Chapter 574: Applications (1/2)
Krune approached the counter where one of the attendants was working.
”Hi there. I would like to take the Spiritual Chef Test.”
The attendant looked at Krune and nodded while smiling. There were very few who wished to become Spiritual Chefs, so the Spiritual Chef Guild employees were told to treat any applicant to the best of their abilities.
”No problem. I can see that you are in the Divine Path Realm. Should I apply for a Star Path Chef test?”
Krune shook his head.
”I want to take the test for a Star View Chef.”
The attendant was a little surprised to hear that. Still, there were quite a few Spiritual Chefs that could make Spiritual Meals one level above their cultivation. Because of that, his surprise didn't last for long.
”Very well. As you know, our Spiritual Chef Tests are very simple. You just need to go to one of our Kitchens and prepare a few dishes at the requested level. One of our members will be there to observe the process to guarantee that you aren't cheating.”
Krune didn't mind.
”Very well, how much is it to take the test?”
”For a Star View Chef, the price is 100 Godly Stones.”
Krune nodded and paid the amount. After that, he was guided into one of the kitchens where a member of the Spiritual Chef Guild was already waiting. From what Krune could see in his badge, the man was a Semi-Divinity Spiritual Chef, just like Oclo.
”This is the kitchen. But if you want, you can use your own tools as well. I will only need to verify them beforehand.”
Krune nodded and took a few of his own utensils. He was more comfortable using his own, after all. The Chef beside Krune verified everything before nodding.
”Everything is in order. You can start any time you want.”
He then passed a list to Krune.
”Here are the ingredients available in our Guild at the moment. You can select any of the ones present. For Star View Chefs, we have quite a plethora of them.”
Krune quickly scanned the list and found one of the ingredients for one of the dishes he prepared in Oclo's restaurant. It was also the very first Spiritual Food dish he had ever eat, the Golden Prawn Soup.
Krune was very familiar with this Star View Dish, so it was relatively easy to cook it. In the end, his Golden Prawn Soup had a harmonization of over 95%, much to the judge's satisfaction.
”A very good level of harmonization considering your level. I can also feel the passion behind your moves, which is very important for us, Spiritual Chefs.”
The judge then brought forward more ingredients. From the looks of it, there was enough for Krune to make another two Golden Prawn Soups.
”I will need you to remake the same dish again. Besides being able to cook something at the Star View Level, a Spiritual Chef also has to have at least a 40 to 50% rate of success. Otherwise, what will be the point if you can only cook a Star View dish once every ten or so times?”
Krune nodded.
”No problem. I will begin right away.”
Krune didn't mind those rules since they made sense. Not to mention that he wouldn't have any problem cooking the Golden Prawn Soup again. Sometime later, another two portions of Golden Praw Soup were completed in front of the judge.
”Vey good, their harmonization rate is on par with your first dish as well, you pass.”
The chef then passed a token to Krune before saying.
”Go to the office outside and give it to the employee there. He will create your badge and add you to our system. After that, you will be considered one of Star View Chefs.”
Krune smiled and then left. After passing the token for the employee responsible, he was guided into a particular room to wait. Around one hour later, he already received his badge.
