Chapter 473: Chapter 0473: Promotion

Su Lu looked at his status:

——————————————

Name: [Su Lu•Pottery](Bai Jing)

Strength: [1.0], Agility: [1.1], Constitution: [0.9], Spirit: [1.2]

Skills: [CookingLV3], [Boxing Skill LV1]

XP: [50]

——————————————

“This Boxing Skill is based on the information I have obtained online, the experiences from watching and learning fights, as well as my knowledge from the Maga fighting Skill… it’s essentially a set of fighting techniques. However, since it’s now considered a skill, I can use my experience points to level it up.”

Su Lu focused his consciousness.

[Ding! 30 experience points consumed, Boxing Skill LV1→LV3!]

[Boxing Skill LV3: Proficient in various martial arts techniques, Constitution +0.1, Strength +0.1!]

“So weak. It feels less impactful than the boost from the Maga fighting Skill. Is this characteristic of the world?”

Su Lu mumbled, “Moreover… Even if I have enough experience points, it can’t be upgraded to LV4, and I’m not able to gain the special abilities… This must be due to the constraints of this world.”

This is a despair that’s even deeper and darker than the Twilight of the Gods!

All beyond-human abilities, even the weakest, are prohibited!

Seeing his remaining 20 experience points, and noticing the depressingly low balance in his own wallet, Su Lu figured he’d test if he could apply points to Cooking Skill.

[Ding! 20 experience points consumed, Cooking Skill LV3→LV4!]

[Cooking level upgraded to LV4, acquired exclusive attribute——Master Knife Work]

“There is no limit for upgrading my cooking skill, as a LV4 level cooking skill is equivalent to a professional chef, which an ordinary person could attain right?”

“It appears that lifestyle skills can still benefit from leveling up and acquiring exclusive attributes, but this seems not very practical.”

Su Lu sighed and then suddenly appeared to be in shock.

He recalled some historical and mythical legends.

The so-called ‘ascending through music’, ‘ascending through literature’, is this what touching on aspects of greater truths amounts to?”

Unfortunately, that is merely wishful thinking and daydreaming!

Without the world’s support, all these non-orthodox routes are useless!

“But I can make more money … With my current cooking skill, plus knife work, I’m probably at the 4-5 star chef level, I suppose?”

Su Lu nodded,”Finally, a way to make a living now.”

…

The next day.

Li Weiwei stood outside the Bai Jing Restaurant, looking at the bustling inside, and the rich aroma wafting into the air made her stomach start to grumble uncontrollably.

“The smell of stir-fried dishes… seems to be even more flavorful.”

She wanted to walk away, but her legs seemed to betray her and carried her into the restaurant.

Gurgle! Gurgle!

The rich aroma of various dishes made Li Weiwei inevitably swallow.

“Boss…give me a stir-fried Triple Delight, to go.”

Looking around and finding no open tables, Li Weiwei had to muster up the courage to walk up to the counter, she had already prepared the cash in advance, putting it on the counter.

“Please wait.”

Su Lu was currently carving tofu with his hands in water.

He held a carving knife in his right hand, cutting and chiseling the tofu as if they each had a life of their own, transforming into various shapes.

It was as if they were supposed to be in those shapes, and Su Lu was just removing their outer constraints.

A Master Knife Work level skill was indeed impressive.

At least, Li Weiwei was unable to look away from the plate of tofu topped with gravy that looked like a piece of art.

Apart from landscapes and figures, the whiskers on the dragon looked like they were fluttering slightly, as if they were going to float away the next second.

“Boss, your knife work is comparable to a Michelin three-star chef.”

As she waited, she admired the forming works of art and couldn’t help but praise.

“Thank you, here is your stir-fry, please come again.”

Su Lu quickly packed the dish and handed it to Li Weiwei.

He thought about hiring a helper, no, he’d also need a cashier.

Busy until nine o’clock in the evening, Su Lu, regardless of still having customers, closed the restaurant for the night.

He was working for a living, not to become a slave to money.

“Whew…”

After cleaning up, Su Lu took a shower, put on a loose outfit, and sat quietly.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, looking helpless: “I felt nothing… Does this mean it’s not the right time yet?”

The arrival of Spirit Tide is determined by the world.

Of course, his Sixth-rank power was a seed, so he could barely sense it.

After unsuccessfully attuning, Su Lu browsed on his phone out of boredom.

He skillfully browsed different forums in the guise of a keyboard warrior, filter out the information he needed while going back and forth with various trolls.

“As I thought… most information about that meteor has been deleted, several smokescreen stories have been launched, public relations work has been well done…”

“And not a single picture of when I was out in space has leaked… it has been tightly sealed.”

This was a certainty.

God knows how terrified those countries were.

This was a living giant! A creature of wisdom! An extraterrestrial life form!

All the nations that possessed space observation capabilities and captured the image had almost gone into a frenzy.

Su Lu wasn’t aware of the various effects associated with this, but he could see that all the major national stock markets had experienced some degree of decline, and industries such as military and infrastructure were running counter to the trend, experiencing a rise. He could roughly guess some of the issues.

“Wait a minute! Although the giant caught on camera was Su Lu, not Bai Jing, it was in the form of Mythical Body at full strength… every part of my body is a mystery! It represents a lot of knowledge.”

Even if it was blurry, some aspects could potentially be analyzed.

Su Lu’s expression suddenly became incredibly solemn: “Is this the meaning of a ‘seed’? My Mythical Body is the origin of transcendence in this world?”

…

Meanwhile, across the ocean in a vast country.

Inside a certain laboratory.

“Dr. Suvit, how’s the analysis of the ‘Ancient God’ photo going?”

A stern, white-haired man in black clothing, a secret agent, asked the head of the lab.

“…the ‘Ancient God’ photo?”

Dr. Suvit adjusted his glasses, “Agent Louis, you see, several of my lab researchers have gone mad over it…”

“Why is that so?” Louis asked confusedly.

“The Ancient God… It is an intelligent life form in the universe, I even suspect it’s from a higher dimension. With our naked eyes, we can hardly observe it in true form, those crazed astronauts are evidence.”

Dr. Suvit spread his hands helplessly, “And, in the photos and videos taken by various countries, most have been terribly affected, directly damaged. Only a few photos have been preserved. From comparison, we estimated that the ‘Ancient God’ is over a hundred meters tall… Also, the clear photos couldn’t be replicated, and taking photos of the photos would only result in a shadow… this is beyond the reach of science.”

“Beyond the reach of science, divine?” Agent Louis left with a heavy heart.

Meanwhile, Dr. Suvit’s expression suddenly became strange, he murmured: “That’s something the gods gave to all humans, it cannot be monopolized by a single force, that would be a crime against all of humanity.”
