Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1555 - 747: Skill Effect "Food Insight," A Bit Sinister
Previously on Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups...
Looking at the flickering light blue screen in his view, Fang Cheng’s lips curled slightly.
The time spent practicing flipping and cooking at home has finally paid off, and he has finally stepped into the threshold of the Master Level.
He scrolled down following the prompt information, and the last line of flickering characters made his gaze pause for a moment.
[Obtained Enhancement Reward, Spirit Attribute +1 point, Skill Effect "Food Insight"]
Food Insight?
Fang Cheng raised an eyebrow.
This name sounds a bit strange, it doesn’t seem like a combat ability.
"Brother Cheng."
A soft voice interrupted Fang Cheng’s thoughts.
He cut off the panel’s display, turned his head, and looked at Lin Chuqiao standing beside him.
Lin Chuqiao wiped her hands with a wet towel and softly asked:
"Wen Xin and Bean are still in the small meeting room on the third floor having class, should I go down and call them up to eat together?"
"I’ll go."
Fang Cheng remembered Wen Xin coming over with Zhou Xiumei in the morning, so he straightened up, ready to go downstairs.
"There’s no reason for a chef to run errands."
Lin Chuqiao stepped in first, pressed Fang Cheng back onto the leather sofa with her hand on his shoulder, eyes sparkling:
"This kind of errand work, leave it to me, your personal maid, while you, the lord, sit comfortably and rest for a bit."
After saying that, she turned around, opened the office door, and walked towards the elevator with graceful steps in high heels.
Watching that tall, swaying figure, Fang Cheng shook his head with a smile.
Speaking of which, the reason Wen Xin ran over here to make up her classes was mainly because she had a chance encounter with Wang Yao in the company last time.
Wang Yao is the daughter of Wang Li, who was once kidnapped.
At that time, I saved her from the clutches of the Poison Snake Gang.
As the double minister of the Illuminati and the financial department of Morning Star Trading Company, Fang Cheng not only offered Wang Li a generous salary but also advanced a sum as his wife’s surgery fees.
Now the Wang family has finally been relieved of a heavy burden, having a chance to breathe.
Yet, due to Wang Li’s wife being ill for years and incurring much debt, their daily lives remain financially strained.
Wang Yao is a sensible child, taking advantage of her summer vacation she actively applied for a clerical position at the company to help relieve her family’s burdens.
This girl has excellent grades in school, and her foreign language is fluent.
Fang Cheng felt it was a waste to have her doing miscellaneous tasks.
Coincidentally, Wen Xin was facing entrance exams next year and her original summer tuition plans were delayed due to many recent trivial matters.
A few days ago, Zhou Xiumei brought Wen Xin to the company to hang out, and Fang Cheng simply decided to hire Wang Yao as Wen Xin’s tutor.
As for Bean, the child who has always stayed at Hidden Cloud Cottage.
Jiang Yun found her lonely and wanted to bring her to the company for errands, to have work and a busier life.
But Fang Cheng couldn’t employ a thirteen-year-old child laborer.
Since Wang Yao set up a tutoring class with only one student, Wen Xin, Fang Cheng decided to let Bean join too.
Bean, having wandered since young with little literacy, this was a good time to establish a foundation in primary school courses.
Once the dust settles, Fang Cheng intends to use connections to get her into formal schooling.
Over the last few days, Wen Xin and Bean seem to get along very well.
Two kids who’ve both been through hardships, close in age, with similar experiences.
Wen Xin’s lively personality gradually unlocked Bean’s closed heart, unloading much of her defenses.
"Brother Cheng, have a bowl of soup to soothe your throat first."
Zhou Xiumei carefully placed a bowl of tomato beef soup on the coffee table in front of Fang Cheng.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Fang Cheng nodded, gathering his thoughts, leaning back on the sofa, and called up the panel again.
At this moment, the True Sun Fire in his mind seemed slightly brighter, making him feel refreshed.
That was the direct feedback from his Spirit Attribute increasing to 89 points.
At his current level, even a single point attribute breakthrough is extremely difficult.
The attribute growth from the Culinary Skill upgrade is the benefit of having a system.
But the most important thing here is that he has worked hard enough.
Without continuous daily diligent practice, no skill will automatically advance or yield results.
Fang Cheng focused on the newly acquired Skill Effect.
[Food Insight]
[Active trigger type. When your view locks onto a target ingredient, the system will automatically parse its species classification, capture difficulty, main nutrient components, and life energy rating, and match the current cooking level to provide the optimal cooking method.]
After carefully reading through the long explanation, Fang Cheng sorted out this ability in his mind.
Simply put, after activating this skill, the moment he sees an ingredient, various real data of the ingredient will automatically appear in his mind.
Including species name, capture level assessment, main nutritional content, life energy concentration, and it can also suggest cooking methods.
That means he basically has an Identification Skill like in games, allowing an intuitive analysis of the actual value of ingredients before him.
Fang Cheng’s heart stirred slightly, and he silently thought:
"Food Insight, activate."
A hint of faint dark blue glow flashed in his view.
He set his gaze on the plate of freshly steamed sea bass in the middle of the table.
A neat row of data appeared instantly on his retina:
[Ingredient Type: Wild Sea Bass (Cooked)]
[Capture Level: Level 1 (Ordinary aquatic animal, but requires professional fishing tools)]
[Nutritional Value: Rich in high-quality protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids]
[Life Energy: Low]
