Chapter 3, Military Garrison and the Pot Master
The recipe for military-style Guokui by Ling Chi is generally not much different from the modern military-style Guokui, but the ingredients used vary significantly
This recipe was created three months ago when an old general, returning to his hometown, stopped by this place. After tasting a dish that was completed to 100%, he fortuitously triggered a 2% conquest rate, resulting in its emergence
To upgrade culinary skills (by one small level), one must conquer 100 diners of the same level (the same person can be counted multiple times). To achieve a major level upgrade, 300 conquests are required. If one conquers diners across levels, only 10 conquests are needed. However, if one conquers diners of a lower level (which can only be one level lower; two levels lower is invalid), it requires 10,000 conquests.
Before the fight, save a few hundred in the Chef's space, just asking if you are afraid

It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang ordered General Jiang Wei to lead his troops to rest, cultivate the land, and train horses in the present-day Junle Town of Pengzhou, Sichuan, which is how the name "Jun Tun" (military garrison) originated. The modern Guokui is a gradual evolution of the military rations from that time.
At noon, customers line up in an endless stream in front of the Hero's Snack Bar to buy buns
As the last few meat buns were packed by one person, those standing behind sighed repeatedly, yet they merely complained a few times before dispersing.
Details determine success or failure. Why do different people produce different flavors when making the same dish? It is precisely due to the differences in details
... ...
To neglect the use of a powerful tool for upgrading is to invite divine retribution
In the past three months, Ling Chi's culinary skill level did not reach the advanced white level, and he was unable to master this recipe perfectly, achieving a maximum completion rate of only 45%. However, now that his culinary skills have improved, the essential aspects of this recipe that he previously could not comprehend are continuously emerging in his mind, giving him sufficient confidence to produce a military-style pot pie with a completion rate exceeding 60%
Not to mention a major level, even overcoming two minor levels holds no possibility of conquest
Controlling the cooking temperature requires extensive experience and exceptional talent. However, as long as the dimensions of the oven walls are perfectly crafted, many unnecessary troubles during the subsequent baking process will be significantly reduced
The dishes at Hero's Tavern are somewhat expensive, but the prices of the buns they offer are very affordable. Coupled with their delicious taste, and the fact that they are only served around lunchtime (11:00 AM to 1:00 PM), this results in a daily crowd forming in front of the establishment during this time, making it quite congested
Although winning against Ling Chi allows for free food and drink, the majority will ultimately not win. Moreover, both Ling Chi and Shuang Er need to eat and require income. Where does this income come from? It comes from these ordinary customers.
The cooling time, like the recipe, has a limit of ten days, while the success rate is somewhat different
Today, Ling Chi's culinary skills have just been elevated from ordinary white to advanced white, while Linghu Chong is already at the advanced white level. Previously, with a conquest rate of 1%, he had never been conquered, but now there is a 30% possibility.
The subtle differences in ingredient selection, material usage, preparation, and even heat control in this recipe for Jun Tun Guo Kui determine its significant distinction from ordinary Jun Tun Guo Kui
Ding, Jun Tun Guo Kui, completion rate 61%, qualified. Now beginning the technical summary ... ...
Unfortunately, this recipe can only restore stamina and energy, and cannot increase attributes. Fortunately, the values are still quite ideal; for the white high-grade Lingchi, consuming two military-style Guokui can fully restore all stamina and energy
Each time a production is completed, the system will summarize the imperfections encountered during the process, assisting in continuous modifications and improvements until a completion rate of 100% is achieved
"Master Brother, please keep an eye on the sword." Seeing Ling Chi and Shuang Er so busy that they didn't even have time to wipe their sweat, Yue Ling Shan hurriedly took off the sword and went to help.
However, if the completion rate of the recipe reaches 100%, the conquest rate among diners of the same level can reach 50%, and the success rate for each higher level will also increase to 2
Where. "Ling Chi smiled and waved his hand: 'As a mere cook, how could I dare to compare myself with Master Yue.'"
The buns were sold out by noon, and the work for regular customers is basically finished for today. The remaining time is spent either cleaning or preparing the ingredients for the next day in advance

Additionally, prepare a new recipe featuring high-end white dishes for Linghu Chong to enjoy
Of course, this is the opposite sex, and those conquered same-sex diners will harbor an immense trust for Ling Chi deep within their hearts, even to the extent that they are likely to confide in him about some private matters that cannot be spoken of to others
The buns are sold out today, please come early tomorrow
The dropped recipe provides detailed information not only about the required ingredients but also about the types of kitchenware to be used and the techniques to be employed. Additionally, there is a dynamic display through 3D holographic projection, offering step-by-step instruction. Lingchi only needs to follow the instructions to create the most perfect dish in the shortest amount of time
Conquest is just that terrifying
Additionally, after the level increase, the conquest rate of Yue Lingshan, this ordinary white guest, has risen from 30% to 99%
Good wine! Truly good wine!
Thank you, Sister Shuang'er. Yue Ling Shan smiled as she took the damp towel, wiping the fragrant sweat from her face and neck, and said: I thought practicing martial arts was hard enough, but I didn't expect selling buns to be this difficult
As long as Ling Chi does not use recipes of a level lower than that of Yue Ling Shan, he will almost certainly be conquered. However, if Ling Chi's culinary skills are two minor levels higher than those of Yue Ling Shan, combined with recipes of the same level as Yue Ling Shan, the success rate will be an absolute 100 percent
... ...
However, there is also a cooldown period and success rate for conquering diners
Lingchi has a high-end white menu - Jun Tun Guokui
The most notable characteristic is that Yue Lingshan now has an astonishing level of affection for Ling Chi. Even if Ling Chi were to propose marriage to her, she would not hesitate in the slightest.
First and foremost, considerable thought must be devoted to the construction of the oven
The origin of Jun Tun Guo Kui can be described as having a long history
However, the term "level jumping" here refers to "lower levels," rather than the higher levels where white can conquer blue and blue can conquer purple
Each guokui must be heated evenly, and the size requirements are very strict
"Diligence does not support the lazy." Ling Chi was washing the steamer with well water and said with a smile, "Moreover, who in this world is not working hard? Farmers till the land, craftsmen do their work, scholars diligently study the classics, and warriors practice their skills; each has their own difficulties."
Brother Ling speaks excellently. Yue Ling Shan's beautiful eyes brightened, and she said with a hint of admiration: Father cannot articulate such reasoning.
When facing diners of the same level, using culinary skills of the same level, and recipes with a completion rate exceeding 60%, the success rate is only 30%. The conquest rate for each higher level drops to an astonishingly low 1%.
Seeing the junior apprentice sister leave, Linghu Chong chuckled softly, secretly took a pot of wine, and poured himself a drink with a satisfied expression.
Two hours later, when Ling Chi placed the ten completed military-style Guokui on the tray, a notification sound echoed in his mind
Sister Ling Shan, you have worked hard, please wipe your sweat!" Shuang Er obediently presented a damp towel in front of Yue Ling Shan.
After an hour of hard work, Yue Ling Shan was already drenched in sweat, but a beautiful girl is different; even her sweat is fragrant
... ...
The construction of the furnace walls is a technical task, as the final step of roasting the military-style pot cake must be conducted from within the furnace walls
Conquest, in this context, refers to rendering the diners' appetites utterly defenseless against Ling Chi's culinary skills. In order to savor the delicacies crafted by Ling Chi, they are willing to do anything for him, as long as it does not violate their fundamental principles.
