Chapter 708 Many Rewards Related With Cooking
?
-----
Once we were done dinning, we returned back home happily. Mostly everyone decided to go back to their own homes while Aquarina kept herself at my side alongside Zephy and Nephilim, she said she wanted to have a sleepover, and had already asked her parents, so I guess we'll cuddle together tonight. And on the way, I checked on the Quest Completion Notification.
Ding!
[You Have Completed The [Special Quest]: [Complete the Three Tasks of the Young Chef Joseph!]
[Incredible! Not only have you completed the Quest in less than a day, but you've done it all perfectly! With this, you've considerably raised your fame around the entire town of Agartha, and aside from those you've helped, many people may begin to see you as someone competent and helpful. Now take your rewards and go rest!]
[You've Received Bonus Completion Rewards for completing the quest in less than 12 Hours!]
[You Received The Following Completion Rewards: [1400000 EXP] [800000 Shared EXP] [Greater Strengthening Elixir (B Grade)] x6 [Greater Skill Proficiency Potion (B Grade)] x6 [Greater Rune Potion (B Grade)] x6 [Joseph's Skill Scroll (D Grade)] x1 [Magical Cooking Pot (B Grade)] x1]
[Naturia] [Ignatius] [Beelzebub] [Curse] [Furoh] [Glutton] [Sapphire] and [Scarlet] Levels have increased from Level 9 to Level 11!]
[Nephilim] Level has increased from Level 4 to Level 5!]
Nice, everyone got some more levels and I've got plenty of items! With this, my Inventory is once again full of new stuff. I should be happy, I haven't gotten this many saucy quests in a while… And they only pop up when I'm doing very special stuff, so I can guess they'll disappear once I go back to my normal daily life.
Seeing the reward, I got a new Scroll related to Joseph? So I can get one of his Abilities as a Skill! That's interesting… The other reward is a strange Magical Cooking Pot. I am guessing it is to cook tastier meals, right? I'll have to look into it once I have some free time, because Aquarina is not letting me go.
For now I should still learn the new Scroll's Skill, by merely holding it in my pocket, I can quickly "use" it, and make the scroll disappear and turn into a Skill, as easy as that.
Ding!
[You've used the [Joseph's Skill Scroll (D Grade)]!]
[Please choose one of these Skills to Learn.]
[Loudspeaker]
[Shop Owner]
[Cooking]
Eh?! He only has three skills?! I guess he's much weaker than I expected. Well, all of his talent was about cooking, but come on, not even a single magic spell, mister Joseph?
Well, whatever's the case… these seem interesting. Loudspeaker is… about speaking loudly? Wow. And then there's the Shop Owner. I am guessing it gives bonuses when owning a business of some sort? And lastly, the plain ol' Cooking.
Shop Owner seems tempting, but right now I won't be having a shop until much later, when we find the two Heroes in this Continent, and I might as well get Cooking because I already got a magic cooking pot for it.
Ding!
[You've selected the [Cooking] Skill!]
[You've learned the [Cooking: Lv1] Skill!]
-----

An essential Skill for all Chefs.
Grants the ability to cook ingredients into delicious food through mastery learned over time plus a fixed bonus into cooking inspiration, cooking style, and recipes learned or created based on the Skill Level.
Additionally, all Food Cooked using this Skill Tastes +100% more delicious, with an additional +15% with each Skill Level, and Cooked Food can Temporarily Buff Stats based on Ingredients Quality and Cooking Mastery by up to +10%, with an additional +5% with each Skill Level.
Level Bonus (1): 50% Chance for Cooked Meals to have Special Effects when Prepared with High Quality Ingredients. Temporary Stat Buff increases by +5%.
-----
I finally have a Cooking Skill and it already comes with some insane powers! It can boost stats temporarily if prepared well?! That's some insane effects. And that 50% chance to grant Special Effects on top of that is even more insane already! Woah…
And if I combine it with this…
-----
[Magical Cooking Pot (B Grade)]
A Special Pot crafted with Divine Power by the System itself. It is made of a very durable metal that can resist several grades of heat just fine and always makes tasty food. It has several unique abilities within itself, granting the power to improve upon the cooking of chefs. An ideal magical item that can even clean itself, it is ideal for anybody's path to the world of cuisine!
[Special Effects]: [Auto Cleaning] [Daily Random Soup Creation] [Enhance Flavors]
-----
Wooow! It can even create soups?! And it cleans itself and can also enhance flavors! Nice, it is ideal. And if I give it a System Seed alongside the Alchemy Cauldron, wouldn't that give me some insanely unique Familiars? I think I can fit both in my soul, it has grown rather big after my latest powerup.
But for now I should hold back and do it later… Aquarina is watching. Though shouldn't I just reveal these powers to her anyways? I've been considering it, but it should be perfect in her birthday. It will happen after grandmother's visit. But maybe I should just give her a seed and be done with it? Hmm, but it would kill the surprise element.
"We've done a lot today, I am so tired…" Aquarina sighed.
"Me too!" Zephy complained. "Big sis can you carry me piggyback?"
"Sigh, fine~" I sighed, quickly carrying my little brother in piggyback style.
"Aww, I remember when you used to do this with me." Aquarina said with shiny eyes.
"Eh?! But aren't you two the same age?" Wondered Zephy.
"Yeah but Sylphy was always stronger than me back then, and she was also taller." Aquarina said with shiny eyes. "I remember those times rather tenderly. Though I guess you can't just piggyback me now…" She giggled.
"Well of course not, we're all grown up, hahaha." I laughed a bit. Those years went by so fast that I remember with more nostalgia than I would had ever expected.
