Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 1255 - 505: Wizard and Chef_3

This question visibly paused the King of Absurdity’s actions.

His tentacle, which was tasting the saltiness of the soup, stiffened in mid-air.

"I thought so, you can tell from the response pattern of that book..."

The King of Illusions continued his analysis, with evident helplessness in his tone:

"Ordinary knowledge carriers can’t exhibit such strong ’personality’ traits.

Especially those prank responses, they clearly match your style!"

"Let’s not even mention that little lamb, being able to make such precise philosophical guidance, it definitely can’t be a simple alchemical creation."

The King of Illusions stood up and walked towards the King of Absurdity, who was ’focused’ on cooking:

"So, the guidance from start to finish was actually you doing it personally, right?"

After being exposed, the King of Absurdity cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly:

"Ahem...this...that..."

"Hector."

The King of Illusions’ tone grew serious:

"Who was it who told me ’not to interfere too much with Ron’s growth, let him develop naturally’? And now you’re the one actively going to guide and inspire him?"

"This doesn’t match your usual principle of ’breaking the rules is the ultimate rule’."

Facing the doubts of his elder, the King of Absurdity could only spread his tentacles, making an innocent expression:

"I... I couldn’t help myself!"

His voice became somewhat aggrieved:

"You saw it too, that kid’s display of wisdom was truly exceptional!

It’s like seeing a perfect piece of uncut jade, could you resist the urge to carve it a bit?"

"Especially after the disappointment with Cassandra..."

His voice became more somber:

"It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered a successor who truly understands the essence of absurd philosophy.

Ron might be my only chance to prove that my ideas can be carried out by someone other than myself."

"And I haven’t directly revealed any important secrets to him! Just... nudged his thinking a bit..."

At this point, the King of Absurdity’s tone became more confident:

"Besides, this is called ’teaching according to talent’! Facing such a rare genius, appropriate guidance is a necessary educational investment!"

The King of Illusions was amused by this sophistry:

"Alright, alright, considering you’re cooking today, I won’t argue with you."

She gracefully sat back in her original seat, tidying her starry sky gown:

"Anyway, I came today just to enjoy a meal, not to discuss educational philosophies with you."

"After all..." She had a clear look of anticipation in her eyes:

"The great Saint Hector is both the best cook among wizards and the best wizard among cooks.

Missing out on your culinary skills would truly be an epochal regret."

Upon hearing this praise, the King of Absurdity immediately perked up:

"Haha! I like that compliment!"

He proudly waved his tentacles, the slogan on his apron now reading "Master Chef of Reality":

"In that case, let me show you what ’conceptual-level deliciousness’ is!"

The Treasury staff erupted in cheers at the signal for dinner.

The penguin gentleman elegantly removed his hat, three-headed rabbits jumped with excitement, and the carrot display stand shook its leaves wildly.

But amidst this joyous atmosphere, there was a deeper understanding between the two great ones.

While serving the soup, the King of Absurdity quietly spoke:

"Pandora, sometimes I wonder... we so-called ’great ones’.

If we completely lose these vividly colored little hobbies, are we still ’us’?"

The King of Illusions accepted the bowl of Element Soup that emitted four colors of glow, habitually blew a light breeze, and answered softly:

"That’s why even after reaching our level, we need to maintain certain ’anchors’."

"Whether it’s your culinary art or my illusion orchestra, aren’t these the ways we remember ’who we are’?"

"After all, a completely rational existence, how does it differ from a machine?"

Their gazes met in the air, each saw understanding in the other’s eyes.

In this universe that pursues absolute power, maintaining humanity might be the hardest and most precious choice.

At that moment, the King of Absurdity suddenly stopped his actions.

"What’s wrong?" The King of Illusions keenly sensed the anomaly.

"Nothing, just saw something interesting..."

The King of Absurdity laughed heartily:

"Looks like our little friend really can’t sit still for a moment..."

......

In the detection room of the Abyssal Observation Station, soft blue light projected from the precision detection instruments.

Professor Uther stood in front of the data display screen, carefully scrutinizing Ron’s various physiological indicators with his silver eyes.

Though the Void Remains was slowly decaying, his observational skills remained as keen as ever.

"Spiritual power fluctuating violently, slight cracks exist at the edge of consciousness, signs of overload in the magic circuit..."

The old professor read the data as he shook his head:

"Ron, what did you get involved in last night? This pattern of spiritual consumption looks like intensive knowledge absorption."

Ron scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly:

"Just... studied some rather profound tomes. Maybe I indeed overdid it."

He couldn’t directly mention the "Extraordinary Comprehensive Guide," so he vaguely explained.

"Tomes?" Uther’s brows furrowed deeper:

"To cause such a degree of spiritual exhaustion, what level of knowledge did you access?"

"Some... theories about bloodline coordination and magic compression control."

Ron tried to choose relatively safe topics:

"Maybe it’s quite difficult to understand, so it consumed quite a lot."

Uther gazed at him, a look of realization in his silver eyes.

"Forget it, no matter what you accessed, the most important thing now is recovery."

The old professor turned off the detection equipment:

"Considering your current spiritual state, continuing with intensive training will only backfire."

"Take a day off today, rest well. Tomorrow we’ll continue with power control practice."

Upon hearing about the day off, Ron’s eyes lit up with excitement:

"Thank you, Professor, for your understanding. Then I’ll go rest."

"Remember, rest doesn’t mean continuing to study other content."

Uther’s voice was advisory:

"Do something relaxing, let your mind completely unwind.

Like walking, chatting, or... engaging in some simple handicraft activities."

Ron nodded repeatedly, though he was already beginning to plan other things in his mind.
