Welcome everyone to yet another episode of season 1.Enjoy your read
.......................
The ominous voice from the PA system faded, leaving behind an unnerving silence. The cafeteria was a mixture of stunned students, still-recovering commandos, and a God-Emperor who was more concerned about his meal than the impending doom.
"Right," Han Jin said, ignoring the terrified faces around him.
"First things first. Lin Xi, that spice rack."
Lin Xi, still reeling from the voice that had called Han Jin a God-Emperor, could only stare blankly.
"It's... in my locker.
Class 3-B.
It's dimensionally locked, only accessible via my retinal scan and a quantum key."
"Amateur," Han Jin scoffed.
He extended his hand, the rusty paperclip glowing faintly.
He didn't need retinal scans or quantum keys.
He just needed to link the concept of Lin Xi's Locker to Han Jin's Pocket.
A faint pop echoed, and a small, intricately carved wooden box, no larger than a shoebox, materialized in his hand.
It hummed with ancient energy.
[Item: Star-Grade Spice Rack (Andromeda Sector)]
[Description: Contains salts harvested from nebula cores, sugars from crystallized starlight, and peppers grown in the heart of supernovae.
Warning: May cause spontaneous combustion if used improperly.]
"Perfect," Han Jin said, opening the box. Inside, vials of glittering dust and shimmering crystals pulsed with faint light. He picked up a vial labeled 'Salt of Creation.'
"System," he commanded. "Activate the 'Intermediate Recipe Book (Soul-Nourishing Edition)' and overlay it onto the current cafeteria ingredients."
[BING! Activating 'Culinary Mode'.]
[Recipe: 'Starlight Fried Rice (Abridged - Mortal Adaptation)']
[Ingredients: Leftover Cafeteria Rice (1 part), Mystery Meat (0.5 part), Wilted Broccoli (0.2 part), Salt of Creation (Pinch), Nebular Sugar (Dash), Essence of Void Pepper (Hint).]
[Instructions: Begin by stabilizing the rice's qi flow...]
Han Jin pushed aside his untouched tray. He looked at the vast, steaming piles of cafeteria food with a new, professional glint in his eye.
He wasn't just cooking; he was performing alchemy.
"Alright, everyone," Han Jin announced, his voice carrying the authority of a general addressing his troops.
"Listen up. If you want to survive the Second Wave,you need your cultivation base strengthened.
And for that, you need proper nourishment."
He walked over to the massive, industrial-sized wok.
The cafeteria staff, still cowering under tables, watched in terrified fascination as Han Jin took control.
He tossed the rice into the wok, then the mystery meat, which instantly began to sizzle with an otherworldly glow.
He didn't use a spatula.
He used his spiritual sense to gently stir the ingredients.
He pinched a shimmering crystal from the Nebular Sugar vial, and as it hit the wok, the entire cafeteria filled with the scent of blooming flowers and distant galaxies.
The wilted broccoli, instead of turning to mush, began to glow a vibrant, emerald green.
The Essence of Void Pepper was added, and the air around the wok shimmered, heat rippling in waves that weren't just thermal, but spiritual.
Lin Xi watched, captivated. "He's not just cooking," she whispered.
"He's refining the spiritual essence of the ingredients. He's turning garbage into elixirs."
As Han Jin stirred, the sounds of his cooking echoed like a celestial symphony.
The rice grains individually shimmered, absorbing the cosmic energies.
The mystery meat transformed, becoming tender and fragrant.
The broccoli crisped, radiating life force.
Finally, he scooped out a single, perfect bowl of "Starlight Fried Rice."
It didn't look like cafeteria food.
It looked like a work of art, each grain of rice sparkling like a miniature star.
The aroma was intoxicating, a blend of savory, sweet, and something utterly divine that made everyone's mouth water and their very souls hum.
"Here," Han Jin said, presenting it to Lin Xi. "Try it. It's the least you can do for providing the raw materials."
Lin Xi, mesmerized by the aroma, took the bowl with trembling hands.
She took a tentative bite.
Her eyes widened.
Her entire body seemed to vibrate.
A faint, golden light emanated from her, and the lingering stress from her Andromeda Soul Seal seemed to vanish, replaced by a surge of pure, vibrant energy.
[BING! Target 'Lin Xi' has consumed 'Starlight Fried Rice'.
Spiritual Reserves increased by 500%. Mental stress reduced by 90%.
Favor Increased: 35/100 (Grudgingly Impressed/Potentially Fed)]
"Incredible," Lin Xi breathed. "My cultivation bottleneck... it's loosening.
Just from a single bite!"
"It's average," Han Jin said, though a flicker of pride showed in his eyes.
"Now, if I had a proper kitchen, I could really show you what I can do."
He then proceeded to cook for the entire class.
He didn't make them all Starlight Fried Rice....he varied it, using his knowledge to adapt the cafeteria's meager offerings into personalized elixirs.
Fatty Wei got a dish that specifically boosted his defensive qi. The bullied quiet kid received a meal that sharpened his mental faculties.
The atmosphere in the cafeteria transformed.
The terror was gone, replaced by a newfound energy and a strange, almost cult-like devotion to their accidental chef.
[BING! Quest: Culinary Salvation (Hidden) - COMPLETE!]
[Objective: Elevate the spiritual and physical well-being of your 'Testing Room' inhabitants.]
[Reward: 'Emperor's Kitchen' (Loot Box - Contains high-tier cooking utensils and ingredients), 'Fan Base Growth' (Passive Skill - Increases Power Stones and Collections at a steady rate).]
"Excellent," Han Jin said, looking at the Emperor's Kitchen Loot Box.
"Finally, some decent tools.
I can't be fighting interdimensional threats on an empty stomach, or with food that tastes like regret."
Just as he finished the last bowl, the building groaned.
The lights flickered.
The familiar, chilling voice boomed through the now-repaired PA system, closer this time.
"You cook well, God-Emperor.
But can you fight on a full stomach? The Hunter is at your door."
A massive, shadowy figure smashed through the front entrance of the school, sending debris flying.
It was a humanoid entity, impossibly tall, cloaked in ragged black robes that seemed to absorb all light.
Its face was a featureless void, but from within, two pinpricks of icy blue light glared directly at Han Jin.
[Monster Identified: Void Hunter (Rank: C+)]
[Danger Level: Extreme. Designed to neutralize 'Awakened' entities.
Avoid direct confrontation.]
Han Jin simply wiped his hands on a napkin. "System, Give me my Emperor's Kitchen Loot Box. And make it snappy.
This Hunter is interrupting dessert."
