The Hardest Skill, A Modern Meal
'Should I make something new this time?'
Just like everything else, the ancient murim and the modern Earth were vastly different from each other. Some similarities existed since the author took the history of Asia as a reference like most did, but the threads that weaved the incomplete pages into an actual world left their own unique print.
There were dishes that Leo had heard of or ones that looked different yet tasted the same as something he was familiar with. However, there were always new plates that could either turn out to be stunningly good or remarkably inedible, mostly thanks to the different ingredients used in food.
Leo had already seen how wasteful the dishes in the Heavenly Furnace were, but some gourmets did worse in the outside world. Some used actual Elixirs that had over a thousand years of age just to try out the exquisite taste!
Cluck. Cluck. Cluck.
