"Reputation Points: 100..."

The prompts this time were quite numerous. The experience gained was relatively normal, but the reputation points left Qin Fang a bit puzzled, as there were no hints about their use.

With no hints available, the only option was to figure it out slowly. Perhaps one day he would discover their purpose.

Qin Fang decided to set it aside for the moment and looked at the last prompt.

"Title: Junior Master!"

He was not unfamiliar with the title system. As of now, Qin Fang had already acquired four titles: "Novice Barbecue Master," "One Against Hundred," "Newbie in the Tavern," and "Good Person."

Apart from "Newbie in the Tavern," which had a vague explanation, the other three titles came with clear annotations. "Barbecue Master" came with a chance of obtaining mutant food, "One Against Hundred" came with a chance of dealing group damage, and "Good Person" gave a boost of Charm +1.

Qin Fang was aware of the effects of these titles, but he hadn't truly tried out their actual utilities. The only somewhat useful title was "Good Person," whose effect he had figured out: the Justice Points lost from using the Stealing Skill were halved, and Skill Proficiency gained was doubled.

What had been 20 points of Justice Points was now down to 12, with 8 points lost. Qin Fang checked his Proficiency, which amounted to just 16 uses, averaging a loss of 1 point of Justice Points every two uses, meaning his 20 Justice Points would only be good for 40 uses.

Afterward, as the Justice Points depleted, the title "Good Person" would automatically disappear. When using the Stealing Skill again, Proficiency would increase slowly and Evil Points gained would double.

However, Qin Fang had already begun to reap the benefits of the Stealing Skill. It was like how he had played Li Mingjun in Shenzhou, with a sleight of hand so subtle his pants could unbuckle unnoticed...

It was precisely because of the numerous advantages this skill offered that, despite its slow growth and low use rate, Qin Fang still wanted to maintain the title "Good Person" for its additional benefit, not to mention its attribute of Charm +1. Qin Fang contemplated that his increasing popularity with women seemed to be related to this attribute.

This was the only title whose use Qin Fang fully understood. He was unclear about the others because he hadn't had the chance to put them into practice...

With that thought, Qin Fang meticulously examined his newly acquired fifth title: Junior Master.

"Junior Master, the lowest level title in the Apprentice Fame System. Holding this title, a master who has graduated a disciple in a single Skill can take on +1 more disciple, while the number for other Skills remains unchanged."

Upon reading this explanation, Qin Fang's eyebrows knit slightly.

This title couldn't be considered bad, but it certainly wasn't very good either. On the surface, it merely meant that for the sole Cooking Skill, after Wen Yi graduated as a disciple, Qin Fang would be able to take on one more disciple, increasing the number from one to two, while the number for other Intermediate Skills would remain the same.

Of course, if one analyzed it carefully, a smile quickly spread across Qin Fang's face.

He was well aware that the rapid growth of his Cooking Skill was not due to his own diligence, but rather because he had a hardworking disciple, Wen Yi, whose master gained double the experience points.

Previously, as a master, Qin Fang could only take on Wen Yi as a disciple, so his Skill Proficiency gains mainly relied on her. But now, with the ability to take on two disciples, his gains would be doubled once again.

"Hahaha..."

At this thought, Qin Fang couldn't help but burst into laughter. Just moments before, he had been contemplating how many more days it would take for his Cooking Skill to advance to Advanced Level, and now he was presented with such a generous gift.

With two disciples, and calculating the double gains, which amounted to fourfold, it perfectly offset the ratio between Intermediate and Beginner Level Skills. This meant that if a disciple increased their Proficiency by 1%, Qin Fang, as the master, would gain a 1% increase in Proficiency as well.

Perhaps advancing Proficiency in Intermediate Skills was much more challenging than in Beginner Level Skills, but under such efficiency, Qin Fang's progress would still be considerably fast.

If Qin Fang wasted no time, it was entirely possible for him to rush to Advanced Cooking Skill level before the start of the culinary festival, which could lead to Fang Feixue achieving a higher ranking.

Slap~~

Qin Fang was elated, but then a slap came flying at him, landing heavily on his shoulder.

"Qin Fang, are you looking to die? Having a fit while driving..."

Tang Feifei and Xiao Muxue were both furiously shouting at him. Qin Fang had suddenly burst into inexplicable laughter just a moment ago, his gaze becoming erratic. If the car hadn't been running so smoothly, they would have worried he might drive it into Qinglong Lake...

"Eh... What happened?"

That slap jolted Qin Fang awake, but he was still somewhat bewildered, facing two angry countenances without understanding what had transpired.

"You still have the gall to ask? Having a fit while driving, not even watching the road and laughing like an idiot..."
