"According to my progress, I can directly participate in the World Series next year." Luo He said half-jokingly.

Li Wanqing snorted softly and said:

"Okay, what else did you see in the spirit world? Please report it in detail and record it."

Luo He observed her expression and said, "Are you...really okay?"

"Something's wrong." Li Wanqing said, "It needs to be cooked by someone's own hands to make it better."

Luo He smiled and said: "Okay, let's have dinner first and report later!"

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a knock on the door.

Luo He opened the door and took a look, and said in surprise:

"Mr. Laukin?!"

Outside the door, stood a dusty old man in a suit, nodding expressionlessly.

Luo He invited Lao Jin to sit on the sofa in the house, made him a pot of tea, and listened to him slowly say:

"I heard that something happened to you, so I rushed here. I heard the news that you are safe and sound. I feel more relieved."

Luo He was greatly moved and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lao Jin. If you don't mind, would you like to stay for a quick meal?"

"No, I still have official duties..." Lao Jin was about to get up.

Luo He forced Lao Jin, who had stood up, to press down on the sofa and said:

"There is an old saying in Donghuang, it's called, come and come!"

Lao Jin was slightly startled and looked at Luo He up and down. He felt a little surprised when he realized that he had broken through to the fifth level of space power.

During this dazed moment, Luo He had already gotten into the kitchen, where the sound of pots and pans, fires and cooking could be heard.

Lao Jin pondered for a long time and thought to himself:

"That's right, you're already here, let's just have some home-cooked food today."

Today’s dishes at Luo He’s are:

Boiled cabbage, Wensi tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, squirrel mandarin fish, lion head...

There is a dazzling array of dishes and the tempting aroma fills your nostrils.

Lao Jin sat at the dining table, dumbfounded and unable to take down his chopsticks.

"Master Lao Jin, do you have any questions?" Li Wanqing was very observant. She sat next to Luo He and asked softly.

Lao Jin: "Didn't you say... have some home-cooked food?"

"yes."

Luo He pointed to the boiled cabbage: "This is cabbage."

Then he pointed at Wensi Tofu: "This is tofu."

"Isn't it homely?" Luo He looked at Li Wanqing.

"Very homely." Li Wanqing nodded.

“It’s just home-cooked!”

Luo He waved his hand:

"Mr. Lawkin, please!"

Lao Jin was stunned for a moment, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and said: "Then I'm not welcome..."

He took a spoonful of Wensi tofu soup and put it into his mouth.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a breeze blowing in my face.

Lao Jin's eyes widened in disbelief, and even the bags under his eyes seemed to have been relieved.

"tasty."

Lao Jin praised it without hesitation: "It is the best tofu soup I have ever tasted."

"Try other dishes." Luo He said cheerfully: "My craftsmanship will not disappoint you."

Lao Jin tasted other dishes one after another, his expression changing from tired to surprised.

He had heard of Luo He's title of "Heir of the Kitchen God" many times. It was said that Luo He's cooking skills could win the favor of the patron saint.

When I tasted it today, it really lived up to its reputation.

Lao Jin devoted himself wholeheartedly to cooking, and suddenly a trace of regret flashed through his heart.

I have missed so many dinners at Luo He before... What a pity!

Only when tasting delicious food will the man in the suit have a rare smile on his face.

After having had enough wine and food, Lao Jin returned to the tired look of a social animal and said slowly:

"I have to rush back to the imperial capital to deal with the accumulated official business."

Luo He nodded in understanding.

"I am grateful for your invitation today." Lao Jin said politely: "Next time, I will come back with a banquet."

Luo He smiled and said: "You are too polite... Let's have dinner together again if we have a chance."

Lao Jin nodded slightly and reminded:

"You should report the situation to Director Hu as soon as possible... He is also very worried about you."

"I understand." Luo He said, "I will go to the imperial capital tomorrow and explain it clearly to him in person."

This trip to the imperial capital, in addition to reporting what happened in the spiritual world, also has an important mission——

Give the [Psychic Core] entrusted by Director Li to the Scientific Research Bureau.

According to him, this invention has a certain role in promoting the development of mechanical life forms.

It is very likely that it can be applied to the pet beasts currently being developed by the Mechanical Bureau.

Sister Xiaolin once mentioned to me that the Machinery Bureau has a research and development plan code-named "Overlord" and has reserved a mechanical pet beast for me.

Luo He secretly thought...Now that the fifth pet slot has been opened, it's time to meet the mechanical pet.

The next day.

Luo He and Li Wanqing left Taihang Mountain together and returned to the imperial capital.

Summarize the itinerary.

Although there were accidents along the way, it was still very fruitful.

Xiu evolved into a heroic dog, and while his strength skyrocketed, he was able to keep up with the team's progress, and even obtained the 'Death Breath', a plug-in with a very high upper limit.

Luo He was thinking that the aura of death could be applied to the tactical field and develop a new tactic, [Granting Death Sword Aura]!

In the spirit world, I invited the three-headed dog of hell and the god of death to have a few meals. I don’t know if there will be contact in the future...

Luo He secretly prayed that it was best to say goodbye. The spirit world copy was still too difficult for him now!

[Death's Knife] This tableware is shrouded in various mysteries, and Luo He is still unable to fully control this item.

But I do lack Western kitchen utensils, and this table knife can indeed make up for the gap in my kitchen utensils.

The purpose of the psychic core and the true form of the mechanical pet beast... we have to wait until we go to the headquarters and meet Sister Xiaolin to find out.

“I haven’t gone to the [Qingqiu Country] yet.”

Luo He arranged the next trip and thought to himself:

"I don't know if this place is dangerous or not... I'd better ask Senior Bai Ze to find out when I have time."

Think of this.

Luo He asked Li Wanqing to return to Baizezun.

"I went to find Bai Ze." Li Wanqing said softly, "He didn't see me, and he didn't promise to save you. He just said that you would be back soon. It was just as he said..."

Luo He secretly thought...Other patron saints may not understand the spiritual world, but Bai Ze definitely knows it.

After all, in myths and legends, Bai Ze has the ability to travel between the Yin and Yang realms.

As his strength increased, Luo He realized more and more that totem level and patron saint were far from the upper limit of this world.

What I have to do is to continuously cultivate my own pet beasts and... improve my cooking skills!

Luo He looks up to the sky.

There are still three legendary kitchen utensils left.

White Tiger and Suzaku must be one of the seven holy beasts. I don’t know who the remaining holy beast is...

Imperial City, ninth game.
