Who am I? Where am I? What is this thing in front of me?
I must be opening it wrong, this can't be my crushed sesame sauce lobster!
With a "snap," Wu slammed the lid back onto the plate.
Shaking his head vigorously and slapping his cheeks hard, Wu muttered to himself, "It must be because I was too happy about advancing in realm that I'm hallucinating. Wu, you need to wake up! This is the finest food from the Mountain Peak Cottage!"
With a long sigh, Wu finally composed himself. He reached out and touched the plate lid again, but his hand, which had remained unmoved even in the face of a collapsing mountain, was now trembling slightly.
He touched the plate lid several times, then withdrew his hand as if electrocuted. Finally, he gritted his teeth and lifted the plate lid off completely in one go.
In a rectangular white porcelain plate, there lay a greenish-brown lump, cracked all over, sprinkled with minced garlic and ginger, and yellow sesame sauce forming a small pool at the bottom of the plate.
Mr. Wu lost his balance and fell onto the stool, his once bright eyes now completely empty.
No wonder, no wonder!
When I ordered the "Crushed Sesame Sauce Little Green Dragon" dish, Ye Zhizun advised me to change it. I even thought I had found the secret to wealth and had hit Ye Zhizun's sore spot. I never expected that Ye Zhizun would do everything for my sake.
I'm not some kind of immortal being. I ate something before I went up the mountain. Admittedly, I've never even seen most of the food at the mountaintop cottage, let alone eaten it. But I do recognize these three big, green cucumbers on the plate!
Mr. Wu was on the verge of tears, wondering why he had to get to know cucumbers.
If I didn't know it, I would have eaten it with great anticipation, like a pilgrimage. But how could I willingly open my mouth now?
Throwing away tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones just to eat a plate of cucumber salad, this Supreme Ye is truly a naming genius!
Ye Feng was wronged by the name. He originally wanted to call it "Cucumber Salad," but a disciple named "Jieji" said that such a plain name was too low-class and would lower the overall quality of the menu, so he came up with this arrogant and flashy name instead.
Ye Feng thought the name was quite amusing, so he added it to the menu. However, if a customer ordered it, he would ask a few more questions, and if the customer insisted, there was nothing he could do. And although the ingredients seemed simple, they were actually prepared in a very unpretentious way.
The cucumber has reached a 4-star rating after three upgrades, the ginger has unified Jiangshan for three generations, the garlic has been unlucky for three generations, and the sauce has a 3-star sesame and a 3-star peanut ratio.
Despite its simple appearance, thanks to Ye Feng's precise patting of every spot on the cucumber, it not only perfectly retains its refreshing and crisp texture but also absorbs the flavors of various sauces perfectly.
So even though the ingredients are simple, this is still a 5.5-star dish.
As for Wu, who was the first to stubbornly order this dish, Ye Feng thought it could actually be said that he turned misfortune into blessing.
Because the dish served to him was a "blessing from heaven and earth"!
When he lifted the lid of the plate, the light he saw was not his imagination; it was a genuine blessing from heaven and earth.
However, compared to the previous blessing, this one seemed somewhat hasty, and the effect only improved by half a star to reach 6 stars.
A dish that can achieve a 6-star rating will naturally be very effective.
Not only can it enhance Wu's long-cherished comprehension, but it can also increase his physical defense and qi defense by 25%. Most importantly, it can also improve his physical constitution. This is an extraordinary opportunity for Wu.
However, Mr. Wu was unaware of these things; all he knew was that he seemed to have messed up his dish.
Mr. Wu slumped into his chair, sighing, showing absolutely no interest in the 'Crushed Sesame Paste Little Green Dragon' on the table.
Based on his own senses, Ye Zhizun believed that the more fragrant something smelled and the better it tasted, the better its properties were. Even cucumbers in the mortal realm had a refreshing aroma, but this thing didn't have even the slightest smell!
After sighing over the cucumber for what felt like the umpteenth time, Mr. Wu decided to give it a try.
After all, we spent money to buy it, so we can't just waste it like this.
But if it really doesn't work at all, should I jump up and kick the table over, cursing the unscrupulous shop for falsely claiming its attributes, or should I consider myself to have gotten a great deal and slink away as soon as possible?
The first approach is undoubtedly very satisfying.
That's a restaurant owned by a supreme being of a realm. Who would dare to act recklessly in front of him? I, Wu, dare!
But the consequence might be that one's life ends here.
Although the second approach is frustrating and disadvantageous, if you feel frustrated in front of a supreme being, no one can say anything.
How many people in this world would dare to act recklessly in front of him?
The main advantage of doing this is that you've already advanced in rank. Even though your comprehension hasn't improved, it's still a significant benefit, so you can consider it wise to stop while you're ahead.
In the end, with a sigh, Mr. Wu accepted reality.
He may have had his fun, but the price he'll pay is something he can't afford. His own death is one thing, but his sect will likely face the same fate; Ye Zhizun has never been a kind soul.
I poked the cucumber with my chopsticks in revenge, but it felt watery and had no tactile sensation whatsoever.
He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, but the disgusting taste almost made him vomit.
But with his ruthlessness towards himself, he still swallowed it down.
Since you've already chosen to suffer in silence, then you might as well suffer to the very end.
If you dare to spit out the food Ye Zhizun made, or not finish it, this is like slapping your face hard. Who knows if the people of the Shushan Sword Sect will disappear from the face of the earth because of this?
Forced to suppress the urge to vomit, Wu finished the last bite. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he felt as if ants were crawling all over his body. Startled, he quickly sat up straight and examined his body internally.
The changes within his body at that moment left him completely dumbfounded, even plunging him into a state of dementia, his mind a complete blank.
"His comprehension... has improved, and his innate talent has even improved..."
"He actually advanced two whole levels... I'm starting to suspect there's something wrong with Supreme Ye's food?!"
As the dementia gradually subsided, Wu's thinking began to become more active.
Then a mix of excitement, agitation, and regret quickly filled my chest.
It's totally worth it! It's so damn worth it!
