Primordial Draconic Incubus With A Gourmet Chef System

Back in the kitchen, Lucian was frowning after he heard Garm's words. Although he could tell his words were not spoken out of spite, as a chef, who took pride in his work, Garm's words were no different than slapping him across the face and stepping over his body.

<{The Host's pride has been hurt!}>

<{How can someone insult the future Transcendent Chef?}>

<{As the future Transcendent Chef, you must excel in all aspects of cooking.}>

<{Recipe added: Berry Blast}>

<{Quest: Make the Berry Blast}>

<{Rewards: Jade Rabbit Hotdog Recipe and One Star Essence Fragment}> Stay connected through empire

Lucian's frown vanished, and his face returned to indifference after seeing the System Notifications. He did not expect he would receive another Quest, but he more than welcomed it, especially the second reward, which surprised him greatly.

It was actually a Star Essence Fragment! At the moment, he only had one Star Essence Fragment! The addition of another was definitely a pleasant surprise.

'I wonder whose pride is actually more hurt.' Lucian chuckled and looked at his adorable defender with a brief affectionate smile. 'How fierce.'

"You want a drink? Very well. It will be out soon."

Lucian's indifferent voice sounded out from the kitchen, startling Garm and the rest.

Lily, whose cheeks were flushed and puffed, was also pleasantly surprised.

She looked at his indifferent face through the serving hatch and knitted her slender eyebrows. 'Is Big Brother Lucian angry?'

Once again, her impression of Garm worsened.

"Hahaha, Chef Lucian, you're the best! Don't take too long. Even though my Sword Aura is keeping your dishes' fragrance from escaping, my brain still remembers the wonderful smell." Garm gave a thumbs up at Lucian and laughed uproariously.

Lucian nodded and mentally clicked on the Recipe tab on his Status Screen. There he saw the Recipes available to him: the Siren's Melody Poached Egg, Sous Vide Filet Mignon, Sweet Berry Cream Glazed Dough Balls, Cheese and Herb Garlic Butter Dough Balls, and the newly acquired Berry Blast.

After mentally clicking on the Berry Blast Recipe, a flood of information was sent to his Soul, becoming his memory.

In an instant, he became a master at creating the Berry Blast.

The sweet and tangy Berry Blast perfectly complemented the savory, rich Siren's Melody Poached Egg.

At the same time that Lucian saw the menu card in his mind, it was added to the fourth page of the menu.

After checking his memories of where each ingredient had been placed by the System, Lucian opened the fridge. Like always, there was a set of ingredients inside — a cup with mixed berries, one Fireheart Orange, and a tray of Low-grade Mana Water Ice Cubes.

Four types of delicious scents were emanating from the cup.

Lucian grabbed the cup from the fridge and placed it beside the sink. After grabbing a strainer from the cabinet, he washed them under cold water, ensuring their freshness and bringing out more of their vibrancy.

After a while, he turned off the faucet and dried the berries on a kitchen towel. At this moment, the vibrant colors of the Golden Honeyed Strawberries, Sapphire Crystal Blueberries, Midnight Essence Blackberries, and Crimson Blood Vine Raspberries sparkled under the kitchen lights.

Each of the berries emitted a wonderful fragrance that perfectly harmonized with one another.

The fragrance floated into the dining area from the serving hatch.

Lily and the rest suddenly opened their eyes and turned in the direction of the wonderful fruity fragrance.

"Big Brother Lucian is making a fruit drink?" Lily asked with an excited expression. Sweet foods and drinks were her favorite!

On the other hand, Garm frowned, "I was hoping for something with alcohol, but I guess this will do."

Albert remained motionless. He was not an alcoholic like his Master. He preferred drinks that contained coffee.

'It smells refreshing. Senior is truly an expert.' James thought, with increased worry. He was in a dilemma, the better Lucian was at cooking was a cause for celebration; however, it also meant his chances of getting Lucian on his side would be less.

Back in the kitchen, Lucian brought out the Fireheart Orange from the fridge. But just as he was about to squeeze the orange into juice, the solemn voice of the System resounded in his mind.

[Host, as the future Transcendent Chef you need to be more attentive to your surroundings.]

[Hmm?] Lucian frowned at being broken from his focused state. He did not like being interrupted when he was cooking, but after sensing a pair of eyes on him from the dining area, Lucian understood what the System meant.

[Thanks System.]

[The System is merely doing its job.] The System said solemnly and transported two sets of ingredients to their designated places.
