“Lily’s so nice, she reminds me of Planta…” Said Acorn.
“They got similar personalities.” Said Nieve. “They’re both clumsy but heroic deep down. They care for others deeply and would do anything for them.”
“It seems Planta has made a good friend indeed. She will be a great addition to the team.” Said Titania.
“I agree, if she’s really a Brownie with the Geomancy Job Class, she’ll be useful for literally any role. She can deal good physical damage, be a good tank, do some decent magic damage, heal, and more. She’s incredibly flexible barring down her lack of agility and dexterity.” Said Titan while analyzing everything through a game-like perspective. “A-Ahem! But yeah, yeah, she’s a nice girl.”
He was slightly pressured by the rest of the party’s deadly glares to say something nice instead of just by gameplay standpoint.
“For now, how about you come to my house? I can quickly set up something for lunch.” Said the chief. “I think this is not done yet, right? We should discuss things a bit more.”
“Yeah, we would appreciate a place to stay for the night here, I guess.” I said. “We are players so we’ll go away once we want to rest but the rest that could stay here for good measure…”
“Sure, come in.” Said the chief.
Like that we decided to take the rest of the few hours in the chief’s house. The night had already fallen and the sky got all sparkly with stars. We ended spending a longer time than we imagined looking for Lily and all, it was probably rather late, and I didn’t wanted to stay playing until morning because I was going to wake up early tomorrow to go to my parent’s house.
It will be a bit chaotic because I’ll be bringing Mark with me, and Elena will bring Elisa and Anna… I don’t think I was able to invite Rita, she got her whole family to take care of so going away for half a week would be bad for her.
The house of the chief was a large mushroom house, it wasn’t anything big but he had some guest rooms. However, as he tried to bring out a table with chairs, I had already decided to bring them out myself from the Inventory. I had already created chairs, a table, and even several cooking utensils myself.
I swiftly put my Cooking Skill into my Subclasses slots, and even decided to make it Level 10 to improve my Cooking because why not. All other Skills get better at Level 10, and I like cooking the most as well.
Ding!
[You have exchanged 16 Skill Points]
[The [Cooking: Lv2] Skill Level has increased to Level 10!]

[Cooking: Lv10 (Max Level)]
Grants access to the ability to cook in-game. Real life abilities can be transferred to the game, however, as the level increases, the quality of your meals will also increase, and might even include special effects that grant temporary buffs to those that consume them.
Additionally, it grants the ability to detect ingredients for cooking and receive tips in-game about what could be cooked with what for the better and more perfect effects. Special ingredients cooked together will generate different effects in the food that can heal different things or grant special buffs.
Enhances the Quality of Cooked Food by +200% and doubles the Special Effects of Cooked Meals.

Oh wow! I should had done this earlier. Well, back then I was still kind of struggling with Skill Points, but now I got so many I am throwing them around at this point. I guess I have finally reached something close to “mid game” where I am freer in what I can do and customize.
Though I wonder if I can evolve the Skill? Taming and the other Summoning Skills didn’t seem to have any Evolution either. Will this be triggered in my next Evolution and Job Change, I wonder?
Well, whatever’s the case, I want to cook that delicious Drakon meat before doing anything else, I am starving myself!
“Amazing, you brought tables and chairs out of nowhere! A-And is this wine?! Oh, food as well?!” The chief was shocked as he saw recently baked bread, cheese, goat milk, and even meat over the table.
“We are making a big barbeque.” I said, quickly starting a fire with a Sunlight Spirit and radying a big grill I had constructed with the aid of the Mushroom Brigade.
“I want to help as well!” Said Lily.
“Sure! But do you have the Cooking Skill available?” I wondered.
“I can buy it!” Lily quickly got the Skill, as she started to help me cooking.
“Woah, this fantasy food is really something… this meat looks so delicious, what is it?” She wondered. 𝐞𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥．𝗰𝐨𝗺
“Drakon meat.” I said with a smile.
“D-Drakon?! The things we just killed?! They didn’t looked very edible to me…” Lily sighed.
“Trust me, most creatures in this world are all edible.” I said with a nod. “They drop tasty meat which is ready for the eating, sometimes livers, or other organs that can also be eaten or processed.”
“Ooohh… What’s this meat then?” She wondered.
“That’s… Snake Queen meat…” I said while whispering to her.
“O-Oh…” Lily muttered.
“I cannot just keep it saved all the time so we have to slowly eat it away or it’ll be a waste…” I said. “So help me out with cooking this with this, let’s make some grilled meat, some skewers, this and that…!”
Like that we boiled noodles, made some tomato sauce with grounded meat and tomatoes, onions, and garlic and a few other spices I bought from the fairy country, then we grilled meat, made some tasty skewers with only a bit of salt above, and more. I even made a meatloaf and some meatballs.
“And done! We’ve got a big meat feast for tonight! Let’s celebrate Lily’s addition with all we can eat meat!” I said, bringing everything into the table by extending my branches and using them like arms.
