How could I still get the Scroll? Where are the promised exotic treasures? Could you be more of a douchebag? How is The Great Scrolls of Fire Skills Experience any different from the regular ones? I’m just going to gain a few more experience points. What’s the point? His pleasant mood turned bad all of a sudden. What a scam! Christopher cursed and turned off his phone. But at that moment, another alert rang in his head. ‘You earned 10,000 Fire Skills points from The Great Scrolls of Fire Skills Experience!’ Ding! ‘Congratulations on the level up for your Fire Skills, Host! You’ve upgraded from Practice Level to Beginner Level. You are 99,159 experience points away from the next level.’ What? Upon hearing this, Christopher froze. He thought he had heard wrong. How many points? 10,000 experience points? And my Fire Skills, it upgraded just like that? This… This is awesome! At once, he cheered again. This Great Scrolls of Fire Skills Experience was amazing!Being upgraded was so unexpected! As he said, everything in the ‘other’ category was all treasures. There was no way they would be common items. Before he came down from his high, three more alerts rang consecutively. Ding! ‘Congratulations on your first skill upgrade, Host! You will receive your rewards from the system shortly.’ Ding! ‘Congratulations, Host! You’ve earned one Infinite Karmic Flame.’ Ding! ‘Congratulations, Host! You’ve earned one access to the Kitchen God’s Descent.’ What? There are rewards too? He was thrilled to have upgraded his Fire skills, and he didn’t expect that there would be additional rewards too. This system was quite outstanding! Just then, his phone vibrated and he felt something moving on his arm before it plunged into his body. Glancing down at his phone, he noticed that there was a banner at the top of the screen that said ‘Kitchen God’s Descent’, with the number ‘1’ written on it. ‘Kitchen God’s Descent—The True God descends to the mortal body and possesses it for a duration of three minutes. The host will gain the ability of the Kitchen God! Maximum Knife skills! Maximum Fire skills! Maximum Tasting skills! Maximum Choosing skills! Every chef skill would be at its maximum!’ The word ‘maximum’ was like music to his ears. At once, Christopher was bewildered! “Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!” Involuntarily, he blurted out. He was utterly stunned by this simple and crude introduction. This is absolutely fantastic! Every skill of his would soar to the brim. In fact, he even thought there was no point for others to play anymore. The Kitchen God’s Descent was invincible! The Kitchen God’s Descent alone is impressive as it is, but what about Infinite Karmic Flame? he wondered. Even its name sounded awesome. ‘Infinite Karmic Flame—A divine fire left on Earth when the Kitchen God ascended to the mythical world. An indispensable fiery substance when cooking the Mythical Delicacies. The duration of the Karmic Flame depends on the level of the Host’s Fire Skills. Beginner Level: The Infinite Karmic Flame will last for ten minutes each day.’ Just then, the introduction of Infinite Karmic Flame sounded in his mind. The introduction was short, but he had extracted a lot of information from it such as divine fire and Mythical Delicacies. Needless to say, this Infinite Karmic Flame was another powerful skill. “This is awesome!” It’s even related to the Mythical Delicacies. How could it not be? “From the introduction, it’s said that the Beginner Level Fire Skill allows me to maintain the Infinite Karmic Flame for ten minutes a day, but how do I activate it?” This was what he was puzzled about. Just then, he heard a buzz before a pale blue, flower-like flame bloomed on his fingertips. The temperature of the flame was extremely high, and the surroundings looked a little distorted and wavy. “So this is the Infinite Karmic Flame?” He squinted at the flame on his fingertip. He felt as if this flame was part of his body, and he could control it freely. At his will, the flame fluttered like a butterfly and it flew more than ten meters away. When it was about fifteen meters away from Christopher, the flame was beyond the limit of his control as it whirled and disappeared. This is practically a god’s skill! Not to mention it was a necessary material for cooking Mythical Delicacies. The ability to control fire at will was remarkable. On top of that, it was nothing like Dual Wielding that only allowed sixty minutes of access. This could last ten minutes a day. He wondered how long the duration could cumulatively be for a year, or even ten years. Besides, the time limit was ten minutes for Beginner Level. What about the higher levels? He guessed that it would be even higher. How awesome was it for the system to reward him with the Infinite Karmic Flame? He lit up the flame on his fingertip again and couldn’t resist playing with it for another five minutes before he extinguished it with a flick of his finger. He had received such a big gain today. At lunch, he went to the hot pot restaurant below his apartment and ordered a lamb hot pot to celebrate. In the afternoon, he focused on increasing the experience points in skills. After reading and watching cooking videos on the Internet, he had gained a lot more points. By evening, he looked up at the clock and realized that it was time for dinner, so he went out. It was rush hour and the six-meters wide street was packed. There were people jogging and having dinner apart from hawkers pushing a cart and selling things. It was like a huge farmers market. In fact, it was hard to imagine that such a place existed on the southeast coast of the cultural and economic town of Brentwood City. Just then, he walked into a ramen restaurant he frequented and ordered a bowl of beef ramen. Before the food was served, he heard loud noises outside. “What’s the matter? This is on you then, little girl. Didn’t you say that you’re willing to sing and dance for a hundred? What’s wrong with a strip dance?” “Strip dance is a dance too, isn’t it?” “It’s okay if you’re too shy. We’ll help you strip!” The one who spoke was a meaty-faced, bald, and burly man with a lecherous smile, and beside him were several punks with colorful hair. From their flashy appearances and their exposed skull tattoos, it wasn’t hard to guess that they weren’t good people. Hearing what the burly man said, Christopher could guess what happened. A young girl who sang for a living must have caught the attention of these punks and was being harassed. As a matter of fact, incidents like this were common in this neighbourhood. There were many onlookers, and although all of them were outraged, no one came forward to stop them. The punks had weapons on them while the onlookers were unarmed. How were they expected to stop them? Meanwhile, Christopher, who was still at the ramen restaurant, couldn’t stand by and watch these despicable actions anymore. When he saw the face of the girl being surrounded by the punks, he was even more unsettled. “Samantha?” Christopher was astonished.
