517, Mecha is the unique romance of Wang Qiu'er [Second Update]_1

The instructions also clearly stated that if the dish tasted better, the damage bonus was more likely to randomly hit a high value.

Because the seasoning is chicken essence, would the effects be better for chicken dishes?

But there was another note in the comments that confused Lin Yi, it clearly indicated that the bonus range for stir-fried noodles would be directly set between fifty to sixty percent.

Does the System have a fondness for stir-fried noodles? Is that why it's set up this way?

By the same logic, the better the stir-fried noodles are made, the closer the bonus value would be to sixty percent.

As a Red reward, some ingredients were even randomly gifted, including chicken and vermicelli, and a few recipes were also provided.

And the ability Wang Qiu'er received was the capability to sprinkle this magical chicken essence at will.

But the System only provides ingredients and not the cooked dishes, so was one supposed to cook on the spot?

Lin Yi said, "Damage 256437, Red Junior, the reward you've received is the Magical Chicken Essence."

After sharing the contents he had just read in the comments with Wang Qiu'er, Lin Yi flicked the red orb of light towards her.

A flash of light appeared beneath Wang Qiu'er's feet, revealing neatly packaged various ingredients, plentiful and in an eye-catching array.

Wang Qiu'er raised her hand, and soon a pile of yellow granules emerged in her palm, which at closer look resembled caterpillar feces, although that kind of feces is green.

In Soul Land, there was no such seasoning as chicken essence, so Wang Qiu'er, seeing this stuff, easily associated it with caterpillar feces, feeling somewhat repelled.

Moreover, there was an even more critical issue: she had no dishes around her, and she didn't know how to cook, so having ingredients was futile.

"Can this chicken essence be eaten directly? Then bring about a damage bonus..."

Wang Qiu'er looked up at Lin Yi and asked awkwardly.

Lin Yi shook his head, "Unfortunately, you can't. The chicken essence must be combined with a dish to be effective, or you could hire a chef who can prepare a dish for you at any time. This reward is permanent, and obtaining ingredients such as chicken and vermicelli is not difficult, so it's quite a nice reward."

Wang Qiu'er bit her lip, "I'm a stranger in a strange land, where do I go to find a chef..."

"Auspicious Beast, it seems you're still not paying enough attention to me. Don't you know I possess the God of Food template?"

Di Tian's voice came from behind.

Wang Qiu'er turned around and saw the burly man coming over with a wok.

She was instantly stupefied.

Di Tian laughed, "Not only do I need to be a chef, but I also need to be one who cooks deliciously. I am the chosen one! Hahaha!"

After saying this, he actually set up the wok on the spot, snapped his fingers, and a stove appeared.

Di Tian even brought his own spices and animal fats, guessing that these became his instinctive habits after acquiring the God of Food template.

"Stir-fried noodles or chicken dishes?"

"Stir-fried noodles!"

Adding chicken essence to stir-fried noodles meant the damage bonus was closest to the sixty percent cap, and this method was also faster than cooking chicken, much more cost-effective.

Di Tian squinted his eyes, flipping the spoon like a professional chef, and it wasn't long before Wang Qiu'er could smell the aromatic scent from the sidelines.

"That's amazing!"

She applauded.

Di Tian nodded and said, "A flip and stir for another two and a half minutes, and it's ready to come off the stove. This thing cooks quickly."

After two and a half minutes, Di Tian shifted to the side and reminded her, "Sprinkle the chicken essence."

"Right."

Wang Qiu'er's petite hand flicked a palmful of yellow granules into the pot, enhancing its color, aroma, and flavor.

After plating the dish, Di Tian extinguished the fire, kicked the stove aside, and carried the pot back the same way he came, his silhouette seemingly hiding his skills and reputation.

Wang Qiu'er first tasted a few bites and then her eyes lit up, promptly giving a thumbs up to Di Tian.

"Is this the God of Food template?! It's so delicious!"

Di Tian lifted his head proudly, "A true man should be able to grace the halls and master the kitchen."

Initially intending to sample just a few bites, Wang Qiu'er ended up devouring the entire plate of fried noodles and still seemed to yearn for more afterward.

At that moment, a number appeared in Wang Qiu'er's mind.

[Bonus: 60%]

The fried noodles had actually reached the upper limit of damage bonus—60%!

It made sense, considering the set range for fried noodles was between fifty and sixty, and the better the taste, the closer to sixty it was. How could the culinary skills of the God of Food be less than exquisite? It was definitely a top-tier caliber!

Despite this, Wang Qiu'er still needed Bumblebee to coordinate her attacks because even with a bonus of sixty percent damage, she could not raise her damage to over two hundred thousand by herself.

After briefly instructing Bumblebee, Wang Qiu'er unleashed her strongest skill, while Bumblebee simply raised its hand and fired a bullet at Lin Yi.

When the attack ended, the Damage Rebound was resolved by Bumblebee firing a cannonball.

It was simple-minded, joyfully doing somersaults in front of Wang Qiu'er after completing its master's command, while the audience erupted with noise.

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Health Lost: 274364]

[Remaining Health: 899858594638]

[Damage Level: Red (Novice)]

[Random Reward: Mecha Roulette*1]

[Host Reward: Mecha Roulette*3]

Speaking of the Mecha Roulette, Lin Yi immediately thought of Gundam upon hearing the word 'mecha.'

Bumblebee probably wouldn't count as a mecha, as mechas in the common sense are vehicles that can be ridden.

Lin Yi opened the annotations, and his expression quickly turned to surprise.

The footnote stated that the mechas in the Mecha Roulette would be magically modified for autonomous control. So, under this setting, Autobots would also be classified as such since they inherently meet the "autonomous control" criteria. This suddenly broadened the variety.

In this multiverse, there were already numerous types of mechas.

Lin Yi said to Wang Qiu'er, "Damage 274364, Red Primary Level, your reward is one Mecha Roulette. Mechas, you can refer to your Bumblebee. Of course, your Bumblebee is just one type, there are many other different types. If you're unlucky, you might get a toy-sized mecha, which doesn't have much practical value."

Perhaps it was because of Bumblebee that Wang Qiu'er had recently taken a special interest in humanoid machines and mechas. Hearing about the reward, she knew it must have been her desire that was captured!

Lin Yi conjured a sphere of light that transformed into a suspended Big Wheel.

With a mix of nervousness and excitement, Wang Qiu'er approached and started spinning the Wheel.

If she could get another robot similar to Bumblebee, it would be nice! She really found Bumblebee adorable!

For some reason, Wang Qiu'er felt that the Wheel was spinning longer than usual, as if it matched the two and a half minute wait during Di Tian's cooking process.

It was not just a feeling—indeed, it spun for two and a half minutes… Lin Yi looked at the panel in surprise at the words displayed:

[Dusk witnesses the devotion of the faithful, henceforth extending Wheel time, from one minute to two and a half.]
