Dishes were served one after another, with no interval exceeding a minute, which was the result calculated by Lin through Astrology.
In the past, Lin could never have managed to cook stir-fried dishes, soups, and steamed dishes so precisely, especially not for the first time preparing these types of dishes together.
Now, the enhanced predictive ability of Astrology allowed Lin to achieve significant progress in his culinary skills.
Although Lin was quite surprised by the new effects of Astrology, he had no time to study them in detail because all the dishes were already ready.
"Here comes the last dish, Seasonal Vegetable Pearl Soup!"
With Lin's shout, he brought a steaming bowl made of Blue and White Porcelain to the table. The steam from each dish intertwined and rose, filling the air with delicious aromas.
Dream Source and Xing Shifang sat at the dining table like well-behaved children. Dream Source's eyes were glued to the dishes, while Xing Shifang was even worse, mouth agape and drooling.
When Lin sat down and saw their eager expressions, he chuckled, "You two don't need to be polite; go ahead and taste it."
Upon hearing this, the two lost all restraint and began to eat heartily. Lin wanted to ask how it tasted, but only Xing Shifang managed to give a thumbs up after struggling to get out a "good."
With their mouths stuffed full of food, there was no time for conversation with Lin Xian. In front of such tempting delicacies, these two foodies clearly had no resistance.
Aside from Xing Shifang and Dream Source, there were also three others—Edible and two beasts—who joined in on the feast. Lin served them some dishes as well so they could indulge.
The eating power of these two humans and two beasts at the dining table was astonishing; within just over an hour, they finished all the dishes Lin had prepared.
After eating and drinking their fill, both of them slumped back in their chairs, with Dream Source and Xing Shifang rubbing their round bellies.
At this moment, Xing Shifang finally had time to praise him. "Bro, this is truly one of the best meals I've ever had. Thinking about it, I've only eaten such delicious food a few times..."
"Only a few times? Oh? So you know someone with exceptional culinary skills?"
This topic piqued Lin's interest. Since arriving in the Star Sea, he had yet to encounter a truly skilled chef. He was actually looking forward to having a worthy opponent to compete with.
"This, back in the day, my grandfather really enjoyed fine dining. I followed him to many places and met quite a few Eighth-Level Chefs and Ninth-Level Chefs. My brother's craftsmanship can hold its own against them..."
Hearing this from Xing Shifang, Lin narrowed his eyes and asked, "So compared to the Eighth-Level Chef and Ninth-Level Chef, I still have some shortcomings. Could you tell me where I fall short?"
"Shortcomings, well... it's in various aspects. From presentation to the essence of the flavors, there are differences. The dishes from a Ninth-Level Chef leave a deep impression; after eating, you often find yourself lost in thought. But back then, I couldn't quite remember everything..."
As Xing Shifang spoke, Lin's expression grew increasingly grim. He realized that Xing Shifang was indicating that he had deficiencies in many areas and that he still had a long way to go to reach the heights of the Ninth or Tenth Level.
Lin's face turned ashen. Even the straightforward Xing Shifang noticed something was off. He suddenly stopped, awkwardly scratched his head, glanced at Lin You and Dream Source, and explained, "Brother, you're still young. I believe that with more practice, you'll become a great chef!"
Seeing Xing Shifang's awkward demeanor, Lin shook his head and chuckled lightly. He understood that the culinary world was vast and that his experience was just a drop in the ocean. As Xing Shifang said, he still needed more training.
He also hoped that this school would take culinary arts seriously and hire a teacher who could help him, so he wouldn't have to stumble around like a headless chicken anymore.
At this point, continuing the topic would only lead to more awkwardness. Lin stood up with a smile and asked the two, "Would you like some Plum Soup? I just made some."
"Yes, I want to drink it!" Dream Source exclaimed loudly, as if her stomach could never be full. Xing Shifang also nodded gently, his face breaking into a genuine smile again.
The atmosphere returned to harmony as the three continued discussing their evaluations of the previous dishes and interacting with the audience.
As they talked on, however, the audience's interest began to wane. After all, the cooking and tasting processes were over; they were just chatting now, and viewer engagement was starting to decline significantly.
Lin realized that dragging this out wasn't a good sign. While longer Live Streaming sessions might seem beneficial, it was essential to ensure quality as well. If they filled time with meaningless content for too long, it could harm the Streamer's reputation and lead to unpredictable negative consequences over time.
At this point, Lin was preparing to end the Live Streaming session. Before doing so, he needed to address an issue he had postponed for quite some time: the Streamer Recruitment Order.
Since the Streamer Recruitment Order began two months ago, over a hundred thousand people had signed up for it without Lin Yi having filtered through any of them yet.
This is the promotion task for the platform and the cornerstone for realizing the large-scale Live Streaming. Lin must complete it in a timely manner to allow the platform to develop faster, and he himself can also progress more quickly.
“Gentlemen, we have a problem that has been unresolved for a long time, which is the issue of the Streamer Recruitment Order. We still have two slots available here, and the officials have been urging me to conduct the selection as soon as possible. I will provide an answer regarding these two slots; we will add two new Streamers. For those who wish to apply, please do so quickly.”
After announcing this news, Lin bid farewell to the audience and closed the Live Streaming.
At this point in time, the moon was high in the sky, and the Crimson and Azure Moons emitted an enchanting charm, adding an extraordinary beauty to the already mysterious night sky.
The three said their goodbyes and agreed to meet again tomorrow, then each returned home.
Exhausted, Lin Ye felt very tired. He dragged his weary body into a cold shower, hoping to refresh himself, but even after washing up, the fatigue still overwhelmed him.
In the end, Lin could not resist this fatigue. After drifting for more than two months, life suddenly became easy. Even someone as resilient as Lin could not withstand the allure of this “gentle haven.”
The moonlight was just right; the two colors of moonlight separated in the middle of the room, shining through the large floor-to-ceiling window. Shitou quietly turned off the light and looked back with a sense of helplessness.
He saw Lin lying on the sofa, still wearing a bathrobe, with wet hair that had not been dried. He was holding a cookbook and had already fallen asleep.
Listening to that long breath, three shrank back into their shells. Edible stealthily returned to the Destruction Nest, while Shitou gently landed on the table, still murmuring.
“Sleep well, sleep well, you little rascal. After being tired for so long, you deserve some rest.”
