Chapter 133: The Powerful Effects of [Tianhe Exclusive]!! (4k)

"Sister Xinyue, how is it?"

Yang Xinyue looked in shock at the large table of dishes.

Facts proved that even if Eding's skills didn't include ordinary home-cooked dishes like pulled-thread sweet potatoes, braised carp, braised beef with potatoes, or sweet and sour spare ribs, his cooking of these dishes was completely a dimensional reduction strike.

Especially that dish of "Braised Beef with Potatoes"; when Sun Po picked up a chopstick of it, aside from the dish's inherent rich aroma, tenderness, and softness, Sun Po unexpectedly tasted a hint of fresh sweetness.

The other dishes also had their own unique characteristics, far exceeding the standards of those restaurants on the market.

This caused Yang Xinyue, who had been eating pre-made meals for a long time due to a busy schedule, to take a bite and feel like her mind was almost soaring into the skies and diving into the seas, with celestial maidens dancing inside.

Sun Po was much the same; this dish of "Braised Beef with Potatoes" was especially delicious and unique, and he even felt the spirituality within his body churn slightly, seeming a bit more agile when mobilized.

"Could ordinary food also have a chance to turn into a spirit meal because of Eding's traits?"

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Yang Xinyue looked lingeringly at the messy dining table and asked Sun Po:

"You're saying that the one who cooks so deliciously is your new card?"

Sun Po said: "Yes."

As he spoke, he handed Eding's card to Yang Xinyue, and Yang Xinyue looked at its card information.

After a moment, Yang Xinyue handed Eding back to Sun Po and said: "Sun Po, you are already holding a hen that lays golden eggs in your hands."

Sun Po asked: "How so, Sister Xinyue?"

Yang Xinyue said: "This card clearly specializes in making spirit meals. Although its combat ability is somewhat abnormally strong, nowadays on the market, besides those specializing in making spirit meals, there are also those specializing in making armor and clothing, forging and strengthening weapons, planting herbs, refining pills, taming monsters, and so on. You will come into contact with all of these in university. We collectively refer to these types of cards as Logistics-type Cards. Once you enter university, you will know how rare such Logistics-type Cards are, and how expensive their service fees or products are."

Sun Po's thoughts instantly cleared up, and he asked: "Sister Xinyue, are you saying that these spirit meals are very valuable?"

Yang Xinyue smiled and said: "I don't know what level of spirit meal these shadow beef slices are, but the price of a general spirit meal ranges from two to five times that of materials of the same tier. Even the lowest-grade gray spirit meals can easily sell for over a square in unit price."

On one hand, Sun Po marveled at the huge economic value of Logistics-type Cards; on the other hand, he was full of expectations for the two spirit meals that Eding was skilled in.

Eding's appearance greatly improved the meal standards for Sun Po and Yang Xinyue over the next few days, but he didn't constantly make Eding cook for him either; after all, Eding's main job was producing spirit meals.

According to Yang Xinyue, spirit meals were actually very difficult to sell in a remote and backward city dominated by ordinary people like Gaoping City. After all, to ordinary people without spiritual space, spirit meals were just a kind of food that tasted more palatable and novel.

Without the support of a sufficient number of Card Makers, the value of any Logistics-type Card would be greatly discounted.

However, Sun Po didn't plan to sell them in a large scale right now anyway. He prepared to at least first try the easier-to-make shadow beef slices and taste them himself.

Before that, Sun Po prepared to go to the material market of Gaoping City to collect enough meat materials.

Meat materials were not uncommon in the market; monsters in many secret realms would drop parts like beast meat and poultry.

The most produced meat material in the secret realms of Gaoping City was a kind called Exploding Horn Beef, which was produced by a monster named Exploding Horned Cattle.

Exploding Horned Cattle were ordinary white-quality monsters with a violent temperament, extremely strong aggressiveness, and lived in groups.

Their body shape was no different from normal cattle, but on their heads grew a pair of curved and heavy horns.

When this pair of horns hit an enemy, the tips of the horns would also explode, achieving the effect of detonating inside the enemy's body.

This could be considered a low-tier but extremely difficult monster to deal with, especially when dense herds of cattle rushed toward you with exploding horns; that momentum was truly something else.

The two materials most commonly dropped from this monster were one being Exploding Horn Beef, which was only a gray-quality material with no matching card-making sequence, and the other being Large Exploding Horn, whose quality reached green and had a matching card-making sequence.

Therefore, the price of Exploding Horn Beef was about a little over a thousand per portion, which was very cheap, whereas a portion of the much harder-to-drop Large Exploding Horn material sold for seventy to eighty thousand yuan.

Today, however, the card-making material market of Gaoping City had an extra eccentric person who specifically picked Exploding Horn Beef to buy, while not even casting a glance at the popular Large Exploding Horn. Naturally, this person was Sun Po.

To prevent being recognized by fans like last time, he deliberately wore sunglasses and a hat.

He swept up all the Exploding Horn Beef at extreme speed and packed them into the material cross-body bag given by Li Tiance.

Besides Exploding Horn Beef, he also swept up a small amount of other meats, including snake meat, fish meat, and wolf meat. At the same time, Sun Po did not forget to prepare materials for the Herb Spirit Pouch; he purchased all plant-type materials in the entire card-making material market, but only managed to buy four kinds, which was still a long way from the requirement of one hundred kinds.

After finishing the purchase, Sun Po casually put away Huang Chao, who had been eating Huchang all day, and returned to Yang Xinyue's home.

As soon as he got home, he immersed his mind into the Tianhe Water Mansion Kitchen within Tianhe Budu, only to see Eding stir-frying a pot of cyan-black pellet-like things, with two golden pellets placed beside the wok.

Sun Po recognized these things; they were the Soul-Replenishing Pills previously produced by the military cauldron of Tianhe Budu. This stuff was said to be able to replenish spirituality, but Sun Po's spiritual consumption had always been very low, which resulted in him basically never lacking spirituality, so these Soul-Replenishing Pills hadn't been of much use.

Until Tianhe Budu advanced in rank, the military cauldron entered the Tianhe Water Mansion Kitchen,

while those military tents, military drums, wooden boats, and others entered the quartermaster department. The military tent's ability to produce Yin Soldiers and the previous Ghost Water River's ability to produce Water Ghosts were both merged into the troop-training department, turning to produce soul bodies, which were then converted into Tianhe Naval Forces through the Tianhe Naval Forces Training Department.

There was no help for it; compared to the Tianhe Naval Forces, the previous Yin Soldiers not only had lower combat power, but their potential and intelligence were also far inferior. Therefore, following an elite troop route after Tianhe Budu advanced was imperative.

As for the military cauldron's function of producing Soul-Replenishing Pills, it was classified into the kitchen. It was just that previously there was no one presiding over the kitchen, causing these Soul-Replenishing Pills to simply be produced and piled up inside the kitchen.

At this moment, seeing Sun Po, Eding waved his spatula while saying:

"Master, I still don't quite understand the production process of these Soul-Replenishing Pills. According to Lord Wuzhiqi, the raw material of these Soul-Replenishing Pills is a wisp of disaster Qi, which can be converted into a replenishment for spirituality. However, only after being converted into Tianhe Exclusive can it further have a replenishing effect on Divine Power."

"Once this pot is done, all Soul-Replenishing Pills will be completely converted into Tianhe Exclusive."

Sun Po nodded, then suddenly reacted and asked: "You mean this thing has a replenishing effect on Divine Power?"

Eding nodded. At this time, Wuzhiqi walked in holding a military cauldron and said:

"That's right, Master. Previously, this military cauldron used a small amount of disaster Qi to condense Soul-Replenishing Pills, and its function was to replenish spirituality. Its essence was also a conversion of energy from high to low. After being reprocessed by the head chef Eding, these Soul-Replenishing Pills possessing the Tianhe Exclusive prefix actually no longer replenish spirituality, but instead replenish Divine Power."

"I think this should be related to the troop composition of Tianhe Budu. Ever since Tianhe Budu advanced, the troops produced have only been Tianhe Naval Forces, and Tianhe Naval Forces are deity cards. Naturally, the Soul-Replenishing Pills correspondingly produced by Tianhe Budu have also become functions of replenishing Divine Power. It's just that it seemed to take a hundred previous Soul-Replenishing Pills to convert into one Tianhe Exclusive Soul-Replenishing Pill, and right now only four can be made."

Sun Po asked: "Have you tried this thing?"

Wuzhiqi picked one up and said: "I ate one earlier; this one can equal three-tenths of my divine power."

Sun Po was startled inwardly. He had heard Wuzhiqi say that ancient deities inherently had more formidable divine power than ordinary deities. Wuzhiqi's three-tenths probably equaled five-tenths of the divine power of a Deity of the same tier. In high-end battles involving deity cards, having a bit more divine power meant an extra share of winning chances. For skills with massive power and huge Divine Power consumption like Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, maintaining them for even one more second during combat could change the battle situation. If he happened to grip a few of these golden pellets in his hand at that time, it would be almost equivalent to having an extra life.

Not to mention anything else, both Wuzhiqi and Huang Chao used Divine Power, so these golden little pills could produce direct help to both of them.

Sun Po didn't know if there were any spirit meals on the current market that replenished Divine Power, but he felt that high-end goods like this shouldn't be too numerous, and their value must be much higher than ordinary spirit meals.

What caught Sun Po's attention even more was the Tianhe Water Mansion Kitchen:

"If other spirit meals can also have such an effect in this kitchen with Tianhe Exclusive...?"

The more he thought about it, the more his heart pounded with excitement. After Eding finished processing all the Soul-Replenishing Pills, Sun Po took out all the meat materials, piled them in the kitchen, and said to Eding:

"I haven't witnessed your shadow beef slices yet, Eding. I specially bought these meat materials and hope you can make them so I can see."

Eding replied: "Eding will make a best portion of shadow beef slices right away."

With that, Eding's Eighteen Blades flew simultaneously, cold flashes glimmering, and the massive Exploding Horn Beef was instantly carved into slices as thin as cicada wings with clear textures.

While Eding was cooking, Sun Po also picked up the golden pellet to observe it. Unlike the previous cyan-black Soul-Replenishing Pills with a sticky and greasy surface texture,

the surface of this golden Tianhe Exclusive Soul-Replenishing Pill was as smooth as metal, and the entire pellet faintly reflected a golden radiance, looking less like food and more like a glittering golden pearl.

Suddenly, the system sound rang out:

"Tianhe Water Mansion Kitchen has unlocked a new dish. Please check it."

In the short time Sun Po pondered, the shadow beef slices made from Exploding Horn Beef had already come out of the wok.

The aroma was pungent, crystal red, bright, and crispy. The entire plate of meat slices looked like a dish of vibrant red light, completely unlike something from the mortal world.

Sun Po forced back his saliva and first opened the panel of Tianhe Budu to check the attributes of the new dishes:

Dish Name: [Tianhe Exclusive Soul-Replenishing Pill]

Quality: [Orange 7-Star]

Description: [A pellet condensed using disaster Qi as raw material. The taste is cool and sweet, and it can effectively replenish divine power after consumption.]

Dish Name: [tianhe exclusive shadow beef slices] ([Exploding Horn Beef])

Quality: [Purple 1-Star]

Description: [A delicacy made from Exploding Horn Beef as raw material. The taste is spicy and explosive. After consumption, it can add an explosive effect to divine power attributes, lasting for 1 minute.]

Sun Po had thought this kitchen might be strong, but he never expected its function to be so overpowered:

"After adding this Tianhe Exclusive, spirit meals actually truly all take effect targeting Divine Power!"

Even if Sun Po didn't know much about the spirit meals on the market at this moment, he understood that his kitchen was probably a priceless treasure.

No wonder back then Tianhe Water Mansion, which integrated numerous functions, could already possess orange quality even when battered to that extent.

This also made Sun Po even more looking forward to the remaining other functions.

But this was not without a price. Wuzhiqi said:

"Master, every conversion by this kitchen consumes an enormous amount. The conversion of just this plate of shadow beef slices consumed the equivalent of over half a month's worth of disaster Qi generated by Tianhe Budu."

"Right now, we are flush with disaster Qi so it's manageable, but once the disaster Qi is insufficient, I'm afraid it will be hard to sustain this terrifying expense."

Sun Po was also severely shocked by this terrifying expenditure. He remembered that the conversion of Tianhe Exclusive required spending disaster Qi, but he didn't expect it to require this much. You must know that wearing Sun Po's Black Rhino Armor for half a month couldn't even consume the disaster Qi generated by Tianhe Budu in a single day.

Yet this tiny plate of meat slices consumed such a huge amount. Moreover, all the Exploding Horn Beef added up to over a hundred catties, and in the end, it only made this small plate of shadow beef slices. This was truly exchanging quantity for quality in a very solid way.

As for the other meats next, because the quantity was insufficient, they couldn't even make a plate of tianhe exclusive shadow beef slices. Just when Sun Po felt it was a pity, Eding said that not converting it into Tianhe Exclusive was also fine, and its expenditure would be no different from ordinary spirit meal making. This also greatly relieved Sun Po.

In this way, this kitchen was truly as good as it gets.

In the following days, Huang Chao's speed of devouring Huchang became faster and faster. Later on, Huang Chao only needed to open his mouth and inhale to directly suck the Huchang within a radius of more than ten miles out of people's bodies, and then swallow them down.

A week later, Sun Po finally waited for Huang Chao to devour all the Huchang in the entire city, and his Tigers Courage value also reached 30 points, which could be considered a huge harvest.

However, Sun Po pulled out the Shanjun Temple secret realm core from his hand and remained silent without a word.
