Chapter 269: Apprentice Chef, Little Caterpillar

“It’s time to train,” Wang Che said. “Today, the Magnetic Sword showed its power. Don’t you feel threatened?”

The little caterpillar nodded. It indeed felt very threatened!

“Ssss!”

The little caterpillar became serious.

It had to protect its big brother’s status.

“Then cut down on your rest time in the future,” Wang Che said, “What do you think about cutting an hour of break?”

The green caterpillar: ヽ(#`Д ?)ノ

It immediately rejected!

Wang Che smiled.

“How about this? I’ll teach you how to refine snacks during the reduced rest time.”

Wang Che said, “Think about it. If you can refine snacks and food yourself, can’t you refine whatever you want to eat in the future?”

“You can refine whatever flavor you want.”

“Isn’t it very good?”

This time, the little caterpillar fell into deep thought.

This seemed to be a very good suggestion!

Thinking of eating, the little caterpillar felt that it could still accept this condition.

When it could refine snacks in the future, it would not need to obtain snacks from Wang Che.

Gradually, the little caterpillar’s eyes lit up.

“Moreover, you can produce flames yourself and have the ability to refine it.”

Wang Che said, “You don’t need to rely on anyone. Isn’t it very good to be a self-reliant little caterpillar?”

At this point, Wang Che walked over and quietly said to the green caterpillar,

“When your proficiency is high, I’ll teach you how to make snacks for Little Sword.”

“When you learn how to refine the snacks of Little Sword, you will have the right to be its staple food. It will admire you more and more, and your big brother’s position will become more and more stable.”

“Ssss!” The little caterpillar patted the ground with its tail and shouted.

‘I agree!’

“Yes, you’re a good student.” Wang Che nodded in satisfaction.

It seemed that in the future, he could also relax in terms of refining snacks and take more time to cultivate.

“Then from today onwards, I’ll teach you how to refine snacks.”

Snacks were the simplest. The staple food involved the mixing of many crops.

Medicinal pills involved different medicinal properties. It was a long learning process.

To the little caterpillar, it could not succeed overnight.

“Ssss!”

The little caterpillar shouted excitedly.

It could refine whatever it wanted to eat.

It smelled freedom!

“Very good. In the refinement process, we need to train your control over the Flame Awakening state. It’s not just the flames produced by using the Raging Flame Strike like before.”

Wang Che took out a pot and placed it aside, “First of all, what flavor leaf snacks do you want to eat the most?”

The little caterpillar thought for a moment and shouted.

It had just condensed fire soul essence and felt a little too hot.

It wanted to eat some cool fragrant snacks instead.

“For fragrant snacks, we’ll use the Water Orchid and blend it with a light-flavored crop, Tree Fruit.”

Wang Che brought the little caterpillar to the two farms outside.

Snacks did not need too many crops to match or estimate too much nutrition.

It only needed pure life force.

Although it could not increase the little caterpillar’s soul power and growth, it could increase the little caterpillar’s life force.

The Water Orchid was a low-level soul plant with water energy. It could be used to make staple food and snacks.

The staple food required more than ten crops to add various nutrients.

The snacks only needed to be neutralized with the tree fruits.

There were only two crops, so the refinement was naturally very simple.

When he arrived at the farm, Wang Che asked the little caterpillar to pluck a few fragrant tree fruits with its thread.

Of course, the little caterpillar would not add poison to the thread.

After plucking it, Wang Che took out a Water Orchid from the first level.

“You don’t have claws yet. It’s rather difficult to use the refinement technique like me.”

Wang Che said, “So, let’s use the initial refinement method: Boil.”

He was now refining snacks, staple food, medicinal pills, and spirit medicine.

He could just use profound refinement techniques to match the little caterpillar’s flames.

After all, it had soul power..

The little caterpillar currently did not have hands. After entering the First Stage True Dragon Form, it only grew two small claws.

Therefore, it was rather difficult to use the refinement technique.

It was enough to boil it.

“Alright, let’s begin now. Pay attention to your control over fire and soul power.”

Wang Che placed the pot in the air, “Use the thread to wrap around the pot, then use the Force of Nature to add clean water into the pot. Then, use the Object Control Technique to separate a thread to wrap around the Water Orchid. Take it slowly step by step.”

“Let’s boil the Water Orchid through the high temperature and turn it into juice.”

The little caterpillar worked seriously.

Every step was not very difficult because they were separated.

historical

The pot was a special soul device that was not very expensive.

Many students in the agriculture and plant industries learned how to cook food from this pot.

It was extremely resistant to high temperatures and could also guide the heat very well, slowly melting the soul plant in the pot.

“Alright, enter the Flame Awakening state now. Spit out the flames and slowly heat it up. You need to have a very strong control over this state.”

The little caterpillar did as Wang Che said.

In the past, it was always the little caterpillar who stood to the side and cast flames.

Wang Che was the one who controlled the temperature of the flames.

It watched from the side.

Now, it was personally controlling it.

Wang Che only watched from the side.

Looking at the little caterpillar’s serious expression, Wang Che nodded slightly.

In less than half an hour, with Wang Che’s occasional pointers, the little caterpillar was about to finish refining.

“Alright, now that the fruit has also melted, the temperature will decrease. Then, control the thread of the worm and stir it slightly so that your thick juice can fuse.”

Soul plants were different from crops.

Most soul plants were natural and had fragrance.

Coupled with the fact that it was produced in a spiritual field, the quality was extremely high.

There was no need to add too many random condiments and modify it.

The crops planted in the farms were also very outstanding and of high quality.

For example, the fruit that Wang Che had chosen had an alluring fragrance after being boiled at a high temperature.

There was no need for ordinary condiments like the fragrance essence, fruit acid, and so on.

To soul pets, too many additives would make them dislike it.

He only needed to perfectly fuse the two liquids together.

Of course, the difficulty was perfection.

Seeing that it was about time, Wang Che took out a leaf sharpener.

If there was a refinement method, it could directly gather the lava into the shape of a leaf.

The little caterpillar started refining pills from scratch.. to refine snacks, it naturally needed some grinding equipment to help.

“Increase the flames to evaporate the liquid.”

Wang Che said, “Then, pour it into the grinding equipment separately. Use the Vortex Soul Skill to wrap the grinding equipment and quickly cool it down. It can be eaten in ten minutes.”

Actually, soul plants and tree fruits could be used directly.

However, the absorption efficiency was very low. It needed to be refined into other food or medicine to increase the use of soul plants.

The little caterpillar sniffed the fragrance and its eyes flickered. It immediately poured the food into the dozen leaf molds.

Then, it used the Vortex soul skill to wrap the grinding device and quickly reduce the temperature.

Ten minutes later, the temperature of the grinding equipment gradually decreased.

It lifted the small leaf mold. It was its first time refining it with Wang Che’s guidance.

The refinement process of the little caterpillar was rather smooth.

There were a few times when it could not control the temperature in the Flame Awakening state.

The juice was almost ruined.

Fortunately, with Wang Che’s guidance, it was saved in time.

Wang Che also walked over and sniffed.

In terms of color and fragrance, it was average.

The important thing was, it could be eaten.

After all, this was the first time it had been refined.

Actually, it was already very good to be able to do this.

For the first time, most students failed in refining soul pet snacks.

It was mainly because the little caterpillar had been used by him to refine various food and medicinal pills for a long time.

After looking at it for a long time, it roughly understood the steps.

The little caterpillar poured out the first leaf snack and handed it to Wang Che.

‘Eat, eat!’

Then, it poured out the second leaf and handed it to the Magnetic Sword watching from the side.

It let out a cry.

‘Little Sword, eat too, don’t stand on ceremony!’

“..” Magnetic Sword.

‘I’m not a bug. I don’t eat leaves.’

Wang Che ate a piece.

The taste was okay. The water attribute energy loss in the Water Orchid was not too serious, not even half.

A portion of the water energy was locked by the blazing fire and the juice of the tree fruits.

The texture was rather soft and emitted the unique fragrance of the Water Orchid.

The efficiency of these two crops, especially the Water Orchid, was only about 30%..

It barely reached the passing grade.

“Not bad!” Wang Che encouraged.

“Ssss!”

The little caterpillar was very excited. This was the first snack it had refined.

It was actually much worse than the snacks Wang Che had refined.

However, the little caterpillar ate with relish!

It finished most of the remaining snacks in one go and lay down to rest in satisfaction.

Wang Che narrowed his eyes and walked over.

“Do you feel good?”

“Ssss!” The little caterpillar burped.

“Let’s refine less next time,” Wang Che said, “We refined too much this time. If we refine too much, it won’t be easy for you to control. Refine as much as you want in the future. How about that?”

The little caterpillar was very satisfied and nodded without thinking too much.

From then on, the little caterpillar officially became an apprentice chef.

Every day, it would rest and think about refining snacks.

Honestly speaking..

Be it farming or cooking, the little caterpillar personally planted the crops and personally harvested them before refining them into snacks.

This greatly increased the little caterpillar’s participation.

Its interest in farming also increased.

After all, as long as crops were planted, it could cook snacks on its own.

Although the snacks refined were not as delicious as Wang Che’s, the feeling of harvest and satisfaction was incomparable.

It had one less hour of rest, but it could refine snacks every day.

This made the little caterpillar feel that it was not bad.

Under Wang Che’s guidance, the little caterpillar’s control over the flames had increased greatly. The snacks it refined were also getting better and better.

Moreover, it would cook as much as it ate.

Wang Che only needed to grasp the quantity of the raw materials.

There was no possibility of wasting it.

“When you can make the snacks glow slightly, we’ll begin to make the staple food.”

The snacks glowed slightly, and it was not a lie. The higher the efficiency, the more life force the snacks produced would have, forming a special luster!

This was also the basic standard to determine the quality of the food.

For example, the food that Shen Mingluan had given the new students at the school opening ceremony was glowing slightly. This was the reason.

According to Wang Che’s calculations, after the little caterpillar’s proficiency in refining snacks was about sufficient, it would have almost finished the first batch of staple food.

After accumulating a little more staple food, the little caterpillar could refine its own staple food in the future.

It would slowly learn how to refine medicinal pills after the standard of the staple food increased.

Step by step, Wang Che planned for the little caterpillar’s future.

Just like that, two weeks gradually passed..
