Chapter 130 - Learning A Cooking Technique
Sometime later, once the receptionist called for them and allocated a total of 160000 contribution points to them, they left the place with smiles on their face.
Vincent and Varth got the lion shares as they did most of the work.
They took 50000 contribution points each.
However, they didn't let Leilani off with side change.
She got what she deserved.
The share of a queen.
She got 50000 contribution points, too.
John got 10000 contribution points as he didn't do a lot in the battles that took place in the woods and the beast's forest.
He was happy with what he got, as even that was a huge amount for the contributions he made in the battle.
"I think 10000 points should be enough to hire a chef to cook an evolution dish for me. Guys, am I right?" John asked in anticipation.
He no longer wanted to remain unawakened.
He wanted to awaken and gain hold of an ability.
"It should be enough. Even if it isn't, I will pay for it." Leilani said, willing to pay for John's expenses as he was her little brother.
"Thanks," John said jovially as he looked at Leilani.
"Good. You both should take this time to get a chef with a good reputation to create an evolution dish for you. Don't hire one with a suspicious reputation. And remember to sign a contract before handing over the Fruit of Darkness to the Chef. It's easy to get scammed nowadays, and a lot of chefs wouldn't hesitate to do that in case of an extraordinary evolution material like the one in your hands." Vincent said after giving them two out of the three Fruit of Darkness.
"We understand!"
The twins went to the food court, intending to hire a chef with a good reputation and get a dish made out of their evolution material.
Their combined wealth exceeded 50000 contribution points. And Leilani knew that it requires only 10000 contribution points to hire a chef to purify a demonic realm evolution material and get a dish made out of it as she had heard about it from Damien's mouth.
Damien seemed like a friend of her boyfriend and also a trustable guy, so she wanted to hire him. However, he wasn't here. She had no choice but to put her trust in another chef. She looked through several Magic Chef, each with a different skillset and cooking style, and ended up selecting the one with a cheap service price and very high ratings.
"It will cost a total of 20000 contribution points to purify and make a dish out of it. And it will take me three days to do so. This fruit is brimming with negative energy. And it isn't easy to purify negative energy from extraordinary evolution material. I would need to utilize one unit of purified magic energy to purify one unit of negative energy in this fruit. This fruit contains around a thousand. So, it will take three days of hard work to clean one out of harmful effects and make a dish out of it. Two of them will take me a week."
Magic Chef Asclepias, a sophomore of the military academy, said as he looked at the two freshmen.
John turned to look at Leilani with a look of expectation in his eyes.
The price was astronomical. And he only had half of that. He couldn't afford it. But he wished that his sister will loan ten thousand contribution points to him.
"Don't worry. I will pay for it." Leilani said in a calm voice.
She has earned tens of thousands of contribution points in only a few days.
Wouldn't she earn a lot more in the future?
What was this little amount of money?
Why wouldn't she use it to help herself and her brother become stronger?
"I will pay you back in the future," John said after he hugged her out of happiness.
"Um, have you guys decided?" Asclepias asked after a moment.
"Yes, but before we proceed, we would like to sign a legal contract," John said.
"Sure. I have no problem with that." Asclepias replied in a carefree tone.
Soon, they drafted a contract that said that Asclepias cannot scam them from their evolution materials and that they will pay before he begins working.
Varth, at this time of the day, was busy purchasing beast's bullets from the markets. Although he had earned a lot, most of it got wasted on restocking on bullets. Beast's bullets weren't cheap. A round of the weakest Beast's bullet that could penetrate the defense of monsters and beasts in the first to the third rank of the magical realm cost him a hundred points. The higher the power of the Beast's Bullet, the more costlier they get.
Purchasing twenty-five bullets that can penetrate the defense of Monster in the early ranks of the demonic realm cost him 5000 contribution points.
"This marks the end of my shopping time. What else should I do today? I should just rest and mentally prepare myself for creating Ability Crystal using alchemy tomorrow. I need to make dozens of them out of the pool of darkness. They will act as my life-saving charms, after all." Varth said in his mind, walking back to him in a hurry.
He wanted to sleep with Noah in his hand.
He was sure he will feel better after a good night's sleep.
He was still feeling irritated at little things right now.
It's because he had used the powers of the left eye of the Ancient Demon Abhorrent.
It has mentally corrupted him, making it easy for him to become aggravated.
Meanwhile, Nevis happened to be playing in the Arena of Valor, getting his ass handed to him by ability users, while Vincent was sitting in a silent corner of the library, reading a book on cooking techniques.
Vincent had bought three different cooking techniques a few moments ago.
And right now, he had memorized the content of two of them by using the instant knowledge transferring function of his family's heirloom
He picked up the last book on a famous cooking technique with the intent to memorize it.
A notification popped up in front of him in the next moment.
