Chapter 143 Chef God Candidate Examination, Character Card Fragment Quest Activated
Hakuto had just left the student council when Natsuki called him over.
Arriving at Natsuki's office, Hakuto looked at her with a flash of surprise.
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"
Natsuki looked at Hakuto, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned. The current Natsuki who appeared before Hakuto is in her adult form.
[Wow, my wife Natsuki has actually transformed into her adult form. But this isn't right, is it? Shouldn't my wife Natsuki's true body be sleeping in the prison? The one outside is just a clone. To reduce consumption, she appears in that young girl form. But what's going on with this adult form?]
Feeling Hakuto's inner shock, Natsuki felt a little proud. Thanks to the Temporal Cage she had received as a diary copy reward, Natsuki could now appear in her adult form. But she couldn't maintain it all the time.
"No, Natsuki-chan. You turning into this form just surprised me a little."
Hakuto said this, but internally he was already completely confused. He felt that the plot of this world was completely falling apart.
Crossing her legs, Natsuki suddenly asked Hakuto, "Between me and Kasumigaoka Utaha, whose legs are prettier?"
Hakuto: ???
Hakuto wondered if he had heard wrong. Natsuki actually asked him whose legs were prettier between her and Utaha?
Subconsciously, his gaze turned towards Natsuki's legs, which were wrapped in black stockings.
Quickly reacting, Hakuto withdrew his gaze, stared at Natsuki's pretty face, and showed a strange expression.
[Oh my god. my wife Natsuki actually asked me whose legs were prettier between her and Kasumigaoka Utaha. There's really no way to compare, since I haven't touched them with my own hands. But just looking at leg shape, my wife Natsuki and Kasumigaoka Utaha are similar, but Kasumigaoka Utaha is slightly better.]
[After all, that woman Kasumigaoka Utaha's legs are widely recognized. Any thicker would be fat. Kasumigaoka Utaha's legs can only be described as plump.]
[But even so, I still say, loli Natsuki-chan is the best!]
Natsuki looked at the person before her and sighed helplessly, 'This guy can't even take a hint.'
"The reason I called you here this time is for something important. I plan to have you take the examination for Chef God candidate. If there's anywhere in this world where the Bai Luo Family's inheritance and aged starter dough might still exist, it's the Great Ming Imperial Family. But even the cabinet can't force the imperial family to produce these things. Not even the imperial family themselves can use them at will."
Hakuto blinked, looking at Natsuki.
"Chef God candidates will receive all-out training from the Great Ming, with the goal of training a new Chef God. You know about the Nine Provinces Barrier, but do you know that the establishment of the Nine Provinces Barrier is closely related to the Chef God? Only the Chef God can repair and reinforce the Nine Provinces Barrier."
Natsuki began to explain.
The Nine Provinces Barrier was established by the Chef God enshrining the Divine Dragon. The Divine Dragon used its own power to lay out the barrier. But over time, the Nine Provinces Barrier gradually weakens.
To reinforce the Nine Provinces Barrier, a Chef God is required. The Chef God, together with the Legendary Cooking Utensils, can summon the Divine Dragon and then request the Divine Dragon to reinforce or re-lay the Nine Provinces Barrier.
The Chef God candidate system is a means of selecting Chef Gods. Each region has the right to recommend some candidates. After passing the examination and being confirmed as a Chef God candidate, they will receive extensive training.
Moreover, Chef God candidates can obtain one opportunity for help from the Great Ming Imperial Family.
Whether it's rare ingredients, various recipes, or anything else, as long as it's within reason, the Great Ming Imperial Family will help the Chef God candidate.
It can be said that becoming a Chef God candidate is equivalent to rising to prominence overnight.
Hakuto understood what Natsuki meant.
"So, Natsuki-chan, you hope that I will pass the Chef God candidate examination. Once I pass, I can use the power of the entire Great Ming to search for the Bai Luo Family's inheritance. Whether it's the aged starter dough or the Bai Luo Snake Coiling Chain, it will be easier than you searching for it yourself, right?"
Natsuki rolled her eyes at Hakuto.
"That's the meaning, but I don't like the way you say it."
"Hehe, it's the same thing, Natsuki-chan."
Hakuto narrowed his eyes, then fell into thought, 'Should I take the Chef God candidate examination?'
To be honest, Hakuto looked down on the status of a Chef God candidate. Could any training be as good as his diary rewards?
But he had to consider the convenience that Natsuki mentioned.
The Bai Luo Family's inheritance might be an opportunity.
[Character card upgrade fragment quest activated. Please pass the Chef God candidate examination. Passing the examination will reward you with character card upgrade fragment ×1.]
Previously, Hakuto's diary had rewarded a character card upgrade fragment quest, but it was inactive. Now it had suddenly activated, requiring Hakuto to pass the Chef God candidate examination.
Hakuto hadn't intended to refuse in the first place. Now that there was a quest, he was even less likely to refuse.
"Okay, Natsuki-chan. I agree. But I think my cooking skills are still a bit lacking."
Hakuto wasn't worried about Heart of Cooking, but his cooking skills were only at the beginner level.
"That's enough. Your basic skills are very solid. Passing the Chef God candidate examination shouldn't be a problem."
Natsuki had a clear understanding of Hakuto's cooking skills. The solid basic skills brought by his beginner-level cooking, combined with his Heart of Cooking and various creative recipes—if he couldn't pass with that, Natsuki would on the spot twist the heads off the judges.
"Okay. If you say it's fine, Natsuki-chan, then it's fine. You make the arrangements. Just call me when it's time for the examination."
[Completing the character card upgrade fragment quest will reward 1 fragment. After collecting 7 fragments, I can upgrade Liu Mao Xing's character card. An upgraded Liu Mao Xing character card will be at least at the Super Chef level. Then, whoosh, I'll take off.]
[But Chef God candidate... hmm. Chef God + Legendary Cooking Utensils to summon the Divine Dragon. But do they have the Legendary Cooking Utensils? As far as I know, one of the Legendary Cooking Utensils is currently in the Yagami Family, just not discovered by anyone. I'll find a chance to take it back. Although I'm not worried about it being found, I can't just leave it there. What if it gets lost and I can't find it?]
