Demon hunter's Cooking Manual

Jason swiftly adapted to the changes brought by the entry-level "Griffin Body Refinement Technique."

When everything had settled, Jason did not continue to enhance the "Griffin Body Refinement Technique," which required 16 points of satiety and 1 point of the "Excitement of Feast."

His current goal was to save as much "Excitement of Feast" as possible and improve skills that only required satiety.

Among them, secret techniques were naturally the first choice.

"Mist Concealment," "Flash Technique," and "Charge!"

These three skills naturally appeared in Jason's eyes.

"Upgrade the three skills to the point where the use of 'Excitement of Feast' is needed."

Warmth from the satiety turned into waves flowing from his stomach, pouring into his heart, and Jason's breath began to climb steadily.

"Mist Concealment (Proficient): This is a secret technique that does not require gestures but needs a certain proficiency level in Dufol Language as a foundation. It was initially spread among several secretive forces but eventually became one of the 'Tomb Guardian's' secret techniques; Effect: Creates a 45-meter radius fog, granting a +1 to Stealth checks and a +0.4 to Agile checks while within it, the effects disappear upon leaving the fog; creating the fog consumes some Physical Strength, and a continuous consumption of Physical Strength is required to maintain it."

(Note: Learning 'Mist Concealment' does not require Proficiency Level in Dufol Language, but when you learn it from a scroll, you need Proficiency Level in Dufol Language to understand its 'structure'.)

...

"Flash Technique (Expert): To complete it, you only need a simple syllable of Dufol Language along with two gestures, making it an entry-level secret technique for many schools and forces. It has also gradually become a test; however, few have raised it above the Proficiency Level; Effect: Consumes a small amount of Physical Strength to create a dazzling bright light in the hand, causing blindness damage to creatures within a 5-meter radius that rely on sight."

...

"Flash Technique upgraded to Proficiency Level, acquired inherent proficiency option: Dazzle."

"Dazzle: Not only can you create a brilliant light in your hands, but you can also do it with other parts of your body, with the same Physical Strength consumption as releasing it from your hands."

...

"Charge (Proficient): This is a secret technique that requires no gestures or understanding of Dufol Language to learn, but it does require a solid physical foundation; originally circulated among many forces, it eventually became one of the mandatory secret techniques chosen by warriors and knights in military camps, and long-term training has made your physique increasingly robust; Effect: Consumes a certain amount of Physical Strength to charge forward 10-30 meters at a temporary +0.5 agility speed, with Physique +0.1 (Proficient)."

(Note: This is the most basic version of the secret technique, and the stronger the body, the more powerful the 'Charge' can be.)

...

Continual skill enhancements kept Jason in a state of bodily finetuning.

This time it lasted longer.

About 30 seconds or so.

When Jason opened his eyes again, he had 98 points of satiety left, with the following expenditures:

"Mist Concealment" entry-level 9 points of satiety, proficient 18 points of satiety.

"Flash Technique" entry-level 2 points, proficient 3 points, expertise 4 points, expert 5 points.

"Charge" entry-level 5 points, proficient 10 points.

Without a doubt, "Flash Technique" once again proved its cost-effectiveness.

Because, even to the Master level, it only required 6 points of satiety and 1 point of "Excitement of Feast."

"Would you like to consume 'Excitement of Feast' and continue to upgrade?"

The sense of fulfillment from the skill level increase made Jason involuntarily think.

After all, whether it's the 'Griffin series' skills or other similar ones like "Charge" and "Mist Concealment," including "Barehanded Combat" and "Firearms. Light Weapons," as long as "Excitement of Feast" is consumed, they can bring more attributes.

But Jason soon shook his head.

"Protection Against Evil" is fundamental!

"Protection Against Evil" is core!

Without a stronger "Protection Against Evil," I would be powerless against Bizarre entities!

Jason was reminding himself of this in his heart.

Then, he chose to upgrade "Riding Skill" by one level.

With a cost of 2 points of satiety.

"Riding Skill (Proficient): With long-term training, you know not only how to manage a horse but also have quite a lot of practical operation. Your proficient riding skill allows you to sit firmly on horseback and perform some fancy techniques, but you need to control the horse's speed while doing these tricks."

The next level of "Riding Skill," 'Expertise,' required 4 points of satiety and 1 point of "Excitement of Feast."

Very normal.

However...

Jason silently glanced at "Flash Technique," then silently shifted his gaze away.

There was no contempt.

After all, it was still a secret technique.

Still one of the important measures of the 'Mystical Side.'

Yes, very important.

Jason was adding in his heart.

Then, after one more glance at the remaining 96 points of satiety, Jason did the math seriously:

"I have 32 lives left."

Having reached his conclusion, Jason looked at Hannibal, whose complexion was slightly fatigued yet filled with excitement.

He did not sit down again.

Instead, he stood up and walked around the dining table.

Then...

He bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Hannibal had shared his stored 'food' with him, which was enough to make Jason feel grateful.

If he did not know that ordinary money could not measure the value of 'food,' Jason would have offered every penny he had.

Money was not an option.

Other things, however, could be.

Jason began to ponder in his heart.

But, that did not prevent him from thanking Hannibal in advance.

"It is my honor to serve you,"

Hannibal rolled down the sleeves of his shirt, which he had pulled up to his elbows for convenience in cooking, and then he bowed in return.

When Hannibal stood upright again, the psychiatrist revealed a smile.

He felt very pleased in his heart.

What could be happier than cooking 'food' to one's content?

Naturally, it is seeing the consumer of 'food' eat up everything cleanly.

This gave Hannibal a sense of pride and satisfaction in his heart.

"You can go upstairs and rest first, I'll clean up here and then follow,"

Hannibal pointed to the array of dishes around.

"I'll help,"

Jason volunteered conscientiously.

Outside of the restaurant, it was customary to wash dishes after eating someone else's cooking.

However, Hannibal shook his head seriously.

"As a king,"

"You need not concern yourself with these matters."

"Please leave it to me," Find more adventures on m-v|-NovelBin.net

Hannibal said, and gestured again for Jason to go upstairs.

Jason looked into Hannibal's earnest eyes and ultimately chose to compromise.

He did not wish to have any dispute with Hannibal over something trivial like washing dishes.

Sitting on the floor of the living room, Jason sipped the green tea Hannibal had brewed, waiting quietly.

This wait was not long.

After about half an hour, Hannibal, who had washed the dishes and changed into a fresh set of pure white shirt and black trousers, came upstairs.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting,"

Hannibal said politely.

Jason waved his hand and asked bluntly:

"Cecil..."

"His death has nothing to do with me, the 'Ghost Squad' did it,"

"Those guys are like my 'food' suppliers,"

"We do some cooperation,"

Hannibal didn't wait for Jason to finish his question and explained everything straightforwardly.

Jason nodded slightly.

Most of Hannibal's answers matched his guesses.

Then, he adjusted his sitting position and asked:

"Do you know where 'Mika' is?"
