Zhang Wei suddenly understood!
So that's how it is!
The so-called aptitude refers to the food devils materialized by the food cells and stored in the body.
Compared to those devils inherited for hundreds of millions, even billions of years, the national chefs have only been around for a little over half a year.
If it's about poor aptitude, there should be no one in this world worse than Zhang Wei.
The best in the world!
"So, poor aptitude is a good thing?"
Uchiha Xing shook his head, "Of course it's a bad thing. If your aptitude were good enough, you would have already advanced to level 70, 80, or even 90 with the ingredients you've eaten, and killing the level 55 you would be as easy as lifting a finger."
Zhang Wei: ...
Soon, the hamburgers made by Sponge and the others were ready.
Zhang Wei's fried chicken was also almost done.
The hamburger was, of course, the famous Krabby Patty, although it had nothing to do with crab meat inside.
Sponge's cooking technique was quite simple, without any fancy skills, but the taste was excellent, and it gave a sense of simple enjoyment.
Zhang Wei did not spare his praise, and Sponge scratched his head, "Actually, in cooking, as long as you infuse it with plenty of love, it will become infinitely delicious. This is the true secret of the Krabby Patty."
"And it is precisely because of this that Mr. Octavius has not been able to complete the final version of the Krabby Patty."
Plenty of love?
This statement was truly passionate and innocent...
It had the flavor of a protagonist.
"Infusing love into food..."
Zhang Wei fell silent for a moment, then said firmly, "I have always had dedication and passion for cooking, for ingredients, and for dishes! If passion counts as a type of love, my cooking has never lacked it."
"I can taste it!"
Zhang Wei turned around, and Sponge, one Krabby Patty after another, finished ten plates in a blink of an eye!
Twenty chicken wings, thirty chicken legs, sixty chicken nuggets...
This guy ate like a wolf, not even wanting to spit out the bones!
"Damn it!"
One must know that the White Feather Wuji chicken was not small, with a single chicken leg weighing at least 700 grams!
Three times larger than ordinary fast-food restaurant portions!
Zhang Wei was not to be outdone and immediately demonstrated an extremely advanced eating method!
The Illusion Transformation Technique! Activate!
His jaw dislocated, and his mouth stretched wider and wider, like a monstrous beast about to devour someone!
*Swish swish swish!*
Five plates were directly stuffed into his mouth, and with a single sweep, piles of bones were spat out.
Not even the meat strands at the joints were left, eating extremely cleanly!
Sponge collapsed to his knees, "How... how... how did you do that! Please, you must teach me!"
"Being able to eat so much in one go, just thinking about it is so satisfying."
Patrick, who was beside them, covered his face and said, "Patrick, you're too embarrassing!"
"No, I must learn this move!"
Zhang Wei smiled mysteriously, "Alright, let's learn from each other! I want to learn your Rasengan and Chidori Stream!"
"This..."
Seeing Sponge's eagerness, Zhang Wei turned to Patrick and said, "This technique is just one of them. I have many other good things to exchange with you!"
With a casual wave of his hand, several high-grade ingredients appeared.
"This is salt essence, rarely seen in the Land of Clouds. It costs over 4500 in the human world."
"I mean 4500 Berries per gram. In the Land of Clouds, it would cost at least twenty thousand! Here are four kilograms, and I think you'll find them useful in the future."
Uchiha Xing looked at the snow-white salt essence, extended a finger, took a tiny bit, and put it in his mouth.
"!!!"
"This... Sponge, you try it too!"
The same look of shock appeared on Sponge.
Even for them, this was the first time they had tasted such a precious thing as salt essence.
"I've seen descriptions of salt essence before and knew it was a rare and good thing, but I never expected... it would taste like this!"
"If I could put some in the hamburger, whether it's for pickling cucumbers or sprinkling on the steak, the taste would be elevated by a notch!"
Zhang Wei continued, "Actually, you could also try using cured meat for the hamburger."
As he spoke, Zhang Wei produced a Tyrannosaurus Rex ham with a capture level of 55!
He casually sliced off a small piece and handed it to each of them.
Tyrannosaurus Rex must grow on salt essence veins, and the internal salt is more refined, making it excellent for replenishing energy.
The fat energy in the ham was explosive. If one used a ham to cook, just a few kilograms would be enough to fill the two of them.
"This item is priceless in the human world. If it appeared at an auction, the starting bid would be estimated at over 150 million!"
Sponge and Patrick exchanged glances, and said with a wry smile, "You've offered me terms I can't refuse. I even feel like I'm getting a great deal."
"It's fine, we each get what we need."
Zhang Wei didn't overly cherish the ingredients he had already collected.
After all, with the Treasure Vault in hand, and a seed, ingredients were inexhaustible.
But for Patrick and Sponge, these two items were already priceless treasures!
"I... I agree. I can teach you the Rasengan."
"Chidori Stream, heh, as long as you can learn it, I don't care."
The trade was concluded!
After eating and drinking their fill, Zhang Wei and the others looked up at the starry sky, enjoying the gentle evening breeze.
"I feel like I've forgotten something..."
"Wait a minute!"
"Where's my 626?"
...
Above the clouds.
Yun Shang Zhenjun said to Xie Min, the beast-eared girl, "From today onwards, you will be transferred from the personnel of the Mortal Ascension Immortal Palace. I will find the most outstanding tutors in the Land of Clouds to provide you with a series of training."
At this moment, Xie Min hugged 626 tightly and nodded.
Given the status of these two in the Land of Clouds, Xie Min had no choice but to obey their arrangements.
"Um... I have a question."
"Speak."
"There are so many people in the Mortal Ascension Immortal Palace, why did you choose me alone? And, what exactly is this training..."
"You ask too many questions."
Yun Shang Zhenjun said proudly, "You just need to know that in the near future, the entire Land of Clouds will be shocked by your talent!"
For Xie Min, this part was somewhat incomprehensible.
"Um..."
"You're hesitating. Spit it out if you have anything on your mind. You won't have to fear anything in the future!"
"What's the allowance during training?"
Yun Shang Zhenjun: ...
Xie Min said anxiously, "Girls have a lot of expenses. I've also adopted a pet, and I usually have a habit of snacking... If the allowance is too little, I'll get distracted."
Yun Shang Zhenjun closed his eyes in despair, then looked up at the sky.
"Um... a little less is also acceptable."
"Shut up!"
Xie Min flinched and cautiously moved back a bit.
She muttered softly under her breath, "If you don't give it, you don't give it. Why are you so fierce... Miser, drinking cold water!"
"Guba~ Guba~"
The bugle horn sounded!
Yun Shang Zhenjun flew into the sky.
"What's happening? Why is the golden horn being blown?"
"Reporting to Zhenjun, an urgent telegram has arrived from the front line. The concentration camp has been attacked, and the defenders are in peril!"
"What? Didn't the concentration camp already relocate? Don't tell me those northerners can find their hiding place amidst ten thousand leagues of clouds!"
The messenger reported truthfully, "Zhenjun, it seems so!"
