Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Sishen base.

Looking at the familiar place, Yiyin was almost in tears. But it was finally over.

"[Ding! Mission completed, attribute upgrade obtained]"

The system's words did not cause any ripples in Yi Yin's mind. He felt as if he had spent half his life on this D-level mission.

However, every effort has its rewards. In addition to the attribute improvement, the relationship between Yiyin and the green-haired turtle has become closer.

After the jump upgrade was lifted, the green-haired turtle returned to D-level, but Yiyin was not worried because he knew that the green-haired turtle had at least the qualifications of an A-level monster.

"Hey, why did you guys come back just now? That's too late, isn't it?"

Just like when Yiyin just arrived at the Four Gods Base, Baihu blocked him at the door again.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

Upon learning that Yiyin and his companions had returned triumphantly, Qinglong greeted them early with his signature smile.

They were all speechless and walked into the Four Gods Base silently.

In the past period of time, there have not been any major changes in the Four Gods Base, as if everything Yi Yin and the others experienced in the Four Gods Base was just a dream.

"Iyin, I've heard about your story. You did a great job and will receive extra credits."

Looking at Qinglong who was congratulating him, Yiyin felt no ripple in his heart.

What Yiyin needs more than credits right now is Luke. Luke, oh Luke. You are so fascinating.

Yi Yin smiled weakly, "I appreciate Qinglong-senpai's kindness. But Suzaku-senpai and Xuanwu-senpai have also made a lot of contributions and deserve the same reward as me."

"Wow, Yiyin, you're such a nice person."

Zhuque was almost crying with greed.

"Okay, we'll make arrangements. Everyone, take a good rest today. It won't be too late to come back to class tomorrow."

Yi Yin did not refuse and walked straight to her dormitory.

.

Thinking back to Huang Quan's invitation, Yi Yin still felt a little scared.

He had neither naturally gifted muscles nor the system's cheat code. If he accepted Huang Quan's invitation to join Ouroboros, wouldn't that be equivalent to standing against Bubulu and the others?

Yiyin doesn't want this to happen, so let's just stick to the original story for now.

Come to think of it... Huang Quan was about to be offline in the fourteenth volume, so he wouldn't be the mastermind behind the nineteenth volume.

Could it be that my arrival has changed the expected progress?

Yi Yin shook his head vigorously, trying not to let his imagination run wild. Even if that was the case, what could he do?

Let’s take it one step at a time.

Thinking of this, Yi Yin entered her dormitory and found Xing Qiri fiddling with something.

"Wow, brother Yiyin, you're finally back."

Xing Qiri patted Yi Yin's shoulder enthusiastically, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

"Fortunately."

Yi Yin smiled and said, "I have already given the box to Huo Du. In a way, this is quite smooth."

"Haha, I knew you could do it, brother Yiyin."

Xing Qiri came over mysteriously and said:

"Brother Yiyin, you've returned just in time. The school festival at the Four Gods Base will be held in two days, and you can take advantage of this opportunity..."

"School festival? How come there is a school festival in the Four Gods Base?" Yiyin felt like he seemed to have missed a lot.

"Yeah. The school festival is an annual festival held at the Four Gods Base, designed to give Monster Master candidates a break from their heavy studies."

Xing Qiri said, "During the school festival, many restrictions will be lifted, and many facilities that are usually closed will be opened, allowing students to fully demonstrate their skills. The most exciting thing is the monster battle, which is the finale performance. Students will compete to determine the ranking. The champion will receive a mysterious gift personally awarded by Chairman Tianyi!"

Mysterious gift!

Upon hearing this, Yi Yin's eyes almost popped out. With the mysterious gift, his cultivation would definitely become faster.

However... Yiyin was not sure that he could win the championship. Although there were few people in the Four Gods Base, each of them had unique skills.

He couldn't even defeat Xing Qiri in front of him, let alone defeat other elites.

"Hehehe, the school festival is also the busiest time for me as an information dealer." Xing Qiri said meaningfully.

"Thank you for the reminder, Xing Qiri."

In any case, at least I can prepare in advance. Maybe if I perform well, I can return to the Cross Base early.

"and many more……"

Xing Qiri seemed to have thought of something and looked extremely distressed. "Since you're back, brother Yiyin, does that mean Suzaku and Xuanwu are back too? That's bad! I have to go stock up on some food!"

Zhuque's cooking skills are already well-known, and even Xing Qiri doesn't dare to accept it directly.

After saying that, Xing Qiri left the dormitory, leaving Yi Yin alone in the dormitory.

Well, I'm just sitting around doing nothing.

The thought of Suzaku still hanging around in the restaurant made Yiyin feel a pang of fear. She seemed to have said before that she would teach Suzaku how to cook, so why not go now?

After making up his mind, Yiyin also left the dormitory.

.

Restaurant kitchen.

When Yiyin arrived at the restaurant's kitchen, he happened to see Suzaku putting chili sauce into a halved pumpkin... or maybe it was ketchup?

"Suzaku-senpai, what are you doing?"

"Ah, Yiyin, you're here. I'm trying out a new kind of rice dish. Here, this is my special seasoning! With it, everyone can have three bowls of rice!"

Suzaku said proudly, "Don't worry, Iin, you are my first taster!"

After saying that, Suzaku began to crush the pumpkin, creating a bowl of sauce that looked very bad in color. Upon closer inspection, one could still see unwashed pumpkin seeds inside.

Although piling up a lot of ingredients is a common mistake for novice cooks, this is too...

"Okay, the dipping sauce is ready, now it's time for the main course, so let's make the noodles."

Zhuque felt good about herself. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and started looking for noodles to cook.

"Wait a minute." Yi Yin finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"What's wrong?" Suzaku was puzzled.

"Suzaku-senpai, there's too much water in this pot. You should pour some of it out, otherwise it'll bubble up when you wait for it to boil. Also, you should wait until the water boils a little before adding the noodles. Otherwise, they'll cook for too long and become mushy."

"Wow, Yiyin, you know a lot."

Suzaku said adoringly.

"..."

Yiyin didn't want to say anything anymore. He had realized that if he left Suzaku alone, she would definitely create a disaster.

So, Yiyin directly grabbed Suzaku's hand and taught her the most basic cooking knowledge step by step.

……

With the help of Yiyin, Suzaku finally managed to finish today's dinner.

Just looking at the appearance, at least there is no uncomfortable feeling that would make people shy away.

"Yiyin, you are so awesome. I think you can become a gourmet monster master." Zhuque has completely fallen.

"It's okay. If you cook it more often, it will become familiar naturally."

"Do you cook often?" Suzaku asked.

"Well, there used to be only three of us at home: my dad, my sister and I. My dad was very busy and was often not home for dinner. So it was usually just me and my sister. My sister is very picky, and if the food wasn't to her liking, she wouldn't eat a single bite."

"So, your sister is really happy."

Thinking back to what happened before the time travel, Yiyin became a little sad.

"Happy... maybe. Anyway, I've never won any of her fights or competitions."

"If there has to be a winner between me and her, then I will let her win."
