Chapter 858 - Culinary God (1/2)

When he looked inside, Fang Ning saw a heart-shaped ring placed in the box. The ring was beautifully crafted, elegant, it was even glistening softly, making it pleasant to the eye; it was truly an exquisite treasure.

From this gift, it could be seen that the other party had clearly put a lot of thought into it.

“These guys sure know how to cater to someone’s fancies. But unfortunately, Mr. Rich Host, you won’t be able to use this in this lifetime, might as well put it away in the depository…” Sir System gloated over Fang Ning’s misfortune.

“Get out!” Fang Ning snapped angrily.

The few people present at the scene suddenly turned anxious as they saw the rage appear on Director Fang’s face.

Had they missed the mark with their attempt at flattery?

They were certain that they had done their research, which showed that Director Fang had a fiancee and would soon be married. This gift should have come at the perfect time.

Somehow it seemed that they had made a mistake.

Just as they were having second thoughts, Fang Ning’s expression changed again.

He smiled faintly as he spoke, “Your thoughtfulness is appreciated. Alright, I will impart to you the real techniques.”

“Hoho, would you?” mocked Sir System.

“Nonsense, I used to practice culinary skills back when I was in your Alchemy Lab!” Fang Ning replied confidently.

“Hehe, be careful that you don’t embarrass yourself. The people in that organization only know how to cook, but they’re certainly no masters.”

“We’ll see!”

Fang Ning decided that he would let Sir System see for himself, whether he was capable of taking in apprentices under his wing or not.

As for the possible scenario of the master dying of starvation after having taught the student (TN: This is a Chinese idiom referring to a situation where the student, after mastering what the teacher has taught, leaves to work elsewhere or competes for business with the teacher, and the teacher ends up without a job and starves to death), that would never happen.

As Fang Ning’s own culinary skills were only at the beginner-level, when compared to that of the master-level mechanical puppet, the difference was poles apart.

Nonetheless, even with only beginner-level culinary skills, he was still qualified to become a teacher to these chefs.

Hearing those words, those three people were overjoyed.

In fact, they were already prepared for rejection as the other party had never accepted apprentices before.

This was understandable, of course, as such extraordinary techniques must be well-kept and treasured by oneself.

In the Era of Mythology, if one’s skill could reach that of a legendary, god-like level — the acme of perfection — it was highly possible for that person to enter the path of Gods.

At the very least, they could also become holy immortals or Buddhas, and live a long, prosperous life.

It was neither rare or exceptional to see or hear of such things in the Upper Realm.

After all, the life of a holy immortal is long and dull. In order to make their days seem less sparse and boring, they required god-level services to satisfy their finicky appetites.

Music, dance, and fine cuisine were all part of their daily pleasures.

In the following week, Fang Ning poured all his heart into his teaching.

Of course, he only taught for a week because any longer was inconceivable.

For reasons, firstly, it was because he was lazy, and secondly, if he were to continue teaching any longer, he would definitely blow his own cover…

That said, this week alone had already opened the eyes of the three as they truly began to understand just what the threshold was like to attain the god-level of culinary skills.

More so, they may need to spend a lifetime in order to comprehend it.

In the Greater Rat Underground City, Intelligence Department.

After acquiring the latest intel, Bai Shifu immediately went to see Bai Shixin.

“Oh, it seems like not even Vigilante A can get his hands on information in this realm. Otherwise, he’d definitely stop Fang Ning from imparting his culinary skills to others, so as to prevent making another competitor for himself.” Bai Shixin immediately came to such a conclusion.
