Reborn in Japan as a Chef God

Chapter 500: Chapter 499: Food Justice and Food Dominator (Part 2)

“The difference between the King’s Road and the Dominator’s Path!”

Xia Yu was listening intently, and Jintan Shun chuckled as he said, “Since you’re already a top-notch special chef, you must have heard of ‘Shiyi’ and ‘Shiba,’ right?”

Xia Yu nodded.

“These words shouldn’t be imagined too complicatedly. The most straightforward manifestation of Shiyi is the ability to hear the voice of everything, listen to the sound of ingredients, and communicate with them.”

Jintan Shun struck the stance of a master, and said seriously,

“Well, if the ingredients don’t obey, there’s nothing to be done except to use the ‘Chef’s Heart’ mark to suppress them. However, this demands a high requirement on ‘Chef’s Heart.’ Generally speaking, only Lin Chefs can do this, so in the Lin Chef’s advancement assessment, mastering forbidden ingredients is the basic requirement. If you successfully master a forbidden ingredient, it means you’ve taken a small step towards Lin level.”

“Just a small step?” Xia Yu frowned.

“What do you think?”

Jintan Shun laughed.

“Mastering doesn’t mean you can use it, and being able to use it doesn’t mean you can use it well, do you know the difference?”

“To sum up, on the road to becoming a King’s Road Lin Chef, ‘Shiyi’ and mastering forbidden ingredients are just two small hurdles. Once you pass them, the road ahead is still long.”

“Shiyi…” Xia Yu mused, “The purple-framed [Chef’s Heart] lets me grasp a part of Shiyi, but Shiyi isn’t perfect. It seems I’ll have to accumulate Talent Points again to quickly enhance [Chef’s Heart], right?”

But the transformation from a purple frame to a gold frame for [Chef’s Heart] is like a bottomless pit; it requires as many as a hundred Talent Points!

How long would it take to save up that much?

Xia Yu rubbed the acupoints on his forehead. The reason he was eager to improve the ‘Golden Egg Fried Rice’ recipe was precisely to develop a new trump card for the legendary cooking ware championship in Sapporo.
