Chapter 50: The Server-Wide God of Cooking Tournament!
That shout of “Holy crap!” was like a massive boulder tossed into a calm lake, instantly setting off towering waves throughout the entire player community.
“What’s going on, what’s going on? Why’s that guy screaming like that?”
“No idea, did he strike gold or something?”
“Quick, let’s go check it out!”
Countless players had their curiosity stirred and rushed toward the source of the voice. When they saw that commission board glowing faintly on the library wall, every single one of them froze.
“Th-this… what is this? New game content?”
“A hidden quest! It’s definitely a hidden quest! Only we loyal core fans who stayed with our Wife could have triggered it!”
“Quick, check the quest details! ‘The Guardian’s Morning Meal’? Does that mean Wife is about to eat breakfast?”
“That’s not the point! Look at the rewards! The rewards!”
One sharp-eyed player pointed with trembling fingers at the very bottom of the board.
【Quest Rewards: A tiny scale of the Golden Dragon King (Legendary Material)】
Legendary material!
Those five words struck everyone like lightning splitting open their skulls.
After a short deathly silence, the scene erupted with an uproar more frenzied than ever before!
“Holy crap! Legendary material! I’ve played this game for a year and barely even seen any Epic material!”
“The Golden Dragon King’s scales! If you use that to make equipment, you’d be set for life!”
“Dream on! This thing’s obviously for forging weapons! Slap Dragon’s Might onto it, and whoever wields it becomes unstoppable!”
“Bullshit! It has to be for a shield! A dragon-scale shield—just imagine the defense on that!”
The temptation of riches turned all players’ eyes blood-red.
But soon, another group had their focus completely elsewhere.
【LaceSupremacy】 squeezed through the crowd, face flushed with excitement as she stared at the quest description: “Do you see this! ‘A noble and picky guest from ancient times’! Who could that be? It’s the Dragon King! And ‘The Guardian’s Morning Meal’—what does that mean? It means Wife personally issued this breakfast commission for the Dragon King!”
Her words immediately awakened countless CP fans.
“I get it! Wife is taking care of the Dragon King!”
“Waaah, not only did Wife take in the homeless Dragon King, now she’s even making breakfast for her—this is divine love!”
“Love my ass! This is the main wife’s warning shot at the new girl! Didn’t you see the requirement? ‘A breakfast full of miracles’! Wife is testing us, to see if we’re qualified to present delicacies to her harem!”
“That makes sense! This isn’t just a quest—it’s the ultimate test of our ‘Knights’ logistics abilities!”
And so, under the dual lure of money and gossip, the players’ atmosphere warped once again.
Just a moment ago, they had been at each other’s throats over city-building plans, but now they instantly reached a shocking consensus.
City-building? Build what city? Could that compare to cooking for Wife?
“【FoodGodDescends】! Where’s Food God? Come out and take the quest already!”
“Yeah! Only Food God is worthy of this kind of quest!”
Before long, that grandmaster chef who had been lamenting his lonely invincibility on the forums was dragged out of the crowd by a mob of players.
【FoodGodDescends】 stared at the quest, his whole body trembling with excitement.
This quest was tailor-made for him!
“I’ll take it! This quest—I’ll take it!” He slammed his hand on the commission board without hesitation.
But the system prompt stunned him.
【System Notification: This commission is an open competition. All players meeting the requirements may participate. The final reward will be personally judged by the commissioner based on the quality of submitted ‘works’.】
An open competition commission?!
That news drove every life-skill player—especially chefs—completely insane.
“Hahaha! I knew it! Wife would never give just one person a chance!”
“Everyone has a shot! Brothers, it’s time to show off our real skills!”
“I, ‘Sichuan Superman’, volunteer! I’ve got my specialty dish, 【Spicy Tofu with Little Lolis】, guaranteed to be so fiery the Dragon King won’t be able to stop! She’ll be in heaven and hell at once!”
“Get lost! Dragons are fire-attribute—you’re gonna make her even hotter? Watch me! I’m ‘Huaiyang Knife-Hand’, and I’ll serve up 【Steamed Deep-Sea Behemoth Tentacle with Banlangen】—light and refreshing, perfect for the Dragon King just waking up!”
“Step aside! I’m ‘French Dessert Master’, and I shall present my life’s masterpiece—【Molten Heart Chocolate Soufflé Gazing at the Sky】! With love and sweetness, I’ll conquer the Dragon King’s stomach!”
In no time, cooking smoke rose across the Western Wasteland.
Players who had been poring over city blueprints now put them away and hauled out pots and pans. The area around the library became an unprecedented open-air culinary tournament.
All sorts of bizarre ingredients were pulled from players’ backpacks.
There was 【Thunder Lizard Thigh Meat】 crackling with lightning, 【Ice Mammoth Tenderloin】 exuding cold mist, 【Flying Ramen】 with actual wings, and even a pair of bouncing Kunbeast legs…
The scene was nothing short of gods fighting.
At the library’s second-floor window, Mophis and Ignis stood side by side, watching the surreal spectacle unfold.
Mophis was completely numb.
She swore, she really had only wanted to deal with a simple breakfast.
How had it escalated into a “Server-Wide God of Cooking Tournament”?
At her side, Ignis’s golden eyes brimmed with curiosity and delight.
“Interesting… truly interesting…” She watched the players use all sorts of unimaginable methods to handle monster ingredients that even she considered tricky, the corners of her lips curving into a playful smile.
“These insects, though weak, do seem to have… some ‘creativity’.”
She could feel the air thick with food aromas, and a few of them even stirred the taste buds that had lain dormant for a thousand years.
Perhaps, staying in this shabby place wasn’t so boring after all.
At least, every breakfast would be full of surprises.
Time ticked by, and the competition reached its climax.
Finally, after exhausting countless precious ingredients and painstaking effort, players carried plates of dazzling, effect-laden “Legendary” breakfasts to the library’s front gate.
There was 【Phoenix Rebirth Roast Chicken】 carved into a phoenix shape, granting “+50% Fire Resistance” with each bite.
There was 【Starlight Seafood Chowder】 served in a blue crystal dish, making starlight sparkle above one’s head for ten minutes with each sip.
There was even 【The Nine-Square Feast】 arranged on a slab of obsidian, featuring nine delicate snacks, each granting a different powerful buff.
Players held their breath, awaiting the “judge’s” verdict.
Ignis looked over the dazzling “works” at the gate, nodding with satisfaction.
She turned toward Mophis and jerked her chin toward the outside. “Go, bring them all to me.”
Her tone was so natural, it was as if Mophis were her personal maid.
Mophis bristled, but she knew now wasn’t the time to argue. She couldn’t defeat this Mother Dragon anyway.
Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the heavy door already drowning in food aroma.
The moment her cold and beautiful figure appeared at the doorway, every player held their breath. The field went silent.
They knew—the moment of judgment had come.
