Scarlett had the most serious look put on, but Christopher couldn’t do as she wished. Demonstrate to you? You must be kidding! I’ll be exposed the moment I touch the knife! That is not going to happen! With his most innocent look, he pleaded, “Mr. Sears!” Despite being a very capable woman who had been running The Serenade for years, Luna’s observation was still not as good as Scarlett’s. In fact, it wasn’t just Luna; everyone in The Serenade including Hayden had never suspected Christopher. Hence, Scarlett’s action was deemed compulsive in Luna’s eyes. “Scarlett!” With a slight hint of reprimand, Luna said, “Don’t fool around anymore. What are you doing? Keep your knives.” “But Luna…” “Keep them!” This time, Luna used a stricter tone. “Okay!” It seemed that Scarlett was still a little inferior to Luna. Seeing that Luna had a stern face on, Scarlett could only keep the knives although she was a little unwilling. Nevertheless, her gaze on Christopher was still filled with doubts. Luna had intended for the two to meet and get to know each other, but never had she imagined that it would turn out this way. Heaving a sigh, she dismissed Christopher. “Alright, you can leave first! I’ll call for you if there’s anything.” “I’ll be leaving then, Ms. Sears.” It was very pressuring to stay in the same space with a genuinely highly-skilled chef like Scarlett. Hence, he fled the room right after Luna’s cue. What was odd was that he even noticed that Scarlett’s gaze was still fixed on him until he completely shut the door of the meeting room. That sure did leave him speechless. Taking in a deep breath, he took a glance at the goosebumps that he had on his arms. It was then that he made a mental note not to cross Scarlett in the future. He did not want to blow his cover after all. Though there was a lingering fear, he was not very concerned about Scarlett’s suspicion toward his knowledge of the Dual Wielding skill. All he had to do was keep his mouth shut and his hands off knives. As long as there was the video as proof, any form of doubt was not going to harm him. When he returned to the kitchen, the other chefs had already started to cook. It was about 10 in the morning then, which was the time to begin preparations. The job scope of the line cook was to prepare the ingredients. In other words, he had to chop the ingredients. As with the other chefs, he stood in front of a chopping board before beginning to cut away. “Ding! Congratulations, Host! Your Knife Skills have improved. Knife Skills experience +2.” Just as he finished cutting a potato, Christopher heard the automated alert tone. “I got an increase in experience?” He was in disbelief. He did not use the lucky draw, nor did he use any experience scroll! “Is it because I’ve just cut a potato?” Just as the thought crossed his mind, he began to chop the potato into slices. “Ding! Congratulations, Host! Your Knife Skills have improved. Knife Skills experience +2.” The familiar sound rang in his head once again. At once, he became excited. “It works!” It seemed that not only could he gain experience via using the experience scrolls, carrying out physical tasks worked as well. “What about watching?”In that instant, he turned his gaze toward a chef who was controlling the fire by the stove. After a short while of observation, the notification about his Fire Skills experience increasing also rang. The new discovery had him over the moon. Based on the current information, he needed ten thousand experience points to level up any of his skills. Converted into experience scrolls, ten thousand experience points were equivalent to a hundred scrolls. It would take a hundred times of lucky draw for him to get a hundred experience scrolls, which would dry out his thumbs-up points very quickly. Initially, he was still worried about figuring out a method to level up his skills quickly. Unexpectedly, he had found a way to do that now. Hence, he began to chop the potatoes non-stop, and his Knife Skills increased throughout. In no time, he had reached 324 experience points. However, he then realized that the rate of experience increment would decline gradually. By the time he had chopped up two times more potatoes, his experience had only reached 400 points. “It seems that this method of leveling up has a limit. I suppose that the rate of increase in experience would be even slower as I go on.” Based on the setting and theory, he could have the Knife Skills of a Master Level, or even a Divine Level just from chopping potatoes alone. Simply put, it was impossible. When he had chopped up all available potatoes, his Knife Skills experience had reached 458. Just by looking at the chef who was controlling the fire by the stove, his Fire Skills experience had gotten to 388. As for Tasting Skills and Choosing Skills, he couldn’t do anything to increase the experience level of these techniques in the kitchen, so the experience level was stagnant. Nonetheless, he thought that the experience for these two skills could be earned in similar ways. All he needed was time. “Excellent!” Clenching both his fists, he had decided to purchase a bunch of books related to culinary when he passed by the book store after work. Based on his current understanding, reading culinary books would earn him some experience across all skills. However, he did not know how much he could gain from that. As Christopher was busy brainstorming ways to level up his skills, he was surprised all of a sudden. Turning back to take a look, he was met with Scarlett who was already in her head chef outfit and had come to the kitchen. She was staring right at him from a distance.Undeniably, Scarlett did look like a big chef after putting on the head chef’s outfit. Though her face was still adorable, she gave people a different feeling now. Seeing that he had noticed her, she made a beeline toward his side before picking up a few potato slices that Christopher had just chopped up. After taking a good look at them, she asked, “Did you cut these?” “Yeah!” With a nod, he admitted, not seeing how there was an issue with that. “Hmph!” With a pout, Scarlett exclaimed, “I’m sure you don’t have the skill of Dual Wielding!” Here she began again. At this moment, he could not help but roll his eyes. “You don’t believe that?” Seeing the contempt on his face, Scarlett was starting to get mad. “If you truly had the Dual Wielding skills at the Legend Level, how is it possible that the potato slices you chopped have such inconsistent width? You are just an amateur!” Inconsistent width? Scrutinizing the potato slices that he had chopped, he truly did not know how Scarlett saw that. Whatever it was, he failed to see it. Hence, he pursed his lips before replying, “They look quite consistent to me!” “How is this consistent?! All of your potato slices have differences exceeding 1 millimeter. That’s unacceptable!” Arms akimbo, she lectured, “As a chef who has great Knife Skills and knows Dual Wielding, the potato slices that you chop should be able to be stacked into a cube. Can you do that?” “Stacked into a cube? Of course not!” At once, he thought that she was exaggerating. Humans were not robots after all. How was such precision possible? “Why can’t you do that? A great chef could even carve paintings on a rice bead. If you don’t believe it, I’ll show you!” After saying that, she snatched the knife that was in his hands and began cutting the potato slices that he had already chopped up. Her speed on the knife was truly quick, and all he could see was several afterimages of her movements. At this moment, the automated alert tone rang in his head. “Congratulations, Host! Your Knife Skills have improved. Knife Skills experience +5.” At once, he was delighted. He knew it! Experience! It was all experience!Hearing the notification ringing non-stop in his head, Christopher couldn’t help but feel happy within.
