"Didn't you say at the beginning that we had to ensure both quality and quantity, and that there was nothing shameful about using the latest equipment? I didn't intend to cheat and learned how to use it from the chef, but in the end I still compromised, didn't I? And you changed your mind faster than turning the pages of a book."
"Indeed, I'm someone whose mindset is particularly susceptible to change. Perhaps it's precisely because of this that I excel in many things, but I'm always just one step away from reaching the highest level."
"If you're just one step away from the highest realm, you're mocking me—and people like Senior Sister Lian Shuiyin—you're even being unfair to your newest disciple. I know he's no longer my senior brother, but he once fought harder than anyone else. He fought harder than anyone else, yet he still couldn't reach your level. And yet you're still teasing yourself about not being an elite—" Gong Yi Tianhe, who had already caught up, laughed, "It's like you're deliberately showing off."
"No, maybe in the eyes of others, whether it's swordsmanship or cooking, I seem to be quite good enough - but in reality, that's not the case. I'm just above average. As long as you're not so bad at this field that no matter how hard you try, you still can't do it. As long as you have enough time and effort, you can actually do it -"
Chu Shangli paused briefly and smiled bitterly, "However, if I want to advance to the next level and become an existence that no one can compare to, I need to be extremely focused - do nothing else, and just devote all my energy, spirit, and research spirit to it - at least at this stage, I can't do that."
"But, being proficient in many fields doesn't mean you can't simultaneously advance many abilities to the highest level, right? You're judging yourself by the standards of ordinary people—"
"Because, I'm not so conceited as to think I'm beyond the realm of ordinary people."
Chu Shangli took out the ingredients from the food cabinet and piled them on the table. "I also hope that one day, I can choose just one of these things as a hobby to devote my life to - but, obviously, I haven't encountered such a hobby yet."
You are lying - Chu Shangli silently complained to himself in his heart.
There is no doubt that I am lying now——
She already had a lifelong passion, which was to take these ingredients that her fingers now touched, and transform their form and taste into something completely different.
From simple eggs, milk, and sugar, it can be transformed into many different foods.
Just by changing the temperature and processing method, it can be transformed into various magical forms.
However, I haven't had the chance to focus until now.
Perhaps starting from now is a good opportunity, but Chu Shangli also knows that now is not the time to focus on this——
If I were to devote myself completely to cooking now, I might miss out on some very important facts that I never learned in my entire past life.
And these facts will become bombs at some point, detonating her peace once again.
I have to piece together all the lost truths from my previous life so that I can do what I really want to do with peace of mind.
Moreover, although she knew that dependence was not a good thing, she did have a special power now, which was enough for her to reuse time after learning the truth.
"You took out the materials."
My past self rested his elbows on the table, chin in his hand, and smiled coldly: "It seems that you are already aware of it and prepared."
Chu Shangli looked at his past self and approached her——
"Okay." My past self nodded. "If you're so excited, I'll accompany you."
"Ali——"
Wei Shengfan, who had clearly only gone to the bathroom but was breathless, pressed his hand against the door frame: "You have to be careful, maybe this woman, she just wants to play some tricks -"
