Chapter 1540: The System’s Repair Method
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The architectural style of the Titan Divine Dynasty was tall and magnificent. That was because Titans would always grow into giants whenever they disagreed with each other. Therefore, their buildings needed to be tall to accommodate their immense heights.
In the towering palace, the Titan Divine Emperor was sitting on his throne. All the people in the palace were dismissed, and it seemed to have turned into a secret place. Wisps of faint black smoke swirled in the air, corroding the void with their terrible power. After a long time, the Divine Emperor opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled upward with a hint of evilness.
“A God Emperor is indeed tough to deal with... You have hidden deep inside and would not let me devour... But you won’t last for too long.” There was a hint of coldness on the Titan Divine Emperor’s lips. He raised his hand. A black aura was filling his palm, and the barbaric glyphs on his body had all turned black.
“Using a vast divine dynasty as the base... If I turn this whole divine dynasty into a playground for Demon Souls, we will soon occupy this world. At that time, we will summon the will of the Soul God... and we, the Soul Demons, will become the master of this world! Humans will become our food!”
The Divine Emperor smiled greedily, his eyes filling with black smoke. Of course, he was still paying attention to any news related to the Cursed Goddess and Bu Fang now. The Cursed Goddess’s fleshly body was still a great temptation for him.
Earlier, Soul Thirteen had occupied the Titan Divine Emperor’s body, so he was qualified to break through to the Soul Overlord realm. Unfortunately, the Divine Emperor was, after all, a God Emperor, and he had managed to withstand his corrosion. Otherwise, he would have gone to the Xiayi Divine Dynasty there and then to capture the Cursed Goddess and Bu Fang.
Another reason was that he sensed the aura of a Heavengod, and then both Soul Two and Soul Three were no longer answering his call. All this made him more cautious. He did not want to lose the fleshly body he had won so hard. So, he decided to return to the Titan Divine Dynasty and take over the vast divine dynasty as the Titan Divine Emperor.
He would wait patiently until he became a Soul Overlord before taking over this world. At that time, who could stop him? Not the female Divine Emperor of the Immortal Spirit Divine Dynasty, and not even the aging Xiayi Divine Emperor!
...
With a crack, the blue kitchen knife shattered into pieces and fell to the ground. Bu Fang felt a little bewildered. Looking at the knife, he did not know what just happened. ‘Are cooking utensils so fragile these days? This is far worse than the God of Cooking Set... Ah, even the God of Cooking Set has broken...’ He felt a suffocating pain, and he patted himself on the chest.
‘This knife costs... millions of source stones!’ King Pingyang was trembling inside. He glanced at Bu Fang and felt like crying. ‘This is a Heaven Divine Chef’s utensil... Why is it so fragile? Was I taken advantage of? That chef is too bold! How dare he cheat me?!’
Bu Fang put down the kitchen knife’s handle, sighed, and said, “It’s fine. We all had met a few cheaters in our lives... Just be careful next time.”
King Pingyang’s cheeks kept trembling. He felt a little ashamed. The Divine Emperor did not give him the money to feed cheaters. “Be patient, Mister Bu... I’ve prepared many cooking utensils. Now, take a look at this...” he said, taking a deep breath. With a shake of his hand, a crimson wok emerged. It was filled with terrible heat like a boiling volcano.
‘Oh? This wok...’ Bu Fang reached out a hand and grabbed the wok, and he immediately sensed the Artifact Spirit’s aura inside.
Roar!
It was a roaring magma giant who stood on top of a volcano and was emanating a terrible aura. Bu Fang narrowed his eyes slightly. A humming sound could be heard as the true-form of his divine sense opened its eyes again, giving off a threatening aura. Then, a beam of golden light shot out of it, and the magma giant’s roar came to an abrupt stop. With a popping sound, it was pierced by the golden light, shattered into pieces, and scattered on the ground.
King Pingyang felt as if his beard was going to fall off.
Bu Fang grabbed the crimson wok. Shafts of bright light immediately burst out of it, and then cracks began to appear before it broke into pieces like glass and fell all over the floor.
‘What the f*ck... Millions of source stones gone again!’ King Pingyang’s heart was bleeding. Looking at the innocent Bu Fang, he did not know what to say.
The surrounding people were also confused and somewhat speechless as they stared at the broken cooking utensils. ‘Is this King Pingyang an idiot? Owner Bu’s cooking skills are supreme, and yet he’s trying to fool Owner Bu with these shabby things?’
King Pingyang did not believe that it would happen again, so he took out one cooking utensil after another in succession. However, they all broke into pieces. Whenever one of them fell to the ground, his heart trembled. It meant he had wasted a huge amount of source stones. He wondered if he should demand them back from those divine chefs?
“I’m sorry for troubling you, Mister Bu... I don’t feel quite well now, so I’ll take my leave first. I’ll show Mister Bu other cooking utensils tomorrow.” King Pingyang’s face was unsightly. After bidding farewell with Bu Fang, he turned and left hastily.
Bu Fang rubbed his hands and smacked his lips. ‘Ai... The God of Cooking Set is still more comfortable to use... How can I fix them?’
At this moment, the System’s serious voice rang in his head, causing the look in his eyes to change immediately. He glanced at the crowd, then turned and went into the kitchen.
‘Did you find a solution, System?’ Bu Fang asked excitedly in his head.
‘Yes,’ the System answered succinctly.
‘Eh? Since when did the System take my questions seriously?’
‘What is the solution?’ Bu Fang asked. Without handy cooking utensils, cooking became boring.
The System was silent for a while, then it said seriously, ‘Host, please collect the last God of Cooking Set.’
Bu Fang nodded seriously, waiting for the System to continue. Then, the System... fell silent.
‘That’s all?’ Bu Fang asked.
‘That’s all,’ the System answered.
Bu Fang was speechless. ‘What kind of a solution is this? Do I need to wait for the next episode to know the details? When did the System become so naughty?’ However, he also understood that perhaps the key to fixing the God of Cooking Sets was related to the last God of Cooking Set. Besides, he could feel that the last Artifact Spirit in that misty space was... definitely a big boss!
Now it seemed that it was very crucial for him to gather the fragments of the God of Cooking Set, and it happened that he lacked just one fragment to summon the last God of Cooking Set. Bu Fang rubbed his chin. ‘But it’s not so easy to collect the last fragment...’ He frowned. ‘I need to wait for the System to give me a temporary task, or... achieve sufficient turnover. As long as I have enough turnover, I will be able to upgrade, and my cultivation base can even break through to the God realm!’
Bu Fang was now desperate to improve his cultivation base. The pressure of the Heavengod on him made him very uncomfortable.
‘Attention, Host, you still have one dish from the God of Cooking’s Menu that you have not cooked,’ the System reminded him.
Bu Fang paused. The System’s reminder made him recall that he still had a dish from the God of Cooking’s Menu that he needed to cook. He had been so busy lately that he had forgotten about it. However, now that he had lost the God of Cooking Sets, could he really cook it properly?
He frowned. The System had given him a solution that was not quite a solution, so for the time being, he would not have the God of Cooking Sets. There was nothing he could do to change that, but at the same time, it struck him that he seemed to have relied a little too much on the God of Cooking Sets.
...
The restaurant’s business was still booming as usual, and the diners all left happily after finishing their meals. Source stones kept pouring into Bu Fang’s pocket and increased his turnover. He seemed to be getting closer and closer to the next promotion.
It was a busy day. After seeing off the last diner, Bu Fang breathed out a sigh of relief. He wiped away the water stains off his hands and came out of the kitchen. Leaning on the counter, he had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Losing the God of Cooking Sets allowed Bu Fang to immerse himself more in cooking. He had not felt this way for a long time, and he also found that it was a long time since he focused on studying new dishes.
Nethery was eating a bowl of Dragon Blood Rice. Staring at Bu Fang with her big eyes, she seemed to sense that there was something different about him today.
“It seems that it’s been a long time since I introduced a new dish...” Bu Fang murmured thoughtfully as he rubbed his chin.
Nethery’s eyes lit up when she saw that Bu Fang seemed to have walked out from the grief of losing his cooking utensils. While spooning Dragon Blood Rice into her mouth, she kept nodding. ‘Yes, it’s been a long time since Bu Fang introduced a new dish. Is he going to come out with one? I’ll have something delicious to taste?’
Er Ha and the others also turned to look at him. Bu Fang glanced at the crowd with an expressionless face, then turned around and went back into the kitchen. “Wait for me,” he said. After that, he stepped into the kitchen and began to prepare a new dish.
The crowd suddenly felt curious. Even the crown prince was somewhat struck dumb. He had planned to leave the restaurant as soon as the day’s business hour was over, but now he could not help but stop in place. He wanted to see what new dish Bu Fang would cook.
Lately, in between his busy work as a waiter, he had been trying to collect life-prolonging spirit herbs for his father. His time was precious, but when he saw the expectant look in everyone’s eyes, he was influenced by them. ‘Well, I can just wait for a while... It won’t take long, I suppose. This will be a short break for me.’
...
In the kitchen, Bu Fang frowned. He rolled up his sleeves, reached out his fingers, and touched his chin.
In his spirit sea, the glowing God of Cooking’s Menu began to flip. Rumbling filled the air, and shafts of blinding light shot out in all directions. The next moment, a humming sound could be heard as a stream of information poured out of the menu and was received by Bu Fang. That was the name of the new dish.
For Bu Fang, every new dish from the God of Cooking’s Menu was a great challenge, and this one was no exception. The recipe was so full of information that it filled his head until it was on the verge of bursting.
“This is...” Bu Fang opened his mouth and gasped. His pupils constricted while a strange look came over his face. He never expected to see this dish in the God of Cooking’s Menu.
This dish can also... be included in the God of Cooking’s Menu? Could the guy who created this menu be a... fellow countryman?” Bu Fang did not know whether to cry or laugh because there was something special in the dish...
He was required to cook... Supreme Cola Chicken Wings.
