"The Demon King's Test."
"Content: Lin Chef? It seems you're at the threshold; you've come over but not yet crossed it. However, that doesn't prevent you from reproducing the Demon King's recipe and securing Tiqie Xianzuowen's approval."
"Please present a piece acknowledged by the Demon King within 2 hours. Failure will result in a random punishment (hunger, loss of taste, loss of touch, etc.), which will last one natural month."
Punishment!
Xia Yu was stunned. "What's going on?"
"With your current progress, the system has determined you have a high probability of immediately mastering a Lin Chef-level recipe. Pay attention to pairing it with the right tool," the system responded mechanically.
"So if I don't keep up with the progress, I get punished?"
He couldn't describe the feeling, it felt strange.
It was as if the system was a strict teacher, and what was scarier, this teacher monitored his learning constantly.
