Feeling the sense of completion transmitted from Curse Adam after the last ghost in this world had been brought under control, Adam himself was not particularly happy.
Perhaps it was because, over the past few years, while the chefs' creative dishes had remained creative, they had also begun drifting further and further away from the very concept of food.
Or perhaps it was because he had finally tasted the long-forgotten feeling of frustration in his studies.

Later on, Adam had not even been interested in paying much attention to the patterns of ghosts that would not be up for study for who knew how long. After suppressing them, he simply and crudely tossed them into Ruyue Restaurant's warehouse first.
As a concept fundamentally opposed to order, the essence of vengeful ghosts was counterintuitive to learn, unlike their foolproof operation when used.
Experience told Adam that when learning knowledge within the same field, knowledge already mastered could often provide some help with subsequent learning.
Once that help reached a certain level, it could also take effect across fields: master one principle and understand ten thousand; understand ten thousand principles and illuminate one.
