Sometimes, when breaking through a secret realm and wanting to complete a task, in addition to your own efforts, it is also important to take advantage of the situation.
Just like the secret breakthrough realm that Lu Ran and others entered, even if Infinite City did not arrange the status of restaurant apprentices from the beginning, they themselves would have to find a place to learn from their masters.
As for other tasks, in the same way, breaking through the secret realm is just like a real world. Every life has its own thinking. It is possible for some beautiful beastmasters to sell their looks and embrace the lap of a strong person quickly. Accumulated foundation.
What is important is a very high degree of freedom.
But then again, Lu Ran was selling his "natural potential" to seduce people from the secret realm to invest.
"Okay, go ahead and cut it~" Shopkeeper Long has a good vision. After more than half a month of investment, the investment will be in vain.
But half a month later, this world will disappear, but it won’t really be like that...
"Okay." Lu Ran continued to devote himself to cutting fruits.
Time passed little by little, and the lively banquet was about to end. Many guests ate delicious food, watched the battle, and enjoyed soul-cooling fruits before and after the meal. They had a very nourishing day today.
The grand banquet for Ningchuan City Lord's breakthrough was over, and the Shuangyuelou group also began to return home.
After such an episode, there is only one week left before the Gourmet Hunter Association's special chef assessment is held.
Lu Ran and others didn't have much time to improve their cooking skills. In order to pass the level or get better rewards, they exercised even more intensely.
That night, Lu Ran got a little book from shopkeeper Long.
It is the secret book of practice of measured sword technique.
The so-called measured knife technique is not a move, but more like a practice method that uses specific postures to develop the brain, exercise muscles, and improve the brain's control of force.
Lu Ran looked at the weird movements in the little book and fell into deep thought. Why did he look like a primary and middle school student's radio gymnastics...
…
"Huhu~" "Huhu~~"
In the next few days, in order to help Lu Ran practice his knife skills and to let Lu Ran learn more about ingredients, the ingredients sent from Shuangyue Tower were not just cheap fruits and vegetables.
All kinds of high-end meat, even rare meat, and even many whole beasts that had just died, began to be sent to Lu Ran to practice his knife skills.
Shopkeeper Long originally thought that this process would waste a lot of ingredients, but maybe it was because his ancestors were hunters and had to do butchering. Lu Ran was very talented at doing this kind of thing, so it didn't cause too much waste, and he got started quickly. .
In the past few days, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha's training content has included the practice of measured knife skills. Every morning when they get up, they must first do a few sets of radio gymnastics.
There are a few episodes in the boring training content. For example, the son of the city lord came to visit in person one day. He found out from somewhere that Lu Ran would only study in Shuangyue Tower for half a month before leaving to take the special chef examination.
He wanted to invite Lu Ran. After the assessment, he would see if he could join the Ningchuan City Lord's Mansion.
Now, the Lord of Ningchuan City has broken through level five, and his pet beast has exceeded level 50. He is considered a powerful person. There is no problem in hiring a special chef who knows how to cook at home.
Faced with such a warm invitation, Lu Ran couldn't help but face the other party, so he could only deal with it diplomatically by not accepting or rejecting it.
"Ningchuan City Lord is generous and generous, but after passing the special chef assessment, I still want to go to the Dragon Valley, the Holy Land of Chefs, to experience the power of the Holy Dragon that protects the country, and see if I have the talent to become a dragon chef."
"This is also the reason why I chose the Qingling Fruit to increase my understanding... If I can return smoothly, I will consider your invitation."
"That's it, that's it!" The son of Ningchuan City Lord realized.
The next day, the City Lord's Mansion sent three more Qingling Fruits, hoping to help Lu Ran.
"..." Lu Ran continued silently. Sure enough, there are still many good people everywhere, but Lu Ran can only say that investing in this bowl of water is indeed risky and you need to be cautious...
Unless something goes wrong in Infinite City and the system is paralyzed, otherwise, when the time comes, he will definitely be teleported away. This wave of investment from the City Lord's Palace can only be regarded as a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return.
…
The banquet ends, seven days later.
In order to go to the Food Hunters Association in Canglan Province, Lu Ran and others are about to set off.
Shopkeeper Long came out to see them off in person. She was not sure about the future of the six people.
"Let's go, let's go~" The graceful shopkeeper Taki said with a smile: "I hope that by then, I can hear the good news that all six of you have passed the examination~"
"Shop Manager Long, thank you for taking care of me in the past half month." Lu Ran said before leaving.
"You just use money to do things. You have paid the tuition, so Shuangyue Tower will naturally fulfill its responsibilities."
Among the six people, except Lu Ran, the other five were not at ease and were not sure yet.
They also said goodbye to Shopkeeper Taki one by one, knowing that they might not come back after leaving.
"Let's go." The six of them rode the rented Qianliju, looked at each other, and started heading towards Canglan City, the center of the province.
On the way, there were no other people, and a few people started chatting again.
Shepi said: "I said that the assessment will be over in two days. At that time, we will have more than ten days of free exploration time. Do you have any arrangements?"
"No matter whether you can pass the test or not, you have to make good use of these ten days."
Ibeth said: "I won't do anything too dangerous. Why is this donkey so tough?"
"It kind of rhymes, but it's not a donkey, it's a horse." The mountain explorer said happily: "The first time you ride a horse, you will always feel a little uncomfortable. Just ride it, you can't ride your own cat."
"Hey~" Ibeth sighed, the BMW was still comfortable to drive.
"In addition, I would like to recommend a way for you to make a fortune. Every major city has that kind of antique market, do you understand? It's just searching for treasure in a pile of garbage. Under normal circumstances, you will definitely suffer a loss, but let's try The refiner has an eye for novice welfare data, maybe he can find treasures!" said the mountain explorer.
"I've thought about it too." He said that the deer is like a horse, and this can be regarded as a strategy recommended by the old man on the beast control forum to newcomers.
"Passenger A, what do you think?" Bai Ling asked Xiang Luran, wanting to know what his plans were.
At this time, as the horse galloped down, Lu Ran was still looking at the scenery along the official road. He thought for a while and said: "I heard that the gourmet hunter associations in each province have recommendation quotas and will select the best talents in the current period." The examiners recommended several holy places for practicing cooking skills for potential training, and I will definitely go for this spot."
Dragon Nest... I wonder if there is a chance!
Several people:?
"Damn, you're already ranked first." They were still worried about whether they could pass.
Having the will to cook means being willful, right?
"Okay..." Bai Ling knew that this would be the answer, and couldn't help but be speechless. She then said: "Then regardless of whether I can pass or not, I will find another place to learn cooking."
Since this breakthrough secret realm is for the trialists to practice their cooking skills, Bai Ling feels that Lu Ran's choice is right, so he will go all the way to the dark side. Anyway, if he masters good cooking skills, he will not suffer any loss, and it will be more convenient in the future. Breed your own pet beast.
Moreover, the risk is low. For trainee beast masters, even if the secret realm is highly exploitable, there are only a few places that they can explore.
…
On the same day, several people arrived at Canglan City and checked into an inn. As for the registration and assessment, Shuangyue Tower had already passed the recommendation letter and signed up for several people one by one a few days ago.
All they need to do is go to the assessment venue early tomorrow morning for the first round of preliminaries.
At that time, the candidates will be decided through a competition in cooking skills.
It was still early. After Lu Ran arrived at Canglan City, he did not stay at the inn. Instead, he went to find a place and used the money he earned in the past few days to buy another Qingling Fruit.
Collected seven fruits.
As for the few remaining coins, Lu Ran planned to use them as money and didn't spend any more.
"I wonder what's going on with Fang Lan..." At this time, Fang Lan must have been in the secret breakthrough realm for a while, and Lu Ran was worried about her situation.
Will he also encounter a weird secret realm like his own?
If Fang Lan also encountered the chef's secret realm, Lu Ran would be worried about the lives of her diners...
…………
The secret breakthrough realm where Fang Lan is located.
Like Lu Ran, he was also in the Star-Moon Continent and the Beast Control Empire.
However, it was a completely different time period from Lu Ran.
During this period, because there were no more powerful figures like the first-generation emperor, the Hunting God, and the second-generation emperor, the cook ancestor, and the soldier ancestor, the empire's control over various places gradually declined.
Various folk beast-controlling forces emerge one after another, and there are many sects and gangs.
At this moment, Fang Lan is in a gang, staring at the small map issued by Infinite City every day.
[Breakthrough mission: Kill other trialists, kill the top three, and get a chance to break through. 19/20. 】
[Tips ①: The trialist who dies in this mission will not really die, and will return to normal after 30 days. 】
[Tip ②: Temporarily obtain the coordinates of all trial participants. 】
[Tip ③:……]
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Fang Lan had a headache. Although it may be because of the protection mechanism for newbies, killing each other in this secret breakthrough realm will not really lead to death, but he is serious about letting himself, a novice, go through such a cruel secret breakthrough realm. Of?
I don't know what the situation is like on Lu Ran's side...whether it will be so cruel.
Currently, there are 19 people who entered this secret breakthrough realm with Fang Lan. Now, one person has been eliminated. In fact, these people all do the same thing, quickly joining a force, on the one hand, to seek power to protect themselves, and on the other hand, to use it. The foundation of these forces enhances their own strength.
Each trialist is looking for ways to quickly improve his status in his own force... In this way, he may even be able to kill other competitors without having to take action himself.
In desperation, Fang Lan carefully selected a beast-controlling gang called "Gu God Cult" that specializes in poison to join.
Not to mention, with the knowledge of toxicology summarized from various eras in modern times, Fang Lan can be said to be in the Gu God Cult like a fish in water. The leader of the Poisonous Woman takes him very seriously... and is even equipped with personal guards.
"Lord Saint, recently there have been more and more gangs in the domain inquiring about your information. Our Gu God Cult has always been disliked in the Qing Territory. The news that you have become the new Saint may have been exposed. I am afraid that there is a Gu. The enemies of the divine religion will be detrimental to you, so it’s best not to go out these days.” A veiled woman reported.
"I..." Fang Lan knew that those who wanted to harm her were probably not natives, but mostly other trialists. She curled her lips and said: "No, I want to go out... call more people tomorrow and bring more Gu insects. , I want to see who is planning on me and see if I can catch a few unlucky guys!"
