Chapter 62

The Power of the European Emperor: Terrifyingly Powerful

Upon seeing this name, Nan Xu's heart skipped a beat.

Don't let the funny name of this gummy bear fool you; in her previous life, she was the undisputed number one lucky player in the game "Cooking Souls".

That bottle of divine monkey wine of mine was also a chance encounter for the other person in my past life.

Therefore, Nanxu would naturally not underestimate her request for "her help in identifying" the ingredients.

Without the monkey wine this time, what will she bring out? Divine-grade ingredients are not like cabbages; even with her luck, she probably won't be able to get a second serving anytime soon.

Soon, Nanxu found out the answer to the question.

In the gummy bear's hand lies a piece of ingredient as white as jade and shaped like ginseng.

Nan Xu opened its information panel, and instantly, dazzling golden light radiated out!

【White Jade Ginseng】

[Rank: Super Rank 3]

Quality Score: 95

[Description: White Jade Ginseng is born from the essence of heaven and earth, mostly growing on high mountains or in deep valleys. Its taste is refreshing and slightly sweet, without any bitterness of other medicinal herbs. It has the miraculous effect of replenishing vital energy and prolonging life. It is said that consuming it can keep one awake for several days without rest, and also make one's complexion radiant.]

Upon seeing the name of this ingredient, Nan Xu was suddenly stunned, followed by an unexpected burst of joy!

Although this ingredient is only ranked third grade, which is lower than Monkey Wine, it is the most useful third-grade ingredient for him at present.

Even if eaten raw, it can give him almost inexhaustible stamina, energy, and true qi for a considerable period of time, allowing him to practice his cooking skills and gain proficiency without sleep or rest.

Adding this ingredient to the "Mountain Delicacies Soup" will further enhance its effects, even strengthening both the Feast of Life buff and the soup's own efficacy!

Although he had already drunk several pots of the Mountain Delicacies Soup and obtained several permanent attribute bonuses and some maximum health points from the sixth-grade dish, he should not be able to obtain any more permanent benefits from this dish.

However, after adding the White Jade Ginseng, the dish's grade will most likely break through to grade five, and the number of times the permanent buff can be obtained will naturally start to be calculated again.

Thinking of this, Nan Xu quickly wrote a task and sent it over:

[Ding! You have triggered the quest: "Nan Xu's Request". Accept?]

[Task Description: Nanxu desperately needs your ingredient, "White Jade Ginseng." If you are willing to give him this ingredient, he will reward you handsomely; you definitely won't lose out!]

[Task Rewards: 15000 Experience Points, a random gift from Nanxu (rare), and a large increase in Nanxu's favorability]

"Young lady, the ingredient you have is exactly what I need. I'm willing to exchange it for something precious. What do you say?" Nan Xu said politely.

"Wow, 15,000 experience points, and even some goodwill!"

Little Gummy Bear glanced at the mission reward and, without even hesitating, immediately stuffed the White Jade Ginseng into Nan Xu's hands.

"Nanxu, you can have it!" she waved her hand generously. "I don't need this ingredient anyway, so I'll just give it to you!"

She saw on the forum that Nan Xu is the most worthwhile protagonist to invest in in this game, and raising his favorability level will definitely not be a problem!

Besides, Nan Xu is the protagonist of this world. Would the protagonist let her suffer a loss? At this time, she definitely has to fiercely express her loyalty and suck up to him!

Anyway, this ingredient was destined to lose freshness in her hands. It had only been dug up for a short time, and its quality score had already dropped from 98 to 95. Rather than letting it go to waste, she might as well do Nanxu a favor and give it to him!

Thinking of this, the gummy bear suddenly seemed to remember something and added, "Ah, um... if it's convenient for you, could I try a bite of a dish made with this ingredient?"

"Just one bite! That's my only request!"

Nan Xu put the white jade ginseng into his food treasure bag, and he was overjoyed.

See that? That's the benefit of fame!

However, on the surface, he still acted as if he absolutely couldn't accept it, shaking his head and saying, "How can that be? This ingredient is a grade three ingredient, extremely precious. How can I take advantage of you for nothing?"

After a moment's hesitation, Nan Xu said, "How about this... Since you've given me such a generous gift, then we can be considered friends."

"Friends should help each other. I see that you are unsteady on your feet, so I suppose you don't know any martial arts. I will teach you this sixth-grade internal skill, the Mind-Intent Qi-Primordial Skill. If you practice it diligently, it can also strengthen your body and prolong your life."

[Ding! Nan Xu has offered to teach you the sixth-grade internal skill, "Mind-Intent Qi Hunyuan Gong." Would you like to spend 4000 experience points to learn it?]

Then, Nan Xu said, "To gather ingredients, you must trek through the mountains and forests. The mountains are high, the roads are long, and the terrain is rugged and difficult. You should memorize this fifth-rank lightness skill, 'Immortal Footsteps'..."

[Ding! Nan Xu has offered to teach you the fifth-grade lightness skill, "Immortal Steps." Would you like to spend 6000 experience points to learn it?]

Then, Nan Xu took out a few silver ingots: "When you travel the world, you will inevitably have many expenses. Please keep this hundred taels of silver safe..."

[Ding! Nan Xu has gifted you 100 taels of silver!]

Finally, he added, "As for letting you taste the dishes, that's only right. If there's anything else you'd like to eat, you can tell me, and I'll consider it..."

This series of system notifications almost made the gummy bear so happy it made her faint!

After a long while, she finally calmed down and said excitedly, "Th...thank you so much, Boss Nanxu!"

Nan Xu smiled slightly: "No need for such formalities, just call me by my name."

The surrounding players, witnessing this scene, were even more envious than before.

He gained sixth-grade internal energy, fifth-grade lightness skill, and most importantly, a lot of goodwill from Nan Xu. He can even order food from Nan Xu!

The power of these three ingredients is terrifying!

Moreover, this gummy bear was able to find a third-grade ingredient just a few days into the closed beta test. Isn't that incredibly lucky?

Seeing this, Nan Xu's lips curved upwards even further.

Yes, he did it on purpose.

If players see that the first gummy bear to give him ingredients has earned such a high return, will they still have to worry about no one vying to give him ingredients?

Moreover, he had also stolen her monkey wine, so giving her extra things now was a way of compensating her for taking away his opportunity.

Moreover, cultivating a good relationship with a lucky guy like Gummy Bear has significant benefits in itself.

Meanwhile, the gummy bear, overwhelmed with surprise, finally remembered something else she was supposed to do: "Um... Brother Nanxu, can I learn some cooking skills from you? I have other ingredients!"

Nan Xu glanced at the several portions of sixth and fifth grade ingredients in her hand and his lips twitched.

Knowing the locations of the food resource points, he has only managed to collect thirty or forty portions of five or six kinds of food over the past few days.

I picked up several gummy bears while just browsing around.

It can only be said that sometimes, those with incredible luck are just that unreasonable.

However, at this time, he did not have any higher-level cooking skills available for players to learn, and most players did not meet the requirements for learning higher-level cooking skills.

So Nan Xu simply waved his hand and said, "No problem, you can learn these cooking skills as you like, I won't charge you for your ingredients!"
