Level Max Villainous Second Female Lead, Just Wants to Slack Off CHAPTER 27
Chapter 27: Slacking Off Day 27
“I refuse,” Wen Ying’s refusal was crisp and without hesitation.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t, but that she didn’t want to.
She only wanted to unlock new plotlines and characters, not new professions.
Besides, Chef Wang had been cooking for over twenty years, if not thirty. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Yet he’d managed to make food that was utterly awful; such negative talent, the difficulty of teaching him was imaginable.
Wang Gou Dan remained bent over, raising his head slightly, his eyes full of eager longing. “Master, please teach me! I can…give you everything!”
Wen Ying’s lips twitched.
Wang Gou Dan’s words made it sound like she was some kind of evil god…
But if there was compensation, Wen Ying was interested in hearing it.
Wen Ying asked, “What can you offer?”
Hearing Wen Ying relent, hope instantly flashed in Wang Gou Dan’s eyes!
“I can give you half the opportunities to cook for the Xunxian Sect disciples! No, seventy percent! Or even ninety percent!”
“Oh, forget it then.” Wen Ying waved her hand and turned to leave.
Was she crazy? To increase her workload?
It seemed the Master’s cultivation had reached its peak, and she no longer cared about such minor improvements.
“No, no, no, Master, don’t go!” Wang Gou Dan quickly straightened up, adopting an exaggerated gesture, shouting, “Or, I can give you all the compensation the Xunxian Sect gives me!…Fifty high-grade spirit stones a month!”
Wen Ying didn’t turn around, waving her hand again, continuing to walk out.
High-grade spirit stones, ah. The last time she was interested in counting them, it was six or eight thousand, all stored in sacks gathering dust on her cabinet. To give her more would mean she’d have to make another sack – too much trouble.
The Master didn’t even covet wealth…what to do!
“Master!” Seeing the Master’s foot already out the door, Wang Gou Dan racked his brains, blurting out in desperation, “I can give you this kitchen and everything in it! Spices, vegetables! My cooking skills may be terrible, but my vegetable selection skills are well-known! Fruits too!”
After saying this, Wang Gou Dan regretted it.
A mere kitchen, mere vegetable picking, how could a Culinary Cultivation master possibly care about such things!
It was all his fault, he said so many things in a moment of desperation…
“Oh?” Unexpectedly, Wen Ying stopped with interest, turning back. “Any vegetables are available?”
“Yes, yes! Anything!” Wang Gou Dan nodded like a pestle. “From all over the world, as long as it exists, I guarantee I can provide the freshest and highest quality to Master the next day!”
This condition offered by Wang Gou Dan did make Wen Ying a bit tempted.
Indeed, Wang Gou Dan wasn’t lying. Although his dishes tasted incredibly bad, Wen Ying could tell the ingredients themselves were fresh and high-quality.
Thinking about it, Wen Ying felt sorry for those vegetables…
Because Wen Ying didn’t have them.
She couldn’t pick vegetables at all, relying entirely on the system. But these days, it only provided one type of vegetable or fruit each day – chili peppers today, scallions tomorrow, one day it was even durian. In the long run, she couldn’t stew durian with scallions, could she?
Although the system said it was a bug and would be fixed soon, but…
Based on the system’s patchy track record, Wen Ying believed it could fix the bug and add a brand new bug.
If there was a more reliable channel, Wen Ying was naturally happy.
After pondering for a moment, Wen Ying finally nodded. “Fine, as long as you can provide those, I agree to be your master and teach you to cook.”
“Really?!” Wang Gou Dan was overjoyed, bowing repeatedly to Wen Ying. “Thank you, Master! Thank you so much, Master! Master, you are so kind!”
Wang Gou Dan knew that the Master would definitely not have agreed to take him as a disciple because of the vegetables.
The Master must be indifferent to fame and fortune, unconcerned with wealth, that’s why she disregarded the first two conditions. Only the third condition, so simple and ordinary, finally touched the Master’s heart!
From now on, he would definitely reform, never use underhanded methods to improve his cultivation, but instead concentrate on his studies, improve his cooking skills, and cultivate diligently!
“…No, I just want the vegetables.” Wen Ying said rather speechlessly.
“Yes, yes, I understand, Master!” Wang Gou Dan blinked his eyes, which were almost half his face.
The Master must not want to make a fuss, so she used this as an excuse.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been in Xunxian Sect for almost ten years without hearing of the Master’s reputation. He would uphold the Master’s will and absolutely not tell anyone about this!
Fine.
Wen Ying didn’t bother to explain. Letting him think that way, avoiding trouble for others, was also good.
But…
Before that, there was something she absolutely had to say.
“Although I agree to teach you, I can’t guarantee that I can teach you,” Wen Ying warned in advance.
There’s a saying, there are no students who can’t be taught, only teachers who can’t teach.
But being a teacher was something Wen Ying had never done before.
Besides…
Wen Ying felt that some things required talent.
“Master agreeing to accept me as a disciple is already my greatest honor! I understand that the Master leads the way, but cultivation depends on the individual!” Wang Gou Dan was still overjoyed, not discouraged at all by Wen Ying’s words.
“When should I start teaching you? How should I teach you?” Wen Ying asked.
Since she had accepted the benefits and agreed to take on a disciple, she couldn’t be fake about it.
“If Master is free…tomorrow morning, would that work?” Wang Gou Dan clasped his hands in front of him, appearing somewhat flustered and nervous. He tentatively suggested, “Master also knows, my cooking skills…without spells, I’m afraid the disciples won’t be able to eat it either. If, if possible, Master, could you come to guide me during the two meals each day?”
The Xunxian Sect rules dictated only two meals a day, breakfast and lunch.
“Okay.” Wen Ying agreed.
She wasn’t doing it for the disciples; she was doing it purely for herself.
Besides food, the kitchen equipment here was clearly more complete. This reincarnation had just begun, and Lin Yu’s kitchen wasn’t well-equipped yet. If she had this convenience, she wouldn’t have to buy anything.
During the teaching, she could also make herself a meal.
…
After taking Wang Gou Dan as her disciple, Wen Ying left the kitchen, with Wang Gou Dan bowing and scraping to see her off.
She planned to find the previous disciple.
The disciple bought second-hand food because the intelligence-reducing technique was good, but the phrase “poisoning is commonplace” probably wasn’t entirely due to the intelligence-reducing technique.
However…
Speaking of that “poison,” Wen Ying did remember something.
Now that Xu Tongtong and Fu Shuangxue had left, why hadn’t that broken system popped up a panel yet?
Wen Ying didn’t miss the panel, but she was afraid of worse bugs.
【System?】
Wen Ying called out, but there was no response for a long time.
【System system system?!】
Wen Ying called out three times again, and finally there was a response.
【Ababa ababa ababa…】
Hearing this sound, Wen Ying could already imagine a drooling, tilting-headed, dazed system with its mouth opening and closing.
It sounded like its intelligence had completely disappeared.
Could it be…the system had also been affected by the intelligence-reducing technique?
Wen Ying thought for a moment, suddenly understanding the connection.
So that’s how it was.
Regarding the intelligence-reducing technique, there was probably another rule.
Someone like Xu Tongtong, whose own intelligence was lower than the value reduced by the intelligence-reducing technique, wouldn’t be affected – intelligence couldn’t be reduced to negative numbers!
And the system’s intelligence was just slightly higher than Xu Tongtong’s; the intelligence-reducing technique was cast, hey!
It became zero!
But how did the system get its intelligence reduced? Unless…it also smelled the aroma of the food…?
