Reborn in Japan as a Chef God-Chapter 34 - Physique Enhancement Crystal

Moreover, in such a special space, he felt neither fatigue nor hunger, allowing him to immerse himself wholeheartedly in the world of cooking.

If, after such ascetic practice, his culinary skills hadn’t made a great leap, Xia Yu really might have slammed his head into a block of tofu.

In the real world, only a day and night had passed.

But now, confidence brimmed in Xia Yu’s eyes, unlike the anxiousness he felt yesterday while planning the menu for the following week.

Even for a picky professional chef and diner like ‘Divine Tongue’ Tiqie Helinai, Xia Yu felt confident to satisfy their appetite with homemade dishes.

“System, the host has an unclaimed reward.”

“Reward?”

Xia Yu instinctively slapped his forehead and remembered that during his practice in the Chef God Space over these days, several of his homemade dishes had received a score of 90 from the system.

A surprise reward?

He clearly remembered the words of the system when he first entered the Chef God Space.

Xia Yu found himself quite expectant, “Then I’ll claim it!”

“The host’s culinary level has been raised to lv9.”

“The host’s ‘Basic Knife Skills’ talent points have increased to 5 points (max 10).”

“The host’s ‘Basic Heat Control’ talent points have increased to 5 points (max 10).”

“The host’s ‘Basic Seasoning’ talent points have increased to 2 points (max 10).”

“The host’s ‘Ingredient Identification’ talent points have increased to 2 points (max 10).”

Just this?

He pouted.

The rise in culinary level was entirely within Xia Yu’s expectations.

You know, for every dish he made that received a passing score of over 60, he would gain culinary experience.

Although only a night had passed in reality, he had spent a solid twelve days in the Chef God Space, not knowing how many qualifying dishes he had cooked.

Under devilish training, the improvement in basic skills of knife work, heat control, seasoning, and ingredient identification was only natural.

Basic skills could be accumulated and improved through practice and did not necessarily rely on talent points.

Using the talent points obtained through culinary level upgrades to boost basic skills was essentially taking a shortcut.

Looking back now, Xia Yu felt like he might have wasted those precious talent points by allocating them to basic skills.

He hadn’t forgotten that at lv10, talent points could be allocated to [Heart of Cooking].

This was the powerful ability bestowed upon him by the Chef God System.

If the level was high, he believed it could rival talents like Divine Tongue and Divine Nose among Divine-level Chefs.

“From lv6 to lv9, I’ll save the 3 talent points obtained for now.”

“I’ll reach lv10 soon, then accumulate 4 talent points and allocate all of them to [Heart of Cooking].

The dishes I make will undoubtedly surpass the standard of an IGO one-star chef, directly challenging the two-star and three-star level of the Ten Masters of Far Moon.”

Xia Yu thought to himself.

“System, these are the normal rewards, is there nothing else?” He frowned and asked.

“The surprise rewards have been added to your item inventory space.”

Oh?

Raising an eyebrow, Xia Yu curiously retrieved an amber-colored crystal from the inventory, extracting the information, “‘Physique Enhancement Crystal’?”

“How do I use it?”

“The host can use it directly.”

How straightforward!

Xia Yu’s lips twitched.

He inwardly commanded to use it, and whoa, it seemed he heard the roar of a tiger in his ears.

Simultaneously, a surge of heat flowed through his limbs and body, finally converging in his heart.

Thump!

Thump!

The powerful and vigorous heartbeat made Xia Yu feel stronger than ever before.

Rolling up his sleeves and clenching his fist, although his bicep didn’t seem to change, Xia Yu knew that his arms felt as if they had undergone one or two months of rigorous training, carrying sandbags and heavy objects every day.

Now, even wielding a large wok to stir-fry dishes would be effortless.

A strong physique was indispensable for a chef.

Xia Yu was delighted with the changes in his body, though the more detailed changes would require time to discover and become familiar with.

He called up the character panel.

“Host: Xia Yu.

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Comprehensive Physical Fitness: lv20 (Strength, Agility, Burst, Nerve Reflexes, etc.)

Overall Culinary Skills: lv9 [Novice Start]

…”

Physical fitness directly jumped from lv9 to lv20?

Xia Yu was a bit dumbfounded.

This physique enhancement crystal was indeed worthy of being described as a surprise!

“Open the door, open the door!”

“Brat!”

The shouts coming from outside the window made Xia Yu’s mind go blank for a moment.

Those two foodies came again?

Xia Yu went downstairs to open the door and was stunned.

It wasn’t just An Ya and Mu Xiaoyue, but at least over twenty people were gathered at the store entrance, a black mass covering the light.

Startled.

Not knowing what led to this, Xia Yu quickly pulled An Ya and Mu Xiaoyue into the store, immediately shutting the door with a bang, ignoring the noisy calls outside.

“What’s going on?” He crossed his arms and suspiciously eyed the two girls.

“I don’t know.”

Mu Xiaoyue spread her hands, wearing an innocent expression.

“I asked some college students in English, and it seems they heard about this restaurant online, so they came by the address…”

Saying this, Mu Xiaoyue gave a thumbs up and continued, “You’re really great at promoting!

I was just worrying about how to help you attract customers since your business was so quiet!”

“Promoting?

I didn’t have time to do any of this!” Xia Yu shook his head.

Until yesterday, he thought his culinary skills were lacking and not solid, fearing that marketing would only bring ridicule.

Now, after spending twelve days in the Chef God Space, his mindset had been honed sharp.

“Huh?”

Mu Xiaoyue was also a bit dazed and when she saw Xia Yu turn to leave, she hurriedly grabbed him, exclaiming, “So many customers have come, and you’re not going to entertain them?”

“Miss, please look at the business hours.

Our little shop only opens at six in the afternoon!” Xia Yu waved his hand, yawned, and went upstairs to freshen up, leaving An Ya and Mu Xiaoyue dumbfounded.

Not doing business when it comes knocking on the door?

So arrogant!

Mu Xiaoyue was amused and helpless, realizing she was more anxious than the emperor himself.

She feared Xia Yu’s exemplary culinary skills would go unappreciated, but he either didn’t care or was extremely confident.

Standing nearby, An Ya said, “Since it only opens at six in the evening, we can’t let the customers wait from noon until afternoon.

I’ll go talk to them and suggest they come by next time during the evening.”

Thus, An Ya opened the door and slowly explained in English.

The crowd outside the store consisted of young people ranging from thirteen or fourteen to their early twenties.

Most understood, and those who didn’t sought clarification from their companions, all realizing they had come too early.

“What?

Turns out it’s an evening business.”

“It’s all because Tianfeng didn’t clarify; I’ll definitely complain on Twitter when I get back!”

Some left disappointed, while others chose to stay.
