He Actually Brought Barbecue into the Game

"Doodoolooloo~ Urumqi Wolf Meat Skewers! If they don't taste good, you don't pay!"

In the plaza, a round-faced chubby boy rolled his tongue as he shouted nonstop.

Quite a few players had gathered around him, seemingly waiting for his kebabs.

Ye Yu glanced at the chubby boy.

The chubby boy's information instantly appeared before his eyes.

[Character]: Dark Cuisine King

[Identity]: Lingxiao Immortal Palace Labor Disciple

[Cultivation]: Mortal

[Skill]: None

[Cultivation Method]: None

[Talent]: Seven-star Culinary Skill

Ye Yu was slightly surprised when he saw the information.

If he remembered correctly, players like Gu Du seemingly did not have a talent field in their information panels.

Yet this Dark Cuisine King had actually come with a culinary talent.

"System, why does this Dark Cuisine King have a talent?"

Ye Yu asked the system curiously.

"Replying to Host, the Immortal Path online game created by the system is one hundred percent realistic in the experience of Earth Players!"

"Therefore, unlike traditional online games, any action here may trigger unknown effects."

"The player with the ID Dark Cuisine King did not choose the monster-hunting and leveling route after entering the game. Instead, he began researching cooking, thereby triggering the culinary talent!"

After the system's explanation, Ye Yu understood.

So Dark Cuisine King was a Life Profession player!

Although the system had yet to unlock Life Professions.

That did not mean players had no way to tinker with such things.

The Immortal Path created by the system had far too much freedom. All he could say was that anything was possible!

"Ding! Player Dark Cuisine King has successfully made one hundred Wolf Meat Skewers. Proficiency requirement met. Sub-Profession comprehended!"

At that moment, an electronic voice rang out!

Ye Yu froze for a moment and subconsciously looked at Dark Cuisine King.

Sure enough, an additional Sub-Profession Slot had appeared on Dark Cuisine King's character information panel. It clearly displayed—Grill Master!

"Ding! Player Dark Cuisine King has successfully advanced to Grill Master. Host has automatically acquired the Grill Master profession!"

The electronic voice sounded again immediately afterward!

As the electronic voice fell silent, Ye Yu inexplicably felt memories of all kinds of barbecue techniques, recipes, and more appear in his mind!

"This works too?"

Ye Yu was stunned.

When a player triggered a Sub-Profession, he could actually obtain it as well?

Did that not mean that if these sand sculpture players triggered other Sub-Professions in the future, he could possess them all too?

As though sensing Ye Yu's doubts, the system spoke again.

"Host need not be surprised. Inside Immortal Path, you are the supreme and only god!"

"Every reward triggered by your Subjects will synchronize to you. This is not limited to Sub-Professions!"

After hearing the system's explanation, Ye Yu was both shocked and delighted.

This system really was awesome!

It was equivalent to every player indirectly cultivating on his behalf!

There were few players now, so perhaps the advantage was not yet obvious.

But one day, when the players entering his Divine Domain numbered in the millions...

How terrifying would it be when he harvested the players' wool? Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle!

"Here, take it. This is your Wolf Meat Skewer!"

"That'll be 1 Contribution point. Thanks, boss!"

Dark Cuisine King was busy to the point of delight, his round, chubby face beaming with smiles.

He had struck it rich this time.

Not only had he earned Contribution points, he had also triggered the Grill Master Sub-Profession.

Dark Cuisine King was incomparably excited!

After entering the game, he had not followed the crowd and formed teams to grind Spotted wolves!

Instead, he had come up with the unconventional idea of buying Spotted wolf meat on credit.

Now that he did the math, after deducting his initial costs, he had nearly made a net profit of fifty Contribution points by selling almost one hundred Wolf Meat Skewers.

Dark Cuisine King was very satisfied with this.

"Handsome guy, would you like a Wolf Meat Skewer... Huh? An NPC?"

"No way, even an NPC is browsing my stall?"

Dark Cuisine King, who had been calling out to customers, was dumbfounded when he saw Ye Yu suddenly appear in front of his stall.

But his mind reacted quickly.

I'm such an idiot. Why am I thinking so much?

Even an NPC has been drawn in by my Wolf Meat Skewers. If I give him a few, maybe I can earn his favor!

Then, with an NPC backing me up, let's see who still dares to mess with me... Hehehe!

Countless thoughts flashed through Dark Cuisine King's mind in an instant.

The next moment, he grabbed a large handful of Wolf Meat Skewers with a fawning smile and handed them to Ye Yu.

"Brother Yu—no, Palace Lord, give them a try."

Ye Yu looked speechlessly at the Wolf Meat Skewers being offered to him.

He had merely wanted to take a look at the Grill Rack this guy had made, but who would have thought that he would start sucking up to him? There was really no one else like him!

"Thanks."

Ye Yu did not refuse Dark Cuisine King's kindness and reached out to take the Wolf Meat Skewers.

Upon hearing Ye Yu's words, Dark Cuisine King's chubby face broke into a radiant smile.

Especially when the notification informed him that Ye Yu, this NPC, had increased his favorability toward him by 1 point, he grinned so widely that he could not close his mouth.

I really am a genius!

This game really lets you grind NPC favorability!

Dark Cuisine King thought delightedly.

Meanwhile, Ye Yu's gaze fell upon the Wolf Meat Skewers.

The next moment, a line of text appeared before his eyes.

[Wolf Meat Skewers]: Dark Cuisine King's expertly prepared barbecue, grilled from Spotted wolf leg meat. After consumption, Strength +5, Fullness +20, duration: 1 hour.

"Huh? It actually has a buff effect?"

Ye Yu let out a soft exclamation inwardly.

He had thought these Wolf Meat Skewers were merely edible.

Now it seemed they were far more than that.

Ye Yu gently bit into a skewer. A rich meaty aroma instantly filled his mouth and stimulated his taste buds.

"It even tastes like cumin?"

"This Dark Cuisine King really is talented!"

Ye Yu shook his head, feeling admiration for Dark Cuisine King.

Right now, there was almost nothing inside Immortal Path!

Yet Dark Cuisine King had somehow managed to grill barbecue with the flavor of cumin. He really was impressive.

However, after finishing a skewer, Ye Yu did not feel any changes in himself!

He was not surprised by this.

Within his own Divine Domain, he was the supreme existence.

The tiny attribute boost players received from eating kebabs did not even amount to a fraction of his power, so it was naturally difficult for him to sense any change from the buff.

"I wonder whether this thing can be taken out of the Divine Domain."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Yu tossed the remaining Wolf Meat Skewers in his hand into the System Warehouse.

Immediately afterward, he spent 100 Divine Power to exchange for slots for another 100 players from the system.

That way, once all those players entered the Divine Domain, his number of Subjects would reach 120.

For now, the number of players was nearly at its limit.

If there were any more, the Divine Domain's resources would not be enough to distribute among them.

That would instead slow the players' leveling speed and, indirectly, Ye Yu's growth as well.

"Damn, back to square one. My Divine Power is empty again."

Looking at the mere 14 points of Divine Power remaining, Ye Yu smiled bitterly.

After shaking his head, he exited the Divine Domain.

Now that the players were gradually getting on track, and with his Divine Sense avatar present, there was no need for him to keep watching the Divine Domain at all times.

On the contrary, he still did not know enough about matters such as battles between gods.

He decided to visit the Library of the Divine Temple and see whether there was any information on the subject.
