C8 A Type of Medicine That Could Revive a Dead Person and the World's Number One Chef.

Upon hearing the voice in his mind, Jiang Hao paused, then his surprise turned to delight. He still had the system.

He glanced at the small tree he was supporting and commanded, "Disintegrate!"

"Congratulations, host, for disintegrating a small tree. You have obtained a bottle of Vital Essence, 0.9 skill points, and 0.9 disintegration experience!"

"Disintegration complete. Would you like to extract?"

Vital Essence: A potent liquid that enhances vitality, capable of rapidly healing any wound and even reviving the dead!

Jiang Hao was ecstatic upon reading the description. It was precisely what he needed at that moment.

"Extract!"

Shortly after, a thumb-sized bottle of emerald liquid appeared in his personal space.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zixuan stealthily observed Jiang Hao, noting the shifts in his expression. She sensed something different about him.

Jiang Hao took another look at the tree before him. To anyone else, it appeared unchanged, but through Jiang Hao's eyes, the tree's interior had darkened, its life force vanished. It wouldn't be long before it perished.

Jiang Hao felt no remorse. His priority was to save his father; the tree was a mere sacrifice.

Now, his focus was on how to administer the Vital Essence to his father without his knowledge.

He quickly devised a plan and turned to Jiang Zixuan, "Let's go home and make some chicken soup to bring to Dad. It'll help nourish him."

With that, he led the way.

Jiang Zixuan, hearing Jiang Hao's suggestion, nodded and followed him.

Back home, Jiang Hao and Jiang Zixuan gathered chicken to start the soup.

Despite their father being a somewhat renowned chef who ran a food stall daily, neither sibling had inherited his culinary gift.

"Jiang Zixuan, do you know how to make soup?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Jiang Hao, do you know how to make soup?" she returned the question.

At an impasse, they stood in the kitchen, exchanging helpless glances, clueless about what to do next.

Then, Jiang Hao had a flash of inspiration. His father had collected some cookbooks. He dashed into his father's room and began to rummage through them.

In no time at all, Jiang Hao stumbled upon an "Encyclopedia of Cooking" and a "Home Cuisine" book. As he reached for the "Encyclopedia of Cooking," a familiar voice rang out.

"You've discovered a recipe. Would you like to deconstruct it?"

The sound of that voice brought an anticipatory smile to Jiang Hao's face.

"Deconstruct it!"

With his command, the "Encyclopedia of Cooking" in his grasp shimmered with a gentle glow.

"Congratulations, host, for deconstructing the recipe. You've earned the God Chef skill, 0.8 skill points, and 0.8 deconstruction experience!"

"Deconstruction complete. Would you like to proceed with extraction?"

As the system's prompt echoed, a luminous orb materialized in Jiang Hao's mind.

Focusing intently on the orb, a stream of information flowed into his consciousness.

God Chef Level 1 (0/10): A skill of mythical proportions, practiced by the chefs of the gods, designed for the divine palate.

With this skill, one could turn the myriad elements of the universe into ingredients, crafting dishes that would earn the gods' endless acclaim!

(However, at level 1, you're limited to using ordinary ingredients to create ordinary dishes.)

Jiang Hao stood frozen, processing the revelation.

"This system is incredible!"

He snapped out of his daze, his face a mixture of astonishment and sheer joy.

Without a moment's delay, Jiang Hao eagerly exclaimed,

"Extract and integrate!"

At his command, the orb of light in his mind seamlessly blended into his consciousness.

In a flash, a torrent of vast information flooded Jiang Hao's thoughts.
