Gourmet of Another World

Bu Fang’s face grew serious. He helped Nethery into a chair, then gave the fight outside the restaurant a deep look. A moment later, he turned and walked into the kitchen.

“Special reward task announcement. Does the Host want to accept it?” A serious voice rang out in Bu Fang’s mind. The System, who had not answered any of his inquiries, finally spoke.

Bu Fang had just lifted the kitchen’s curtain when he heard the voice, and that gave him a pause. He took a deep breath and asked, “What’s the special reward task?” The information about the previous host had somehow filled his thoughts.

“Complete the task, and the Host will receive the System’s special reward,” the System answered seriously.

Bu Fang remained silent for a while. That did not answer his question.

“What’s the task?”

“Special reward task: Cook a dish from the God of Cooking’s Menu, Three-cup Divine Chicken.”

Cooking?

Bu Fang was slightly taken aback. He didn’t expect that the task the System gave him at this critical time was to cook a dish. “Hold on…” Suddenly, he seemed to see light flashing before his eyes. “System, what is the God of Cooking’s Menu?” he asked impatiently, sucking in a cold breath.

However, the System didn’t answer him this time. It fell silent.

“The Three-cup Divine Chicken possesses a vast spirit essence that can suppress the power of the Source of Curses. Does the Host want to accept the task?” the System said in a serious voice.

Bu Fang was speechless. He thought that the System must be doing this on purpose. It knew he wanted to suppress the curse in Nethery, so it deliberately announced this task at this moment. It gave him no reason to refuse! Still, he felt something strange about the task, mainly because it was announced at this point in time.

Something struck him suddenly, and he narrowed his eyes and asked, “What are the risks of this task?”

The System remained silent for a while before saying, “The Host will receive a special reward after successfully cooking the dish from the God of Cooking’s Menu. If the cooking failed… the Host will be wiped out.

“A friendly reminder: The dishes in the God of Cooking’s Menu have magical effects when eaten for the first time.”

If he failed… he would be wiped out?!

The answer petrified Bu Fang.

‘But, according to what the System said, if I can make the dish… perhaps it can completely suppress the curse in Nethery? If that’s true…’ Bu Fang glanced at Nethery, who sat leaning on the chair with a pale face. He took a deep breath with a straight face.

“System, with the current level of my cooking skills, what are the odds of me successfully cooking the dish?” Bu Fang asked an important question.

The System didn’t answer right away as if it was calculating. After a long time, it said, “After careful calculation, the odds of the Host successfully cooking a dish from the God of Cooking’s Menu are two to ten.”

‘A twenty-percent success rate?! Are you kidding me, System?’ The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched as his eyes flickered.

“Fine, I accept the task.”

Although the success rate was low, at least it meant he still had hope, and if there was hope, he should fight for it. Slow and steady was good, but if he wanted to go higher, he needed to take risks.

At this moment, Bu Fang felt as if there was a fire burning in his chest. Whatever the System’s intentions were, he had only one thought in his mind now: he would cook the dish!
