Cooking Skill and Physical Constitution Improvements!

"Should I tell my parents?"

Lin Chen muttered to himself.

After thinking it over for a while, he decided to keep it hidden for now. He was still rather confused himself.

It would also be hard to explain what had happened between him and Xu Mengyao.

It would be better to tell his parents after he had gotten used to it himself.

"Qian Qian, what dishes do you like?"

Lin Chen returned to the living room, picked up Lin Xiaoqian, and asked.

Lin Xiaoqian was tiny and soft, adorably squishy in his arms. Lin Chen unconsciously smiled.

"Daddy, I like meat."

"And eggs."

"I don't like green vegetables. Green vegetables don't taste good."

Lin Xiaoqian said cutely.

Lin Chen smiled. "Xiaoqian, you need to eat meat, but you have to eat vegetables too. If you only eat meat, your tummy will hurt. At home, do you eat the cooked food the auntie makes?"

"Yes."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded.

She leaned her Little Head close to Lin Chen's ear. "Daddy, I'll tell you a secret. Mommy's cooking isn't tasty, but when Mommy cooks, I eat more."

Lin Chen asked in confusion, "Why?"

Lin Xiaoqian giggled. "That way, Mommy will stay home more often, and I'll get to see Mommy more."

Lin Chen froze.

Those words had actually come from such a little child as Lin Xiaoqian.

She was so sensible that it was heartbreaking.

"Xiaoqian, Mommy is very busy. But Daddy isn't busy. Daddy will have lots and lots of time to spend with you."

Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoqian and spoke gently.

"Some children say I don't have a daddy. They're all wrong. I have a daddy, and my daddy is the best daddy."

Lin Xiaoqian smiled until her eyes curved into crescents.

Lin Chen asked, "Xiaoqian, where are your maternal grandpa and grandma?"

Xu Mengyao was busy with work and did not have much time, but did her parents not have time either? How could no one be looking after Lin Xiaoqian?

It seemed that whenever Xu Mengyao was away, the nanny looked after her.

Lin Xiaoqian said glumly, "Grandma is sick. Grandpa is abroad with Grandma while she gets treatment. I miss Grandpa and Grandma."

Lin Chen hurriedly said, "Xiaoqian, your grandpa and grandma must miss you too. They'll come back to see you when they have time."

"Mhm."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded.

"Daddy, why didn't you come find Mommy and me?"

Lin Chen sighed inwardly.

What happened between him and Xu Mengyao that night had just been an accident. That accident had had quite the aftermath—after sleeping with such a stunning campus belle as Xu Mengyao, his standards had risen.

As a result, he was still single to this day.

"What happened between Daddy and Mommy is a little complicated. You're still too young to understand. Play by yourself for a while, Daddy will go make you something to eat."

"Eat properly, and you'll understand when you grow up."

Lin Chen rubbed Lin Xiaoqian's head.

Lin Xiaoqian nodded.

Lin Chen went into the kitchen and got busy.

Normally, when he cooked for himself, one dish was enough. But with Lin Xiaoqian here, every meal needed at least three dishes.

He liked spicy food, so one dish had to include chili peppers. The other two had to be without chili, suitable for Lin Xiaoqian.

Five Minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

The system's voice rang out in Lin Chen's mind. "Host, your Cooking Skill has begun improving. For every hour you spend working in the kitchen, you will gain one year of Chef Experience."

Lin Chen was overjoyed.

Every hour spent in the kitchen would give him a year of experience. Wouldn't that mean he could become a chef in ten days or half a month?

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner would probably take two hours a day. After one month, even a Five-Star Chef would be nothing compared to him.

After three months, he would be a Cooking God!

Time passed second by second.

All kinds of experience continuously surfaced in Lin Chen's mind. As he worked, this Chef Experience gradually fused with his own skills.

"Did I really make this?"

After preparing three dishes, Lin Chen could hardly believe it.

He had technically been cooking for himself for two or three years, but he usually just threw things together to get by, so it did not count as two or three years of experience. The experience he had gained from this single meal exceeded everything from before.

"Daddy, it smells so good."

"Daddy, are you tired?"

Lin Xiaoqian walked over and asked cutely.

Lin Chen smiled. "Daddy isn't tired. Daddy will take you to wash your hands. We have to wash our hands before eating, right?"

"Mhm."

After washing their hands, Lin Chen carried Lin Xiaoqian back.

He noticed a problem.

Without a Dining Chair, Lin Xiaoqian could not reach the Cooked Food at all.

Looks like I need to move somewhere else as soon as possible.

Lin Chen thought to himself.

This place was too small. The living room was only a dozen square meters, and there was no dining room at all. The Dining Table was simply placed in the living room.

There was barely any space. Even if he bought a Dining Chair, it would be hard to find room for it.

"Xiaoqian, sit beside Daddy. Daddy will feed you."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

He fed Lin Xiaoqian a small spoonful.

After tasting it, Lin Xiaoqian said happily, "Daddy, your food is much tastier than Mommy's. This is our little secret, so don't tell Mommy, okay?"

"Alright, it's our little secret."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

After the meal, Lin Chen found that Lin Xiaoqian really did not like vegetables. She barely ate any of the stir-fried greens he had made.

Lin Chen did not force her.

Once his Cooking Skill improved, he refused to believe she still would not eat them.

"Daddy, I'm a little sleepy."

"I want to sleep."

"If I fall asleep, Daddy, you won't leave, will you?"

Lin Xiaoqian looked at Lin Chen worriedly.

She had finally gotten her daddy back. She did not want to lose him.

"Of course not."

"Daddy will definitely stay home with you."

Lin Chen carried Lin Xiaoqian to his bed. He had changed the sheets just yesterday, so there was no need to change them again now.

"Daddy, kiss."

Lin Xiaoqian kissed Lin Chen before closing her eyes for her afternoon nap.

Lin Chen gazed at Lin Xiaoqian fondly.

His Precious Daughter was adorable no matter how he looked at her.

"System, does washing dishes increase Chef Experience?"

Lin Chen went to the kitchen and began clearing the dishes and chopsticks.

"It counts."

Lin Chen smiled. This would make his experience rise even faster.

"System, thumbs up!"

After washing the dishes, Lin Chen could clearly feel his Cooking Skill improve again.

"I should clean up."

"It doesn't matter if I live casually by myself, but Xiaoqian is so little. If the house is dirty, she could easily get sick."

Lin Chen quickly began cleaning.

One hour later.

"Host, you have worked for one hour. Your physical constitution has increased by one point. The physical constitution of a normal adult male is sixty points."

The system's voice rang out in Lin Chen's mind again.

"System, roughly how high is a Top Boxer's physical constitution?"

Lin Chen asked in his mind.

System: "Host, a Top Boxer's physical constitution is roughly three times that of an ordinary adult male. Doubling one's physical constitution can increase Combat Power by more than tenfold."

"System, how many points is my physical constitution?"

The system said, "Host, your initial physical constitution was exactly sixty points. It has now increased by one point to sixty-one points. Your daily upper limit for physical constitution growth is three points."

"You may increase your physical constitution through labor or exercise."

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

An increase of three points a day was not little.

In just one month, he could gain ninety points. Added to his original sixty points, his physical constitution could reach one hundred and fifty points.

A Top Boxer was three times stronger than an ordinary man, which was one hundred and eighty points.

If he reached the daily limit every day, in just over a month, his physical constitution could surpass that of the most elite boxer.
