Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After settling his differences with Xu Xiaolan, An Lin was ecstatic as he made his way back to his dorm while humming a happy tune.
Xiao Hong, Da Bai, and Xiao Chou all gathered around An Lin with nervous expressions.
“Big Brother An? Did you get her back?” Da Bai could see that An Lin appeared to be in quite a good mood as he was humming on the way through the door, but only the gods knew if it was because he had been rejected and the shock had turned him crazy, so Da Bai decided to ask in order to verify An Lin’s mood.
An Lin raised his fist with a smile. “Of course, success was the only possible outcome from the moment I decided to visit her in person!”
His words were immediately met with excited cheers.
The three beast pets were so ecstatic that tears were flowing down their faces. They knew that they would be able to eat the first batch of food cooked in the frying pan the next day!
The next day, An Lin made egg fried rice with the frying pan again. However, he was more strategic this time, and he piled the frying pan full of egg and rice in order to maximize the amount he could make in one batch.
Xiao Chou, Da Bai, and Xiao Hong all shed tears after eating the egg fried rice.
It was so f*cking delicious!
An Lin also carefully tasted the egg fried rice to find that it didn’t actually taste as good as the first time, but it was still extremely delicious.
The day after that, An Lin used the frying pan to steam some stuffed buns.
He piled up a hundred bamboo steamers onto his frying pan in one go!
When he placed the frying pan outside to steam the buns, the steamers were piled up higher than the height of the dorm buildings, creating quite the spectacle for students passing by.
Xu Xiaolan was clenching her stomach with laughter. She had never seen someone steam buns in such an outlandish way.
Xuanyuan Cheng expressed his confusion as well and could only attribute it to An Lin’s extreme appetite.
Su Qianyun stared at the towering pile of steamers and smacked her lips as she explained the importance of the quality over quantity.
In the face of everyone’s quizzical expressions, An Lin didn’t utter a word of explanation. Instead, he gave them all a mysterious, meaningful look.
When the stuffed buns were ready, his cooking skills would become renowned all throughout the university!
The stuffed buns were finally ready after two hours.
An Lin bit down on one eagerly to find that the flavor was significantly inferior to the egg fried rice, but these were still extremely delicious stuffed buns and he simply couldn’t stop eating once he started!
An Lin was beginning to understand how this frying pan worked. First, the frying pan could enhance the flavor of the first dish cooked each day, and this improvement factor appeared to be a set value. This meant that, for example, if he was to steam ten steamers of buns, the enhancement effect would be ten times more than if he had steamed a hundred steamers as he did today!
However, this didn’t necessarily mean that the stuffed buns from only ten steamers would be ten times more delicious than the stuffed buns from a hundred steamers as there was still a base value of flavors that one had to take into account. For example, 10 + 10 and 10 + 100, there was only roughly five times the difference between the flavors.
Or for example, if one chose to cook sh*t, the base flavor value would be too low, so it wouldn’t be delicious no matter how much the flavor was enhanced by the frying pan, thereby eliminating the possibility of cooking delicious sh*t. However, if he was to use the tastiest ingredients in conjunction with his frying pan, he would be able to cook the tastiest dishes in the world!
An Lin looked at the frying pan and the smile on his face wouldn’t go away no matter how he repressed it. The vision of a bright future was once again taking shape before his eyes.
I’ll definitely become the Culinary King!
After the stuffed buns were ready, An Lin delivered a steamer to Xu Xiaolan first.
Xu Xiaolan ate the stuffed buns silently before making a request with a gleam in her eyes. “Didn’t you steam a hundred steamers? Give me four more!”
An Lin was naturally quite happy to do so, and he gave Xu Xiaolan four more steamers, laughing heartily all the while. “Who was it that was laughing at my bun-steaming method just then? Do you know how awesome I am now?”
Xu Xiaolan ignored An Lin and continued munching on stuffed buns…
He then gave another steamer of stuffed buns to Xuanyuan Cheng.
After Xuanyuan Cheng took a bite of his first steamed bun, he finally understood why An Lin decided to steam a hundred steamers. This wasn’t a matter of appetite anymore; the buns were simply far too delicious to the extent that he felt like he could eat a hundred steamers of these stuffed buns in succession!
After that, he gave a steamer of stuffed buns to Su Qianyun.
Su Qianyun had never eaten such delicious stuffed buns, and she almost choked on one as she wolfed them down. She then shyly requested two more steamers of stuffed buns and praised An Lin for being a culinary genius before asking him to teach her how they were made.
An Lin turned down her request as this involved secret techniques which he couldn’t pass on.
However, he was happy to give Su Qianyun two more steamers before sending her on her way.
He loved seeing everyone being won over by his stuffed buns, it was a great feeling!
An Lin still hadn’t had enough of that feeling yet, and he continued to deliver stuffed buns to people.
“Zong Yongyan, I’m here to deliver some stuffed buns to you.”
“Big Brother An, you came to my place just to deliver stuffed buns?”
“Hehe, how dare you look down on my stuffed buns? Have a taste first!”
“Hmm… This flavor, its fragrance erupts like a delightful geyser, it’s oily but not greasy, it’s crispy and sumptuous, it’s… F*ck! There are no idioms I could use to describe my emotions, these are too f*cking delicious! ”
“Do you dare to look down on my stuffed buns now?”
“No, Big Brother An, I was wrong, you are a Chef God. Do you have any more, I still want more!”
“Nope, goodbye!”
An Lin waved his hands and left amid the sound of anguished cries from Zong Yongyan.
He went to Miao Tian’s place. Miao Tian told him her breasts were too small and she needed nutrients to grow, so she forced him into giving her two more steamers.
He then went to Sun Shenglian’s place. Sun Shenglian told him her breasts were too big and she required too much energy to maintain them, so she also forced him into giving her one more steamer.
Next, he went to Luo Ziping’s place. Luo Ziping didn’t have any good excuses so he could only latch onto An Lin’s leg and beg for an extra steamer of stuffed buns. An Lin obviously wasn’t going to refuse such a plain and simple plea, so he obliged and gave him another steamer.
An Lin felt like he was getting addicted to delivering stuffed buns and he also paid a visit to Liu Dabao.
Liu Dabao was flabbergasted after eating the steamed buns and offered to pay a hundred spirit stones per steamer for ten extra steamers!
Liu Dabao’s words opened up another whole new world for An Lin, and he suddenly knew how he was going to become rich again.
As a gesture of gratitude, he sold ten steamers of stuffed buns at five hundred spirit stones per steamer to Liu Dabao!
This was because… An Lin had initially planned to sell his stuffed buns for a thousand spirit stones per steamer and this was already a half-price deal!
An Lin then visited Zhao Huaiyin. Zhao Huaiyin sighed with emotion as he ate, and he finally understood why Da Bai wanted to be An Lin’s beast pet. If this was the food An Lin was serving him every day, he wouldn’t mind swapping places with Da Bai to become An Lin’s beast pet himself.
After that, the young sorceress ditched her games to focus wholeheartedly on savoring the stuffed buns.
Tang Ximen rediscovered hope in his life after tasting the stuffed buns.
Yi Xi was also inspired by the stuffed buns. He discovered that immortal pills should be like stuffed buns. Not only did they need to have practical usage, but they also needed to be delicious as well; only then could the immortal pills become a mainstream passion for the masses to pursue…
An Lin then gave every one of his classmates a steamed bun each, with each steamer containing ten stuffed buns.
When the students asked for more, An Lin would tell them that he was going to bring out a new batch to sell the next day and students who were interested could purchase them from him the following morning.
Thus, news of this slowly made its way through the entire school…
“Hey, have you heard, God An is going to be selling stuffed buns in the university!”
“What? Sell stuffed buns? Are you sure, what is he planning to achieve?”
“He’s just solely selling stuffed buns. I heard from an upperclasswoman that his stuffed buns were extremely delicious!”
“Really? I don’t have anything to do recently anyway so have to give it a try, do you know where he’s selling the stuffed buns?”
“I’ve heard he was selling them at the main gate to the third-year dorms.”
…
“Did you guys hear, An Lin is planning to sell stuffed buns!”
“My God! He’s been acting strange ever since the free-for-all battle, and now he’s selling stuffed buns! Did the divine lightning kill all his brain cells?”
“Let’s go have a look and support his business. After all, he’s been having a rough time lately.”
…
“Ahhhh, Senior An Lin is selling stuffed buns made by him personally, I have to go buy some!”
“Me too, me too! He’s my idol, I have to support him!”
…
Thus, An Lin’s stuffed buns soon stirred up a huge sensation within the entire school. Almost all the students in the school were discussing his stuffed buns.
An Lin finally came home while panting heavily after a hard day of delivering stuffed buns.
Da Bai, Xiao Chou, and Xiao Hong were all waiting impatiently for him, and they immediately tried all their tricks to please An Lin has he walked through the door.
An Lin had never seen such a warm and enthusiastic Xiao Hong, such a clever and obedient Da Bai, nor such an adorably ugly Xiao Chou… And he was able to see all this because of his new secret weapon, the frying pan!
There were over thirty steamers of buns that had remained undelivered and all of them appeared in his dorm room from his storage ring.
The three beast pets and An Lin began a frenzied feast, and the sound of their raucous cheers caused the whole dorm building to tremor and quake.
A new day arrived, and An Lin’s stuffed bun shop was officially open for business!
