131: Special mission: Garbage falling from the sky
"Does that flatbread have such great appeal? Even the Chairwoman was drawn to it." People around discussed, their faces filled with confusion and amazement.
"That's ridiculous, that flatbread looks so ordinary." Someone questioned, trying to find a reasonable explanation for this unusual scene.
"No, look closely, the Chairwoman seems to know that man." Finally, someone noticed something out of the ordinary, their tone filled with sudden realization.
"So they know each other, no wonder. I was just thinking, why would the Chairwoman be interested in such an ordinary flatbread?" The discussions among the crowd gradually subsided, and everyone seemed to accept this explanation.
At the stall, Han Fei nodded faintly to Wang Qili in greeting, then continued making flatbreads.
His fingers danced nimbly among the dough, skillfully kneading and patting, and one by one, plump, round flatbread shapes gradually formed in his hands.
Han Fei's gaze was focused and deep, but his thoughts had quietly drifted away, transcending the clamor of reality, diving into the mysterious special task bar of the company.
After being promoted to K4 level, Han Fei gained unprecedented freedom, able to independently select those challenging and opportunistic special tasks hidden deep within the System.
His gaze swept over rows of bizarre task descriptions. Finally, a task named [Garbage from the Sky] captured his full attention.
[Task Name: Garbage from the Sky]
[Task Description: Designate an area, trigger a garbage rain, and within the specified time, after processing a certain amount of fallen garbage, you will receive a special reward. The more garbage processed, the more generous the reward.]
[Time Limit: 30 minutes]
[If the processed performance is less than 5 million, the rank will be reduced to K3]
[Process 5 million performance garbage, reward 100,000 treasure chest coins]
[Process 30 million performance garbage, reward Silver-tier Clean Vault treasure chest]
[Process...]
[Rewards are cumulative]
As Han Fei was contemplating whether to take on this task, Amauchi Chizuru suddenly said, "Boss, I want it spicy."
"Alright."
Han Fei refocused, concentrating on making the flatbread.
With the stove fire licking the bottom of the pan, he slowly poured a small spoonful of chili oil into it. The oil shimmered with tiny ripples under the heat, releasing an enticing sheen.
Next, he carefully picked up a small pinch of precious rock pepper. These pepper grains were deep red, embodying the toughness of mountain rock and nature's bounty.
The moment they leaped into the hot oil, accompanied by a soft "sizzle," it was as if every molecule in the air was activated, and a pungent, pure aroma instantly filled the air.
Han Fei quickly wielded his spatula, making the rock pepper dance and tumble in the oil, fully unleashing its wild, spicy fragrance.
Then, unhurriedly, he grabbed a handful of dried chili threads, carefully selected and perfectly sun-dried, crimson in color and crisp in texture.
As they slid into the pan, dancing with the rock pepper, it was as if a feast for the senses was ignited. The numbing and spicy aroma instantly became thick and irresistible, soaring to the sky, drawing glances from those around. Some even couldn't help but sniff, trying to capture more of this addictive scent.
Skydde Alice, facing this sudden spicy assault, couldn't help but cough lightly, a hint of surprise and curiosity flickering in her eyes.
As a world noble, her usual dishes were mostly bland, with little opportunity to experience such stimulating spiciness.
"So fragrant! So spicy!" Someone in the crowd shouted first, followed by a chorus of approving murmurs. The air was filled with anticipation and excitement.
Just as everyone was immersed in the irresistible aroma, Han Fei's hands didn't stop. He skillfully used tongs to pick up two freshly baked flatbreads. Their golden color was like the rising sun, the crust extra crispy from the high-temperature baking, while the inside was so soft it seemed to absorb all worries.
With a crisp "ding," the flatbreads were placed securely into special paper bags. Han Fei then handed these carefully crafted creations to Amauchi Chizuru and Skydde Alice.
"Please enjoy. I hope my culinary skills satisfy both of you." Han Fei smiled faintly, his smile full of confidence.
Since he mastered Magical Culinary Arts, no one had ever been dissatisfied with his cooking.
Amauchi Chizuru took the flatbread, its unique aroma almost irresistible. With a gentle bite, it was as if she embarked on a journey of taste.
First, the crispness of the crust shattered between her teeth, carrying a subtle burnt aroma. Then, the softness of the interior gently enveloped her tongue like a cloud, the fragrance of wheat overflowing, as if she could hear the wind in the wheat fields.
Finally, the carefully blended spices slowly released in her mouth, with a long-lasting aftertaste that left her wanting more.
Her eyes sparkled with amazement, and a satisfied smile graced her lips, as if saying, "This is not just a flatbread, but a feast for the senses."
Seeing this, Skydde Alice also eagerly tasted it.
With the first bite, her tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, as if all doubts and unfamiliarity were dissolved by this deliciousness.
A hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes first, followed by full surprise and admiration, as if she had discovered a new continent.
"This... this is simply too delicious! I never imagined that a seemingly simple flatbread could possess such rich layers and depth. Every bite is an ultimate indulgence for the taste buds."
Her words were filled with excitement; she was clearly deeply captivated by this unique deliciousness.
Wang Qili stood by, watching their expressions of enjoyment with interest. Her bright eyes sparkled with curiosity, "It seems I can't miss out on this delicacy either."
Saying this, she parted her red lips slightly and smiled at Han Fei, "Mr. Han, please make one for me too."
Han Fei smiled and agreed, skillfully preparing another flatbread.
When he handed the flatbread to Wang Qili, she gently took it and elegantly took a bite.
Immediately, an ineffable wonderful taste bloomed in her mouth. A hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes, "This flatbread... is indeed extraordinary. Mr. Han's craftsmanship is admirable."
At the same time, Han Fei's smile couldn't be stopped.
"To actually replicate this ability, what a surprise."

This Magic is especially important when fighting enemies skilled in mental attacks, effectively protecting the target from mental damage and control.
**Summon Medium Elemental**
The Summon Medium Elemental Spell can summon a medium elemental creature (such as a Fire Elemental, Water Elemental, Wind Elemental, or Earth Elemental) from the elemental plane to assist in combat.

The Chain Lightning Spell is particularly effective when facing groups of enemies, capable of dealing significant damage in a short time.

The Dimensional Anchor Spell can create a dimensional lock field in an area, rendering teleportation Magic ineffective within that area. The caster, through complex incantations and gestures, generates an invisible force field that covers the designated area. The Dimensional Anchor Spell lasts for about ten minutes, during which any attempt at teleportation Magic within that area will fail. The Dimensional Anchor Spell is particularly useful when fighting enemies skilled in teleportation or preventing enemies from escaping, effectively controlling the battle.
**Mass Invisibility**
The Mass Invisibility Spell can make the caster and multiple nearby targets invisible simultaneously. The caster needs to concentrate, recite a complex incantation, and spread their hands to cover all targets. The chosen targets will gradually become transparent, eventually becoming completely invisible. The effect of Mass Invisibility usually lasts for several minutes, suitable for tactical retreats or sneak attacks. The caster and companions can still move while invisible, but attacking or casting Spells will reveal them.

The Petrification Spell is a powerful control Spell that can temporarily turn a target into stone. The caster, by reciting an incantation and gazing at the target, releases a powerful magical energy that gradually stiffens the target, eventually turning them into a stone statue.

The shield lasts for about ten minutes, during which all attacks received by the target are significantly weakened. This Magic is particularly useful when facing strong enemies or being surrounded, providing valuable protection for the caster and companions.
