Hao Ren reached home and said, "System, open my stats."
Cultivation: Early Foundation Establishment Realm
Spirit Pet: Yin (Snake)
Artifacts: Moon Time Acceleration Hourglass, Spirit Voucher.
Talent: Yin & Yang Eyes (First Level), Assassination Skill (Master), Cooking (Master), Music (Master), Soothsaying, Alchemy (Novice), Eidetic Memory.*
Hao Ren was stunned by the changes in his stat panel. He asked, "When did my stats change?"
*Ding: The day you entered the spirit gathering realm.*
Hao Ren understood the logic behind this and asked, "Can you tell me, why I was not informed?"
*Ding: You did not ask to see your stats.*
Hao Ren clenched his fist and then sighed as he forced himself to calm down. Then he thought for a second and asked, "If I have this much lifespan I can use the Hourglass without any worries."
*Ding: Host, it is advised that you do not use that artifact here. In this world only the cultivators equal or above the realm of core formation can use some of their strength. If they cause destruction to this world's balance, they would be reduced to ashes.*
Hao Ren shivered, and then asked, "Would using the artifact here harm the world balance?"
*Ding: Yes, it goes against the laws of time in this world.*
The young man thought for a bit and said, "In the description, it said that only the time within diameter of five meters, with the host, that means me, as the center the time will accelerate, why would it effect the world?"
*Ding: Because you intend to use that time to consume the spiritual energy. If you use this method, do you think the world will survive?*
Hao Ren sighed as he realized this and then he changed his shoes and entered the kitchen. Only to find Xiao Mei sitting on the couch and looking at the void in a daze. The young man walked closer and knocked the back of his knuckles gently on her forehead and asked, "Excuse me, Goddess AI, is anyone home."
The cameras in her eyes whirred and adjusted focus before Xiao Mei raised her head to look at the man and said, "Oh, Boss, welcome home. I am optimizing the house bots we have at the moment. Do you need anything?"
Hao Ren nodded and asked, "When did you come over?"
Xiao Mei replied, "Last week, Mistress told me to live here."
Hao Ren nodded and then he took out the wolf pelts from his space ring and said, "Can you use these pelts to cover the bodies of the guard bots you have made?"
Xiao Mei looked at the pelts and then nodded. Hao Ren said, "Good, now can you get me some groceries? I have to cook a lot of food, so make a list of seven hundred and thirty dishes. All of them can be different, remove beef and highly spicy ones from the list."
Xiao Mei took the order and quickly prepared a list. She said, "You can read the list on the holo-screen I installed in the kitchen. Every part of the house now has a holo-screen for you and mistress to watch and read stuff that you need without carrying a device."
Hao Ren nodded and asked, "Lingshi authorized you to make these changes?"
Xiao Mei nodded, and the young man went to the kitchen. Xiao Mei followed him and stood leaning against the wall. Hao Ren said, "Order groceries for all the dishes one by one."
The AI raised her thumb and began to put on orders. Xiao Mei was now a butler who did could conjure things magically, well almost similar. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel~fire~net
Hao Ren said, "Are these holo-screens cleared for production?"
Xiao Mei nodded and said, "Yes, it is. They are producing the first batch at the moment. The product will be launched in the evening, and your doppelganger will make a debut."
Hao Ren chuckled and said, "Good. Make sure his circuits do not malfunction."
Xiao Mei chuckled and replied, "Boss, your joke, I understand, but I feel offended."
Hao Ren laughed as he began to cook the food. His speed was fast, had it been the past he would have been held back by the problem of heat and cooling. However, with his flames, he could boil things even in an instant. His spirit energy was helping him cleanse the ingredients faster and more thoroughly than water.
Xiao Mei watched him and said, "If the people of the world watched you cooking , I am sure they will try to put you under the blade and see what is wrong with you."
Hao Ren nodded solemnly as he was focused on making a presentation of the dish. The next three days, he only stopped cooking when Han Lingshi came home and they had dinner. He did not realize but the usage of spiritual energy circulation and the flames made his cooking proficiency increase very quickly.
He cooked a variety of dishes and labeled them before presenting them to Han Lingshi who stored them with a surprised expression. Hao Ren had also bought a lot of cutlery for his wife to eat the food in very well plated dishes.
He took one week to finish seven hundred thirty desserts for the lady. As soon as he finished the desserts, the system notified, *Ding: Host, your cooking talent has evolved, would you like to check the details?*
Hao Ren nodded and checked the details, he was surprised to see that the cooking talent had been replaced by Spirit Cooking. Hao Ren checked for more details.
Spirit Cooking: Using spiritual herbs, and spirit beast meat, you can cook dishes that have rich spiritual energy and can provide you a greater nourishment then consuming the beast meat or pills.
Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Mei, get me seeds for the spice herbs, and the best set of knives in this word. You have seven days."
Xiao Mei asked, "I just detected the hint of excitement in your voice, boss, what are you up to?"
Hao Ren chuckled and then he laughed like a maniac as he said, "I am about to become a tycoon, a fucking tycoon. I will conquer the world."
In his mind the plan to capture the world was brewing and thickening very quickly.
