Continuing along the path, Amber saw that Mondstadt was not far away. She noticed that not far from Mondstadt, a familiar-looking girl dressed in green adventurer's clothes was sitting in front of an iron pot that was bubbling.

Paimon said at the right moment: "Huh? What are you doing over there... It smells so good!"

Amber walked closer, and after seeing the girl's face clearly, she recognized that she was Lin, the [Survival Expert] of the Adventurer's Association, whom she had met several times in real life.

The reason why Amber knew Lin was because Lin had lived in the wild for a long time. In reality, Amber, who often went out of the city to perform Knights' missions, had met her by chance.

At that time, Amber curiously asked Lin what she was doing in the wild.

Lin replied that she was doing a [wilderness survival challenge].

Although Amber, who got the answer, still doesn't understand the significance of Lin's challenge, she does admire her courage and perseverance.

This is why Amber was able to recognize the other person so quickly even though she had only met him a few times.

At this time.

When Lin in the game noticed Amber and Paimon approaching, she immediately spoke: "What should we cook next... Hmm? Are you adventurers from nearby too?"

The blonde girl, who was already showing signs of becoming mute, chose to remain silent. Paimon, who was speaking on the side, said familiarly, "It's a traveler passing by. Are you preparing to cook?"

Lin seemed very talkative. "Welcome, traveler. I am Lin, a survival expert from the Adventurer's Guild. As you can see, I am studying cooking. After all, [eat well before travelling] is the first rule of [wilderness survival rules]."

Paimon suddenly got the key words: "Picnic! I like it too. My travel companion is also good at cooking, right?"

Huh? Am I good at cooking?

Amber was a little confused when Paimon suddenly mentioned her. She looked at the two dialogue options that appeared on the screen, and after hesitating for a long time, she had to choose the first one.

[Only the simplest ones...]

In fact, in real life, Amber can't even cook the simplest dishes...

Lin was still very enthusiastic: "It's okay, the pot is already set up, let me show you your cooking skills! It's rare to have a chance to be personally taught by a survival expert! I put some mushrooms and meat in the bucket over there, try to make me a [Wild Mushroom Chicken Kebab]."

Huh? I still need to cook?!

Amber was not expecting this. She recalled the bad experience she had once when she tried to grill steak but ended up only burnt the surface while the inside was not cooked through. She wanted to reject Lin, but the game did not give her the option to reject.

"Boss Su, can I not cook?"

"Are you worried that you can't cook well?" Su Li consoled her with a smile, "Cooking in the game is actually much easier than cooking in real life. You don't need to worry about the heat and time to make delicious dishes. You should give it a try."

Is it possible not to consider the heat?

Amber felt a little relieved after hearing this: "Well... okay..."

Picking up the mushrooms and poultry from the wooden barrel nearby, Amber walked over to the iron pot with her head held high. After hesitating for a long time, she finally pressed the [Cook] button.

[Dish: Wild mushroom chicken skewers★]

[Ingredients required: Mushroom 6/1, Poultry 4/1]

[Proficiency 0/5]

[Manual cooking]

Following the game instructions, Amber clicked the manual cooking button, and the next moment, an arc-shaped progress bar suddenly appeared in the center of the screen.

The clock began to tick, and a pointer moved across the arc-shaped progress bar. Looking at the only eye-catching golden area in the arc-shaped progress bar, Amber reacted quickly and subconsciously pressed the [End] button when the pointer passed through the golden area of ​​the progress bar.

[Perfect]

[Food Obtained: Wild Mushroom Chicken Skewers x1]

"Ah? It's already... done?!"

Amber exclaimed belatedly.

She never thought that cooking could be so simple and convenient.

"See, I told you cooking in the game is easy." Seeing Amber's shocked expression, Su Li couldn't help but laugh.

"This is too easy..." Amber stared blankly at the chicken skewers she had just made on the screen.

If only it were this easy to make delicious dishes in real life...

Amber thought.

After all, making delicious food in real life has always been one of her wishes.

With experience and confidence, Amber made two more wild mushroom chicken skewers. Noticing Su Li's puzzled look, Amber smiled and explained, "There are three of us, Lin, me, and Paimeng. It's only reasonable for each of us to have one chicken skewer."

……

After tasting the food Amber made, Lin gave Amber high praise.

"Mmm! It's unexpectedly delicious. You really are talented!"

Paimon, who was drooling at the sidelines as he watched Lin eat heartily, immediately said, "Hey, hey, I'm right, right?"

After finishing the meal.

Lin gave Amber some raw ingredients as a reward for the meal, and told Amber where she could get more ingredients or food.

"You can collect a lot of food when you explore the wild, so you can keep an eye out for it. The [Deer Hunter] restaurant will also sell food and dishes, so go and have a look when you have time."

Paimon, who was only interested in eating, said gratefully, "Yeah, thank you for the information... Hey! Leave some of the [Wild Mushroom Chicken Skewers] for me!"

Amber, who had already mastered the cooking skills in the game, opened the cooking interface again after the conversation and cooked all the rewarded ingredients.

[Proficiency: 5/5]

[Wild Mushroom Chicken Skewers] Automatic cooking unlocked.

Automatic cooking?

After studying the new function buttons, Amber quickly realized that automatic cooking is a function that can make multiple dishes at one time.

“This is so convenient!”

Amber, who always worried about what to eat whenever she went out of town on a mission, expressed her envy.

It's a pity that such a simple and convenient way of making food can only be realized in the game...

After saying goodbye to Lin, Amber continued to travel to Mondstadt with Paimon.

Perhaps because she experienced the joy of cooking, along the way, Amber always used the bow and arrows in the game to turn the sparrows jumping on the roadside into pieces of poultry meat, which she then put into her backpack.

Unfortunately, there were few birds on the roadside. Amber worked hard for half a day but only harvested five or six pieces of poultry.

"It would be nice if there were birds gathered together somewhere..."

As Amber was thinking about this, she unknowingly came to the stone bridge of Mondstadt. She looked up inadvertently and suddenly saw a group of plump pigeons strolling on the bridge in front of her...

"Oh my god! That's a lot of poultry!"

Amber, who had already collected the ingredients, had his eyes shining and raised his bow to shoot.

call out!

The arrow flew through the air, and an unlucky pigeon that was chosen died on the spot and turned into poultry meat.

"Hmm... the attack range of the bow and arrow is so small..."

Amber was a little disappointed when she saw that only one pigeon was turned into meat while the other pigeons all flew away.

Perhaps because Amber only had eyes for poultry, she didn't notice that there was a pair of angry eyes staring at her in the corner of the bridge.
