Fatty's second choice was a "High-Energy Ion Scatterer" from the High-Energy Civilization.
This item was quite interesting; it looked like a soccer-sized sphere that utilized the user's Mental Strength as energy. It could transform into a combat form, and according to the Introduction, it consisted of one hundred and eight high-energy ion emitters. The specifics of its combat form would need to be tested in actual combat.
In any case, it looked impressive and cost Fatty 650 Hero Coins, which he bought after much hesitation.
"With this treasure, I will definitely stand out in the Warrior Examination! I’ll achieve a good score, and who knows, I might even get first place! Hehe..."
Staring at the Introduction image on the screen, Fatty squinted his eyes and smiled, nearly drooling.
As for the third item, it was a white crystal craft, about the size of a head, with an unusual shape. According to the Introduction, it had the effect of calming the mind and spirit. Placing it at home would benefit mental-type warriors.
Fatty did not intend to use the craft himself; he just thought it would sell well and could be exchanged for a good amount of Interstellar Coins. He spent his last 50 Hero Coins to buy it.
Fatty was truly calculating; he had spent all of his one thousand Hero Coins without holding back. He then laughed heartily while patting his belly and said to Lin Dao, "Brother, I've made my choices. It's your turn now!"
Lin shook his head. Fatty's calculations were always so loud. It was like when they went to buy snacks together; whenever Lin paid, Fatty would always buy things he usually wouldn't splurge on.
This habit probably couldn't be changed, just like Lin's own stubbornness that ran deep in his bones.
"I've already made my purchases. Just come by tomorrow morning to pick them up, and then we can head to the Warrior Exchange."
Lin had already planned out tomorrow's itinerary. If it weren't for needing to keep things from Fatty and creating the illusion that the Live Streaming company needed to send packages here, he would have wanted to go to the Warrior Exchange right now.
Fatty rubbed his hands together with a smile and eagerly agreed, "Alright! I'll come over early tomorrow morning, and then we can go to the Warrior Exchange together."
Afterward, Fatty shifted closer to Lin, causing the old sofa to creak under their weight. "Brother, you see... it's getting late. Can I have a meal at your place?"
Fatty's big eyes revealed a longing light; he hadn't tasted Lin's cooking for quite some time, and the hunger in his belly was already stirring!
Lin glanced at him, raised an eyebrow, and said, "The sun is still high; you're too early. I think you're just craving food, aren't you?"
"Hehe... Brother, you really understand me..." Fatty shamelessly grinned.
"Get back home and don't eat our rice! We don't welcome you here!"
Unexpectedly, Lin didn't give Fatty any chance and darkly chased him out the door.
"Brother! Brother! I'm not eating your rice; I just want some vegetables! I can get my own rice at home!"
Bang!
The old wooden door slammed shut. After pushing Fatty out, Lin didn't even listen to what he was shouting and turned back into the house.
After the door closed, Fatty didn't leave; he leaned against the window, short legs dangling as he clung to the windowsill, loudly shouting, "Brother, I really won't eat your rice!"
Bang!
Lin's mouth twitched as he slammed the window shut as well.
"..." Fatty was still shouting something, but Lin could no longer hear him.
Finally, the world fell silent.
Fatty also realized that the idea of mooching a meal today was impossible, and left in disappointment.
The room fell into silence as Lin threw himself heavily onto the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.
His eyes remained motionless, but his thoughts were racing, his mind constantly churning.
Different images flashed through his mind as he struggled to recall a remote dish from Earth, Herbal Cuisine.
Lin was a chef, and when faced with problems, his first instinct was to solve them as a chef.
This was a kind of occupational hazard, a habitual way of thinking.
What Lin needed to address now was to resolve his Weakened State; only by solving this issue could he continue with his plans.
Weakened State was a negative condition, simply understood as excessive physical consumption that could not withstand such burdens, leading to hidden injuries.
This kind of injury was akin to the "hidden ailments" left by Interstellar Warriors, which referred to internal injuries caused either by overtraining or by suffering significant damage in battles against formidable foes.
This condition did not present symptoms like an illness; it was often more challenging to resolve and typically required long periods of recuperation for recovery.
From Lin's current understanding, the technology on Azure Planet could not resolve such negative states in a short time. Even with medical intervention, one would need to travel far away...
Not to mention where such places might be located on which planet or how much treatment would cost; even reaching those places would take more than just ten days.
So, the medical approach is no longer feasible.
Apart from the medical method, he could choose Option One according to the System. In that case, the System would not be able to push him into a corner, and this issue should be resolved. It’s even possible that once Option One is completed, his body could immediately return to normal.
This is the System's plan, not Lin's idea. What he wants to do is go against the System's arrangements and not let anyone control him!
A rebellious spirit! Lin never wanted to be a puppet, not even once!
Thus, Lin thought of a method he learned about on Earth: Dietary Therapy, which involves dishes known as Herbal Cuisine.
Herbal Cuisine has ancient origins and a rich history. Fortunately, Lin's obsession with culinary research is nearly insane; he understands various aspects of it.
Although Lin has not thoroughly studied this field, he believes it could be the breakthrough point for his current difficulties.
Dietary Therapy essentially uses slow-acting medicinal properties to penetrate the body, providing long-term nourishment for ailments that cannot be treated with quick remedies or for strengthening and maintaining health.
This theory conflicts with the current time constraints; logically, Lin should not rely on this method to solve his problem.
However, now is the Great Star Sea Era, where various novel materials are being discovered. Some ingredients possess medicinal properties strong enough to significantly benefit Lin's body in just one meal, which is exactly what Lin is thinking.
He suddenly had an idea: by incorporating a powerful Material Treasure into a dish, he could maximize its medicinal effects. If he consumes it himself, it might resolve his current Weakened State.
Of course, before that, Lin has many preparations to make, starting with gathering the necessary materials. He already has specific ideas in mind.
In Herbal Cuisine, there was once a dish known for its astonishing effects during the Era of Earth; it was rumored to be highly nourishing—Turtle Soup.
Lin's envisioned Herbal Cuisine revolves around a precious "turtle" as the main ingredient, complemented by a nourishing Material Treasure, along with other ingredients to achieve a meal that revitalizes the body.
This may sound like a pipe dream; how could one meal possibly restore a nearly collapsing body? There are indeed intricacies involved...
The method Lin employs is fraught with risks...
Herbal Cuisine serves merely as an energy reserve; it requires an engine to activate the medicinal properties within the Herbal Cuisine. Through high-speed operation, it aims to achieve the effect of a revitalizing meal...
These are just Lin's preliminary thoughts. Before he can accomplish this, he needs to prepare extensively, such as obtaining materials from the Warrior Exchange, and also focusing on what he must do now: studying!
Times have changed drastically. Lin has only been on Azure Planet for three months, and his understanding of this place is still not thorough, especially regarding the endless sea of stars.
Thus, Lin urgently needs to supplement his knowledge to expand his understanding of ingredients, enabling him to create the best Herbal Cuisine.
Expanding knowledge typically requires experience, which takes time to accumulate. However, for Lin, it is incredibly simple!
What does Lin have? He has a System!
All the books within the System can be learned through two methods.
Method one is ordinary reading. Although this method is slow, it has its benefits, particularly for certain profound Martial Arts.
As the saying goes, "Old books are not tiresome to read a hundred times; deep reading leads to self-awareness." Learning Martial Arts is precisely like this—each time you finish reading, you may gain new insights, which serve as steps forward on your path as a warrior.
Method two is the most magical way of reading, which is the System's forced "input" method, similar to writing a program into a computer.
Just like Lin learned the Bone-Softening Palm and Left-Handed Blade, he only needs to click the "Use" button on the System interface to instantly master this book.
However, such learning always lacks something; without the process of reading, one may never grasp the soul of the book.
What Lin is about to employ is method two. He wants to learn the material knowledge from the Star Ocean instantly, just like he did with the Bone-Softening Palm!
Cooking, in this regard, requires reading to understand the basic properties of materials, but to truly create a good dish, one must continuously research, practice, and experiment.
Therefore, this learning method will not have much impact on Lin; his future growth as a chef will still rely on practical experience for improvement.
Flipping through the miscellaneous items in the System, Lin ultimately chose a book titled "Encyclopedia of Seventh-Level Civilization: Flora and Fauna."
This book from a highly advanced civilization is actually a comprehensive popular science book covering various plants and animals in the Star Ocean. It may be quite normal for life forms of the Seventh-Level Civilization, but for Lin, it serves as a quick way to understand the flora and fauna of the Star Ocean Era.
Not every creature in the Star Ocean is mentioned in this book, but it is no exaggeration to say that over ninety percent of them are included in the Seventh-Level Civilization encyclopedia.
That's enough. Once Lin understands these, he can interpret other things based on this knowledge and discern their true nature.
This book is also very cheap, costing only 10 Hero Coins, so Lin decisively purchased it.
He opened the Attribute Panel, clicked the "Use" button, and began his journey of knowledge expansion...
