Chapter 58: Guru Spices Successor

'Is this the test?' ZhenZhen asked herself inwardly while digesting the question. What would she do if she was in Cook Fiona's situation? The answer was she did not know since she was never in that position. However, that was not the answer Cook Fiona sought after, at least not that passive answer.

But this was too weird for a test too since the answer for each individual would be different. She could say that she would make the same choice as Cook Fiona did in the past, but that was too false for the answer.

What did Cook Fiona try to find from her answer? Did she have any regrets? Why would she ask this to her?

'Yes, I have to figure out her intention of asking me this question.' ZhenZhen realized something as she thought about it, 'She asked me this question to find what kind of person I am. She wants to know about me, she is not seeking something from my answer. Stupid Luo Zhen Zhen. You almost made a fatal mistake.'

'Since Cook Fiona wants to know about me, I will just give her my honest answer,' with that thought in her mind, she was ready to give her answer.

"To be honest, I don't know what I would do if I was in your position back then. But I am sure that exploring an unknown giant crevice would be my last choice." ZhenZhen replied earnestly.

"Hohoho Why is it the last choice? You don't care about being 'slaved' by the city lord?" Cook Fiona asked with an intrigued expression. She showed that she was interested in ZhenZhen's answer.

'Yeay, it seems it is a pass for me,' ZhenZhen cheered up inwardly while putting a poker face outwardly, "Simple! If I choose to explore the unknown giant crevice, the chance of me losing my life is bigger. I don't want to throw away my life, at least not until I achieve all my dreams. If I die that means I lose to the evil city lord. My choice will be to stay and become the Royal Cook."

Cook Fiona smiled while nodding her head, "Your dreams? You have more than one dream, what is one of them?"

"Cooking the Dragon Meat!" Her answer was the same as saying she wanted to cook dinosaur meat. Both were impossible to get as no one had seen a Dragon. The dragon was just a myth, but it was never wrong to have a dream.

"What an ambition!" Exclaimed Cook Fiona while clapping her hands.

Before talking about cooking dragon meat, she had to find the dragon first. Finding the dragon did not mean she could cook the dragon meat. She had to kill it to obtain the dragon meat. Killing the dragon was much harder than finding it. That was a bold dream that Cook Fiona never expected from ZhenZhen.

"Even though we just met, I almost like everything about you, Zhen Lass. Alright, let's not waste your time anymore, I want you to inherit my legacy but with a condition!" Elder Fiona said seriously. Her smile vanished as her expression was replaced with solemnness.

"I am willing to listen to your condition, Cook Fiona," ZhenZhen nodded seriously. When it came to cooking, she took the matter very seriously.

"I just want you to spread my name. I want the family of the City Lord of the Eternal Wind City to hear my name. I want them to know that the cook they threw away into the gorge back then has achieved her dream and also found a worthy successor." Cook Fiona said as her gentle smile returned to her face.

"I will do it even if you don't ask me to. While I want to learn from others, I also want others to learn from me. That way, we, the cooks, could develop a better environment for the gourmet world and I hope a new technique or more things that are related to cooking would be discovered." ZhenZhen said passionately as she closed her eyes, imagining she became the pioneer that changed the gourmet world.

"Even loftier ambition than cooking dragon meat, but both are equally hard," Cook Fiona commented with a smile, "Good, I am satisfied with you. Do you want to become my successor, ZhenZhen?"

[Fiona the Guru Spices has offered her legacy! Accept/Decline?]

[The Unknown Guru Cook's Legacy]

Class: Guru Spices Successor

Potential: Epic Potential

ZhenZhen did not hesitate to choose "Accept". By accepting the legacy, she opened the gate to the gourmet world. This was the start of her eventful journey in Tribe Online.

[You have accepted the Unknown Guru Spices Legacy!]

[Congratulations! You have inherited the Epic Class, Guru Spices Successor!]

[Congratulations! You have learned Guru Spices skill sets!]

ZhenZhen stayed longer and chatted about cooking before she was sent out with one task by her Teacher. Now she was allowed to call the old lady Teacher Fiona as she was now officially Fiona's successor.

"ARGHHHHHHH!" Ming screamed on top of his lungs. He had prepared for this but it was still too terrifying. Thanks to this, his heartbeat raced so quickly that he got a warning from the Gaming Pod.

[Abnormality is found. You are advised to log out and do a check-up! Do you want to book a check-up at the closest hospital?]

Ming, of course, ignored the warning as his heartbeat would return normal once he respawned in the hidden village.

[You have been poisoned!]

[You have died!]

Ming died mid-air of free falling. All this time, he had been closing his eyes. When there was a notification asked him whether he wanted to respawn or not, he immediately replied with a big yes.

Even if somehow he failed to arrive at the hidden village, he was not going to try this method again. Once was enough.

Slowly, Ming opened his eyes while praying inwardly, 'Hidden Village! Please let me respawn in the hidden village oh Budha!' With the hope that his prayer was listened to by Budha, Ming opened his eyes.
