The Pokémon world also has a unique spider sense.
So, when my battle skills reach a certain level, I might actually be able to fight Pokémon in melee combat!
Fang Gu scratched his cheek, realizing he was just an ordinary rancher.
After Fang Gu chose the characteristics of his combat skills, it was time to choose the characteristics of his cooking skills.
[The Chef's Supply Chain] or [Speeding Up Food Preparation]
Which one should I choose?
…………
Meanwhile, at an airport on the outskirts of Miare, a plane flying from the capital to Carlos slowly landed.
Lijia, accompanied by the "Overlord Flower," slowly disembarked from the plane and arrived at the other side of the tarmac.
A helicopter was parked on the helipad.
Lijia boarded the helicopter, looked at Fang Gu's business card in her hand, and turned on her phone.
[Lijia]: I have arrived in the Carlos region.
Chapter 72 The Chain of the Chef
[The Culinary Chain: By using items that you have gathered or produced yourself (accounting for more than 80%) in your cooking, you have a chance to obtain higher quality dishes.]
[Note: These are vegetables I grew myself; you can't buy them even if you wanted to!]
[Speed-up Food Service: Enables faster food service while you're cooking, reducing the cooking time by half!]
[Note: Speed on curves is the true measure of speed!]
This is a choice of two traits when cooking skills are upgraded to level five. However, when Fang Guyi obtained the Stardew Valley job panel, his cooking skills were already at level six, so he missed the opportunity to choose a trait.
This time, with the combat skill upgraded to level five, Fang Gu will also have the opportunity to choose his cooking skills.
Fang Gu now had to choose one of these two options.
The culinary chain states that by using vegetables and fruits produced by oneself to make dishes, one can obtain higher quality dishes, and higher quality dishes mean more outstanding results.
Fang Gu guessed that more than 80% of these were because cooking inevitably requires auxiliary ingredients such as soy sauce, salt, and oil, which are difficult to make, so it was better to just buy ready-made products.
However, there are also rock salt produced by Salt Giants and olive oil produced by Orino.
If we add these two elves, the items they produce might increase the proportion to 100%!
Fang Gu had a feeling that if he could achieve a 100% percentage, obtaining higher quality dishes would be inevitable!
Unfortunately, neither of these two elves is found in the Carlos region.
They have only been found in the Padiya region so far.
"It would be great if we could catch a paparazzi bag; paparazzi bags can produce a special kind of yeast."
"These yeasts can be used to make delicious bread, and dishes like sandwiches require bread."
As for the other feature, it's [faster food preparation].
The effect of this feature is exactly as the name suggests: it speeds up the preparation of meals.
Now, Fang Gu's Stardew Valley Ranch is home to many Pokémon, and these Pokémon consume a considerable amount of food each day, enough to keep him busy at the kitchen counter for a long time.
However, with these Pokémon, the workload at Fanggu Ranch has been greatly reduced.
Two baby ducks are enough to meet the watering needs of farmland, and a single Bulbasaur can expand the territory of the Secret Garden considerably.
In addition, once the Soft Puff evolves into Fat Sweetie, she will have an extra kitchen helper by her side.
In addition, Fang Gu quite enjoyed the bright, expectant looks he received from the Pokémon when he cooked food for them.
If you choose the "Quick Meal" option, this feeling will be halved!
Then the "Quick Meal Serving" feature only has one use for Fang Gu: to speed up the improvement of his cooking skills.
However, Fang Gu was not in a hurry to improve his cooking skills. He was not a chef who was cooking all the time.
He couldn't stand that.
Moreover, this advantage will disappear when the level is raised to the highest level.
Fang Gu had no idea whether he could pay money to remove this trait in the Pokémon world.
After thinking for a while, Fang Gu finally chose the [Cook's Chain] trait.
[Selection complete.]
Fang Gu sat up from the bed with a smile on his face.
Another beautiful day!
Fang Gu gently woke up the sleeping Bulbasaur next to him.
"Bulbasaur, if you don't get up soon, the sun will be shining on your butt!"
"Dana."
Bulbasaur let out a groggy cry.
The gist is that, as a Grass-type Pokémon, lazily sleeping in the sun is simply his nature! It's only natural!
Unfortunately, it's raining today.
Fang Gu picked up Bulbasaur and carried it towards the restaurant.
The day begins in the morning; you can't afford to be late for work!
A cup of black coffee first thing in the morning!
Fang Gu took out the black coffee powder from the kitchen counter, preparing to make a cup of coffee.
I bought this from Peter at the grocer's shop; I also ordered coffee bean seeds from him.
I wonder if the effects of the [Cook's Chain] can be applied to coffee.
The only raw material for coffee is coffee beans. If we can use the [Cook's Chain], we can definitely get higher quality coffee.
The kettle made a "glug-glug" sound as it boiled water.
"cotton!"
The cream puff burst out from the corner of the kitchen.
"Stop it! No! Shut up! Cream puffs!"
Fang Gu quickly hugged Mianmian Cream Puff, whose pink little tongue dangled in the air.
Mianmian Cream Puff is just like an enthusiastic little dog; every time they meet, she licks Fang Gu's face until it's covered in drool.
"Dah!"
Bulbasaur, standing nearby, issued a righteous warning to Puff for overstepping her bounds, acting as the boss of Stardew Valley Ranch!
Fanggu belongs to everyone!
I can't let your saliva get on me!
Puff pastry glanced at Bulbasaur with a grin and tossed a dollop of cream pastry into Bulbasaur's mouth.
So sweet!
Bulbasaur's serious expression softened instantly as it chewed on the creamy filling in its mouth, its eyes narrowing into slits with happiness.
"Dana."
Please do as you wish!
Bulbasaur waddled past Fang Gu, giving Mianmian Puff a encouraging look.
Fang Gu was dumbfounded. Bulbasaur had been bought off by Puff Pastry just like that?!
…………
Fang Gu turned on the tap on the kitchen counter, washed his face with a bitter expression, and then used hot water to make coffee powder.
Congratulations on completing a cooking session! You have earned "Coffee" and +1 Cooking Experience.
[Coffee, Quality D, black coffee made from coffee grounds. During processing, most of its nutrients are lost, resulting in an extremely bitter taste that can instantly wake humans or Pokémon.]
[Special Effect: Stamina +1]
[Note: How strong is the flavor of black coffee?]
Fang Gu frowned. Having been identified as bitter by the system, he dared not taste it lightly.
Fang Gu looked at Mianmian Cream Puff, who was also frowning, and an idea suddenly came to him.
"Use your abilities to purify this cup of black coffee! Creamy Puff!"
Mianmian Cream Puff instantly understood Fang Gu's meaning and tossed a dollop of cream puff onto the coffee.
[Coffee Cream Coffee, Quality D+. The black coffee, brewed from coffee powder, loses most of its nutrients during processing. After adding cream made from fluffy cream puffs, it has a slightly sweet taste that can instantly wake up humans or Pokémon.]
Fang Gu nodded in satisfaction, picked up his coffee, and opened his chat app to clear his messages.
But then I saw a message that Lijia had sent more than half an hour earlier.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Fang Gu's forehead.
Oh no, how could I have forgotten about this!
[AAA Stardew Valley Ranch Wholesale Fanggu]: Hmm, I just woke up. Do you need me to pick you up?
[Lijia]: No need, I've already arrived.
【AAA Stardew Valley Ranch Wholesale Square Valley】：？？？
Fang Gu could hear the constant spinning of helicopter rotors.
Chapter 73 Lijia Arrives
Did they simply forget to greet you and then barge in?
Miss Lijia, what are you doing?!
