Chapter 38 Adding three spoonfuls of sugar will bring misfortune
Zhao Tao returned to the dormitory with a brisk pace.
Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin, three of his old teammates, were also waiting.
"Brother Tao, did you succeed?"
Tang Wulin approached Zhao Tao with some curiosity and asked.
"Of course!"
"Now I've officially advanced to the Grand Spirit Master level!"
Zhao Tao smiled faintly upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, and two purple spirit rings shone from his body.
"Congratulations, Brother Tao!"
Xie Xie, looking at the spirit rings on Zhao Tao's body, also smiled and congratulated him.
"By the way, Zhao Tao, what's your new spirit skill?"
At this moment, Gu Yue, who was standing by, also asked with a look of curiosity.
Upon hearing Gu Yue's words, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie also pricked up their ears with curiosity.
After all, they also wanted to know how powerful Brother Tao's second soul skill was!
"My second soul skill is called Momentary Beauty!"
"As for the effect, it changes the target's time flow, either speeding it up or slowing it down!"
"Now, I'll let you experience it!"
Hearing Gu Yue's words, Zhao Tao smiled slightly and urged his soul power.
As the second circle of purple soul rings on his body flashed, mysterious fluctuations of time enveloped Gu Yue and the other three.
"Wow, so magical!"
"I can feel that my speed has doubled!"
After running forward a few steps, a look of surprise flashed in Xie Xie's eyes!
"Yeah, this feeling is great!"
"By the way, Brother Tao, try the deceleration effect on us again!"
Experiencing the accelerating effects of Momentary Beauty, Tang Wulin's face lit with excitement as he spoke.
"Time slowing is usually used against enemies."
"But since you want to experience it, that's fine!"
Zhao Tao smiled faintly at Tang Wulin's words and activated his second spirit ability again.
Instantly,
the power of time enveloping the three of them reversed, shifting from accelerating time to slowing it down.
"What a strange feeling! Even my control over the elements has become much slower!"
"If we deal with an enemy in this state, we'll definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"
Under the effects of Momentary Beauty's slowing time flow,
Gu Yue rolled several fireballs and wind blades, marveling at the resistance.
"Yes, Brother Tao, this soul skill of yours is truly invincible!"
Elsewhere, upon hearing Gu Yue's words, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie also sighed in admiration.
"Invincible? That's far from it!"
"Even if the three of you were at about the same level as me, and I were to bless you all simultaneously, I wouldn't be able to maintain it for more than a minute."
"If I were to face a Soul Master or even a stronger foe, the drain on my soul power would increase exponentially.
" "However, aside from the enormous drain, this soul skill itself is truly exceptional!"
Zhao Tao explained as he dispelled the effects of "Momentary Beauty.
" "I see!"
"So, it seems the timing of this soul skill is crucial!"
Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Gu Yue nodded in understanding and immediately offered his own opinion.
"Yes, Gu Yue, you're right, but this will require more cooperation and training from us in the future."
"However, since today marks a breakthrough, we should still celebrate!"
Zhao Tao nodded, a bright smile on his face.
"Great! Brother Tao, why don't you treat us all to a good meal at the snack street to celebrate?"
"There's so much delicious food there. It's a pity that I didn't even get to eat enough last time I met that Guanglong guy!"
Tang Wulin excitedly suggested after hearing Zhao Tao's words.
"No, no, no, today, I plan to show you my cooking skills myself!"
Zhao Tao shook his head.
While eating out was more convenient,
this time, Zhao Tao planned to show off his culinary skills and, by the way, strengthen his relationship with Gu Yue.
After all, as the saying goes, conquer a woman's stomach and you conquer her heart.
And coincidentally, the reborn Zhao Tao also knows the food that Gu Yue likes.
This is also the fastest way to re-establish a bond with Gu Yue.
As he spoke, Zhao Tao took out various ingredients from the storage soul guide.
"Wow, Brother Tao, you can cook too?"
Looking at the ingredients Zhao Tao took out, Xie Xie on the side was also full of curiosity.
"Of course, I'm a gourmet!"
With a smug smile on his face, Zhao Tao led everyone to the public kitchen area of the dormitory.
Rolling up his sleeves and putting on an apron, Zhao Tao smiled and skillfully prepared the ingredients.
As for Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin, they also surrounded Zhao Tao curiously, wanting to witness Zhao Tao's cooking skills.
"Today is a celebration, so I'll make a cream cake for everyone to try."
As he spoke, Zhao Tao took out the raw materials such as eggs, flour, milk and milk, and quickly stirred them evenly.
Then, he scooped out two large spoonfuls of white sugar and poured them into the cake batter.
"Brother Tao, only two spoonfuls of sugar, won't it be enough?"
"How about adding one more spoonful? "
Tang Wulin on the side reminded Zhao Tao as he watched his movements.
"Wulin, do you know that adding three spoonfuls of sugar will bring misfortune, and two large spoonfuls of sugar are the most appropriate."
Zhao Tao explained seriously after hearing Tang Wulin's words.
"I remember, Brother Tao, adding three spoonfuls of sugar will bring misfortune!"
Hearing this, Tang Wulin nodded seriously, and kept Zhao Tao's teachings in mind.
Then, Zhao Tao carefully poured the cake batter into the mold.
Put it in the oven and start baking.
"With the staple food, we also need a main course!"
"Today's main course is spicy rabbit heads!"
While Zhao Tao was baking the cake, he began preparing the main dish—spicy rabbit heads.
This was also Zhao Tao's specialty before his rebirth,
and it was a favorite of both Gu Yue and Na'er.
Zhao Tao methodically prepared a large bowl of secret sauce.
He then took out a large bag of fresh soft-bone charm rabbit heads and marinated them in the sauce.
Then, Zhao Tao heated a large pot of oil and added the marinated rabbit heads to the pan for frying.
"Wow, what a nice smell!"
Gu Yue couldn't help but purse her lips at the golden-fried rabbit heads and the alluring aroma.
"Of course! You must trust my cooking, Gu Yue!"
Zhao Tao said as he poured the prepared soul sauce into the pot.
In an instant, the once golden rabbit heads were dyed a dark red, and a rich aroma burst forth once more.
"One last word, a mid-meal drink: the rainbow juice I specially blended!"
He scooped the spicy rabbit heads from the pot and piled them onto an iron plate, forming a small pyramid of rabbit heads, resembling a Jingguan (a Buddhist temple).
Then, Zhao Tao took out various spiritual fruits, expertly chopped them, and poured them into the juicer.
As the various spiritual fruits blended, a stream of colorful juice flowed from the juicer, exuding a delightful blend of fruit aromas. Zhao Tao then poured it into a jade pot.
"Done, done!"
Clapping his hands, Zhao Tao held the baked cake from the oven. Tang Wulin and Xie Xie carried the iron plate containing the mountain of spicy rabbit heads, and Gu Yue held the jade pot filled with rainbow juice.
The four of them excitedly emerged from the kitchen, ready to feast.
