Aincrad, first floor.

On the plain, Yasuna made a fire.

“…The Walking Mushroom relies on decomposing the flowers and plants of spring and summer and the fruits of autumn to generate energy and magic for movement. The remaining food is decomposed into juice in the body. When winter comes, these juices become their resources for wintering.”

With a snap, Yasuna covered the old book with both hands. "These are all things mentioned in this book. I don't know how much of them are true."

Next to the two of them was an unconscious walking mushroom with only the last drop of blood left.

After Yasuna hit the Walking Mushroom mercilessly, the Walking Mushroom turned into a bottle of material and fell out.

"The juice of the walking mushroom can be used for cooking."

"Let me see…"

"Okay, here you go." Yasna handed the book to Du Ming.

Open the preface.

The dark elves and forest elves have been gone for a long time, and the Nine United Kingdoms of the human race and the underground kingdom of Yaurnida of the dwarves have not been heard of for a long time. This is a new world without earth.

This was shortly after the earth was severed, and I, the tall man Leo, was on a journey in Aincrad in search of delicious food.

——Aincrad rice!

"Aincrad rice..."

After reading this strange name, Du Ming opened the book and saw the illustrated guide of the Walking Mushroom on the second page.

"Where did you get this book?" Du Ming asked curiously.

"It's in a small shop on the side of the central square. They sell it there."

"So, you have money as soon as you enter the game?" Du Ming asked puzzledly.

"No, the boss said I was the first customer and gave it to me..."

"Well, it's so good, if I were your boss I might give you a copy..."

Yasuna subconsciously raised her index finger slightly, gently stroked her hair, and said meaningfully:

"You should say this to your wives. They will be very happy... Du Ming has so many wives. I guess he must have used some sinister means to trick them into marrying him. It's a pity that I'm the only one here that you can look at more, hehe~~"

"Uh... Yasna, come and take a look at the barbecue!" Du Ming said quickly.

In front of the two people, the pork was skewered into two skewers.

There were no iron needles or nets, and the pork was skewered on clean branches cut with a rapier.

The roasting time was much shorter than in the real world. The two of them only spoke a few words before the meat was almost roasted.

"Ah... yes, yes, it's time to add the seasoning..."

Yasuna obviously didn't expect the roasting time to be so short, and hurriedly poured the juice of the walking mushroom on the roasted meat.

In just a moment, the sound of the game system came into the ears of the two people - the SAO world after being realized also had traces of game elements such as the system.

【Mushroom-grilled pork (poor) is finished.】

"..." Yasuna was silent for a few seconds.

"Not so..."

"It's okay. No matter who you are, it's impossible to grill meat to perfection right away. What's more, what if the judging criteria of this system are different from our human taste buds..."

Du Ming immediately picked up the barbecue and took a bite.

I have already thought of the lines in my mind:

If it tastes good: It's so soft, so good, and the taste is very unique. It's worthy of being the pork roasted by Yasuna. It's tender, smooth and refreshing, making people want to eat more... and by the way, you have to pretend to be drooling.

If that's not so good, then say that the meat has no fishy smell and tastes a bit like some kind of pork in the real world, then express regret that you don't eat much pork and can't really tell the difference, then change the subject naturally and talk about food in the real world.

But no matter what, you must keep nodding your head after taking the first bite and then express your thoughts.

Du Ming took a bite of the hot barbecue, and his tongue naturally touched the barbecue.

"Uh…"

Du Ming seemed to be covered in paralyzing powder. He froze in place and didn't speak for several seconds.

After a few seconds, he suddenly remembered that he still had lines to say, and quickly opened his mouth.

"…This meat…tastes…unique, no fishy smell…As expected of Yasuna. By the way, Yasuna, doesn’t this meat have a realistic flavor? Quite…"

"No need to say more, Du Ming."

The corner of Yasuna's mouth twitched, and he sighed, taking a bite of another piece of barbecue.

"Isn't that really possible..."

After swallowing a few mouthfuls, Yasuna quickly stood up.

"Du Ming, I'm leaving! I've found what I want to do here. I will become stronger and defeat the boss on the first floor. This is my responsibility as a person who knows the truth. Beyond this, I want to explore Aincrad and become a chef who surpasses Leo, the author of 'Aincrad Rice'.

“Du Ming, wait until the next time we meet… No, next time might be too early.

“From now on…from now on, I will definitely let you taste the best barbecue that is not inferior to anyone else.

"Even... not just barbecue, I want to make the best dish, a dish that is a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times better than today's barbecue.

"You can't escape my delicious taste!"

Asuna pouted, looking unwilling to admit defeat.

It seems that the "poor" system evaluation and Du Ming's few seconds of pause in his secrets really hit Yasuna.

"Ah."

Du Ming responded seriously: "Asuna can definitely do it."

"Well, of course!"

Yasna paused, turned around, said goodbye to Du Ming and left.

… …

There is no career system in the SAO game world.

same.

In this realized SAO world, there is no distinction between professions.

Players use weapons and skills to distinguish between professions, such as the "one-handed swordsman" who uses a one-handed straight sword, the "shield warrior" equipped with heavy armor and shields, and the "thrusting swordsman" who uses a rapier.

Similarly, there is no distinction between secondary occupations. Those who specialize in life skills are called "blacksmith", "tailor", "merchant", "chef", etc.

In the SAO world, the properties and characteristics of most items and weapons can be intuitively understood after obtaining them.

Du Ming has not yet heard of any "appraiser" skill or profession that can identify the attributes of items and weapons with just a "ding" sound, which is quite a pity.

"But... in this world, being a chef is quite convenient."

In a small lake, the float on the end of the fishing line cast by Du Ming began to sink and float violently. Du Ming manipulated the fishing rod, moving his wrist in rhythm with the hook, and after a few strokes, he pulled a nearly 80-centimeter-long, silver-gray fish out of the water in one breath.

The fish was caught directly in Du Ming's hand and could not jump away.

"It's not fish sauce, it's sea bass!"

Du Ming muttered to himself, and then threw the pieces of clean fish meat into an iron pot that had been prepared long ago.

Half a minute later, a bowl of fish soup was quickly served, and Du Ming was also given a large bowl for the soup.

"What a pity! The soup and the bowl are bound together. Once you finish drinking the soup, the bowl will disappear..."

After drinking the fish soup, Du Ming took out a pebble from the game's prop bar.

"Without identification skills, I can't tell what this thing is, but one thing is very clear, this thing is definitely not an ordinary stone..."

After a few days of recovery, Du Ming's body recovered a lot, but there are still some problems. He is not using Qi very smoothly.

This can also be seen from the status bar in the game.
