Gu Qing Shan glanced over the War God UI.
He finished reading through the notifications but didnât talk to the System right away.
Because some light had begun to appear around his body, the light seemed to be ejecting him through the void of space.
An inexplicable sense of rejection surrounded Gu Qing Shan.
Briefly sensing it, Gu Qing Shan found that this was a pushing force that came from the world itself.
The amount of time he was allowed to stay was up, so the Super Dimensional world was preparing to eject him.
The 1 hour he had was given by Xiao Die.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have been able to enter this Super Dimensional world in the first place.
While surrounded by this light, Gu Qing Shan casually turned around.
He looked to Barry and asked: âYou mean, I can stay here to rest for a day?â
âOf course young man, this place of mine is quite spacious, youâll be able to rest up for a day no problemâ
Seeing the light around Gu Qing Shan, Barry didnât even wait for him to accept and just gestured to Kitty.
Kittyâs figure flashed before appearing in front of Gu Qing Shan.
A wondrous wave of power surged upward from the ground, fusing together with her.
âJustice Iron Fist Clubâ
âBeacon determined, allow this person to remain for a dayâ
While chanting that, Kitty patted Gu Qing Shan on his shoulder.
Gu Qing Shan stood still, but the light surrounding him went away.
The feeling of rejection from the world disappeared.
He remained.
Gu Qing Shan clasped his fist: âIt has been a long way to get here, Iâm grateful to the two of you for lending me a place to restâ
âDonât mind it, this Barry has always been willing to provide others a little bit of convenienceâ Barry patted his chest and said.
âYou came here to deliver something, but we canât just shoo you away after taking it, thatâs not how we areâ Kitty said.
âThatâs rightâ
Barry also nodded next to her.
ââwe let you stay here for a day out of hospitality and the kindness of our hearts, and not for any other reasons.
Yep, thatâs right.
Gu Qing Shan then said: âAs thanks for letting me stay, Iâve decided to treat you two to a delicious dinnerâ
âCome on now, youâre a guest, how can we trouble you soâ
âYes, it should be us treating youâ
The brother and sister both spoke sincerely.
Seeing their anxious expression Gu Qing Shan silently retorted in his mind.
â-youâll treat me? To what, the wind?
He then smiled: âThen how about you help me with something? As thanks, Iâll make you a mealâ
The brother and sister became a bit cautious.
As experienced as they were, this scene couldnât be any more familiar.
Even the mindless space monsters arenât going to be lured by a simple meal.
So people like them would definitely not fall for such a thing!
âWhat do you want us to help with?â Kitty smiled and asked with eyes that werenât smiling.
âFinish a full table of foodââ- to a cook, the thing they can be proudest about is someone finishing their full course without leaving anything behindâ Gu Qing Shan casually said.
He had already taken pots, pans and other utensils from this Inventory Bag and was thinking of what kind of dish to prepare.
âThat isâŠâ Kitty found that a bit unexpected, muttering.
âAlright, then we wonât hold back, truthfully said, we canât really cook at allâ
Barry smiled and told him.
After preparing everything, Gu Qing Shan briefly had a thought, reached into his Inventory Bag and took out a jade tag.
A few lines of text showed up on the War God UI.
[Discovered Bai Hua sect spirit cooking complete manual]
[To fully comprehend the techniques inside, you need to consume 200 Soul Points]
200 Soul Points wasnât a lot.
Gu Qing Shan checked his remaining Soul Points.
From before, to deal with Rakshasaâs [Mystery of All Things Equal], he transformed into various creatures one after another, finally achieving victory.
In that battle, he spent a total of 6900 Soul Points.
Accounting other miscellaneous expenditures as well, Gu Qing Shan now had about 1300 left.
âIâll use 200 Soul Points to learn the techniquesâ Gu Qing Shan spoke.
[Soul Points received, remaining Soul Points: 1100/400]
[Comprehending techniques]
A warm flow came from the jade tag into Gu Qing Shanâs hand, settling at his Thought Sea.
Immediately, Gu Qing Shan knew every spirit cooking technique and skill compiled by Bai Hua sect, and it only took 1 brief second.
Gu Qing Shan was originally talented with cooking and brewing, otherwise he couldnât have become the owner of a thriving grilled food stall, earning enough tuition to pay for three years in an aristocratic high school.
With the new techniques he just learnt, he became even more of an expert.
Gu Qing Shan quickly and skillfully prepared the cooking ingredients.
With a single chefâs knife, he managed to peel the skin of all the vegetables, dicing them neatly and orderly arranged them in a salad bowl.
Following that, he cooked chicken perfectly baked in tin foil over an open fire.
While wearing gloves, Gu Qing Shan quickly shredded the chicken meat by hand into bite-size pieces, mixed a small portion of secret ingredient condiment to go with the chicken and served it on the table.
Next was noodles.
Gu Qing Shan mixed, kneaded, rolled out and stretched the dough from scratch with a bread roller before cooking it once in boiling water. He then sprinkled a bit of rare spirit spring water on top to soak, divided it into three portions with garlic, chili pepper, spring onions, a bit of pickled vegetables as garnish.
âŠ
Fully immersed in this work, Gu Qing Shan quickly made a full course of spirit cooking.
Kitty silently nodded as she watched.
âWithout a long time of experience working in a kitchen, his movement wouldnât be that skillful and fluidâ she muttered in a low voice to Barry.
âIâm hungryâŠâ Barry muttered back.
The scent of food filled the air.
The pair of brother and sister moved a table and chair over, set the table neatly before sitting down, full of anticipation.
âBro, how long have you been hungry for?â Kitty suddenly asked.
âA month and 7 days, arenât you the same?â Barry asked.
âAh, Iâm only hungry for 21 daysâ Kitty replied.
âThat canât be right, I remembered we both ran out of food at the same timeâ Barry questioned.
âI had a few snacks hidden awayâ Kitty answered.
While they talked, Gu Qing Shan plated up the food on the table.
He also picked out a few liquors, didnât mix them much and only threw them together to fit his taste.
A rich full course dinner with 7 dishes and delicious alcohol was served.
The three of them had a toast.
âThank you for having meâ Gu Qing Shan said.
âNo need, no need, thank you for this wonderful mealâ Barry replied.
âFeel free to dig in, after dinner, Iâll prepare some sweets as wellâ Gu Qing Shan said.
âAlright, then I wonât hold backâ
Barry and Kitty quickly forgot everything else but the food.
They quickly gorged it down like it was their last supper.
âDelicious, delicious!â Barry praised.
Kitty looked at Gu Qing Shan: âWe were wrong before, with cooking skills like these, youâll be able to make it in any world without a problemâ
âAbout that, there are a few demons too strong for me, canât pass themâ Gu Qing Shan directly admitted.
Kitty smiled in understanding.
Seeing how up front he was without minding himself being weak, she felt easy talking to him.
Dinner was over.
The brother and sister were still a bit unsatisfied.
âItâs been so long since we last had such a good mealâ Barry sighed as he patted his bloated stomach.
Kitty on the other hand was attracted by something as her eyes were staring at a certain direction of space.
âWhat is it?â Barry asked.
âI feel something quite strong currently heading through the World Layers on our leftâ
âAre they debtors? Just lock the spatial coordinates and donât let them in like alwaysâ Barry spoke absentmindedly.
Kitty kept staring at space for a while before laughing.
âNot debtors, this time itâs a famous Purgatory devil, it had already destroyed over 3000 civilized worlds, currently heading into the World Layer zone connected to the clubâ she said.
âHah? Where did such good fortune come from? Does it not know me?â Barry was intrigued.
âMaybe it doesnât, or maybe itâs because thereâs a group of people chasing after itâ
âItâs likely to just be running amok randomlyâ
âDecide quickly, in that devilâs path is a world of an old friend of oursâ Kitty urged him.
Barry bumped his fists together, saying: âNothing to think about, I had a good meal and I can feel my strength recoveringâââ just in time for some after-meal exerciseâ
Seeing this attitude, Kitty took out a note and began to write something on it.
Her writing speed was impressive, but she was muttering something as she wrote.
âCame from the 5th layer of Purgatoryâ
âDevious, sly and evilâ
âRed skin, long ears, a fake eye, large bodyâ
âLikes using weapons to fight, Purgatory Magic already reached Grandmaster levelâ
âMost powerful ability isââ- hiding and assassinationâ
âKnown in the infinite worlds by the nickname: Terminatorâ
As she wrote that, the paper began to shine.
âDone!â Kitty called out.
âPut him into the clubâ as Barry said that, he turned and ran into the club.
Kitty quickly wrote one final line onto the paper.
âThis Devil came to the Justice Iron Fist club!â
Bang!
The paper exploded before disappearing without a trace.
At the same time, a loud crash could be heard from inside the club.
After the crash, a chilling cruel voice howled: âDamn it, what is this place? Who are you?â
Barryâs arrogant voice rang out: âInsect, listen well, I am the Iron Fist of Justice, Barry!â
âBarry? Which Barry?â
âSeems like you donât know meâ
âYou mental? Iâm leaving, quietly stay there and donât mess with meâ
âHang on, hang on, wait a minuteâ
âWhat?â
âWeâre going to get to know each otherâ
ââpow!!
Rumble rumble rumble!
Wave after wave of intense impact rang out from inside the club.
Despite all that, the club building itself was completely unharmed, not even a single brick was cracked or dislodged.
Gu Qing Shan tried listening.
The fighting was getting more and more intense, and it didnât seem like it was going to end any time soon.
Gu Qing Shan couldnât help but ask: âThis devil⊠do you know how strong it is?â
âWeâll know when that fight is overâ
Kitty was holding her bowl again, eating while answering him.
The food today was so good, I keep wanting seconds!
Gu Qing Shan wiped the cold sweat off his head and asked again: âArenât you afraid that the devil will be too strong and could threaten Barryâs life?â
Kitty absentmindedly answered: âHe canât die during a fight. And I have the clubâs spatial beacon, so I can throw that devil into any of the surrounding 300 million World Layers at any timeâ
Gu Qing Shan: ââŠâ
