Start with push-ups to gain experience

Chapter 123 Gourmet Skill Effects

Looking at these prompt messages, Fang Cheng's eyes were slightly startled, and the chopsticks in his hand stopped moving.

Remember that after the gourmet skill is upgraded to 50 points, the progress bar will start to increase much slower.

At least eating a casual meal on a daily basis rarely adds any experience points.

Recently it has been stuck at over 90 points and has not been able to break through.

Fang Cheng looked at the content of the prompt message and secretly pondered the upgrade rules revealed by the panel.

It seems... the worse the food you eat, or the more precious and rare it is, the more experience points you will gain?

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng's appetite suddenly increased.

He continued to pick up his chopsticks and scoop bull whips, tiger whips, sea lion whips and other things into the bowl.

But this time he became more aggressive and his eating habits were a little exaggerated.

It just so happened that, except for Ma Dong Hyuk himself, everyone else found it a little hard to swallow.

Seeing that Fang Cheng had such a good appetite and was enjoying the meal so much, the atmosphere of the banquet naturally became more lively.

Ma Dong Hyuk laughed heartily, and it was almost as if the words "I am the God of Cookery" were written on his face.

Fang Cheng didn't bother to listen to his bragging. He just stared at the words "Experience +1" that kept appearing in front of him and focused on the sumptuous food.

Finally, the panel flashed with a dazzling light!

[Congratulations, after unremitting efforts, your skills have reached the expert level]

【Food Level 1 (0/250)】

[Get enhanced rewards, skill effect "poison resistance"]

[Poison resistance, the body's resistance to bad food and toxic substances, increases the basic physical attributes by 100%]

At the banquet, Ma Jianguo saw Fang Cheng was busy eating and didn't even have time to talk.

The topic of discussion then shifted to their own son.

He said he wanted to help Ma Dong Hyuk find a decent job, as he was too embarrassed to ask for anything from his old friends before.

Now that his son has become a good citizen who bravely stands up for justice, he naturally feels more confident and hopes that Ma Dong Hyuk can live a stable life from now on, marry a wife, and give him a grandson.

After his skills were successfully upgraded, Fang Cheng was in a good mood and immediately said a few words to help the old man.

Ma Dong Hyuk felt overwhelmed when he heard the two of them teaming up for doubles, and he quickly drank to cover up his embarrassment.

Inside the Ma family mansion, everyone was toasting their glasses and chatting happily.

In the National Security Department building on the other side of the city, there were also many excited people.

"Ding--"

After exiting the elevator and stepping into the spacious and bright corridor, you can see a wide, imposing, and technologically advanced glass door access from afar.

Luo Ge and A Jian came to the headquarters base for the first time. They looked extremely excited, but also a little nervous.

The two men were then led to the glass door by a young and beautiful policewoman.

The door will open automatically after the camera on the access control scans the visitor's face.

The policewoman led them through the well-organized office area and into a laboratory with slightly dim lighting.

Two people were standing in front of a one-way glass window, staring at the data on a computer monitor and talking in low voices.

"Dr. Sun, Director Qin, the two team members are here."

Hearing the reminder, Director Qin turned around, glanced at them, and raised his hand to signal them to wait a moment.

The policewoman then took her leave and closed the door, leaving Luo Ge and Ajian standing there, looking around curiously.

The laboratory looked quite large, and was filled with many sophisticated instruments with flashing red and green indicators. In another room, there were many cylindrical glass culture dishes, and some strange-looking creatures were soaking in the yellow-brown liquid.

Deep in the corridor, several researchers in biochemical protective suits walked out like ghosts and quietly passed by them.

The serious and depressing atmosphere made the two feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Director Qin and Dr. Sun seemed to be observing an experimental subject, he moved a little closer and looked at the scene inside the glass window.

I saw two assistants in protective suits busy working beside a laboratory bed, drawing blood samples.

Lying on the bed was a tall, muscular man with a helmet on his head connected to many cables.

It was the experimental subject that they brought back from the Red Tiger Gang’s warehouse base that night.

The only difference is that now, his head and neck have been sutured with surgical sutures, and he looks a little more human again.

Dr. Sun stared at the brain scan image displayed on the computer screen and muttered to himself:
"It can be seen that he had a lobotomy in advance, and the original part was filled with some kind of blue mysterious substance. This made it completely lose human emotions, but it can also withstand the enhanced hormones in the injected medicine to the maximum extent, thereby speeding up cell division and producing stronger recovery ability."

He muttered for a while, then raised his head and sighed:
"The mysterious organization behind the Red Tiger Gang has strong scientific research capabilities. They have actually found a new way to restore the human body to its limits."

"If we can really follow this path, the immortality technique that has been passed down since ancient times may no longer be a dream..."

Seeing that Dr. Sun had broken away from his focused research, Director Qin took the opportunity to introduce two of his team members to him.

Dr. Sun turned to look at the two of them, nodded slightly, and praised:
"You have completed this mission very well and deserve a reward."

Then he changed the subject and asked:
"However, do you have an answer as to whether the man in black who killed the experimental subject you met was from a noble family?"

They do not have a good relationship with the chaebol families who control the country's economic lifeline, and it can even be said that they are in opposition.

If the other party knew about the experimental subject in the special search team's possession, it might cause some unnecessary disturbances.

Luo Ge quickly replied respectfully:

"Based on the situation at the time, I can at least confirm that he is definitely not one of those irrational alien monsters. Otherwise, he would not just kill the other party and leave the body to us. I'm afraid he would have already sucked his blood dry to replenish his own strength."

Director Qin then took over his subordinate's words:
"I checked the files, and I couldn't find any female or male who met the requirements, whether it was the surname Wen, Weng or Wen. So the siblings were most likely the illegitimate children of a chaebol son. Because their awakening abilities were given special attention, they were secretly recalled to the East Capital, and their family names have not been restored for the time being."

The special search team keeps a secret file on the family genealogy of Xia Country and even several important countries overseas.

Of course, these files are absolutely confidential and cannot be leaked to the outside world, otherwise it will lead to impeachment and investigation of those chaebol families.

"Since they haven't reacted yet, that guy must be just a rookie who doesn't know the value of this experimental subject and only came across it by chance while hunting..."

Dr. Sun pondered for a while and nodded happily: "That's good, at least my experiment won't be disturbed."

An ordinary task of collecting experimental materials actually resulted in an unexpected surprise, which was the best outcome for him.

Director Qin then added:

"I have already included him in the file, codenamed 'Asura', and asked the Intelligence Department to keep an eye on him. As long as he is a child of a noble family, he will come to the fore sooner or later."

Shura refers to an aristocratic family, and Asura means someone whose ability is qualified but whose identity is questionable.

None of them speculated in the direction of the civilians.

This is a very natural and simple thing.

Because even if a civilian has a one in a million chance of awakening special abilities, they will soon become insane.

Those who were able to awaken successfully and reach C-level or above strength did not fall into a state of madness.

If he is not the son of a chaebol family, what other identity could he have?
Perhaps, there is another possibility...

Director Qin suddenly remembered something and shook his head in disdain.

That might not be realistic either.
