143  Chapter 100 World's Rare Dishes_2

"In the future, a genius capable of creating unparalleled dishes, imbued with the true essence and soul of food, should have a throng of renowned chefs vying to take them as an apprentice," Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Lu Ran's heart thumped wildly, damn, Blizzard Sword Intent can actually be used in cooking?!

As Manager Tong finished speaking, Lu Ran was excited, yet the other five were plunged into contemplation, looking at Lu Ran as if they had seen something inconceivable.

MMP, World's Rare level dishes, Cooking Intent, what the heck is that?!

Is this guy a disciple of some life-oriented big shot who's a master of cooking?!

To think they assumed everyone was starting from scratch in this Secret Realm, but here's a guy with "Cooking Intent"!

Cooking Intent... It sounds like something incredibly sophisticated.

"I don't know what Cooking Intent is, this culinary skill was something I accidentally honed and developed," Lu Ran said.

"Alright, I've pretty much understood your situations. Next, you will go to your own rooms as indicated by the doorplates I give you and wait,"

"I'll notify each of you in turn to find a suitable master to learn from."

"As for you, follow me!" Manager Tong said to Lu Ran, immediately starting to treat him differently.

Soon, the other five trialists were dismissed with mixed feelings, while Lu Ran, once again led by Manager Tong, arrived at his own room.

After tossing a doorplate to Lu Ran, Manager Tong stared intently at him and said, "Kid, what's your name, and do you have a mentor?"

"I go by King of Sudden Death, Manager, you can just call me Little Wang. I don't have a mentor, I've come to Frost Moon Tower seeking a formidable master to lead me through the gates into the Chef Field," Lu Ran replied earnestly.

"Do you know how strong your talent is?" she asked.

"I didn't before... but now, I might," Lu Ran said.

Sword Intent coming into play with Cooking Intent, that was something Lu Ran truly hadn't considered.

At that moment, Manager Tong pondered for a bit, biting her finger and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen a newcomer like you, who can infuse their will into the cooking equipment. It's very rare."

"Especially since it's the chef themself who has mastered this skill, completely without resorting to the power of Pet Beasts."

"If I didn't sense it wrong just now, the ingredients bore the traces of your Cooking Intent, as chilling as snow and ice."

"It's a pity it's not yet perfected, but even so, it's already quite remarkable. Once you master it and find the suitable ingredients, perhaps, you might be able to cook a 'World's Rare level dish'!"

You see, it's common for Pet Beasts to learn Ideological Shaping, incorporating it into their energy techniques, but Lu Ran and Mr. Husky, learning the skill of fusion with Weapon and Intent, have stepped out of the race.

And this race aligns closely with the pinnacle skills of the Chef Domain!

"World's Rare level dish?!" Lu Ran couldn't help but speak out, his heart surging with excitement. If that were the case, it would be incredibly thrilling.

To pass the breakthrough assessment with top-grade cuisine would be one thing, but if he could cook World's Rare dishes, wouldn't he complete the task 1000% beyond the goal?

"Don't get too excited too early," Manager Tong said with a glance at Lu Ran, "This process could take a year, five years, or ten years, all depending on your talent... World's Rare level dishes aren't so easy to craft."

"However, passing the special-grade chef assessment should be no issue. Although the Snowy Cooking Intent restricts your range of dishes, when the time comes, you just need to catch any fish during the hunt, make some sashimi, garnish it with simple seasonings, and purely by your culinary art, you'll utterly enchant the examiners, inducing a trance-like state as if they were drifting into fantasy, floating in ecstasy."

"Sashimi, such a dish—simple in method, but exacting in terms of cutting skills and temperature,"

"Sashimi..." Lu Ran nodded.

He had not anticipated ending up a technocrat in the end.

It was about conquering the examiners with his culinary art.

An unexpected path indeed.

"Of course, I believe your future accomplishments should not be limited to a mere special-level assessment," Manager Tong said. "In the next 15 days, I will personally train you to help hone your Cooking Intent."

"Even if you cannot become a culinary god like Emperor Yan Sizhen, your achievements will not fall short!"

"Alright..." Lu Ran nodded.

The proprietress was personally taking action... He looked at the beauty in front of him. Could she cook too?

"Speaking of which, I'm curious about what you've been through. The cultivation of Cooking Intent is not easy," Manager Tong looked at the young Lu Ran.

"Is it difficult..." Lu Ran asked what seemed to be an incredibly naive question.

"Heh..." Manager Tong's mouth twitched. So it seemed that even geniuses were not always endearing.

"Nonsense, only when a chef possesses Cooking Intent can the dishes have a possibility of bearing a soul, touching upon the true essence of taste!" she exclaimed, slamming her hand on the table.

"Why is Emperor Yan Sizhen hailed as the forefather of the culinary path? Because he was the first person to master Cooking Intent!"

"Decades ago, when the Empire was in the throes of a mini ice age, Emperor Yan Sizhen created a dish called 'Flame Dragon Soaring Through the Heavens'. Its aroma spread across the Continent, and the creatures that smelled the fragrance felt as if they were in the midst of summer. The scent awakened the Fire Attribute strength in countless wild beasts in an instant, leading to the gradual end of the mini ice age."

"Of course, that caliber of dish might have exceeded the World's Rare level and would likely leave a bold stroke in the annals of history. In short, to achieve such an effect, extremely high-quality ingredients and a powerful Cooking Intent are indispensable," she added.

"Every World's Rare level dish can bestow incredible strength upon the consumer... helping Beast Trainers break through, aiding Pet Beasts in their evolution..." Manager Tong said. "Oh well, there's no point discussing this with you now."

"Next, I will prepare a batch of special ingredients for you and give you a dedicated room. You continue to train your Cooking Intent, aiming for an early achievement of the perfect fusion of Cooking Intent and ingredients."

"Having Cooking Intent alone is not enough; you must also combine the characteristics of the ingredients to meld their flavors with your Cooking Intent, so they enhance each other. Otherwise, an overly dominant Cooking Intent will only overpower the original flavors of the ingredients and spoil everything."

"Moreover, your Cooking Intent lasted less than ten seconds on that piece of meat; that won't do. When it comes time to enjoy the meal, before the diner can savor the taste, the dish's golden moment will have dissipated, and the quality of the cuisine will revert to a common level."

"After a chef infuses his heart into a dish, he must ensure that the sentiment remains for a significant amount of time. Yours is too brief. To be precise, your Cooking Intent doesn't linger on the ingredients long enough!"

Lu Ran nodded repeatedly, listening carefully to the guidance.

He couldn't help it. His talent was Sword Intent, previously aimed at cutting down people, understandably lacking such finesse... It was only now that Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

At least this breakthrough task should be solid.

He just needed to work towards creating World's Rare level cuisine to the best of his ability.

However, just like there are only a few World's Rare level Forging Masters currently in Xia Country... there must be only a few World's Rare level Chefs as well...

Lu Ran's expression turned odd. If he could create a World's Rare level dish in this Secret Realm, could he really become a professor in the Chef Department at Beast Training University when he went back? To become a professor—as Master Lin had said, the pay was not bad! Even attracting a Forging Master like himself, Lu Ran was curious about the treatment.
