Chapter 209 - Teleport? Escape

    First, it wasn’t a question of if the little girl could eat 200 meat skewers, because even if she could, his time was not enough .

    Roasting 100 sticks had used up a lot of Wei Xiao Bei’s time . Moreover, using the skill was not without consumption .

    To roast the meat, he needed to pay attention to the fire, flip the sticks at the right timing, placing the right amount of salt, etc .

    Wei Xiao Bei felt that the amount of mental consumption in doing all of these tasks was not less than the amount he would use for killing a normal 3-Star Creature .

    Although, Wei Xiao Bei had never killed one before, it did not mean that he had never considered it .

    He tiredly rubbed his aching eyes and smiled at the little girl .

    The little girl’s stomach had rounded out a bit and had just finished eating the last skewer . She satisfyingly patted her stomach while ignoring the yellow handprints on her shirt that were left behind .

    “You are not bad . ”

    The little girl at this moment could truly be called the Ming Lun Envoy . Her childish nature had disappeared, making Wei Xiao Bei suspicious that she might even have a dual personality .

    The Ming Lun Envoy looked at him and pointed at the stone card on his chest .

    A white light immediately shot out from her fingers and landed on the stone card .

    Wei Xiao Bei did not even have a chance to react throughout the process .

    Next, the Ming Lun Envoy’s figure turned into a rainbow light and shot towards the sky and into Bai Ta Hill .

    Seeing the Ming Lun Envoy leave, Wei Xiao Bei picked up the stone card and used [Status Appraisal] .

    . . .

Item Name: Ming Lun Envoy’s Proof

Material: Stone

Description: This proof was created by Bai Ta Shan’s Ming Lun Envoy . It has been slightly blessed by the burning incense of Bai Ta Hill .

Effect 1: Ming Lun’s envoy will know when you approach Bai Ta Hill .

Effect 2: Identification . While in the Dust World, by wishing to go to ‘Bai Ta Hill’, the owner would be teleported to Bai Ta Hill’s surroundings after 10 seconds . The user would not suffer from the barrier around Bai Ta Hill . This effect can only be used three times . Only by paying a price to the Ming Lun Envoy can replenish this ability .

Effect three:? ? ? ? (levels up based on intimacy with the Ming Lun Envoy)

    … . . .

    When Wei Xiao Bei looked at the second effect, he could not help become happy .

    The greatest reward he had received from the Dust World during this time’s visit was not the [Cooking] skill . After all, even if the skill was hard to obtain, he only needed to work harder and he would definitely succeed .

    His biggest gain was the Ming Lun Envoy’s Proof’s second effect .

    While in the Dust World, as long as he thought about Bai Ta Hill, he would be teleported to Bai Ta Hill’s surroundings without being impeded by the barrier .

    In other words, he now had another lifeline .

    If he was being pursued by an enemy, as long as he could hide for 10 seconds or defend for 10 seconds, he could teleport to Bai Ta Hill .

    Naturally, the only thing Wei Xiao Bei did not like about it was the 10 second activation delay .

    He knew that if he met a truly strong enemy, then 10 seconds would probably be enough to have him killed .

    Moveover, he could only use it three times .

    Although he could replenish it with the Ming Lun Envoy, the price for doing so might not be small .

    Despite this, anyone would understand that this teleportation effect could allow for survival even if it had a 10 second activation time .

    Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei also had his [Early Warning] ability to tell him of danger .

    If he felt that he was about to encounter a calamity, then he could make a decision in advance .

    After calculating the time, he understood that he had a bit more left, but not that much . After trying to feel things with his intuition, he gave up on finding monsters to earn any evolution points at the moment .

    Soon, Wei Xiao Bei lied down on the meadow and slowly entered into a dream .

    His body gradually became transparent and disappear into thin air .

    Before Wei Xiao Bei disappeared, a gowned person appeared on a giant rock afar . He looked in his direction and sighed .

    …… .

    After opening his eyes, Wei Xiao Bei felt lively as he surveyed his surroundings .

    He was currently lying down on a soft cotton sofa, there was no hole in the television, and the ceiling did not have spots of aging .

    The only thing Wei Xiao Bei did not feel comfortable about was the slight smell of formaldehyde pervading in the air .

    This could not be helped since the house had only been constructed three months ago . There had been no one living here for those three months, and the doors were shut, so the air did not flow properly, intensifying the smell in the air .

    Although the air had circulated a lot when Wei Xiao Bei moved in, the smell was still there .

    The worst part of this was Wei Xiao Bei’s acute sense of smell . If he did not pay attention, the smell of formaldehyde would become even stronger .

    Wei Xiao Bei sat up from the sofa and looked at the time on his phone . It was already the wee hours of the morning . Seeing that there were no movements in Zhu Xin Yi’s room, he did not have any plans of knocking on it . He picked up the Small Holding Bag and planned to take a look at the Fake Bashe’s Dragonfly Grass .

    He did not dare do so in the Dust World after seeing how it attracted monsters when it appeared in Zhang Xuan Shuo’s hand .

    He understood that the thing was like a bright light that attracted monsters .

    Wei Xiao Bei did not want to become the target of arrows - that was only the act of someone courting death .

    Thus he did not dare take it out until he returned to reality .

    However, he quickly noticed that he had failed in bringing out the Fake Bashe’s Dragonfly Grass .

    This also included the Dang Kang meat and the other things inside .

    After contemplating for a while, he gave up on what he was doing . He picked up his phone and looked at the internet for more recipes .

    The morning of the next day, Zhu Xin Yi woke up from her sweet dreams . When she opened the door, she immediately smelled something fragrant .

    The fragrance came from the kitchen .

    Zhu Xin Yi at this moment, was a bit suspicious .

    Master knows how to cook?

    This was a blind spot in Zhu Xin Yi’s understanding .

    She remembered that his master’s mother did not let him in the kitchen . This made her feel that his master did not know how to cook .

    This understanding was also not wrong .

    Although men and women were equals in current society, there were men with great skills in the kitchen . Especially since national-level chefs were mostly male .

    This might even mean that men have an innate ability in the kitchen .

    However, in Zhu Xin Yi’s life, she had only rarely met men who were good at cooking .

    Thus, her master being a Guo Shu Expert being bad in the kitchen should be a normal thing .

    However, today seemed strange .

    As she was thinking about this, she had unconsciously walked into the kitchen .

    She saw his master’s familiar back as he stood in front of the kitchen stove . Hearing Zhu Xin Yi’s footsteps, Wei Xiao Bei quickly turned around with a bit of flour still on his nose and smiled brightly, “Xin Yi, you’re awake . Quickly go wash your face . Today, you will taste your master’s skills . ”

    “Oh . ”

    Zhu Xin Yi looked up with half-asleep eyes and followed Wei Xiao Bei’s instructions . She turned around and walked into the bathroom .

    Only after wiping her face with a warm damp towel, did Zhu Xin Yi fully wake up . At the back of her mind, she was thinking that her master was making breakfast with strange ingredients .

    Thinking about this, a few images of strange food that she had seen before appeared in her mind - indigo woad root noodles, preserved salted fish eggs in pumpkin soup, or even the most terrifying fried cockroach .

    Just thinking about it made Zhu Xin Yi lose her appetite . She had even vomited a bit while she was gargling .

    When she walked out of the bathroom, she was still a bit apprehensive .

    Although Zhu Xin Yi was not that picky compared to other girls who did not dare eat food from college cafeterias, she was still a girl . If the ingredients were too strange, her heart may not be able to take it .

    When she sat at the table, she became relieved .

    On the table was deep fried flat bread, soy milk, and different pickled vegetables . Just from the appearance and smell indicated  that they were safe to eat .

    When she drank the soy milk, it did not have the slight sour taste from store bought soy milk . She then took a bite out of the deep fried flat bread . The inside had shelled shrimp and beef bits mixed in that complemented each other and the bread . The taste was a lot more stronger than the ones bought from street vendors .

    “Master, you are too awesome . ”

    It could be said that Zhu Xin Yi now had a whole new level of respect for Wei Xiao Bei . She never imagined that a man’s cooking could reach this level of deliciousness . Although it could not compare to chefs in big restaurants, this level was still hard to obtain .

    Her admiration was also due to the gap created from Zhu Xin Yi’s image of Wei Xiao Bei .

    Wei Xiao Bei smiled and did not say anything else as he continued eating with his head down .

    He did not become embarrassed due to Zhu Xin Yi’s praise, but he was thinking how to quickly raise his [Cooking] skill .

    While he was in the Dust World, he had a premonition that raising his [Cooking] skill would give him a great pleasant surprise .

    From this, he made a decision to quickly increase his [Cooking] skill . Even if he wasted time by not going to the Dust World, he did not hesitate .

    However, a problem appeared . Only the deep fried flat bread was considered a fragrant dish .

    The fragrant dish requirement had only reached 3/200 .

    After cooking 10 deep fried flat bread, only 3 were recorded in the requirements .

    With this calculation, if he cooked three meals in a day, it would take a long time to reach the full requirement .

    Additionally, Wei Xiao Bei could feel that deep fried flat bread and similar things would not increase his comprehension of cooking .

    Could it be that I should go accept a cooking job at some restaurant .

    After gathering all his choices, Wei Xiao Bei noticed that this may be the only choice if he wanted to quickly raise his [Cooking] skill .
