Although it was shocking, Shopkeeper Taki finally had to accept the reality.

A dog can actually hold a kitchen knife in its mouth and cut fruits and vegetables, and it does it very well.

The most important thing is that it can display the same cooking skills and cooking intentions as Lu Ran before with just an ordinary kitchen knife without the help of any extraordinary energy.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Taki felt a little dizzy.

It was still hard for her to imagine that a chef could actually train a dog to use cooking skills and culinary ideas.

"You are not simple people." Shopkeeper Taki rubbed his temple and looked at the man and the dog.

"Then we can practice together."

"A good chef must have a pet to assist him. Of course... I will have someone send more fruits every day for you to practice with."

“Remember to take plating seriously. The ingredients you use up after practice are to be served as gifts to diners. They should still be on the table without making a mess.”

Shopkeeper Taki had a strange expression on his face, not knowing whether what he was doing was appropriate.

If the guests of Frost Moon Tower knew that the fruit platter served as a gift was cut by a dog, would they still accept it?

Never mind. No problem.

It is not uncommon for pets to help chefs cook, but more than 90% of the time, fire-type pets are responsible for controlling the heat. However, it is not uncommon for pets to help cut vegetables and handle complex ingredients! Well, that's it, it makes sense for dogs to be able to cook.

We can't waste food, it's shameful.

Shopkeeper Long convinced himself, and then told Lu Ran and Mr. Ha about the daily food delivery time, the prescribed training time, and the restaurant's peak dining time, and asked Lu Ran to make reasonable arrangements.

"It's still early today, so you guys just continue practicing." Shopkeeper Taki spoke and was about to leave. It was useless for her to keep watching Lu Ran until he completed this stage of special training.

But Lu Ran would definitely not let the proprietress leave so easily, he still had something to ask.

"Manager Long, wait a moment!" Lu Ran said, "I have one more thing I want to ask."

"Hmm?" Shopkeeper Taki looked at Lu Ran.

"I was just flipping through the books in my room and saw that Emperor Yan Sizhen once used the Dragon's Cooking Skill to cook a dish that was exclusive to the dragon family. If I also want to learn the Dragon's Cooking Skill in the future, is there any suitable method..."

"Oh, you are really ambitious." Shopkeeper Long rolled his eyes and said, "One kitchen idea is not enough!"

Lu Ran smiled slightly.

"Generally speaking, great cooking skills and culinary ideas are inherited. For example, when you come to Shuangyue Tower, you can only learn skills within the normal range at most. If you want to learn the real housekeeping skills, you have to become a disciple."

"Due to the special nature of Dragon's culinary intention, there are indeed many chefs on the mainland who are pursuing this culinary intention. I actually know a holy place for cultivation to comprehend Dragon's culinary intention." Shopkeeper Taki touched his chin and glanced at Lu Ran.

"Although Emperor Yan Sizhen passed away, not all of his pets died. One of his fire dragon pets is still sleeping somewhere like a sacred beast that protects the country."

"That place is full of dragon power. Apart from it, there are no other living creatures. Many chefs who pursue the ultimate in cooking will go there to feel the spiritual pressure from the 'overlord dragon clan' so that they can understand the dragon's cooking intentions."

"Over the years, there have been some successes and some failures. Most of them have failed, while the successful ones are honored as 'Dragon Chefs' in the chef world."

Lu Ran: “!”

"I see. Thank you, Shopkeeper Taki."

"Practice, and practice the Ice Cooking Skill first. Don't think too much. Not everyone can go to that place. Only the best chefs can go there for further training. If you want to go, you must at least pass the special chef assessment, right? In addition, the Dragon Cooking Skill is indeed not suitable for a novice like you. If you want to go further in the culinary world, it would be better for you to learn the 'Flame Cooking Skill'." Shopkeeper Taki waved his hand and this time he really left.

Lu Ran, on the other hand, began to think about what the other person had just said.

Currently, in the Beast Taming Empire, is there a chef who has comprehended the Dragon's Cooking Intentions by cooking under the Dragon's might?! If the special chef assessment is over and there is a chance, you can go there and take a look.

This might be a cultivation environment that is difficult to replicate on Blue Star. After all, on Blue Star, let alone the purebred dragons of the dominant race, even the purebred dragons of the king race are only Dr. Gu’s.

It was impossible for Lu Ran to ask Dr. Gu's pet to serve as a sparring partner for him. As a senior member of the Beast Taming Alliance, the other party was very busy every day, and no one knew how long it would take to comprehend the Dragon Chef's intention.

Although it is not impossible to find dragons in the secret realms, they are generally high-level secret realms, and the opponents will not honestly release the dragon power to cooperate. Comprehensively speaking, the Beast Taming Empire's national guardian fire dragon is the best choice.

Soon, Lu Ran initially determined how to use this breakthrough secret realm to obtain the most perfect benefits.

1. In the daily cooking process, exercise your own and Mr. Ha's abilities, such as blizzard sword intent and energy control skills.

2. Through the culinary skills you have practiced, you can be promoted to a top chef and complete the breakthrough mission.

3. If conditions permit, use the remaining time to explore the world in depth, learn from the "dragon chefs" of this world, and practice hard on the dragon's culinary skills. You don't have to learn it all, but it would be best if you could gain something.

"Boss Ha, hurry up." Lu Ran looked at Boss Ha who was holding a kitchen knife in his mouth.

Although the success of the blizzard sword intent gave him a slight advantage in breaking through the secret realm, God did not treat him particularly well.

Where there are successes, there are also failures.

For example, before he came here, he exchanged a large amount of crystal coins for dog food, but who knows, meals are provided for further study in Frost Moon Tower.

Of course, although meals are provided, they are definitely ordinary meals. Mr. Ha should eat rare dog food or rare quality food. However, if Lu Ran knew about the secret realm earlier, he would definitely take out half of his belongings to buy more Qingling Fruits to prepare for practicing Dragon Sword Intent...

………

In a blink of an eye, three days had passed since Lu Ran reached the breakthrough secret realm.

During the past three days, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha have been making the simplest fruit platter in the kitchen. One person and one dog, they have no idea how much fruit they have cut. Lu Ran is almost evolving from a beast tamer to a fruit ninja.

"Master Wang, I'm here to get a new fruit plate." After finishing several plates at the same time, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha were out of breath, their heads heavy. They had not expected that using sword power to cut fruit would be such a mentally exhausting task. At this time, a waiter pushed the door open and smiled at Lu Ran and Mr. Ha.

"Over there, take it away." Lu Ran pointed to several fruit platters on the table.

"Okay." The waiter said as he took away the steaming cold fruit platter. Although this small plate of fruit was not valuable, it was given to diners as a gift in this hot summer and won a lot of reputation for Frost Moon Tower.

It is the lunch rush hour and the waiter is very efficient. He quickly takes the fruit plate and delivers it to the customer.

"Sir, please wait for your meal. Here is a plate of frozen fruit platter for you to cool down." The waiter first came to a private room and presented gifts to a young couple in luxurious clothes.

"That's thoughtful." The girl in luxurious clothes looked at the fruit plate that was still steaming from the cold and smiled slightly. The store owner... is quite creative.

On the fruit plate, three kinds of fruits were arranged into the shape of a puppy.

Dogs, loyal creatures domesticated from wolves, were the best hunting partners in the early days of the Beast Taming Empire and had many beautiful meanings.

"Thank you for your hard work." The man threw out a few coins as a tip to the waiter.

The waiter immediately smiled, thanked him repeatedly, and then walked out.

After he left, the two people in the box began to talk: "Miss Yu, Shuangyue Restaurant is the best restaurant in our Tianlan Province. You have traveled all the way, so you should eat more of the food later... Come, eat some fruit first to whet your appetite."

"You eat too," she said.

"Okay, I'll eat too." The elegant young man smiled, picked up a piece of melon and put it in his mouth.

Hmm! As soon as he put it in his mouth, he felt a refreshing coolness gushing out in his mouth. The sweet and cold juice burst in his mouth. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but clench the chopsticks tightly.

After taking a bite, the man felt as if he had eaten something extraordinary, and all the pores on his body shrank.

“Ah~”

The man could not help but yelled, his eyes blurred, for an instant, he seemed to be in the ice and snow, riding an ice wolf, galloping on the snowfield. The heat brought by the scorching summer day just now disappeared in an instant.

"That's great!" he said.

But soon, the man reacted, only to find that the girl opposite was looking at him with strange eyes.

The man blushed and said awkwardly: "No, no, there is something wrong with this platter, try it..."

The girl looked suspicious, wondering if the blind date her family introduced to her had any serious illness. He was a well-known second-generation rich man in Ningchuan, so he wouldn't have an orgasm just by eating a melon, right?

The girl surnamed Yu also picked up a piece of orange and put it in her mouth...

The next moment...

"Hmm..." The girl shuddered all over, and the sweet and sour juice burst in her mouth. She instantly felt that she had traveled through an ice field, and was blown up to the sky by a cold wind, bathing in the wind and snow. The cold touch seemed to have ripped off her clothes, allowing her to blend with the ice and snow, and instantly rescued her from the scorching summer.

The girl in gorgeous clothes squeezed her legs together, exhaled cold air, and felt her whole body cool down. This feeling...

"It's delicious." She couldn't help but speak, her eyes wandering.

The next moment, she also reacted. The two looked at each other awkwardly, then looked at the puppy fruit platter on the table and fell into deep thought.

“What’s wrong with this platter…” The elegant man picked up another piece and put it in his mouth. Unfortunately, the same feeling as before was no longer there, and he couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.

"This Frost Moon Tower is really amazing. A fruit platter is of such high quality." The fishing girl couldn't help but pick up another piece of fruit. Unfortunately, she didn't have the same feeling as before and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"This must be the work of a great chef. If it is eaten by an ice-type pet, it might have a miraculous effect." The man said confidently, "Waiter, come here!"

This situation does not only happen in this box.

The fruit platters brought over by the waiter seemed to contain a magical charm different from the past. In the bustling restaurant, exclamations of surprise rang out one after another.

"Damn, what's up with this platter today? It's so exciting!"

"After taking a bite, I felt like I was in winter again. I had drunk some wine and felt like peeing, but now I'm frozen."

"Waiter, do you have any platters left? Bring another one. We don't want you to give it to us. We'll buy it with our own money!!"

There was a sudden bustle in the Frost Moon Building. The guests who had just enjoyed the fruit platters asked for more, wanting to experience again that magical taste that made their spirits happy.

Those who didn’t get to eat the dish, seeing the surrounding customers’ intense reactions, also asked the waiter to bring a plate quickly.

"Oh my." At this time, Shopkeeper Long came down from upstairs. Seeing the lively situation, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "It only took three days to extend the retention time of the cooking idea a lot. You are really talented."

"But if we continue like this, we'll be at a loss." Before, from the kitchen to the table, customers could only experience the cold fruits. But now, as Lu Ran and his team incorporated the blizzard sword intent into the food, customers can already taste one or two bites of the delicious food. Shopkeeper Taki feels that fruits can no longer be given away for free.

Well...it's time to charge.

"Shopkeeper, a guest in the private room wants to see you. He says he is from the City Lord's Mansion." At this time, a waiter hurried upstairs and ran to Shopkeeper Long to say a few words. Hearing this, Shopkeeper Long nodded and said, "Lead the way."

…………

At the moment, Lu Ran was still busy cutting fruits, as tired as a dog.

After three days of practice, the blizzard sword intent can now be maintained in the outside world for a longer period of time.

Although it was said to be three days, in fact, for Lu Ran and Mr. Ha, it was equivalent to six days of practice. After all, through the positive and negative super-beast mimicry, the two of them could share their experiences.

"The retention of cooking intentions should be a kind of energy release technique!"

After a few days, Lu Ran gradually figured out the trick.

The first, second, and third stages of the energy release technique correspond to normal release, release control, and eternal release, respectively.

It is said that the highest realm of energy release is that the released energy moves can stay in the outside world forever and will not dissipate. A beastmaster who has entered the secret realm of breakthrough once revealed that a beastmaster in the Star-Moon Continent used this method to create an artificial sun, which illuminates a dark abyss forever. Even if the beastmaster and his pet have been gone for decades, the mini sun still stands in the sky, suppressing the darkness.

At this moment, letting the blizzard sword intent stay on the food, Lu Ran felt that he was training towards the realm of eternal release.

Lu Ran had never expected that simply cooking a meal could contain so many tricks and could be combined with exercising one's strength.

"Not bad."

"The few people who came with you have just mastered the basic cooking skills. You can already make the guests rush to order dishes here." When Lu Ran was immersed in cultivation, the voice of the shopkeeper Taki sounded from the outside world.

"Manager Taki?"

"Well done, your cooking style has been able to stay on the ingredients for a certain period of time. Although it is still short, it is also a valuable progress." Shopkeeper Long said: "Just now, a customer even experienced the dishes with cooking style, and he was very excited over there."

"Really?!" Lu Ran's eyes lit up. In fact, he and Mr. Ha had also secretly eaten fruits containing the sword power of blizzard. It was really refreshing in this summer.

Finally someone else has experienced it!

“How’s the feedback?”

"Of course it's great. It seems that it won't be free anymore. We'll start charging from tomorrow, and you and Shuangyue Tower will split the profits!" Shopkeeper Long said with a smile, "Also, I don't know how lucky you are, but the son of Ningchuan City Lord is dining at Shuangyue Tower today, and he also got to eat this fruit platter. In two days, there will be a celebration banquet for Ningchuan City Lord's breakthrough to become a Level 5 Beast Tamer, and he wants to invite you to go to the City Lord's Mansion to cook."

"I told you that you only know how to cut fruit, but the other party still insisted on having you. This is a rare opportunity, so I'll take you there when the time comes."

“This…” Lu Ran was stunned and said, “You want me to go over and make a fruit platter?”

"Yes." Shopkeeper Long said, "This is your chance to show off. The Ningchuan City Lord loves talents, whether they are beast taming geniuses or culinary geniuses. The City Lord's Mansion will also host a banquet for all the young talents in Ningchuan. It won't hurt if you go over and take a look."

“Okay…” Lu Ran heard this. What else could he do? Since it was the city lord’s son who invited him personally, it might be more troublesome if he refused.

…

After the lunch rush hour, Lu Ran returned to his room for a short rest. He planned to continue practicing hard in the afternoon to avoid failing at the banquet.

According to Manager Long, the Lord of Ningchuan City is very generous and loves talents. If Lu Ran performs well that day, he will definitely receive a large reward.

Hearing this, Lu Ran felt that it was still worth a go. He was currently in need of the currency of this world. If he could get a reward, he could exchange it for coins, and then see if there was any place in this world that sold resources that could increase comprehension and learning ability.

At that time, you can buy some to comprehend the Dragon Sword Intent.

Knock, knock, knock! At this time, someone knocked on the door again, and Lu Ran asked, "Who is it?"

"It's us!" A familiar voice came, Lu Ran was stunned, and went to open the door, only to see that it was the five people who entered the breakthrough secret realm with him, Zhilu Weima, Shepi, Bai Ling, Ibeth, and the Mountain Explorer.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Lu Ran spoke and invited them in.

She cried, "Brother, how did you do that? The fruit platter during the day was made by you, right?"

"We are still learning basic cooking skills, how come you have already made 'Internet celebrity dishes'."

"This... I can't teach you either." Lu Ran said with a smile: "I made use of the effect of 'culinary intention' mentioned by Shopkeeper Long. Well, this culinary intention is actually the second stage of energy shaping, artistic conception shaping."

"You must have guessed it."

"Oh." Snake Skin, Iberth, and the Mountain Explorer sighed. They did guess it.

Most likely, Lu Ran’s pet had mastered the art of shaping artistic conception, and then, Lu Ran also learned some special animal taming skills.

"Student Wang, you are so amazing. Your pet has mastered the artistic conception of shaping. Logically speaking, you couldn't have been unknown before. Your name should be on the list of divine pets." Ibeth asked puzzled.

I have never heard of the name King of Sudden Death before.

The mountain explorer asked, "Could it be that your pet, Mr. Wang, is... the leader of a race?"

At this time, Bai Ling finally couldn't help but speak up and said, "Are you all fools?"

"The King of Sudden Death is obviously a fake name. It's understandable that I didn't figure it out before, but now... it's obvious."

"I looked it up. Cooking Intentions is a state of mind in which one holds 'cooking utensils' in one's hand. It is more advanced than ordinary energy shaping. Among the first, second, and third generation nutritionists I know, few have mastered this skill."

"Not to mention the fourth generation."

"Plus, the knife skills he showed earlier didn't seem like they were for cutting vegetables, but rather for clearing obstacles and chopping wild animals, so his identity is obvious."

"In Infinity City, there are only a handful of pets that have amazing comprehension and can comprehend the artistic conception and shape their bodies. Especially, there is only one pet that can infuse the artistic conception into the sword."

"Also, today's fruit platters all have puppy patterns on them... So, you're not the King of Sudden Death at all, you're just an ordinary person in Infinite City No. 3, right?" Bai Ling's reasoning stunned several people.

She stared at Lu Ran, trying to see anything unusual on his expression.

But after Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, he just smiled slightly, then clapped his hands and said, "Great, Sister Baihu is very smart."

"Tsk." Bai Ling curled her lips. Mainly because she was very unhappy with Passerby A. After all, Passerby A had previously run to Infinite City No. 5 and snatched the first place from her.

After her analysis, the other people were already confused and looked at Lu Ran in disbelief... Lu, passerby?

"Don't be like this, don't look at me like that. I'm a socially anxious person, otherwise I wouldn't choose to keep a low profile." Lu Ran smiled.

"So you came here not just to expose my true identity, right?"

The mountain explorer was surprised and said, "You really are... a passerby. Damn, I am from Infinite City No. 3, but I didn't even recognize you."

"In fact, we came here because we got a message that the City Lord of Ningchuan City has reached level five and is going to hold a banquet to celebrate. He plans to invite all the young and talented beastmasters in Ningchuan to attend. I heard that there will be a competition with prizes. The City Lord's Mansion will take out some treasures for the young beastmasters in Ningchuan to compete in the arena. We feel that this should be considered a 'side quest' besides the 'special chef assessment', which can be used to obtain some resources."

"We plan to find an opportunity to go there and see if we can compete for some resources with our strength. We came here to ask if you are interested." Shepi spoke, but he was silent at this time. MMP, Bai Ling and Passerby A, the two first on the Divine Pet List, there is no way to play now.

Even if there were any rare resources, they would have surely been fought over by these two people.

"Well... Actually, the people from the City Lord's Mansion have invited me to cook that day, so I will definitely go." Lu Ran said.

Bai Ling and the others were confused: ???

Wait, are we playing a secret realm breakthrough?! Why do I feel like you are playing a cracked version?
