103: Deliciousness Enhanced

When Han Fei made the chicken cutlet, he naturally didn't forget to use Magical Culinary Arts on it.

His magic cake was now very abundant, and the magical disguise he used allowed him to freely apply magic to food.

Of course, the main magical effect he applied was Deliciousness Exchange, used to replicate others' abilities.

As for Gourmet Captive, Han Fei only applied a very weak effect.

He always believed that affection should not be built on such means, but rather on people willingly indulging.

Therefore, those who enjoyed his cooking would only be left with a faint smile, developing a subtle, inexplicable fondness for Han Fei, rather than falling into blind and fervent emotions like Black Tiger.

Previously, although Han Fei had replicated many abilities through chicken cutlets, most of them were related to cooking.

Unfortunately, with Han Fei's current cooking level, apart from Long Feihe's cooking skills which helped him fill in gaps, other people's culinary abilities were of almost no help to him.

As for abilities outside of cooking, such as swimming, table tennis, badminton skills, and so on.

Although these skills seemed trivial and not very helpful, they inadvertently enriched his life experience and added a touch of fun.

Just as Han Fei was feeling a little discouraged, thinking that today would only bring ordinary gains, Cen Fei's appearance was like a ray of light, giving him a great surprise.

Her superpower instantly made Han Fei's eyes light up, as if he had discovered a whole new world.

Taste Sublimation, an ability that promotes self-evolution by tasting ultimate delicacies.

With this ability, food is no longer just a simple existence that satisfies cravings; it can become a key to becoming stronger.

From now on, an intensely spicy chicken cutlet not only stimulates the taste buds but may also awaken the hidden power of fire within the body.

And a bite of an intensely cold dessert might enable one to master the ability to freeze all things.

The more delicious the food, the stronger the degree of self-evolution, and it is even possible to Breakthrough to the B-level Domain through this.

This superpower was perfectly suited for Han Fei.

His Magical Culinary Arts could make any food he prepared incredibly delicious.

As long as it's considered delicious, Taste Sublimation can take effect, promoting self-evolution.

Thinking happily, Han Fei deftly picked up a sharp small knife and delicately cut a piece of chicken cutlet.

He put the cut chicken cutlet into his mouth.

The next moment, his taste buds seemed to be instantly awakened; what danced on his tongue was not only the inherent deliciousness of the chicken itself but also the unique, irresistible, astonishing deliciousness bestowed by Han Fei's magic.

At the same time, Han Fei could clearly perceive that, with this pleasure spreading from his tongue to his whole body, his physical quality was subtly improving.

"With my current physical strength, this bit of deliciousness offers very little improvement for me."

Han Fei's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Immediately, he decided to make a more complex and more delicious fried chicken cutlet.

Although his Forbidden Magic could make food more delicious, the degree of improvement was highly correlated with the food's inherent quality.

The more high-grade and delicious the food, the more intense the deliciousness effect that Forbidden Magic could bestow.

The fried chicken cutlet Han Fei was currently making was a very ordinary type, which most students at the Gourmet Academy could prepare well.

Even if such a chicken cutlet was made perfectly, the deliciousness effect applied by Forbidden Magic would be extremely limited, so Han Fei had to switch to another dish.

At this moment, Cen Fei, with a few of her followers, squeezed through the crowd.

She was about to say something to Han Fei but saw him intensely focused on making the chicken cutlet, as if the entire world had frozen between him and that piece of chicken cutlet.

That extreme devotion made Cen Fei involuntarily hold back her words, choosing to wait silently by the side so as not to disturb Han Fei.

The new chicken cutlet Han Fei was preparing was called 'Fire Fusion Chicken Cutlet Rice'.

It is a One-Star advanced dish that perfectly combines chicken cutlet with glutinous rice.

He skillfully washed the selected chicken meat, then, with an artist's carving attitude, cut it into uniform, paper-thin slices.

Next, he evenly applied his specially prepared marinade to each slice of chicken, ensuring that every inch of muscle was fully immersed in the rich and complex aroma, as if undergoing a preheating ritual for the taste buds.

The marinated chicken, after being skillfully coated by Han Fei, was first lightly dusted with a fine layer of flour, then gently dipped into golden egg wash, and finally coated with a crispy layer of breadcrumbs, forming a perfect protective shell.

As the oil in the pan gradually heated, Han Fei's gaze focused on the almost boiling oil surface, his movements steady and powerful, as he gently dropped the prepared chicken slices in.

In an instant, the oil and meat intertwined to create a delightful "sizzle," like nature's most beautiful symphony; the chicken slices danced in the hot oil, gradually acquiring a golden, brilliant coating, making them mouth-watering.

Afterward, Han Fei treated the rice with equal meticulousness.

He carefully spread out the distinct, plump, and translucent grains of rice in exquisite tableware, covering them with a layer of incredibly fresh, vibrant green vegetables, adding vitality and freshness to the dish.

Finally, the perfectly fried chicken cutlet, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, was placed on top of the rice, like a jewel on a crown.

Han Fei's personally concocted sauce, with its subtle sweet, spicy, and slightly sour notes, cascaded like silk over the chicken cutlet and rice, adding the finishing touch to the entire dish.

When this bowl, a dual feast for both sight and smell, the "Fire Fusion Chicken Cutlet Rice," was presented before everyone, the surrounding clamor seemed to instantly freeze.

The aroma wafting through the air made even distant passersby involuntarily stop in their tracks.

Even Cen Fei, who always had extremely high standards for food, showed an expression of incredible surprise, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and excitement.

After Han Fei's Forbidden Magic was strengthened, it not only made food more delicious but also made its aroma more enticing.

At this moment, Han Fei seemed to be in a paradise, completely oblivious to the irrepressible longing of the surrounding crowd.

He gently picked up a piece of chicken cutlet, put it into his mouth, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the taste feast that instantly exploded.

The aroma of the chicken cutlet rice seemed to transform into a melodious tune, slowly flowing within Han Fei's mouth; the unique seasoning perfectly fused with the tender chicken, and every grain of rice carried an irresistible rich flavor, like a meticulously choreographed dance, gracefully moving on his tongue.

This ultimate deliciousness seemed to touch the deepest joy within him, making Han Fei forget everything around him, leaving only this pure, Soul-reaching sense of satisfaction.

Just at this moment, a subtle change quietly occurred within Han Fei's body.

It was like a butterfly fluttering its wings in the tranquil night sky, bringing an unpredictable storm.

He felt his body being gently enveloped by an invisible membrane, undergoing earth-shattering transformations within.

Han Fei suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with shock and disbelief, as if he had just witnessed the most incredible spectacle in the world.

"How is this possible?!" he exclaimed silently in his heart.

Taste Sublimation had, unexpectedly, produced a wonderful resonance with Magical Culinary Arts!

The two intertwined and merged, as if two trickles converged into a mighty, surging river, unleashing unprecedented power.

"Is it because both are related to food?"

Han Fei's brows furrowed in deep thought.

The Forbidden Magic, combined with Taste Sublimation, granted Han Fei an unprecedented effect.

Whenever he used "Deliciousness Exchange" to replicate others' abilities, it was no longer just a simple copy-paste; instead, there was a certain probability that the replicated ability would undergo a qualitative leap.

If he replicated the culinary skills of a One-Star Gourmet Hunter, then this replication might elevate that ability to the Realm of a Two-Star Gourmet Hunter.

The difference between them was like a mountain stream compared to a vast river, incomparable.

This was of considerable help to Han Fei!

One must know that many people in high positions would not easily taste others' food.

For Han Fei to replicate their abilities through Deliciousness Exchange was almost as difficult as ascending to heaven.

But now, with this Sublimation ability, he seemed to possess a master key, capable of opening the door to higher-level abilities.

Rare abilities such as the culinary skills of a Two-Star Gourmet Hunter could potentially become his, adding endless assistance to his future journey.

While Han Fei was in shock, Wang Ye, who was closest to him, finally couldn't suppress the craving in his heart, his voice tinged with an undisguised urgency, carefully asking, "B-boss, do you sell your chicken cutlet rice?"

Han Fei was pulled back to reality by the sudden question, a faint smile inadvertently gracing his lips, and he casually replied, "Yes."

"How much is one serving?" Wang Ye almost enunciated each word as he pressed on, afraid of missing any important information, his body unconsciously leaning forward, revealing his full anticipation.

The surrounding Gourmet Academy students also cast eager glances, all perking up their ears.

Their stomachs had already been completely conquered by the fried chicken cutlet Han Fei had made earlier; that wonderful experience of crispiness intertwined with tenderness still lingered on their tongues.

Although their stomachs were somewhat satisfied, the clearly more delicious chicken cutlet rice was still an irresistible temptation to them.

"Ten thousand for one serving." Han Fei casually quoted a price that seemed somewhat incredible.

This chicken cutlet rice was much more troublesome to make than fried chicken cutlets; he didn't want to sell it too cheaply, lest too many people buy it.

However, facing this exorbitant figure, Wang Ye didn't hesitate at all, and without thinking, he loudly declared, "I'll take two servings!"

Before he even finished speaking, he had already quickly scanned the code and completed the payment, his swift movements revealing his certainty and delight in this decision.

Immediately after, Wang Ye turned around, flashed a smile at Cen Fei who was standing not far away, and softly said, "Young Miss, don't be polite, I've paid for your portion too."

Cen Fei nodded, her face slightly red.

This was her first time eating street food since she was born.

At the same time, Long Feihe, who had originally left, quietly returned to Han Fei's stall, his eyes flickering with curiosity and anticipation.

He carefully observed Han Fei's every move, from the selection of ingredients to the meticulous cooking process, all of which gave him a sense of déjà vu.

This made him wonder where this inexplicable familiarity and closeness came from, almost as if it were a reflection of his own deep-seated pursuit of culinary excellence.

When Han Fei served two steaming hot bowls of "Fire Fusion Chicken Cutlet Rice," the aroma in the air became even richer, attracting everyone's gaze like some kind of magic.

Wang Ye almost 'snatched' one of the plates, his hands trembling slightly, his eyes gleaming with impatience.

He carefully picked up a golden, glistening piece of chicken cutlet with his chopsticks, gently placed it into his mouth, and closed his eyes, as if performing a sacred ritual.

At that moment, an indescribable shock spread from his tongue to his entire body.

It felt like a subtle yet strong electric current, accurately hitting every one of his taste buds, activating them instantly and making them burst with unprecedented vitality.

Wang Ye's face showed an expression of disbelief, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Oh my goodness!"

"This... this is simply the ultimate taste on earth!"

And by the side, Cen Fei, despite her best efforts to maintain a calm expression, still had an irrepressible curiosity and longing subtly visible in her eyes.

She gracefully picked up the silver chopsticks, carefully selecting a tempting, fragrant piece of chicken cutlet, paired with translucent rice.

Then, she gently parted her lips and delicately placed the chicken cutlet into her mouth.

In that instant, a complex yet harmonious and wonderful taste danced on her tongue, like a magnificent feast.

This taste was so intoxicating that she couldn't extricate herself.

Its outer layer was so crispy that one could almost hear the clear sound of teeth colliding with it; yet, when you bit down, you would be pleasantly surprised to find the meat inside incredibly tender and smooth, as if you could feel the fresh juices inherent in the meat gently bursting in your mouth, bringing an unparalleled textural enjoyment.

The clever combination of seasonings was both layered and delicate, like a symphony of flavors, where each taste spoke at just the right moment, immersing her every sense in an unparalleled enjoyment.

This wonderful taste, like a clear spring flowing over her taste buds, transported her into a tranquil and peaceful gourmet fairyland, far from the hustle and bustle of the world.

In this fairyland, there was no worldly clamor or disturbance, only endless deliciousness and pure joy and satisfaction.

She wandered through it, fully enjoying the pleasure brought by this taste feast. All worldly worries and pressures vanished at this moment, turning into nothingness.

"Why is it so delicious? He only has a One-Star level..." Cen Fei murmured softly, her eyes sparkling with undisguised amazement.
