ingredients, planning to make two dishes and a soup—a meat dish, a vegetarian dish, and a soup, the perfect combination. The rest of the ingredients were stored in the refrigerator.

Transforming into a chef, Zhou Chao’s movements in the kitchen were as smooth as flowing water, a sight pleasing to the eye. The kitchen was filled with the sound of clanging and rattling.

In less than half an hour, Zhou Chao had prepared two dishes and a soup.

“Mmm… It smells so good! The skills of a master chef for state banquets are truly unparalleled. The aroma alone is enough to make one’s appetite soar!” Zhou Chao exclaimed.

Zhou Chao served himself a bowl of rice and eagerly took a bite of the food. Instantly, a rich and intense flavor filled his mouth. In his previous life, Zhou Chao had never tasted anything so delicious.

With his current culinary skills, he could easily become a master chef even in a five-star hotel. He could also become a big shot in the culinary world. Zhou Chao indulged in his fantasies for a moment and smiled.

In less than ten minutes, Zhou Chao devoured all the food on the table. “Burp.” He patted his belly, realizing he had eaten too much. Nevertheless, his face was adorned with a contented smile.

After tidying up the kitchen, Zhou Chao laid back on the sofa and noticed a document folder and car keys on the table. He immediately got up, grabbed the keys, and headed towards the garage.

As Zhou Chao entered the garage, he noticed his Ferrari F12TDF covered with a car cover. He carefully lifted the cover, revealing a breathtaking sea-blue Ferrari F12TDF before his eyes.

The Ferrari F12TDF, the ultimate version of the F12, accelerated from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 2.9 seconds. With a weight of only 1,415 kilograms, it had a top speed of 340 kilometers per hour. Only 799 units were produced worldwide, with only 9 allocated to China.

The Ferrari F12TDF was equipped with a 6.3-liter V12 engine, delivering a maximum power output of 780 horsepower and a peak torque of 705 Newton-meters. It was one of the most powerful naturally aspirated engines, potentially the pinnacle of Ferrari’s naturally aspirated engines. It was based on the ordinary F12 but featured redesigned exterior elements.

Zhou Chao circled the Ferrari F12TDF, taking in the carbon fiber decorations on the fenders, the three parallel air vents on the rear fenders, and the striking rear end, which had a visually compelling impact.

He opened the car door and sat inside, admiring the exquisite interior design. The red accents on the air vents of the air conditioning system added a touch of elegance, and the attention to detail was remarkable.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Chao exited the car, returned to the living room, and picked up the documents for One Park. Driving the sea-blue Ferrari F12TDF, he left the house and headed straight for The Palms Residence located on Binjiang Avenue in Lujiazui.

In less than half an hour, Zhou Chao arrived at the entrance of The Palms Residence, a luxurious and classical gate that exuded a hint of extravagance, making people hesitate.

Just as Zhou Chao was about to drive into the residential complex, he was stopped by the security guard stationed at the entrance. The security guard approached with a smile and asked, “Hello, sir. Whom are you looking for?” peering into the car at Zhou Chao.

As a security guard at The Palms Residence, he was well-versed in luxury cars. Seeing the rare Ferrari F12TDF in front of him, worth 8.9 million RMB, the security guard still dutifully stopped Zhou Chao.

“Hello, I am the owner of Building A. This is my first visit. Could you help me register and log the license plate?” Zhou Chao handed his property ownership certificate to the security guard.

The security guard took the documents, turned around, and said to Zhou Chao, “Sir, please wait a moment.” After quickly confirming with the property management, the security guard registered Zhou Chao’s information and returned the documents.

“Sir, our property management has arranged a dedicated property butler to wait for you in the lobby of Building A. She will assist you. Please follow me.” The security guard opened the entrance gate.

Shortly, Zhou Chao arrived at the parking garage of Building A. Since his duplex penthouse was located on the top floor of Building A, it came with eight parking spaces. Zhou Chao casually parked his car in one of his designated spots.

Taking the elevator down to the ground floor lobby, Zhou Chao saw a young woman, no older than 26, dressed in a sophisticated and professional OL uniform. Her attire accentuated her graceful figure, and her minimalistic makeup showcased a sense of professionalism and competence.

Just as Zhou Chao stepped out of the elevator, the female butler hurriedly approached him with quick steps, slightly bowing and saying, “Hello, Mr. Zhou. I am your property butler, Yang Mi. Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have any needs. Mr. Zhou, please follow me.”

Zhou Chao followed property butler Yang Mi into the elevator, and she pressed the button for the 44th floor. Zhou Chao caught a faint scent of perfume emanating from Yang Mi’s body. It smelled pleasant and didn’t cause any discomfort. The fragrance put him in a good mood.

Yang Mi turned around and said to Zhou Chao, “Mr. Zhou, our residential complex is equipped with a unique riverside clubhouse, which includes an indoor swimming pool, spa, café, fitness center, and private banquet halls. If you need anything, feel free to contact me for arrangements.”

They soon arrived on the 44th floor, and Zhou Chao’s eyes were met with a grand and luxurious German Noblesse hand-carved copper door. The door was adorned with exquisite crystals, complemented by a visual intercom system and fingerprint access, all from an internationally renowned brand.

Property butler Yang Mi took out the access card and registered Zhou Chao’s fingerprint password.

“Mr. Zhou, please keep your access card safe. If you have any needs, you can contact me anytime. Here is my business card.” Yang Mi handed Zhou Chao an exquisite business card, and he nodded and accepted it.
