Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 394: Permanent Elixir


The next day.

Kane was in his room's bathroom, reluctantly washing up and slowly putting on his clothes.

"Are you ready, Kane?"

Kreya's voice came from outside the door.

"Alright, alright, I'm coming." Kane replied and quickened his pace, getting dressed and heading out the door.

Kreya was already dressed up and waiting for him in the living room.

Every time they took a break, Kreya would go find Yorkson to learn culinary skills, and this time was no exception.

Except for the first time, it was always Lilulu accompanying Kreya, because Kreya would use desserts as a reward.

As for Kane, he had promised Kreya the last time that he would accompany her next time, and it happened that Lilulu was busy managing her Fairy Tale World today.

Yesterday, Kane was engrossed in new mechanical knowledge, and almost forgot about this, if not for Kreya's reminder this morning.

Kane forced himself to pull away from the sea of knowledge.

As Kane and Kreya were heading out the door, Meizike's voice came from behind.

"Wait, I'm coming too."

???

Hearing Meizike's words, Kane and Kreya both turned their heads, looking at him in surprise, and Longbei, who was eating breakfast in the room, also turned his head in astonishment.

Oh my, the true homebody Meizike actually wants to go out, and with Kane and the others, especially after just acquiring new knowledge yesterday.

Kreya reached out and tugged on Kane's thigh.

"Ouch, that hurts."

Hearing Kane's shout, Kreya only then let go and nodded, seems like this isn't a dream.

Watching Meizike walking over, Kane rubbed the mark on his thigh with a grimace, then asked puzzledly.

"Why do you want to come out with us today, especially at this time?"

"My research has hit a bottleneck, but I can't find the key to unlock it. Magic cuisine can permanently enhance attributes, so I thought I'd come along to see if I can find that 'key'."

About his research and potions, Meizike rarely spoke at length.

But that makes sense, to want to go out for no reason would be too strange, especially for Meizike.

Through the corridor of the Circular Restaurant, heading towards the area in front, they emerged from the dungeon.

However, they didn't go straight towards the school but instead came to the outside of the Mist Restaurant, next to a commercial building with many shops inside.

Kreya went into a boutique selling women's clothing, and when Kane wanted to enter, he was held back by Meizike on the shoulder.

Turning his head, Kane saw Meizike's question-filled look.

Kane understood what he wanted to convey, wondering why they talked about going to the teacher to learn culinary skills, but ended up at a clothing store?

Kane patted Meizike's shoulder: "This is perfectly normal, nothing strange about it, that's just women for you."

With that said, he walked into the shop under Meizike's puzzled gaze.

When Meizike couldn't figure it out and entered the shop, he saw Kane happily helping Kreya pick out clothes, occasionally offering his opinions.

Meizike tilted his head, now more puzzled.

He couldn't quite understand Kane's actions. It wasn't like he hadn't gone out with Kane before; Kane most detested aimlessly wandering through shops.

And like himself, Kane would lock himself in the room for whole days researching, especially before with even more intensity than himself.

How come after going out with Kreya, he seemed like a different person?

"Is Meizike wondering why the master's behavior is a little strange?" Yoyo, who had been tagging along with Kane and the others, looked up and asked upon seeing Meizike's puzzled face.

Meizike didn't quite understand Yoyo's words, but he nodded anyway.

"Yoyo knows, squat down and Yoyo will tell you secretly."

Upon hearing that, Meizike squatted down, and Yoyo whispered something into Meizike's ear.

After a while, Kane and Kreya had chosen the clothes and handed them to the shop owner, asking for them to be altered to fit Kreya's size, planning to come back later for pickup.

When they were ready to leave, they saw Meizike squatting on the ground with Yoyo next to him, whispering something. Meizike had a look of understanding and was nodding in agreement with Yoyo from time to time.

"What are you guys doing?" Kane walked over and asked.

"Yoyo is discussing research findings with Meizike!" Yoyo's mechanical voice had a distinctly excited tone.

Meizike nodded, agreeing with Yoyo's words.

"I see." Kane nodded and didn't press further.

Luckily, he didn't ask what the research was about.

Then the three of them proceeded towards the school.

Before long, they arrived at a villa, which was Yorkson's residence, and they could see a big rat in the distance, watering the plants around with a kettle.

Watching Kreya and the others coming over, he nodded, then put down the kettle and walked towards the room with his hands behind his back.

Kreya also followed consciously, and Kane and the others quickly followed.

After walking for a while, they arrived at that spacious kitchen again.

He directly pointed to the stove, indicating to Kreya to cook a dish first to see if her culinary skills had improved.

Watching Kreya start selecting ingredients, Yorkson came over and sat down next to Kane and the others.

He knew Kane but didn't know Meizike, turning his head to glance over, then asked, "Who is this?"

"His name is Meizike, also a member of our team, and he's a pharmacist."

"Oh," Yorkson nodded, then shook hands amiably with Meizike.

"I would like to ask you some questions."

At this time, Yorkson noticed Meizike's four arms, surprisingly asking, "Are you of the Mona race and also a pharmacist? Is your surname Tu?"

"Yes," Meizike nodded somewhat strangely.

Yorkson not only clearly called out Meizike's race but also knew his surname.

One should know that most people only know the term "Four-Handed Clan" but are unaware that they call themselves Mona.

Upon hearing Meizike's acknowledgment, Yorkson nodded knowingly.

Then he said, "Feel free to ask your questions; if I can answer them, I will."

Upon hearing this, Meizike no longer cared why he knew his surname and started discussing his doubts with him, asking how delicious food could provide permanent attribute bonuses to the eater.

In this world, it's not that there are no potions that can permanently enhance attributes, but the technology used for such potions is scarcely popularized.

Everyone has their own path, not applicable to others, and a significant part is due to their own origin skills to achieve such effects.

Subsequently, Kane saw the two of them engaging in an intense discussion, with Yorkson picking up ingredients to demonstrate something to Meizike.

After listening for a while, Kane found that he couldn't understand at all, as it was all professional jargon contrary to his field, so he turned his head to seriously admire Kreya cooking.

The two talked for quite a while before Meizike nodded, then went directly to the far edge of the kitchen, where he laid out the alchemy equipment he carried for immediate use.

However, he then took out a tool to seal his section off, preventing any scent from spreading and affecting others.

At this time, Kreya had also finished preparing a dish and brought it to Kane and the others.

Kane identified it as a silver-colored dish capable of increasing strength.

But from start to finish, Kreya seemed to only use one magic ingredient without other magic ingredients as auxiliary, and the speed of production was quick, looking effortless; it seems Kreya can now stably create silver-level magic cuisine.

Yorkson also tasted it and then nodded with satisfaction, "Your progress is incredibly fast, as Burton said, you're indeed a promising chef."

After speaking, Yorkson went to the stove and started operating, saying to Kreya, "Now I'll teach you the last lesson, once learned you don't need to come again, just settle down well, and you'll naturally be able to make golden-level cuisine."

Upon hearing this, Kreya nodded heavily, then earnestly studied on the side.

The bored Kane could only stand silently behind Meizike, carefully observing how he was refining potions.

Thus, time passed until dusk.

And Kreya also concluded her last lesson.

At this point, Meizike lifted the protective shield, and a breath wafted out from the barrier around him.

The refreshing aroma made them feel invigorated, turning their heads involuntarily to look.

Meizike was excitedly looking at the potion in his hand, holding a bottle of light purple potion emitting a faint glow, like stars flowing.

Kane walked over and asked, "Did you succeed?"

"Yes," Meizike nodded heavily, then handed the potion in his hand to Kane, implying for him to appraise if there were any other issues.

Kane took the potion and began to appraise it.

[Spiritual Mist]

[Consumable]

[Color: Silver]

[Attributes: Permanently increases Spirit Resistance upon consumption]

[Description: A master's work, a rising star, though immature, the clear path has appeared, this is a new path.]

Watching the description appear at the bottom after appraisal, Kane thought the evaluation was quite high.

He then handed the potion back to Meizike and relayed the description and attributes to him.

It seems Meizike indeed succeeded, as Kane opened the Book of Adventure, turned to Meizike's info section to look at his skill description, and found that his potion knowledge had upgraded from advanced to master.

Everything pointed to Meizike's success.

And nearby, Yoke Pine watched Meizike and nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems you've already surpassed your grandfather's achievements."
