Chapter 170: Upgrading!

“Gee? This is…”

Yun Xi’s every movement looked holy and mysterious in Lu Lu’s eyes . When he reached out his fingers (which were covered with mist) and started to do something to the flour, she firmly remembered every step in her heart . However, she couldn’t understand what Yun Xi was doing .

Of course she couldn’t understand . Yun Xi’s skill was the most consummate skill that was summarized by countless bakers across thousands of years . It was the crystal of wisdom inherited by bakers from one generation to another . People who hadn’t reached this rank could never understand it .

A third-ranked baker could already be regarded as a master in the mortal world . Even though a third-ranked baker wouldn’t be as strong as a third-ranked swordsman, their skill would still far surpass ordinary people’s imagination . In fact, a third-ranked baker was rarer than a third-ranked swordsman, because ordinary people wouldn’t continue pouring their energy, time and enthusiasm simply for becoming a third-ranked baker .

As a third-ranked swordsman, you would have endless glory, wealth and power . However, if you were a third-ranked baker… not only that, including painter, musician and pharmacist, in ordinary people’s eyes, you were just a “human” who had perfect technique .

As long as you were talented in battle, even if you could only reach the first or the second rank, your status would be higher than that of a person who had achieved a third-ranked non-combat career .

Only the people who had poured their hearts into their careers would have the chance to reach the third rank in their careers . Yun Xi was the only third-ranked baker in the small town’s history where he was born . After he completed the baker’s third-ranked professional certification, countless nobles and rich men had sent out invitations to him, trying to recruit him to be their chef .

Even if it were in the outside world, a third-ranked baker was pretty rare, not to mention in Water God’s world . Water God’s world wasn’t as peaceful as it seemed . Pharmacists were popular due to the danger in this world . As for the people who were good at making food… they were very rare .

In other words, Yun Xi was the only third-ranked baker in this world . He could even call himself “the best cook” in this world .

…

I understand! So that is what it is!

Controlling the mist, Yun Xi could feel that he was in excellent condition . Everything originates from water . Water is the most subtle part in food that can influence people’s taste buds, and bread wasn’t an exception .

Now, with the power of his Water God’s Mask, Yun Xi could even control the water molecules in the dough . He was like a person who was using a cheat and could remove all flaws from the raw materials perfectly .

It should be more water molecules here .

There are impurities . Reject them .

Ok, the proportion is perfect . I shouldn’t change it .

For the first time, Yun Xi used the power of his Water God’s Mask to make bread .

He was brainstorming . Countless ideas were emerging in his heart like a fountain . He suddenly understood the parts he felt confused about when he made bread in the past .

The essence of cooking was to use water, fire, and raw materials in a proper way . The best chef could make a perfect dish with the simplest seasonings and freshest food ingredients . It was a general rule to all cooking-class careers . If you could release the food’s natural delicate flavour, you could make the mortal world’s best food .

As a third-ranked baker, Yun Xi had touched this realm a long time ago . The butter bread he made even contained a special effect that could restore a person’s physical strength strikingly when eaten . He had reached a mortal’s limits . However, something had been changed now . With the power of Water God’s Mask, he was surpassing a mortal’s limits .

“Water molecules, accelerate!”

Yun Xi knew how to handle raw materials well with ease . However, he didn’t put the semi-finished dough into the oven but started heating the dough in an incredible way .

A large number of water molecules moved fast and vibrated at a high frequency on Yun Xi’s hands, toasting the dough perfectly and evenly . As Lu Lu gazed at him in surprise, the white dough gradually became golden, spreading a tempting scent in the air .

Is this Water God’s divine power? Why did the dough suddenly become big in the apostle’s hands and emanate a pleasant scent? What is happening?

“I can actually do it in this way…” Yun Xi also felt shocked after seeing his idea come true . No, it wasn’t a skill that could be learned by mortals . Whether it was the preparation method of the raw materials or the way to accelerate water molecules, the two techniques were far surpassed a mortal’s limit .

“Bang!” At the moment the first loaf of bread formed, countless information suddenly appeared in Yun Xi’s mind . They were his perception to the world’s nature and his understanding about super powers . The world had changed in his eyes .

It was the so-called “transcendence” . From now on, he wasn’t a mortal anymore .

In an instant, he understood it .

His rank was upgraded!

Not as a swordsman or as a greatsword maid, but as a baker . He was a fourth-ranked baker now!

The upgrading process of common careers wasn’t as complicated as the upgrading process of battle careers . It was a natural process after one finished a piece of work that surpassed a mortal’s limits .

A painter’s upgrading process was to draw a painting that would expose your inner world and shock people’s hearts .

A musician’s upgrading process was to write a music piece that could strike a chord in the audiences’ hearts .

A pharmacist’s upgrading process was to create medicine that could even heal hero-ranked beings .

In a word, the upgrading standard for all non-combat careers was the same: to create a masterpiece that surpassed a mortal’s limit .

“Bang!”

On Yun Xi’s fingertip, the first fourth-ranked food he had made, the golden butter bread, suddenly became three times bigger as its tempting smell spread throughout the whole village .
