The Rise Of Otaku - Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Chapter 135 god-like speed and confusion

After all, it was all about personal interest. Every day, chopping ingredients in the kitchen, practicing his cooking skills, not only did Zhou Yu not feel bored, but he even enjoyed it a bit. Of course, it was under the premises that there was a good master to teach him and ensure the success of learning, otherwise, he also would not like to practice something that he would not be able to master. Just like before, although Zhou Yu could find things like recipes on the Internet, he was still not good at cooking.

Kaka was obviously a good cook, with it, even if Zhou Yu’s cooking talent was not high, it would not be any problems for him to cook something delicious later on. That was why Zhou Yu was able to continue the practice. However, he, who didn’t have high EQ, did not realize that his actions had caused great pressure to the staff in the kitchen of Tung Fook mansion.

Only after Zhou Yu finished cutting all the vegetables, was he called out by Zhou Fu, and did the kitchen staff heave a sigh of relief and start to cook meals for other employees.

Finding a private room, Zhou Fu began to ask Zhou Yu the reason for his unusual behavior. “Boy Yu, what are you doing in the kitchen recently? You made the staff here very nervous.”

Zhou Yu was also puzzled. He was just there to practice his knife skills, why did they make it look like a boss was inspecting his workers? Because he never regarded himself as the boss of this park, so far he still thought that he was just an Otaku.

After Zhou Fu carefully explained his employees’ concerns, Zhou Yu finally understood what happened. So his employees were really scared of him.

“Nothing serious. I just want to practice my cooking skills. But it’s still my fault that I didn’t make myself clear at the beginning. Well, I’ll tell them in a moment. I’ll be a kitchen porter for a while, so during this period of time, I’ll be responsible for cutting all the ingredients.”

‘Cooking? And he wants to keep doing it?’ Zhou Fu originally thought that boy Yu was just doing it for fun, but he didn’t expect, that he really wanted to work in the kitchen for a while.

Although it was a bit ridiculous that the boss of the park did not want to do his job but want to be a cook, Zhou Fu had to accept it because once boy Yu made his decision, it was very hard for him to change it. It took him a lot of effort to change his mind and let the TV crew in, he didn’t want to waste his energy on this trivial matter.

After confirming it several times, Zhou Fu told chubby Li the truth of the matter, asked him not to think too much, and just to treat Zhou Yu as an apprentice. Of course, this apprentice was a bit special, he could do what he wanted. He could not really regard him as an apprentice, but just pretend that he was one. Anyway, probably he would give up soon.

After the explanation, Zhou Fu set out to do something important. The fantasy city project, the corporation with TV stations, and all kinds of business matters that he would need to arrange for the release of the dragon’s treasure, made Zhou Fu very busy. But, Zhou Fu clearly enjoyed this kind of business.

With the personalities of Zhou Fu and Zhou Yu completed each other, and everyone had their own responsibilities, this partnership worked out pretty well.

Chubby Li obviously did not expect that the truth would be so absurd, but he could only accept it. But in his heart, he still hoped that the little boss would lose interest very soon. Otherwise, the kitchen would not have a peaceful day.

However, God clearly did not hear Chubby Li’s prayer, the little boss still arrived on time every day, and continued to cut vegetables for a month without having any signs of stopping.

Gradually, everyone got used to the little boss. Although he wasn’t that talkative, he wasn’t bossing people around either. If you exclude the title of the little boss, he was only an introverted young man.

After getting used to it, Chubby Li also dared to make jokes and told the staff that the ingredients were cut by the little boss himself, so they had to eat more. Some people did not believe it, so chubby Li showed the video that he had taken using his mobile phone.

Then this news began to spread fast in the park.

“Boss became a kitchen porter!”

As the old saying goes, a good deed goes unnoticed, but bad news travels fast. Some employees even went to the Tong Fook mansion to take a look personally. After all, this was an extremely rare sight.

In the beginning, Zhou Yu’s work was pretty bad. After all, he was used to cutting ingredients randomly. When he just started practicing his knife skill, naturally he would be struggling. Moreover, he would be constantly criticized by Kaka. The other employees, who were also responsible for cutting some other ingredients, had already finished their work, but he only managed to cut a small pile of ingredients, and it was rated as failing to meet the satisfactory standard by Kaka.

However after a month’s “hard practice”, his knife skill advanced rapidly. It could be said that he was no longer a newbie. His cutting movements on the kitchen counter was now very smooth, and it looked very skillful. Although the practice of knife work was not tiring, it was really very hard to endure all kinds of criticisms from Kaka.

But chubby Li was very surprised. He was watching Zhou Yu from the first day he started to cut ingredients in the kitchen. It could be said that he was a total newbie at that time. However, he did not know what happened, the mistakes that the little boss made during cutting miraculously corrected little by little, and later on he was even able to cut vegetables in many patterns as if an invisible master was teaching him.

And in terms of his skill now?

If it was just comparing the knife skill alone, chubby Li believed that Zhou Yu’s skill was comparable to his.

Thinking of this, Chubby Li had a strong sense of crisis. With just a month, the little boss was able to acquire such a skill, and he acquired it by self-leaning, it made him very envious.

Zhou Yu himself could also feel the improvement of his knife skills, which also surprised himself. To be fair, he didn’t consider himself a learning genius, and even with a professional chef from the real world as his mentor, he didn’t think that he would be able to reach the current level.

With just a month of practice, he would make a chef, with level 3 chef certificate, feel a sense of crisis? It sounded so unrealistic.

However, the unrealistic thing still happened. The proficient knife skill was smoothly performed by Zhou Yu’s hands. He could even carve carrots into flowers. This kind of thing would be impossible in the past.

Was it because of his learning ability had been optimized by the ACG world?

But it also didn’t seem quite right. Before, he had also learned carpentry from the beaver and stone carving from the stonemason monkey for a while. However, even until now, he was still at the elementary level. His junior Wu Yun had already started the intermediate level course, but he still had no improvement. In this sense, his learning ability had not been optimized.

Similarly, he had been catching beasts for more than a year, but his physical ability was just better than ordinary people, which was just like those ordinary people who had been trained. It didn’t make him become a superman.

‘Does it mean that I really have the talent to become a cook?’

After slightly immersing himself in the happiness of having this kind of talent for a while, Zhou Yu shook his head and denied this possibility. Then he began to look up the “game diary”, hoping that he could find the reason why his cooking skills could be advanced so rapidly.

The so-called “game diary” was a small feature after the eyes of the ACG was leveled up. It was a book in the lower right corner of his sight. If he opened it, he would be able to see the important things he had done in the past, that were also related to the ACG world. It was just like a diary.

Because it was updated automatically, Zhou Yu didn’t pay much attention to it. But when something went wrong, it might provide some clues.
