"Su Ying, i just noticed your getting more a litle bit fatter" Li Jie said

"hmmm...shut up its your fault anyway!" Su Ying puffed his cheeks

"why was i the one to blame?" 

"its because the food you cook tasted so delicious" Su Ying answered pointing the pot

"hey...don't blame the food!" Li Jie said seriously 

"so just you know ,not just me all of the girls are complaining because they are starting to gain weight, because they can't limit themselves from eating the food you cook" Su Ying yelled.

"ahhh i get it...I'll cook something more delicious next time, i wonder how will the ladies of Wang Clan will look when they gain more weight" a smirk emerge from Li Jie's expressionless face

"you- your a demon!" Su Ying said in with a terrified expression

Jackson was really satisfied in seeing that he has a spare set of weapons other than his own, but the other one was a blade which is not really his type so he needs to find or craft his own weapon for later but now he just have to do with his katana and blade combination since it is already the best weapon he currently have.

He then proceeded to look for a set of armor he can use, he took a look at the Archidium set of his Wizard character and disregarded the idea since that set can only be used by a Wizard and the options of it were for magic users. He then looked for the set he used before he took up the Archidium set; The [DREI FRAME] Martial set.

It took him 30mins to find the set the he was looking for, he just put them in the front corner of the storage space and went out of the house to buy food. He strolled the town to look for different kinds of delicacies he walked towards the old lady's place.

....
...
..

When he arrived there he bought all of the kebab that the old lady was selling, the old lady was very happy to see that all of her goods were sold in less than a day. Normally it would take almost one week just to sell all of the kebab and that is already taking the fact that she sells them with a discounted price just to sell all of them before they've gone bad.

"Young man, why do I feel that I have seen you before?" The Old lady said as she stashed away the bag of coins that Jackson gave her.

"I bought a kebab here just the other day so you may have remembered me from that time." Jackson said as he put all the kebab in a container and started carrying them then he pulled out another bag of alz and gave them to the old lady.

"Here's a bonus for all of this kebab, I really find it delicious." the old lady was stumped and don't know what to do, although she really needs money to keep raising her grandchildren and support their living. She didn't want to earn money without efforts.

"I'm very sorry sir but I cannot take this, I already took the rest of the changed that you paid me for all of the goods so if I take this another bag without anything to exchange it to my conscience won't be able to take it." The Old lady said as she handed the bag to Jackson.

"Oh, Then just give me any of your things then you can accept this money that I gave you." Jackson waved his hands and placed the bag in the table again, he just appreciate the good taste of the kebab that the old lady sells to him that's why he forked out another bag of alz coins, he don't even mind if he was given a useless item in exchange my the lady.

"The only thing I have of value sir is our family heirloom this book, I already read it thoroughly so I don't have any use of it anymore." The old lady said as she handed over a book to Jackson.

He picked up the book and an information about it appeared in his mind.

[COOKING SKILL BOOK]
Description: A skill that enhance your cooking skills, one of the Unique Skill Book.
Class Restriction: None

'A Cooking book? Isn't this a great find then? I can cook my meals myself then? That's Great.' Jackson thought to himself as gladly accepted the book. "May I know your name?"

The old lady looked at Jackson and said. "My name is Vera, how about you young man?"

"My name is Blade-- My name is Jackson. Here take this, you can use it to call me any time." Jackson said as he gave Vera the Mail Card that was assigned to his name.

Jackson didn't immediately tried to learn the book but stashed it away with the food that he bought, he then bid farewell to Vera and continued to stroll the town, he made sure to go to an alley first and store his things in his inventory so that the food that he bought wont spoil.

On his way to his house, he bought a lot of ingredients for cooking and when he reached his house he brought it all out in the kitchen and decided to learn the skill. He then proceeded to prepare the food and in his mind although he still don't know all of the recipes at the least he knows how to handle and process the ingredients and what to put in the stove correctly.

At first he cooked a Stir-Fry dish and tried tasting it. "Wow, I didn't expect my cooking to be this delicious on my first try, although it can't be compared to Vera's level of cooking it was still acceptable since it was his first dish."

He placed the food in the table and began devouring all of it, he was very hungry because of what happened, he still can't believe that his level was brought back to him and he was able to learn a Cooking skill book which were not in the game. He then decided to check the skill and what appeared in his mind shocked him.

[COOKING SKILL BOOK]
Description: A skill that enhance your cooking skills, one of the Unique Skill Book.
Class Restriction: None
Note: This skill book was made by one of the 8th wise person Veradricks in the tower of wise men.

"Wait this isn't what appeared earlier, you mean to say that the old lady Vera was in fact Veradricks? Why is she selling some kebab on the streets? Why is she disguising herself as an old lady?" Jackson said.

"Why do I keep meeting prominent NPC figures in the game. *Sigh* " Jackson rubbed his forehead and let out a sigh.

Have you been playing a game non-stop for 20 years? Me? Yeah but sadly it'll in end after being around for 20years. At least that's what I thought. 

Disclaimer: This Novel is a FanFiction based on an MMORPG called CABAL ONLINE.

"Mom, what is it then?"

Zhou Lei was curious as to why his mother called him over. 

'What the heck?!' Zhou Xiang was still not used to the abrupt change of her son's voice. She suppressed her surprised expression and told him directly. 

"Starting tomorrow, you will cook."

"What?!" Surprised, Zhou Lei reacted violently. Why was the role of being cook getting passed to him?

Zhou Jiahao heard this as well, and he was rather displeased. When his wife said that she would cook this time, he got a bit excited since his wife's cooking tasted really good, at least to him. 

Now that he discovered that it would only be for today, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. 

There was also the fact that Zhou Lei had no experience in cooking, so no one could expect much from him, or his cooking.

"Now watch me closely, okay? I'll only teach you this once." Zhou Xiang continued talking without minding both her husband's drastic change in his facial expressions, and their son's violent reaction to her command.

With the words from his mother, Zhou Lei's mood lightened a bit. He got curious as to what his mother was going to cook since she boldly told him to watch closely. 

Ignoring her son, who was still moderately angry, she grabbed the main ingredients for her dish. Eggs, uhh... that's pretty much it.

The dinner for today was Sunny-Side Up!

Zhou Lei was dumbfounded.

'Watch you closely, you say? Teach me only once, you say!?' Zhou Lei didn't even bother to glance at his mother cooking an egg.

Zhou Xiang finally finished and turned her head to look at her son, before she opened her mouth. "Now, did you understand?"

Before his mother, Zhou Lei could only helplessly nod. He obviously understood, cooking an egg is as easy as sleeping or eating! Of course, it was only for this recipe of egg-cooking.

"Okay, cook one for me."

"Haah..." Zhou Lei sighed. He then grabbed an egg slowly and cracked it before putting it on the pan.

Tss...

The egg was frying.

.....

After dinner, Zhou Lei returned to his room, and he decided to try his luck on the lottery again. If System crashed again, and the stats he upgraded weren't saved, he could always just upgrade them.

Zhou Lei used one lottery ticket. Ting! The roulette started spinning.

While the roulette was spinning, he was silent the whole time. He didn't want it to land on the Useless category...

The roulette slowed down before it stopped completely, in the second largest category, the "One-Time Use" category. 

The prize was "Master Chef Book - How to Become a Master Chef in Just One Second! By: System".

As Zhou Lei was reading the title of the book, his expressions changed.

'Ooh, how convenient...'
'One second?! If this is misleading, I'll sue you!'
'F**k! You didn't need to put your name on it, System...'

After Zhou Lei read the book, he hesitantly received the prize, anticipating System's crash. 

Who knew that it wouldn't crash this time?

Zhou Lei felt quite happy that the crash didn't happen. He received the book and retrieved it from his inventory. 

The book landed on his hands. It was there... a one-page book.

'No wonder System said it would only take one second.'

The book cover looked elegant, as there was even a fake publishing company called "System Publishing" plastered all over it! There was also the necessary "#1 New York Bestseller" on it.

Eventually, after careful examination of every detail on the book cover, Zhou Lei decided to open it. Inside, there was a single page. A blank one at that. 

'Huh?'

Zhou Lei turned the page. At the back of it, he saw a single word. 

"Congratulations."

Suddenly, the book glowed, and countless letters and numbers flowed out of the single page! Those letters and numbers crashed onto Zhou Lei's forehead, and assimilated inside his brain!

Zhou Lei felt nauseous as he learned a tremendous amount of knowledge in a short amount of time - one second.

Finally, letters and numbers stopped flowing out of the single page. The book, which was in Zhou Lei's hands, turned into dust.

"Aah... that hurt like hell...!"

After a realization of his irrelevance, Zhou Lei gets a life-changing system that enables him to redeem himself - in the most attention-catching way possible!

"System, I said to upgrade my intelligence."
"Are you sure you want to upgrade: Appearance?"
"I already said no!"
"Upgrade processing..."

No regular updates.

Konrad grabbed another two prize orbs from the pile and snorted reading the descriptions. 
A cooking book! And not one but two! It was true that one of them provided him recipes from a completely unfamiliar mysterious place called Atlantidion, but what of it if observe didn't even tell me a single thing about this country other than the fact that it was known for its marine Dishes?!
He sighed internally and opened the prizes. Instantly two thick books, with a variety of different recipes inside of them, appeared in the place of those two orbs.
• Russian Cooking •
• Atlantidion Cooking • 
Those were the names of the books. 
Konrad discarded the Russian book, being more interested with the second one. He wanted to open it and maybe figure something about the place from the type of ingredients used in the dishes, but as soon as his hand touched the cover there was a flash of light and His Cooking Grimoire appeared in the Air!
Konrad could only watch in fascination as the pages of the Cooking book started to flip in a very fast pace, glowing brighter with every page that was flipped. His Grimoire, that hovered in the air, also opened and suddenly pages began to fill with new informations and Konrad could feel new knowledge appearing inside of his mind. It wasn't painful like with the Orbs though. It felt gentle and natural. He didn't even realize when The Cooking book, that laid in front of him, closed itself and it's light began to dim. Only when new dishes of Russian origin started to appear in his head, did he realize that the second Cooking book also found itself in the same state as the first one. He waited for a while as his Grimoire finished it's work and tried to assimilate the newfound knowledge. He didn't know that his Grimoire had such a function but he never actually tried using any cooking book having the greatest cooking book basically bound to his very sould. Until now, any new dish that was recorded didn't need for the Grimoire to leave...wherever it resides when uncalled. But maybe because of the sheer number of recipes in those two books, this time just sending the knowledge though him was not enough or something? Ehh...He really needed to study this book more. Who knows what other secrets it holds?...Such a shame that it's not a Magic Grimoire...
Konrad spend a while fishing inside of his head through the recipes for any good way do identify what was this whole Atlantidion, but he came up with nothing. There was only a lot of Marine dishes, and half of the used ingredients he never even heard of before... Some of them he even suspected to be of magical origin! For example, a fish that would cause the body of the consumer to freeze into an ice block if incorrectly prepared, or a jellyfish that would phase through your stomach if you didn't keep it in the oven for long enough...
Only those magical ingredients gave him any hint of the Identity of this whole Atlantidion, but he couldn't tell if it was a country from another dimension, time, or if it was in any way connected to the mythical Atlantis. One interesting thing though was that he could have sworn that he heard the name somewhere before, but he couldn't, in any way, remember where...
All those unanswered questions came to haunt him once again...He sighed and turned to the next reward, only for his eyes to suddenly twinkle in excitement.

[} Master Weapon Manual (User adapted){]

He couldn't wait to read this one, but sadly he still had a few other rewards to open... But he would still open this reward, if only so he could stare at the cover.

• Master Tome Of Swords And Shields •

There it was! The last book of the series! The pinnacle of swordsmanship that would lead him to greatness! Of course there is much more to it than a simple book can cover, but that isn't what this Manual is all about. This is a book which teaches the foundation and the road he needed to take if he wanted to become a Master. Only True training and experience could let him actually achieve a true Mastery but with the nowledge from the book clearly engraved into his memory, he would know how to proceed with his training and he would not make any mistakes grave mistakes that would hinder his improvements. He also had a small suspicion that the book had some kind of mnemonic effect that not only assisted in memorization but also affected his determination and talent but it could also be just his own perseverance...

The next reward was quiet curious. 

[• Fey Language Dictionary •]
| Rank - B
| Condition - Perfect
| Magic Language: Fey Language - Medium Rank
| Description - A dictionary that contains the entire knowledge of how to read, write and speak the Magical Language of Fey. The Language on itself doesn't allow the user to speak with all the races like the Legendary Language of Birds, but in terms of it's attunement to Magic and especially to the Nature Magic The Fey Language surpasses it by a large margin. There is only few Arcane Languages that reach closer than it to The [@π&¥@&€#∆££#&∆¶$.
__________

'Interesting...A bit of knowledge about the Magic Languages here. And I wonder, why was there yet another restricted information. I assume that it was talking about some Language but was there a connection?...' Konrad sighed. Yet another mystery to the collection...
He grabbed another prize Ball and his resigned Expression once again brightened in excitement.
It was the Fire Magic Spell Book!
Konrad quickly opened the prize and in its place a thin books with a crimson cover appeared making his smile even wider.


[• Spell Book - Magic fundamentals (Fire) •]
| Rank - C
| Condition - Perfect
| Description - A book that contains fundamental knowledge about Fire based Magic and magical formations. It was translated upon being obtained, to suit it's owner Konrad Caster.
__________

Konrad was already getting tired from having so many thing to research but he steeled himself and only briefly looked through the pages. One thing he quickly understood...the book was entirely in his own language! Meaning there was no Magical language used in anything, even Magical Formations, making him understood that it was designed so that he could accordingly replace it with the words from any Magic Language that he wanted. That actually made sense as it was basically a magical theory book and not a spell book in a specific Language. I mean, it was a Spell book, but it contained the spells in their raw form needing for him to apply a Magical Language for the Spell to actually work. It wasn't really the type of approach he would usually do, because thanks to the Language Comprehension Orb, the Magical Languages are for him completely natural and he can just think up the formation using the Magic Language from the very beginning. But that didn't change the fact that some of this things were actually new for him and it opened a number of possibilities for his magic to become even stronger!
With yet another sigh Konrad closed the book and hid it inside of his inventory. 'Opening now, Research later...' He thought inwardly.
Finally the last to open and the most mysterious of all the one hundred twenty two rewards appeared in his hand. It was a legendary reward, yet the name didn't give anything away only making him more confused.

[} Broken Sword {]

Yes...The Broken Sword...What could it be? It was time to find out! Konrad wiled the reward to open itself and a blinding light appeared in its place forcing Konrad to shield his eyes and Octavia to jump back by a bit.
When the light finally subsided, what was left in its place was a small piece of metal...It looked like a shattered fragment of a silver-purple damascus blade with a really beautiful pattern. It was only ten centimeters long, but even with only that, Konrad could tell that it would have been one of the most beautiful weapons he ever witnessed if it was in its perfect state. 
That led him to his first question, but before he could voice it, Octavia was already speaking for both of them...
*But...If it's a legendary reward then...Why is it broken Daddy?*

I'll be updating every 2-3 days because I'm currently studying (Curse the damn virus!) and I fell like its the optimal time so I don't fell rushed or anything like this.

After arriving in the city of Liante, Bartoli, felt like she did not take enough care of her master. So after returning to her residence in the evening, she began to come up with a new cooking recipe that fit Abel's taste.
Because basic ingredients could be purchased using Magic Stone, Bartoli bought a lot of basic ingredients. She knew that there was no need to save up the magic stone for ingredients since she knew Abel had a lot of them--although she didn't know that Abel could fuse intermediate magic stone and advanced magic stone with the Horadric Cube.
Just the magic stone's attracted by Johnson was enough to fill up a portal bag. There were also hundreds of intermediate magic stones that Abel gave to her, so except for cases for high-end food materials, surviving in Liante City was not a problem. They can just go out of the city and buy whatever they needed. Abel had a lot of portal bags. He just needed to bring a few more.
She also had the 1000 points that she just got from Abel, But she also saw how Abel's looked at the super redemption items. The points should still be used where they were most needed.
Abel watched Bartoli trying to make a meal today, and from her operation, Abel knew that she had learned cooking for a while, although this was rare among the nobles, maybe some nobles like the feeling when they cook.
In Abel 's opinion, the cooking level of this era was still very primitive, and it was different from the cooking techniques of his original world. In the past, he had no time and lazy hands, but now he had Bartoli, was it possible to write some cooking techniques for her?
Abel liked to enjoy himself. He missed the taste of the world before, but he had no time to study cooking. Of course, if the skill tree of the Horadric cube could let him use cooking into skills, he can still think about it.
Now that Bartoli showed an interest, Abel decided to help her.
Although Abel wasn't that good at cooking--it can only be said to be at a beginner level--as his mental strength became higher, his memories of the previous world became clearer.
He took out the quill pen, a stack of parchment paper, and kept recalling and writing on the parchment paper.
From the most basic fried, deep-fried, cooked, pasted, roasted, stewed, steamed, radon, the basics were written down one by one. Each of them had well-known cooking dishes to help Bartoli.
Abel wrote these cooking techniques very quickly, sorted it out from memory, and transcribed it directly on parchment paper. Although there was a lot of content, it did not take much time.
After writing everything, he discovered one of the most important things, that was, the lack of flavoring agents in this world. Although the most important main flavoring agent "rabbit essence" already exists, But to change the taste, other auxiliary flavoring agents were needed.
He glanced at the Kong Kong spiritual beast portal bag. When he left the elven clan, he took a large amount of various medicinal materials. He selected some peculiarly tasted materials with ordinary prices--medicinal materials that could replace seasoning materials such as onion, ginger, chili, garlic, etc.
At this time, Abel did everything to satisfy his appetite and did not realize his dietary theory and the Holy Continent's were another completely different concepts. He simply wrote a book on dining, but the dietary changes to the Holy Continent far exceeded his changes as a blacksmith master.
"Bartoli, come here!" Abel halted Bartoli, who was still experimenting with how to add "rabbit essence" to the food.
"Master!" Bartoli stopped everything and walked to Abel to bow and salute.
"This is a book I wrote on making food. You can experiment with what I wrote above to see if it's possible to do!"Abel gave Bartoli the parchment book he had just written.
"Master, can you actually write a book about cooking?" 
Bartoli's surprise was understandable. She knew that Abel was a noble, but not all nobles would learn to cook like her, especially male nobles. It was basically impossible for them to cook. Although she knew that Abel was very good at barbequing, she thought they were just survival skills during expeditions, not cooking. 
"I'm waiting for you to make the food in my book so that I can eat delicious food!" Abel took out a few small bags with a smile and then said: " These are spices that accompany this book. Take them together and study them! "
"Yes, master!" Bartoli took the book to study on her own.
Of course, there was nothing special about the dinner, just the soup, and mashed potatoes with 'rabbit essence.' It was good to eat, just a bit monotonous.
After having dinner, Bartoli found Abel again.
"Master, I have studied the recipes you have prepared. I don't have many ingredients in Liante. Can I go out and buy them?" Bartoli took this matter very seriously because this was the true butler task that Abel gave to her for the first time, she was going to leave Liant City to buy ingredients to report to Abel.
"No, go to the Blacksmith Guild, use the contact circle there to contact Bernie of the Goff family, and let him send some ingredients through the Blacksmith Guild Teleportation Circle regularly!" Bernie won't care about this." Abel couldn't let Bartoli go outside the city every day.
After seven days passed, Abel's lifestyle was very stable. Sometimes during the day he went to the blacksmith's guild to read the materials, sometimes he practiced the knight 'charge' in the yard, at night he entered the dark world to sweep the prison, and Bartoli was like crazy. Using the kitchen on the side of the courtyard as a wizard's research room.
In the past two days, Abel has been able to eat dishes made by Bartoli that were very similar to Chinese food. Due to the different materials and condiments, there was still some difference in the taste, but these dishes still made him very satisfied.
At noon on that day, Bartoli set up a table of good dishes early. They were the results of her seven days of research. Of course, according to her ideas, these seven days were just some of the previous dishes she could master. If she really wants to study in-depth, she didn't think she could master Abel's book without at least three years.
"Steamed eggs, boiled fish, sweet and sour tenderloin, pork rib soup with salad, Bartoli, your cooking is getting more and more delicious" Abel smelled the 'rabbit essence' It was much better than the previous 'chicken essence' or broth, so the imitation dishes actually made were better than the original taste.
"Master, you're wrong. It's not that I'm getting better at cooking, but that your recipes are good. I just cook them according to what you recorded!" Bartoli can see that Abel was very happy, and couldn't help but smile.
"That's still good. Let's sit down and eat together!" Abel said to Bartoli.
In the Holy Continent, the normal host rarely ate with the housekeeper, but sometimes invited the housekeeper to eat together as a reward. Bartoli thought that it was Abel who invited her to eat together to reward her work.
In fact, Abel was thinking about the habit of Chinese food at this time. Traditionally, Chinese food was meant to be eaten together. 
Just as Abel was about to start eating, the gate of the courtyard was flapped. He couldn't help but hesitate. He had no friends here. If someone from the Blacksmith 's Guild or the Wizard 's Guild found him, just use the ID card to contact him. They won't come to his house to bother him.
"Master, shall I open the door?" Bartoli glanced at Abel, revealing an inquiring look.
"Go, see who it was!" Abel nodded. He was also curious who would find him in this way in this city.
Bartoli opened the door, and a haggard old man stood in front of the door. The double staff badge on his chest showed that he was an intermediate wizard. When he found that the person who opened the door for him was also an intermediate wizard, he quickly bowed to the wizard.


I was reincarnated into another world, and I brought the Horadric Cube from Diablo II with me. 
Being a knight is cool and all, but being a wizard is pretty neat as well.
So, which one will it be?

"oooh~ This is awesome. hehehe. Can you gave me some shop points, Asteria?"

[I can't allow that. You need to work hard. Start doing mission.]

"You're such a meanie.", Yi Xue said in a flirty manner.

[F**k off]

"?!", Yi Xue was shocked by the sudden cussed of his system, "Where the hell did you learn that?"

[From you. Are you an idiot? You're the only one who can hear me!]

"Hmph. Then I'm sorry for being dumb. Now, open the [Inventory]"

"Hahaha! Then what are we waiting to open it!"

[Good. Now do it before you die.]

"What?! Can I rest for a min—"

"Nooo!!!", Yi Xue screamed as he heads out outside to start running.

After doing the daily exercise, Yi Xue changes into his new clothes and also take a bath. He looks around and feels that his house is a little small for someone like him.

"Should I buy a new house?"

[I suggest not. You should do work to acquire money. I estimated that your money will not last long since you like doing experiments.]

"Hmm... That is right. Asteria, what do you think I should do?"

[Made a street food stand then use the skill that you've got in the Lucky Draw.]

"That godly thing?"

[Yes, that 'godly thing' is actually delicious. Try it yourself but first, buy a Cooking skill since you've recently acquired an SP.]

"Are you trying to sna—"

[This is for your sake and my sake.]

"What? Anyways, buy that Cooking Skill, already."

[Buying...]
[You've acquired a Cooking Skill. (Level:1)]
[Warning: Practice your cooking skill to level 2 so you can cook the Godly Deep-Fried Dough Sticks (Sub-Cooking).]

"This system is a f**king scam!", Yi Xue shouted in dismay while walling.

Experimenting on his own body to achieve a great money system. Let’s see what Yi Xue will do when he finishes his Money-maker system…

After opening the Shop window he choose the Skills section. After seeing the skills he let out a sigh. He was remembering how he couldn't even buy one skill. Now with a better income of coins it was all easier. 

He needed to check how much coins he had right now. 

Coins: 3 silver 5 copper

Chris felt something was wrong. How could the amount be so little? He decided to ask the system.

"System why do I have such a low amout of coins?"

'Your pets have nothing to eat in the dungeons, so the system is set to use coins to buy the food and sending it there.'

Chris slapped his face. He totally forgot about them needed to eat food. It looked like they almost used more coins than they earned. The difference was about 59 copper or so. Well it's true that he used quite some coins for himself too. 

Food, clothes, information. He bought all that and forgot about it too.

Buying novice level skills was all he could buy from the skill section. Actually everything ranked novice in the Shop tab was worth 1 silver with some exceptions.

Now with only 3 silver coins, he could choose some skills to purchase. But those wouldn't be too usable for working. Some of the novice skills were more for the daily life.

There were those like cooking, cleaning, washing... Actually looking at the skills, some were quite useful.

Let's take cooking for example. The only problem was having ingredients right? In exchange of that, the more you level the skill up the tastier food you could eat. 

Chris decided to buy himself Cooking (novice) skill book, Fire spell and Water spell. Those were the most suitable for him right now. Cooking skill was explined earlier. He could eat better food with it being leveled up.

Fire spell could be used for burning the wasted food that he couldn't eat, making fire for himself to be warm and maybe get some resistances if by some possibility he turned masochistic or lastly it could be used to burn down wooden buildings that he would build by training the Building (novice) skill.

Then the Water spell could be used to wash himself up. He hoped he could produce warm water too, but if that didn't work he could still do it with cold water. He would maybe get sick, but that was another way to train some other resistances.

Chris sighed. There were so many paths to take. He started thinkning about battles too. Maybe he could team up with some people to hunt monsters after he gets stronger. But there was still a problem which role he would take. There were many possibilities like warrior, tank, archer, healer...

After thinking for a while Chris found out that he would be better on the backlane. So a support role and maybe an archer also. Well why not both together. Nobody could stop him from doing that so why not try it. 

But now was not the time. He decided he would lay low for some years. He would get stronger without hunting monsters. If others knew about that they would started puking blood from anger. 

You have a cheat ability and you wouldn't use it to get stronger faster. 

But looking from another angle, Chris's idea was actually very good. There was no danger and he had no one to stop him.

Now back to the skill and spells he bought. He first consumed Fire and Water spells. Now those spells were added to the list of his skills. After that he picked the Cooking skill and wanted to consume it. 

After clicking yes for confimation, there appeared an error. It said that he already had this skill.  He immediately opened his status and checked his skills. There really was a Cooking skills there. He totally forgot about it.

He was about to cry. He wasted money. What could he do with this right now? Throw it away? He didn't he the heart to do so. 

Well no use worrying abotu it now. What was done was done. He couldn't change it. But he had an idea.

Was it possible to make someone else consume this skill book? He first looked at the maid and used Appraisal on her. Sadly she has the cooking skill already. As she was a maid, cooking was one of the necessary skills she had to have.

After thinking some more he decided to go out and find someone to try it on. He went to the market. There were alot of disciples there. It was always busy as people needed things to boost their stats. He randomly chose someone and went to him.

The skill book was invisible so others couldn't see it. He touched someone with that Cooking skill book. Immediately a system window appeared before him.

'Does user want to give Meng Ye a Cooking (novice) skill. Yes/No?'

Chris was very happy at this moment. He clicked Yes.

Meng Ye shuddered a little and looked around. He saw nothing. Chris already left very fast. At that moment Meng Ye felt something pop up in his head. It was telling him that he got another skill.

He was shocked. How did this happen? Is this my good luck? Luckily he was quite rich so he hurried to scan himself for the skills.

He paid the money and got scanned. After looking at his status he saw Cooking (novice) lvl 1 skill. His mind was in mess. There were two choices right now. He could reveal this to the Elder or just hide it. 

His mind was telling him it would be better to reveal that. He went directly to Elder and they both went to the back room. There Meng Ye told him what happened. 

Elders interest was piqued by this. Someone just got a skill by doing nothing that the skill required. That has never happened before. Well maybe it has, but it is unheard of. He needed to report this to the Sect head.

This is shocking news. After the Sect head got to know this, he called up a meeting of every upper echelon member in the sect.

Chris.
A normal human being.
In a different world with a system.
What can happen?
Can he avoid troubles?
Can he beat everyone?
Can he be free?
But most importantly
Can he be strong? Also lazy.

Iin 2072 the first real like vr game < Divine Myth > was realise by the world government.

Nick was satisfied with the number of domineering points he had gotten, and now he knew how to gather the points in the future, basically, domineering points were given if he acting cool or fierce.




[Status]




[Name: Nick Michelson




Title: The Slayer Of Scorpions




Cultivation Level: Profound realm rank 9




Physical Body Level: None




Cultivation Technique: Star Devouring Dragon manual




Physical Body Skill: None


Skill: Dragon eyes




Exp:5,000/20,000




Domineering points: -800




Bloodlines: Heaven devouring Ancient Dragon bloodline]








Now he only needed 800 more to get out of his debt and unlock the shop, but sadly since the Blobgangs cultivation levels weren't high he only got a few experience points not even enough to advance to the Origin realm.




After buying a Luxurious carriage and hiring a professional driver, he set off to adventure around the world with the two hyper kids who couldn't stop jumping around in the carriage refusing to let him close his eyes and relax.




Since he couldn't rest he decided on opening the system gift bags, in anticipation he first opened the spirit realm gift bag.




Ding! Opening the Spirit realm gift bag, the host has obtained-one hundred spirit stones, Main quest card, and cooking skill book.




Since he knew what the spirit stones were he decided to check out what the other two gifts meant.




[Main quest card: Gives host a certain objective to be completed within a set amount of time, after completion the host shall obtain a substantial reward.]




[Cooking skill book: Seen from the host's sincere love of cooking, the system has provided the host with a cooking manual that has instructions on ways to cook everything between heaven and earth.]




Hmm? The Main quest card looks pretty good, but the cooking book is a little bit overpowered isn't it?




You have to understand this book represented not only cooking knowledge but also lists out and identify ingredients meaning he will have knowledge of all creatures between heaven and earth.




Satisfied he opened the profound realm gift card next.




Ding! Opening the Profound realm gift bag, the host has obtained-one hundred Profound stones, Fifty percent discount card from the system shop, and the Disguise skill book.




Nick's jaw dropped, A hundred spirit stones were considered not bad since each stone gave him fifty Exp each, but a hundred profound stones was another matter entirely since each stone gave him two thousand Exp.




As for the fifty percent discount card, it didn't need an explanation but he wouldn't know if it was useful or not until the systems store is unlocked and he could see the merchandise.




Finally, he turned his head towards the Disguise skill book.




[Disguise skill book: has ten levels and in the last level host can impersonate a creature's cultivation level but without their actual power of course. And with each level increase, the host can deceive any being with a higher rank.]




This was even more overpowered than the first book, this means if he could deceive people two ranks above him before, then maybe when he reaches the next level of the technique he could deceive someone that is three or four ranks above him then.




Also, it said impersonate any creature meaning it didn't have to be human.




Oh, long live the emperor meeee! Nick was so excited he grabbed the to kids and gave them a good wet kiss on each of their foreheads!!




Then he yelled, "Isn't your big brother the most handsome, isn't he the coolest, isn't he the strongest?!!"




After asking the kids he didn't even wait for a response as he immediately turned his attention to the last gift bag.




Dean and Maggy started questioning their choices, did they choose to follow a crazy person?! But he was alright a moment ago, what happened to him?!




But then, they remembered, whenever their mom acted unreasonably and did weird things around the house, their dad always used to say 'It's her time of the month again!' then maybe it was also Nicks time of the month too... 




Then after they both took another glance at Nick they found him giggling cross-eyed which only served to prove their previous theory even more, so they decided to do what their dad always did in these situations, they would agree with anything he says with a smile and nod, just smile and nod.




If Nick Knew what the siblings were thinking he would have jumped out of the moving carriage and asked the driver to loan him the whip, to teach them a thing or two.




Ding! Opening the System activation gift bag, the host has obtained-Long distance teleportation talisman, 500 domineering points, and Transcendence level Crimsom steps skill book.




[Long distance teleportation talisman: the host can mark a place in advance and use the teleportation talisman to teleport to where the host previously set the mark. (One use item)]




[Crimsom steps: has three levels and is a transcendence level speed technique, it uses powerful sky flames to boost the hosts' speed and can even allow the host to use the flames for attacks!]




Nick was extremely happy with the rewards he obtained, the Long distance teleportation talisman was a great escape treasure that could one day save his life, the only sad part was that it was a one-use item.




Now the crimson steps speed technique was transcendence technique unlike the other two unranked skill books, which meant it was a technique with a cultivation limit, unlike the other two.




Nick was happy with his gains, but he couldn't wait to start cultivating so he stared at all the gifts revolving around in his head and first accepted the spirit stones.




At that moment Dean and Maggy saw one hundred spirit stones appearing in the air and falling down in the metallic carriage.




They had never seen these many spirit stones in their life so they were tempted to grab a few, but then they saw them vanishing one by one as soon as Nick clutched them.




Exp+50
Exp+50
Exp+50
Exp+50




After absorbing ninety-eight spirit stones he gave the remaining two to the drooling kids, one spirit stone each.




After that, he accepted the Profound stones from the system and the same thing happened as the carriage was now filled with profound stones but before the kids could even process what was happening, Nick began absorbing the stones.




Ding! Congratulations host for reaching the Origin realm rank 1!




Ding! Congratulations host for reaching the Origin realm-Reward-Origin realm Gift bag!




He had just finished opening the gift bags when he got another one, Nick felt dejected, it was so tiring opening bag after bag...




After he reached the Origin realm the amount of Exp the profound stones provided decreased, but that didn't stop him from absorbing them all!




Seeing that he had reached the fifth rank of the origin realm so quickly he couldn't help feeling that cultivation was not that exciting.




Sighing heavily he activated the Main quest card.




[Main quest




Every Emperor needs a palace, and as the one true Emperor how could the host be any different. This quest's objective is for the host to collect building materials for the host's Imperial palace! The host can not level up to the gathering realm before completing the quest and shall remain within the origin realm.




Objective: Dark heavenly gold-five hundred tons, Holy spirit jade-Five hundred tons, Star confining space stone-fifty kilograms, and two dragon eggs of any kind!




Reward: The blueprints and building of the imperial palace and level up directly to the transcendence realm!




"Fuck!!!!! Fuck you, system!! Fuck you old geezer!!!"

A group of thugs ended Nick's first life.

Now, in a foreign world where Immortality and godhood were achievable, he shall strive to reach the Peak of Cultivation!

But wait, he also has the Emperor's System that gives him multiple missions with corresponding rewards. Some missions were difficult, some were easy, and some were...weird.

Ding! Sudden mission from the System's guide, poison the entire royal family with laxatives!

The System was determined to clog all the toilets in the royal palace!
