Primordial Draconic Incubus With A Gourmet Chef System

Soon, thirteen Berry Blasts were served, while the last Berry Blast remained in the kitchen for Lily.

"Ahh~ As expected from Chef Lucian." One of the nobodies exclaimed shamelessly.

"What do you mean 'as expected'? This is your first time tasting Chef Lucian's menu item." Another nobody rolled his eyes in disdain, then he sipped the beautiful drink.

Sometime later, as the four nobodies simultaneously swallowed the drink, their eyes widened in astonishment as their blood began raging in their bodies.

Swiftly, they checked their bodies. To their astonishment, they discovered their Mana Pools had drastically improved.

Compared to the others, such an increase was monumental for them, since they were only Blood Tempering Realm Mages.

Most importantly, their blood violently surging was a sign that meant they were close to ascending to the Tendon Tempering Realm.

Now, all they had to do was soak their tendons in their Mana to temper them!

After watching the varying reactions of his customers, Lucian returned to his kitchen to continue preparing the Siren's Melody Poached Egg.

As the Siren's Melody Eggs were poaching, Lucian grabbed Lily's Berry Blast, wanting to deliver it to her personally, but before he could ask the System to transport him into the Spatial Farm, he heard:

[Host, allow the System to transport Lily's Berry Blast into the Spatial Farm.] The System said all of sudden, then without waiting for its Host's reply, it sent the Berry Blast into the Spatial Farm.

[Didn't you say physical materials couldn't be sent into the Spatial Farm without going through the portal?] Lucian frowned and asked as he started chopping Netherbane Chives for the Siren's Melody Poached Egg.

[That is true; however, the System Features can still be accessed within the Spatial Farm. Therefore, the System stored the Berry Blast in the Inventory and gave it to Lily just now,] The System lied without a change in its tone. Being a System, it could analyze and calculate an infinite number of paths it could take.

The only issue with the method was that it took time, which was why it had done so prior to its Host having finished the Berry Blast.

Without giving another second to its Host, it continued, [The System recommends to do self-service. As the future Transcendent Chef, the Host should focus on cooking.]

More variables would create more issues. To minimize such variables, the System swiftly changed the topic.

[Why didn't you say that before?] Lucian dramatically sighed as he garnished the Siren's Melody Eggs with Dragon Fly Flake Salt, Frostfire Black Pepper, and Netherbane Chives.

Just like that seven Siren's Melody Poached Egg dishes were completed.

Subsequently, Lucian placed one of the plates of Siren's Melody Poached Egg on the serving hatch and tapped the service bell, which had just appeared on the serving hatch.

*Ding*

Following the ring of the bell, Lucian's voice drifted out from the kitchen, "You're Siren's Melody Poached Egg is ready. Hervy, come get it."

"Self-service? What happened to L- MPHHH"

Before Hervy could finish saying his sister's name, Garrett shut his mouth with a quick Earth Bind Skill.

Of course, the little exchange between the two did not go unnoticed by James.

'I was right, Garrett knows of her identity. But to think Hervy knows her identity as well.'

He then looked at the rest of the Lion's Liver and continued his train of thought, 'Do they know as well?'

"MPHH!" Hervy's muffled voice continued to sound out for some time until Garrett removed his Skill.

Feeling that his face suddenly lost five pounds of weight, Hervy snorted "Tch!"

He then stood up and made his way to the serving hatch,

'To think that with my status I have to personally retrieve my food.' Had it been before, Hervy would have exploded in anger and curses, but now, he could not afford to. He would rather take his chances against Garm than possibly lose out on increasing his Mage Rank to who knows what.

With one hand grabbing the side of the plate, Hervy returned to his table.

"Garm, your Siren's Melody Poached Egg is also re-" Before Lucian could continue, he saw a small portal materialize below the plate, causing the plate to fall into it. Subsequently, the plate appeared before Garm.

"Master, please enjoy," Albert said respectfully. Of course, it was his Spatial Magic that had transported the dish. As a professional servant, how could he allow his Master to do something as menial as serving himself? Such a job should be left to himself.

'How great would it be if I had him working for me?' Lucian sighed in envy. Space Element had so many uses. If Albert worked for him, he would become the number one delivery man.

As if understanding Lucian's thoughts, the System advised, [The Host should entice Albert into serving you as his Master.]

[No, I'm too weak to go against Garm.] Lucian said indifferently before narrowing his eyes, [In the future… he'll be mine.]

[Host, if taken out of context… that sounded… quite… sexual.] The System said teasingly as it stored a plate of Siren's Melody Poached Egg in its Inventory.

[Blame yourself for having a dirty mind.] Lucian said with a frown. [By the way, how much does it cost to make the serving hatch longer in length and width?]

[One gold per inch.]

[... How much would it cost to increase its size to fit ten plates?]

Currently, the serving hatch could only fit one plate and the serving bell.

The System did not immediately reply. It spread its Soul Power and calculated quickly, [Each plate is ten inches in diameter, and the host wishes to fit ten plates. To fit nine more plates, you will need 90 inches in length. The width would need to be ten inches. Also, for safety, at least an inch is required between the plates.]

[Going by the System's calculations, it will cost 99 Gold Coins to make the adjustments.] The System said.

[Alright, go ahead with it. Deduct the Gold Coins and make the necessary adjustments.]

[Understood, Host.]

<{1,494 Gold Coins → 1,395 Gold Coins}>

[The changes will now commence.] As the System finished speaking, Lucian and the others, who were waiting for their food, watched as the serving hatch magically widened in length and width.

[Good.] Lucian nodded satisfactorily, and quickly placed four plates of Siren's Melody Poached Egg on the serving hatch and rang the bell.

*Ding*

"Fenwick, James, Li Yong, and Anselm." Lucian simply said, expecting them to understand what he meant by the plates of food on the serving hatch and him calling their names.

While they walked over to collect their food and the System transported Lily's Siren's Melody Poached Egg to the Spatial Farm, Lucian finally returned to making the Sweet Berry Cream Glazed Dough Balls.

[Host, the dough requires ten more minutes to rise. Please wait until the time is up!] The System reminded, to which Lucian nodded in understanding.

Since there was still some time left until the dough finished rising, Lucian wanted to prepare the glaze. With that in mind, he retrieved the Starberry Juice, Dreamwhip Cream, Vanilla Extract, and Peach Blossom Nectar from the fridge.

Next, he poured the ingredients into a saucepan according to the exact measurements from the menu card and then mixed the ingredients.

After mixing the ingredients, the glaze was pink and had a sweet, peach blossom aromatic smell, which assaulted his nostrils and caused him to see stars momentarily.

'That must be the effect of the Dreamwhip Cream when combined with Starberry Juice.'

Next, according to his memories from Earth, the glaze needed to be heated.

After turning on the hob, Lucian placed the saucepan directly on it and gently folded the mixture on top of itself.

As the glaze gently heated to make the consistency loose, like liquid, Lucian grabbed a deep pot and filled it with the Fire Blossom Oil.

For now, he did not turn the hob on as there were still a few steps that required his immediate attention.

The ten minutes were up; therefore, the dough was finished. Lucian gently removed the cloth.

Instantly, the warm, slightly sweet aroma of the dough filled the kitchen.

Lucian then lightly dusted the countertop with Iron Wing Eagle Flour to prevent the dough from sticking, then began pulling the dough into small equal-sized portions.

After the pulling of the dough was done and Lucian turned the hob to the max setting, each portion was then rolled into golf-ball-sized balls.

Soon, twenty-four dough balls were neatly arranged on the countertop.

That was right, the recipe, or the lack thereof, created twenty-four dough balls. He could be wrong, but with his years of experience, a golf ball-sized dough ball was the perfect size.

Not only that, Lucian was certain he had not messed up in the dough's creation. As he had rolled the dough into balls, he noticed the dough's texture was soft, yet firm enough to hold its shape.
