Zongman: A Second Dimension Girl Comes to Me

Saturday, October 5.

At five o'clock in the morning, Duanmu Che was awakened by the alarm clock on time.

The first thing he did when he got up was to open the system and refresh it. His vitality value was restored from 0 to 100, but he did not gain any new talents.

But this is normal. According to the probability in his original mobile game, the probability of obtaining character talents is one percent. He was very lucky to obtain the two talents of [Photographic Memory] and [Charm] within a month of traveling through time.

After getting dressed and washing up, Duanmu Che went downstairs and came to the kitchen.

Yuedaoxuan is a commercial and residential property. The first floor is a restaurant open to the public, and the second floor is where the Duanmu family lives.

He opened the cupboard and took out a large box of potatoes, radishes and cabbages. These three kinds of vegetables were cheap and plentiful, with the price per pound ranging from a few dozen to one or two hundred yen. This month, he was relying on them to quickly improve his [Cooking] proficiency.

Duanmu Che took out a kitchen knife and cut the cabbage into neat thin strips, peeled the potatoes and cut them into small pieces, cut the radish in half in the middle and used a carving knife to cut grooves and carving patterns.

With the increase of vitality, the proficiency of cooking skills began to increase.

98%…99%…100%

Ding!

The system prompt sound indicating the upgrade sounds.

Master-level [Cooking Skills] achieved!

Duanmu Che closed his eyes, and all kinds of cooking mysteries and secrets flooded into his mind. The carving knife in his hand seemed to have a spirit, flying up and down on a piece of radish.

A minute passed.

He opened his eyes and saw a lifelike white crane standing with its wings spread.

"As expected of a master-level [cooking skill], the knife skills have improved qualitatively. Even a master chef who has been immersed in this art for decades can only do this well."

Duanmu Che took a look at the system panel.

There is a new branch skill [Favor of the God of Cookery] under the [Cooking] skill. This must be the additional bonus effect mentioned in the system appendix that will be obtained after the skill reaches the master level.

[Favored by the God of Cookery]: Your hard-working cooking skills have won the favor of the God of Cookery, increasing your cooking efficiency by 100% and improving the quality of ingredients by 50%. When eating dishes made with this skill, the eater can randomly gain various positive buffs such as excitement, increased concentration, increased energy, encouragement, etc.

"This branch's attached skill is too powerful."

After reading the skill description, Duanmu Che was pleasantly surprised. The improvement brought by reaching the master level in [Cooking Skills] far exceeded his expectations.

At the same time, there was a message "Constitution +2" on the system.

His physical fitness went from 9 to 11 points, no wonder he suddenly felt that the knife in his hand was lighter.

It was soon seven o'clock, and it was almost time for breakfast.

Duanmu Che made himself a bowl of plain noodles and took a bite of the noodles.

The chewy, glutinous and smooth noodles mixed with the fragrant scallion oil complement each other perfectly. You can taste the refreshing and delicious soup while enjoying the chewy and elastic noodles, which is very satisfying to eat.

Duanmu Che put down his chopsticks, feeling his blood boiling and an urge to do something immediately.

He opened the system panel, and there was an extra line of encouragement buff under the character, and the effect of the cooking was immediate.

“Although it’s just a simple bowl of plain noodles, with the [Favor of the God of Food], the quality of the ingredients has improved. With such cooking skills, Yuedaoxuan can definitely reopen for business.” Duanmu Che was full of confidence.

Even if there is only one week left, he is very confident that he can save Tsukishima Xuan.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Kato Megumi arrived on time.

Today is Saturday, and she is wearing beautiful casual clothes, a white dress with a pleated skirt and a fashionable red jacket, a light blue bow at the collar, and a soft white beret on her head. She has obviously dressed up carefully.

However, Duanmu Che, whose mind was on cooking, did not care about Kato Megumi's clothes and appearance. He still greeted her naturally as usual and asked her what she wanted to eat.

"What a piece of wood that doesn't understand romance."

Kato Megumi complained in her heart that she had spent so much effort on dressing up, but Duanmu Che didn't even praise her. It was like he was flirting with a blind man.

She ordered a Tianjin rice.

Tianjin rice, also known as crab rice bowl, is a very popular Chinese dish in Japan. It is a dish modified according to Japanese tastes and habits, just like General Tso's chicken which is popular in the United States.

When Tsukishimaken was still in business, Kato Megumi often came to the restaurant to eat.

The Tianjin rice cooked by Duanmu Yong, the father of Duanmu Che, can be said to be the signature dish of Tsukishimaken. There is an endless stream of returning customers who have tasted this dish.

Kato Hui was not very excited about Duanmu Che's cooking skills. After all, just a few days ago, she had tasted the dishes in Duanmu Che's lunch box. Although Duanmu Che's cooking skills were considered very good, there was still a big gap compared to Duanmu Yong.

"After the tasting is over, should we be more gentle in our comments?"

Just as Kato Megumi was thinking this, Duanmu Che's actions of processing the ingredients gradually attracted her attention.

Beat the eggs, prepare the sauce, chop the green onions, thicken with tomato sauce, add crab meat and crab roe, everything is in order, as smooth as flowing water, with a pleasing beauty.

five minutes later.

"Please enjoy."

Duanmu Che took off his apron and made the same movements as Soma Yukihira, the protagonist of the cooking manga "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma", and brought the golden, steaming Tianjin rice to Kato Megumi.

This is a dish that is both delicious and flavourful.

"It seems that Toru-kun's cooking skills have improved considerably."

This thought came to Kato Megumi's mind. She picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of Tianjin rice from the edge of the bowl, and put it into her mouth.

In an instant, her beautiful eyes widened and the expression on her face became unusually rich.

Soft and tender eggs, sweet and sour sauce, and rice of the right hardness and softness. The various flavors spread on her tongue, stimulating her taste buds and nerves.

She felt that Duanmu Che's Tianjin rice was no less delicious than Duanmu Yong's, and even tasted better.

Kato Megumi scooped another spoonful and savored it carefully. Her eyes turned red and her nose felt a little sour. As she ate, a few tears actually slid down her cheeks.

"Oh, am I crying?"

Kato Megumi wiped her eyes, looking a little at a loss.

"It's onions. I added onions." Duanmu Che said seriously.

In fact, after Kato Megumi tasted the food he made, it should have triggered a positive buff such as healing and touching that made her cry.

"Tetsu-kun, how come your cooking skills have become so amazing?"

Kato Megumi felt it was incredible that Duanmu Che's cooking skills had undergone a qualitative change in such a short period of time.

"Maybe it's the quantitative change that leads to the qualitative change. My efforts in honing my cooking skills for so long have finally paid off." Duanmu Che said vaguely without further explanation. This was the system's credit.
