Fu Yuan shook his head as Scáthach recommended a spear to him. "I don't like spears, and I think fists are enough."
With a speed that could break the sound barrier, weapons would only get in the way. It was better to keep his fists free.
Besides...
Fist to flesh.
A punch through the heavens.
That's the romance of a man!
Currently, the character templates Fu Yuan possessed were...
Valkyrie: Vermilion Knight.
Valkyrie: Vermilion Knight [Amplifier Core].
Shadow Knight: Moon Halo.
The character templates not yet unlocked were 'Azure Empyrean', 'Crimson Petal', and 'White Night Butler'.
Although Fu Yuan knew these three character templates were also very powerful, the ones he currently had were more than enough.
Valkyrie: Vermilion Knight and its Amplifier Core granted Fu Yuan Great Void Sword Qi and Inch-Heart Fist Style.
Shadow Knight: Moon Halo granted Fu Yuan flight and terrifying lightning abilities.
Therefore, Fu Yuan planned to save up crystals to redeem the gauntlet he needed, 'Nuada's Broken Light'.
Nuada's Broken Light was a gauntlet that could greatly enhance lightning power, increasing it by a full forty percent.
And the ultimate weapon, Nuada's Luminous Light, would also be great... Fu Yuan wanted that too!
The reason Fu Yuan had been saving crystals before was to purchase either the 'Shadow Knight: Moon Halo' or 'Crimson Petal' character templates. However, Daily Quests had directly given him the 'Shadow Knight: Moon Halo' character template.
Now that he had tested the power of the Shadow Knight: Moon Halo character template, Fu Yuan felt that what he needed next was a suitable weapon, not a powerful character template.
With the rough testing of Shadow Knight: Moon Halo concluded, Fu Yuan glanced somewhat troubled at the courtyard ground he had shattered. "If I had known testing Shadow Knight: Moon Halo would cause such a commotion, I should have tested it at Mount Ensō."
Now look at this... Fu Yuan had ruined the meticulously maintained courtyard himself. Fortunately, it hadn't affected the mansion, otherwise, Fu Yuan and Scáthach wouldn't know where to stay tonight.
Chapter 38: Fu Yuan's Dinner [5]
After testing Shadow Knight: Moon Halo, the sky gradually darkened. Fu Yuan put aside his frustration with the courtyard and said to Scáthach, who was sitting on the courtyard platform, "Scáthach, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Hm?" Scáthach frowned slightly, seemingly not understanding the meaning of Fu Yuan's words.
Seeing the Queen dressed in a JK uniform, Fu Yuan explained, "I mean, what do you want to eat tonight? It's getting late, and I'm about to cook."
"This is your first dinner at my place, so I want to make something you like."
"There's no need for such trouble," Scáthach said, shaking her head after understanding Fu Yuan's meaning. "You don't need to prepare food for me. As someone who has stepped into the realm of demigods, I can live even without eating."
"Actually, I don't need to eat to sustain myself either, but..." Fu Yuan smiled at Scáthach. "Tasting delicious food is one of life's great pleasures. So, what we care about isn't eating, but savoring good food."
Fu Yuan actually didn't need to eat. He had discovered this when he was practicing Great Void Sword Qi in the early morning.
Every time he finished practicing in the morning, the True Qi circulating within his body would keep him in a state of fullness, so he didn't need to eat at all.
However, just because Fu Yuan didn't need to eat didn't mean he wouldn't. After all, one of his life's pleasures was cooking.
"Besides, Scáthach is a guest in my home. As the host, how can I eat dinner alone and leave my guest with nothing?"
"Then, alright. I'll trouble you," Scáthach nodded slightly. Since Fu Yuan insisted, she wouldn't refuse him anymore.
Then, Fu Yuan gave Scáthach a confident smile. "I'm not bragging, but I'm quite confident in my cooking. So, what do you want to eat?"
"I don't have any particular favorite foods. Fu Yuan, just make what you're good at," Scáthach said casually, not particularly interested in food.
"Okay, I understand. Please wait here for a moment. I'll call you when the food is ready." Fu Yuan left her with these words and then walked towards the kitchen.
"I remember there's still some A5 beef left in the System Backpack. I'll make steak tonight then."
Fu Yuan muttered to himself as he walked down the corridor. "Speaking of which, I wonder if Scáthach's cheeks will turn red after eating the steak I cooked, just like Aige."
Aige...
Hm? Aige...
Huh! Aige?!
Did Fu Yuan just utter the name of a significant person while walking just now!
"Speaking of Aige, I wonder how she's doing now. Never mind, perhaps I won't meet her until I leave this world."
Fu Yuan, stepping into the kitchen, uttered a sentence that sounded like a flag.
The 'Aige' mentioned by Fu Yuan earlier was 'Sajyou Manaka'. She was... in short, an incredible girl!
With the help of the Honkai System, Fu Yuan had transmigrated to this world over a year and several months ago. Due to the Daily Quests, he had traveled around and met quite a few people.
And that girl, Sajyou Manaka, was one of the people Fu Yuan knew.
Fu Yuan entered the kitchen and took out the remaining beef stored in his backpack. It was a piece of beef covered in snowflake-like marbling.
The snowflake-like marbling on the beef wasn't actually snowflakes; it was the fat within the meat.
The fat in some high-quality beef is evenly distributed, looking like beautiful, dancing snowflakes, hence the name 'Snowflake Beef'. The more evenly distributed the fat (snowflakes), the better the quality of the beef.
A piece of beef with a complex and dense snowflake pattern, its texture and quality were bound to be excellent.
This was because the snowflake pattern represented a mixed distribution of the beef's intramuscular fat and muscle fibers.
Ingredients stored in Fu Yuan's System Backpack were essentially in a state of suspended time. Therefore, the A5 beef he took out from the backpack was in an extremely fresh state.
Fu Yuan took a breath of the sweet, fresh aroma emanating from the beef, then placed it on the kitchen counter. He picked up the cleaver lying beside it.
After thoroughly cleaning the cleaver, Fu Yuan gave it a gentle swing. The sharp blade, glinting with a hint of cold light, flashed across the beef resting on the counter.
A slice of beef as thin as gossamer was cut out by Fu Yuan. He put down the cleaver and picked up the gossamer-thin slice of meat with his hand, then put it directly into his mouth.
Beef could be eaten raw, but only if it was fresh and its origin was clear.
And most importantly, there was no fear of contracting parasites from eating raw beef...
The gossamer-thin slice of meat was held in Fu Yuan's mouth. The exquisite, fresh taste of the A5 beef immediately spread throughout his mouth, a wonderful sensation akin to holding ice cream.
