Chapter 193
The system displayed, "Follow-up of the side mission has been release . "


[2nd Side Mission] Make an artwork out of sculpting with a full score
(Mission Tips: As a to-be Master Chef, sculpting with kitchen knife is a piece of cake . I think highly of you, young man . Move, move . )
[Mission Reward] A piece of the Master Chef Set
(Reward Tips: if you can gather all the pieces of the Master Chef Set, you might be able to summon a grand prize . )
"Ho Ho . Is the grand prize a magic dragon?" Yuan Zhou supported his forehead and felt quite speechless .
The system displayed, "Host, please don’t make any unrealistic speculations . "
"It’s mainly because the system is much too scheming . What’s the Master Chef Set this time?" The expectations of Yuan Zhou were not high . After all, kitchenware like spoon or chopsticks didn’t conform to his expectations at all although they were quite good .
"Is it a hat? The chef’s hat?" Yuan Zhou thought for a while and asked .
The system displayed, "The reward of Master Chef Set is a Miracle Kitchen Knife . "
"It turned out to be true . But what does ‘miracle’ mean?" Yuan Zhou revealed an expression of "It really is" . Yet, when he looked at it carefully, the Miracle Kitchen Knife was slightly different from what he had imagined . Therefore, he asked curiously .
The system displayed, "It is temporarily unknown . "
"I have no comment," Yuan Zhou, who was attentively waiting for the answer, became instantly speechless .
It was just like what the Hong Kong police would answer when they were asked by the journalists about any criminal cases in the plot of Hong Kong movies .


The response of the system made Yuan Zhou recall those classic words instantly .
However, the system didn’t have any reaction . There was only silence .
"Forget it . It’s supposed to be known after I complete the mission," Yuan Zhou felt he had practiced the sculpting skills to the utmost perfection previously and this mission was definitely to be accomplished within only a few minutes .
Although there wasn’t any introduction to the specific functions of the kitchen knife provided by the system, but the word ‘miracle’ could definitely bring a taste-free effect to the knife . That way, the dishes served could be improved by one point, which was really not too little .
After all, Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills were originally at a supreme level; therefore, it was really difficult for him to further improve .
It was like that a Kungfu Master who had practiced a martial art to its utmost perfection and could hardly improve it anymore .
Yuan Zhou began to play with the kitchen knife to get used to the knife provided by the system .
The system suddenly uttered something when Yuan Zhou took out the radish and prepared to practice his sculpting skills with the kitchen knife .
The system displayed, "The ingredients have been provided . Host, you can check and use them in the kitchen . "
To Yuan Zhou who was right in the kitchen, he just needed to turn his head and have a look .
Having turned around, however, Yuan Zhou was immediately severely scared .
"Is this the radish you provide? Can this even be still called radish?" Yuan Zhou calmed down first and then asked .
The system displayed, "Host, you are required to complete the sculpture of ten points with the ingredients provided by the system . You can take it out of the restaurant, yet only within the scope of 1 meter around . "
"You might as well tell me directly that it can be placed at the door only," Yuan Zhou speechlessly looked at the big thing in his sight .


Yes, the big thing was a radish . It was just that the radish itself exceeded Yuan Zhou’s height and reached almost 2m . With the leaves of the radish, it could be at least 3m .
Now Yuan Zhou only wanted to say, "It isn’t a radish, but is a radish spirit . "

"System, didn’t the authority regulate no spirits are allowed to come into existence after the republic was founded? Is it really alright to get such a big radish?" Yuan Zhou couldn’t help grumbling and didn’t know at all where this big thing came from .
Luckily, the radish was white and tender all over and looked well-moisturized, seemingly easy to be sculpted . Otherwise, Yuan Zhou would have become quite speechless .
The system displayed, "Host, please complete the mission earnestly . "
"Sorry, I have never seen such a big radish," Yuan Zhou grumbled while looking at the radish in front of him expressionlessly .
Yuan Zhou started to walk in circles surrounding the radish . He was very curious how this radish stood upright as the lower part was pointed .
Then, he witnessed the resourcefulness of the system .
The big radish was inserted in a perfectly-sized hole and had a round base outside . Fixed in that way, it wouldn’t fall .
He looked at the time . It was 2:40 p . m . and there were still a few hours before he opened the restaurant for dinner . Yuan Zhou wanted to complete the mission immediately during the period of time .
Yuan Zhou was fairly confident about making a sculpture of ten points, even if he had to use a kitchen knife .
"Hu," having taken a deep breath and exhaled, Yuan Zhou took up the kitchen knife and started to wave it .
With the "Hua Hua" sound lingering in his ears, the radish chips fell continually onto the ground beside his feet . Yuan Zhou wasn’t actually distracted by that and just concentrated on the sculpting .
The volume of the radish was indeed too big . Only after forty minutes did Yuan Zhou finish the work .
Since it was taller than a person and, moreover, was a slender radish, being wide at the upper part and thin at the lower part, it was just perfect for sculpting a phoenix tree .
Yuan Zhou had abundant experiences in sculpting the phoenix tree . It was also him who thought of sculpting a radish of a phoenix dwelling in a phoenix tree in the dish Phoenix Tail Prawns .
As time went by, a phoenix tree full of leaves and branches came into being under Yuan Zhou’s diligent work while crawling up and down .
"It looks fairly nice . There should be no more problem," Yuan Zhou set down the kitchen knife and swung his arms as he said confidently .
After resting for a while, Yuan Zhou said, "System, you can score it now . "
The system displayed, "The overall rating was 3 points . "
"You must be mistaken . What the hell do you mean three points?" Yuan Zhou stared at the score for three minutes before he asked .
The system displayed, "The full score is 12 points . Host, you get three points for the sculpture this time . "
Fearing that Yuan Zhou couldn’t understand, the score of three points were made in bold font when it was shown .
"I can’t say my sculpture deserves twelve points, but 10 points shouldn’t be a problem," as a chef who had his own pride, Yuan Zhou definitely had his air of arrogance .
The system displayed, "Host, please watch it carefully and then give an objective mark . "
After that, the system further presented a three-dimensional picture of Yuan Zhou’s sculpture so that he could observe it more carefully .
The proverb of "being unable to see the wood for the trees" applied to Yuan Zhou well . The radish was truly too big and Yuan Zhou couldn’t see all the parts at the same time . Therefore, he always had a feeling that he did a good work . When he saw the panorama, however, Yuan Zhou instantly wilted .
When he watched the seemingly bright and limpid phoenix tree carefully and closely, Yuan Zhou found the distribution of the branches wasn’t good enough . The main branch was even thinner than some lateral branches . As for the allocation of the leaves, it also appeared to be messy now .
Even the root hairs below were not allocated well . Due to the size of the kitchen knife, the veins in the leaf were likewise not exquisite .
For the work of sculpture, it was not the smaller, the harder . Identically, the bigger, the tougher . After all, it was difficult for him to take care of the tiny parts .
With the appearance, the phoenix tree was sculpted as if it was poorly developed . Even he himself was unable to see it directly . His work really deserved the three points .
"Is there any specific score?" after quite a while, Yuan Zhou asked while looking at the radish of phoenix tree in front of him .
The system displayed, "The frequent carving methods include rilievo, round carving, engraving carving, shadow engraving, hollow engraving and openwork carving, etc . Every carving method required some sculpting techniques, which could only be achieved through long-term training .
"Host, you get no points on aspects of compositions, proportion and color matching . "
"Composition, proportion . . . Come on, I’m not an Arts and Crafts Master," Yuan Zhou sighed helplessly .
Yuan Zhou was quite confident about the simple collocations, but his level of appreciation was merely ordinary .
On aspects of things related to the genuine arts, he was, nevertheless, a layman .
"It seems I need to find a teacher to learn something about it . " Looking at the disastrous work of sculpture in front of him, Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of Wu Hai .
He was a painter as well as an artist . There should be no problem to learn from him .
Eventually, Yuan Zhou made up his mind and prepared to ask him .
However, it was yet a problem whether or not Wu Hai would teach him . . .
